from The Seattle Times:

It’s a curious irony that at a time when entire music collections can be shrunk down to the size of a couple of sticks of gum, certain music packages keep getting larger.

Hot on the heels of the much-celebrated remastered Beatles sets, Sony Legacy is releasing “Miles Davis: The Complete Columbia Album Collection,” a beautiful but somewhat daunting stockpile of 52 albums on more than 70 CDs spanning four decades in the jazz trumpeter’s storied and fiercely unpredictable career.

The Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra with Joe Doria, organ (photo by Daniel Sheehan)

A special Jazz Northwest show of combined highlights from two concerts celebrating Ray Charles and Quincy Jones will air on Sunday, November 22 at 1 pm (PT) on 88.5 KPLU and kplu.org. The full Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra is heard in concert from the Kirkland Performance Center, and the SRJO Octet played at The Seattle Art Museum. Hammond B3 organist Joe Doria and singer Dean Bowman are guests with the orchestra and Bernie Jacobs is guest vocalist with the octet. Both concerts were presented by Earshot and recorded earlier this month for this broadcast.

Ray Charles and Quincy Jones began their historic collaboration when they met in Seattle sixty years ago. Both went on to international fame and became megastars in popular music as well as jazz and soul music. Their famous 1961 album together “Genius + Soul = Jazz” remains a landmark in American music and provides the basis for these concerts.

The Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra is co-directed by Clarence Acox and Michael Brockman and presents a regular concert season in Seattle and Kirkland. For more information see srjo.org , Joe Doria’s website is joedoriamusic.com

Jazz Northwest is recorded and produced by Jim Wilke exclusively for 88-5 KPLU and kplu.org. A podcast of the show is available after the airdate at kplu.org.

TRACTOR TAVERN: Reptet CD Release w/ Orkestar Zirkonium & Darek Mazzone
from Earshot Jazz: At Tractor Tavern, the grooving, rocking, squawking, and manically fun Reptet hop around the history of jazz and entertain mightily, as you will hear at the release of their new 7” vinyl record and digital release, Agendacide. Reptet will perform original music from their album and repertoire. Reptet is Samantha Boshnack (trumpets), Nelson Bell (trombone, tuba), Izaak Mills (tenor sax, bass clarinet, flute), Chris Credit (baritone sax, tenor sax, alto sax, clarinet), Tim Carey (double bass, bass guitar), John Ewing (drums), all members of the sterling Monktail Creative Music Concern. The band’s releases have included the CDs Do This! (Monktail, 2006) and Chicken or Beef? (Monktail, 2008) which have fueled their local gigs and national and international tours. Reptet is releasing Agendacide as a digital download and 7” red vinyl record, accompanied by stunning cover art by the late great jazz illustrator, Jim Flora. It was produced by the band, and features a guest appearance by the Wayne Horvitz on Hammond organ. Doug Haire at Jack Straw Productions recorded The Jack Straw Artists Support Program-assisted album early this year, and it then benefited from overdubs, mixing, and mastering by Mell Dettmer at Alpha Studios and Sinister Kitchen. Opening the party will be opened by Orkestar Zirkonium, the Balkan-inspired, mobile, brass-and-drum troupe, while DJ Darek Mazzone, of KEXP, will leaven the proceedings, throughout. A wonderful time is guaranteed, for all. At the Tractor Tavern at 9pm, all for a mere $8; over-21 only.

It is 1962 in central Los Angeles and a young 17 year-old tenor saxophonist named Pete Christlieb has met his idol. Hadley Caliman is only thirty years-old but has already made a name for himself as one of the jazz stars on the rise. Christlieb follows Caliman to his gigs throughout Los Angeles and at the end of the night the youngster is invited up on stage to sit in on a few tunes.

Hadley Caliman went on to perform with Freddie Hubbard, Santana, Mongo Santamaria and The Grateful Dead. Pete Christlieb has worked with Steely Dan, Tom Waits, Louie Bellson, Chet Baker, Woody Herman, Doc Severinsen, Warne Marsh and Bill Holman.

Don’t miss these two saxophone legends as they reunite at The Ballard Jazz Walk this Friday, November 20th!
