Yes, Bill Barton said it: this was a do-not-miss event! This sold-out CD release party for Hadley Caliman’s Origin release, Gratitude, was a fine representation of the richness of the Seattle jazz scene infused with lots of New York energy. Everyone in the band was on their toes and it showed in creative soloing, interesting arrangements and a wonderful ensemble dynamic. Here is my version of the night as experienced from the big round table at the back of Tula’s (which was also the locus of a cool between-set hang).
Hadley Caliman is a Northwest treasure because he is a great musician with a creative voice on the saxophone. To my ears, he is grounded in the post-bop ‘60s sound of Joe Henderson and John Coltrane, which for me, is the benchmark of modern tenor saxophone. He veers towards Coltrane on the up-tempo tunes, while his phrasing and tone are more Henderson-esque.
The first set consisted of selections from Caliman’s new CD and included: “Back for More,” a 6/8 blues by Marriott; “Invitation”; “Linda” by Caliman; “If,” a Joe Henderson blues; and ending with the first tune Caliman ever wrote, entitled “Comencio.” The set was marked by concise, energetic playing and there were, in fact, no long-winded solos all night.
By the second set, the groove and credentials of the band had been established. Caliman’s tone, subdued and hindered by an unsympathetic sound system in the first set, was full, resonant and well-mic’ed in the second set. The moment that I got Hadley’s playing was in the second set on his version of “Lush Life.” This is a tune with famous recordings by both Coltrane and Henderson–it’s hard to get away from these definitive versions–but Caliman asserted his voice with langorous phrases full of creativity, originality, and a lifetime of experience. It was the best of Hadley Caliman’s saxophone playing and one of the more memorable moments of the evening. Read More

OA2 Records presents a double-bill of music on Tuesday, March 11 at The Seattle Drum School featuring music from Daniel Barry‘s new CD, “Walk All Ways,” and The Seattle Women’s Jazz Orchestra and their recent CD, “Meeting Of The Waters.”
Sculpting a new acoustic sound that defies categorization while voicing universal sonorities, Daniel Barry creates a fluid blend of chamber music and improvised shapes for the 21st century. “Walk All Ways” interweaves Western Classical music traditions with the sensuous rhythmic vitality of the Caribbean and South America, adding the spirit of free-blowing jazz to create a distinct, original all-encompassing world vision expressed through the pure language of sound.
SWOJO shows off their musical muscle in this set of original tracks recorded live in concert. Performing the music of Hazel Leach, Jill Townsend and their musical director, Dr. Daniel Barry, “Meeting of the Waters” exhibits the power, energy and spirit of the 7-year old group’s live performances. SWOJO’s distinctive sound blends the dynamic and the artful, the bold and the sensitive, exploring the jazz mainstream and all manner of Latin music.
