Seattle Jazz Scene

Make sure and catch the last night of Jack DeJohnette‘s quartet tonight at Jazz Alley. Their show last night, which featured Don Byron on tenor saxophone and clarinet subbing for an ailing Ravi Coltrane, was near capacity and the group played 90 minutes straight through morphing from song to song.

If you are used to seeing DeJohnette with Keith Jarrett’s trio this will be an entirely different experience.

Rounding out the group is George Colligan on piano, keyboards and pocket trumpet, and Matt Garrison on bass.

They play one set starting at 7:30pm.

Steve Kuhn (p), Buster Williams (b), Joey Baron (d)

Poignant rhythmic chops blend seamlessly with harmonic cognizance and an esteemed fluidity of solos for Steve Kuhn, a mainstay in the jazz community for more than fifty years. Known in part for his capacity to get a full-bodied tone out of the whole range of the instrument, Kuhn’s ability to complement his lyrical right hand with rich, dexterous left hand lines is unparalleled.

Joey Baron, drums, and Steve Swallow, bass, join Kuhn on his recent Wisteria (ECM, 2012), an album evincing the intricate swing, lyrical grace and conversational group interaction for which Kuhn and his trios have come to be revered. His lastest trio includes Buster Williams on bass.

Buster Williams, one of the industry’s most seasoned and diverse bassists, most recently collaborated with Kuhn on the pianist’s Plays Standards (Venus, 2009), with Al Foster on drums. Providing unique takes on well-known, and a few lesser known, standards, Willams and Kuhn allow themselves to focus on playful interplay, clearly at home in the classic pieces. Williams’ extensive background ranges from the watertight funk and fusion of Herbie Hancock’s Mwandishi Sextet to sharp-toothed hard bop, the whole time doubling on electric and upright bass. Williams has also released a dozen albums as leader, consistently recruiting some of the industry’s biggest names, including Kenny Barron, Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock.

Joey Baron has appeared on two of Steve Kuhn’s last three albums – Mostly Coltrane (ECM, 2009) and the aforementioned Wisteria. No stranger to the Seattle scene, Baron has been a long-time collaborator with Bill Frisell, appearing on nine Frisell albums. Baron also worked with John Zorn, Wayne Horvitz and Frisell in the group Naked City in the late-eighties and early nineties, in addition to numerous other Zorn projects, including acoustic Masada, with Dave Douglas. Baron has carved out a large niche for himself as one of the most sought after drummers in the business. With a professional relationship dating back twenty years, Baron and Kuhn have had time to develop quite a strong piano-drum rapport.

Note: Sue Nixon is performing tonight at Serafina.

from The Seattle Times:

Sue Nixon left her Lake Union home on Valentine’s Day six years ago feeling good about her new job and confident in her Dolce & Gabbana overcoat.

Three minutes later, she was unconscious, her coat torn off as two passers-by performed CPR to keep her heart beating.

Nixon had suffered a cardiac arrest, and for almost 10 minutes her heart fluttered, unable to pump blood on its own. An off-duty nurse, a letter carrier and some luck kept her alive until paramedics arrived.

“I didn’t used to care about Valentine’s Day,” Nixon said. “But I’ve reclaimed it back.”

Nixon was driving down a residential street when she lost consciousness, causing a minor accident. The nurse, who had unexpectedly gotten the day off, and the postal worker, who was on his route through the neighborhood, rushed to her aid.

Nixon, now 47, says she owes it to others to share her story. On Tuesday she spoke at a welcome lunch for the 39th class of the UW Paramedic Training Program.

via AP:

Jazz musician Donald Byrd, a leading hard-bop trumpeter of the 1950s who collaborated on dozens of albums with top artists of his time and later enjoyed commercial success with hit jazz-funk fusion records such as “Black Byrd,” has died. He was 80.

He died Feb. 4 in Delaware, according to Haley Funeral Directors in the Detroit suburb of Southfield, Mich., which is handling arrangements. It didn’t have details on his death.

Byrd, who was also a pioneer in jazz education, attended Cass Technical High School in Detroit, played in military bands in the Air Force and moved to New York in 1955. The trumpeter, whose given name was Donaldson Toussaint L’Ouverture Byrd II, rose to national prominence when he joined Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers later that year, filling the seat in the bebop group held by his idol Clifford Brown.

He soon became one of the most in-demand trumpeters on the New York scene, playing with Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk. He also began his recording career by leading sessions for Savoy and other labels.

In 1958, he signed an exclusive recording contract with the Blue Note label and formed a band with a fellow Detroit native, baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams, making their label debut with the 1959 album “Off to the Races.” The band became one of the leading exponents of the hard-bop style, which evolved from bebop and blended in elements of R&B, soul and gospel music. A 1961 recording, “Free Form,” brought attention to then 20-year-old pianist Herbie Hancock.

ON THE SCENE WITH HOWARD LONDNER

Jan 17, 2013
Hardcoretet at the Triple Door
Art Brown – alto sax
Aaron Otheim – keyboard
Tim Carey – electric bass
Tarik Abouzied – drums

These young men play in a jazz fusion genre. Not my favorite kind of jazz. Tarik explained it to me on the break,… Older jazz tunes the head (the A) is played, then all the solos (the B), longer solos than with fusion stuff, then the head (the A) to finish up. With fusion songs the head will be played multiple times with one solo between each time the head is played. Tarik, I hope I got it right. If not, please write in and correct me. I owe you a beer ( there you go dude, I put it in writing!).

The main thing I didn’t care for is that their harmony was too tight. I prefer a little more edginess between the bass and keyboards. Sometimes I couldn’t tell where the keyboards left off and where the bass began. Besides that I had a real good time listening to these four guys.

They played some Herbie Hancock tunes, a lot of originals, and I thought I recognized one song from a Dave Holland CD.
