from The Seattle Times:

Most major American jazz presenters outside New York City fill their festivals with out-of-town talent, leaving local players to grumble over crumbs. By contrast, the Earshot Jazz Festival’s animating principle can be summed up as: Think global and book local.

Running Oct. 12-Nov. 4, Earshot’s 24th edition features 52 concerts at more than a dozen Seattle area venues. More often than not, boldface jazz names and international talent share a double bill with progressive Seattle artists.

This strategy results in fascinating juxtapositions, such as the long-running trio of Panamanian-born pianist Danilo Perez paired with the intricate chamber jazz of rising trombonist/composer Andy Clausen’s Wishbone, an accordion-driven quintet featuring the same cast as his recent Table & Chairs album “Wishbone Suite.”

The luminous Los Angeles-based Brazilian jazz vocalist Luciana Souza’s trio finds a lyrical match in pianist Dave Peck’s trio and pianist Vijay Iyer’s rhythmically turbocharged New York trio shares the stage with Seattle trumpeter Cuong Vu’s spacious band Triggerfish.

Fittingly, the festival opens with Garfield High School’s tribute to beloved educator and drummer Clarence Acox, celebrating his 35-year tenure as director of the school’s acclaimed jazz program.

As Earshot’s featured artist, bassist Evan Flory-Barnes plays in a series of disparate settings, starting with intimate duo encounters with bassist Jeff Johnson and pianist Dawn Clement at the Chapel Performance Space.

Revisiting one of last year’s signature performances, the all-star quintet Human Spirit reunites trumpeter Thomas Marriott, alto saxophonist Mark Taylor and drummer Matt Jorgensen, all busy bandleaders responsible for essential Seattle ensembles, with the East Coast rhythm section of pianist Orrin Evans and bassist Essiet Essiet. The concert celebrates the release of the eponymous Origin Records CD documenting 2011’s searing Earshot show.

Starting Monday, October 15, Human Spirit will kick off their West Coast Tour which starts nearly on the one-year anniversary of their live recording which resulted in their current release, Dialogue, on Origin Records. Joining them will be pianist Orrin Evans and bassist Essiet Essiet who are also featured on the CD.

Paul de Barros’ new book, Shall We Play That One Together?: The Life and Art of Jazz Piano Legend Marian McPartland, will be available on October 16.

From the book description:

In a world dominated by men, Marian McPartland distinguished herself as one of the greatest jazz pianists of her age.

Born in the UK as Margaret Marian Turner, Marian McPartland learned to play classical piano, but was passionately attracted to the rhythms of American jazz. Entertaining troops in WWII Europe, she met her future husband, Jimmy McPartland, a cocky young trumpet player who was the protege of the great Bix Beiderbecke. They were married and, together, they made jazz history. At first, Marian played second fiddle to Jimmy in Chicago, but when they moved to New York, Marian and her trio took up residence at the famous Hickory House where she thrilled the crowds from her perch on a stage in the middle of large oval bar. From there she went on to triumphs at places like the Montreaux Jazz Festival.  Possibly, her greatest accomplishment was the creation of NPR’s long-running show Piano Jazz.

More than the life story of one of our greatest artists, Shall We Play That One Together? by Paul de Barros chronicles an age when jazz was a vital art form. Just as inviting as Marian’s signature question on Piano Jazz, Shall We Play That One Together? is an invitation to readers everywhere to listen to the score of a bygone age.

from The Seattle Times:

When Gaye Anderson died in August, there was a huge outpouring of sorrow and sympathy from Seattle’s music community. For 27 years, Anderson owned and operated the New Orleans Creole Restaurant, in Pioneer Square, hosting jazz, blues and other American roots music.

“There was no one — I repeat, no one — that was as generous and kind and loving to the musicians as Gaye Anderson,” said drummer and Garfield High School Jazz Band director Clarence Acox when Anderson died.

Acox, who plays every Wednesday at the club with the Legacy Band, says so many musicians and friends wanted to pay homage to Anderson that instead of having one memorial, the club decided to host a weeklong “celebration of life” for the late club owner.

“Each house band will do their tribute on their night,” said Acox in an email that went out earlier this month to hundreds of players. “Musicians can sit in with the band on the night they feel most comfortable playing.”

Folks who want to pay their respects should come down on the night they would usually come.

It’s a good plan. The New Orleans has regular nights for different kinds of music — Monday and Tuesday, traditional New Orleans jazz; Wednesday, bebop and modern; Thursday, swing or trad; Fridays, modern jazz with Thomas Marriott’s Flexicon; and Saturdays and Sundays, blues.

Here’s the schedule (with the caveat that some programming is still in flux):

6:30 p.m. Monday: The New Orleans Quintet

7 p.m. Tuesday: Holotradband

8 p.m. Wednesday: The Legacy Quartet

7 p.m. Thursday: The Skelbred/Jackson Quintet (trad) and the Ham Carson Quintet (swing)

8 p.m. Sept. 28: Flexicon

2:30 p.m. Sept. 29: Blues, with Little Bill and the Blue Notes, Dick Powell, Chris Stevens, Jet City Flyers, Junkyard Jane, Tim Sherman, Stickshift Annie, Kimball Conant, Eric “Two Scoops” Moore, Nick Vigarino, the Fabulous Roofshakers and others to be announced.

2:30 p.m. Sept. 30: Blues, with Alice Stuart, Patti Allen with John Hanford, Pat Hues, Tom Erak, Mark DuFresne, Leslie Milton, Eric Verlinde and Elnah Jordan, Filé Gumbo and others to be announced.
