Former New York City trumpeter Jim Rotondi, who recently moved to Graz, Austria, is passing through town on Wednesday, February 2, to perform at Tula’s before heading up to The Cellar in Vancouver.

The band features Mark Taylor (saxophone), John Hansen (piano), Phil Sparks (bass) and Matt Jorgensen (drums). Reservations are suggested (206-443-4221).

Jim’s extensive recording experience most recently includes the release of his second date as a leader for the Posi-Tone label, titled “Blues For Brother Ray”, a tribute to his former boss Ray Charles, following a host of successful releases on various labels. Having appeared on some 70 CD’s as a sideman, he can also be heard on several of Charles Earland’s Highnote Records releases, alongside saxophonist Eric Alexander, with whom Jim made his recording debut on Eric’s Delmark release “Straight Up.” Other recordings include saxophonist George Coleman’s Octet, featuring Harold Mabern, as well as drummer Ray Appleton’s Sextet, which features Slide Hampton, Charles McPherson, and John Hicks. The above mentioned One For All, whose Sharp Nine Records releases “Too Soon To Tell” and “Optimism” received critical acclaim from Cadence and The Detroit Free Press, also has 12 CD’s to their credit.

Note: Nels Cline performs Saturday at the Is That Jazz? Festival at The Chapel.

Staying in motels and cruising down the West Coast in a van packed with gear isn’t everyone’s idea of an ideal honeymoon, but any chance to make music together is a special occasion for Wilco guitarist Nels Cline and multi-instrumentalist Yuka Honda, best known as a founding member of Cibo Matto.

After marrying in Japan last November, they hunkered down in upstate New York to record their duo project, “Fig,” an album slated for release on Sean Lennon’s label, Chimera Music. (Honda played with Lennon in Cibo Matto.) Now Honda’s on the road with the Nels Cline Singers, performing as a special guest with the guitarist’s volatile instrumental trio featuring bassist Trevor Dunn and drummer Scott Amendola.

The Pacific Jazz Institute at Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley presents jazz pianist Bill Charlap in a trio format. Band members include Sean Smith (bass) and Kenny Washington (drums). Set times Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30pm. Doors open at 6:00pm on Tuesday and 5:30pm Wednesday.

“Charlap’s melodic charm, insouciant swing and harmonic élan unfold with a deceptive ease… Also significant is Charlap’s economy of means. Regardless of tempo, his music breathes. Indeed, if Stan Getz had played piano, he just might have sounded like Bill Charlap,” –Chuck Berg JazzTimes

One of the world’s premier jazz pianists, Bill Charlap has performed and recorded with many leading artists of our time, ranging from jazz masters Phil Woods and Wynton Marsalis to singers Tony Bennett and Barbra Streisand. Since 1997, he has led the Bill Charlap Trio with bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington, now recognized as one of the leading groups in jazz. Charlap is the artistic director of New York City’s Jazz in July Festival, and he has produced concerts for Jazz at Lincoln Center, the JVC Jazz Festival and the Hollywood Bowl.
