CHAN CENTRE DOT COM SERIES Magos Herrera and Brooklyn Rider A digital production presented by the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts Watch online from Feb 12, 2021 at 7pm PT | Live pre-show artist talk at 6:15pm PT Read about the virtual experience here One of contemporary Latin music’s most expressive voices, Magos Herrera is “without a doubt the best jazz singer out of Mexico, and is establishing herself among the best singers in jazz” (JazzTimes). Known for her eloquent vocal improvisations that embrace Latin American melodies and rhythms, Mexican-born Herrera’s exquisite songs in Spanish, English, and Portuguese surpass language boundaries with their exceptional beauty. The dizzyingly eclectic string quartet Brooklyn Rider has worked with Yo-Yo Ma and Joshua Redman, and performed music by Philip Glass and Björk. “The future of chamber music” (Strings Magazine), Brooklyn Rider features violinists Johnny Gandelsman and Colin Jacobsen, violist Nicholas Cords, and cellist Michael Nicolas, plus guest percussionist Mathias Kunzli. These omnivorous artists join forces for Dreamers—a project that celebrates music as a political act by imaginatively reinterpreting gems from the Ibero-American songbook (Caetano Veloso, João Gilberto, etc.) alongside new pieces adapted from texts written by Rubén Darío, Federico García Lorca, and other poets from regions that endured brutal state violence. An outspoken social justice champion, Herrera stresses that these are beautiful songs, but beauty with purpose: “It’s important to remember that every big change in history happened because someone dared to dream about it.” PRE-SHOW TALK: There will be a pre-show talk for this performance via Zoom at 6:15pm PT on Friday, February 12. Magos Herrera and Brooklyn Rider’s Colin Jacobsen will join Pablo Pietropaolo for a conversation about their music and collaboration. More information on how to watch this online event will be available closer to the date.

New Orleans avant-jazz saxophonist Kidd Jordan improvises his way to $50K fellowship BY KEITH SPERA | STAFF WRITER FEB 3, 2021 - 9:00 AM Keith Spera Author email Avant-jazz saxophonist and educator Edward “Kidd” Jordan didn’t always get paid. Audiences and venue owners sometimes responded poorly to his adventurous, mostly improvised approach to jazz, which prioritizes being in the moment more than melody. “Some people liked it, and some walked out,” he recalled recently. “They’d say, ‘Y’all play that crazy music. Y’all crazy.’ We were, but it developed into something.” Staring down an empty venue, he’d prep his bandmates with, “We’re going to play for the seats tonight.” But, he said, “I’d see the seats dancing. “Come hell or high water, whether you were making a million dollars or you knew they were going to run out with the money and you weren’t getting paid, it was the same thing: we played, and we had a great time. If you get a dollar, you get a dollar.” https://www.nola.com/entertainment_life/music/article_80edda40-6592-11eb-8c3a-2f29a0762105.html

Herbie Mann, Hold On I'm Comin' (Atlantic)

I bought them from dustygroove.

I checked and I could keep going--I have 7 LPs on Epic--Ruby Braff, Wild Bill Davis at Birdland, Earl Hines Trio and Soundtrack to All Night Long.

Ahmad Jamal Trio (Epic) Ahmad Jamal Trio (Epic) Lionel Hampton, Apollo Hall Concert 1954 (Epic)

Nahawa Doumbia, Kanawa (Awesome Tapes from Africa)

Gerry Mullligan, Jazz Combo from I Want to Live (United Artists)

Dizzy Gilespie, Dizzy On the French Riviera (Philips) Tyree Glenn, At the Roundtable (Roulette) Much better sound than original Limelight LPs.

At that price, it must be a double album.

I like all of his recent string of Blue Note records, including the Marvels. I heard the Marvels without Bill Frisell (instead with the guitarist from Lucinda Williams' band) and it was not an improvement.
