JOEY ALEXANDER PREMIERES MUSIC VIDEO FOR TITLE TRACK AND NEW SINGLE “WARNA” Song Is From His Upcoming Verve Records Debut Album WARNA Out January 31 Watch The Video Here “[Joey Alexander] evinces a deftness of touch, wit and, most important, emotional depth that would seem well beyond his years.” - JazzTimes Joey Alexander, the Grammy-nominated jazz pianist, composer and bandleader recently unveiled the music video for the title track and new single, “Warna.” The song is from his upcoming major label debut album WARNA (Verve Records). Slated for release January 31, the album is primarily a collection of reflective, moving new and original music by an experienced and confident musician. You can pre-order the album here and watch the video here. The “Warna” video showcases the growing confidence of Alexander as a musician/bandleader as he effortlessly leads the group through the track. It’s a visual testament to the trio of Alexander, bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Kendrick Scott shared joy of music-making. The live in-studio video was shot in June of 2019 at Sear Sound studios in New York, NY. Translating as “color” from Alexander’s native language of Bahasa, WARNA follows four Motéma Music albums that garnered the pianist three Grammy nominations and such honors as historic critics’ and readers’ poll victories in DownBeat and JazzTimes. Joining Alexander on the new album are Larry Grenadier and Kendrick Scott, who comprise the core piano trio. On several tracks, Venezuelan-born percussion Luisito Quintero, and flautist Anne Drummond, join the burgeoning jazz pianist. Alexander continues to captivate fans and critics alike. His performance at NPR’s Tiny Desk, was heralded by the outlet as “a set that ranks among the year's finest jazz performances at the Tiny Desk” and his undeniable talent was showcased on a 60 Minutes interview and a Today Show appearance. Alexander’s live performances have been enthusiastically received, and his just announced string of North American tour dates include Washington, DC, New York, NY, San Francisco, CA, and Boston, MA. Additionally, in July he will have two major overseas dates, in Italy at the Umbria Jazz Festival at Teatro Morlacchi and in the Netherlands at the North Sea Jazz Festival. Alexander arrived in New York as a lightning bolt in the spring of 2014, performing at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s annual fundraising gala. At the helm of a packed-out theater containing some of Manhattan’s most elite arts benefactors, Alexander amazed the audience with a remarkably lyrical rendition of “’Round Midnight.” A standing ovation ensued, and Alexander hasn’t slowed down since. The following spring, the New York Times wrote in an enthusiastic profile that “For a jazz pianist, the mastery entails a staggering breadth of knowledge about harmony, rhythm and orchestration, all converging in an eloquent synthesis. Joey Alexander has a handle on a good deal of that.” From there, he went on to receive three Grammy nominations, with two of Alexander’s four previous albums topping the Billboard Jazz Albums chart.

Martina DaSilva, Dan Chmielinski "A Very Chimytina Christmas" Format(s): Jazz Artist Title Time Martina DaSilva, Dan Chmielinski Diamonds and Pearls 04:23 Martina DaSilva, Dan Chmielinski Few Of My Favorite Things 03:52 Martina DaSilva, Dan Chmielinski Greensleeves 01:47 Martina DaSilva, Dan Chmielinski Grinch 03:00 Martina DaSilva, Dan Chmielinski Last Christmas 03:31 Martina DaSilva, Dan Chmielinski Merry Little Christmas 02:53 Martina DaSilva, Dan Chmielinski Presente de Natal 01:53 Martina DaSilva, Dan Chmielinski Santa Claus Is Coming to Town 02:59 Martina DaSilva, Dan Chmielinski When You Wish Upon A Star 03:05 Martina DaSilva, Dan Chmielinski Christmas Song 03:58 Martina DaSilva and Dan “Chimy” Chmielinski Offer Holiday Cheer with A Very Chimytina Christmas, out on Outside in Music Featuring special guests Joel Ross, Lucas Pino, Gabe Schnider and Ben Wolfe Outside in Music is proud to present A Very ChimyTina Christmas featuring viral jazz sensations Martina DaSilva and Dan “Chimy” Chmielinski. On their debut album, innovative vocalist Martina and stalwart bassist Chmielinski offer a fresh take on nine classic Christmas tunes and one joyous original composition. Saxophonist Lucas Pino, Vibraphonist Joel Ross, guitarist Gabe Schnider and bassist Ben Wolfe join the duo on select tracks. A Very Chimytina Christmas will be available everywhere on December 3rd. On A Very Chimytina Christmas, the duo takes on holiday classics such as “Greensleeves”, “The Christmas Song”, and the lead single and album highlight, “Last Christmas” and infuses them with their signature tight-knit and complex arranging style. Renowned saxophonist Lucas Pino lends his sound to “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”, while Joel Ross compliments the duo on “My Favorite Things” and “When You Wish Upon A Star”. DaSilva showcases her Brazilian heritage on João Gilberto’s “Presente De Natal” alongside guitarist Gabe Schnider, who also makes an appearance on the original composition “Diamonds and Pearls,” while Chmielinski’s Juilliard mentor Ben Wolfe joins on a unique two-bass arrangement of “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town”. A Very Chimytina Christmas is not just any old Christmas album - it’s an innovative musical exploration that truly reinvigorates the holiday music genre. While A Very Chimytina Christmas is the pair’s formal recorded debut, Martina DaSilva and Dan “Chimy” Chmielinski have been making music together for half a decade. Their musical collaboration began in 2014 and eventually blossomed into a semi-regular video series. Known as ChimyTina, the duo became viral sensations for their bass-vocal renditions of classic standards such as “The Best Things In Life Are Free”, “When I Grow Too Old To Dream”, and, tellingly, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”, among others. The demand for more music grew and thus, A Very Chimytina Christmas was born. New York native Martina DaSilva has been captivating audiences with her signature blend of daring technical virtuosity and expressive emotional sensitivity since she burst on the scene. Drawing equally from the styles of early jazz, opera, and chamber music, her musicality transcends conventional genre labelling. As a Brazilian-American, Martina also has a passion for performing the works of Brazilian composers. She is perhaps best known as the leader of the jazz vocal harmony group The Ladybugs. Known for its unique instrumentation of two lead singers, two trombonists, guitar and bass, The Ladybugs has performed across the country and received high praise and attention from the likes of Will Friedwald of the Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, the New York City Jazz Record and NPR. In addition to The Ladybugs, DaSilva leads her own group and has performed at the Kennedy Center, the Bern International Jazz Festival, the Blue Note Jazz Festival, the NYC Hot Jazz Festival, Jazz At Lincoln Center’s Generations in Jazz Festival, and the NY Winter Jazzfest. Dan “Chimy” Chmielinski is one of the most in-demand bassists in New York City. At just 25 years of age, the bassist/producer/bandleader/composer has worked and toured with an impressive list of jazz luminaries including Wynton Marsalis, Marc Cary, Brad Mehldau, and Joey Alexander, among many others. Chmielinski founded and leads several groups of his own, including “Four by Four,” an octet innovatively showcasing jazz quartet alongside string quartet, and “Circuit Kisser,” an electronic ensemble consisting of five synthesizers, electric bass and drums, combining jazz harmonies and electronic music; both showcasing Dan’s original compositions. A Juilliard graduate, Chmielinski has played in 14 different countries and has collaborated with country music sensation Kelsea Ballerini on national television, accompanied the stars of Broadway’s “Hamilton”, performed with Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump and recorded on the soundtrack for Woody Allen’s “Cafe Society”. He is a prolific composer having scored his first film (“Smoke In The Air”) in 2012 and countless short films, documentaries and feature films since then. A Very Chimytina Christmas brings together the rich and diverse backgrounds of these two musical prodigies. The end result is a warm holiday offering that not only inspires Christmas cheer, but showcases the stunning result when two virtuosic musicians join forces. Attachments chimytina .. A Very Chi..

She studied classical piano as a young girl in Edmonton, and later classical voice at the University of Victoria – where she simultaneously performed with a local jazz trio. She temporarily moved back to Edmonton, at that time known as Canada’s “Jazz City.” Claudia sang in various venues in Edmonton, often performing alongside well-known Canadian artists, such as P.J. Perry, and was honored to be the first Canadian female singer for American trombonist Bob Stroup, who co-founded Edmonton’s Grant McEwan College Jazz Program (which she attended). Before moving to Los Angeles on a music scholarship, she also participated in a Jazz Camp at the Banff School of Fine Arts studying & singing with American Blues artist, “Big” Miller. Once settled in Los Angles, Claudia furthered her music studies at the Dick Grove School of Music in Studio City where she graduated with honors in the Composing and Arranging Program (CAP). Here she composed and arranged for various contemporary styles, which culminated in her final project for a 40 - piece orchestra. She then took an extended “detour” from her musical ventures, obtaining an MBA at UCLA, and focusing on a second career in entertainment business management in Los Angeles until 2014. Happily, Claudia is now pursuing a re-inspired career as a singer and song-writer. In the last several years, she has performed in Canada, Los Angeles and Ventura County. Claudia released her first CD entitled “With Heart and Soul”, in 2015 which is available on iTunes (Apple Music), YouTube, Amazon, and Spotify Claudia’s second CD “Songs from the Raggedy Road”, (inspired by her life journey with her emphasis on various vocal stylings, which she affectionately describes as “Jazz, etcetera...” ) was released on September 1, 2019, and features several of Claudia Koval’s original works, as well covers of a few of her favorite songs. Her CD release show (Played to a packed house at Feinstein’s at Vitello’s) was a joyous success! For updates, visit www.claudiakoval.com email: claudiakovalsings@gmail.com Attachments Reviews – ..

Melissa Manchester I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm 04:17 Keb' Mo' When The Children Sing 03:07 Keb' Mo' One More Year With You 04:17 LEGENDARY GRAMMY-AWARD WINNER KEB’ MO’ ANNOUNCES FIRST HOLIDAY ALBUM MOONLIGHT, MISTLETOE & YOU Following the release of Keb’ Mo’s deeply thought-provoking album, Oklahoma, that brought worldly issues to the forefront, the seasoned musician returns to lift spirits with a heartfelt feel-good holiday album, Moonlight, Mistletoe & You via Concord Records. After 25 years performing under the moniker “Keb’ Mo’,” the widely respected artist has finally gifted his eclectic global fanbase his first Christmas album, offering a melting pot of influences and original songs. Moonlight, Mistletoe & You embraces Keb' Mo's diverse talents, having “built his now legendary reputation as a bluesman but [proving] to be equally adept in R&B and Americana-styled roots music” (Glide Magazine), showcasing the 4X GRAMMY-Award winner’s genre-bending capability. Produced by Keb’ himself and recorded by Zach Allen at Stu Stu Studio in Franklin, Tennessee, the malleable artist provides seven new songs sprinkled with three covers. “After 25 years of performing without releasing a Christmas album, I felt now was as good a time as any to spread some love and compassion,” Keb’ Mo’ says. “There’s something about Christmas time that makes everyone’s hearts a little lighter and I wanted to contribute to the movement of spreading a little joy. I feel like I was able to accomplish that through the making of Moonlight, Mistletoe & You.” All can relate to the humorous track, “Christmas Is Annoying,” helping one’s inner Scrooge shine while pointing out the always-maddening events that come along with the Christmas season like maxing credit cards and having “no time to relax.” He makes sure to also highlight the romance that soars throughout the holiday season with the title track “Moonlight, Mistletoe, And You” including a saxophone solo courtesy of Gerald Albright. Keb’ puts his spin on a Christmas Classic, “Please Come Home for Christmas” offering a more uplifting optimistic disposition versus the Charles Brown original and the many covers that have followed it. Keb’s warm version of the song offers a sense of hope. Staying true to his Blues roots, Keb’ uses the building blocks of a proper Blues song with tracks “Santa Claus Santa Claus” and “Santa Claus Blues,” while bringing his own flair to the Mildred Bailey original and Billie Holiday covered classic, “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm.” Keb’ keeps a jazz-like sway throughout with the help of Melissa Manchester’s distinctive vocals. Closing track “One More Year With You” starts with jingle bells accompanied by piano and brass horns throughout, giving one all the Christmas feels and closing the album on a high note singing, “sign me up for one more year with you.” Keb’ Mo’ will hit the road in support of the release of Moonlight, Mistletoe & You.

A performer, songwriter, impresario, teacher, and jazz writer, she is a linchpin on the Los Angeles jazz scene. Segal-Garcia has produced 12 CDs under her own name since 1992. She is now releasing her 13th project, STRAIGHT AHEAD TO THE U.K. Segal-Garcia first recorded the project in 2011 in England, but the original producer died and the project sat on the shelf ever since, until Segal-Garcia’s executive producer urged her to revive the project. After listening to the album again after so many years, Segal-Garcia wanted to do something different with the music, and brought the CD to Los Angeles bassist and producer JOHN LEFTWICH. Segal-Garcia wanted to bring her vocals up-to-date with new ideas, so she decided to re-sing almost the entire album. With Segal-Garcia’s new approach to the vocals, Leftwich thought it would be a good idea to also bring on board additional musicians to reflect the album’s new attitude, so he brought in some top L.A. players. The songs on STRAIGHT AHEAD TO THE U.K. comprise an assemblage of standards, modern jazz compositions, and a couple of originals by Segal-Garcia. Cathy Segal-Garcia’s recordings always have elements of fun and soulfulness with musical surprises that never fail to delight. STRAIGHT AHEAD TO THE U.K., in its re-sung, re-orchestrated, and re-engineered form, is a testament to her ever-evolving creativity. www.cathysegalgarcia.com Attachments Dee Dee M.. ALL ABOUT ..

The effervescent and melodic music propels the listener forward with each musician’s modern unique voice, while masterfully playing homage to the tradition of be-bop. NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. - Respected saxophonist and educator, Doug Stone, showcases his brilliant technique and harmonic ingenuity in his latest release Motion (OiM2010). Doug Stone’s career thus far has involved work as a touring musician, primarily with jazz trumpet legend Maynard Ferguson and his band, the Big Bop Nouveau, as well as with the “world-jazz” group Panoramic. He is a distinguished graduate of the Northern Illinois University and the Eastman School of Music, where he holds a double master's degree in jazz performance and music education. He currently serves as the Assistant Professor of Jazz Studies at Louisiana State University. As former editor at DownBeat Jim Szantor describes, “Stone is a saxophonist who has learned how to harness his prodigious technique and harmonic acumen to produce solos that are at once creative, sinuous, impassioned and memorable. His technique is prodigious but never gratuitously employed, and his use of high harmonics judicious and electric.” Born out of the time Doug Stone spent in Rochester, NY the album features all players with ties to the Eastman School of Music. Fellow Eastman graduate, bassist Danny Ziemann; respected guitarist and Eastman Faculty member Bob Sneider; and accomplished drummer and Eastman Community School Faculty member, Mike Mellito. The album’s effortless and highly attuned and responsive improvisation is the byproduct of their long shared history of playing together both locally while in Rochester and across the county. Motion is both a figurative and literal testament to the artists drive to continually move forward into the future. The effervescent and melodic music propels the listener forward with each musician’s modern unique voice, while masterfully playing homage to the tradition of be-bop. The album’s compositions reach deep into the straight ahead repertoire bringing you tunes known by many, but not often fully explored. Motion features legendary guitarist, Wes Montgomery’s "Full House" a tune Doug began investigating after collaborating with fellow bandmate Bob Sneider. The song has gone on to become one of the group’s favorites, and what Doug fondly refers to as the group’s “anthem.” Another tune from Motion, Grant Green’s "Jean De Fleur," has bridged the gap between Doug's time in Rochester and his recent move to Baton Rouge and Louisiana State University. When Stanton Moore, a legend in the New Orleans Funk scene, visited LSU he requested "Jean De Fleur" as a standard part of the student’s learning repertoire. Doug enjoyed sharing his version with Stanton and students. Motion beautifully illustrates the musicians’ modern sensibilities while firmly rooted in the jazz tradition. Motion releases on Outside in Music on January 17, 2020. Doug Stone Full Bio: Doug Stone’s career has involved work as a touring musician, primarily with jazz trumpet legend Maynard Ferguson and his band, the Big Bop Nouveau, as well as with the “world-jazz” group Panoramic, and with a number of ensembles from Chicago, Illinois. His time on the road has taken him to virtually every corner of the United States as well as Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, and Canada. As a member of groups at Northern Illinois University, Stone had the opportunity to perform with Frank Foster, Benny Golson, Frank Wess, Jimmy Heath, Rufus Reid, Larry Ridley, and Carl Allen.

2019-2020 MLB Hot Stove Thread
GA Russell replied to JSngry's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
OK, baseball fans. Take a look at this. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28460159/sources-cody-bellinger-reaches-record-115m-deal-dodgers ESPN says that last year Bellinger "batted .305/.406/.629." I'm guessing that means batting average/on base percentage/slugging percentage. Is that right? I haven't seen anyone write it like that before. -
RIP. I had one of his albums called Rischkas (sic) Soul which I enjoyed.

Audrey Ochoa "Frankenhorn" Format(s): Jazz Focus Tracks: "Swamp Castles", "Benchwarming", "Silver Linings" Radio Add Date: Jan 20-21, 2020 Release Date: Jan 24, 2020 via Chronograph Records Unbound by any predisposed ideals around genre or delivery, trombonist Audrey Ochoa has achieved the ideal: presenting meticulously influential compositions with a playful and liberated approach. Classically trained but with a voracious appetite for honing her craft in any genre, Ochoa has shared stages with Hilario Duran, PJ Perry, and Tommy Banks; and with international greats Lew Tebackin, Marcus Miller, Chris Potter and the UNT One O’Clock Lab Band. A rising star in her own right and a fixture of the Canadian music scene, she is decidedly captivating and original, and her compositional skill and talent on her instrument is spectacular. “...here shows a musician with endless confi dence and skill, with varying moods and tempi within a trio that is always in sync.” - (Keith Black, Winnipeg Free Press) Her debut album, “Trombone and Other Delights” (2013), was widely acclaimed and spent 3 consecutive weeks as the number one Jazz album on the Earshot charts. Ochoa’s sophomore release, “Aferthought” (2017), is an extension of her consummate understanding of arrangement and dedication to her craft - leading to a number one position on the Canadian jazz charts and breaking the Top 20 in the U.S. She is a decorated award nominee, having earned recognition at the Western Canadian Music Awards, the Global Music Awards and is a recent recipient of the Edmonton Music Prize, noting an outstanding musical contribution to the local arts scene. With significant education, performances and momentum amassed, Ochoa’s next recorded efforts were originally intended to feature duets with pianist Chris Andrew – which would be remixed by electronica DJ, Battery Poacher. As pre-production progressed, she found herself utilizing skills from other projects and arranging strings with horns and a rhythm section. The result is an ambitious project that introduces strings into her previous configuration of trombone, piano, bass and drums, a mix of chamber music with contemporary and Latin jazz. Focused on unique arrangements and undisputed inspirations, the album features electronic remixes alongside this harmonious combination of genres and ideals. Exhilarating and exuberant, Audrey Ochoa exemplifi es an artist who has dedicated herself to expertise while remaining relevant and light-hearted. With a magnificent and fresh-faced approach, she defies categorization and plants her flag firmly as a centrepiece of the Canadian music arena.

Saxophonist-Composer Benjamin Boone Collaborates with Accra-Based Ghana Jazz Collective On New Album "Joy," Documenting a Relationship Cemented During His Year as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar Boone Follows Inclusion in DownBeat's "Best Albums of 2018" With Music-as-Diplomacy on "Joy," To Be Released March 20 by Origin Records January 9, 2020 Saxophonist-composer Benjamin Boone's The Poetry of Jazz, a visionary collaboration with U.S. Poet Laureate Philip Levine, was praised in leading musical and literary publications, featured on NPR's All Things Considered, and voted the #3 Best Album of 2018 in DownBeat's 83rd annual Readers Poll. Boone documents an equally compelling collaboration, this time from his year as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar in Ghana, on his newest project Joy, set for a March 20th release on Origin Records. This album, the fifth under his own name, places Boone alongside an Accra-based cohort of Ghanaian jazz musicians known as the Ghana Jazz Collective. Tenor saxophonist Bernard Ayisa, pianist Victor Dey Jr., bassist Bright Osei, and drummer Frank Kissi join Boone (with further assistance on some tracks from vocalist Sandra Huson) on four of his originals, a reimagining of the classic "Maiden Voyage," and intriguing covers of two lesser-known jazz compositions. L. to r.: Victor Dey Jr., Frank Kissi, Bright Osei, Benjamin Boone, Bernard Ayisa. Though created in a country some five thousand miles away, Joy is not out of the realm of a traditional jazz album. The polyrhythms that underpin the music are West African in origin, but nonetheless recognizable to fans of funk, R&B, and postmodern jazz. Nobody was more surprised than Boone, who had come to Ghana to study its musical traditions, when he was invited to sit in with the band at Accra's +233 Jazz Bar & Grill. "I was expecting to hear something like Ethiojazz or Hugh Masekela," he recalls, "but these guys know American jazz inside and out, and play the heck out of it -- but with a definite Ghanaian twist." A school seen from the window of the Accra studio where "Joy" was recorded. More to the point, all of the musicians speak the international language of groove. It's as potent on Boone's slithery head-bobber "The 233 Jazz Bar" as it is on his aggressive, shapeshifting "The Intricacies of Alice," or his Hiromi Uehara-inspired "Slam," or his punchy arrangement (with Dey) of Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage." Even the longing ballad "Without You," a feature for Huson, offers the entrancing and danceable beat of an R&B slow jam. "Music and dance are inseparable in Ghana," says Boone. "In traditional music, if you don't know the dance, it is almost impossible to play the music. The grooves are incredibly tight." Nevertheless, distinctly African influences do make themselves known. For example, while the title track "Joy" was written by the late American saxophonist/flutist Gerry Niewood, Boone and Dey's arrangement addresses the melody with West African cadences and emphasizes the interlocking rhythms within its basic waltz pulse. With "Curtain of Light," the band reaches across the continent toward the Ethiopian musical context of composer Jonovan Cooper (who teaches jazz at Addis Ababa University, where Boone was also in residence). Based on an ancient Ethiopian mode, "Curtain of Light" reaches several almost religiously ecstatic climaxes. Where the spirit of Ghana truly manifests, however, is in the camaraderie of its musicians and the palpable joy that fulfills the promise of the album's title. "In Ghana, music is participatory, egoless, and woven into the very fabric of existence," says Boone. "People live with joy and make music with joy." Benjamin Boone has garnered 18 national/international awards and honors for his music, which appears on 28 albums and has been performed in 36 countries at venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. As a Professor at California State University Fresno, he has won the campus's highest awards for teaching, service, and creative activity. In addition to serving as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar to Ghana, Boone served as a U.S. Fulbright Senior Specialist to the Republic of Moldova in 2005. The U.S. Fulbright program seeks to build bridges to peoples across the globe. Taking this role seriously, Boone instigated the "First Annual Ghana National Jazz Workshop Tour," where he and the Ghana Jazz Collective performed and led workshops on improvisation and how jazz is an embodiment of the historic link between the peoples of the U.S. and Ghana. "I saw firsthand the power of music as diplomacy," says Boone. "I hope Joy shines a positive light on Ghana, its historic connection to the U.S., and to the tremendous jazz musicians there. Ghanaians have a love of life, a love of peace, and a culture of welcoming. What a joyous way to live and to make music."
