Nick Papadakis "Rain Sometimes" Impacting: October 23 2019 Format(s): Jazz, Smooth Jazz Bubba Jackson KJAZZ 88.1 FM - "You need to listen to this, it's different it's unique and Nick has something you're not going to find anywhere else, listen to that voice." Just happened to be sippin’ on a “preferred” drink while enjoying a Cuban Cigar on the patio of a swanky lounge when they played Nick Papadakis’ “Rain Sometimes” through the crystal clear speakers…unbelievable…you have to try it to understand! …Understand, I made my name being the force behind Hip Hop on the Radio and created the First Ever Rap Radio Station 1580 KDAY in Los Angeles which went on to become a format known as CHR/Rhythmic…Blessed with being somewhat of a “visionary”, having launched some of the biggest names in Rap, from Dr Dre to Will Smith to Queen Latifah to LL Cool J and I could go on for a few paragraphs…hearing Nick as I’ll call him, made me reminisce about the first time I heard many of those groups…like you’d discovered something new and wanted to share it with the world! I had to meet him and was determined to do so to tell him how I thought he was a visionary…not for the future but having the vision to bring back the past in a futuristic way…I was more than surprised! Nick played me songs that included elements of pop, jazz, and R&B together. He had a new, current relevance and appeal with his signature voice on top of the greatest songs ever written. He had this, “make you feel like part of the family” personality, Nick started telling me about his love of music beginning as a child, that his dad would bring him Sinatras’ music, he was very specific about it being the first one that was on Capitol Records, Nick said at that moment he knew what his destined career path would become. He told me he took that dream and pursued it via extensive vocal and acting lessons from the best L.A. could offer and formed a band that has performed all over Southern California while developing his Craft. Having discovered some of the biggest names in music, I always know when you look in an artists eyes and see the passion, the desire, and the drive that will take them all the way. For me, his music was a getaway and I asked him if I could write his bio, so here you go! Hopefully you’ll discover what I already have and allow your listeners to enjoy their “preferred” whatever!

I began to play the album on Thursday and will continue to promote. There are some amazingly technically perfect songs like “Nashville” and “Railroad Track.” I chose, however, “Mood for Love” to lead off with as it has the same underlying audiological draw for me as “Greatest Player.” You sound more relaxed and certain of your incredible talent on this latest work. Having said that- the same characteristic vocals and same smoking hot lead and sax are working their magic here, just as on the first release. From a strictly radio standpoint- give me 50 albums a month like this and I’ll be quite satisfied, indeed." -Gerry Sorensen WAAY Radio (Ohio, USA) "Road to You song reminds me of my time on the road. All the while missing my fiance. She said yes. She is my wife now. I can never be far from her.

Jan Garbarek / Hilliard Ensemble Remember me, my dear Jan Garbarek soprano and tenor saxophones The Hilliard Ensemble (David James countertenor; Rogers Covey-Crump tenor; Steven Harrold tenor; Gordon Jones baritone) 25 years on from the release of Officium, the groundbreaking alliance of Jan Garbarek and The Hilliard Ensemble, comes Remember me, my dear, recorded during the final tour the group made in October 2014. The program is emblematic of the range of repertoire the Norwegian saxophonist and British vocal quartet explored together– from Pérotin, Hildegard von Bingen, Guillaume le Rouge, Antoine Brumel to Komitas, Arvo Pärt and more. It could be said that the Hilliard/Garbarek combination, in concert, transcended its source materials, with early music, contemporary composition and improvisation interfused in the responsive acoustics of sacred spaces. And this final album reminds us that the unique Garbarek/Hilliard combination, and its unprecedented exploration of sound, was consistently breathtaking. LISTEN Thomas Zehetmair Sei Solo Johann Sebastian Bach: The Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Solo Thomas Zehetmair baroque violin Thomas Zehetmair, one of the great violinists of our time, re-visits the solo works of Bach, the summit of the violin repertory. Using period instruments, Zehetmair plays the music with vividness and intelligence to produce a recording that is deeply steeped in the music and at the same time original. The album was recorded at Propstei St. Gerold and is issued as a double CD with texts by Peter Gülke and Thomas Zehetmair. LISTEN © 2019 ECM Records US, A Division of Verve Music Group.

Pianist Roberta Piket Showcases the Composing Talents of Husband & Collaborator Billy Mintz on "Domestic Harmony: Piket Plays Mintz," Set for December 6 Release By Thirteenth Note Records Piket's Third Solo Piano Album Features 10 Compositions by the Acclaimed Drummer In an Intimate Performance Originally Meant Only for Mintz's Ears Appearing at Mezzrow, NYC, Thursday, January 16 Playing Billy Mintz Tunes with Several Duos Including Virginia Mayhew, Mike Fahn, & Mintz October 21, 2019 Pianist Roberta Piket presents a truly intimate musical offering with the December 6 release of Domestic Harmony: Piket Plays Mintz on her own Thirteenth Note Records. A solo piano performance (her third, following 2012's Solo and 2015's Solo Volume 2), the album assays ten intriguing compositions by Billy Mintz, the highly regarded drummer who regularly collaborates with Piket -- and who is also her husband. The intimacy on display throughout Domestic Harmony is authentic: it was intended for an audience of one. Piket originally conceived the album a few years ago as a birthday surprise for Mintz. (She allows that it was "a milestone year" for the intensely private Mintz but declines to say which.) She arranged to record it while he was on tour, completed the editing later, and successfully surprised and delighted him when the big day came. "It was just something I was doing for Billy, and not for anybody else," says Piket. "It was only later that I started to think about putting it out." It's a beautiful glimpse of art at its most direct. Every nuance of Piket's lustrous touch, chord voicings, and improvisational energy -- and, on "Destiny," her tender, haunting vocal -- radiates with warmth and fondness for its recipient. Of course, the recipient in question also played no small part in the creation of this music. "[Billy] has a very personal voice," says Piket. "He has a natural talent for looking at the big picture and going beyond just his instrument.... He writes in a very simple, direct way that's incredibly appealing." He has been honored before by musicians performing his compositions, including saxophonist Adam Kolker, pianist Russ Lossing, and Piket herself, who has previously recorded a few of the tunes on Domestic Harmony. The context, however, transforms Piket's interpretations of them into something more personal and frank. If "Destiny," with Piket's vocal, is pointed in its expression, her thoughtful piano playing on "Ghost Sanctuary," "Flight," and "Your Touch" is no less so without it. As well, it's difficult to imagine a more perfect balance of affection with the inherent playfulness in "Shmear" and "Cannonball," both of which (uncoincidentally) feature some of the pianist's most assured and inventive improvisational work. Her unique birthday gift for her husband is now their shared gift to the world. Roberta Piket was born in New York City on August 9, 1965 to a father who was a classical composer father and a mother who was a traditional pop singer. Needless to say, it was a musical household, made more so when at 14 young Roberta stumbled across a secondhand copy of Walter Bishop Jr.'s Speak Low at a synagogue bazaar. It began her journey into jazz piano. Completing a joint double-degree program at New England Conservatory (in piano) and nearby Tufts University (in computer science), Piket first spent an unfulfilling year in software engineering before deciding that music was her true calling. She returned to New York in 1989 and began building a career and a reputation as a pianist. Within a few years she had established relationships with Marian McPartland (appearing on her National Public Radio program Piano Jazz) and Lionel Hampton (who provided her with her first professional recording session on his 1995 For the Love of Music). Piket has since established herself as an adventurous and versatile pianist, ready and able to try anything. Her albums (of which Domestic Harmony is the 13th) and performance projects have ranged from straight ahead to free jazz, from solo piano to big band, from chamber jazz ensemble with string quartet to the electric Alternating Current, and any number of other adventures as both leader and sidewoman. In addition, she maintains a working trio with Mintz, in which she has also begun to feature herself more prominently as a vocalist. In the 2018 Down Beat Critics' Poll, Piket was voted Rising Star in the Organist category and placed 16th in Rising Star Piano, while in the publication's 2018 Readers' Poll she placed 8th in the Jazz Artist category, 7th in Piano, and 5th in Organ. Billy Mintz and Roberta Piket Piket will be performing Billy Mintz's music with several duos -- including saxophonist Virginia Mayhew, valve trombonist Mike Fahn, and Mintz himself -- at Mezzrow, NYC, on Thursday 1/16/20. Other upcoming shows: the Roberta Piket Sextet celebrates the music of Marian McPartland, with special guest Karrin Allyson, at Flushing Town Hall, Friday 12/6; a set of duos with Virginia Mayhew at Maureen's Jazz Cellar, Nyack, NY, Sunday 12/15; the Roberta Piket Organ Trio plays the music of Billy Mintz (featuring tenor saxophonists Tony Malaby and John Gross with Mintz on drums) at Quinn's, Beacon, NY, Monday 5/4/20.

Fifty Years of Edition of Contemporary Music Since 1969 ECM has treated music production as a fine art. Manfred Eicher, the head of ECM, has always followed his intuition in finding and combining musicians, kindling new ideas, sculpting sound, and breaking musical ground. The record label in Munich has long provided a unique forum for improvised and notated music. In 2019 it embodies half a century of continuous endeavour and staunch independence. Few industries have undergone such fundamental change over the years as the music business. Against this background, ECM’s quiet pursuit of a self-defined goal seems increasingly like an act of resistance. For if ‘contemporary’ still means ‘of our own time’, it also means standing up for timeless values, and embracing the present while also rejecting its constraints. By now, the ECM catalogue has over 1600 titles, including global successes such as Keith Jarrett’s Köln Concert and The Melody At Night, With You, Pat Metheny’s Offramp, Chick Corea’s Return to Forever, and Officium with Jan Garbarek and the Hilliard Ensemble. Although ECM albums have now been available on streaming services since 2017, for Manfred Eicher the CD and the LP remain the preferred media for his work. It is only the album, with its finely-calibrated musical dramaturgy, that allows the listener to complete the journey into the ‘audible landscapes’ that have made the label famous. Even today, each ECM release is conceived as a Gesamtkunstwerk – a fully integrated aesthetic experience, with music, sound design, and artwork. While the historic achievements of ECM have been celebrated in major exhibitions, and Manfred Eicher has received numerous honours, such as his admission into the highly prestigious band of Honorary Fellows of the Royal Academy of Music in London, the label is not resting on its laurels. Alongside the much-acclaimed 21-CD box set (2018) with the Art Ensemble of Chicago and associated ensembles, ECM continues to give new impulses to creative music. These have recently included a spotlight on Israeli jazz musicians, with albums by trumpeter Avishai Cohen and pianists Shai Maestro and Yonathan Avishai. Remarkable releases on ECM New Series have latterly included the 3-CD box set (2017) with all of György Kurtág’s works for ensemble and choir, and Anja Lechner and Pablo Márquez’s revelatory transcriptions of Schubert for cello and guitar (Die Nacht, 2018). The special qualities of what began as a small cultural enterprise were soon recognised. In 1972, in its first article on ECM, Der Spiegel ran a report on a twenty-nine-year-old ‘loner’ in Munich who was increasingly of interest to high-profile musicians in the United States. According to Der Spiegel, this was because ECM was now releasing the ‘best jazz recordings’ – ‘the gold standard for sound, presence and pressing’. At that point, the Munich label had only been in existence for two-and-a-half years. Manfred Eicher, born in Lindau, Germany, had studied double bass in Berlin. Having soon discovered his love for the music of artists such as Bill Evans, Paul Bley, Miles Davis and his bassist Paul Chambers, he became intensely preoccupied with jazz. As a production assistant at Deutsche Grammophon he had learnt what it was to strive for the highest standards in recordings of classical music. And he now started to record improvised music with the same precision and focus. Almost as a statement of intent, the first title issued by the new label was Free at Last, by the US pianist Mal Waldron. Pioneering recordings of artists such as Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek, Chick Corea, Paul Bley, Egberto Gismonti and Pat Metheny established ECM’s reputation as a label to be reckoned with. By the late 1970s names such as Meredith Monk and Steve Reich regularly appeared in the ECM catalogue, and in 1984 the company introduced its New Series, dedicated to notated music. Launched to showcase the music of Arvo Pärt with Tabula Rasa, the New Series now ranges all the way from organa composed by Pérotin in Paris in 1200 through to contemporary composition. Pärt, and subsequently Giya Kancheli, Valentin Silvestrov and Tigran Mansurian, was introduced to new audiences in the West by ECM’s New Series; for many years now György Kurtág and Heinz Holliger have released important works on the Munich label. Artists such as the Hilliard Ensemble, Kim Kashkashian, Gidon Kremer, the Danish String Quartet and András Schiff have presented listeners with outstanding performances of core classical repertoire but have also introduced them to exciting new discoveries. Both series – ECM and ECM New Series – have emphasised multi-genre or transcultural projects – from recordings by the improvising trio Codona - with Don Cherry, Collin Walcott and Nana Vasconcelos - to Officium, which brought Jan Garbarek and the Hilliards together, and François Couturier’s Tarkovsky Quartet. ECM is regarded today as ‘the most important imprint in the world for jazz and new music’, to quote the British newspaper, the Independent. While the form and constancy of notated music have also found their way into improvisation, inspired interpretations of existing compositions convey a tangible sense of risk, spontaneity and improvisatory freedom. The British music critic and writer Paul Griffiths aptly pinpointed the unique status of ECM, describing it as ‘almost a musical genre in its own right – a genre with blurred boundaries but a definite centre, in some place where music is prized wherever it comes from, some time when nothing has yet quite happened finally, when even a recording – seemingly the end of the process – can show its value in opening a question, or more than one.’ From early on the model of a literary publishing house was an inspiration for the label. Many of the musicians who recorded their debut albums with ECM in their mid-twenties have kept faith with the label ever since. As Manfred Eicher once said in an interview, ‘Our work is based on the notion of permanence.’ In addition Eicher feels that ‘it is important that relationships also develop between the company’s artists; that’s good for their creative work’. As a record producer, he is a partner in the artistic process, involved in everything from the choice of recording venue to the musical shaping of the album to the cover design for the finished product. And on the subject of cover designs: ECM record sleeves, much admired and much imitated, have made design history, and the Swiss publisher Lars Müller Verlag has devoted two books to ECM’s cover art. ECM recordings are often described as having a transparent sound that is rich in overtones. But there is no one-size-fits-all ‘ECM sound’. Each recording is attuned to the sound of the players and singers, not vice versa. ‘Of course we take every possible care with the technology’, as Manfred Eicher has said, ‘But the deciding factor is always the music and the aesthetic ideas that go with it. That is what gives the sound its characteristics. The vessel is always shaped to fit its contents.’ A specific location is selected for each new project – a place with the right acoustics and atmosphere, be it in Oslo, New York, Lugano or in the South of France, be it a radio studio in Zurich or the chapel of the idyllic St. Gerold Priory in the Austrian mountains. The ECM head office on the outskirts of Munich with a workforce of barely a dozen relies on a longstanding international distribution network, with major companies covering the main markets and smaller, independent firms operating in other key territories. Annual production numbers at ECM are still rising – despite this being a time when the record industry is having to cope with ongoing structural crises. Manfred Eicher takes the long view: ‘Every decade – for fifty years now – we have supposedly been faced with a “huge crisis”. The oil crisis in the early 1970s seemed to herald the death of vinyl; today there is talk of the end of physical records and CDs alike. So it is all the more crucial that we record the best artists of our time in optimal conditions, seriously and with integrity. Economic issues will be resolved somehow. Art and music are and will always be a fundamental need in society.’ The special qualities of what began as a small cultural enterprise were soon recognised.

Since then, Eicher has continued to helm the label, personally producing the majority of the now 1600+ recordings in the catalog. His steadfast vision has cemented the label’s place in history as having “helped shape the way we listen to jazz and contemporary classical music.” (Giovanni Russonello, New York Times) Eicher is a hands-on producer, deeply involved in the music, as ECM artists attest in describing their experiences here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeoXLzIeUXA&feature=youtu.be ECM’s anniversary has been celebrated around the world this year, and continues in the US with two major bi-coastal events presented by SF Jazz and Jazz at Lincoln Center: October 24-27 at SF Jazz: https://www.sfjazz.org/calendar/?month=10.2019&series=25222 November 1-2 at JALC’s Rose Theater: https://www.jazz.org/events/t-9056/ECM-Records-at-50/

Artist Title Time Joel Harrison Raindrops in Uncommon Times 09:51 Joel Harrison One is Really Many 06:59 Joel Harrison Ballad of Blue Mountain 05:56 Joel Harrison Permanent Impermanence 05:17 Joel Harrison Creator Destroyer 12:48 Joel Harrison Blue Mountain (Slight Return) 07:36 Joel Harrison "Still Point: Turning World" Impacting: October 17 2019 Format(s): Jazz To enter the immersive realm of Still Point: Turning World is to join guitarist/composer Joel Harrison and colleagues in embracing the gloriously enlightening globalization of music, unhindered by category or preconception. This original eight-movement work brings together contemporary percussion quartet Talujon (Matt Ward, Michael Lipsey, Tom Kolor, David Cossin), Indian sarode player Anupam Shobhakar, and jazz musicians Hans Glawaschnig (bass), Ben Wendel (saxophone/bassoon) and Dan Weiss (drums/tabla) to realise the guitarist’s striking, kaleidoscopic vision. Guests include V. Selvaganesh (perc.), Nittin Mitta (tabla), and Stephan Crump (bass). Dive into ‘Raindrops in Uncommon Times' and you’re transported along marimba and tabla-hued tributaries as guitar, sarode, sax, and konnakol improvisations coruscate across its rippling shadows; and in ‘One is Really Many’, the excitement of Shobhakar’s complex Indian raga patterns are matched by Weiss’s intense, fiery drumming. Harrison’s gritty, wailing guitar phrases and Wendel’s extraordinary wailing saxophone color ‘Permanent Impermanence’, leading on to mystically percussive interlude ‘Wind Over Eagle Lake’ and ‘Ballad of Blue Mountain’s W. African-derived rivulets. Furtive ‘Time Present Time Past’ crackles with cross- rhythms and stratified riffs; epic ‘Creator/Destroyer’ explodes with multiple solos and an extraordinary percussion intro; and the relative calm of closing ‘Blue Mountain (A Slight Return)’ is ramped up by mesmeric tabla and kanjira, featuring the exquisite Selvaganesh, who is best known for playing with John McLaughlin in Remember Shakti. Careful listening shows linked themes that binds the work together. The concept of Still Point: Turning World is to take the listener on a soulful journey”, confirms Harrison. “The aim is to go deeply into quiet, private introverted spaces, and then also into passionate explosions of percussive wildness.” This is, indeed, a genre-busting odyssey of discovery.

Terri Lyne Carrington and Social Science "Trapped in the American Dream" ft. Kassa Overall "...her most overt statement on contemporary life in [America]...a giant leap forward into narrative creation [with] an incredible cast of characters." - AFROPUNK Galvanized by seismic changes in the ever-evolving social and political landscape, Terri Lyne Carrington and Social Science confront a wide spectrum of social justice issues on their upcoming album 'Waiting Game' (11.8.19). As thought-provoking and artistically evocative as it is musically exhilarating, 'Waiting Game' immediately takes its place in the stirring lineage of politically conscious and activist music, expressing an unflinching, inclusive and compassionate view of humanity’s breaks and bonds through an eclectic program melding jazz, R&B, indie rock, contemporary improvisation, and hip-hop. The new single, "Trapped in the American Dream" featuring Kassa Overall, addresses mass incarceration - literal and figurative; physical and psychological. Social Science is: TERRI LYNE CARRINGTON (drums, percussion, vocals), AARON PARKS (piano, keyboards), MATTHEW STEVENS (guitars), MORGAN GUERIN (saxophone, bass, EWI), DEBO RAY (vocals), KASSA OVERALL (MC, DJ) TOUR DATES: 10/10 Sesc Pompeia, Sao Paulo, Brazil 11/16 London Jazz Festival 11/30 LPR (Album Release Event), NYC

Guys, my OP was not about Twitter. My concern is about computers. It is a fact that I don't know what I don't know. I also don't know the lingo. I like the idea of buying the textbook the community college uses. I'll investigate that. Thanks!

I received my glasses in less than two weeks. Functionally, I'm quite satisfied. They are very comfortable, and the prescription is good. However, as a fashion accessory, I feel they are too small for my face. Next time I will order a larger size if I can. Thanks for your comments!
