Jerome Jennings Reintroduces Himself as a Composer On "Solidarity," To Be Released November 8 on Iola Records Acclaimed Drummer's Second Album Addresses Social Justice Through Seven Originals, Four Self-Written Arrangements With a Unit Featuring Bassist Christian McBride, Trumpeter Josh Evans, Saxophonist Stacy Dillard, Trombonist Andrae Murchison, Pianist Zaccai Curtis, & Special Guests Residency at Peabody Institute, Baltimore, 10/31-11/1; CD Release Shows at Sistas' Place, Brooklyn, 11/2, & Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, NYC, 11/12 October 7, 2019 Drummer-composer-educator Jerome Jennings puts the spotlight on his writing chops for Solidarity, his rousing second album as a leader, set for a November 8 release on his own Iola Records. Featuring as its core unit trumpeter Josh Evans, tenor and soprano saxophonist Stacy Dillard, trombonist Andrae Murchison, pianist Zaccai Curtis, and Jennings's friend and mentor, legendary bassist Christian McBride (along with special guests, including saxophonist-flutist Tia Fuller, tenor saxophonist-vocalist Camille Thurman, bassist Endea Owens,and percussionist Carlos Maldonado), the album also features seven original compositions and four covers with fiercely inventive new arrangements. As its title implies, Solidarity is deeply concerned with the state of political and social justice in the United States on the cusp of the 2020s. It particularly focuses on the experiences of African American women, examining them through the prisms of the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements, among others. "Black women have traditionally been the conscience of the country," Jennings explains. "Solidarity means...being present, not walking away. Being an ally, in a very overt way. 'I got you. I hear you. I'm with you.'" Indeed, most of Jennings's originals place him in solidarity with specific individuals. Heroic women from intersectional feminist philosopher Audre Lorde ("Theory of Difference") to sharecropper and defiant self-advocate Recy Taylor ("Recy's Lament") to transgender activist Marsha P. Johnson ("Pay It No Mind") are the subjects of his compositional tributes. On "Convo with Senator Flowers," the drummer makes himself almost literally present; he provides solo accompaniment to the outspoken Arkansas State Senator's viral speech against open-carry laws in her state. That said, Jennings also considers the cover songs on Solidarity to be within social-justice parameters. His hip-hop-laced arrangements of Dizzy Gillespie's "Bebop" recalls that the titular music had revolutionary implications of its own. Meanwhile, pieces like the R&B/pop classic "I Love Your Smile" (featuring Fuller on alto and flute and Thurman on vocal) are less about revolution than recreation. But they're not frivolous: "People who are oppressed also need a space where they can smile, laugh, and have a good time," Jennings observes. "That's part of resistance as well." Jerome Jennings was born in October 28, 1980 in Cleveland, Ohio, and began playing drums at age ten when he saw Sheila E. perform on the Arsenio Hall Show. After studying the instrument through high school, Jennings enrolled at Ohio State University as a jazz studies major, then transferred to Rutgers University in New Jersey, where he studied with Ralph Peterson and Victor Lewis. Jennings also hit the scene in nearby New York City, where he impressed people with both his technical skills and his wholehearted commitment. "I always treat every gig as if I'm playing at the Vanguard," he explains. He was soon working with Sonny Rollins, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Christian McBride, who eventually invited Jennings to join his celebrated trio. While working toward his master's degree at the Juilliard School, Jennings became the first ever jazz student to receive the Morse Fellowship, an elite program that fosters teaching artists by creating residency programs for them in New York City schools. The program lent him not only prestige, but a love of teaching; in 2017, Jennings returned to his alma mater to accept the position of Resident Director of the Juilliard Jazz Orchestra. In the meantime, his freelance credits grew steadily. It was while working with McBride that Jennings began to formulate a leadership concept of his own. The bassist joined him for the recording of The Beast, Jennings's 2016 debut, which was nominated that year for France's highly coveted Grand Prix du Disque. Jerome Jennings will serve as a featured artist in residence at the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University, 1 E. Mt. Vernon Pl., Baltimore, on Thursday 10/31 and Friday 11/1. He will perform CD release concerts at Sistas' Place, Brooklyn, on Saturday 11/2, and at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, NYC, on Tuesday 11/12. Personnel for the Dizzy's show includes Zaccai Curtis, p; Devin Starks, b; Paula Winter, perc; Josh Evans, tpt; Andrae Murchison, tb; Stacy Dillard, ts/ss; Jorge Castro, ts/fl; and Melanie Charles, voc/fl.

Anonymous - Remember me, my dear 05:13 Garbarek blends with the vocal lines – sung captivatingly by the Hilliards – like a fifth voice. With restraint and the greatest of control he wanders and floats through the spaces created by the singers…The early music is not just given a modern sheen. Garbarek explores a space from the inside, but with a sound whose hymnic character and pathos cannot be denied. The music raises the question of what is old and what is new. Peter Rüedi, Die Weltwoche 25 years on from the release of Officium, the groundbreaking alliance of Jan Garbarek and The Hilliard Ensemble, comes a live album from their unforgettable final tour. Remember me, my dear, named for the Scottish ballad which concludes the concert, was recorded in October 2014 at Chiesa della Collegiata dei Santi Pietro e Stefano in Bellinzona, in the Ticino canton of Switzerland. The album embodies all the special attributes of this unique alliance between the Norwegian saxophonist and the British vocal ensemble. The musicians were first brought together by producer Manfred Eicher and “something came into existence that was not there before”, in the words of Jan Garbarek. Officium, the debut album, was released in 1994 and the music touched a large international audience. A million copies of Officium were sold swiftly, and a thousand concerts - many in churches, abbeys and other sacred spaces - followed over a 20-year period. And there were further recordings, the double album Mnemosyne (1998) and Officium Novum (2009). The repertoire of Remember Me is drawn from all three albums and adds a new piece, “Procurans odium”, a medieval song preserved at the Bavarian monastery of Benediktbeuern. All of the music is transformed by the live context, by the subtlety of the singers, and the improvisational daring of Jan Garbarek. “He can pick up on anything, and his ears are phenomenal,” David James has said. “The slightest nuance, he’ll play into it and feed something back – it’s just so thrilling to perform with him.” Jan Garbarek, near the beginning of the association: “I’ve loved medieval music for years. The old music is very familiar to me, for it uses modes which you find in folk music and jazz. I find it completely natural to join in with it, and it has since broadened my whole perspective of playing.” The range of music addressed expanded as the Officium project developed. Remember Me, My Dear begins with an Armenian traditional piece in an arrangement by Komitas. There is also contemporary music, including Arvo Pärt’s “Most Holy Mother of God”, and two Garbarek compositions: “We are the stars”, based upon Native American poetry, and “Allting finns”, a particularly beautiful setting of a poem by Swedish author Pär Lagerkvist. On the present recording it segues into the Litany of Russian composer Nikolai Kedrov, whose music spanned the 19th and 20th centuries, integrated here alongside 12th century music of Hildegard von Bingen, 13th century music of Pérotin, and more. In the playing of Garbarek and the singing of the Hilliards, time is dissolved in the resonant performance space. “Hard, smooth stone surfaces and an abundance of air were the properties we sought,” wrote Jan Garbarek in a program note. When these were available, “the concerts were bliss. Flowing so easily, the sonority of the voices hovering harmoniously under every arch and vault, filling every corner of splendent space. Sax roaming freely above, below inside the vocal texture, a soaring sum of parts…” The Bellinzona concert, two months from the final show, bears out this description. The retirement of the Hilliard Ensemble, after a forty-year career, also brought the Officium collaboration to an end. The last Officium performance was at King’s College Chapel, Cambridge, in December 2014. The outstanding recordings remain, the Officium-Mnemosyne-Officium Novum cycle now augmented by Remember Me, My Dear. The Hilliards can also be heard on a further 40 ECM titles, singing everything from Tallis and Gesualdo to Arvo Pärt and Gavin Bryars. Jan Garbarek is of course one of ECM’s primary artists, first recording for the label in 1970 with Afric Pepperbird and subsequently appearing on dozens of albums as leader, co-leader, and featured soloist with composers including Eleni Karaindrou and Giya Kancheli. CD booklet, in English and German, includes a performer’s note by Gordon Jones, and liner notes by Paul Griffiths and Steve Lake.

The Phantom was my first Duke Pearson album. I liked half the tracks very much, but not the other half. So I recorded what I liked onto my newfangled Ampex cassette recorder, and listened to it quite a bit.

ECM Jan Garbarek / Hilliard Ensemble - Remember me, my dear release date: October 18, 2019 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.

Jim, I'm very surprised to see you say that. I highly respect bandleaders who hire people who are better than they are. For example, Herbie Mann in the late '60s. Spencer Davis in the mid-'60s. How about Miles with his first great quintet, his second great quintet and his lost quintet? Even Dave Clark!

Here's something I didn't know. Wade Boggs played in 162 games from June 9, 1985, to June 6, 1986; and batted .401!
