Jackie Ryan HonorsHer Late Mother with Classicsfrom the Latin American Songbook on "Recuerdos de mi Madre,"Set for October 7 ReleaseBy OpenArt ProductionsVocalist Collaborates on Her 7th AlbumWith Pianist-Trumpeter-Arranger Marco Diaz, Bassist Saul Sierra,Percussionists Carlos Caro & Louie Romero, &A Top-Flight Cadre of Special GuestsLed by Cuban Jazz Legend Paquito D'RiveraCD Release Show at Freight & Salvage, BerkeleyFriday, October 28
August 8, 2022
Having established her mastery of the Great American Songbook, San Francisco Bay Area vocalist Jackie Ryan sets her sights on the Latin American Songbook with Recuerdos de mi Madre, set for an October 7 release on the OpenArt Productions label. The album’s ten tracks are all Spanish-language standards—the backbone of Latin American popular music—performed with a core band that includes pianist/trumpeter Marco Diaz, bassist Saúl Sierra, and percussionists Carlos Caro and Louie Romero. It also features a number of special guests, foremost among them the legendary Cuban clarinetist/saxophonist Paquito D’Rivera.The youngest child of a Mexican-born mother and Irish-American father, Ryan recalls Latin music as the first she heard, and has always included at least one Latin song on each of her albums as a marker of that heritage. “Something happens to me when I sing in Spanish,” Ryan says. “Latino people don’t mind talking about sad things. My aunts and my cousins, their emotions are on their sleeves.”These songs let Ryan channel that same passion. When she incorporated them into her live set, she recalls, “People would come up and say, ‘Do you have a Latin album?’”Recuerdos de mi Madre is the answer to that frequent request. It is also, true to its title (“Memories of My Mother”), a tribute to her late parent who introduced her to the songs she sings here. (Soledad Garcia Ryan passed away when her daughter was 15.)The record bears out Ryan’s belief that singing in Spanish enhances her expressiveness. The emotion she pours into “Noche de Ronda,” “Perfidia” and “Sabor A Mí” is as exquisite as her technique. The songs also provide a spotlight for her marvelous rhythmic chops: She glides along the contours of “Maria Elena” and “Siboney” with great precision and a gorgeous time feel.Ryan is not alone in bringing these songs to life. In addition to playing piano and trumpet (and occasional backing vocals), Diaz serves as the album’s musical director and provides impeccable arrangements for nine of the 10 tracks. The rhythm section of Sierra, Caro, and/or Romero is sensitive, even mesmerizing, and occasional guests Seth Asarnow (bandoneon), Hugo Wainzinger (guitar), Braulio Barrera (cajon), Jeremy Cohen or Carlos Reyes (violin), and Steffen Kuehn (trumpet) add depth and color to whatever they touch.D’Rivera, of course, brings the proceedings to another level. His clarinet playing is surpassingly sweet on “El Día Que Me Quieras” and both lively and ponderous on “Perfidia”; his alto saxophone on “Quizás, Quizás, Quizás” is sly and soulful. “I’ve loved his music for many years,” Ryan says in the liner notes to Recuerdos de mi Madre. “Paquito exudes joy, both musically and personally…. To me, he is music incarnate!”
Born and raised in San Rafael, California, just north of San Francisco, Jackie Ryan spent her childhood listening to the Spanish classical music and Latin American popular songs that her mother played and sang for her. She was 15 years old when she took her first professional singing job in an R&B dance band. After she blew out her voice on the road, she spent two years healing, doing speech therapy and falling in love with jazz.Reinventing herself as a jazz singer, she went back out on the road, spending some time in Hawaii and in Los Angeles as she honed her chops, studied Portuguese, and gained experience with Sergio Mendes’s original rhythm section and Sarah Vaughan’s onetime pianist George Gaffney before returning to the Bay Area in the 1990s.That link with Sarah Vaughan served Ryan in good stead. Her 2001 debut album For Heaven’s Sake featured a trio led by another former Vaughan accompanist, Mike Wofford; her third, 2003’s This Heart of Mine, featured two Vaughan associates in pianist Jon Mayer and drummer Omar Clay. That was only one of Ryan’s many artistic dimensions, however. She also built a multilingual repertoire of songs in English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese, which she demonstrated on 2002’s Passion Flower. The next three records (2007’s You and the Night and the Music, 2009’s DOOZY, and 2012’s Listen Here) confirmed her ability to stand toe-to-toe with legendary figures like Jeff Hamilton, Cyrus Chestnut, and John Clayton, respectively. With 2022’s Recuerdos de mi Madre she brings all those skills to bear in paying a long-imagined tribute to her mother, the first person to nurture her artistry.Jackie Ryan will be performing a CD release show at Freight & Salvage, 2020 Addison Street, Berkeley, on Friday 10/28 at 8pm.Photography: Lisa Tanner
Jackie Ryan: "Siboney"/"Quizás, Quizás, Quizás" -
Bobby BroomCelebrates the Jazz Piano GreatsWith "Keyed Up,"Set for September 23 ReleaseBy Steele RecordsAlbum Features Nine CompositionsBy or For Iconic Pianists,With Piano Player Justin Dillard Augmenting Broom's Longtime Trio withBassist Dennis Carroll & Drummer Kobie WatkinsCD Release Show: Studio5 Performing Arts Center, Evanston, ILSaturday, October 22
August 5, 2022
Master jazz guitarist Bobby Broom casts his ear on the masters of another instrument—the piano—with the September 23 release of Keyed Up (Steele Records). An exploration of compositions by (or associated with) great jazz pianists, the album is also Broom’s first in almost 30 years to itself feature an acoustic piano player. Justin Dillard, a youngish, fast-rising keyboardist from Broom’s home base of Chicago, joins his working trio with bassist Dennis Carroll and drummer Kobie Watkins.In fact, it was an encounter with Dillard at a Chicago jam session that inspired Broom to realize the project (an idea he had long been nurturing). “I heard something intriguing in Justin that made me want to work with him,” he says. “It was a bit risky because I hadn’t played with him in such an intimate and crucial setting before we made this record. But it didn’t take long for me to know I had made the right choice.”It doesn’t take the listener long, either. Dillard’s incandescent playing is a highlight of the very first track, Bud Powell’s “Hallucinations (Budo),” and maintains that high level throughout the album. From the blues-laden lines of James Williams’s “Soulful Bill” and McCoy Tyner’s “Blues on the Corner” to the exquisite tenderness of Erroll Garner’s “Misty,” Dillard earns his place in the spotlight. He also switches to his “laptop Swurlitzer,” an electronic keyboard, in a nod to fusioneers Chick Corea (“Humpty Dumpty”) and Herbie Hancock (“Driftin’”).He’s not alone, of course. Carroll and Watkins are superlative as always, offering both sensitive support and lightning in a bottle that culminates in a spirited exchange of twelves, eights, and fours on “Blues on the Corner.” As for Broom, his excellence is understood—but he outdoes himself with his brilliant work on “Driftin’,” “Hallucinations (Budo),” and Horace Silver’s “Quicksilver.”It’s the joining of these forces, however, that lets magic happen on Keyed Up. “When we make music, we’re never exactly sure how it’s going to turn out. It’s never a matter of ‘we’re just gonna play these tunes,’” Broom says. “In addition to the arrangements and preparation, there’s a great degree of intrigue and mystery in what we do. But we have developed such trust in each other, there’s never any doubt that the end result is going to be good.”
Bobby Broom was born January 18, 1961, in New York City. When he was ten years old, he heard one of his father’s records—by organist Charles Earland—touching off his lifelong love affair with jazz. By the time he was sixteen, Broom was attending New York’s prestigious High School of Music and Art and gigging with pianist Al Haig; by the age of twenty-one, equipped with a freshman year of study at Berklee College of Music, and some already extraordinary pedigree, he began touring with Sonny Rollins.By that time, Broom had also signed with GRP Records and recorded 1981’s Clean Sweep, which was a crossover jazz success. But rather than settle into a comfortable career in the emerging genre of “smooth jazz,” Broom took the road less traveled: He left the New York scene behind and established himself in Chicago.In the 1990s Broom formed the first edition of his bass and drums trio, while also beginning to work with the members of what would eventually become the Deep Blue Organ Trio. During that decade he recorded a couple of quartet records before deciding to make a guitar-bass-drums trio his primary outlet. In 2000, a breakthrough year, he released the statement-making Modern Man (with organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, drummer Idris Muhammad, and Ronnie Cuber on bari sax), as well as the first of what would be many guitar-trio recordings, Stand!. He solidified a trio lineup with bassist Dennis Carroll and drummer Kobie Watkins with 2006’s Song and Dance (although Makaya McCraven filled in for the latter on 2014’s My Shining Hour). After establishing a new organ ensemble (the Organ-isation) with 2018’s Soul Fingers, Broom has returned to his longtime trio, but with the notion of supplementing it with pianist Justin Dillard for Keyed Up.The use of a guitar-and-piano frontline remains somewhat novel in the jazz world, but Broom says overcoming that novelty is just a matter of seasoning. “When I first met Justin, he expressed some misgivings about operating with guitar,” he recalls. “I said to him, just listen and play. And he got better and better playing with me.” Lucky for us that we get to hear the results.Bobby Broom and his quartet will perform a CD release show on Sat. 10/22 at Studio5 Performing Arts Center, 1938 Dempster Street, Evanston, IL. Broom is also appearing at the first annual Fretboard Summit (hosted by Fretboard Journal magazine), taking place at the Old Towne School of Folk Music’s Myron R. Szold Music Hall, Chicago, on Sat. 8/27; and at Western Michigan University’s “Jazz at The Crawlspace 2022” series at the Crawlspace Theater, Kalamazoo, MI, on Thurs. 9/8.Photography: Todd Winters

A general noticed one of his soldiers behaving oddly.
The soldier would pick up any piece of paper he found, frown and say, "That's not it" and put it down again.
This went on for some time until the general arranged to have the soldier psychologically tested.
The psychologist concluded that the soldier was deranged, and wrote out his discharge from the army.
The soldier picked it up, and said, "That's it."

Ben SidranLets His Fingers Do the SingingOn "Swing State,"Set for September 16 ReleaseOn Nardis Records,Distributed by BonsaiVenerable Pianist and Jazzman-of-All-TradesRecords His First All-Instrumental Album with Longtime CollaboratorsBassist Billy Peterson, Drummer Leo SidranCD Release Shows at Crooners, Minneapolis, 8/19-20;Cafe Coda, Madison, WI, 8/23;Neranenah, Atlanta, 8/25;Green Mill, Chicago, 8/26-27
July 25, 2022
Sixty years into a wildly accomplished career that counts music as only the foremost of many aspects, Ben Sidran takes yet another new direction with the September 16 release of Swing State (Bonsai/Nardis). Long known for his lively, bluesy singing style (in the vein of his mentor Mose Allison), the 78-year-old finally gives his vocal cords a rest with an all-instrumental jazz album with Leo Sidran, his son, on drums and Billy Peterson, a co-conspirator of nearly five decades, on bass.If a strictly instrumental album seems to have been a long time coming, Sidran can honestly say that he's been busy with many, many other things. Aside from singing and playing piano, the hats he's worn across the years include academic, rock star, session player, songwriter, record producer, film composer, author, and broadcaster. Let nobody accuse him of being afraid of trying something new.Even so, Sidran acknowledges that he got nervous about putting out a piano record when he considered the competition. "With all the brilliant piano players around," he says, "I never wanted to enter that fray."
The finished product, however, is not a leap into some great unknown. Anyone who knows the boisterous personality, blues roots, and storyteller's polish of Sidran's singing voice will immediately recognize it in his piano voice, too. He need not open his mouth to imbue either the classic swinger "Stompin' at the Savoy" or the ballad "Laura" with his quirky perspective and wry humor. Likewise, his original "Swing State" makes as powerful a rhythmic and melodic statement as Sidran's vocals ever did--without his uttering a syllable.Nor does the lack of vocal work throw off his accompanists, both of whom are more than acquainted with Sidran's sound and persona. "The three of us share a special musical feel," the pianist says. Indeed, Leo Sidran (another multifaceted artist of equal accomplishment to his father) has played drums with Ben practically since he was old enough to reach the kit--and almost as long with Peterson, who's worked with the elder Sidran since before the younger was born.All told, these elements make Swing State less a bold new venture than another very natural extension of Sidran's considerable artistic range. The wait for it only increases the welcome.
Ben Sidran was born August 12, 1943, in Chicago. He grew up in Racine, Wisconsin, but learned jazz through the records that his advertising executive father brought him from work in the Second City. His first love was boogie-woogie, which he taught himself to play on piano--but when he received a Horace Silver album for his bar mitzvah, he knew that that was the direction for him.Attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Sidran befriended future icons of the San Francisco scene Steve Miller and Boz Scaggs, joining them in a blues band called the Ardells. They separated when Sidran traveled to England to earn his master's and doctorate degrees but reunited in 1968 to record what would become the first album by the Steve Miller Band. Sidran would soon enjoy a brief stint as a member, and for several years remain an auxiliary contributor to the band, writing their early hit "Space Cowboy."Meanwhile, Sidran was working on his dissertation (which became the first of his five books); working on sessions with the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and Peter Frampton; and making records of his own, beginning with 1971's Feel Your Groove. He also became a renowned and highly successful producer, collaborating with artists ranging from the Steve Miller Band and Van Morrison to Diana Ross and Mose Allison in addition to producing his own albums. He even became a broadcaster, hosting two award-winning National Public Radio series (Jazz AliveI and Sidran on Record) and the VH1 television program New Visions, which won a Cable Ace Award.Making music remained Sidran's primary passion, however, and his discography has become extensive. Swing State is his 40th release under his own name. He and his trio will celebrate its release with engagements at Crooners, Minneapolis, 8/19-20; Cafe Coda, Madison, WI, 8/23; Neranenah, Atlanta, 8/25; and the Green Mill in Chicago, 8/26-27.Photography: Nathan Fox

Not long ago, I was told that the NAD company specializes in value. I remember a classmate so many years ago raving about an NAD component of his. I think it was a cassette deck. I wish the author would mention brands he likes.
