kh1958 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Posted January 11, 2009 David Newman has cancelled, and the "Texas Tenor" is now Red Holloway. Not much on the horizon, but at least UTD comes through with a jazz concert or two every year: TRIBUTE TO THE TEXAS TENORS Series: Jazz Date: Friday & Saturday, January 30 & 31, 2009 Time: 8:00 p.m. Venue: Conference Center Ticket Prices: $25 each concert, or both for $40 Free to UTD Students with UTD Photo ID at the venue box office the night of the event. Discounts are available to faculty, staff, alumni, retirees and students. Please review our ticket policy or call our box office at 972-883-2552 for details. The School of Arts & Humanities and the City of Richardson join forces to present a high-quality two-day jazz festival, centered on the historical elements of jazz in the Dallas area. The “Texas Tenor” style of saxophone playing describes a player with a very “big” sound playing a somewhat blues-oriented style. Buster Smith is said to have pioneered the style by playing his tenor with a baritone sax reed, thereby giving him a bigger sound. Texas saxophonists associated with the “Texas Tenor Sound” include Buster Smith, David “Fathead” Newman, James Clay, Booker Ervin, John Hardee, King Curtis, Illinois Jacquet, Arnett Cobb and Marchel Ivery. The Woody Herman Orchestra, directed byFrank Tiberi will headline the concert Friday night. The Texas Instruments Jazz Band, directed by Paul Westbrook, will open. On Saturday night, Young Texas Tenor saxophonists from Dallas/Ft. Worth will open for one of Texas’ most famous tenor saxophonists, David “Fathead” Newman, with local sidemen. Quote
kh1958 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Posted January 11, 2009 At Scat Jazz Lounge in Fort Worth: SUN, FEBRUARY 1 8:00 PM Helen Sung Pianist Helen Sung has been called “one of the brightest emerging stars in jazz today.” Her music is described as “marvelously imaginative,” “astonishing;” and her CD Helenistique (Fresh Sound Records) was praised as “…one of the year’s most exciting listens.” (JazzTimes). With a new CD (Sungbird, after Albéniz) on Sunnyside Records and winning the Kennedy Center’s 2007 Mary Lou Williams Piano Competition, good things are happening! This will be a truly magical evening with a great talent making her Scat debut. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 www.epistrophyarts.org Ab Baars Trio & Ken Vandermark Friday April 10 Austin's Historic Victory Grill (1104 E. 11th St.) One of the celebrated players on the Dutch jazz scene, saxophonist Ab Baars is a member of the famed ICP Orchestra. He has collaborated with Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell, George Lewis, Roswell Rudd, Steve Lacy, Sonic Youth and many others. Ab's trio, with bassist Wilbert de Joode and drummer Martin van Duynhoven, has been together for 17 years and has released numerous acclaimed CDs including a new collaboration with saxophonist/clarinetist Ken Vandermark called Goofy June Bug (Wig). A fixture on the Chicago music scene for almost two decades, Vandermark has earned wide critical praise for his past work in bands like NRG Ensemble, the DKV Trio, and Witches and Devils. Currently, the bulk of his work is directed toward the Vandermark 5, the Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet, Sonore and Free Fall. Acknowledged for a huge sound that synthesizes bop, free improv, and blues elements, Vandermark is a recipient of the prestigious MacArthur "genius" Award. Peter Brötzmann, Nasheet Waits, Eric Revis Trio Thursday April 30 Austin's Historic Victory Grill (1104 E. 11th St.) German saxophone titan Peter Brötzmann is a pioneer of the European avant-garde. For this group's first North American tour he will be joined by 2 of the finest players on the contemporary scene. Peter Brötzmann's sound is one of the most distinctive, life-affirming and joyous in all music. "The huge, screaming sound he makes is among the most exhilarating things in the music," writes Brian Morton, Nasheet Waits is a musician who has an intuitive understanding of the complex rhythmic requirements of modern drumming. His interest in playing the drums was encouraged by his father, legendary percussionist Frederick Waits. Besides experience with various bands led by Andrew Hill, Waits is a member of Jason Moran's Bandwagon and Fred Hersch's trio, and Richard Cook calls the young drummer "... a terse, unflappable player who sounds remarkably mature and seasoned. Waits has the dark, copper-bottomed sound of his creative ancestors." San Antonio bassist Eric Revis is one of the most in-demand bassists in the contemporary scene and has played extensively in the ensembles of Branford Marsalis and Jeff 'Tain' Watts. Ted Panken of Down Beat writes, "Revis has a huge sound, unshakable rhythmic confidence and a penchant for cohesive, logical basslines." These are prime cuts. Also pianist Burton Greene will be playing duos with clarinetist Perry Robinson for two nights, April 23 and 24th. Details to follow as soon as I get more of them. Quote

Soul Stream Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) Just an FYI.... I was playing at a place here in Austin called The Continental Gallery on South Congress several nights a week until the city closed it down almost a year ago. Well, last weekend we opened it back up, this time for good. My organ trio plays there Friday thru Sunday night from 10 til 2.... and Wednesday evenings 8 to 10. (Nice to have a place to keep the B and leave it again!). Fridays and Saturdays are basically funk nights, while Sundays are jazz. I'm gonna do Wednesday evenings there with a bass player and sax added...doing some early 70's organ stuff that had electric bass (stuff I always dug but couldn't really do playing organ bass...like later Groove Holmes, Johnny Hammond Smith...that stuff). Here's a link to my myspace page in case you ever want to check my calender..., but I'm always there for those days mentioned above... www.myspace.com/mikeflanigintrio Edited March 10, 2009 by Soul Stream Quote

Soul Stream Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks a lot Free! Love to see you...bring the horn! And yeah...Bill Frisell is playing downstairs at the Continental Sunday 8 to 10...I'm upstairs at the Continental Gallery that same night from 10-2. Pretty good odds Bill might come up and hang out for a while after his show with the Owner, since they're good friends. Quote

How were the shows, Mike? I would have loved to have been there - I was in Austin on Friday, but had family commitments. They were really, really a blast. The Gallery only holds 49 people...so it was like having Jimmie Vaughan play in your living room. Sounded great too...organ, drums, guitar and tenor...It's got great acoustics up there so people were blown away to be that close and hear him in that environment. Greg Piccolo from Roomful of Blues played sax, and that was my first time playing with him...man, too much fun! We'll do it again soon and I'll let you know Quote
Shawn Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 I'll be coming to check out your band in the near future...as soon as my hearing returns from SXSW. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks for the update, SS - we'd been wanting to check you out but hadn't seen a gig listed in a while. Quote
