JAZZ по-русскиBenny Benack III • This Is the Life (Live) © 2025 Bandstand Presents #vocaljazzThis is the Life - Это жизнь - концертный альбом, записанный в джаз-клубе Blue Llama в Энн-Арборе, штат Мичиган, США. Главный на сцене трубач-вокалист-композитор Бенни Бенак III и его команда: пианист Матис Пикард, басист Рассел Холл и барабанщик Джо Пери. Общее впечатление этого концерта радует и напоминает времена Дяди Сачмо, когда он не только играл на трубе и пел, но и веселил публику своими шутками-прибаутками.Третий в поколении известных джазовых музыкантов Питтсбурга, Бенни следует по стопам своего дедушки, трубача и руководителя оркестра Бенни Бенака-старшего, отца, саксофониста и кларнетиста Бенни Бенака-младшего, и матери Клаудии Бенак, профессора вокала в Университете Карнеги-Меллона. Это очень коротко о том, что это не просто новый джазмен, а музыкант впитавший опыт предков практически с самого начала джаза. Более подробно о нем читайте на его сайте - https://www.bennybenackjazz.comОригинальная песня Song For Our Roger посвящена барабанщику из Питтсбурга Роджеру Хамфрису, который записал с Хорасом Сильвером классическую песню для моего отца - Song for My Father. Песня чтит его питтсбургские корни и показывает его отца в лирическом теноровом соло. Интересно, что этот трек и Some Enchanted Evening являются двумя студийными треками, отсюда и отсутствие аплодисментов.Старший Бенак возвращается для вдохновенного соло на кларнете в When You’re Smiling - Когда ты улыбаешься. В этой композиции также великолепно звучит скет, в очень эмоциональной форме. Эту композицию я добавлю в мой плейлист, как лучшую на этом альбоме. Так же, прекрасный скет, заигрывание с публикой и замечательное настроение радуют зрителей в треке Without a Love (Outro Vamp), которая звучит перед замечательной концовкой альбома Everybody (Backstreet’s Back). Надеюсь вы уже догадались от куда взялась эта попса в джазовой обработке?Sugar & Spice - Сахар и специи - еще одна оригинальная композиция с впечатляющими унисонными линиями от лидера и его отца, который делает потрясающее соло, за которым следует блестящее соло на трубе в этой полностью инструментальной пьесе. И сегодня я сделаю небольшое отступление - поставлю для вас концовку моего подкаста немного подлиннее, чем обычно. Что бы вы могли послушать замечательное соло на конрабасе, именно с этой композиции.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1799071439Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 8 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor#vocaljazz

Девять плюс девять композиций. Три оригинала лидера (один попадает в мой плейлист, как лучший трек альбома) и разные исполнения джазовых тем - стандартов.Вторая фишка это разнообразие инструментов и музыкантов. Лидер играет на пианино и органе. Сразу замечу, что на органе очень хорошо он отрабатывает басовые ноты. Есть треки где орган и контрабас играют совместно свои партии. Кроме барабанов, есть перкуссионисты и конги. Кроме традиционного саксофона и тромбона, есть гитара и она зажигает не только блюз, но порой и #bebop В основном это мейн-стримовый джаз, который я обозначаю просто #jazz Очень порадовали медленные композиции, где прослушиваются струнные. Альбом хорошо подойдет для отдыха и фоновой музыки, поэтому можно добавить еще один хэштег #loungeЭтот проект отдает дань уважения некоторым нитям, которые сплели гобелен моей музыкальной жизни. Включение всех нитей было бы монументально огромным проектом, поэтому я привел здесь небольшой пример этих нитей.Все музыканты на этих записях играют роль в том, кем я являюсь как музыкант и как личность. Я считаю их частью своей музыкальной семьи и люблю их всех. Спасибо всем за то, что вы привнесли свою чудесность в этот проект. Каждая песня в этом проекте имеет для меня особое значение по-разному и была частью моего развития. Я начал свою профессиональную карьеру, играя на органе Hammond B3, и это остается нитью в том, как я подхожу ко всей своей музыке, поэтому мне пришлось включить ее в этот проект.Я хочу поблагодарить мою мать и отца за то, что они всегда поддерживали мои музыкальные начинания, мою жену Кэтрин за то, что она была моей музой и любовью всей моей жизни, и моих детей за то, что они приносили радость в мою жизнь. Мне повезло иметь много наставников и учителей, которым я очень благодарен. Ray DeFade Sr., Benny Benack Sr., Jerry Lucarelli, John Slate, Joe Negri, Bobby Negri и другим, кого я, возможно, забыл, надеюсь, я заставил вас гордиться. И последнее, но не менее важное: я хочу поблагодарить MCG Jazz: Marty Ashby, Renée Govanucci, Jay Dudt, David Sykut и всех сотрудников, которые внесли свой вклад в то, чтобы это произошло. - Max Leake.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1777535905Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 8 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor

前海西街黄勇前传：迷惘青春期，一架旧钢琴拨动了人生的齿轮⭐关键词：九门爵士节，台湖爵士音乐节，国家大剧院，刘元，CD咖啡，青春期，吉他黄勇是我播客开播时的最早一波嘉宾（详见《九门爵士黄勇：我敲了25家使馆的门，办了一场音乐节》），那次我们聊中国当代爵士乐的发展，一口气两个半小时，除去头尾寒暄，其他一刀未剪。因其超然的故事性和超厚重的知识性，至今仍是朋友们推荐我播客时的标签之作。这次重访，是因为国家大剧院即将迎来最盛大的第五届台湖爵士音乐节，而黄勇是台湖音乐节的音乐总监，换句话说，这阵容是他一手攒起来的。很多人好奇，他创办的九门爵士音乐节，连办了14年（2019年最后一届），怎的就舍得放下自己的品牌，转而去给大剧院站台了呢？我这回好奇的则是，他的爵士造诣来自幼功吗？他的学习过程是怎样的？结果一聊，嚯，原来有个曾经那般起伏跌宕的青春故事。喜爱爵士乐的朋友们没有不知道黄勇的，听过那期节目的朋友没有不钦佩黄勇的。黄勇曾以一人之力搭建起新世纪的国际爵士舞台——连续举办14年的九门爵士音乐节。如今，他身为国家大剧院台湖爵士音乐节的音乐总监，将爵士推向了更大的国际交流平台。4月30日，是联合国教科文组织的国际爵士乐日。是日，国家大剧院台湖爵士音乐节即将隆重开幕，几十支国内外的顶级爵士乐队将用他们的精彩表演覆盖整个五一黄金周。本届爵士节的阵容前所未有，就连格莱美获奖者爵士吉他大师迈克·斯特恩与享誉世界的爵士鼓大师丹尼斯·钱伯斯的“爵士双星”也会如约而至。这届爵士节在规模和水准上都较之以往跃升了几个台阶。从最初的一个户外舞台，增加至室内外3个主舞台和四个副舞台。售票演出的场次为21场，加上公益演出共计将近50场。除国内一线爵士音乐家轮番登台外，本届爵士节也邀请了诸多世界顶级的爵士乐大师，比如来自南美的 Saracotia三重奏爵士（巴西）、阿德里安·伊艾斯与学院三重奏（阿根廷）；当今美国炙手可热的爵士乐队BENNY BENACK；来自加拿大的爵士萨克斯大师“爵士勃拉姆斯”亚尼克·瑞约四重奏；以及来自台湾的著名歌手“跃”王若琳和国内最好的世界音乐代表HAYA乐团等等。毫无疑问，大咖云集的这一届台湖爵士节，将是一次让爵士真正进入主流视线的的音乐盛典。以上为硬广，真正有趣的是黄勇对他成长经历的讲述。我没想到他曾有过迷惘的街头少年经历，两次辍学差点让他的生命轨迹走向另一个截然相反的方向，然而，关键时刻，一个乡村学校的全体师生成为照进他生命中的一道强光，于是，便有了黄勇如今这般成就斐然的传奇人生。（刘元，从老师到老友）（CD咖啡）（《鹤鸣于野》专辑封面）（2025台湖爵士音乐节节目单）🎧时间轴：03:00 部队大院里只有我家会在周末传出歌声09:06 高一时，就闯了祸了16:35 全班64个人，我排名6421:04 又惹事儿了，再次被学校开除31:12 和女老师走过杨树林的那个场景，每分每秒都永生难忘38:20 农村中学的夜晚，除了星星就是狗叫43:24 高考大红榜上就我一个人的名字57:13 CD咖啡从第一天营业，我和刘元就在那演出了01:00:23 河对岸太灿烂了，我辞去音乐老师的工作01:05:42 《鹤鸣于野》应该是中国首张涉及到声景艺术与大自然环境的音乐专辑欢迎加入听友群，跟同类一起交流，跟节目一起成长，听友群请添加：zxr1111 商务合作邮箱：tll@bigred.vip 出品：周丽青嘉宾：黄勇主持人：唐拉拉封面设计：大宝小宝音频剪辑：唐努儿文字编辑：张朝

JAZZ по-русскиUlysses Owens Jr. and Generation Y • A New Beat © 2024 Cellar Live #bebopGeneration Y - это квинтет, состоящий из самых динамичных молодых джазовых музыкантов. Лидер барабанщик Ulysses Owens Jr. обладатель трех премий GRAMMY и это его восьмой альбом. Первые две премии он получил на альбомах Kurt Elling и The Christian McBride Big Band, а в прошлом году за участие в записи альбома Generation Gap, который я обозревал.
Он так же работал с Nicholas Payton, Wynton Marsalis, Mulgrew Miller, Joey Alexander и другими джазменами, благодаря чему узнал о наследии великих педагогов Art Blakey и Betty Carter.
За последние пять лет карьера Улисса превратилась из «молодого льва» в роль воспитателя нового поколения талантов посредством своей исполнительской, продюсерской и образовательной карьеры. Благодаря своей профессорской работе в Джульярдской школе, он привлекает молодых музыкантов и работая с ними прививает любовь к джазу. Generation Y - динамичная группа, которая передает силу джазовой традиции, показывая, что будущее музыки в надежных руках.
На этом альбоме представлен репертуар, который группа исполняла по всему миру за последние 4 года в турне. Альбом был записан в легендарной студии Руди Ван Гелдера в Энглвуде, штат Нью-Джерси, которая была штаб-квартирой многих великих джазовых музыкантов, записывавших альбомы на лейблах Blue Note, Prestige и Impulse.

Detoxicity: By Men, About Men, For EveryoneDetoxPod 133 : Benny Benack III (Musician)Benny Benack III is a trumpeter and jazz/standards vocalist originally from Pittsburgh PA and now making his home in Harlem, NYC. He's built up quite a following over the years, and has a new album scheduled to be released this spring.
Benny takes us through his childhood, where he almost seemed pre-ordained to be a musician (most of his family works somewhere in music). We talk about jazz's reputation as kind of a stick in the mud genre and what he's doing to keep things relevant to younger folks. We also talk about the brutal schedule...

2022-04-251h 03Improv Exchange PodcastEpisode #85: Aleksi GlickAs a member of a musical family, Aleksi has been exposed to virtually all styles of music since birth, from jazz to classical, folk to rock, and a half dozen other stops in between some of those genres. He’s listened to everyone from Jimi Hendrix to John Scofield, Derek Trucks to Wes Montgomery. His guitar speaks an authoritative language and yet, there is a relaxed feeling and an inbred admiration of music’s many faces. The sound is warm, round, and full, the phrasing is like a smooth-flowing brook, bubbling here, charging there, but always reflecting his basic under...

The Working Artist ProjectBenny Benack III: Swing'nIn this episode of The Working Artist Project, Darrian Douglas and Gregory Agid talk to Benny Benack III about his brand new album! By age 30, trumpeter and singer Benny Benack III has proven to be that rarest of talents: not only a fiery trumpet player with a stirring command of the postbop trumpet vernacular in the vein of Kenny Dorham and Freddie Hubbard but also a singer with a sly, mature, naturally expressive delivery in the post-Sinatra mold, performing standards and his astute songs with a thrilling sense of showmanship. His superb intonation and bracing virtuosity enable him to...

The Third Story with Leo SidranBenny Benack IIIBenny Benack III didn't necessarily start out thinking he would be a hipster crooner. He spent his 10,000 hours dealing with the trumpet, and he's still dealing with it. He tells me that he brings it with him everywhere - even on dates. He says, "Freddie Hubbard, Clifford Brown, Roy Hargrove, and Clark Terry were my early idols and everything about my musical identity is steeped in the trumpet vocabulary." Benny Grew up in Pittsburgh, the third in a trilogy of musical Benny Benacks (he follows in the footsteps of his trumpeter/bandleader grandfather, Benny Benack, Sr., and his father Benny...

Jazz Bastard PodcastJazz Bastard Podcast 231 - Hard SleddingLike musicians in every genre, jazzers can't resist the lure of making Christmas and/or holiday themed albums from time to time. Some of the efforts turn into timeless classics. But let's be real - most of 'em don't. We talk about two recent efforts, an oddity from the 'ninties, and one of Capitol records many repackaging of their back catalog for holiday commerce. Straps yourselves in, elves. Steven Feifke, Benny Benack III– SEASON’S SWINGIN’ GREETINGS; Johnny Costa – CHRISTMAS REFLECTIONS – SOLO PIANO; Various Artists - A CAPITOL CHRISTMAS; Nora Jones – I DREAM OF CHRISTMAS.

Bite-Size JazzSteven Feifke & Benny Benack III - Episode 60Steven Feifke and Benny Benack III don’t have a typical arranger-singer relationship. That’s because they’re not just a typical arranger or singer — Benny also is an incredible trumpet player who writes his own lead sheets for his quartet, and Steven is an incredible pianist and composer (check out his recently released big band album, Kinetic). Thus, it’s not “singer who stands in front and has nothing to do with composing” and “arranger who just cranks out charts without any artist preferences.” Their album, Seasons Swinging Greetings, showcases the intertwining talents of composing, arranging, and writing lyrics.

2020-01-101h 03Discovering JazzEpisode 85, More New Vocal Discoveries (with Angela Verbrugge)I asked Victoria vocalist and studier of ‘swing’ style jazz, Angela Verbrugge, to send me names of some great jazz vocalist that would likely be new to me. She did. Thank you!
This program, as well as last week’s, has me playing music by those singers and talking to her about the singers and the music.
I also introduce to her my favourite vocalist, the late great Gene (aka Eugene) McDaniels. I play three tracks by him showing three very distinctive phases of his jazz vocal and songwriting career, starting with a very obscure album from 2009. And from the 1970’s, an...
