Episode 189: Can We Meet Kids Where They Are Without Lowering Standards? With Jonathan Talberg
Is “Tough Love” outdated? Or is it the tool of caring parents and educators? Recently, a “Facebook post dialogue” of sorts went viral amongst music educators between Juilliard professor Geoffrey Keezer and James Falzone. Professor Keezer made a relatively short post related to the problems he is seeing in his teaching position related to reliability and accountability for students. It resonated with thousands of people as it got shared and discussed. But, it kind of had a “kids these days” feeling to it, so not everyone responded sympathetically. Enter, James Falzone. He crafted an essay in response encouraging...

Michael Dease • The Other Shoe: The Music of Gregg Hill ©️ 2023 Origin #bebop
Нeдавно я обозревал альбом басиста Rodney Whitaker с музыкой композитора Gregg Hill. Теперь знаменитый тромбонист Michael Dease записал интерпретации этого художника, назвав альбом Other Shoe: The Music of Gregg Hill. Впечатляют музыканты, разнообразность стилей и инструментов. Например лидер на трех треках берет в руки баритон саксофон, а на тромбоне играет его ученик. На всех треках присутствует кларнет на котором играет женщина, а так же женщины на басу и барабанах. Игра сразу двух басистов на треке Hello, Blues, также добавляет интересности. Титульная композиция растянулась на 15 минут и напоминает эксперименты Miles Davis по сплетению разных стилей. Это единственная вещь на альбоме, где присутствует орган и ее прекрасная аранжировка заслуживает отдельного внимания. Виртуозная игра музыкантов, резкая смена ритмов, великолепные соло, новизна пьес и прекрасные аранжировки, ставят эту запись в категорию пост-боп. Я даю наивысшую оценку этому альбому, а титульный трек добавлю в плэйлист как лучший. ©️ 2023 Origin All compositions by Gregg Hill Michael Dease - trombone, baritone sax 4,7,10, percussion 4 Virginia MacDonald - clarinet Geoffrey Keezer - piano 1,2,3,5,6,9 Luther Allison - piano 4,7,8, Fender Rhodes 10 Liany Mateo - bass Rodney Whitaker - bass 3 (2nd bass solo) Colleen Clark - drumset & cymbals Kevin Jones - percussion 5,7,10 Gwendolyn Dease - percussion 5,7,10 Joel Perez - trombone 4,7 Recorded & mixed by Corey De Rushia, Troubadour Recording Studios, Lansing, Michigan, September 5-6, 2022 #bebop #contemporaryjazz

Steve Davis • Bluesthetic ©️ 2022 #bebop
Знакомый тромбонист и педагог Steve Davis на обложке свежего альбома, в титрах которого, поражает звездный состав секстета, который он собрал для релиза своих десяти оригиналов. Первое впечатление говорит о том, что он знал для кого он писал и с кем будет исполнять эти произведения. На самом деле музыканты хорошо знакомы и раньше работали вместе, только в разных составах. Название Bluesthetic - это сочетание блюза и эстетики, чему реально придерживаются музыканты. И если говорить о стиле, то я бы назвал это свинговый боп, потому, что так красиво исполнять новые треки умеют не многие, а вместе они просто и непринужденно свингуют. В моей музыке блюз всегда находит себе применение, - объясняет автор. Что бы не забыть этот язык, я никогда не удаляюсь далеко от него. Это то, что я люблю. И это определенно показывает, как эстетично эта конкретная группа подходит к моей музыке. Запись этого альбома была чем-то вроде воссоединения семьи. Было абсолютной радостью собрать такую превосходную команду вместе.

Gerry Gibbs • Songs From My Father®️2021 #jazz #bebop
🥁Барабанщик Gerry Gibbs чествует своего 96-летнего отца - вибрафониста Terry Gibbs, записав двойной альбом Songs From My Father, в котором нет духовых инструментов. Восемнадцать мелодий отца и одна пьеса покойного Chick Corea - Tango for Terry, которая является его последней записью, а также две арранжировки сделанные специально для этого альбома. 🥁Можно сказать пандемия позволила принять участие таким звездам, которые в противном случае были бы на гастролях. В течение 10 месяцев Джерри проехал 15000 миль на автомобиле, чтобы осуществить и собрать эти записи. 🥁На обложке указаны знакомые имена пригляшенных музыкантов и название основного трио Thrasher Dream Trio, которым руководит лидер. В треке Hey Chick принимают участие все артисты, плюс в середине вмонтирована запись 1961 года Hey Jim.
