DIZZY GILLESPIEtm ALL-STAR BIG BAND MAY 28-JUNE 2, 8PM & 10:30PM

History has produced its share of great artists and great people – John Birks “Dizzy” Gillespie was both. As a performer, he left behind an incredible record of innovation and inspiration; as a composer, a broad repository of musical masterpieces; and as a man, a legion of friends, colleagues, and compatriots who remember him with the same degree of love and esteem they reserve for his work. For Gillespie, playing in a small combo was never enough. His artistry compelled him to seek larger ensembles because, for a brilliant composer and arranger, a big band is the ultimate vehicle for self-expression. Given that the majority of his career took place after 1950 when the big band era was over, it is especially notable that Gillespie continued to create brilliant music using the grand-scale formats of jazz big band and orchestra right up to the end of his life in 1993. The Dizzy Gillespie™ All-Star Big Band and smaller Alumni All-Star group are the direct descendants

of Gillespie’s musical ventures. The groups feature some of Dizzy’s closest compatriots: senior statesman and NEA Jazz Master Jimmy Heath; veteran Gillespie alumni Roy Hargrove, vocalist Roberta Gambarini, Cyrus Chestnut, Steve Davis, and Lewis Nash; and musical director John Lee. All of them are bandleaders, educators, and recording artists in their own right. These groups are the legacy the master would have wanted, and they serve as a living tribute from extraordinary musicians who exemplify Dizzy’s style, range, and commitment. Together, the Dizzy Big Band and small group All-Stars have recorded numerous critically acclaimed albums. One of the Big Band’s latest albums, I’m BeBoppin’ Too, was released on Half Note Records in 2009. All About Jazz called the recording “a remarkably proficient and invariably engaging outing.” n

SPARKPLUG W/ TIM PALMIERI (KUNG FU) FRIDAY NIGHT, MAY 31 12:30AM

For several years, organist Beau Sasser and drummer Bill Carbone each made up 1/3 of the late legendary soul jazz guitarist Melvin Sparks’ trio. Since Sparks’ passing, Sasser and Carbone created a way of paying tribute to their friend and mentor by forming the band Sparkplug. The band performs songs written and performed by Sparks during his 45-year career as a musician, as well as imagining where Sparks would have taken the music if he was still with us today. Because Sparks is irreplaceable, Sparkplug does not have a steady guitarist in the band. Instead, they fea-

ture a new special guest guitarist on each gig. Tonight Sparkplug will feature saxophonist David Davis as well as percussionist Jamemurrell Stanley. n

DJ LOGIC SATURDAY NIGHT, JUNE 1 12:30AM

Since DJ Logic’s emergence in the early nineties amidst the Bronx hip-hop scene, the New York City based deejay has been amassing a veritable mountain of collaborations including Medeski, Martin & Wood, Christian McBride, Vernon Reid, Charlie Hunter, Jack DeJohnette, John Mayer, Ben Harper, Mos Def, and The Roots.

PEDRO GIRAUDO “EXPANSIONS” BIG BAND SUNDAY, JUNE 2

12:30 & 2:30PM $29.50 includes music, brunch & 1 drink

Argentine-born Pedro Giraudo has been hailed as one of the most creative and daring composer/bandleaders on the jazz scene today. Downbeat Magazine has called his music “An opulent listening experience of modern orchestral jazz, brimming with passionate improvisations, contrapuntal melodies, and plush harmonies.” Giraudo’s 17-piece big band, “Expansions,” displays the powerful emotional impact of his compositions, which have captivated listeners around the world with their passion and energy. With Argentine underpinnings and a hint of South American grooves, they’re subtly

suggestive of such composers as Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus, masterfully weaving together pre-composed and improvised elements. The band has performed regularly in the most prestigious jazz clubs in the New York City area, including the Jazz Standard, Birdland, the Jazz Gallery, Joe’s Pub. n

GATO BARBIERi MONDAY, JUNE 3, 8PM & 10:30PM Mystical yet fiery, passionately romantic yet supremely cool – you hear those first few notes from that instantly recognizable tenor, and know you’re in the unique musical world of Gato Barbieri. His career has covered virtually the entire jazz landscape, from free jazz with trumpeter Don Cherry and avant-garde in the mid-’60s, to film scoring and his ultimate embrace of Latin music throughout the ’70s and ’80s. Barbieri began playing tenor saxophone with his own band in the late ’50s and moved to Rome with his Italian-born first wife Michelle in 1962, where he began collaborating with Cherry. The two recorded albums for Blue Note: Complete Communion (1965) and Symphony for Improvisers (1966), both of which are considered classics of free group improvisation. He also collaborated with Steve Lacy, Abdullah Ibrahim, Charlie Haden, Carla Bley and the Jazz Composer’s Orchestra, Stanley Clarke, Airto Moreira, Chico O’Farrell, and Lonnie Liston Smith during this period. Barbieri recorded a handful of albums on the Flying Dutchman label in the early ’70s and then signed with Impulse, where he recorded his classic Chapter Series: Latin America (1973), Hasta Siempre (1973), Viva Emiliano Zapata (1974), and Alive in New York (1975). While at Impulse, he also composed the Grammy-winning score for the film Last Tango in Paris (1972) – an achievement he parlayed into success as a film composer, scoring international films over the years in Europe, South America, and

the U.S. By the mid-’70s, Barbieri’s coarse, wailing tone began to mellow, a change evident on his ’70s A&M recordings. However, early ’80s dates like the Live Gato … Para Los Amigos (1984) saw the saxophonist reclaim a more intense, rock-influenced South American sound. After years of limited musical activity due to the passing of his first wife

(also his closest musical confidant and manager) and his own triple bypass surgery, Barbieri returned stronger than ever with the 1997 Columbia offering Que Pasa, the fourth-highest-selling contemporary jazz album of that year. Since that reemergence, he has continued to release albums, including The Shadow of the Cat (2002), which won Billboard’s prestigious 2003 Latin Jazz Album of the Year award and garnered a Grammy nomination, and New York Meeting (2010). n

KENNY WERNER QUINTET upstairs at the W/ LIONEL LOUEKE & MIGUEL ZENóN JUNE 11-13, 8PM & 10:3PM

Kenny Werner is a world-class pianist and composer. His prolific output continues to impact audiences around the world. Born in Brooklyn in 1951 and growing up on Long Island, Werner began playing and performing at a young age, first recording on television at the age of 11. He formed his own trio in 1981 with drummer Tom Rainey and bassist Ratzo Harris. The trio matured for 14 years, wowing audiences in America and Europe and recording four albums. The ‘90s saw Werner begin several outstanding musical partnerships. He continues to play duo with Toots Thielemans, the legendary harmonica player. For 20 years he has played with and arranged for Broadway legend Betty Buckley. He has also enjoyed a nearly 40-year friendship and musical collaboration with Joe Lovano, with each recording on several of the other’s projects. In 2000, Werner formed a new trio with Ari Hoenig on drums and Johannes Weidenmueller on bass. They played together for nearly a decade and released three albums, the last of which, Peace: Live at the Blue Note (2004), began Werner’s fruitful relationship with Half Note Records, the recording arm of the Blue Note Jazz Club.

In 2010, Werner was honored with the Guggenheim Fellowship Award for his seminal work, No Beginning No End (2010). Released on Half Note Records, the album is a musical journey exploring tragedy and loss, death and transition, and the path from one lifetime to the next. Among his other recent releases are Institute of Higher Learning with the Brussels Jazz Orchestra (2011) and Me, Myself & I (2012), a live solo piano recording. In addition to his work as a performer and composer, Werner is a worldclass educator. His groundbreaking book on improvisation, Effortless Mastery (2006), is required reading for all aspiring jazz musicians. He also gives lessons and clinics across the U.S. and is currently an Artist-in-Residence at New York University. For several years now, Werner has toured and recorded in a quintet format, releasing Balloons: Live at the Blue Note on Half Note Records. Tonight, he returns to the Blue Note stage in this format, performing with an all-star quintet featuring guitarist Lionel Loueke and saxophonist Miguel Zenon. n

McCOY TYNER & THE LATIN ALL-STARS JUNE 14-16, 8PM & 10:30PM

Jazz pianist McCoy Tyner is widely considered one of the finest and most influential pianists in jazz history. His signature booming left-hand and fleeting right created a unique sound that can be heard on his recordings as a sideman with the John Coltrane Quartet in the 1960s and on his 80-plus albums as a leader. Tyner’s most recent project for McCoy Tyner Music/Half Note Records is his first solo effort in almost a decade titled Solo: Live From San Francisco. The release is the third for his label and features eleven solo vignettes recorded at the Herbst Theater in 2007. Tyner’s blues based piano style, replete with sophisticated chords and an explosively percussive left hand has transcended conventional styles to become one of the most identifiable sounds in improvised music. His harmonic contributions and dramatic rhythmic devices form the vocabulary of a majority of jazz pianists. Born in 1938 in Philadelphia, he became a part of the fertile jazz and R&B scene of the early ‘50s. His parents imbued him with a love for music from an early age. His mother encouraged him to explore his musical interests through formal training.

At 17 he began a career-changing relationship with Miles Davis’ sideman saxophonist John Coltrane. After Coltrane left Davis’ band, Tyner joined Coltrane for the classic album My Favorite Things (1960), and remained at the core of what became one of the most seminal groups in jazz history, The John Coltrane Quartet. The band, which also included drummer Elvin Jones and bassist Jimmy Garrison, had an extraordinary chemistry, fostered in part by Tyner’s almost familial relationship with Coltrane. Tyner has always expanded his vision of the musical landscape and incorporated new elements, whether from distant continents or diverse musical influences. More recently he has arranged for big bands, employed string arrangements, and even reinterpreted popular music. Today, Tyner has released nearly 80 albums under his name, earned four Grammys and was awarded Jazz Master from the National Endowment for the Arts in 2002. He continues to leave his mark on generations of improvisers, and yet remains a disarmingly modest and spiritually directed man. n

JOHN McLAUGHLIN & THE 4TH DIMENSION JUNE 18-20, 8PM & 10:30PM Veteran guitar grandmaster JOHN McLAUGHLIN has earned a place in the top echelon of the six-string pantheon. His virtuosity has been on display in a number of divergent settings throughout his celebrated career, beginning in the early 1960s as the electric guitarist for Georgie Fame’s rocking Blue Flames. From there he covered a wide swath of musical territory. In the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, he explored

electric guitar jazz-rock fusion with Tony Williams’s Lifetime and Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew, On the Corner and Live at the Cellar Door bands. (It was through McLaughlin’s tenure with Miles that he got to work with Chick Corea.) The veteran guitar aficionado celebrates his 70th birthday year with the announcement of Now Here This (Abstract Logix) as he ups-the-ante even further with greater fire, finesse and freewheeling interplay with his latest group, The 4th Dimension.

McLaughlin’s musical influences carry over to many of the musical elite also declaring him to be “the best guitarist alive,” as Jeff Beck mused in 2010. In 2003, McLaughlin was ranked 49th in Rolling Stone magazine list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and in the summer of 2007, McLaughlin performed at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Bridgeview, Illinois. Chick Corea remarked to DownBeat Magazine that “…what John McLaughlin did with the electric guitar set the world on its ear. No one ever heard an electric guitar played like that before, and it certainly inspired me. John’s band, more than my experience with Miles, led me to want to turn the volume up and write music that was more dramatic and made your hair stand on end.” McLaughlin’s latest creative venture with The 4th Dimension reflects a slight, yet significant, alteration of the dynamic, specifically the recruitment of powerhouse Indian drummer Ranjit Barot. Cameroon-born/Parisresident bassist Etienne M’Bappe and keyboardist/drummer Gary Husband. This 8-track set of McLaughlin originals, recorded at Studio 26 in Antibes, France, testifies to the guitarist’s decades-long fascination with Indian music, through his effortless virtuosity, and relentless lyricism, even when the guitarist is shredding at near-light speed. As John himself simply states, “Now Here This is the culmination of my life’s work till now.” n

HALF NOTE RECORDS NEW RELEASE Striking, bold, organic, and beautiful. Those words describe Maya Azucena’s voice, her music, and her message. On CRY LOVE her impressive talent unfolds over eleven tracks. An anthem for justice, the title track constitutes the album’s core concept. Her desire to inspire and empower listeners saturates the edgy groove of “Warriors” and the sanguine sway of “Near”. “The Half” is a harrowing take propelled by rock icon Vernon Reid. She invited reggae legend and Billboard #1 artist iNi Kamoze aboard on “My Back’s Not Up Against The Wall” while the glistening, acoustic qualities of “Belong To The Sun” furnish another standout cut.

THE GREYBOY ALLSTARS

W/ GUESTS HOUSTON PERSON (24th), JAMES CARTER (25th) & GARY BARTZ (26th)

JUNE 24-26, 8PM & 10:30PM

It has been 20 years since The Greyboy Allstars—frequenters of the scene surrounding the `70s soul-and-funkspinning DJ Greyboy—formed in San Diego, with their producer and label owner as a namesake. The band’s 1995 debut, West Coast Boogaloo, has influenced countless other artists and groups, and the Allstars’ early work together launched, for each member, a unique kind of prolific and highly successful solo career. As a result, the The Greyboy Allstars have managed to come together only once every few years—releasing only three studio albums to date—although the joy of writing and recording as a group has motivated them to continue to reunite when they have time. Knowledge Room Recordings releases their first studio album in six years, Inland Emperor, on April 16. Inland Emperor features original band members Karl Denson (horns and vocals), Robert Walter (keyboards), Elgin Park (aka Michael Andrews, guitars and vocals) and Chris Stillwell (bass), along with Aaron Redfield (drums), who has played with the group in recent years, and a guest appearance by John Bigham, of Soul Of John Black, on “Bitch Inside Me.”

The Greyboy Allstars’ last release was What Happened to Television (2007), which earned substantial critical praise. The Los Angeles Times wrote, “The [music of] this talented collective feels so cozy and organic you never want to leave its inviting groove.” Legendary tenor saxophonist Houston Person has performed with the likes of Cedar Walton, Etta Jones, Horace Silver, and Gene Ammons and has recorded over 50 albums as a leader. Legendary alto and soprano saxophonist Gary Bartz has played with Miles Davis, Gene Ammons, Donald Byrd, Charles Mingus, Max Roach, Woody Shaw and many more. He currently works frequently with McCoy Tyner and also teaches at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Saxophonist James Carter has performed, either live or in the studio, with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, the late Julius Hemphill, Ronald Shannon Jackson, the Charles Mingus Big Band, soprano Kathleen Battle, Aretha Franklin, David Murray, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Ginger Baker, Sonny Rollins, and many others. n

Marcus Strickland’s desire to preach above and beyond the jazz choir is rooted in his affinity toward a multitude of musical styles.

He has collaborated with Wynton Marsalis, Tom Harrell, and Dave Douglas, but Strickland’s longest and most impressionable working relationships include two of the most influential drummers ever to play the instrument: Roy Haynes and Jeff “Tain” Watts. Strickland was still attending college when jazz master Roy Haynes asked him to join his Fountain of Youth band. Strickland held

the tenor spot for five years before joining Watts. “As long as you’re honest, I think nobody can mess with that. I think that’s essential to being an artist... to be yourself.” n

andy bey - solo PRODUCED BY JILL NEWMAN PRODUCTIONS

JUNE 30, 8PM & 10:30PM After a twenty two year absence from recording Andy Bey returned with four albums that have become a permanent part of the musical landscape. The 2005 Grammy Nominated American Song is a delicious celebration

of one of America’s great gifts to the music world: The American Songbook. On his new release Ain’t Necessarily So Bey brings the energy of live performance to compositions by the gods of American Songwriting. Insiders have always known about Andy Bey. Given his limited output of studio recordings, live performances were the source of Bey’s reputation as singer. Aretha Franklin reminisces about the nights when Andy and The Bey Sisters worked the Village in New York: “Soon as I finished my gig I’d run over to hear them. Andy never got the recognition he deserved . . . jazz originals . . . brilliant and precious.” Like the playground legend who never made it to the NBA, Andy Bey was almost consigned to the fading murmurs of those who caught him in Paris in ‘59, or Birdland in the mid ‘60s. There are few left who remember when Lena, Nina and Carmen crowded into Harlem’s Shalimar to hear Bey light it up. That tantalizing footage of Andy Bey

and his sisters delighting a crowd of Parisian partygoers in the Chet Baker documentary Let’s Get Lost, gives us a clue of the years of brilliance that were never committed to vinyl. One can only imagine what we’ve missed. But, we have been blessed with four records that have changed how we think of Jazz vocals. Decades intervened between those after hours below the radar sessions and the 1996 recordings presented on Ain’t Necessarily So. But the vivid performances haven’t dimmed. Like so many before him, British vocalist Jamie Cullum described what it’s like to fall under Bey’s spell: “Andy Bey was at Ronnie Scott’s and I saw him six nights in a row. I got into a huge amount of debt going to see Andy Bey. What I love about him is that he creates an atmosphere. As soon as he opens his mouth, you’re transported to another place.” A recording of standards has become the default option for artists in search of an audience or a late career boost. A new cadre of singers has been anointed keepers of the Songbook flame. But as The New Yorker observed, the proof is in the listening: “The “jazz vocal section of your record store is probably dominated by young white singers , but Andy Bey an African-American veteran has made this year’s record to beat.” Andy Bey’s live performance, on Ain’t Necessarily So makes the point that the best performers raise the standards by drawing more from a song than the obvious. At 67 Andy Bey is one of the last major performers with a personal connection to the era. But he refuses to be bound by precedent. He invests these eight songs with an accumulation of musical sensibilities that make them sound as if they were born yesterday. The songs may be standards, but the interpretations are by no means routine. As People magazine confirmed “American song has met an American
