Summer Sunday News!

By Alisa Clancy Jazz91 Program Director

Hot off the press: Big Band Jump host Don Kennedy is retiring! Don has a gaggle of fans (myself included) and I want to make sure that Sunday mornings keep swingin' between 6 and 8am. Beginning June 8th, Clint Baker will be the host of Breakfast, Dance & Barbecue. Clint promises to keep the spirit with Big Band, Basie, New Orleans & Traditional Jazz in that time-slot. As a long-time Bay Area bandleader and historian, Clint knows his stuff and I'm pretty sure the fun factor will be high. Also beginning that same date Riverwalk Jazz will be replaced by a new show, Rhythm Retrospective hosted by a Bay Area festival favorite, pianist Carl Sonny Leyland. It's Blues, Roots, R&B, Rockabilly. You name it…Carl gets into it, 6pm Sundays. Then, look out! We’ve lit up the calibrated candle in the Purple Grotto for a re-visit…we do keep it just as he left it you know! You'll want to hear Summer in the Grotto with Al Jazzbeaux Collins. I've culled 13 of Al's best shows and it'll make your lobes glow.

Sunday nights at 8. All beginning June 8th…the day after Jazz on the Hill!

6/9

Regina Carter & Wynton Marsalis With her violin plus accordion & kora, MacArthur Fellow Regina Carter weaves sound tapestries from traditional African melodies. Trumpeter Marsalis & his long-time group delight Newport with Big Fat Hen from The Magic Hour, his album for children. It’s irresistible.

6/16 John Ellis and Double-Wide & Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society The tenor man’s band has a New Orleans carnival feel with trombone & sousaphone, Jason Marsalis on drums, and Gary Versace on organ & accordion. Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society gives a taste of Argue’s imaginative theatrical piece for orchestra, Brooklyn Babylon.

6/24 Re-imagined: The Music of Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea Pianists Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea are kindred spirits, imaginative composers who have fused and redefined the sound of jazz.

Amina Figarova Amina Figarova grew up in the former Soviet state of Azerbaijan. Originally a conservatory trained classical pianist, Figarova studied jazz performance in Rotterdam and at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. Her refined and lyrical style is on display as she performs her own Night Train, and McPartland joins her for Body and Soul.

6/11 Jerry Dodgion Saxophonist Jerry Dodgion has played with just about everyone in the jazz world throughout his long career, including Benny Carter, Red Norvo, Frank Sinatra, and Benny Goodman. A gifted improviser influenced by Charlie Parker, Dodgion always has something to say in his solos. Dodgion sits in with McPartland on Isfahan and pulls out his flute for McPartland’s Ambiance.

6/18 Helen Sung Pianist Helen Sung is a dazzling and passionate player originally from Houston, TX. A graduate of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance, she has played with such luminaries as Clark Terry and Wynton Marsalis. Sung shows off her compositional skills on her tune Hope Springs Eternally and joins McPartland on Someday My Prince Will Come.

6/25 Bruce Hornsby Respected for his piano playing and creative songwriting, Bruce Hornsby wows critics and fans alike with his fresh and unique sound. Since his 1986 Grammy win as Best New Artist with the album, The Way It Is, Hornsby’s compositions have traversed an eclectic mix of styles from pop to roots music to soul. This week the influence of Keith Jarrett and Bud Powell peeks through as he performs Solar and his hit song, That’s Just The Way It Is.
