David Basse
NYC CD Release for
“The Hero and the Lover…”
Friday, July 18, from 4pm – 7pm
@ SMALLS

SMALLS
183 W 10th St, New York, NY 10014

David BasseDavid Basse began his professional music career in 1969, when his parents trusted the neighbors to keep an eye on him while they vacationed in California. Basse seized that opportunity and turned it into a six-night gig at a local cocktail lounge with a band named “Carroll Lee and the Moonlighters”. This gig was the first small step in mastering many styles of drumming and subsequently learning to sing from the drumset. He stayed with Lee for the next three years, earning his way through high school and onto the road at age 17. In 1974, he landed in Kansas City, after gigs in Denver, Nashville, New Orleans, Winnipeg Manitoba, a trip to LA and various teenaged forays throughout the United States.

In August of 1982 David Basse began his focus on jazz. He made a tough decision: attend his tenth high school class reunion, or take a much-needed gig at City Light, then a brand new Kansas City nightclub located at 7425 Broadway. Little did he know that one night stand with vocalist Pricilla Bowman would turn into almost seven years, five nights a week at the nightclub and an opportunity to rub elbows with politicians, community leaders, and to jam with jazz royalty such as Johnny Griffin, Richie Cole, and Les McCann. The regular members of the band often included Claude “Fiddler” Williams, Carmell Jones, and Basse’s newfound mentor Ahmed Alaadeen.

Meeting drummer Bill Goodwin in 1985 led Basse to try his luck in the Los Angeles. Bill introduced David to pianist Mike Melvoin; a musician that David had idolized from Mike’s extensive studio work and on records by Tom Waits, Frank Sinatra and many others. Starting in 1992, Melvoin helped Basse establish himself in L.A. and to develop a body of original material that continues to grow to this day. West coast bands led by Basse featured Melvoin and other noted musicians such as bassist Andy Simkins, trumpeter Steve Huffstetter, trombonist Slyde Hyde, and drummer Earl Palmer.

In 2003 Basse funded and produced a recording that became a Grammy nominated project for Mike Melvoin. The duo traveled to the east coast and performed at the Deer Head Inn. This legendary nightclub is housed in a 150-year-old Inn in the Delaware River Valley, on the Appalachian Trail. Saxophonist Phil Woods lives just a few blocks from the Inn, as well as many other celebrated artists and musicians. The recording project began when Goodwin brought Basse and Melvoin to Woods’ home for a rehearsal that featured many originals that Woods instantly dubbed, “The American songbook raised up a notch”.

Today, Basse’s ninth recording, “The Hero and the Lover…” is a culmination of over forty years of trial and error, serendipitous miscalculation and a powerful and undying love of art and music. It is a testament to the tenacity that it takes to survive in the face of an international recession and continue to create worthwhile art.

Besides traveling in support of his new recording and publically speaking on the merits and musical heritage of his adopted hometown – Kansas City; David Basse hosts a weekly jazz radio program at the University of Kansas and is the featured male vocalist on “The 12th Street Jump” – public radio’s “weekly jazz, blues and comedy jam”.

Early in 2014 we find Basse at it again – embarking on a late night syndicated jazz radio project entitled “Jazz Alive Overnight.”

Come see our current exhibition 
‘Ralph Ellison: A Man and His Records’
Open from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday in the Jazz Museum’s Visitors Center
104 E. 126th Street, Suite 2c

 

Please come see our new Ralph Ellison exhibit, which has received rave notices in The New Yorker and listings in The New York Times. Based on the museum’s acquisition of the recordings that Ellison listened to while he wrote his masterpieces (including Invisible Man), the exhibit blends the music and the albums with his words, presented in thrilling and creative visual juxtapositions. As you listen to the music in the exhibit, it is as though you are visiting with Ellison as he is writing. In addition, our interactive kiosk offers rare videos of Ellison, along with interviews created especially for the exhibit with scholars such as Stanley Crouch.

 

From Richard Brody in The New Yorker:

 

One of the greatest American novelists, Ralph Ellison, is also one of our greatest writers about music, as evidenced by the volume “Living with Music,” which collects his writings about jazz. Ellison’s life with music is thrust to the fore by a noteworthy exhibit that just opened at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, “Ralph Ellison: A Man and His Records,” on the occasion of his centennial (with an asterisk: his biographer, Arnold Rampersad, gives Ellison’s birth date as March 1, 1913). Ellison, who died in 1994, was a big collector of jazz records-indeed, of records of many kinds of music. The museum has acquired his collection, which is the centerpiece of the exhibit.

 

To capture the appeal and the delight of the show, with its selection of citations from Ellison’s work and evocative archival images, it’s worth glancing at just how Ellison lived with music….

‘Jazz: The Experimenters,’ a 1965 television broadcast of performances by the bands of Cecil Taylor and Charles Mingus, with commentary by Ralph Ellison and the jazz critic Martin Williams, currently on view at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem as part of an exhibition devoted to Ellison’s record collection, would be worth the trip, even in the absence of the enticing and evocative installation of artifacts, texts, and images that surrounds it. The broadcast is a major document in the contextualized history of jazz and its performance.

Sol Yaged
The 92 year old swing era musician Sol Yaged is a living legend in the jazz world.
He taught Steve Allen how to play the clarinet for his title role in  ”The Benny Goodman Story.
The jazz historian and radio-show host Phil Schaap said, ”Sol Yaged has always been a solid musician,” and noted that Mr. Yaged had played in Max Kaminsky’s band on the opening night of the original Birdland. ”That his fame has evaporated says more about the state of jazz than it does about him. He’s still an employed musician in New York, a city with 600 hard-bop bands without work.’ You can read a nice profile of Mr. Yaged in the New York Times HERE.
Bob Arkin
Bassist Bob Arkin has an unusual list of music credits that include playing jazz, blues, folk and avant-garde music to accompanying Arlo Guthrie at  the 1969 Woodstock Festival. He’s also the brother of the acclaimed actor Alan Arkin.  A nice profile about Bob Arkin was published recently in the New York Times.  You can read it HERE.
Jon Weiss is an accomplished pianist, keyboardist and vocalist who’s been on the New York scene since 1979. Fluid in all styles of jazz he has worked with several famous jazz musicians including Dexter Gordon, Flip Phillips, Eddie Henderson, Percy France, Tisziji Munoz, and Houston Person to name a few.

        For more than 40 years, eminent composer/arranger/pianist Antonio Adolfo has been committed to exploring the full scope of Brazilian music from a jazz perspective. His latest endeavor, Rio, Choro, Jazzvividly demonstrates how an extraordinary artistic achievement can also be an edifying educational experience.On this CD, his sixth for AAM Music, Antonio brings the work of the outstanding seminal Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth to a 21st Century audience.  In doing so, he also offers an enthralling discourse in the Choro, a unique Brazilian style.  Evolving in the latter part of the 19th Century, Choro combined a variety of European dance forms with the strong African influence already in place in Brazil, particularly with the rhythms of the Afro-Brazilian Lundu.  Utilizing European instruments that were also housed in Rio – including pianos and various types of guitars – the Choro was born.The bolder pianists, primarily classical-trained, began to experiment with this form. Foremost among them was Ernesto Nazareth, who combined his classical training (particularly in Chopin) with his interest in the Lunduand the emerging American Ragtime form.  Nazareth, Pixinguinha and Jobim are considered Brazil’s greatest and most influential composers of popular music.Rio, Choro, Jazz features nine of the prolific composer’s works – a diverse array of compositions spanning the years 1881-1912 – along with one original by Antonio.  The core quintet is culled from the same perfectly synergized group of brilliant musicians who made Antonio’s previous AAM CD, Finas Misturasso highly acclaimed – Claudio Spiewak on guitars, Jorge Helder on double bass, flautist and soprano saxophonist Marcelo Martins, Rafael Barata on drums and percussion, and Antonio on piano. A major addition is percussionist Marcos Suzano whose precision and richness of timbres combines wonderfully with Barata’s free and subtle Brazilian jazz mastery. A special flavor is added by Rick Ferreira and Bob Whitlock, who play banjos on one track.The interplay among the musicians is stunning, seamlessly moving between Antonio’s impeccably crafted arrangements and the improvised sections so perfectly that it’s virtually impossible to discern where one ends and the other begins.  The individual solos are always succinct, lyrical and totally in the music, always contributing to the whole without ever calling attention to themselves for their own sake – despite the virtuosity of the soloists.  They simply add layer upon layer to the distinctive tale that each piece tells.

The music covers a wide palette of contexts and moods. Despite this – and the many years over which the pieces were composed – there is a clearly defined narrative flow, programmed perfectly to express Antonio’s artistic vision. His title composition Rio Choro Jazz opens the album.  Lilting, lyrical and infectious, it provides a synthesis of the Choro form, serving almost as an overture for what is to come.

The earliest piece is from 1881 – Não Caio Noutra (Better Next Time), a jubilant romp in a Joplin-esque Ragtime mode with twin banjos fueling the old-timey feel.  But the mood zooms ahead during the vibrant soprano, piano and bass solos, conveying a samba jazz-type of energy before a spirited trade of fours with Barata leads back to the Ragtime exit.

Another very modern sensibility is blended into Fon-Fon, from 1913.  Opening with a highly atmospheric pastiche in a samba-ish groove that implies an entirely different direction, the ensuing melodic structure suggests an aura of Eubie Blake.  Evolving into an open feeling, the tone is set for a tension-filled piano solo and a sinuously lyrical flute turn before retracing its steps out.

A fascinating story is told in Tenebroso (Tenebrous, or Mysterious) also from 1913.  The initial strains convey the feeling of Miles’ In a Silent Way, with fiery percussion, airy piano and soprano colorations over pulsing bass.  The brisk melodic line by bassist Helder launches an acoustic foray by Spiewak, and Martins continues the Miles vibe with a fluid solo in Wayne Shorter-ish dazzle.  It concludes with an explosive climax of collective improvisation at its finest.

Feitiço (Enchantment) from 1897 lives up to its name.  One can hear the Chopin influence in the opening lines and at various times throughout the jaunty, playful piece, built on the rhythms of the pandeiro – the percussion instrument most typical of the Choro style.  Solos by acoustic guitar, piano and flute are stoked by Helder’s deeply wooded bass.

Sheer beauty is the theme for two other pieces.  Coração Que Sente (Sensitive Heart) from 1903 is a beautiful waltz, deeply evocative with a rubato feel.  You could easily imagine Billie Holiday singing this with Teddy Wilson providing the pillow beneath her.  Here Martins’ sensitive flute playing and Antonio’s filigree piano stylings provide the serenely tender interpretation, with bass and drums bringing a sensitivity that visits the territory of Bill Evans’ trio. Nenê (Baby) from 1895 is a bit more sprightly, but still quite genteel and touching, stated in loving terms by Antonio’s soothing lyricism and Martins’ warmly resonant flute.  Contemporary chords are added to open the exploratory zone for the piano and flute solos without remotely detracting from the essence of gentility.

Brejeiro (Bucolic) from 1893 is a lovely, wistful piece and one of the composer’s most popular songs.  Tranquil, yet infectiously rhythmic, the piece is further enhanced by an inventive electric guitar solo by Spiewak, imaginative Adolfo, and Martins’ impassioned flute – all brewed over Helder’s bass, swirling under and around like a warm mist.
Cuéra (Valiant) from 1912 is an energetic sizzler with flute and piano trading off the brightly syncopated melody.  Vibrant rhythm and a powerful ostinato bass vamp create an ideal setting for scintillating solos by flute, piano and acoustic guitar.  A little less explosive but still deliciously smoking, 1909’s Odeon brings this exceptional album to a joyous conclusion.  Another very popular Nazareth song, this piece clearly displays the sheer jubilation that these musicians feel when playing together.

There is another important lesson taught by Antonio Adolfo here – and that is the profound Truth of the timelessness of music.  Although all of Ernesto Nazareth’s compositions on this album were written more than 100 years ago, Antonio has forged them into a modern-day masterpiece that is totally of the moment.

With a foreword by esteemed jazz writer Doug Ramsey and preface by jazz master, Dave Liebman, this text is a culmination of many prominent voices of the jazz world.”“At the heart of the book, readers are invited onto the bandstand to listen to personal accounts and legendary jazz stories.”“I love this book!!
