Jordan just received her master’s degree in jazz studies, which was the culmination of her 6 years spent at Juilliard. « With this chapter of my life closing, and new doors opening, I am looking forward to starting work on new projects, including my debut recording as a leader to be released in spring of 2015, » said Pettay.

 

ABOUT JORDAN PETTAY

Jordan Pettay is a New York – based jazz saxophonist, composer and educator.

She has had the privilege of performing with artists like Herbie Hancock, Christian McBride, Terence Blanchard, Joe Lovano, and Benny Golson among others, and has traveled worldwide throughout North America, Central America, Asia, Europe, and Australia performing and teaching.

Jordan most recently returned from a weeklong residency at the Guiseppe Verdi Conservatory in Torino, Italy in conjunction with the Torino Jazz Festival, where she conducted master classes at the conservatory and performed on the main stage of the festival. In late June, Jordan joined forces with the New York Jazz Symposium, a company started by educator and drummer extraordinaire Carl Allen, to conduct workshops in Melbourne, Australia.

Born in Wichita, Kansas but raised in the suburbs of Ft. Worth, Texas, Jordan began playing the alto saxophone at the age of 11 and quickly caught the jazz bug after being exposed to recordings of Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker and having a series of gifted and passionate teachers who inspired her to pursue music.

Jordan attended Booker T. Washington High School for the Visual and Performing Arts in Dallas, where she toured nationally with groups under the direction of Bart Marantz and won a number of Downbeat Student Music Awards. As a senior in high school she was selected as lead alto in the Texas All-State Jazz Band. In 2008, Jordan moved to New York City to continue her musical training at the Juilliard School and studied under the tutelage of Ron Blake, Steve Wilson, Carl Allen, Rodney Jones, and others. While at Juilliard, Jordan had the distinct honor of being awarded the inaugural Gerry and Franca Mulligan Scholarship.

 

Since her arrival to New York, Jordan has had the opportunity to perform with her own band at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, and has appeared as a sideman at such venues as The Appel Room (formerly the Allen Room), Rose Theater, the Iridium, Smoke, the Jazz Standard, and the Blue Note. In 2011, Jordan made her Radio City Music Hall debut, performing with country music star Trisha Yearwood. Jordan has also had the unique opportunity of playing the national anthem for an NFL football game at NY Giants Stadium.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ALFONSO VILALLONGA AT 

THE CUTTING ROOM

Barcelona-based performer and composerAlfonso Vilallonga returns to New York City for the U.S. release of his latest album, « Alphosphore Variations. » Vilallonga will perform at The Cutting Room, 44 East 32nd Street, on Saturday, July 26th at 7:30pm. Tickets are $20 in advance, available through The Cutting Room’s websitehttp://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/606857.

Moscow 57 is releasing Vilallonga’s latest album, Alphoshore Variations, in the US, and will host a party in his honor on Friday, July 25th.

Alfonso Vilallonga and Moscow 57 have a long history. M57 owner Ellen Kaye first met Alfonso 20 years ago when he was performing in New York at The Ballroom in Chelsea and instantly fell in love with his music. Ellen sought to reconnect with Alfonso, and found that way through Moscow 57’s podcasts, the M57 On Air Urban Salon, which can be heard athttp://www.moscow57.com/radio.html. In episode 6 of the podcast, Ellen interviewed Alfonso and played songs from his album Alphosphore Variations. This was the first time the songs were heard in the United States.

ABOUT ALFONSO VILALLONGA 

Alfonso Vilallonga is an internationally touring singer, songwriter, musician, composer and actor, born in Barcelona, Spain, to a musical family. He sings fluently in Spanish, Catalan, French, English and German. Vilallonga earned his Masters in composition and singing from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. His influences include but are not limited to Jacques Brel, Tom Waits, Nino Rota, Boris Vian, Kurt Weill, Freddie Mercury, Randy Newman, Édith Piaf, and Thelonious Monk. He lived in the US for 10 years, during which time he recorded two albums: At the Edge and The End of an Era.

In 1993, he returned to Spain, where he found that the music scene, in his own words, « incited suicide. » Alfonso instead chose to release his first album in Spanish, « Bugui del Conformista,’ and began performing in Catalonia and Spain. His subsequent albums are « Adultus » (Cantata, L’Auditori 2005), « En vivo y en directo » (G3G Records 2006), « Libérame » (K Industria 2009), and his latest, « Alphosphore Variations » (2013), which is being released in the United States by Moscow 57 to coincide with this concert.

It was thanks to the encouragement of Isabel Coixet that he began scoring films, most notably, « Blancanieves » (2012), which is a silent film, nominated for Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award and « Transsiberian » (2008). Vilallonga composed the music for three films, a documentary and a theatrical work for Coixet. He worked for Fernando Leon de Aranoa and Brad Anderson, among other directors. Vilallonga has written music and lyrics for several musical theater projects, including Dagoll Dagom’s « Aloma, » and for his own shows, such as « Turning Point, » which he describes as « the first musical palindrome in history. »

Pablo Ziegler New Tango Ensemble
with the Paul Taylor Dance Company
Fri. August 1, 2014 at 7:30pm
at Lincoln Center Out of Doors
Damrosch Park Bandshell

More info

Latin Grammy-winning pianist Pablo Ziegler and his New Tango Ensemble join forces with one of the titans of modern dance, the Paul Taylor Dance Company, at the Damrosch Park Bandshell on Friday, August 1 for Lincoln Center Out of Doors.
The evening opens with a performance by Pablo Ziegler’s New Tango Ensemble, who will present several Ziegler compositions, as well as works by Astor Piazzolla.  The evening’s second half sees the Paul Taylor Dance Company performing seminal revivals, including the evening’s centerpiece, Piazzolla Caldera (1997).  For this evening’s performance, Pablo Ziegler and his ensemble will perform the Piazzolla Caldera score live with PTDC in a World Premiere collaboration commissioned by Lincoln Center in celebration of PTDC’s 60th anniversary season.
Described as “one of Taylor’s most astonishing…creations,” (The Financial Times, London), Piazzolla Caldera is Taylor’s poetic exploration of tango’s sultry, raging essence.  Ziegler, who performed in tango grand-maestro Astor Piazzolla’s legendary quintet for over a decade and appeared on iconic Piazzolla recordings, is considered one of the most important figures in Argentine New Tango, the vibrant hybrid of classic tango and American jazz.

Pablo Ziegler and the Paul Taylor Dance Company will then reunite at University of Minnesota’s Northrop auditorium in Minneapolis on September 27 for a repeat performance of Piazzolla Caldera with live score performed by Ziegler and his ensemble.  While in Minneapolis, Ziegler will also perform with his ensemble at the Dakota Jazz Club on September 26.

Pablo Ziegler & Christopher O’Riley: Two To Tango

Ziegler’s upcoming touring season continues with the premiere of Two To Tango, a new two-piano program with Christopher O’Riley at the Catskill Mountain Foundation in Hunter, New York, on August 31.  Following their touring success with Los Tangueros, a program of Piazzolla tunes arranged for two pianos, Ziegler and O’Riley reunite with Two To Tango, this time highlighting Ziegler’s own compositions in two-piano arrangements.  Subsequent US touring for Two To Tango includes dates at George Mason University (Fairfax, VA), Troy Savings Bank Music Hall (Troy, NY) and many more.

Pablo Ziegler profiled on New Music Box

Ziegler is the recent subject of a major profile from NewMusicBox, a publication of New Music USA.  Read the full article here.
Upcoming Season Highlights
Other season highlights include an appearance by Ziegler and his trio as guest soloists with the Colorado Symphony in Denver on February 20, 2015.  The Pablo Ziegler Quartet for New Tango headlines the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival in August, with other upcoming dates at Duke UniversitySoka Performing Arts Center in California and more.
