THE BREATH COURSES THROUGH US:
A NEW DOCUMENTARY FILM
ABOUT THE NEW YORK ART QUARTET
DIRECTED BY ALAN ROTH

The Breath Courses Through Us (2013) is a new documentary film about the early 1960s avant-garde jazz group, the New York Art Quartet.Directed by Alan Roth, the film focuses on the group’s 35-year reunion, while reaching back through their recollections of their foundations and innovative musical ideas. The year 2014 is the 50th anniversary of this group, and a revolutionary period in jazz music, which declared its existence in the October Revolution in Jazz, in October 1964.

The New York City premiere will take place on Sunday, May 18, 7:30 P.M. at Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Ave. Preceding the premiere will be Michael Snow’s rarely screened 1964 film New York Eye and Ear Control, with the music and images of Albert Ayler, Roswell Rudd, John Tchicai, Don Cherry, Sunny Murray, Gary Peacock. This NYC premiere takes place almost 50 years to the month when the group was officially formed after Tchicai and Rudd met Milford Graves in Michael Snow’s loft.
The U.S. premiere took place on January 31, 2014 at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. with filmmaker Alan Roth and bassist Reggie Workman in attendance (see photo). The world premiere took place at the FIDMarseille-Festival International de Cinéma (http://www.fidmarseille.org) in Marseille, France, in July 2013.

The Breath Courses Through Us mirrors the newly open improvisationary style “free jazz” that subverted the traditional structure of jazz. Unfolding in free time and enveloped in their music, the film helps the viewer better understand the human element of the creative process, by focusing on their interactions in the present.

The New York Art Quartet was a pioneering jazz group in the early 1960s. Consisting of John Tchicai (saxophone), Roswell Rudd (trombone) and Milford Graves (percussion), the group formed in 1964 and lasted only until the end of 1965. This core of three worked with many bass players, including Reggie Workman. Poet Amiri Baraka often read his poetry at their gigs, and read his famous poem, Black Dada Nihilismus, on the group’s first album. Both Workman and Baraka joined the New York Art Quartet for the group’s reunion and are featured in this film as well.

The Breath Courses Through Us brings the viewer directly into the artists’ lives, their exchanges, and discussions with each other during the reunion dinner and on tour. The members of the New York Art Quartet—along with other musicians and a jazz historian—recount their individual history, early group development, and their new musical ideas. Saxophonist Steve Lacy, guitarist Pierre Dørge from Denmark, and jazz historian Ben Young are also featured in the film.

Director Alan Roth explains, “the story of the New York Art Quartet is not only found in the historical details, but in the interplay between artists, the joy they feel in being with each other and performing, and the transcendent nature of their live performances.”

Jazz journalist Francis Davis wrote in the New York Times “Collective improvisation was a cherished ideal in early free jazz, but …this was often just talk. For the New York Art Quartet, collective improvisation was a raison d’etre, the band’s musical starting point.”

The Breath Courses Through Us is the second of Roth’s examination of free jazz. His first film, Inside Out In The Open (2001), is one of the few documentary films on free jazz. It features interviews with 11 free jazz musicians along with live performances and continues to be screened worldwide.

[A deeper examination of the New York Art Quartet is complemented by a 2013 project (not affiliated with this documentary film) by Triplepoint Records(www.triplepointrecords.com. The New York Art Quartet: call it art, contains the uncirculated recordings of the New York Art Quartet (1964-65) in a collectors set  of 5-LPs and a detailed book]

Alan Roth is based in Brooklyn, New York. His filmmaking career began in mid-life, after a career in the U.S. Postal Service in Cleveland, Ohio. Besides these two feature documentary films, he is the video director for Women’s Power Against HIV/AIDS: Love, Sex, & Choices, an innovative on-line project that uses soap opera stories to educate urban Black women about HIV prevention.
Roth also creates shorter video works, with an emphasis on culture and geographic place.

Three Generations of Swing Guitar featuring Bucky Pizzarelli, Frank Vignola and Vinny Raniolo – A simply dazzling show featuring three of the top swing guitarists in the world today. Hailing from three different generations, Bucky Pizzarelli, Frank Vignola & Vinny Raniolo create a lively program with a mix of the expert musicianship of swing guitar and the delightfulness of vaudeville. It’s a sizzling experience that will knock your socks off!
Bucky Pizzarelli is a legendary guitarist who has been a fixture on the jazz scene since the early 1950’s. Pizzarelli is a former member of “The Tonight Show Band” of “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” and frequently collaborated with the likes of Les Paul, Stephane Grappelli and Benny Goodman. As patriarch of a musical family, Pizzarelli is the father of jazz musicians Martin and John Pizzarelli.
Frank Vignola, from his debut album in 1993 with the Concord Jazz label, Vignola has become one of the most extraordinary guitarists performing before the public today. Playing along such names as Madonna, Ringo Starr, Tommy Emmanuel, Wynton Marsalis and guitar legend Les Paul, who named Vignola to his “Five Most Admired Guitar List” for the Wall Street Journal.
Vinny Raniolo exploded on to the music world in the 2000’s as part of a duo with Frank Vignola. Still in his twenties, Raniolo has already toured 14 different countries and performed with such notable names as David Grisman and Tommy Emmanuel, establishing himself as one of the best new guitarists on the scene.Special Guest Ed Laub is a locally renowned guitarist and vocalist whose style has been compared to a blend of Kenny Rankin, Chet Baker and James Taylor all being accompanied by Bucky Pizzarelli.  Ed says, “ that’s not bad company to be associated with. They were amongst the artists to whom I listened to and was most influenced by.  I guess I would say I am honored with that comparison”
Because of Ed’s talent as an accompanist and the fact that he is one of the more accomplished 7 String guitarists, he is sought after by many of the top guitarists in the NYC metropolitan area to back them up and adds a pianistic style that makes a duo sound more like a trio.  Focusing mostly on the American Songbook genre Ed also loves to perform the great Brazilian classics using a nylon 7 string guitar.

NEW CD
Sharon Marie Cline “THIS IS WHERE I WANNA BE”
(Self Produced) Street Date June 3, 2014
There are two primary goals for every great vocalist:  to own each song as one’s personal creation; and to tell a story even more deeply than the lyrics depict.  Outstanding vocalist Sharon Marie Cline clearly achieves both of these goals – vividly proven by her new CD This Is Where I Wanna Be.With her closest musical associates at the core of the journey, Sharon Marie embraces a diverse repertoire of 12 songs, covering nearly 90 years of popular appeal.  Broadway tunes, Brazilian classics, the Great American Songbook, contemporary pop and her original songs co-composed with her pianist and musical director Rich Eames are all lovingly transformed into personal statements of beauty and heartfelt expression.The ensemble possesses that sense of unity and synergy that is essential to this level of artistry, with Eames’ keyboard mastery present on every track.  Bassist Luther Hughes powerfully anchors five tracks, with Adam Cohen, Trevor Ware, Ryan Cross and John Belzaguy bringing their exceptional talents to the remainder.  Jon Stuart – who along with Eames and Sharon Marie created all but one of the delightful arrangements – provides his masterful drumming, spelled by Peter Buck on two tracks; and percussionist Victor Orlando brings his special color to three. Guitarist Jacques Lesure provides his guitar artistry on three as well.In addition, Sharon Marie has brought a number of guests to the proceedings, each chosen specially for the particular flavor they bring to each song.  Much of this participation is in the use of obbligato, beautifully complementing Sharon Marie’s vocals as they richly embellish her impeccably delivered song lines.  Interplay and sensitivity are the dominant qualities that are present throughout the entire album.  Sharon Marie’s singing is totally responsive to her musicians – and vice versa – as her beautiful sensuous voice coils sinuously around the ensemble creating a powerful oneness that gives each song a most impressive depth.Her voice is richly melodic, never strained and always impeccably phrased, enhancing the lyrics with moods and emotion that tell so much more than the words define.  And her versatility allows her to cover the broad expanse of material, bringing songs that go back as far as the 1920s right into the middle of 2014.  Ballads, blues, Brazilian rhythms, groove swing and up-tempo jazz are all fully in her command.  The entire history of jazz vocalizing is contained in Sharon Marie’s style, and while the influences of many of the giants can be heard in her sound, the essence is fully her own.With such a lustrous, mellifluous voice, ballads are an ideal platform for Sharon Marie’s expressiveness.  She employs a style that evokes Sarah Vaughan, Betty Carter and Nina Simone, stretching lyrics into deeply resonant long tones that wring every bit of emotional content out of the lyrics.  Brazilian composer Ivan Lins’ Love Dance is built on Eames’ gently punctuating electric piano, Adam Cohen’s darkly hued bass and Stuart’s sensitive drums and percussion, providing a gently Brazilian feel under the lovely vocal.  Green, Heyman and Rose’s 1932 classic I Wanna Be Loved – previously popularized by Billy Eckstine and Dinah Washington – is treated to Sharon Marie’s special brand of passionate warmth. Eames’ cascading piano, Hughes’ deep wood and Stuart’s subtle brushwork lay the perfect setting for Sharon Marie’s emotive vocal.  The Gershwins’HHow Long Has This Been Going On? (from 1928’s Rosalie) is a spellbinding duet with Eames.  The powerful connection between the two consummate artists is fully apparent in this heart-wrenching rendition, with Sharon Marie’s voice coating the piano in a gossamer mist.Delicacy in a slightly more up-tempo mode is felt on Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars(Corcovado) by the immortal Antonio Carlos Jobim, with English lyrics by Gene Lees.  A serene samba, Sharon Marie’s voice tenderly caresses the lyrics and melody, with Derek Bombeck’s  softly rhythmic guitar, Eames’ piano and Stuart’s gentle percussion providing the ideal texture.  Another Brazilian groove is in play on the Cline/Eames original title track This Is Where I Wanna Be.  A tranquil bossa-ish feeling is created by Lesure, Eames, Stuart and John Belzaguy’s deeply syncopated bass.  Rob Hardt’s warm, full bodied flute adds a special touch both in his obbligato caresses and fine solo.

Their other original Sugar On My Lips (with lyrics by Sharon Marie and Mark Winkler) is a delicious slow groove blues, perfectly suited for Sharon Marie’s breathy sensuousness.  With tantalizing syncopation in her delivery and Eames’ organ wail, Lesure’s Grant Green-ish soulfulness, Trevor Ware’s deep bass groove and Orlando’s congas, this is deliciously nasty and delightfully provocative.

The gorgeous DePaul and Raye classic , You Don’t Know What Love Is has been performed by virtually every great jazz vocalist and instrumentalist – almost always as a ballad.  Sharon Marie turns the tables here, opening as a ballad, but quickly sliding into an infectiously rhythmic, bluesy groover – built on Ware’s suspended bass ostinato, Lesure’s soulful guitar and Reinhold Schwarzwald’s potent tenor sax, and with some perfectly placed vocal overdubs by Sharon Marie.

A similar rhythmic thrust is employed on Cole Porter’s Why Can’t You Behave?(from 1948’s Kiss Me Kate) with Hughes’ sprightly walking bass centering the potent rhythm section for Sharon Marie’s spirited vocal.  Another Broadway hit – Rogers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific, 1949 – provides Happy Talk, a jaunty bouncer that showcases Sharon Marie’s vigorous up-tempo style.  Lee Thornberg’s harmon-muted trumpet solo and obbligato contributions add a special flare.

That up-tempo groove is also the mode for Rose & Hirsch’s 1926 hit Deed I Do.  A nicely syncopated swinger built on Hughes’ brightly waling bass and Stuart’s fervid drumming, Sharon Marie brings the old song into the present in sparkling fashion. The eminent Tamir Hendelman arranged 1934’s If Dreams Come True (Sampson, Goodman and Kurtz), in a medium up groove with Bram Glik’s robust tenor sax on hand for some striking unison lines with Sharon Marie in scat mode.
Jumping ahead 40 years Sharon Marie shows how she can take a song heavily identified with its originator and make it entirely her own.  Neil Sedaka’s Laughter In The Rain is a gently effervescent excursion, with Ryan Cross’ cello and Schwarzwald’s tenor sax providing lavish coloring and flavor.

A prominent member of the L.A. music scene, Sharon Marie is poised for international stardom. Of this, her 3rd album, she states “This album is a passion piece and a coming of age project for me. It embodies my fantasies, my dreams, my history, my optimism and my soul. There is more and more to express each day, yet this album is a launching point. So quite literally: This Is Where I Wanna Be.”

Tamir Hendelman
to Perform Gershwin’s Rhapsody In Blue
With The Winston-Salem Symphony
May 3, 4 and 6

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (April 24, 2014) – As the final Classics concert of the 2013-2014 season, the Winston-Salem Symphony, Robert Moody, Music Director, will perform a concert highlighting early 20th century masterpieces by George Gershwin and Maurice Ravel.

The concert will begin with Ravel’s La valse, poème chorégraphique and Le Tombeau de Couperin, which explore the dramatically changing world of the early 20th century. Associate Conductor Matthew Troy will conduct La valse, poème chorégraphique, with Maestro Moody conducting the rest of the program. The second half of the concert will feature beloved American composer Gershwin’s An American in Paris and Rhapsody in Blue with guest artist and pianist Tamir Hendelman. These popular pieces have delighted audiences since they debuted in the 1920s.

“Gershwin and Ravel admired and were influenced by each other’s music,” said Maestro Moody. “The impact of each composer on the other’s work is clearly evident in their music. This concert is a great way to experience these two great masters firsthand.”

Under the baton of Maestro Moody, the concerts will take place on Saturday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, May 4 at 3 p.m.; and Tuesday, May 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Stevens Center of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts at 405 W. Fourth Street. Tickets range from $15 – $62 and are available in advance by calling the Symphony Box Office at 336-464-0145 or online at WSsymphony.org <http://www.wssymphony.org/> .

A “Music Lovers’ Luncheon,” a fun and informative pre-concert lunch with Maestro Moody and guest artist Tamir Hendelman will take place Friday, May 2, 2014 at noon at The Piedmont Club at 200 West Second Street in downtown Winston-Salem. The luncheon is a great opportunity to learn more about the concert in a relaxed atmosphere. Reservations are required for the Music Lovers’ Luncheon and can be made by calling 336.724.7077. Club membership is not required.

Award-winning jazz pianist Tamir Hendelman has always been fascinated with the intersection of jazz and classical music, an interest nourished by study with boundary-crossing composer/pianists Clare Fischer, Joe Harnell and Billy Childs.

Born in Tel Aviv, Hendelman began keyboard studies at age 6, moved to the U.S. in 1984 and won Yamaha’s national keyboard competition two years later. Concerts in Japan and the Kennedy Center followed. Drawn to the impressionistic and jazz harmonies of composers such as Ravel and Gershwin, he studied at the Tanglewood Institute and received a B.M. in Music Composition from Eastman School of Music in 1993. After a brief period exploring film scoring, he focused on the art of jazz piano, forming his own trio, which features original compositions, bebop, blues, and Brazilian music. Since 2000 he has toured the U.S., Japan and Europe with his trio and as a member of the Jeff Hamilton Trio and the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra.

Hendelman was a soloist with the Henry Mancini Orchestra in 1999. In 2001 he premiered John Clayton’s version of Oscar Peterson’s
Canadiana Suite at the Hollywood Bowl with the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra.  Peterson wrote in his online jounral:  “It was a satisfying but strange feeling…to hear a new young voice make some exhilarating and thoughtful solos in the spaces that I used to occupy in those pieces… I look forward to hearing more from him.”

Hendelman also has become a first-rate arranger and accompanist for some of today’s premier vocalists, such as Natalie Cole, Roberta Gambarini, and Jackie Ryan. He has accompanied Barbra Streisand in her return to jazz on Love Is The Answer (Columbia, 2009), at the Village Vanguard as well as on her 2012 North American orchestral tour. He also musically directed classical vocalist Julia Migenes’ genre-bending release, Alter Ego.   In 2011, he premiered John Clayton’s version of Rhapsody In Blue at the Fujitsu-Concord Jazz Festival.

Since 2005, Hendelman has been on the jazz faculty of UCLA and has conducted numerous workshops in universities and music programs in the US and abroad. He has released two recordings as a leader of his trio: Playground (Swing Bros, 2008) and Destinations (Resonance 2010). Reaching #1 on the jazz charts, Destinations takes listeners along on a voyage of musical discovery.

For Immediate Release

April 14, 2014 Jack Kleinsinger’s Highlights In Jazz, New York’s longest running jazz concert series, concludes it’s 42nd season on Thursday May 8, 2014 at 8:00 PM at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center at Borough Manhattan Community College, 199 Chambers Street, NY, 10007 with a celebration of Brothers In Jazz featuring The Heath Brothers – Jimmy Heath and Albert “Tootie” Heath and Peter Anderson & Will Anderson Performing The Music of the Dorsey Brothers featuring Wycliffe Gordon plus, as in all Highlights In Jazz concerts, a surprise special guest.

Now in their fifth decade together, The Heath Brothers, remains one of the most enduring groups performing in jazz history. First assembled in 1975, the band, which originally featured tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath, bassist Percy Heath and drummer/percussionist Albert “Tootie” Heath (along with pianist Stanley Cowell) garnered international recognition with their debut Strata East recording Marching On. Since the 2005 passing of eldest brother Percy (well known for his forty year tenure with The Modern Jazz Quartet), the group has gone on with bassist David Wong, along with long time pianist Jeb Patton. Playing an engaging repertoire distinguished by the classic compositions Jimmy and the exhilarating rhythms of Tootie the ensemble persists as one of the most satisfying bands in music today, living up to the title of their 2009 Jazz Legacy CD release Endurance.

Recipient of the 1990 Highlights In Jazz Award, the annual honor presented by Kleinsinger “to celebrate living jazz artists who have made an enormous contribution to the jazz art form and are loved and respected by their fellow artists and jazz aficionados alike,” NEA Jazz Master Jimmy Heath, who will be making his eleventh Highlights appearance with this performance, praises  the impresario and his series, noting, ”Jack’s  a great respectful presenter over many years and we always enjoy playing for his audiences.  His concerts are both well organized and well attended.”

Sharing the bill with the Heath Brothers will be Peter and Will Anderson (Performing The Music of the Dorsey Brothers), making their third Highlights In Jazz appearance. Will Anderson declares, “My brother and I are really looking forward to this performance.  It’s going to be a dream for us to play beside Jimmy and Tootie Heath.  The Heath Brothers have been a huge inspiration to us.” The remarkable young siblings, hailed byThe New York Times as “virtuosos on clarinet and saxophone,” have received widespread praise for their Off Broadway jazz productions Artie Shaw at 100The Fabulous Dorseys and Le Jazz Hot. They will reprise their swinging renditions of compositions by big band giants Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey with an exciting ensemble featuring Wynton Marsalis Sextet/ and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra alumnus, trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, who will be performing for the dedicated Highlights crowd for the  fifteenth time.

As in all Highlights In Jazz concerts the show will also feature a surprise guest, chosen from among the music’s finest players.  Some of the biggest stars in jazz who have appeared as special guests in previous years have been Eubie Blake, Cab Calloway, Dizzy Gillespie, Earl Hines, Branford Marsalis, Carmen McRae, Gerry Mulligan and George Shearing.
Tickets for individual concerts may be ordered for $45.00, students $40.00
