…”for this third Mack Avenue album he leads an all-star quartet with trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, bassist Scott Colley and drummer Brian Blade. Apart from Chick Corea’s ‘Crystal Silence’ and Kenny Barron’s ‘The Black Angel’, the themes are all Childs’ own, movie-score inspired, expansive and symphonic in scale, with Ambrose Akinmusire’s warmth and humanity bringing them all to life in a fine, organic collaboration.” – Hi Fi News & Record Reviews |

Christian McBride Interviewed in The New York Times
|
McBride Reflects on his 18th album as a bandleader and the bountiful road that led him here, in this in-depth interview |
|
|
Photo: Edölia Stroud for The New York Times |
|
“New Jawn is one of McBride’s most satisfying bands. Featuring Marcus Strickland on tenor saxophone and bass clarinet, Josh Evans on trumpet and Nasheet Waits on drums, it’s a quartet without a chordal instrument that convincingly encompasses elastic post-bop, dirge-like abstraction and strutting funk, sometimes uniting diverse strategies within the same piece.” – The New York Times |

East Axis – No Subject |
|
CD / Digital Out Now
|
|
|
|
East Axis is a visionary improvising quartet consisting of renowned musicians, Gerald Cleaver (drums), Kevin Ray (bass), Scott Robinson (sax) and Matthew Shipp (piano). In its staggering diversity and dauntless sense of discovery, their sophomore album No Subject represents the fluidity and limitless nature of jazz as a whole. |
|
|
|
East Axis (Gerald Cleaver, Kevin Ray, Scott Robinson & Matthew Shipp) |
“We’re just trying to be four guys with an interest in a lot of different music and some improvisational prowess, that can get together, have fun and generate stuff that hopefully people find interesting and provocative and stimulating to listen to.”

|
When it pops up in one’s email inbox, “No Subject” doesn’t imply that the attached missive is devoid of content; it simply means the content is unknowable until the message is opened up and delved into. No Subject thus makes a slyly appropriate title for the sophomore release by the formidable jazz quartet East Axis. Where these four wide-ranging and inventive musicians are concerned, the shape a piece of music will take is never clear until its performance is well underway. |

East Axis (Gerald Cleaver, Kevin Ray, Scott Robinson & Matthew Shipp) |
Welcome the Quartet to the Mack Avenue/Brother Mister Family with New Single “Metal Sounds” |
|
|
Photo: Anna Yatskevich |
|
“Metal Sounds” is the first single from East Axis‘s upcoming album, No Subject – due out January 27. This track’s mammoth grind pointedly suggests the assault of crushing doom-metal guitars. It speaks to the exploratory vision of East Axis, as described by pianist Matthew Shipp, “We’re just trying to be four guys with an interest in a lot of different music and some improvisational prowess, that can get together, have fun and generate stuff that hopefully people find interesting and provocative and stimulating to listen to.” |

Metro Detroit and the global jazz community lost one of its greatest champions this week. Known by many in the arts community as the “Angel of Jazz,” Gretchen C. Valade will be
Carhartt Legacy Daughter of Gretchen S. Stearns and Wylie Carhartt, president of Carhartt from 1937 to 1957, Valade was immersed in the family business from a young age. At one point, speaking to her involvement with Carhartt, Valade noted, “I was a Carhartt, and that’s what I was supposed to do. My duty as a family member was to contribute to the family business.”
In 1948 Valade married Grosse Pointe native Robert C. Valade who later served as Carhartt’s president for four decades. While raising their three children, Christopher, Gretchen, and Mark, Valade remained an active participant and advisor in the Carhartt business as a member of the board of directors since 1958. After the death of her husband in 1998, she assumed the role of chairman of the board. Today her son Mark, is the chief executive officer and chairman of the board at Carhartt. Of what the company’s longevity, popularity, and success would mean to her grandfather, Valade once stated, “He would have loved it. My grandfather would’ve been very proud that the company has lasted more than a century – through the good times and the bad.”
“Angel of Jazz”
In 1999, at the age of 74, Valade combined her entrepreneurial spirit with her lifelong love of
Music Legacy of Detroit Valade continued to support the local jazz community by donating to jazz studies at Wayne
In addition to the festival and record company, Valade at the age of 82, opened the Dirty Dog
Valade owned several other Grosse Pointe Farms-based businesses, including Morning Glory Coffee & Pastries and Capricious women’s shoe & clothing store. She also owned Sweet Melissa’s Café in Sanibel Island, Fla.
When asked why she took on so many ventures at an age when most are enjoying retirement, she stated, “I prefer not to be bored. I wanted to occupy my time surrounded by the things important to me, my family, my passions, my joys, and my community. And for me, being busy is a big part of a long life.” Valade’s business knowledge translated to a myriad of philanthropic endeavors. Valade was an ardent supporter of service organizations such as Ascension St. John’s Hospital, COTS of Detroit, the Humane Society of Huron County, and the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation. Gretchen C. Valade was predeceased by her son Christopher and is survived by her daughter, Gretchen Garth (Stix), her son, Mark Valade (Molly), and her six grandchildren: Byron, Catherine, Damon, Kyle, Gretchen Rose, Cameron as well as her nine great grandchildren. Private services will be held. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to COTS Detroit https://cotsdetroit.org/ or the Humane Society of Huron Valley https://www.hshv.org/. |

Preorder Now: Christian McBride – The Movement Revisited: A Musical Portrait of Four Icons |
Available January 13, 2023 on Vinyl (2-LP) for the First Time! |
|
|
|
Christian McBride’s magnum opus available on vinyl for the first time. The Movement Revisited: A Musical Portrait of Four Icons is culminating documentation of a richly inspired piece – lauding four key figures of the Civil Rights Movement: Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Rosa Parks and Muhammad Ali. Marshaling his ever-sharpening skills as a composer, arranger, conductor, musician and lyricist, Christian McBride has created a historically and culturally illuminating five-part suite for an 18-piece big band, chorus and narrators that places the motivating forces as well as the goals of the Civil Rights Movement within a powerfully relevant artistic context. It is a one-from-the-heart project McBride was, apparently, destined to undertake. This recording of The Movement Revisited marks the addition of a fifth movement, “Apotheosis,” which acknowledges the election of Barack Obama as the first African American President of the United States. |
