WINNING SPINSTHE BREADTH AND RANGE BET-

ween saxophonists today can be enor-mous, as illustrated in the pair whose newalbums comprise this Winning Spins. TomTallitsch adheres firmly to the post-bopmodern mainstream, his tenor sax embrac-ing the rich, robust tones of tenors from thehard bop era. Daniel Bennett's alto sax,however, veers from mainstream moderntraditions in both his piquant tone and fre-quent use of electronic effects, plus a pen-chant to echo the idiosyncratic sounds ofplayers ranging from Ornette Coleman onthe avant-garde side to David Sanborn onthe jazz-rock.

Gratitude, Tom Tallitsch (PosiTone),spotlights not only the tenor saxist'sprowess as a player, from ballads to burn-ers, but also his skills as a composer andleader, as he guides the CD's program withunerring skill. Eight of the 11 tracks hereare Tom's, and they are all more than justframes for improvisation. He has alsotaken three songs from classic rock bandsand reshaped them as convincing jazzvehicles. The basic lineup is an impressivequartet, with the leader's tenor joined bypianist Jon Davis, bassist Peter Brendlerand drummer Rudy Royston. On two of therock songs they are joined by organistBrian Charette.

The title tune, "Gratitude," is an infec-tious ballad in an R&B vein, with the req-uisite backbeat from Rudy and an opening,gospel-flavored piano from Jon, with Petercontributing a resonant bass solo, pizzica-to, to usher in Tom's soulful, climaxingchoruses.

The churchy, R&B feel is also prevalenton Led Zeppelin's "Thank You," thankspredominantly to Brian and Jon who com-bine organ and piano like a gospel band.Brian's organ is more of a stealth support-er on Stevie Nicks' Fleetwood Mac song,"Gold Dust Woman," rising from deep inthe background to propel Tom's final tenorchoruses. The other rock song, The Beatles'ballad "Because," rises from an original,caressing tenor sax limning of the Lennon-McCartney melody to feistier tenor andpiano solos before simmering down to astately out-chorus of the theme.

The leader's other originals cover a widerange, from the tension-release alternationof a hard bop march beat and up-tempo 4/4on "Refuge" and the soul funky vibe of"Rust Belt," sparked by Rudy's emphaticsnap, to the post-bop verve of "AlternateSide," the longest track although it seems

to fly, and the jangly odd-meter, Coltrane-inspired "Oblivion." Throughout, whetherembracing a warm ballad tone or digginginto the swinging, hard-driving heart ofcookers like "Terrain," Tom plays with amastery and enthusiasm that makes thisan album honoring the tradition whilebeing distinctively now.

Sinking Houseboat Confusion, DanielBennett Group (Manhattan DaylightMedia), presents music that is on the cuspof jazz, rock, electronica and even contem-porary concert music, i.e. Steve Reich andJohn Cage. And this group does it all witha trio/quartet: Daniel Bennett on alto sax,flute, clarinet, piano and ukulele; NatJanoff, electric guitar and Matthew Frick,drums. Also seemingly fully integratedinto the band on this CD is electric bassistEddy Khaimovich, as are various electron-ic effects like delay, echo, wah-wah andover-dubbing.

In keeping with Daniel’s, and hisgroup's, avant pop sensibilities, this CD isthe length of an old 12-inch LP, with onlythe final song of the ten here breaking thefive-minute limit. But the band's range iswider than on previous outings which werecharacterized largely by selections with asurf-rock beat. Here, only two tracks arepropelled by that rhythm: the title tune inits first, hypnotically catchy, of two ver-sions heard, and the opener "John LizardComes Home."

As those titles and others like "DoctorDuck Builds a Patio" and "AnimalsDiscussing Life Changes" suggest, Daniel'sprogram of originals is infused withhumor, often tongue-in-cheek. The formeris in a ratchety 7/4 time, with alto sax andguitar solos altered through electronics,while the latter features a folksy, Celtic-tinged beat, Daniel's one clarinet lead andsolo and Nat's only straight-ahead electricjazz guitar solo.

The Celtic beat also appears on "Paintthe Fence," with Daniel on flute, which healso plays with haunting effect in counter-point overdubs to his alto sax on othertracks. A highlight of the album is poetMichele Herman reading her "LittleDisappointments of Modern Life" toDaniel's moving, mostly alto sax, accompa-niment.

Tom Tallitsch leads his band at TheSide Door, Oct. 7. Daniel BennettGroup is at Blue Note, Oct. 16.

OUT OF PILES OF NOTEBOOKSand loose notation paper, surrounded

by a netting of music stands and framedgig announcements for Art Farmer andEddie Harris, the shadow of a grand pianorises like the phoenix. The scene is morethan a snapshot of a daily routine; for life-long bass player and emerging composerRufus Reid, it's a symbol of his enduringartistic calling.

A virtuoso of any instrument can spenda lifetime developing as a player alone. AsRufus continues to evolve as a master ofthe bass—his résumé includes extendedassociations with Dexter Gordon, MelLewis and Thad Jones, Nancy Wilson, andStan Getz—the 72-year-old artist refusesto disengage from the child-like curiositythat drew him to the instrument as ayoung man. That steadfast exploration hasled him to confront the next phase of hismusical development: composition.

"I'm probably smitten with the processof composition, more than anything," hesays. "Where to start—who's going to playit? What tempo is it going to be? What reg-ister? It can be very daunting, the process,but I love that. I think a lot of great com-posers love the process."

When he realized he wanted to write,Rufus began filling his days with Ravel,Bartók and Debussy to complement hisyears spent immersed in Jimmy Heath,Benny Golson and Thad Jones—fromwhom he learned his first lessons in com-posing.

"All those people who were players—Imean in-the-trenches players—J. J.Johnson, Bill Evans, Gil Evans," he says."And when they wrote, it was differentthan people who were just writing data.And I think it makes a difference, how yourespond to it."

Rufus' first long-form composition QuietPride: The Elizabeth Catlett Project(Motéma 2014) is a testament to his under-standing of how viscerally people—andplayers—respond, and how he could evokethat response. Inspired by musical contem-poraries Jane Ira Bloom, known to com-

pose pieces based on works by Pollack,Miró or Kandinsky, and Jim McNeely,commissioned to write ten pieces inspiredby ten works of Paul Klee, Rufus seized anopportunity.

In addition to releasing a record thatwould honor Catlett's work as a visualartist, he realized he could treat theCatlett undertaking as a device for writ-ing—drawing external inspiration, andreserving his own judgment on the pro-ject's development.

"If you write a lot, then almost every-thing starts to sound the same because youhave these little clichés," he says. "You sitat the piano and you want to write a 'hip'piece so you write a 'hip' chord—whateverthat means—so you have one hip chord,now you need another hip chord, andbefore you know it, you hit a brick wallbecause you're trying to judge it, immedi-ately."

Beyond releasing self-judgment, anequally vital practice Rufus embracedyears ago is not to play—or write—for any-one else. "I have learned to not try toplease anyone," he says, "because thatmeans I've diluted my process." A lifetimein the making, his process for both playingand composing is a personal synthesis ofdevices and components he has adopted orcreated, that draws inspiration from hismost beloved mentors. His voice, however,remains distinct.

Though his respective reputations as aplayer and a composer might be uniquelyseparate for the moment, Rufus' commit-ment to confronting new artistic territoryelicits the same heavy acknowledgementfrom players and writers, and all theartists in between. The positive feedback

S P O T LDARCY JAMES ARGUE & SECRET SOCIETYNATIONAL SAWDUST / OCTOBER 2Composer/bandleader Darcy James Argue's 18-piece ensemble Secret Society is a bigband but their output features elements of rock, Latin and other genres not normallyassociated with such format. Since moving to the United States from his nativeVancouver in 2000 to study composition at the New England Conservatory, Darcy hassteadily crafted a sound that is bold, beautiful and defies categorization. Darcy cameinto prominence in 2009 with the release of his debut album Infernal Machines, whichreceived numerous accolades including a Grammy Nomination for Best Large JazzEnsemble. At National Sawdust, Darcy performs his latest album Real Enemies, a con-cept record about conspiracy theories. EW

ESPERANZA SPALDINGMAYO PERFORMING ARTS CENTER / OCTOBER 8Compelled by a tendency toward self-reflection, Esperanza Spalding continues todevelop an evolving mastery of her music. The four-time Grammy award-winning bassplayer, composer and singer leaves room for exploration of both sound and self. Herunique sound has allowed her to play with artistic visionaries from Prince to HerbieHancock. Curiosity always has been a hallmark of her playing and composing, and thelive performance of her latest record Emily's D+Evolution (Concord 2016) featuringguitar master Matt Stevens and drummers Justin Tyson and Karriem Riggins, chal-lenges traditional confines of music and explores a merging of mediums. Under theadvisement of stage director and playwright Will Weigler, Esperanza's live perform-ance engages narrative, movement and stage design, among other reveries of hermusic. SJ

LARRY RIDLEY JAZZ LEGACY ENSEMBLEFIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, MOUNT VERNON / OCTOBER 9Bassist Larry Ridley is one of jazz's premiere educators and a player who has alwaysbeen dedicated to keeping a band swinging. He headed the jazz program at RutgersLivingston College in the 1970s and is currently Jazz Artist in Residence at the NewYork Public Library's Schomburg Center. His Jazz Legacy Ensemble is a flexible unithe's been leading since the mid-1980s. Larry has played with many of the giants of jazzover the last more than half century, from Duke Ellington, Benny Carter and WesMontgomery, to Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman and Thelonious Monk. Although theLegacy Ensemble's personnel for this gig was not available at press time, listeners canbe assured it will be a first-rate, swinging band. GK

HARRY ALLENDIZZY'S CLUB COCA-COLA / OCTOBER 12-13Harry Allen hit the ground running three decades ago as a talented swing tenor play-er with a burnished sound, a love of the great melodies and an uncanny ability to fitinto every musical situation. Mainstream swing remains his forte, but don't fence himin. He's also one of today's finest tenor players in the Brazilian jazz idiom and leads anew four-saxophone band. Harry reveals his more forceful side in collaborations withformer mentor Scott Hamilton with an energy recalling Al Cohn and Zoot Sims, or evenan Albert Ammons-Sonny Stitt summit. He also loves playing with singers. At Dizzy's,he digs into the Great American Songbook with singer Hilary Gardner, pianist RossanoSportiello, bassist Joel Forbes and drummer Alvin Atkinson. KF

DANIEL FREEDMANBRIC / OCTOBER 13 and JAZZ STANDARD / OCTOBER 26Daniel Freedman carries on in the tradition of drummers who have proved that theyare musicians rather than just beat makers. Recordings for the Fresh Sound/NewTalent label initially thrust him into the spotlight. As a sideman he's been workingalongside the Cohens, Angelique Kidjo, Lionel Loueke and Paquito D'Rivera. His newCD Imagine That (Anzic) extends his leadership and ability as a composer. A crisp,tight drumming style allows him to navigate and command an Afro-Centric rhythmicflow, particularly in his world music settings. Daniel plays with the Michael LeonhartOrchestra for the BRIC Jazz Fest in Brooklyn and has a CD release party at JazzStandard with guitarist Gilad Hekselman, pianist Jason Lindner, bassist Omer Avitaland Brazilian percussionist Gilmar Gomes.

ARTURO O'FARRILL AFRO-LATIN JAZZ ORCHESTRA YORK COLLEGE / OCTOBER 15Son of the gifted Afro-Cuban composer/arranger Chico O'Farrill, pianist ArturoO'Farrill followed in his father's footsteps. Born in Mexico and raised in New York City,he was immersed in both Latin and American jazz. The young man soon developed intoa virtuoso pianist, which made him the obvious choice for his father's orchestra. AfterChico's death in 2001, Arturo continued to lead his father's orchestra, while simulta-neously establishing his own approach to creating an Afro-Latin band that drew fromadditional lands around the world; he disbanded Chico's band a decade later. WhileArturo has recorded as a solo pianist and with small groups, he is most widely knownfor leading his high energy Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra, which has earned him severalGrammy Awards and critical acclaim.

RAY GALLONMEZZROW JAZZ CLUB / OCTOBER 28-29A sensitive and receptive virtuoso on his instrument, piano player Ray Gallon imbuesstandard tunes with the same harmonic sophistication and lyricism he brings to hisown compositions. His lines search every chorus for new directions and syncopations,while his comping revitalizes each progression with a style that's at once supportiveand responsive. Ray's uncommon mastery has allowed him to travel the world, and playand record with a range of such unique voices in modern music as Ron Carter, JaneMonheit, Lionel Hampton, Art Farmer, Ben Street, Wycliffe Gordon, Peter Bernsteinand Benny Golson. For an evening of standard tunes and original compositions, Ray'strio features Dezron Douglas on bass and Rodney Green on drums. SJ

DANIELA SCHÄCHTERJAZZ AT KITANO / OCTOBER 27Daniela Schächter is a rising star on the scene as a pianist and songstress, even thoughshe's been performing and teaching in NYC for two decades. A 2005 winner of the MaryLou Williams Jazz Competition, Daniela was born in Italy to musical parents, studiedat Berklee, was championed by Marian McPartland, and has 13 recordings to her cred-it. Very impressive as a piano player, Daniela and Marian immediately had a strongemotional connection. As a singer, she's quite up-front, yet retains her femininity, espe-cially in her selection of standards and bold original material. Her 2008 CD PurpleButterfly is most compelling, but this engagement introduces us to her latestVanheusenism - A Tribute to Jimmy Van Heusen, with her band including saxophonistMike Tucker, bassist Michael O'Brien and drummer Mark Walker.

JOEY G-CLEF CAVASENOSMALLS JAZZ CLUB / OCTOBER 29Vaulted into the spotlight at age 17 when Lionel Hampton hired him, altoist and clar-inetist Joey "G-Clef" Cavaseno quickly became a hot commodity in the jazz world, per-forming with a veritable Who's Who of musical luminaries. As his solo career took off,Joey began to branch out and introduce new styles, merging his exceptional straightahead bona fides with work in R&B and hip-hop. Indeed, as the swing revival of the late1990s took flight, Joey formed the Yallopin' Hounds, and started to incorporate rap intothe music, dubbing the new style "ghetto swing." Enjoying staying power with his newstyle and diverse outlook, Joey has also relished high-quality company: at Smalls, hepairs longtime collaborators Jeremy Bacon and David F. Gibson with legendary bassistGene Perla. SH

RICHARD BOUKASSANTIAGO RUBIO HALL / OCTOBER 28Bandleader, guitarist, vocalist, composer and internationally recognized Brazilianmusic advocate Richard Boukas presents his Brazilian jazz ensemble, QuartetoModerno, in its debut CD release concert. Quarteto Moderno Live! Ao Vivo! features tenoriginal compositions which Richard describes as impressions of samba, choro, bossanova, baião, marcha and maracatu. Named Best Brazilian Jazz Guitarist by GuitarOneMagazine, Jazz Times cited his "beautiful melodies, contagious rhythms and impas-sioned improvisations." Richard has collaborated with noted Brazilians includingJovino Santos Neto and Nilson Matta and produced landmark concerts dedicated to themusic of Hermeto Pascoal, Pixinguinha and Milton Nascimento. Performing down thestreet from The New School where he has taught for decades, Richard features saxo-phonist Lucas Pino, bassist Gustavo Amarante and drummer Maurício Zottarelli. YE

JANE MONHEIT CREDITS ELLAFitzgerald as a primary musical influ-

ence but not so much for Ella's style, whichindelibly helped shape vocal jazz for everygeneration that followed. "What I reallygot from Ella is her warmth, her charm,the joy she puts in her music," Jane says."I learned that it's okay to sing from a veryhappy place. I think there is a misconcep-tion that this kind of singing has to bealways heavy and torchy. Ella showed usthat it can be about total joy."

The First Lady of Jazz is the focal pointfor Songbook Sessions: Ella Fitzgerald. Itis Jane's tenth studio recording since her2000 debut, Never Never Land. The Ellaproject is the first on her own label,Emerald City Records, created becauseJane sensed it was time for a change.

"I think I had five different labels in 15years. They all wanted to see what theycould do to stretch me in ways theythought I should be stretching in," shesays. "They tended to leave out what I real-ly wanted to do. As much as I love the popcovers and Brazilian music, I still want toswing, too. It was nice to make a recordthat's more of a jazz album."

Jane put her own emotional stamp on12 songs from Ella's repertoire. NicholasPayton arranged and produced the CD. Heplays trumpet on most tracks, plus pianoand/or organ on the last two.

"We didn't want to make a kind ofrecord that Ella would have made in the1950s. We wanted to take what we lovedabout her and bring it into 'the now' withall of the other things we love," she says.

"Nick brought a lot of outside-of-the-genre influences we both really love," Jane

says. "For instance, on his arrangement of'I've got you Under my Skin,' the openinggroove is very reminiscent of MichaelJackson's 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough.'The blending of these kinds of things madethis a fun project."

They also freshened George Gershwin's"I Was Doing Alright" with a bit of AmyWinehouse's "Now You Know" at the end.She says in terms of storytelling, it makessense. "It's this song about 'I thought mylife was great, but you came along and—guess what?—things are even better. I did-n't know that could happen.' And then youadd this lyric that says 'I've got to knowyou more, because we may never meetagain.' It's adding a sexy end to the storywhere you see this character really goingfor it, approaching this person who sheknows can make her life so much richer,"Jane says. "I love when a medley or amash-up can increase the story."

She said she wants to record a secondvolume of Ella material, if possible, team-ing with Payton on material Ella did withLouis Armstrong. "We could do interestingthings to bring that into today," Jane says."We can't just be influenced by people whoare around us. We need to go all the wayback; we need to learn from the ones whotaught the ones who taught us."

Fresh from her second-place finish in1998's Thelonious Monk InternationalVocal Competition, Jane's ingénue looksand passion for the Great AmericanSongbook seemed at times to overshadowher exceptional vocal skills. As she nearsher forties, turning 39 on Nov. 3, she notesthat her song interpretations havechanged over time.

"I can see my maturity forming. Youlive and you go through a lot. Most of thesesongs are about love and loss—that's some-thing we're all experiencing in its differentforms. It just changes as you grow and age,and that's a beautiful thing," she says.

"But I think it is just as beautiful tohear a young person sing a love song as itis if you hear someone who has beenthrough countless love affairs sing it. Bothoutlooks are perfectly valid because nomatter how old you are, it's the oldestyou've ever been—and you think you knoweverything."

She knows one thing for certain. "TheGreat American Songbook is always goingto be the core for me. I have a real sense ofpride and purpose about keeping it alive,bringing the music to new generations,"Jane says. "It's a national treasure. I'mreally proud to be one of the singers thatpeople want to hear handling that mate-rial."

Jane Monheit's quartet, with long-time bandmates Michael Kanan onpiano, Neal Miner on bass and RickMontalbano on drums, is at Birdlandon Oct. 18-22.

Ector photo by David Kelly, Golson by Ken Franckling.

BENNY GOLSONTRUMPET'S / OCTOBER 29His new autobiography is titled Whisper Not (Temple University Press). It couldn't beany other way when describing NEA Jazz Master, saxophonist Benny Golson. FromBenny's early days in Philadelphia, forming a teenage band with John Coltrane andpianist Ray Bryant, taking in Minton's to see Hot Lips Page and Thelonious Monkplaying stride piano, to becoming a world class jazz messenger with Art Blakey,Benny has graced the jazz world with his always fresh playing, giving others ever-greens to develop on like "Killer Joe," "I Remember Clifford," "Five Spot After Dark"and "Whisper Not." Almost looked upon as another career are Benny's arranging forBasie, Coltrane, Miles, Ella and Dizzy, in addition to his extensive work for televisionand film. A true jazz legend, Benny's Quintet features violinist Vitali Imereli.

FRANK VIGNOLABICKFORD THEATRE / OCTOBER 24Guitar icon Les Paul once told The Wall Street Journal that Frank Vignola was oneof his five most admired guitarists. A Long Island native, Frank developed his fast-fingered technique working in the worlds of jazz, classical, rock, R&B and pop. Frankhas played and toured in diverse styles with Paul, Wynton Marsalis and QueenLatifah. His Hot Club of France tributes brought to life the music of Django Reinhardtand Stephane Grappelli. Teaming up with fellow guitarist Vinnie Raniolo showedsupreme skill and affinity for music from Beethoven and Bach to The Beatles andSting. Hear for yourself why Guitar Player Magazine called Frank "one of the mostvicious tremolo-pickers on the scene" when Frank and his trio are joined by guesttrumpeter Jon-Erik Kellso.

BOBBY SANABRIACLEMENT'S PLACE / OCTOBER 14To celebrate both Hispanic Heritage Month and the 350th anniversary of Newark'sfounding, drummer, percussionist and educator Bobby Sanabria is a perfect fit. Thediversity that built Newark is also what informs Bobby's masterful display ofrhythms, from South America to Mario Bauza and Machito, fashioning a connection tojazz, funk, R&B, hip-hop and New Orleans second line. Bobby has driven his own largeensembles as well as Mario Bauza's Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra, both receivingGrammy nominations along the way. Bobby's spirit moves the next generation too, asdocumented on Kenya Revisited Live (Jazzheads), recorded with students from theManhattan School of Music Afro-Cuban Orchestra. In Newark, Bobby scales down thesize but not the spirit of the Afro-American/Latin jazz style with his Quarteto Ache'.

VINCE ECTORDUKE'S SOUTHERN TABLE / OCTOBER 8Drummer Vince Ector's talents have taken the rhythm master on the road and intothe studio with Freddie Hubbard, Jimmy Heath, Charles Earland, GroverWashington Jr., Ben E. King, Randy Weston and Lou Donaldson, among countlessothers. Described as "giving the dynamism of a big band to a small group setting,"Vince's skills are passed along as instructor of jazz percussion at Princeton Universityand as director of the non-profit Art for Kids. Vince's diversity is apparent on numer-ous recordings as sideman and three as leader. Vince's latest, Organatomy (AmericanShowplace) is a fiery mix of tunes covering Ellington, Jobim, Dizzy, Joe Hendersonand organ great Don Patterson, played alongside inventive originals from the leader.You can expect a world of rhythms from Vince's Organatomy band.

ANOTHER REASON TO CELEBRATEBy Elzy Kolb

Time is on his sideIbrahim Maalouf was already a high-

ly accomplished trumpeter experienced inplaying classical, baroque and variousother genres before he first discovered jazz,at age 17, in the form of Miles Davis.

His interest piqued, Ibrahim quicklysaw similarities between jazz and the tra-ditional Arabic music that he heard athome from his earliest years. "The defini-tion of Arab music is freedom and improv-isation; these are values shared with jazz,"he explains.

The musician, who plays a four-valvequarter-tone trumpet, points out thatbesides being common in Arabic music,quarter-tones play an important role inblues and jazz. "They're called blue notesin English, and that's not only a label—they’re used to bring your soul to a specificplace. The use of quarter-tones in jazz,blues and Arab music is a use of theirAfrican heritage."

The Lebanon-born, Paris-based trum-peter is perhaps best known in the U.S. forhis 2015 recording Kalthoum (Impulse!), atribute to the Egyptian vocalist OumKalthoum, who is revered throughout theArab world. The idea for the project germi-nated for several years, as Ibrahim wasn'timmediately comfortable with the idea orsure that he was ready for such a task.

"It's a big thing for an Arab to play hermusic differently. The main challenge wasnot to do something that people who knowthe music would reject as not good or notworthy. Of course, it would not be as goodas what Kalthoum did, but some wouldsay: 'You should not have worked on this.'"

There were practical considerations,too. Kalthoum's songs take about an hourto unfold, longer than the designated timefor some club sets and concerts. Switchingfrom a vocal to instrumental rendition, andpresenting it in a way that's true to theoriginal intent was also a consideration."The music was composed for someone tosing. My instrument had to sing or youwould lose the main voice of it."

Eventually Ibrahim undertook thepainstaking process of transcribing one ofhis favorite Kalthoum songs, "Alf Leila WaLeila" ("1,001 Nights"). "Transcribing theArabic music, the quarter-tones, the drumsto a language Western people who enjoyjazz would like was not easy. It was likedoing a language translation—it's notalways the words but the idea. Sometimesyou have to use different words to say thesame thing."

Pianist Frank Woeste, bassist ScottColley, saxophonist Rick Margitza anddrummer Clarence Penn join Ibrahim inpresenting the results of his efforts atJALC's Appel Room Sept. 30-Oct. 1. "Aconcert is where I express myself most, thestage is the place I feel most comfortable.Music connects me with people," he says.

The trumpeter also finds a higher pur-pose in sharing Kalthoum's music. "Peoplewho might be interested in how can wefind common points in Western and Arabcultures may find common points in music.Some people may think Western and Arabcultures cannot co-exist, but they're wrong.There are many similarities between Araband Western cultures, and music may bethe best ambassador for this message."

Though Ibrahim says that it's an enor-mous pleasure to do a tribute to Kalthoum,he acknowledges that so far he has noplans to incorporate more of her materialinto his repertoire. "I wouldn't have thesame pleasure in repeating the samething," he muses.

Besides establishing his bona fides inclassical, jazz, and world music, Ibrahimhas collaborated with singers and has writ-ten an extensive body of original composi-tions, including several film soundtracks.He's eager to continue exploring andbroadening his horizons.

Next up on his schedule? The U.S.release of Red & Black Light (Impulse!), arecording of mostly original material alongwith a cover of Beyonce's "Run the World(Girls)."

Full circleOne of Jane Bunnett's goals is to

transport people to different places withher music, and for the past quarter of acentury that musical journey has involvedCuba. Years before the Buena Vista SocialClub ensconced the sounds of theCaribbean island on everyone's playlist,the Canadian flutist/saxophonist and her

ANOTHER REASON...continued from page 25

her husband, trumpeter Larry Cramer,recorded the groundbreaking albumSpirits of Havana with local musicians.

Her ongoing involvement with Cubanmusic has surprised Jane. She points outthat before her first trip to the island herfocus was collaborating and recording withjazz innovators such as Don Pullen, PaulBley, Sheila Jordan, Dewey Redman, BillyHart, Jeanne Lee and others.

"After we recorded Spirits of Havana Inever imagined I'd still be making Cubanrecords 20 CDs later, but as I started delv-ing deeper and deeper into Cuban music itbecame a lifelong passion," she says.

"Not many people were mixing up jazzand folkloric music at that time.Opportunities hit as we traveled through-out Cuba. We'd go to a different provinceand discover a whole new kind of music.We were on the frontier of the musicbecause as Canadians we were able to gointo Cuba and access the music. Thatopportunity fueled our artistic vision andcreativity, and we wanted to see what wecould do with it."

Her most recent foray into the Afro-Cuban sound is a new CD, Oddara (LinusEntertainment), the second release forJane and her five youthful female Cubancohorts in the band Maqueque. The albumtitle is an Afro-Cuban word meaning"strong, positive, and happy—that's athumbnail description of the band," Janesays.

Some of Oddara's 11 tunes have tradi-tional roots melded with contemporarylyrics, such as Tres Golpes, based on a clas-sic Cuban piece by Ignacio Cervantes fromthe 1920s, combined with an original Afro-Cuban chant penned by Maqueque'spianist, Dánae Olano.

Leon Russell's "Song for You" is anotherkind of classic that got a Maquequeupdate. Larry Cramer always loved thesong and kept lobbying for the band to addit to their repertoire. They did, with theoriginal melody and lyrics augmented byanother Afro-Cuban chant. PercussionistMagdelys Savigne "stepped up to the plateto sing," Jane points out.

"Chagui Guaso" is based on the changuistyle, a blues-like form that goes back

more than a century in Cuba'sGuantanamo province. "There's a stronglink between R&B and Cuban music; youcan especially hear it in the bass figures."

Since winning a Juno award (CanadianGrammy) for their first album, Maqueque'sband members have been writing up astorm, resulting in an embarrassment ofmusical riches to choose from for the newrelease. "There are plenty of leftovers. I'mlike a cook who always over-caters, sothere's plenty of backup," Jane says with alaugh.

The sextet's name translates as "theenergy of a young girl's spirit," and tri-state club-goers will have a chance to feelthat energy when Maqueque celebratesthe release of Oddara at Birdland on Oct.25 and at the Deer Head Inn on Oct. 28.

Jane credits the force of that energywith keeping her fired up on the road."Those girls can't wait to get on stage.Some people I've gigged with have a coolfactor, a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work attitude. But these girls are champ-ing at the bit to play for an audience thatwants to hear them strut their stuff."

The power of the island's music contin-ues to exert a strong pull for both the musi-cians and listeners, as evidenced by therecent 25th anniversary reissue of Spiritsof Havana (Linus), augmented with somepreviously unreleased material and a bookwith a history of the band and the players.

"When we did our first big Cuban showin 1990, people thought we were crazy, itwas so foreign then. But now people havemore understanding of what the music isabout and they think it's amazing."

Preparing to play with his quartet forthe first time at "a major club" in NewYork, Rufus looks forward to spending fournights with his trio and his special guestYosvanny Terry, with whom Rufus hasplayed in the past. "He's really a wonderful,creative individual," he says.

Whether his background as an improvis-er is informing his energy as a writer, or hiswork as a composer is informing his articu-lation with players on the bandstand,Rufus will continue to evolve as an artist.

"I'm trying to pay attention to thosethings that require honing—if I can getthose kinds of things clear, then the musicmay have a chance to speak on its own."

The Rufus Reid Quartet, withDuduka Da Fonseca, Steve Allee andspecial guest Yosvanny Terry, is atJazz Standard Oct. 6-9.

Musician-Educator CornerWhile any artist today needs to rely on

good luck, the truly successful artistsalways find a way to maximize the oppor-tunities that present themselves, buildingand shaping them into unique and sus-tainable work that can advance careers inunexpected but profound directions. Suchis the case with David Schroeder, amulti-reed player, composer, teacher,writer, and Director of Jazz Studies atNYU. A remarkable figure with an equallynoteworthy career, David enjoys a uniqueability to find new possibilities, link dis-parate ideas together, and maximizeopportunities as he discovers them, allwhile working to impart that same ethicinto his students.

"When I moved to New York, I foundthere were many things that could bedeveloped, but nobody was doing anythingabout it," he notes. "So I wanted to find away to use the resources that the city hadto offer." Coming to New York from Iowa topursue higher education, Schroeder endedup at NYU, and soon began to see meansby which the school could better serve itsjazz students and set them on the path toquality careers.

"There's a famous Woody Allen quotethat New York is filled with overachievingout-of-towners!" he laughs. "I wanted mystudents to understand all the aspects of

the music industry as they moved forward,which I was able to do when I becameDirector of Jazz Studies."

Soon, he began to quickly harness NewYork's resources in his teaching, findingmeans to build upon the classroom lessonswith practical performance and work pos-sibilities for students. "I became the direc-tor in 2003, and at that point a lot of busi-nesses were trying to get back into shapeafter 9-11," he recalls. "I went to jazz clubsto see if we could do workshops and mas-terclasses there with my students, andthen open them to the public. I starteddoing Sunday Brunch gigs with my stu-dents and faculty at the Blue Note, and Ialso found weekly gigs for students at anumber of clubs. I was also the educationdirector for some record labels, and got mystudents internships with them so theycould see that side of the industry."

This diligence and investment in hispupils led to unique new developments forDavid and the department, ultimately giv-ing rise to the NYU Jazz Interview Series.The seeds of the series were sown in 2009,when a chance call from Barnes and Nobleled to the opportunity to work with theretail giant.

"One of my students applied for a job attheir record department, and I was listedas a reference; when I was called for thereference, we began discussing the manag-er's love for jazz," David remembers. "Isuggested starting a jazz interview seriesat their flagship store, and one conversa-tion later I was in!"

That popular series ran for three yearsresulting in remarkable interviews with 80luminaries; inspired its successor, theNYU Jazz Interview Series; and mostrecently led to a book deal for David totranscribe the discussions. It stands as aremarkable confluence of events, but onethat other artists might not have parlayedinto such a tremendous succession.

While David's work as an artist hasably informed his efforts to advance hisstudents' budding careers, his role at NYUhas also enabled him to engage his ownperformance efforts in unique and musical-ly satisfying avenues. As the leader ofCombo Nuvo, David founded an ensemblefeaturing many other faculty membersthat provided an open canvas for newmusical projects.

"I wanted to create a group that com-bined the many styles and influences of its

TRUMPETER RACHEL THERRIEN ISsavoring the recent release of her newrecord, Pensamiento: Proyecto Colombia,all the while planning ahead for her nextjourney.

Pensamiento, Rachel's third CD as aleader, was a spontaneous product of her2014 Colombian tour as a sidewoman. "Iwas touring with a big 30-piece Gypsyband, and I used the opportunity to createmy own music throughout the tour," shesays. "I found all the musicians I wanted towork with, and ended up staying inColombia longer to record!"

Regarding her compositional practices,Rachel says, "since my career started at age17, there have always been African influ-ences. I am interested in Afro-rhythmsfrom different cultures, and when I com-pose I often start with rhythmic concepts inpercussion." Her rhythmic disposition isparticularly evident in Pensamiento, wherebooming Colombian drum sounds provide a

members," David explains. "We wanted toplay instruments we had been working on,and compositions we had been developing,and so we would workshop them duringweekly gigs at cafes. When I became direc-tor at NYU, I started hiring my faculty,and began involving the jazz students andeven the orchestra. It was a great way toget everyone involved, and has helped meto stay involved creatively as an artist."

Bassist Jerry Bruno told me about a gig he was once playing with Bob Rosengarden'sband. He said Bob made a beckoning gesture to him while they were playing. Jerry asked,"Do you want it louder?" Bob replied, with a straight face, "Better."

Don Stein told me about a band whose leader often romanced young women by offeringthem a chance to sing a tune with the band. Often they weren't very good singers. After oneof them gave a fairly dreadful performance, sax man Lou Caputo deadpanned: "Next, we’redoing our Peter Pan medley. You're not afraid of heights, are you?"

AFTER 14 YEARS IN NEW YORKCity, Bogota native Samuel Torres still

moves crowds with his genius and frenziedrhythmical combinations. The percussion-ist is always evolving, just like the city: "Inall aspects, New York is constantly devel-oping: in housing, with the roads…andthat's how the music develops."

In late December, Samuel assembled asextet for a monthly residency at ClubBonafide. The band featured trumpeterAlex Norris, guitarist Tom Guarna, pianistLuis Perdomo, bassist Ricky Rodriguezand drummer Pablo Bencid.

"The idea for me is to have the Latinjazz ensemble explore different sonoritiesfrom Latin America," he explains.Samuel's approach is to use Afro-Caribbean sounds along with SouthAmerican and, in particular, traditionalColombian sounds. Club Bonafide has been"the factory where we have developed as aband," he explains.
