Da meno di un'ora sul web è comparsa la notizia della morte di Bob Brookmeyer. Ecco un breve profilo tratto da Wikipedia:
Robert Brookmeyer detto Bob (Kansas City, Missouri, 19 dicembre 1929) è un trombonista, compositore e pianista statunitense. Frequenta il conservatorio di Kansas City. Trasferitosi a New York, suona il piano con Mel Lewis e collabora con musicisti quali Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Charles Mingus. Il suo strumento di elezione è il trombone a pistoni. Dopo di che, inizia una collaborazione di quindici anni con Stan Getz. Ottiene la celebrità in campo mondiale con la sua partecipazione, come primo sostituto di Chet Baker, nel quartetto piano-less di Gerry Mulligan, formazione di cui farà parte dal 1954 al 1957. In seguito collabora con Jimmy Giuffrè e Jim Hall nel trio che darà alla luce l'LP "Western Suite" del 1957 e di nuovo poi con Gerry Mulligan nella Concert Jazz Band (da lui stesso creata), sia come arrangiatore che come esecutore. Negli anni sessanta collabora con la big band di Mel Lewis e Thad Jones, e con diverse altre formazioni, suona in duo con il chitarrista Jim Hall, sforna (al piano) insieme a Bill Evans The Ivory Hunters, e si occupa prevalentemente di arrangiamenti e composizione. Dal 1981 inizia a lavorare intensamente come compositore e direttore d'orchestra in Europa, creando molte opere per le città di Colonia e Stoccolma. Dal 1991 si reca in Olanda, dove inaugura una nuova scuola per l'improvvisazione e la composizione. Tornato negli Stati Uniti, riceve la cattedra di Composizione Jazz nel Conservatorio del New England. Attualmente, compone e si esibisce con la sua New Art Orchestra. |

Howard Mandel è uno scrittore e giornalista free lance, presidente della Jazz Journalist Association, collaboratore e autore della radio nazionale NPR e titolare del blog Jazz Beyond Jazz. Ecco le sue scelte discografiche per l'anno che va a finire. Favorite New Releases, # 1 – 10 1) Sonny Rollins, Road Shows vol. 2- The grand master American saxophone improviser turned 80 with an inspired New York City concert, benefitting from support from drummer Roy Haynes and bassist Christian McBride, collaboration with guitarist Jim Hall and trumpeter Roy Hargrove, and a paradigm-shifting duet with surprise guest Ornette Coleman playing alto saxophone. A benchmark of excitement of the century old lineage of jazz leads to, circa 2011. 2) Nicole Mitchell, Awakening - A dazzling flutist keeps coming up with tuneful ideas, backed by an economical, bluesy but open-minded Chicago guitar-bass-drums band. 3) Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Fé/Faith – The Cuban pianist reigns in mighty chops to muse out loud and solo about the most personal and evanescent themes. Beautiful touch in a sonic hush. 4) Jamaadaldeen Tacuma, For the Love of Ornette — Ornette Coleman is heard on sax throughout much of this self-produced album by one of his greatest proteges, an irrepressibly rhythmic electric bassist. But most gratifying is that Jamaaladeen’s entire ensemble does Ornette’s harmolodic concept proud, so there’s a lot going on simultaneously and all of it’s funky. 5) Joseph Daley, The Seven Deadly Sins - Discover a rich orchestral album by a lesser known veteran: Daley’s respected profile as a low brass (tuba) specialist should 6) Tyshawn Sorey, Oblique – 1 - Sorey is a gifted drummer, challenging composer and accomplished conceptualist/bandleader (he also performs on piano, but not here). He keeps the contributions of alto saxophonist Loren Stillman, guitarist Todd Neufeld, pianist John Escreet and bassist Chris Tordini moving. but not in obvious ways and not loudly. Listen to hear them come together, flow apart, wander off, return or arrive where they intend to. 7) Roscoe Mitchell, Before There Was Sound – The first recorded example of music coming from Chicago’s 1960s AACM has been released after 40+ years. Sax virtuoso Mitchell was at the start of his career; his small ensemble walks the line from progressive originality to something else. Not as rad now as then, yet good, fresh listening. 8) Nguyen Le, Songs of Freedom – Le, an unusual electric guitarist also using computers, and a core band (vibes, electric bass and drums) plus special guests address rock classics — “Eleanor Rigby,” “Mercedes Benz”, “Whole Lotta Love” among others. They are recast completely, with imagination, admiration and respect. Vocals on some songs as part of the ensemble, not singer way out front. 9) Trio M, The Guest House – Pianist Myra Melford, bassist Mark Dresser and drummer Matt Wilson have a vigorous and happily balanced threesome, like the famous ’60s Bill Evans trio rejiggering the instrumental hierarchy for music’s sake. 10) Adam Rudolph Go: Organic Orchestra – Can you Imagine The Sound of a Dream? – Rudolph conducts improvisationally a large coterie of New York City’s most accomplished musicians from across jazz and world music scenes, arriving at some unique harmonies and compelling episodes from what could be a model for a contemporary symphony. Best reissues 1) Miles Davis Quintet in Europe, 1967 2) Frank Sinatra/Count Basie: The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings 3) Bill Dixon, Intents and Purposes Best debut CD: KG Omulo, Ayah Ye! Moving Train Best Latin jazz album: Arturo O’Farrill Latin Jazz Orchestra, 40 Acres and a Burro Box Sets Ray Charles, Singular Genius: The Complete ABC Singles Jazz Icons Series 5 (DVDS): Johnny Griffin, Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Freddie Hubbard, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane (but I’m going to write an entire posting about this . . next up!)
