The Louis Vuitton store on Union Square was transformed into a salon one recent balmy evening. No hairdressers in sight (though the crowd was well coiffed indeed), the 250 or so invited guests gathered for a modern-day take on the centuries-old French tradition of mingling with artists, sipping fine wines and Champagne and savoring delightful food (on this night, an array of hors d'oeuvres from Michael Mina).
On the evening before his sold-out appearance with the San Francisco Symphony, Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Chris Botti played a lively 20-minute set with...

Jamie Cullum cooks up new batch of songs
During a performance at the Algonquin Hotel’s famed Oak Room recently, Jamie Cullum disappeared.
No, this wasn’t a magic show. But it certainly felt like one when the diminutive singer-songwriter dropped to the floor and slid beneath the piano.
A confused gentleman sitting in one of the intimate venue’s dimly lit corners asked his wife, “Where did he go?” But soon enough, the sound of Cullum beating the base of the piano like a bongo let everyone know that the musician indeed hadn’t checked out of the show.
If you’ve seen Cullum in concert, you’re familiar with his antics: He’s a piano DJ of sorts, making the instrument his drum, bass and turntable … even a launch pad. (He’s been known to jump off the piano at times.)
The gig was a celebration for the Londoner. His new album, “The Pursuit” (Verve Forecast), had just come out. And he was in a familiar place, having enjoyed a monthlong run at the...

Singer Melody Gardot tantalizes in Fillmore show
How does one explain what Melody Gardot does and what makes it so compelling?
A knockout in her SFJAZZ debut last year, the singer proved to be even more irresistibly confounding in a lightly publicized appearance Thursday at The Fillmore.
From her airy, sensual vocal style to her sizzling appearance to the few physical concessions she must still make to the accident that nearly killed her (a walking stick for support and sunglasses to ward off photosensitive headaches), Gardot was an enigma wrapped in a firecracker. She has the kind of stage presence you might get from...

Stanley Clarke pays tribute to pioneering fusion bands
Nearly 40 years after forming the pioneering fusion act Return to Forever, Stanley Clarke and Chick Corea remain good friends—and sometimes friendly rivals, most recently for the sonic favours of the young Japanese pianist Hiromi Uehara. Corea wooed her first, recording the live Duet in 2008. But it didn’t take long for his bass-playing counterpart to add Uehara, whose own band was a surprise hit at the 2009 edition of the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival, to his long list of musical partners.
“Chick turned me on to Hiromi, although I’d met her in London many, many years ago,” Clarke explains, on the line from his L.A. home. “I knew she was a very good pianist. But then Chick told me about...

Teen Nikki Yanofsky already a prodigious jazz musician
Last week, Nikki Yanofsky couldn't come to the phone because she was home in Montreal studying for her high-school exams.
"I know that school is just as important," she explains simply.
So while she's writing exams, her blossoming career as a jazz singer has been put on hold.
"I don't talk about it in school," adds Yanofsky. "There's not much jealousy. Everything is great. Everyone is supportive."
This week, she almost didn't come to the phone because she had a TV appearance in New York that...

Portland's 2010 Blues Festival: Troy 'Trombone Shorty' Andrews blows into town with his fusion of jazz, funk, rock and soul
Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews is in the middle of making a point about growing up in the Treme neighborhood of New Orleans when his voice is drowned out by a gate agent with a lot to say and a particularly loud speaker through which to speak.
"Hold on a second," Andrews says.
Not a problem, and since we're on the subjects of airports and Andrews' home turf, there was a wonderful scene in HBO's "Treme" featuring an airport and Andrews that serves as a nice introduction, if one is needed.

Herbie Hancock Celebrates Seventieth Birthday At Carnegie Hall In New York
Among a number of high-ranking pianists in New York this week — McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett, Junior Mance, Cyrus Chestnut, Eric Reed, Gerald Clayton, Hiromi — Herbie Hancock commanded the biggest ticket prices. But then, he's so much more than a pianist. To say the least, this was a game of two halves, with an almost unbridgeable gulf between the first set and the largely vocal follow-up based on his new album, The Imagine Project.
A token comedy bit by Bill Cosby with Herbie as straight-man led to an hour honouring the Miles era. The rotating personnel including Jack DeJohnette, both Terence Blanchard and Wallace Roney, both Wayne Shorter and Joe Lovano, both Ron Carter and Dave Holland played in different line-ups — unusually, remaining on stage when not performing — and nailed Shorter's 'Footprints' and Carter's ‘81’. But it wasn’t until a short ‘Funny Valentine’ featuring Roney (of course) and a free-ish collective ‘Eye Of The Hurricane’ that things really took off.
Lionel Loueke looked distinctly out of place here, but was the only one to stay on for the second set, anchored by keyboardist Greg Phillinganes, bassist Tal Wilkenfeld (she also sang ‘Times They Are A-Changing’) and Vinnie Colaiuta — notably more sensitive than with the McLaughlin/Corea band. One of the strengths was all-purpose vocalist Kristina Train, who did a Joni on ‘Court And Spark’ and, if I'm not mistaken, sang in Irish as well as playing fiddle in a brief reference to the Chieftains. The even briefer contribution of India.Arie on ‘Imagine’ and a longer dose of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks with ‘Learning To Live Together’ took us into feel-good territory, while an a cappella ‘Happy Birthday’ (for Herbie’s 70th two months before) underlined the slightly self-congratulatory air of the exercise.

Harry Connick, Jr., finds joy in jazz classics at Chicago Theatre
No one in jazz idealizes the past as effectively as Harry Connick, Jr.
Depending on your point of view, that's either a great achievement or a dubious one.
To the crowd that packed the Chicago Theatre on Tuesday evening, Connick's celebration of music of the swing era was nothing less than a jolt of electricity, prompting thunderous ovations. Whether he crooned, played the piano, led his band or simply conversed with the audience, he drew heated response.
For good reason, too. The sheer craft of this concert – with its sterling orchestral arrangements, brilliant lighting design and charismatic vocal performance – stands apart from anything else in...

Michael Bublé has Crazy Love for Tulsa
Tulsa, was the first stop for Michael Bublé’s Crazy Love North American tour, after a series of sold out European shows. He now starts the second leg of his tour with Naturally 7 the opening act. Running late, I still loved Naturally 7’s music - an a cappella band, but what a surprise. The band calls their style “Vocal Play” and uses the same name for their newest album (coming late summer). It sounds like a full band, but the only instruments are their voices. Eyes closed you hear guitars, drums, bass, even a harmonica, but all made with the human voice. I highly recommend them and they were just the opening act.
Nearly packed; the arena crowd was standing in eager anticipation for Michael Bublé. As he appeared, the crowd went wild in cheers and...

Stanford Jazz Festival goes global
Since 1972, Stanford has celebrated the most American of art forms – now it looks to jazz's African forebears and its cousins in Brazil, Europe and around the world.
America's most undisputed legacy to world arts is jazz.
So it's fitting that Stanford University celebrates it – every year – with a world-class jazz festival. But though jazz was born in America, its forebears and cousins also will have a share in this year's Stanford Jazz Festival, which begins its 39th six-week season on Friday, June 25, and continues through Aug. 7.
The festival kicks off at 8 p.m. Friday in Dinkelspiel Auditorium with an event that has a distinctly international feel: "A Night of Brazilian Jazz" with Grammy Award-winning vocalist Luciana Souza, guitarist Romero Lubambo and saxophonist Harvey Wainapel and his all-Brazilian jazz quartet Alegritude.
"Most people think that jazz began in New Orleans – but, no, this music began thousands of years ago," says the 84-year-old National Endowment for the Arts master Randy Weston, a Moroccan-based American jazz pianist and composer of Jamaican parentage. The festival will honor jazz's African roots with...

The Jazz Capital of the World: Festival International de Jazz de Montreal
Montreal has been the summertime jazz capital of the world for the past 31 years as the city opens its arms to music lovers for the annual Festival International de Jazz de Montreal. Fans of the festival - who number well into the millions when you add up the attendance for the past three decades - will tell you that while "jazz" may be in the title, the festival organizers pride themselves on presenting a wide variety of musical acts designed to make sure that there's something for everyone to enjoy during the event.
"Of course, we love jazz music, but it's just as important to step back and look at the different styles of music that have been influenced by jazz, be it rock and blues or world music," said Laurent Saulnier, vice president of programming for the Festival. "We have visitors who don't make plans for the festival until the schedule comes out so they can make sure they see the specific artists that they are interested in, and then we have those people who...

Wendell Logan, Composer of Jazz and Concert Music, Dies at 69
Wendell Logan, a composer of jazz and concert music who more than two decades ago founded the jazz department at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, long a bastion of high-level classical training, died on June 15 in Cleveland. He was 69 and lived in Oberlin, Ohio.
Professor Logan died after a short illness, Marci Janas, a conservatory spokeswoman, said. At his death he was chairman of the jazz studies department and professor of African-American music at the conservatory, which is part of Oberlin College.
Though Oberlin had been turning out world-caliber classical soloists, conductors and orchestral performers for generations, jazz there had long been an extracurricular subject at best.
Professor Logan, who played soprano saxophone and trumpet, joined the faculty in 1973 and began offering jazz classes soon afterward. But it was not until...

'Sopranos' actor supports NY school's jazz program
NEW YORK – Actor Michael Imperioli is in tune with the times — starring in a new thriller set in a foreclosed house and off-screen supporting a school jazz program led by recession-squeezed musical greats.
"To be inspired by the energy and mystique surrounding these older artists fills gaps in young people's relationship to the world," says Imperioli, who gained fame in the HBO mob series "The Sopranos" and now is shooting the Richard Ledes-directed film "Foreclosure" in Queens.
The 44-year-old actor was at Manhattan's Claremont Preparatory School recently for a concert featuring the veteran musicians with the students, including his 11-year-old son, Vadim, on trumpet.

Jeff Beck honors Les Paul with special club gig
NEW YORK (AP) -- Jeff Beck honored his late friend and mentor, Les Paul, with an intimate performance Wednesday night at his favorite haunt, the Iridium Jazz Club.

NYC seeks developer for jazz museum in Harlem
(AP) – May 24, 2010
NEW YORK — New York City is seeking a developer to build a new home for the National Jazz Museum in Harlem at a city-owned lot across the street from the Apollo Theater.
The 10,000-square-foot site also will house the ImageNation Sol Cinema, an art house movie theater.
The city's Economic Development Corp. on Monday issued a request for proposals seeking a developer for the project.
The site was the former home of Mart 125, a market where vendors rented space. The market closed in 2001.
The developer will be responsible for demolishing the existing structure and leasing the rest of the building once it's completed.
Submissions are due July 30.

Jazz artist Boney James hurt in crash
LONG BEACH, Calif. — Publicists for Boney James say the Grammy-nominated jazz saxophonist has canceled a show after being struck by a suspected drunken driver in Long Beach.
They say James was driving home from a jazz festival in Newport Beach on Saturday when his car was rear-ended while he was stopped in traffic on Interstate 405. He suffered a fractured jaw, two broken teeth and a gash on his chin that needed 14 stitches.
Passers-by pulled him from the car. He has been released from the hospital but canceled a Friday show in Columbia, S.C.
James is married to Lily Mariye, who played nurse Lily Jarvik on TV's "ER."

Louis Armstrong Featured on CelebStoner for his use of Marijuana
Born 60 years apart on Aug. 4, Louis Armstrong and Barack Obama are two of the most famous African Americans. While Obama admitted to using marijuana and supports decriminalization, Armstrong was a lifelong "gage" smoker who was busted in 1931 and encouraged Pres. Dwight Eisenhower to change the pot laws.

Wynton Marsalis, Doris Day, Reverse Racism – and All That Jazz
As a young show tunes twink, the closest I got to jazz was Ella Fitzgerald’s great Cole Porter Songbook, recorded in 1956 for the fledgling Verve label. I played the LPs so much I wore them out, and eventually OD’d on the Songbook (I still can’t listen to it.) Ella and Louis, her album of standards with Louis Armstrong (recorded the same year), soon became my new favorite.
Later, I was surprised to discover the remarkable, seductive voice of Doris Day, who was admittedly influenced by Fitzgerald and sang with the big bands way before she ever met Rock Hudson. These two diverse ladies rank among the most important pop vocalists of the 20th century.
But just the way, as a boy, I had trouble believing that movie goddess Lena Horne was black, Fitzgerald sounded almost too “white” to me as well; certainly as white as...

The June Jazz Recovery Act
For the last half-century, summer has traditionally been jazz festival season. But when New York's centerpiece event, the JVC Jazz Festival, suddenly tanked last year, it left the avant-garde-oriented Vision Festival to hold the fort all by itself. But if 2009 was the year of the Jazz Recession, 2010 marks the start of the Jazz Recovery: Not only is there a replacement for the venerable JVC, but the annual Vision Fest has announced its most ambitious program to date. And, there's a whole new event in town as well. Jazz in June is back.
The new Carefusion Jazz Festival—with impresario George Wein's name in big letters on the schedule—is now the city's big mainstream event. Essentially filling in for the JVC, the festival's format follows that of Mr. Wein's New York events of the last 35 years or so, lasting 10 days with five or six events per night. Firstly, there are four big "headliner" concerts at Carnegie Hall. The hottest tickets are both piano-centric: the high-flying Keith Jarrett Trio (6/17) and the 70th birthday celebration (with Wayne Shorter, Terence Blanchard, Joe Lovano and Bill Cosby) of superstar Herbie Hancock (6/24).
