Some of what you'll hear:
-Did you know that Sun Ra did an early album on a children's label? From that you'll hear a very familiar theme.

-Gary Burton Quartet doing what I thought was one of the most ridiculous tv themes.
-A Canadian mystery/comedy program that has been on the air for 18 seasons.
-Ornette Coleman and Charlie Haden playing a theme from a soap opera satire.
-Mickey Mouse theme sung on an album called "Nice Girls Don't Stay for Breakfast"

It's important to remember, especially during Black History Month, that jazz is music born of the African American experience---and it is now played and listened to all over the world. To quote Randall Cline, Artistic Director of SF Jazz: "The birth of jazz, and its evolution is rooted in black artists fighting against systemic oppression. Jazz musicians have always been on the front lines of change". So in this episode, originally posted and presented 4 years ago, I play music celebrating that fight. You'll hear recordings by Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Archie Shepp, A Tribe Called Red, Nina Simone, and others. And some very revealing stories. Also trumpeter Terence Blanchard, and his "Breathless" album from 2015. I neglected to mention who was playing on the album, so here it is: Donald Ramsey – bass Oscar Seaton – drums Charles Altura – guitar Fabian Almazan – piano, synth And as an aside, this podcast, Discovering Jazz, is currently #36 on Feedspot's list of the world's best jazz podcasts. You can find their listing through https://podcast.feedspot.com/jazz_podcasts/.…
Taking a couple weeks off and posting programs from the archives. This week it's Jazz and Black History Month....originally posted February of 2020. Now, despite the efforts of certain racist politicians to eliminate our honouring black history, this episode is in honour of that history. I play music by James Reese Europe and his Paragons Ragtime Orchestra, Jellyroll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson & Harry Sweets Edison, Charles Mingus, Joe Williams, Louise Rose (from Victoria, B.C.), Ramsey Lewis, Wynton Marsalis, and The Modern Jazz Quartet. And I talk about this music---focusing on its roots, including Buddy Bolden (who, unfortunately, never recorded).…
To conclude what has turned out to be an 8 part series on The Best of 2024---I've randomly selected some albums that were chosen by one or more 'experts'. There are a lot of artists of whom I was totally unfamiliar...and randomly selecting a few certainly aids my own jazz 'discovery' process, and I hope it will also aid yours. By concidence it turns out that three of these have a Latin (Spanish or Portuguese) flavour. Then there's one artist from Italy, one from England, one 'historical' album from one of America's greatest trumpeters, two from Canada, and a couple from the U.S. (including Portland, Oregon). Some great music!…
Of the albums that reviewers and jazz aficianados placed on their "Best of 2024" list---here are what I feel right now are my nine favourites. Kenny Barron: Beyond This Place Danae Olano: Children's Corner Bria Skonberg: What It Means Matt Wilson's Good Trouble: Good Trouble Alex Tuomarilla Trio: Departing The Wasteland Verneri Pohjola: Monkey Mind Oded Tzur Quartet: My Prophet Jeremy Ledbetter Trio: Gravity. And my all-time favourite: A 4 cd set (with booklet) by Allen Lowe called Louis Armstrong's America.…
Next week I'm playing what I've selected as being my 9 favourite jazz albums of 2024. (At least of those I was able to listen to). This week, I'm playing records that I wanted on my top 9....but I just couldn't fit them in. And as I listen to this episode now, there is at least one that really should be in that personl 'best of' list. That's the album I start and end with. Here is the list of 8 amazing albums I'm featuring this week: Stream, by Fergus McCreadie. This Scottish pianist specializes in melodies that sound like they should be British folk songs. But they aren't! And this particular album conveys a sense of a stream or river in all its many manifestations. And what phenomenal piano work! Those notes truly flow . Time and Place by Joel Jeschke, a drummer and composer from where I live---Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. As I Travel by pianist Donald vega. Melodic and rhythmic tunes with Vega, bassist John Patittuci, Lewis Nash on drums, and a deligtful percussionist named Luisito Quintero. The album traces Vega's travel experiences right from his fleeing of Nicaragua as a young boy. Blues Blood by Immanuel Wilkins. This is where jazz saxophone is going! He has two previous albums out, and this is the first one to employ vocals. Jamie Saft Trio Plays Monk. What can I say? This pianist is a Monk scholar, who has studied Monk, his tunes, and his style so closely. All Species Parade, by Jenny Scheinman. A violinist! Full of amazing energy. And on this track you hear two of today's most loved guitarists, Bill Frisell and Julien Lage. Crossing Paths by Renee Rosnes, originally from Vancouver, now based in New York, I believe. And the path she is crossing is the one that goes far South, as it is an album of Latin music, written by some of the most highly rated Brazilian composers. Standards II by Noah Haidu. What a trio---of Haidu, Buster Williams, and Billy Hart. I like this album even better than Standards I---which was also a favourite of mine. Another track from the first album....12 and a half minutes of Fergus McCreadie. Next week: my official "top 9 jazz albums of 2024". For what its worth :)…
A lot of music that celebratess the body. I play 12 great tracks from more albums from the past year that jazz aficianados rave about! You'll hear: -Robert Glasper (with MMYYKK) -Hamilton De Holanda & Gonzalo Rubalcaba -Julian Lage -Joel Ross -Meshell Ndegeocello -Montuno West -Ezra Collective -Too Many Zooz -Christine Jensen (with her sister, Ingrid) -Immanuel Wilkins -Kurt Elling & Sullivan Fortner and a delightful version of a tune by Wayne Shorter--with lyrics by Tessa Souter. It's all put together in a way that makes sense; a combination of variety and coherence. And I would so appreciate it if any of you who enjoy this show would leave a rating and/or review on Apple Podcasts. Thank you. -Larry…
I've been busy since mid-November going through the "Best Of" lists of 123 jazz critics, reviewers, jazz internet sites, etc. I've tabulated all the jazz albums mentioned (1,023 at last count)....and put a tick beside each one when someone puts it as one of their top albums. This week, I play a track from 11 of the 13 albums chosen by the greatest number of 'experts', plus the Canadian album that most reviewers have mentioned. And with some I give some brief quotes from some of the reviews. Later I will post on this page the names and artists of the albums most chosen and the number of 'votes' each received. And I'm also hoping to create a sort of 'newsletter' where I list ALL 1000 or so of the albums and the number of jazz aficianados choosing them. But for now....just listen to the show and be surprised! -Larry Addendum, Jan 16/2024 I looked at a total of 123 lists,and listed all 1,066 albums that made at least one of those lists. Here is the tally of all the albums that ended up being placed on 10 or more lists. ALBUMS ON THE MOST 'BEST OF' LISTS Vijay Iyer, Linda May Han Oh, Tyshawn Sorey: Compassion 41 lists Charles Lloyd: The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow 37 lists Patricia Brennan: Breaking Stretch 30 Nala Sinephro: Endlessness 26 Nubya Garcia: Odyssey 24 Shabaka: Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace 23 Mary Halvorson: Cloudward 21 Samara Joy: Portrait 21 Amaro Freitas: Y'Y 20 Immanuel Wilkins: Blues Blood 20 Kamasi Washington: Fearless Movement 19 Milton Nascimento and Esperanza Spalding: Milton & Esperanza 19 Ezra Collective: Dance, No One's Watching 19 Arooj Aftab: Night Reign (grammy nom) 18 Wadada Leo Smith, Amina Claudine Myers:Central Parks Mosaic... 18 *MAPL Kris Davis Trio: Run the Gauntlet 17 Julian Lage: Speak To Me 16 Tyshawn Sorey Trio: The Susceptible Now(w. Aaron Diehl) 15 The Messthetics & James Brandon Lewis: 15 Bill Frisell: Orchestra s 14 Alice Coltrane: The Carnegie Hall Concert 13 Jeff Parker ETA IVtet: The Way Out of Easy 13 Kenny Barron: Beyond This Place 13 David Murray Quartet: Francesca 13 Matthew Shipp Trio: New Concepts in Piano Jazz 12 Chris Potter, Mehldau, Patittuci, Blade: Eagle's Point 12 Keith Jarrett: The old country, Live at the deer Head Inn 12 Joel Ross: NuBlues 11 Fred Hersch: Silent Listening 10 Tomeka Reid Quartet 3+3: 10 Meshell Ndegeocello: No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin 10 Jasmine Myra: Rising 10 Oded Tzur: My Prophet 10…
I have found close to 1000 jazz lp's that have been rated by about 120 critics, reviewers, and jazz lovers and posted online. Of these 1000 I've listened to a small fraction, and picked out a few that have so far stood out for me. And I'm playing you tracks from those albums and talking a bit about them. Here are the albums I'm featuring this episode. Galliano: Halfway Somewhere EABS: Reflections of Purple Sun (and also including an excerpt from the original Purple Sun by Tomasz Stanko) Etienne Charles Creole Orchestra Charles McPherson: Reverence Danael Olano: The Children's Corner Alexi Tuomarila Trio: Departing the Wasteland Monty Alexander: D-Day Matt Wilson's Good Trouble Andrea Whiting: The Illiminality of Her…
I'm in the process of tabulating all the choices of 'best albums' as selected by jazz critics and jazz aficianados and posted online. Then I play a track from some of those albums on this 5 part series. This week: tracks from current recordings by this year's Grammy nominees Kenny Barron and Samara Joy. And from critically heralded albums by Bill Frisell, Michael Mayo, Kris Davis, Andy Milne, Fabiano do Nascimento & Sam Gendel, Jennie Scheinman, Modern Jazz & Folk Ensemble, Emmet Cohen, and Verneri Pohjola.…
Posting this episode a few hours earlier than usual----so you have more time to savour these delightful Christmas, Chanukah, Yuletide, New Years, and Winter tunes played by some of today's finest jazz artists. I also talk a bit about the history of some of the tunes. But not so much talk and lots of music. Very different from the seasonal music you hear in the stores.…
This podcast originally started as a Trent Radio program in 2016. It became a podcast in 2017. The original goal was to discover more about jaz, answering questions like what is jazz, what isn't jazz, how has it developed, do you have to understand it to like it, and what can someone new to jazz look for. I still don't know the answers to those questions even after 8 years....so I guess I have to continue doing it. For this 300th episode I play an eclectic array with the only commonality being that they are all recordings I feel like playing right now. It includes tracks by Vince Guaraldi, Ellas Kapell, Gene (Eugene) McDaniels, Count Basie, Stu Goldberg, George Russell, Susan Alcorn, Sandro Dominelli, Wayne Shorter, and ---believe it or not---Lou Christie. And hopefully they are presented in a way that the whole program feels cohesive. Feedback is always appreciated....please post it on whatever podcast site from which you get your podcasts. Thanks. -Larry…
It's a different kind of review because rather than reviewing the different topics I've put forward over the years, I'm doing a random review of some of the records I played. What you hear this week (and last) I picked out of a table of random numbers. And everything turned out to be either excellent---or at least very good. I even unintentionally selected two recordings that are strictly blues.....and pretty classic blues. One from 1927, and the other from 1981. The ending tune is the one that introduced Afro Cuban jazz to New York. Two Canadian artists selected are both from Victoria B.C., where I lived for about three years. And one selection ended up being very appropriate for the winter holiday season (I don't say "Christmas" because it's not actually a Christmas song). Lots more, too. A total of 13 great jazz or jazz oriented selections.…
I take a random sample of music I've played since I first started this podcast in 2017. And here's what came up! (Don't read this if you want to be as surprised as I was re. what's on this episode). Showtime--Jim Head (Edmonton guitarist) Ne Me Quitte Pas--Nina Simone Koff Drops--Moe Koffman (the closing theme to CBC Radio's "As It Happens") Body and Soul---Ellas Kapell (an interesting Swedish group) Nashon--Masada (originally suggested---and beautifully described---by Peter Waddell of Northern Ireland) Aman--Ahmed Moneka (Afro-Iraqui Sufi Music). Just Because We're Kids--Paul Horn and Lynn Blessing (jazz version of Dr. Seuss and Friedrich Hollander tune) Take Five: Stop The Violence--Warren B. Cooper Speak to Me--Julian Lage No Moon at All---Diana Krall In My Life--Tuck & Patti (such a beautiful rendition of this Beatles classic).…
The vinyl are some great albums that I found at a garage sale this past month. The Shellac are some 78rpm records that were at my local Goodwill Store. Did you know that 78rpm records are some of the 'greenest' technology ever invented? Infinitely recycleable. Great music by the likes of Nat King Cole Trio, Coleman Hawkins, Hazel Scott, Gerry Mulligan, Horace Silver, Johnny Pate Quintet, Blossom Dearie, Otis Williams and the Charms, Ziggy Elman, and even Guy Lombardo. And don't forget Skinnay Ennis. Have you ever heard of him? What a fascinating voice.…
People make fun of them. But when I researched jazz accordionists I found so many great ones that it was a challenge to 'squeeze-box' them into one episode. Names like Ben Rosenblum, Art Van Damme, Tommy Gumina, Richard Galliano, Mat Mathews, and David Lange are heralded musicians who play great jazz. And on this episode I also play a few who are 'far-out there'---like Joelle Leandre, and Bube Sapravie. Then there are some fine Canadian acordionist s like Tom Sczesniac, Adrian Dolan, Gordie Fleming, This is an episode that accordion fans---and those willing to 'explore' the instrument's many possibilities---shouldn't miss. Addendum: You can now follow my posts on Bluesky (an alternative to twitter or 'x' to which many people are turning). @larrytheradioguy.bsky.social…
