MIAMI, FL - Master trombonist and member of the famed Marsalis family, Delfeayo Marsalis appears 8 p.m., Thursday, August 13 for the final Coral Gables Congregational Church Community Arts Program 2009 Summer Concert Series event. Delfeayo takes the stage with his quintet of players (piano, trumpet, saxophone, bass, and drums) for an unforgettable evening.

Delfeayo began playing at age 13, producing his first recording at 17. He has since produced over 75 major-label recordings--several of which have received Grammy awards and nominations--including works by Harry Connick, Jr.; Marcus Roberts; Spike Lee; father, Ellis Marsalis; and brothers, Branford and Wynton Marsalis. His production skills earned a 3M Visionary Award in 1996 and a cover article for the industry source in 1997: Mix magazine.

Marsalis attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music, majoring in both performance and audio production. He was classically trained at the Eastern Music Festival and Tanglewood Institute. In 1983, Mr. Marsalis received the Outstanding Performance Award from the Jefferson Performing Arts Society for his presentation of Marcello's Sonata #6.

Mr. Marsalis has toured internationally with legendary jazz artists Art Blakey; Abdullah Ibrahim; Elvin Jones; Slide Hampton and Max Roach, as well as touring with his own modern jazz ensemble. A mainstay on the New Orleans modern jazz scene, he has released three solo albums to critical acclaim, Pontius Pilate's Decision, Musashi and Minions' Dominion. Along with late trombone master J.J. Johnson, several music reviewers have labeled Mr. Marsalis as one of the freshest modern voices on the instrument to arrive in the 90's.

Marsalis has written musical scores for television and stage and has devoted much of his time to providing musical education programs for young people. In 1993, his original D-Blues was commissioned by "Meet the Composer" for the Filmore Arts Center in Washington D.C. In 1995, Mr. Marsalis lectured in public and parochial schools on behalf of the Dallas Opera and the Bravo cable network. He has served as director of the Foundation for Artistic and Musical Excellence summer program since 1998. Mr. Marsalis founded the Uptown Music Theatre in 2000, created specifically to provide 8-12th grade youth with musical theatre training. To date, UMT has prepared over three hundred students, ages 8-18, and staged ten original musicals.

In 2004, Mr. Marsalis obtained an M.A. in jazz performance at the University of Louisville. In 2009, he implemented Uptown Music Theatre's Kidstown AfterSchool in three New Orleans grammar schools. In addition, Delfeayo will release a new album entitled Sweet Thunder, an Ellington suite based upon the literary brilliance of William Shakespeare.

Guitars Stolen in Central Florida

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs

July 27, 2009
Someone stole three of my Taylor Guitars; a 12 string and two 6 strings. The 12 string was a model 754 CE, serial # 20051004110. I bought one of the 6 strings a month ago and it was a model 314 CE and that serial # is 20081015011. The information for the other 6 string is somewhere in my storage unit but it has a Jon Parrot sticker right under the Taylor sticker inside the guitar. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon Parrot

August 6 Full Moon Jazz Excitement on Hollywood Beach, Florida

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs

Full Moon Jazz on Hollywood Beach, Florida, on August 6, 2009 will feature very special artists Madd Jazz Quartet, Ira Sullivan and Oriente in the monthly free public performance series.

Madd Jazz Quartet includes three young siblings from the family Maddox: Kevin (17), Chase (16), and Emily (14). Each began playing piano at an early age and picked up their second instrument, alto sax, guitar, and drums respectively, about 5 years ago. Their mentors include some of South Florida's premier musicians and educators: Ira Sullivan, Brian Murphy, John Yarling, Duffy Jackson, Ed Maina, Jim Gasior, William Stewart, Richard Procopio, Eddie Balzola (Oriente) and staff of Music Tech in Pembroke Pines. The young artists also study at the Simon Salz UM Frost School of Music Young Musicians’ Summer Camp, and eldest brother Kevin will depart soon after this concert to begin studies at The University of North Florida. View promo from Madd Jazz performing at NYC's Jazz Standard Club last December. http://www.youtube.com/user/MaddJazzFL

Legendary Jazz great Ira Sullivan who also directs at the Young Musicians Camp will join the band along with excellent young bass player David Llanas. Audiences will be in the company of greatness when the elder statesman of Jazz, who's played with everyone from Charlie Parker and Dizzie Gillespie to Jaco Pastorius and Randy Brecker (to name a few!), plays sax, trumpet, flugelhorn and flute with the wisdom of his years and tone and energy of a musician one third his age! http://www.myspace.com/irasullivan

Popular Latin Jazz band Oriente will follow with a magnificent sextet, featuring their signature sound with soulful lead guitar melodies backed by warm, solid bass lines, trombone and trumpet harmonies, and an explosive Afro-Cuban percussion section. Songs from their new cd release NOW will be featured, and Mr. Sullivan may be enticed to jump on stage with his cabasa and dig the Latin rhythms and Jazz! www.myspace.com/orienteworldmusic

Eldar Djangirov, Jazz Pianist, in Concert in Coral Gables Florida this Thursday

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs

Coral Gables Congregational Church
Community Arts Program
2009 Summer Concert Series Presents:

ELDAR DJANGIROV, jazz pianist

Time and Date:
8 p.m., Thursday, July 30

Venue:
Coral Gables Congregational Church
3010 De Soto Boulevard
Coral Gables, FL 33134
(directly across from the Biltmore Hotel)

Tickets:
$25-$40 in advance
(305) 448-7421, x 33
Online: www.communityartsprogram.org

MIAMI, FL - Pianist Eldar Djangirov has accomplished something that the vast majority of jazz artists, pianists or otherwise, will never accomplish: he landed a contract with a major label and received a GRAMMY nomination before he could have a drink. Eldar has recorded five albums, of which, three are with Sony Classical, including the 2008 GRAMMY-nominated album for Best Contemporary Jazz Album, Re-Imagination.

A current resident of New York City, Eldar was born in 1987 to Russian parents in the former Soviet Union. He spent his first ten years in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, a province on the eastern border (of the then Soviet Union), before coming to the United States. His first performance appearance in the U.S. was at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan. Marian McPartland invited Eldar to appear on her NPR Piano Jazz radio show at the age of 12. In 2001, Eldar took top prize in the jazz piano competition of the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. The following year, he won first place in the Peter Nero Piano Competition. He then released two albums independently.

In 2004, Eldar signed with Sony Classical and recorded his third album, Eldar, featuring John Patitucci and a special guest appearance from Michael Brecker. This was followed by the critically acclaimed Live at the Blue Note with guest appearances from Roy Hargrove and Chris Botti. Downbeat's four-star review states, "Few musicians on any axe swing like Eldar...his groove is intense and overwhelming. It's not the flash and fire that should stir interest in Eldar. It's what he does when the razzle-dazzle dies down and we sense substance within and beyond his pyrotechnics." The New York Times notes, "formidable technique wedded to a mature grasp of musical structure."

Eldar has appeared at many festivals including IAJE, Lionel Hampton; Jakarta Jazz Festival; SXSW; and CMJ, and has toured throughout North America, South America, Europe and Asia. He has performed at venues ranging from the Hollywood Bowl to Carnegie Hall and headlined at the most notable jazz venues in the world, including Blue Note (NY, Japan, Italy); Dizzy's; Yoshi's; and Jazz Alley. Eldar has been seen on national TV including the 2000 and 2008 GRAMMY's, Conan O'Brien, CNN, The CBS Saturday Early Show, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. Eldar appears on the 2009 Summer Concert Series with his trio of piano, jazz bass, and drums.

National Endowment for the Arts Announces 2009-2010 NEA Jazz Masters Live Grants

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs

Unique opportunities to engage with more than 25 NEA Jazz Masters

July 27, 2009

Washington, DC -- For the second year, the National Endowment for the Arts will bring outstanding jazz musicians, writers, producers, and scholars to communities across the nation through NEA Jazz Masters Live. For the 2009-10 season, 12 organizations will receive grants totaling $250,000 through the program to support multi-event, extended engagements, featuring many jazz greats who have received an NEA Jazz Masters Award, the nation’s highest honor in jazz. Managed by Arts Midwest, the program offers audiences the unique opportunity to enter into a deeply creative and ultimately personal dialogue with these renowned artists.

Among the more than 25 NEA Jazz Masters participating in NEA Jazz Masters Live events are Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, Jimmy Heath, Ahmad Jamal, and Hank Jones, as well as jazz historian and educator Dan Morgenstern and festival producer and pianist George Wein. The 12 grant recipients include venues such as the Detroit International Jazz Festival and the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans.


"Jazz artists have wonderful music to share and fascinating stories to tell." said Acting NEA Chair Patrice Walker Powell. "We are fortunate to have among our NEA Jazz Masters many of the artists who have been on the forefront of change and NEA Jazz Masters Live provides audiences with invaluable access to both their music and their stories."

Through NEA Jazz Masters Live, the Masters share their expertise in performances, master classes, clinics, lectures, and short term residencies. The majority of the grantees will present several NEA Jazz Masters. For instance, as part of the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival in Vermont, the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts will feature three NEA Jazz Masters in residence: saxophonist and composer Sonny Rollins, guitarist and composer Jim Hall, and critic, journalist, and record producer Nat Hentoff.


During the first year of NEA Jazz Masters Live in 2007-2008, 28 Masters participated in engagements such as:

NEA Jazz Masters Week that included a moderated "sound table" discussion with Nancy Wilson and John Levy was presented by the Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild.
The Detroit International Jazz Festival presented twelve different events, featuring eight NEA Jazz Masters, included "talking tent" sessions with the artists and performances by student ensembles under the direction of Benny Golson and Jimmy Heath.

He plays 70-plus concerts a year and Oliver Jones, 74, ‘still loves a good tune’

By STEPHEN PEDERSEN

Tue. Jul 14 - 4:46 AM

"CANADA’S FAVOURITE jazz pianist, Oliver Jones, tried to retire 10 years ago, but his mentor and friend, Oscar Peterson, with whom he shares a two-handed tsunami approach to the keyboard, wouldn’t let him get away with it. "I stopped playing for close to five years at the end of ’99," Jones said over the phone from his Montreal summer home last week."

Delta Boogie Newsletter - July 2009

Hi,

Monday July 13, it's Essie the Blueslady at KASU Blue Monday in
Newport. Then on the 20th it's Jeannie and The Guys in Paragould. I
hope to see you there.

Speaking of Blue Monday here's a link to a Davis Coen show I recorded
at Blue Monday in Newport on April, 13, 2009. This came out really
good. Thanks to Davis for helping me with the post production.

http://www.archive.org/details/dc2009-04-13

George and I are playing Thursday, July 30 at the Edge Coffeehouse on
Aggie Road near ASU. The show is from 7-9. Put it on your calendar or
you will forget by the time July 30 rolls around.

And don't forget Rob Alley on Tuesdays and Jazz Alliance on Thursdays
at The Edge.

I bought a Musser M67 xylophone, kind of like a smaller marimbas.
I've been loving it. Back to practicing. Working with two mallets.

A lot of the songs for the Something Blue podcast are hosted at Delta
Boogie Radio. This keeps the playlists churning. I've added songs by
John Shepherd, Larry Donn, Richard Murray, Davis Coen, and Kenny
Crider recently. Link on over and enjoy Delta Boogie Radio.

http://deltaboogie.com/hifi

And here's a link to the Something Blue website where you can hear
much of this same music in podcast format.

http://sbblues.com

I recommend the .m3u playlist files. Winamp works great. There's even
a dialup version for the bandwidth constrained. All the songs are
legal downloads.

Spread the word.

Thanks,

Hairy Larry

Send me an email or log on to Delta Boogie and network with me. I
love hearing from you.

Please forward and publicize freely. The Delta Boogie monthly
newsletter keeps you informed of what's new on Delta Boogie. It also
promotes Something Blue, Hairy Larry and George, The Mudcats, The
Flying Hungarians, Bunky's Breakfast Emporium Orkestra, and other
Delta Boogie artists including our Sunday In The Park and Blues Fest
festivals at the Craighead Forest Bandshell in Jonesboro.

Trigger Alpert, Glenn Miller's Bass Player, Interview

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs

Here is another great article about a Florida Jazz great....

Ponte Vedra man helped put the swing into the Glenn Miller Orchestra
Seven decades later, Bass player Trigger Alpert reflects on time with band
By Matt Soergel
Story updated at 12:08 PM on Sunday, Jul. 12, 2009

"As the Glenn Miller Orchestra romps through "Chattanooga Choo Choo" in the movie "Sun Valley Serenade," it's clear there's one musician who's having way more fun than the rest. That's Trigger Alpert, the dark-haired kid in the ski sweater, shoulders bopping as he slaps the bejeezus out of his stand-up bass, right leg pumping to the beat, mouth open at the sheer "ain't this amazing?" joy of being at this place, playing this song, at this time.

It's 1941, and Trigger Alpert is swinging. Just swinging, laying down the bass beat that keeps this "Choo Choo" chugging.

Almost seven decades later, he sits under a framed photo in which he's wearing a big grin - and that same ski sweater. It's a signed publicity shot, and he's clowning around with Miller, whose writing, though faded, can still be read: "Hello Mom. How do you like the stars of Sun Valley? GM.""

AZ Kenny Tsak's LIKE I DO CD receives great reviews world-wide

In its first two weeks of release Like I Do received significant national and international airplay. It was selected by Blues Deluxe, which syndicates to 109 radio stations with over $2.1 million listeners around the world and Real Blues Magazine listed the album at #39 in its 100 TOP CDs.

Here's what a few folks have been saying about the album.

“Tsak is some kind of roadhouse-flavored bluesy rock and country guy, with a tough little band around him that swings behind sharp guitar work, driving bass, keyboards that roll like the river, and sax that's lusty to the point of embarrassment.” Jim White, BlueNotes Blog

“AZ Kenny Tsak may be a new name to most blues fans, but you would think that he’d been around for years from the sound of things on Like I Do. I hate to think we missed out on thirty years of this kind of music with Mr. Tsak, but I’m glad he’s with us now.
” Graham Clarke, Blues Bytes

“White boy blues is tough enough to pull off in the first place but Tsak certainly has us wanting to hear more. By all means, check it out, you’ll be surprised what a winner this is.” Chris Spector, Midwest Record

”My rule of never judging a book by its cover rang in my ears as l listened to an unbelievably good album. Track after track held me totally in its spell with Kenny's wonderful voice and playing. This is a seriously GOOD CD to say the least.
” Peter Merrett, PBS, Australia

“Kenny sounds like macho blues-rock player with come-here-baby attitude and a lot of talent for writing catchy, soon-to-be-radio-hits songs.” Przemek Draheim, Blues.pl

LIKE I DO is available at
www.56Deluxe.com, ITunes, Amazon & CD Baby

MIAMI, FL - Acclaimed for her extraordinary lyricism, technique and versatility, GRAMMY Award winner Sharon Isbin has been hailed as "the pre-eminent guitarist of our time." Winner of the Madrid, Toronto, and Munich Competitions, and Guitar Player's "Best Classical Guitarist" award, Ms. Isbin has served as Artistic Director/Soloist of festivals she created for Carnegie Hall and New York's 92nd Street Y, and the acclaimed national radio series Guitarjam. A frequent guest on NPR's All Things Considered and Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion,she has been profiled on CBS Sunday and was a featured guest on Showtime Television's hit series The L Word. She has been featured in periodicals from People to the New York Times, as well as on the cover of more than 35 magazines. Most recently, she is featured on Howard Shore's 2008 GRAMMY- nominated soundtrack CD for The Departed.

With a catalogue over 25 recordings, from Baroque, Spanish/Latin and 20th Century to crossover and jazz-fusion, Sharon Isbin has expanded the guitar repertoire with some of the finest new works of the century. Her American Landscapes CD with the SPCO features concerti written for her by Corigliano, Schwantner, and Foss. In 2003 she premiered Duarte's Joan Baez Suite, and in 2005 she premiered a duo by rock guitarist Steve Vai in their joint concert during her week of performances in Paris' Théâtre du Châtelet.

In 2001, Ms. Isbin made history as the first classical guitarist to receive a GRAMMY in 28 years for her Dreams of a World album. She received a 2005 Latin GRAMMY nomination for "Best Classical Album" and a 2006 GLAAD Award nomination for "Outstanding Music Artist" for her Billboard Top 10 Classical disc with the New York Philharmonic of Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez and concerti by Mexican composer Manuel Ponce and Brazilian Heitor Villa-Lobos. This marks the Philharmonic's first-ever recording with guitar, and follows its Avery Fisher Hall performances with Ms. Isbin as its first guitar soloist in 26 years. In her latest CD Journey to the New World, she is joined by Joan Baez in songs, and by fiddler Mark O'Connor in the world premiere of his suite for violin and guitar.

Ms. Isbin has appeared as soloist with over 160 orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, National Symphony, Baltimore, Houston, and Dallas Symphonies, the Zurich Chamber Orchestras, the London Symphony, Orchestre National de France, BBC Scottish, Milan, and Tokyo Symphonies. Festival appearances include Mostly Mozart, Aspen, Ravinia, Grant Park, Interlochen, Santa Fe, Mexico City, Bermuda, Hong Kong, Montreux, Strasbourg, Paris, Athens, Istanbul, Ravenna, Prague, and Budapest International Festivals.

Beginning her studies at nine in Italy, she went on to study with Andrès Segovia, Oscar Ghiglia, and Rosalyn Tureck. She received a B.A. and Masters from Yale, is the author of the Classical Guitar Answer Book, and directs guitar departments at the Aspen Music Festival and The Juilliard School.

Concert goers will particularly enjoy this 2009 Summer Concert event with Sharon Isbin: an intimate evening of music by Leo Brouwer, Granados, Tárrega and Albéniz, among others. A special highlight will be John Duarte's hauntingly beautiful Joan Baez Suite, Op. 144.
