What the buzz is about with The LMB!

“Lauren Mitchell is one of the best I've seen.  She is on her way to that place that makes us smile when we get to see the best.  Check her out, an incredible act, and a fine CD.”                      

Tommy Lee Cook, Owner, The Buckingham Blues Bar, February 17^th, 2013

“Much thanks to Lauren Mitchell and her band for another amazing evening at The Alley Blues, Sanford. One of the best sounding shows we've ever had..”

Richard Boogaart, The Alley Blues, Sanford, Florida, February 2^nd, 2013

“Lauren manages a pretty neat trick as a performer. She can deliver a fully sensual version of “I Just Want To Make Love To You,” complete with some gyrations and leg kicks on top of the Hammond B3 – then go right into a gospel number without giving her audience whiplash. The guys love the form fitting  pants and the women are drawn to her “Just one of the girls” personality.”

Paul Wilborn, Executive Director, The Palladium, January 28, 2013

“On display was the real soul of the BLUES world.  I don’t often pick an individual artist on a day like this.  They were all wonderful and performed at their best----but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the BLUES singing of Lauren Mitchell.  All I can say is “WOW”.”

Al Kanovsky, Jazz & Blues Florida, November 14, 2012

“Frontwoman Lauren Mitchell and her galvanizing pipes are backed by a gang of seasoned rock ‘n rollers and bluesmen, all of whom share Mitchell’s affinity for raw power tempered by polished technique.”

Sara Moone, Herald-Tribune, July 24, 2012

“I credit the buzz of energy here to The Lauren Mitchell Band live on stage, with their eponymous lead singer looking sassy in denim and red high heels, purring and roaring into the microphone and tossing her curly mop about with true rock star abandon. When I arrive, she’s on stage, visibly feeling the music, lifting and lowering her very well-defined eyebrows and gesticulating wildly with a single diva-esque hand.”

The Scenestress, Herald-Tribune, August 2, 2011

The December 2012 issue of Tampa Bay’s Mayhem Magazine featured Lauren on the cover.  You can read the article here: http://content.yudu.com/Library/A203a6/December2012TampaBay/resources/index.htm?referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Ffree.yudu.com%2Fitem%2Fdetails%2F667691%2FDecember-2012-Tampa-Bay-s-Mayhem-Magazine

"Yesterdays" in the afternoon but "Tomorrows" catch up at night. Does Al's life really have a 'night' and 'day'? Perhaps not....

Submitted by Al Kanovsky 2/28/13

Way back in the yesteryear, if I had a lady visitor, I would make sure there was plenty of Johnny Hartmann on the turntable. There was something there that promoted romance. To provide the fun it was Joe Williams voice and to close the deal the intimacy of Lou Rawls. Believe me it was a formula for success within the range of 70 to 80 percent mutual satisfaction.  >No one is perfect<   Wednesday afternoon LeNard Rutledge was the featured performer of MJC's JAZZ in the Gables. The rhythm section was made up of Dave Seigel(keys), Josh Allen(bass) and Carlo (magnifico) Araya on drums. Carlo let it drop that he is continuing his education in quest of his doctorate. He is dedicated to the task at hand. If you decide on a singing career be sure to get Dave, Josh and Carlomagno to back you on any gig. You cannot do better.

LeNard has taken the mellowness of Hartmann, the phrasing and scat skills of Williams, and intensity of Rawls and created a voice all his own. The group opened with "So Nice To Come Home To". I want to let Turk Mauro know, they did SWING. I mean toe tappin', hand clappin' swing. Joe Donato was in the audience enjoying the performance along with my pals Deborah and Duane Crisp. My favorite grandma, Pixie, was there and yes we did dance. LeNard ran the gamut with ballads, jump tunes and even the BLUES. He, himself, had to comment on the attentiveness of the audience. When you play most JAZZ or BLUES clubs you are playing into a wall of chatter. Not at JAZZ in the Gables. They come to listen and they do. Get out to listen to LeNard if you can. He should be topping the charts. HBO Latino and (v)g-z(accountants) sponsor these events and I am thankful for their generosity. Tonight I will be at PAX for Aaron Lebos and the music of tomorrow.

Got to PAX early and had a chance to speak with Jim Gasior (keys) and Rudolfo Zuniga(drums) about the direction the young players were taking in the JAZZ world. Both agreed that it was definitely broadening the horizons and opening up lines of creativity without limiting borders. Eric England(bass) completed the Aaron Lebos (guitar) band.

Aaron has one of those pedal and switch boards that electric (tronic) guitarists use today. Eric's has so many pedals, switches, toggles etc. that you could control a battleship or at least a heavy cruiser. Fortunately he really doesn't need or use them all. The nights music was original and definitely provided a look toward the future. I was surprised at how well Jim, an educator, composer, arranger and long time performing artist, fit into and played this "new" music. I don't know if there was an identifiable time signature in any of the tunes presented. I do know that Rudolfo’s has a mastery of rhythm and kept the band on track and also doing very interesting solos. If you've read anything I have written before you know how I feel about Eric. Troy Roberts and Tim Zago dropped in to enjoy as well. Musicians have often told me "You must listen to learn".  I am listening and I am learning. When I first arrived Aaron thanked me for coming. As I always tell performing artists, "No need to thank me. I thank you for giving me all that you offer".

Fred Hersch Trio

“A brilliant technician, a thoughtful, elegant improviser; an artist with a curious ear.”                                                                       

- Fernando Gonzalez, The Miami Herald

DownBeat magazine called pianist and composer Fred Hersch "one of the small handful of brilliant musicians of his generation" and he has earned a place among the foremost jazz artists in the world today, having solidified a reputation as a versatile master of jazz piano, as well as a relentlessly probing composer and conceptualist. He is widely recognized for his ability steadfastly to create a unique body of original works while reinventing the standard jazz repertoire – investing time-tested classics, particularly those by Thelonious Monk, with keen insight, fresh ideas and extraordinary technique. Whether unaccompanied, in duo, working with his trio, qu intet or orchestral ensembles, Hersch has explored the jazz tradition to its fullest even as he opens new and undiscovered doors. Hersch's numerous accomplishments include a 2003 Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship for composition, and five Grammy® nominations for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Best Instrumental Composition, and Best Jazz Album. He has appeared on over one hundred recordings, including more than two-dozen albums as bandleader or solo pianist.

A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Hersch began playing the piano as a four-year-old. Much to his teacher's chagrin, a career in jazz could have been foreshadowed by the young Fred's propensity to improvise on the work of classical masters. Broadway original cast albums and his grandmother's collection of sheet music fed an early interest in popular songs. Hersch's musical journey led him to Boston's New England Conservatory, where he graduated with honors in 1977. Heading south to New York City, Hersch quickly became one of the most in-demand pianists in town, while also working as a soloist and in duo settings at the late, lamented Bradley's. As a sideman, he has appeared with such outstanding jazz artists as saxophonists Stan Getz, Joe Henderson, and Jane Ira Bloom; flugelhornist Art Farmer; harmonic a wizard Toots Thielemans; vibraphonist Gary Burton; bassists Sam Jones and Charlie Haden.

Mr. Hersch has acted as a passionate spokesman and fundraiser for AIDS services and education agencies since 1993, a cause to which he is especially devoted given his own courageous 26-year struggle with HIV. His most recent trio CD, Whirl (Palmetto Records), was recorded after a protracted life-threatening illness and two-month coma in 2008. It received widespread attention and rave reviews in the media. The culmination of that illness also sparked the commission of the multimedia production “My Coma Dreams” that premiered in May 2011. Just prior, he once again played a week sol o at the venerable Village Vanguard (he had also done so in 2005, the only pianist so honored). The final set of that engagement was released in 2011 under the title Fred Hersch – Alone at the Village Vanguard (Palmetto Records).

Mr. Hersch has been awarded a Rockefeller Fellowship, grants from The National Endowment for the Arts, and numerous composition residencies.  A committed educator, he conducted a Professional Training Workshop for Young Musicians at The Weill Institute at Carnegie Hall in 2008. He has given master classes and workshops around the world and teaches at The New School and The Manhattan School of Music; in addition to serving on the Jazz Studies faculty of The Juilliard School of Music and The New England Conservatory.

John Scofield’s Hollowbody Band featuring Mike Stern

It is helpful to understand that “hollow body” refers to a guitar construction! The band features two guitarists - the other being the redoubtable Mike Stern - who were Gary Burton protégés and also played in 1980s iterations of the Miles Davis band, giving both bona fide fusion credentials. Scofield, or “Sco,” as he is universally known, has influenced jazz since the late 70’s and is still going strong. Sco is a masterful jazz improviser whose music generally falls somewhere between post- bop jazz, funk-edged electronica, and even R & B. He is comfortable in several idioms and blurs the lines at will creating a distinctive musical style and personality.

May 11, 2013 – 8:00 PM

Tom Harrell Quintet

A supreme trumpeter and flugelhornist, Tom Harrell creates a seemingly endless flow of bubbling, intricate ideas conveyed with an almost serene delivery. Neither aggressively avant-garde, nor riveted in the past, Tom Harrell’s music simply celebrates sonic beauty for its own sake. Praised for his pure melodic brilliance, he is widely recognized as one of the most creative and uncompromising jazz instrumentalists and composers of our time. For over four decades, close to 300 recordings, and numerous accolades, Tom manages to stay fresh. His quintet has shown remarkable continuity and cohesion. It is a great band.

June 8, 2013 – 8:00 PM

Kurt Elling

There are no obvious parallels in the music industry. Chicago native Kurt Elling is the greatest male jazz singer – or just jazz singer – of our time. In a career spanning 16 years, Elling has risen to international prominence as a jazz artist and creative singer. An intellectual superman, he is a master of “vocalese” and scatting. Remarkably, each of his nine albums was nominated for a Grammy® Award and Dedicated to You won in 2010. He is a perennial critics poll-winner and his quartet tours the world, performing to critical acclaim in Europe, Asia, Canada, Israel, and Australia. This will be Mr. Elling’s fifth performance for South Florida JAZZ.

   Funding for this organization is provided in part by the Broward County Board of Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Division.

'Forgive Me'

Little Mike & The Tornadoes new CD release, 'Forgive Me' is nothing you have ever heard before - literally! All songs are originals and not previously released. Nine of the eleven cuts on this CD were written by singer / songwriter / producer / and harpist Mike Markowitz, and two tunes by guitarist Troy Nahumko. This is not a 'blues cover' CD. This is the real stuff - flawless, high energy and modeled after the great Chicago bands of the 1950's. Real music by real people.

This "new" CD, 'Forgive Me' is a part of history from Florida's famous King Snake Records. It was recorded, ready for release in 2000, and then due to the death of Bob Greenlee, the CD sat on the shelf and was never released - until NOW. These are all the tracks from this historic CD that also features great blues players who are no longer with us, Ace Moreland and Warren King. The CD also features Jim McKaba, Troy Nahumko, Cam Robb, Chris Brzezicki, Sonny Rhodes with Little Mike (Mike Markowitz). This label's music is seminal to the Florida blues sound that can still be heard in today’s music.

a monday miracle and bluesy tuesday...Al keeps the calendar tight...

Submitted by Al Kanovsky 2/27/13

Those of you who might wager on such things, would have scored on Monday if they had chosen that as the night I would not go out to listen to music. After a long weekend that started with Little Mike & The Tornadoes in Gainesville, Troy Roberts and Nu-Jive, Saturday at Arts Garage, all the birthday celebrants at Blue Jeans Blues and Michele’s---Tony, Mike and Mo---The old bod crashed. It pleaded for a break and the mind responded.

I made up for that transgression on what I will call "Bluesy Tuesday". The musical Bobby Nathan family took control of "thoity thoid" street in Ft. Lauderdale. Bobby at Fishtale’s with the traditional Tuesday BLUES Jam and Joanne at Blue Jeans BLUES with the Hope Band. The Hope Band, Hope(vocals), Roderick Kohn, aka Moish McKinnon,(guitar), Rob Peterson(bass), Gary Grant(drums) and Joanne Nathan on the Hammond SK1. I had never heard Hope or the band prior to this so it was an anticipatory moment when she piped her first notes. Captivating to say the least. Her voice holds all the elements of soul, funk, JAZZ, BLUES, and Gospel. You know right off that the church is in her background. Originally from Atlanta, the strong influence of southern church singing is evident and effective. Ms. Hopes set started at 8, Bobby Nathan would start at 9. Absolutely perfect for bar-hopping and only a few steps away from each other. Bobby's band had Andy G. on drums, Steven B. on bass and standing in for Muggy Doo on keys was "Sonny" Boyd Williams. If you like BLUES it's hard to do better. To and fro, back and forth, a beverage, a bite and most of all music. Bobby dedicated the evening to Eric Clapton, the band and jammers playing a lot of Eric's hits.

Sitting in were 3 or 4 guys named Steve on drums, Lee on keys, Jimmy on a soulful tenor sax and an impressive Anthony Steele on guitar. Anthony, tatted arms and all, looks like he would more likely be a bouncer or the leader of a Harley riders club. The cat can PLAY. By the way, Bobby's Jam, a tradition on Tuesday night, stays at Fishtale’s but moves to Wednesday next week.

Back to BJB's and the Hope band. She did a really great "You Make Me Feel" and even though I wanted to get back to Fishtale’s, her voice and interpretation of songs kept me in my chair 'til she finally said "Good Night". Hope's husband, William Gary does her sound and videos. Mr. Gary is Vice-President of the Fort Lauderdale Community Center. Their mission--Uniting Broward through Arts, Education & Social Services--a truly worthy cause.

Me and Rod, Rob and Joanne made our way 'cross the street for Bobby. I was glad I did. Bob and Rod (you remember, Moish) joined the band and Jamie "King" Colton sat down at the keyboard. It's after midnight and the joint is rocking----"better than chicken fried in bacon grease." I did my usual "thing" and stayed 'til they put the key in the door.

Thanks to all the musicians, to Blue Jeans BLUES, to Fishtale’s, all the staff and management---you make it all worthwhile.

Next Friday, March 8, is the Dillard Center for the Arts "Denim and Diamonds Gala" to benefit their national award winning Jazz Ensemble. They will be honoring Mari Mennel Bell and the music will be provided by the award winning students of the school. Try to support this great music school which brings much honor to Broward County. I will be there dependent on my handicapping/wagering skills at Gulfstream this week.
