Birdland at 60, Barry at 80, and Lee at the Iridium.
The past two weeks have found me in NYC for various jazz celebrations and performances. I was able to catch several sets of my friend and mentor, alto saxophonist Lee Konitz. The first of those sets included a week run at Birdland with Brad Mehldau, Charlie Haden, and Paul Motian, celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the club and recording a live album for ECM(one evening included audience members Pat Metheny, Jeff Bridges, and Maggie Gyllenhaal). Following that was Barry Harris's 80th Birthday Party at Shutters with a performance by Charles Davis, Richard Wyands, Paul West, and Leroy Williams and then it was back to New York to see the rarest of treats: Lee Konitz and Mark Turner with Ethan Iverson, Ben Street and Albert "Tootie" Heath at the Iridium. The interplay between Turner and Konitz, improvising simultaneuously on complex lines including "Background Music", "317 East 32nd Street", "Palo Alto", "SubconsciousLee", and infusing standards with fresh and organic improvisations was as close to the heyday of Konitz/Marsh as I would come, but also new and inspiring to both the musicians and the audience.
During this latest sojourn to absorb the influence of my heroes, a Bob Brookmeyer interview with Eric Nemeyer published in the December 2009 issue of Jazz Inside NY, caught my attention. You can download the issue at link above or pick up a copy at most clubs in NYC. Here is an excerpt:
BB: "...the other option is that nobody is necessarily going to pay you to do what you want to do. There was something I wanted to do called The Electric Theatre Orchestra. The band was going to be great but I couldn't get funding for it. I realized that if I wanted to do it, I would have to work for half a year, save the money, and I pay the money to support my dream - because it is nobody else's dream right now. So if you're going to be what they call a pure artist, you do whatever you have to do to support it however you have to support it."

The University of the Streets was incorporated in 1969 as a non-profit educational organization, spearheaded by Muhammad Salahuddeen. Over the past 40 years U.O.T.S. has been committed to addressing the educational, vocational and cultural needs of the community. Initially, U.O.T.S was launched to help "deprived" youngsters break out of a hopeless poverty-cycle, although, the target population has expanded with respect to age, and diversity, over the years due to historical and economic impact. In the past 40 years countless lives have been turned around. Many of our graduates have gone on to achieve amazing successes, a fact in which we take considerable pride. We, at U.O.T.S., have also gained a wealth of varied and challenging experience; experience which has taught us many valuable lessons about educating young people. U.O.T.S. continues a forerunner in establishing innovative approaches to teaching.

About HOD O'BRIEN:
There are jazz legends and then there are the “underground of the jazz renowned” – those who, although not as well known to the general public, are hailed by critics, revered by their legendary peers, influential upon younger players and sought after by collectors and cognoscenti.
Hod O’Brien is one of these quiet-and-true jazz giants. He burst upon the scene in the late 50s when he came to New York City from his hometown in the Berkshire Mountains of Northwest Connecticut near Lenox, Mass. and Tanglewood. He soon became part of the “loft scene” jamming with other bop-influenced players like Pepper Adams, Kenny Burrell, Oscar Pettiford and Stan Getz, to name a few. At the age of 21, he was hired to record with Art Farmer, Donald Byrd and Idrees Sulieman on a record which has become a classic, “Three Trumpets” (now retitled “Trumpets All Out” on the Prestige label). He became an active part of the NY scene playing at such historical clubs as Birdland, the Continental, the Cork and Bib, the Black Pearl and Small’s Paradise.
While still 21, O’Brien was asked by Red Rodney to take Bill Evans’ place in the Oscar Pettiford Quintet. The group alternated sets with Thelonious Monk at the famous Five Spot, among other appearances. After this stint with Pettiford, O’Brien joined up with tenor saxophonist J.R. Monterose in a band which included Elvin Jones and Wilbur Ware.
NEW CD by the Brad Linde Ensemble available NOW!
"Feeling That Way Now", the first CD by the BLE, is now available on CDbaby.com. This recording documents the ensemble's celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the "Birth of the Cool" and the "Thelonious Monk Orchestra at Town Hall" concert of 1959.

About Dan Tepfer:
Critics have called New York-based pianist/composer Dan Tepfer "brilliant" (the New York Times), "impressive" (the Boston Globe) and "certainly among those clearly willing to play with familiar formulas and take new approaches, even as he incorporates strokes from the masters (Jazzreview.com). While he has played with some of the great names in jazz — Lee Konitz, Steve Lacy, Paul Motian, Ralph Towner, to name a few — he strives to create music that is distinctly of our time. The young artist’s breadth and talent have won recognition in the form of the first prize and audience prize at the 2006 Montreux Jazz Festival Solo Piano Competition, the first prize at the 2006 East Coast Jazz Festival Competition, and the first prize at the 2007 competition of the American Pianists Association — leading him to be named the 2007-2009 Cole Porter Fellow in Jazz.
Recent collaborations include a duo project with saxophonist Lee Konitz,
with whom he has been performing since early 2007, as well as a string of
engagements with saxophonist Charles McPherson’s quartet. As a leader,
he tours internationally with his trio and has been named a Cultural Envoy
of the U.S. State Department, with recent travels to Azerbaijan, Georgia,
Czech Republic and Korea. He is also a classical composer. His piece Solo
Blues for Violin and Piano was recently premiered at Carnegie Hall, and he
is currently working on a concerto for improvising piano and orchestra to
be premiered in the fall of this year.
