SUMMARY:Matt Wilson's Honey & Salt
DESCRIPTION:About Matt Wilson\nFew musicians embody the spontaneous energy of jazz like Matt Wilson. The New York-based drummer combines buoyant zeal\, idiosyncratic style\, infectious humor\, joyous swing and an indomitable spirit of surprise. Together\, with his universally recognized personal warmth\, these qualities have made Wilson one of the most in-demand players and educators on the modern jazz scene\, both beloved and respected by his peers\, elders and students. Not bad for a mischievous Midwestern boy from Knoxville\, Illinois. \nWhether anchoring an all-star group at the White House\, juggling tricky rhythmic swerves with his own quartets\, celebrating the holidays with his Christmas Tree-O\, exploring the poetry of Carl Sandburg\, sensitively supporting vocalists such as Dena DeRose\, presenting concerts at a neighborhood church or donning a superhero cape to inspire young musicians to embrace their individuality\, Wilson approaches music as a man on a mission: fostering a lively and passionate connection between music and people\, whether they be playing or listening to it. \nWilson has released thirteen albums as a leader. His latest recording\, Honey And Salt (Music Inspired By The Poetry Of Carl Sandburg)\, was recognized on over thirty worldwide “Best of 2017” lists\, including Top Ten in the National Public Radio Critics Poll\, JazzTimes\, Irish Times\, Boston Globe\, Jazziz and All About Jazz. The album received a coveted 5-star review (masterpiece) in DownBeat. On his previous album\, Beginning of a Memory (Palmetto)\, Wilson brought the musical and the personal together like never before\, uniting the members of all his ensembles into one aptly-named Big Happy Family to celebrate the life of his wife Felicia\, who lost her battle with leukemia in June 2014. This profound\, yet playful\, release also received a 5-star review in DownBeat and was selected as one of the top releases of 2016 by numerous publications\, including DownBeat\, JazzTimes and slate.com. It also cracked the Top Ten of the NPR Critics Poll. Wilson has made thirteen recordings as a leader for Palmetto Records since 1996\, including acclaimed releases by the Matt Wilson Quartet\, Arts & Crafts and the Christmas Tree-O. \nHe’s also co-led another dozen albums\, including duo outings with Lee Konitz and Steve Beresford\, Sifter (a trio with Mary Halvorson and Kirk Knuffke)\, MOB Trio and the acclaimed Trio M with his alliterative partner\, Myra Melford\, and Mark Dresser. And that’s only a drop in the proverbial bucket (and Matt has almost surely played a bucket or two\, proverbial and otherwise\, over the course of his career) in the context of an impressive discography that finds his distinctive style on more than 400 albums. That dizzying list includes releases by such greats as Dewey Redman\, Paul Bley\, Charlie Haden\, Lee Konitz\, Bob Stewart\, Cecil McBee\, Denny Zeitlin\, Ron Miles\, Jeff Lederer\, Marty Ehrlich\, Ted Nash\, Ray Anderson\, Don Friedman\, Jane Ira Bloom and Dena DeRose\, among many others. \nWilson has enjoyed performing for countless audiences across the country and around the world. One of his biggest honors came when he was invited to perform at a White House State Dinner hosted by President Obama in 2011\, where he played alongside a Who’s Who of jazz\, including Herbie Hancock\, Dee Dee Bridgewater\, Dianne Reeves\, Chris Botti\, Randy Brecker\, Antonio Hart and James Genus. Add those names to an ever-growing list of legends with whom Wilson has performed\, including Andrew Hill\, Bobby Hutcherson\, Geri Allen\, Elvis Costello\, Candido Camero\, Freddie Redd\, Butch Warren\, Cedar Walton\, Kenny Barron\, Christian McBride\, John Zorn\, Benny Golson\, Buster Williams\, Marshall Allen\, Nels Cline\, Rufus Reid\, Jason Moran\, Bill Henderson\, Frank Wess\, Anat Cohen\, Steve Nelson\, George Cables\, Mulgrew Miller\, Chris Potter\, Regina Carter\, Benny Green\, John Clayton\, Bobby Watson\, Eddie Gomez\, Wynton Marsalis\, Paquito D’Rivera\, George Mraz\, Michael Brecker\, Pat Metheny\, Joe Lovano\, John Scofield\, Bill Frisell\, Hubert Laws and Hank Jones. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\nMatt Wilson – Drums\nKirk Knuffke – Cornet\nJeff Lederer – Reeds\nMartin Wind – Bass \nDawn Clement – Piano & Vocals\n\n\n\n\n​\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				HIS MUSIC\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				13 Paper 1 and 2 Honey and Salt music by Matt Wilson Poem by Carl Sandburg\n​\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				08 CHOOSE Honey and Salt music by Matt Wilson Poem by Carl Sandburg\n​\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learn More about Matt Wilson Honey & Salt

SUMMARY:Lucía
DESCRIPTION:About Lucía\n\n\n\n\nThree years ago\, 23-year-old singer Lucía was a finalist at the prestigious Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition – and the first Mexican artist to enter the contest. When it came time to select the song that she would perform in the final round\, she picked a standard that reflected her musical sensibility\, colored in equal parts by the beauty of jazz and the Latin American songbook. \n“We played ‘What a Difference a Day Makes\,’ which was popularized by Dinah Washington\, but in its initial incarnation was a bolero written in Spanish by María Grever\,” she says from her home in New York City. “We started it as a jazz ballad in English\, then switched to Spanish and added some zapateado dancing. My mother arrived with a contingent of fellow Mexicans to cheer me on. She told me that being able to sing in Spanish while dancing was what made me different from everyone else.” \nLucía won the competition\, and the fact that she did it with such a soulful\, multicultural rendition of a jazz standard also marked her arrival on the music scene. “What a Difference a Day Makes” is now the opening cut of the self-titled Lucía\, an exquisite debut album that showcases the luminous qualities of her voice\, and her superb technique and versatility. \nFrom her velvety reading of McCoy Tyner and Sammy Cahn’s “You Taught My Heart To Sing” and an achingly vulnerable cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s “Lacy” to a mournful “Alfonsina y el Mar” and a version of “Veracruz” that brims with Lucía’s Mexican pride\, the album finds the emerging singer surrounded by a cadre of jazz virtuosos: Venezuelan pianist Edward Simon\, American double-bassist Larry Grenadier\, Mexican drummer Antonio Sánchez\, and Puerto Rican saxophonist David Sánchez. The session was helmed by visionary producer Matt Pierson\, known for his work with legends such as Brad Mehldau\, Milton Nascimento and Samara Joy. \n\n\n\n\nHer innate talent was nurtured from a very young age. Born in Veracruz\, Lucía Gutiérrez Rebolloso began performing at age two\, together with her parents Laura Rebolloso and Ramón Gutiérrez and their acclaimed Son de Madera\, a son jarocho ensemble. She grew up surrounded by fandangos and the son jarocho community\, and is also the niece of Quetzal Flores\, founder of the Los Angeles-based Chicano rock band Quetzal. Most importantly\, Lucía’s parents played many records at home – from the salsa nuggets of El Gran Combo to the Latin folk of Mercedes Sosa and the healing Soul sides of Aretha Franklin. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Lucía – vocals \nGabriel Chakarji  – piano\nGuillermo Lopez – bass\nJullian Miltenberg – drums\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				HER MUSIC\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Full Performance at Joe’s Pub on January 9th\, 2025\nJoe’s Pub is a program of The Public Theater and named for its founder Joseph Papp\, opened in 1998 and plays a vital role in The Public’s mission of supporting young artists while providing established artists with an intimate space to perform and develop new work.  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learn More about Lucía

SUMMARY:Alfredo Rodríguez Trio
DESCRIPTION:About Alfredo\n\n\n\nGlobally acclaimed artist Alfredo Rodriguez has announced his new album Coral Way will be released on August 18 via Mack Avenue Records. The album embodies the collective sound of Miami: a blend of Latin pop\, timba\, salsa\, bachata\, tango\, reggaeton\, and bolero. Reminiscent of the city’s diverse Latino community\, the album calls upon Rodriguez’s roots just as much as his newly-learned experiences.  \nIn his new home\, Rodriguez took note of the limited cross-pollination and few collaborations that existed between mainstream Latin music and Latin jazz. Coral Way\, which features guest vocalists Cimafunk and Alana Sinkëy\, serves as the connective tissue between these worlds—an artistic statement for the diverse Latin community to be seen\, be heard\, and take pride in their history\, while creating community through individuality. \nRodriguez notes\, “I play what I live\, and Coral Way is my new life. It is the name of the street on which\, for the past 3 years\, I have been composing this album\, and now I’m excited that people from all over the world will finally get to hear it in an expansive way\, with a full live band.” \nBorn and raised in Havana\, Cuba\, Rodriguez’s world was confined by the numerous restrictions imposed by his country. With limited options\, his parents enrolled him in a classical conservatory\, but he was quickly shut down by his first teacher who declared him devoid of talent. Despite pushback\, his love for piano grew so strong that he wasn’t even deterred by not having a piano to practice on at home; instead\, he painted piano keys on his parents’ dinner table so he could run his scales. \nIn 2006\, at age 19\, he received an invitation to represent Cuba at the Montreux Jazz Festival (MJF) in the International Solo Piano Competition. After applying and auditioning as a composer\, alongside twelve of the top pianists in the world\, he was accepted and made his way to Switzerland\, where he ended up being invited to festival founder Claude Nobs’ chalet to play for the guests\, one of whom happened to be legendary producer Quincy Jones. Upon Jones’ return to Los Angeles\, he couldn’t get Alfredo out of his mind. He called his VP\, Adam Fell\, and explained that Alfredo was one of the best pianists he had ever seen and they needed to work with him. Little did they know\, Alfredo had only received permission to travel to Switzerland to play in the competition (as it was difficult for Cubans to obtain a travel visa)\, and also learned it would be illegal to work with him due to the Cuban embargo. \nCubans were not allowed to work in the U.S.\, and could only arrive at U.S. border stations to seek political asylum—meaning that Alfredo would have to relinquish his Cuban citizenship and jeopardize his ability to return home until he obtained a green card. After a year and a half of contemplating\, he mustered up the courage and made the difficult decision to leave his family behind for a country that could offer him the platform he needed to share the broader message of his music with more people. \nIt’s evident the journey was worth it because not only has Alfredo earned frequent appearances on prestigious stages around the world such as the Playboy Jazz Festival\, North Sea Jazz Festival\, Jazz in Marciac\, Umbria Jazz and \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJazz A Vienne\, but additionally\, Rodriguez was nominated for a Grammy® in the category of “Best Arrangement\, Instrumental or A Cappella\,” for the track “Guantanamera\,” from his album\, The Invasion Parade. Additionally\, during his first tour in China\, Rodriguez was asked to work with Tan Dun\, Siedah Garrett\, and Quincy Jones to compose the English version of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo theme song\, becoming the first non-Chinese artist to be bestowed this honor. He’s also been featured over the years by All Things Considered\, Downbeat\, The New York Times\, Los Angeles Times\, and Wall Street Journal among many others\, and performed for NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert. \nRodriguez continues to share his music along with his impactful message of perseverance and cross culturalization on an international tour\, while sharing a variety of viral social media videos in which he plays well-known compositions in a Cuban timba style. \n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Alfredo Rodriguez – Piano\nHan Beyli – Bass\nArmando Lopez – Drums\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				HIS MUSIC\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Alfredo Rodriguez Trio | Live on KUVO!\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Alfredo Rodríguez Trio: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert\n​\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learn More about Alfredo Rodríguez
