Advance Praise For Strykin’ Ahead

If you have chops like Dave’s; his musical sensibilities; his uncanny ability to put together interesting instrumentations; his skill at selecting just the right band mates to make Jazz with; wouldn’t you want to work all the time, too?
It becomes like anything you’re good at; you want to do it as often as possible but occasionally vary the context to keep it from getting stale.
– Steven Cerra Jazz Profiles

A real burner of a set, it feels like an artifact from the past, unreleased from Bluenote/Verve, but it’s modern, contemporary touches are well evident showing how a cat that’s been hitting all the right notes for all these years can’t make a false step now. – CHRIS SPECTOR, Midwest Record Editor and Publisher

I give Dave and his talented crew a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, with an “EQ” (energy quotient) rating of 4.99 for this one… and keep in mind that you heard it here first… this one is BOUND for the awards.
– Dick Metcalf Improvijazzation Nation

A mainstream record of undignified beauty. – Vittorio Lo Conte Musiczoom

DAVE STRYKER guitar STEVE NELSON vibraphone JARED GOLD organ McCLENTY HUNTER drums

The notion of moving forward by triangulating a space between creative and pragmatic imperatives is a consistent thread throughout Dave Stryker’s four decades in the jazz business, not least on Strykin’ Ahead, his 28th CD as a leader. Stryker augments his working trio of Jared Gold on organ and McClenty Hunter on drums with vibraphone player Steve Nelson, all on-board for a second go-round after their stellar contri- butions to last year’s Eight-Track II. Like the leader, Nelson is a preternaturally flexible and in-the-moment improviser with deep roots in the tradition who knows how to push the envelope without damaging the contents. Stryker internalized those imperatives on a 1984-1986 run with Brother Jack McDuff, and he received further invaluable training in the art of musical communication during a decade on the road with Stanley Turrentine, to whom he paid homage on the 2015 release Don’t Mess With Mister T.

In contrast to his Eight Track II conception of putting his spin on pop hits of his formative years, Stryker returns to his long-standing practice of presenting originals and reharmonized standards from the jazz and show music songbooks. “Shadowboxing” is a burning 14-bar minor blues; his well-considered chordal variations on Wayne Shorter’s “Footprints” proceed to a simmering 5/4 figure. Next is “New You” (a stimulating Stryker contrafact of the oft-played “There Will Never Be Another You”). He personalizes Billy Strayhorn’s “Passion Flower,” set to Hunter’s insinuating bossa-funk groove. The title track “Strykin’ Ahead” has a Cadillac-racing-down-the-freeway-feel; he imbues the lovely melody of “Who Can I Turn To” with the full measure of his plush, inviting tone.

That Stryker knows his Albert King is evident on the slow-drag “Blues Down Deep,” which evokes wee-hours third sets in the inner city grills and lounges of Stryker’s apprentice years. He knows his bebop, too. On Clifford Brown’s “Joy Spring,” the solo flights over Stryker’s “modernized” progressions transpire over Hunter’s drum-bass beats and crisp, medium-up four-on-the cymbal; on the chopbusting “Donna Lee,” all members springboard off a churchy vamp and Hunter’s funk-infused swing.

“I’ve always wanted to write vehicles that are fun and interesting to blow over,” Stryker says. “Trying to come up with a beautiful melody that lasts is very fulfilling. Writing is a big part of my voice in this music.” Stryker is too modest to say that his voice is also a big part of jazz, to which he’s devoted a career marked by consistent application of the values that he espouses. But that’s all right—I’ll say it for him.

NYC meets France and the stars unite!

Powerhouse NYC recording artist Valerie Ghent celebrates the release of her surprise new album, The French Sessions, with a June tour in France. An inspired musical adventure, The French Sessions takes the listener from ballads to blues; from smooth soul, jazz and funk to French chanson; from reggae to rock. Uniting the album into a stellar whole is Valerie’s evocative, emotive voice that can hurtle into the stratosphere, whisper in your ear or fall into a low croon at will, the extraordinary talents of co-producer Jérôme Buigues and the undeniable groove of the French musicians.

With a voice that “touches your soul” matched by Valerie’s powerful keyboard chops, her sterling record production, songwriting and engineering skills, and her radiant physicality shaped by years of martial arts training, combined with her vitality and joy, Valerie’s music transforms listeners and fans around the world. Completing The French Sessions are A-list musicians from France & NYC whose collective credits include Luther Vandross, Ashford & Simpson, Serge Gainsbourg, Nina Simone, Cliff Richard, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Gerard Blanc, Chic, Beyonce, Ray Lema, Roberta Flack, Stevie Wonder, Toto, Debbie Harry, Franck Biyong & many more.

Why The French Sessions? “My mother was born in Paris and I’ve been retracing her steps there, reconnecting with long-lost family while writing and recording the songs on this album. The French Sessions was born in France – all twelve songs were recorded in Provence. The entire album was mixed in the French countryside by Jérôme Buigues, in a studio surrounded by Provençal vineyards. Magical really, an incredible journey of discovery, history and love.”

For her first-ever release in France and fifth solo album, Valerie draws on the full range of her talents forged over 20+ years performing & recording alongside music luminaries Ashford & Simpson, Nina Simone, Debbie Harry & Cliff Richard to deliver a breathtaking, spell-binding performance that draws the listener in and never lets go. “Ever since recording Nina Simone in the South of France I dreamed of making an album here” says Valerie. “The French Sessions is a dream come true.”

A genuine talent… Enthralling and engaging… ” Music Zoom (Italy)

Catherine Russell Added to Stellar Lineup for “GRAMMY Salute To Music Legends™” Television Special as Part of “Great Performances” Series on PBS

Catherine Russell Added to Stellar Lineup for “GRAMMY Salute To Music Legends™” Television Special as Part of “Great Performances” Series on PBS

Previously Announced Performers Are Andra Day, Kirk Franklin, Randy Newman, and Dwight Yoakam; Tickets on Sale Now for Annual Awards Ceremony and Tribute Concert

June 29, 2017

The Recording Academy® will honor its 2017 Special Merit Awards recipients with an awards ceremony and live tribute concert on Tuesday, July 11, 2017, at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. This year’s Lifetime Achievement Award honorees are Shirley Caesar, Ahmad Jamal, Charley Pride, Jimmie Rodgers, Nina Simone, Sly Stone, and the Velvet Underground. Led by GRAMMY®-winning industry icon Paul Shaffer as musical director, the tribute concert will feature rare performances by honorees and never-seen renditions by those they’ve inspired. Just confirmed to perform are recent GRAMMY nominee Catherine Russell, five-time GRAMMY winner Dionne Warwick, and past GRAMMY nominee Charlie Wilson.

Catherine Russell’s latest album, “Harlem On My Mind”, released September 9, 2016, was nominated for Best Vocal Jazz Album by the 59th Grammy Awards. Catherine has appeared on over 200 albums, including Grammy Award winning releases by William Bell, Rosanne Cash, and Levon Helm. In 2012, Catherine appeared as a featured artist on the Grammy Award winning soundtrack album for the HBO series Boardwalk Empire, contributing her rendition of “Crazy Blues.” For her appearance on July 11, Catherine will pay tribute to Trustees Award Honoree Ralph S. Peer, a successful recording executive, archetypal A&R man, and music publisher whose career spanned from 1919 to 1960. Peer was the executive producer of Mamie Smith’s “Crazy Blues,” the first vocal blues recording, released in 1920.

Now in its second year, the “GRAMMY Salute To Music Legends™” event will be produced in partnership with THIRTEEN as part of the “Great Performances” series on PBS, set to air later this year.

At the start of 2017, Catherine joined former David Bowie band mates and surprise guests for concerts Celebrating David Bowie, on January 8 in London and January 10 in New York City. As a member of David Bowie’s last touring band, from 2002 through 2004, Catherine contributed on keyboards, guitar, percussion, mandolin, and vocals. Following those shows, Catherine returned to leading her band, with sold out concerts in New York City, Paris, Munich, and Bern. The Minneapolis Star Tribune says, “There are no lines between blues, soul and jazz when Catherine Russell sings, as she evokes the era when all those genres were swirled together in popular song…touring behind her slyly personal sixth album, “Harlem On My Mind”.

New Release: Simon Sammut Crossing

June 15, 2017

To: Listings/Critics/Features
From: Jazz Promo Services
www.jazzpromoservices.com

New Release: Simon Sammut Crossing

A journey through music and visual art – this is what Crossing, the new album by Simon Sammut offers the listener. Actually, rather than just an album, Crossing is more of a project, one that seeks to blend space, form, beauty and colour into one multi-dimensional artistic creation that explores the different types of ‘crossings’ that exist around us – physical, psychological and beyond.

Following the first album ‘Bassic Attitude’ which was launched in 2011, Simon Sammut is back with another album which comes from an altogether different place than Bassic Attitude, as reflected in its fluid texture and inspiration.

The musical score and complimentary paintings are based on a common theme of ‘crossing’. Essentially it is about crossing barriers or boundaries whether they are physical or geographical, intellectual or psychological with reference to particular moments in history, a story or cognitive state . The project touches upon a number of topical subjects, such as migration, mental health, technology, environment and diversity.

Crossing is available as CD from www.simonsammut.com and CD Baby and as digital download form CD Baby and iTunes.

PAUL WINTER’S 22nd ANNUAL SUMMER SOLSTICE SUNRISE CONCERT SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 17 CATHEDRAL OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE, NYC

Having trouble reading this email? View it on your browser. Find us on Facebook.

Dear Friends,

The “news of the day,” on all fronts, gives me pause, as I contemplate the music for our upcoming Summer Solstice Celebration, this Saturday morning. At a time when an ill wind is blowing across our country, I ponder what this solstice milestone can mean. I wonder how each of us might negotiate this gauntlet of anger which may lie ahead, without getting subsumed by it ourselves.

The message of the solstices – both summer and winter – is that the light will prevail over the darkness. But from ancient times, people have known they must renew themselves, and gird their spirit, with a physical experience of this passage. The Ancients gathered at Stonehenge; we have the privilege of gathering in the great Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

My idea for the sequence of our Summer Solstice event takes inspiration from a little ritual I do each morning near my home. There’s a brooklet, through the woods, that I come to on my walk. I stand on the bank there, and close my eyes, and just listen. The sounds of the water carry me instantly into a new realm; this realm of the ear. My cortical meanderings simply vanish, and my whole being seems to relax. Soon I can feel my breathing deepen, and before long I find I’m smiling … for no reason at all. It’s as if a sun has risen in my heart.

This is the deep listening journey we want to offer people in our early morning solstice adventure. A great writer, James Carroll, has put into words what we aspire to evoke with our music, quoted below.

– Sweet Summer Solstice Balances Life’s Bitterness –

James Carroll
Copyright 2006 Globe Newspaper Company (excerpted)

“This is the week toward which the year has been straining. The fullness of light transforms awareness. Each day prolongs itself. Time is reinvented, as the present tense comes into its culmination. Approaching next week’s summer solstice, Earth seems to slow in its turning. The sun loiters. Evening slides luxuriously into night, which reliably cuts itself short with dawn. All of nature tugs at human consciousness to say: Notice this.

“And when has astronomy ever done more for the lifting of the spirit? The suspended moments of time’s zenith are sacraments of life’s goodness. Haste, duty, and the hassles of work have no admittance here. In the coming week, you will remember with love all those with whom you have found your ease in such suspension — companions of summer. And in recalling such release, you will look for more. Ironically, this is how you deepen your feeling of responsibility for the world. It is the one thing you have learned: to be at peace is the way to prepare to work for peace.

“There is no coping with the heartbreak of the human condition without a nurtured sense of the heart when it is full. It is the business of the summer solstice, through the weave of memory and desire, to nurture that plenitude. That is why, on each day of its approach, you will note the rampant timelessness of evening. In the morning, you will let your eyes drift from the wartime news to the red-breasted bird on the window ledge, to join in its watching.”
