INTERNATIONAL GIFT LIST: Some suggestions of seasonal gifts by international jazz and blues artists. We’ll start with two contemporary trumpeters [Terence Blanchard and Dennis Gonzalez] followed by two drummer/bandleaders [Andrew Drury and
Alex Cline] both of whose records coincidentally feature Myra Melford.
Ogun have reissued two LPs by alto saxophonist Elton Dean’s Ninesense, so we’ll sample both of these next. From alto to tenor, the tenor saxophones of Jimmy Heath and James Moody, each recorded last year.
Then we take a nostalgic turn, listening to some gospel piano by Cyrus Chestnut, some slide guitar and vocal from Samuel James, some jug band music from
Maria Muldaur and some vocalese by the Manhattan Transfer. We’ll round out the program with two recordings featuring the string bass; Joelle Leandre in a trio setting and a rare Scott LaFaro discovery from 1961.
We will take a moment to plug two upcoming Ottawa concerts, the first by
Josh Rager, Paul Meyers and John Geggie [November 28 at the NAC Fourth Stage] and the second by the Geoff Lapp Trio [November 29 at the First Unitarian Church].
