Jazz Around Town: In anxious anticipation of June, we Spring into April

Now that the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival has announced another varied lineup for its nine days in June, I have my work cut out for me. Lots to do to prepare (I'm working on a slight redesign and some other enhancements) and, of course, to write as I try to help you find "who you don't know," which is what this festival is all about and what makes it a voyage of discovery every year for me and those I meet during the fest. There are two new venue (Abilene and the Rochester Club), a new series (Italian), and Xerox and the festival have something planned that I'll provide some details on soon. Meanwhile, there is of course live jazz in and around Rochester:

XRIJF announces 2010 festival lineup

At the press conference announcing the 1000 artists and almost 300 separate performances coming to Rochester on June 11-19 for the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival.

UPDATE: Here's the lineup on the XRIJF site. Of course, there will be more here over the next few months as the festival gets closer.

Jazz@Rochester on your phone... just add "M" for mobile

We're all accessing the web in different ways. We've had Jazz@Rochester mobile for awhile, using the fine service of the folks at Mofuse (and it's free for blogs... free is good). I wanted to let you know that I made the address for accessing the mobile site with your iPhone or other mobile phone browser much easier to remember... Just add "m"!  

m.jazzrochester.com

If you're accessing the site and want to switch to the mobile interface (which also provides links to Jazz@Rochester on Facebook and Twitter), just click on the link that looks like an iPhone in the right panel (or the same image in this post). 

Jazz Around Town: Amidst all the karaoke and DJs, there IS live jazz out there

Looking at City, I noticed how many venues are offering karaoke and DJs nights. One of the effects of the economy (and ASCAP, etc. wanting a cut of any covers). Good thing that karaoke and jazz don't mix well (especially if I'm participating, if you know what I mean...). Well, here are the next seven days of live jazz music in and around Rochester, NY.

Exodus to Jazz brings Annie Sellick back on April 2nd to walk along her Street of Dreams

On April 2, 2010, the Exodus to Jazz series will be bringing back vocalist Annie Sellick to Rochester. She previously appeared on the Exodus to Jazz stage in September 2007. An engaging singer from Nashville, Sellick is touring her fifth CD Street of Dreams, which has been moving up the JazzWeek charts.  Street of Dreams has Sellick backed up by Gerald Clayton, who contributed some arrangements, and the rhythm section from the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, with Jeff Hamilton on drums, pianist Tamir Hendelman (who has also appeared as a leader on the ETJ stage), and bassist Christoph Luty. Sellick will be appearing here with Rob Allgeyer on piano, Elisa Pruitt on bass, and Justin Varnes on drums.

Listen to a couple of cuts from Sellick's new CD or watch her with Gerald Clayton and others on YouTube. Here's Sellick's MySpace page as well, which has some more of her music.

The show starts at 8:00 pm (one show with two one-hour sets), at Frontier Hall, Radisson Hotel Rochester Riverside, 120 Main Street East, Rochester, NY. Reserved tickets (tables): $25; General Admission (seats): $20; Students: $10. Get your tickets at all Wegman's That's the Ticket outlets, on Ticketweb.com, by e-mail or by phone at (585)733-7685.

Come out and check out Exodus to Jazz if you haven't before. Jose DaCosta, the man behind ETJ is doing what he can to keep jazz alive in downtown Rochester.

Live Shots: Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis

At the Jazz for the Park Benefit with the band working a piece composed by Bill Frisell based on the art of Winslow Homer. About to head into JALCO member Ted Nash's Portrait in Seven Shades.

Here's Anna Reguero's take on the evening from the D&C

Jazz Around Town: A fleeting whiff of Spring in the air ... along with some jazz

Although I'm coming off a week long bout with a cold, which kept me from getting out last week. Really looking forward to the Portrait in Seven Shades tour of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis which is coming in for the annual Jazz for the Park benefit for Commencement Park at the Auditorium.

Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis swings into Rochester on March 22nd

The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis is bringing their Portrait in Seven Shades U.S. Tour to Rochester on March 22, 2010, at the Auditorium Theater for the Sixth Annual Jazz for the Park series to benefit Wilson Commencement Park.

Portrait in Seven Shades, composed by JALCO reedman Ted Nash is the Orchestra's first original music in nearly four years. The suite consists of seven movements inspired by masters of modern art, including Chagall, Dali, Matisse, Monet, Picasso, Pollack and Van Gogh. Led by Wynton Marsalis, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra will perform selections from the suite as well as a repertoire that will include tunes by Count Basie, Mary Lou Williams and others. Here Nash explains the Van Gogh movement.

Tickets are $35, $45, and $75 and can be purchased through Wilson Commencement Park by calling (585) 263-7938. Tickets can also be be purchased directly at the Auditorium Theatre Box Office located at 885 East Main Street (open Monday - Friday from 10 am to 5:00 pm, Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm and on show days from noon to curtain call). Tickets are also available through all Ticketmaster locations, by phone at 1-800-745-3000 and online at www.ticketmaster.com.

Proceeds from Jazz for the Park enhance the life-changing programs and services at the Wilson Commencement Park in Rochester. The Park has 50 townhouse and 18 apartments where single-parent families transition from poverty to self-sufficiency. Family support services help adults achieve personal and professional goals, while an accredited early learning center helps children achieve success in school and in life.

Join the Jazz for the Park fan page on Facebook to get updates on the concert (and reviews from some of the other stops along the way.

Jazz Around Town: Things start picking up jazz-wise in ROC as the days lengthen and the snow melts (for awhile, at least)

Quite a lot going on in Rochester over the next seven days, spanning continents and styles. Some Afro-Peruvian jazz, perhaps? A little B3? Or some of your regular favorites. Hope you get out there and hear some. No Irish jazz that I could find, though.

Third time a charm? The Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet returns to heat up Exodus to Jazz and Rochester

They've been a charm each time they've come, so it's likely the third one will be.... This Friday, it's again time to welcome the always exciting melting pot of jazz, traditional music from the coast of Peru, and other influences of the Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet. Again brought to you by Exodus to Jazz,the series at which they have appeared at least twice before (I think this will be the group's fourth time in Rochester as I saw them back in 2006 at UofR). Ranging from standards like Summertime with the Peruvian heat added by congero Huevito's cajón, to some straight ahead sounds written by Alegria or members of this band, all the way to Peruvian "folk jazz," this group is always a trip to other places (plus they will likely be telling you about the trip to Peru that they use to help fund their tours and recordings). 

The Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet will begin generate some heat in the still cold winter in Rochester at 8:00 pm for the first of two one-hour sets at the Radisson Riveride Hotel, Riverview Ballroom, in Rochester on Friday, March 12, 2010. Ticket prices are:

• Reserved seats - $25 (table seating for 4 - 5 people)
• General Admission - $20 (theatre style, “first come, first seated”)
• Students - $10 at the door with current ID

Tickets are available at Wegmans "That's the Ticket" locations, TicketWeb.com and via email order to ExodusToJazz@aol.com (Reserved Seat tickets only). For additional information send an email to Exodus To Jazz or call (585) 733-7685.

Live Shots: Mel Henderson & Bob Vosteen Guitar Duo and the drummers

Catching my buddy Mel Henderson with Bob Vosteen at the Roam Cafe on Park Ave., jamming with a group of hand drummers (I enjoyed them when they played across the street on the sidewalk during the Park Avenue Festival this summer). A little wine, a little antipasto, some jazz guitar sounds with a Latin beat....mmmmm that's tasty.
