Life, Law and All That Jazz: Using the Art of Improvisation in the Courtroom

Life, Law and All That Jazz: Using the Art of Improvisation in the Courtroom

Source: Michael Ricci

Miles Davis' Kind of Blue is one of my desert island, all-time favorite records. I have the album cover for Sketches of Spain framed on my bedroom wall. I played baritone saxophone in my high school jazz band, and if I could learn any skill with the simple press of a button — Matrix-style — I would become the next Thelonius Monk.

For me, though, jazz is more than just a style of music. Jazz improvisation has always struck me ...

Another year, another Dakota Combo. Every September (since 2006), the MacPhail Cener for Music and Dakota Foundation for Jazz Education have joined forces to bring an intensive year of jazz studies to a highly selected, small ensemble of the area's top high school jazz artists. And every summer, there's that final performance of the Combo, the summation of their months of rehearsal, clinics, and performance -with directors Kelly Rossum (2006-2009) and Adam Linz, with guest artists like Bobby Watson, Delfeayo ...

Europe, Taxes and All That Jazz

Europe, Taxes and All That Jazz

Source: Brilliant Corners, a Boston Jazz Blog

Reading about the impending demise of the JazzBaltica festival, and noting the European allusion in Matt's recent posting, it struck me how unexamined is this business of European jazz subsidy-and how seemingly anomalous. What's actually behind their willingness to lay out tax spondulics? The meager explanation we've been fed all along is that Europeans are simply “more cultured" than we Americans, care more about the arts, etc. Come on, people, does this 19th century explanation ring true to you? Not ...

Jamie Cullum and All That Jazz

SINGAPORE: UK singer Jamie Cullum has released five critically acclaimed albums so far and was even nominated for Best Original Song for his work on Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood's 2009 film “Grand Torino". That would be the boring way to describe Cullum (though it is all true). But who is the man behind the music? Cullum is best described by the word 'spontaneous'. The 31-year-old just goes with the flow when it comes to picking which song he would cover ...

Any jazz fan who has been paying attention at all during the past half century will recognize the quirky 5/4 riff that means the Dave Brubeck Quartet is swinging into its classic “Take Five." But there's another tune the pianist keeps playing that is completely different. “Forty Days" opens with the haunting, chant-like lines that define the most famous piece in his first sacred oratorio, “The Light in the Wilderness." “Forty days alone in the desert, days and nights of ...

Jazz Fest Berlin Brings the Funk BERLIN JAZZ: Like most cities, yet unlike any other city, Berlin bubbles along, continuing on its ambitious and evolutionary path. It oscillates between the old east and west and historic and contemporary aspects. Then, suddenly the city is in prime time and in the world news cycle's sights again with last week's celebration of the 20th anniversary of the “fall of the Wall." On the night before the official November 9 anniversary, I was ...

Jamie Cullum is telling me that he never dreamt of success on this scale. He is outlining the upcoming tours of the UK, France, the US, Japan, Australia and, oh, pretty much most of the known world, that will accompany the anticipated multimillion sales of his new album. “I honestly, honestly never thought it would pan out like this," says the 30-year-old singer who, looking tanned and fit, radiates a mix of easy charm and brittle energy. “When I started ...
