“There’s a physical electricity to Hargrove’s performance that is not terribly common in jazz.” –David Adler  Roy Hargrove © Ian Gittler After Wynton Marsalis, Roy Hargrove is probably the best known trumpeter on the planet today. And at only 36, his output as a recording artist (13 sessions as leader) is almost as remarkable as his chops. His most recent project, RH Factor, created a lot of buzz by merging R&B and hip-hop mainstream with jazz, but his past and current efforts are decidedly more Dizzy than Ice-T. As noted by Christopher Jones following a Hargrove Quintet performance at Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley in Seattle, this is “straightforward, no-nonsense modern jazz…with integrity and conviction.” Hargrove brings that conviction –along with his quintet—to Catalina’s, 6725 West Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, April 4th - 8th. |

 Azar Lawrence © LeRoy Downs, TheJazzcat.net Clarion Jazz saxophonist and composer Azar Lawrence, who is an alumnus of both McCoy Tyner and drummer Elvin Jones groups, with his quartet will celebrate the legacy of John Coltrane and his music on the 81st anniversary of his birth on Saturday, March 31st at Cotton Club West in Long Beach, California. Mr. Lawrence will be joined by Nate Morgan on piano, Jeff Littleton on bass and Fritz Wise on drums. Azar's performance of such classic Coltrane compositions as "A Love Supreme", "Crescent", "Chim Chim Cheree", "Impressions", "My Favorite Things", "My One and Only Love" and "Wise One" has the critics saying that after a sabbatical Azar is playing with a renewed vengeance and energy similar to what was manifested the unpredictable and searching solos of John Coltrane. |
