"I found that within my playing that I could play notes, not at first, because at first I couldn't hear these notes, so I wouldn't play them. But as I play more and more I hear more notes to play against the more common chord progressions. And a lot of people say they're wrong. Well, I can't say they're right, and I can't say they're wrong. To my hearing, they're exactly correct". - Eric Dolphy |

In what was already shaping up to be a
stellar career, Regina Carter hit a new high in 2001 when she became
the first jazz musician invited to Genoa to play the legendary
Paganini violin, known as the Cannon. After this first encounter –in
which she was to play only classical repertoire and not (heavens no!)
“real” jazz, she returned to Italy in late 2002 with her quintet
to record Paganini: After the Dream, a set of classically
rooted music with not-so-subtle jazz elements. Once more in November
she played the Cannon, this time at Alice Tully Hall in New York. “By
the third time it was more comfortable,” she noted, despite the
police escort and security that probably rivaled that assigned to Air
Force One. For obvious reasons, the Cannon is not part of Regina
Carter’s American tours. Yet with her quintet, she will
nevertheless bring everything from Debussy to Bossa Nova to Billie
Holiday when she takes the stage at the Jazz Bakery in LA, November
22-23/25-27. |

"Don't be stuck in the past but
retain the greatness of it. And live in the moment, live in the
future." -- Wallace Roney
Wallace Roney with Antoine Roney, Eric Allen, Ugonna Okegwo, Robert
Glasper, and DJ Val will perform on October 18th through the 23rd
at th eJazz Bakery in Los Angeles
(www.jazzbakery.org/).
Wallace Roney's new High Note CD, Mystikal, is due to release in
October. With Mystikal, Roney continues to explore the deep, expansive
chemistry he established with his crew on Prototype. Val Jeanty
on turntables provides spoken word interludes and other little "ear cookies"
along the way.
Wallace Roney, while one of the most accomplished and acclaimed
trumpeters in jazz today, remains one of the music's most misunderstood
masters. Roney rose to national prominence in the 1980's as a member of
Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, earning favorable notice as a young lion
with a roaring sound and impressive technique in the Clifford Brown-Lee
Morgan-Freddie Hubbard tradition. By the middle of the decade
Roney was holding down a difficult dual membership with both the
Messengers and Tony Williams' Quintet. Soon he began to display a more
thoughtful and spacious approach to sound and improvisation -- one that
nodded in the direction of Williams' former leader, Miles Davis, who by
that time had befriended the young trumpeter, having given him the blue
horn that is his trademark.
