Jazz St. Louis 2013-14 Season by Jazz St. Louis

jazz st.louis

Welcome to the 2013-14 Jazz St. Louis Jazz St. Louis’s performance, education, and outreach programs continue to grow thanks to the support of a community that embraces its important role in the history and development of jazz music. Because of our city’s passion for this art form, we have grown and evolved from our humble beginnings to become one of the premier jazz presenters in the world. St. Louisans commonly tell us they don’t need to go to New York City, San Francisco, or New Orleans to hear great jazz, because they can get it here. The national and international artists that perform on our stage are impressed by our exceptional programming, collaborative efforts, and renowned education programs – all of which are highlighted in this brochure.

John & Bucky Pizzarelli December 18 – 21, 2013 John Pizzarelli has been playing guitar since age six, following in the footsteps of his father, guitar legend Bucky Pizzarelli. Bucky, a fixture in jazz and the studios since the early 1950s, exposed John to all the great jazz music of the era, from Count Basie and Les Paul to Django Reinhardt and, of course, Nat “King” Cole. Using greats like Ellington, Cole, and Sinatra and the songs of writers such as Rodgers, Gershwin, and Jobim as touchstones, John Pizzarelli is among the prime contemporary interpreters of the Great American Songbook, bringing to the works his signature style and brilliant guitar playing.

Christian McBride Trio Christian McBride is the premier bassist on today’s jazz and pop scene. He is simply without peer on his instrument and the first choice as collaborator for everyone from Sting and Billy Joel to Sonny Rollins and Pat Metheny. With pianist Christian Sands and drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr., McBride has created an energized unit that is “powered from the ground up.” As The New York Times noted, this is a trio which “has its own chemistry, brisk and youthful” and “[Sands and Owens] are shining examples of what’s going right with jazz education, and their bond with Mr. McBride feels respectful but unhindered by deference.”

Virtuosic and playful, pianist Cyrus Chestnut’s hard swinging, soulful sounds have become a staple in the jazz community. Blending contemporary jazz, traditional jazz, and gospel, Chestnut gives himself plenty of freedom to explore different emotions, while keeping his music in recognizable form. His lush chords, playful grace notes, worshipful tremolos, and

Russell Malone’s lyrical work has projected him into the mainstream of jazz guitar. Having dazzling technique erupt at will, as well as melodic, mellow ballad material, Malone shows extraordinary skill across the six strings. His skillful interpretations stir the imagination while igniting the soul.

Poncho Sanchez and His Latin

Jazz Band

April 16 – 19, 2014 If music were about pictures, percussionist Poncho Sanchez’s music would best be described as a kaleidoscopic swirl of some of the hottest colors and brightest lights to emerge from either side of the border. At any given show, fragments of Latin jazz, swing, bebop, salsa, and other infectious grooves collide and churn in a fiery swirl, with results that are no less than dazzling. Sanchez grew up in a suburb of LA, where he was raised on an unusual cross section of sounds that included straight-ahead jazz, Latin jazz, and American soul. Whatever the genre, the mesmerizing array of sounds and colors from Sanchez’s youth have telegraphed across the decades and continue to inform his creative sensibilities to this day. His over 20-year relationship with Concord Records has yielded two dozen recordings, a Grammy Award, and several Grammy nominations.

They then dropped “Jazz” from their name and went on to garner multiple gold and platinum albums until the band dissolved in the mid ’80s. In 2010, Sample reformed The Jazz Crusaders and, in addition to

His appearance with the band at the Touhill as part of Jazz St. Louis’s 2011-12 season prompted the St. Louis Post-Dispatch to call the event “… the finest Jazz St. Louis presentation of the year.” Sample then returned with his trio on the 2012-13 Jazz at the Bistro season for four nights of sold out shows, entertaining the audience with wonderful stories about his life and the history of jazz, along with his masterful playing.

The Bad Plus

Free Concert | October 3, 2013 Skip Viragh Center for the Arts on the campus of Chaminade College Preparatory School Take a guided tour through the evolution of Igor Stravinsky’s music with chamber pieces performed by musicians of the St. Louis Symphony followed by a performance of On Sacred Ground, The Bad Plus’s ferocious re-scoring of Stravinsky’s iconic work, The Rite of Spring. Co-commissioned by Duke Performances and Lincoln Center, On Sacred Ground was met with immediate and widespread critical acclaim. Not interested in using “The Rite” simply as a vehicle for improvisation, the trio engaged in a rigorous study of the original composition before beginning to craft their own interpretation. The brilliant, multi-media transformation proves there are still vital lessons to be learned from the piece that caused a riot at its Paris premiere nearly 100 years ago.

Jazz St. Louis and STL Symphony Community Partnerships are proud to offer this unique collaborative performance of Stravinsky’s compositions for FREE to the St. Louis community in supporting the Symphony’s mission to enrich people’s lives through the power of music and Jazz St. Louis’s mission to advance the uniquely American art of jazz through live performance, education, and outreach. This community concert follows four days of educational activities with The Bad Plus as a part of Jazz St. Louis’s Artist Residency program (see page 38 for more information).

jazz at the bistro 3536 Washington Avenue St. Louis, MO 63103

jazz st. louis offices 3547 Olive Street Suite 260 St. Louis, MO 63103

experience jazz at the bistro “The bookings are impeccable at this classy club.” There are no age restrictions, so everyone is welcome. Sit by the balcony rail upstairs and feel regal, as if you have your own box seat. Or sit downstairs, a few rows from the stage, and feel like part of the music. It really draws you in. Wynton Marsalis, “10 Great Places to Get Jazzed About Jazz” USAToday

What’s a Listening Room? Listening Room [lis-uh-ning room]. Noun. 1. a place where jazz novices and aficionados join together to hear great American music 2. an acoustically perfect atmosphere where talking out loud is discouraged but grooving is very much encouraged 3. an intimate environment where musicians are so close you can see them sweat, grin, grimace, and produce sounds so sweet you’ll cry

What do I wear? Anything you like, provided your ensemble includes shirt, shoes, and pants.

What’s ‘family style’ seating? One of the great things about the Bistro experience is meeting new, interesting people who share a love for this American music. The Bistro seats tables of four, so couples will be seated with other couples they may or may not know. But by the end of the evening, it’s likely that new friends have been made by all.

Can I bring my own wine? Yep. A corkage fee applies.

Can I order dinner and eat it during the performance? Yep again. Cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, and dessert are served for both sets. Your show tickets serve as your dinner reservations. Voila!

Do Jazz at the Bistro artists sign autographs? Depends on the artist. But one thing is certain: Jazz at the Bistro patrons have unprecedented access and interaction with artists before, after, and/or between sets.

Can we stay for the late set if we only bought tickets to the early set? Again, it depends. Sometimes late shows are sold out. Sometimes not. Paying customers for the late set have priority seating, but we’ll be sure to let you know that night if you can stay. 51
