Listen on YouTube◆ ◆ ◆Joseph Patel, producer of ‘Summer of Soul’Max Roach, “Drums Unlimited”I discovered and fell in love with jazz while in college. From this study, I could put my finger on the records, musicians and lineups at the forefront of change in the genre — and at every step of the way, there was Max Roach. On “Freedom Day,” Max’s drum playing represents a heart dealing with the emotions of becoming a free human being. Listen on YouTube◆ ◆ ◆Brandi Waller-Pace, musician, educator and scholar-activistClifford Brown and Max Roach, “Joy Spring”Few drummers have reached the level of innovation and influence Max Roach did throughout his long and prolific career. “Joy Spring,” recorded with the legendary and tragically short-lived Clifford Brown and Max Roach Quintet, is a jazz classic and a personal favorite.

☆ ‘Next at the Kennedy Center: A Joni Mitchell Songbook’ Review: Tribute to Her Jazz-Folk Fusion
  + stars: | 2022-11-18 | by ( John Anderson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Like a bouquet of gilded lilies, “A Joni Mitchell Songbook” offers a tribute to Ms. Mitchell as well as a bit of misdirection. The subject, now 79 years old, does not appear, which is hardly a shock, but neither is the show a songbook in the customary sense. He is on hand to conduct the National Symphony Orchestra and several guests putting their own vocal spin on the songs. It makes for one lush hour of Mitchell. Ms. Mitchell, once upon a time the ethereal blond poster-girl of folkies, was never easy to mimic, thanks largely to her open guitar tunings and singular soprano; and once she became a Charles Mingus acolyte she morphed into a sui generis jazzman.
☆ ‘Let My Children Hear Mingus’ Review: A Rare Opportunity for Jazz Fans
  + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( John Anderson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
One of the great things about “Let My Children Hear Mingus” is that it’s on television at all, never mind that it opens with about 10 solid minutes of blistering jazz and limits the usual documentary gas-baggery to people who know what they are talking about. What has often been called American classical music is the focus of what is mostly a performance special, a celebration of the centenary of Charles Mingus —bassist, composer, band leader; seminal figure in bebop, hard-bop, post-bop, free jazz and Third Stream music; someone who was politically aware and complicated. That he was an irascible character comes through. So does the compositional glory of several of his pieces.
