		His performances and recordings became more haphazard, but in January 1951 he began a long series of recordings for the Prestige label that became his main recording outlet for the next several years.
		Davis surprised jazz fans when, on July 8, 1991, he joined an orchestra led by Quincy Jones at the Montreux Jazz Festival to perform some of the arrangements written for him in the late '50s by Gil Evans; he had never previously looked back at an aspect of his career.
		At a time when jazz is inclining toward academia and repertory orchestras rather than moving forward, he is a reminder of the music's essential quality of boundless invention, using all available means.

		They has spent almost 25 years together breaking new ground, tracing jazz's roots in early tent shows, churches, bawdy houses, theater and dance bands, through its development as a sophisticated, virtuosic, serious and popular concert music with the ability to create the sound of the world as it is right now and might yet become.

	Jazz News: Maria Schneider - 4 Grammy nods and NOT ONE RETAIL SALE!
		It's no secret that Schneider is the foremost big-band composer of her generation, but this powerful large-scale work, in which she blends jazz and flamenco with the skill of an alchemist, is so good that I hesitate to limit its significance by calling it big-band music, or even jazz.
		Jazz may be her core, but Schneider has cut through the boundaries of the form to embrace a larger musical world, one that is accessible, no matter what you call it.

	MAMA Gerald Wilson Bio
		Because jazz is a creative art form and if you start using the same rhythmic patterns and harmonies over again, you're not creating.
		He calls State Street Sweet, his 1995 MAMA CD nominated for a Grammy as Best Large Ensemble Jazz Performance, "one of the best I've ever made." His 1996 MAMA album, Suite Memories-Reflections on a Jazz Journey, is a chronicle of Wilson's life in jazz.
		Instead, with genuine humility, he says, "I've given to jazz the best that I have." And, coming from Gerald Wilson, that will always be some of the best there is in modern jazz.

		Premiered in 1777, this is Cimarosa's ninth opera, setting a libretto au courant with the tastes of the times (an extremely complicated situation involving the intertwining lives and destinies of three couples - one lowborn and comical, one middle-class and one aristocratic and the object of satirical digs).
		Performed, necessarily, with a reduced choir (but with the solo voice parts intact), Wagner's reduction emphasizes just how ground-breaking this music was when it first appears.
		The performer plays the D major work, as well as both sets of variations on Scottish folk tunes (which date from Reinagle's residence in Glasgow in the early 1780s) on both fortepiano and a modern grand while the other two are performed only on the modern grand.

		After all, it was in the Basie bands of the '30s, in front of the dance floor at Kansas City's Reno Club, that the jazz rhythm section blossomed and what came to be forever known as "Basie swing" developed.
		But the orchestra is most busy here in the U.S. with performances in towns running the gamut from Baltimore, New York, Detroit, Chicago and Atlanta to Fort Wayne, Lubbock, Savannah, Worster and Morgantown.
		Of the three directors who have been at the helm since Basie's passing (Thad Jones and Frank Foster were the others), Mitchell seems best able to project the Basie spirit, to both his band members and audiences.

		The term "promising young talent" is bandied about a bit too liberally in the jazz world these days -- perhaps that's indicative of the industry's desperate search for someone to inherit the mantle of Miles, Monk, Mingus, and company.
		On Goat Hill Junket, Wilson's arrangements of his original tunes and classic songs like "Stairway to the Stars" and "Here's That Rainy Day" struck an uncanny balance between sophisticated modern voicings and a classic, swinging sound that was deeply rooted in blues sensibilities.
