	Jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the root of jazz is the blues, the folk music of former enslaved Africans in the U.S. South and their descendants, heavily influenced by West African cultural and musical traditions, that evolved as fl musicians migrated to the cities.
		Early jazz influences found their first mainstream expression in the marching band and dance band music of the day, which was the standard form of popular concert music at the turn of century.
		Jazz is often difficult to define, but improvisation is unquestionably a key element of the form.

		Grammy nominated Brazilian vocalist Luciana Souza combines the sounds of her homeland with the jazz vocal tradition by incorporating wordless voice, percussive effects, and infectious grooves into jazz standards, songs, and original compositions.
		To legendary saxophonist/pianist/vocalist Archie Shepp and trombonist Roswell Rudd, both free jazz pioneers who got their starts in the circle of avant-gardists around Cecil Taylor, John Coltrane and their associates, the term “Free Jazz” refers to music that speaks for a generation of artists dedicated to the ideals of musical and social equality.
		As a result, their musical collaboration, documented on the Verve Records release, Live in NY, is not free association but an equal and sublime mixture of improvisation and composition, the kind of controlled freedom that comes from that comes from deep conviction and equally deep musical rapport.

		Later, a jazz sensibility takes over in "RAM," with its brassy punctuations and swing, while masses of caterwauling horns let loose over a mechanistically pounding, skewed rhythm in "Weiji" and the thus-far definitive version of Hollenbeck's opus "a-b-s-t-i-n-e-n-c-e" builds to climax suggesting quite the opposite of the title itself.
		Jazz and contemporary composition, playfulness and prayer, intensity and sweetness: in the musical world of composer/percussionist John Hollenbeck and on the brand new CD by his Large Ensemble, A Blessing, all these elements mingle.
		Reductionist thinking aside, the very assimilation of a multitude of cultural and stylistic concerns is what keeps jazz alive and well, living and breathing and, most importantly, constantly evolving.

		Take the low road to Jazz Standard, a dimly lit basement club hopping with pony-tailed jazz aficionados, smiling businessmen and a smattering of young and lovely fl-clad waitstaffers.
		Like the barbecue--at once gourmet cuisine and down-home cooking--the straight-ahead jazz is carefully selected to appeal to the serious jazz fan, yet it's accessible enough for novice listeners.
		More akin to highbrow digs like the Blue Note than the boho grit of clubs like Smalls, the Standard is a civilized alternative to sardine-can syndrome of some of its well-known peers.

	Pablo Ziegler Quintet At Jazz Standard
		At Jazz Standard, on Friday, December 13, I was not surprised that the Ziegler Quintet was in rare form, especially with the addition of Guest Artist, Jazz Great, Paquito D'Rivera, who intermittently accompanied and sometimes took the theme, on either soprano or alto saxophone or on clarinet.
		Last year, the sound was very different, with a more contemporary Jazz feeling, and at the Jazz Standard, there was a feeling, for me, that I could actually dance Tango to each and every piece, including Ziegler's exciting and dynamic compositions (to which I dance regularly with my Tango Coach, Carlos De Chey, 212.726.1304).
