The whole record industry, of course, is ailing, but jazz has a special place in the infirmary. In 2011, jazz recordings made up a hair over 3 percent of albums sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan — and that’s counting watered-down forms like “smooth jazz.” The year before, the numbers were significantly worse. In fact, jazz record sales are so low that a pro forma Christmas record by Michael Buble — who sings over a wash of elevator music and is only a jazz artist by generous definition — made up almost a quarter of the total jazz sales in 2011, creating the illusion that the music had experienced a huge growth spurt. (The 11.1 million jazz albums that sold last year mean that, all things being equal, for every person who bought just one jazz record, 27 did not. Similarly, for everyone who bought two jazz records, 54 people purchased nothing.)

He's dreamed of this collection of high energy tunes for years and now he's sharing them with you on "Para Suerte Mía.

BOOK: Miles Davis: The Complete Illustrated History
Here is the illustrated history of Miles Davis, the world’s most popular jazz trumpeter, composer, bandleader, and musical visionary. Davis is one of the most innovative, influential, and respected figures in the history of music. He’s been at the forefront of bebop, cool jazz, hard bop, modal jazz, and jazz-rock fusion, and remains the favorite and best-selling jazz artist ever, beloved worldwide.
He’s also a fascinating character—moody, dangerous, brilliant. His story is phenomenal, including tempestous relationships with movie stars, heroin addictions, police busts, and more; connections with other jazz greats like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, Gil Evans, John McLaughlin, and many others; and later fusion ventures that outraged the worlds of jazz and rock.

Matt Herskowitz-Upstairs (Justin Time Records 2013)
Justin Time Records
As a follow up to 2010’s acclaimed Jerusalem Trilogy on Justin Times Records, pianist-composer Matt Herskowitz showcases the art of solo piano on Upstairs, recorded before a live audience in the intimate setting of Montreal’s Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill. Drawing on his classical training and his deep love of jazz, Herskowitz presents an artful blend of musical styles with direct nods to Michel Petrucciani, Dave Brubeck, George Gershwin, J.S. Bach and Robert Schumann along the way. “I wanted the choice of pieces to reflect a broad range of what I do, including my own compositions, arrangements of classical pieces, and my favourite jazz covers,” writes Herskowitz in the liner notes to Upstairs

Buone Feste con il nuovo album di Roberto Olzer in formato flac 24 bit /88.2khz
ROBERTO OLZER TRIO STEPPIN' OUT
Per Acquistare in formato cd rispondi a questa mail ( Euro 15.00 + spese di spedizione )
Prima di fornire qualche piccola informazione sul nuovo lavoro di Roberto permettetemi di scrivere due righe di auguri di Buone Feste a tutti voi. Per chi ci segue sa che gli ultimi anni non sono stati proprio una passeggiata ma se è possibile, sotto molti aspetti, questo è stato il peggiore di tutti. Da un punto di vista personale la perdita di mio cugino Franco Ratti ( fondatore di Ird spa e dell'Appaloosa Records ) è stato un qualcosa di devastante sul piano umano ancor prima che lavorativo. La crisi di mercato che se possibile è stata ancor piu' acuta degli anni scorsi penso che non devo star qui a spiegarla a nessuno. Eppure anche in questo anno siamo riusciti non solo a sopravvivere ( nonostante database creati ad arte a Wall Street che hanno depredato il nostro paese eludendo ogni possibile imposta in terra lussemburghese con la complicita' di molte italiche realta' ) ma a trovare nuovi motivi di speran za. Il Digital Store sta trovando sempre piu' consenso sia tra voi ( chi ascolta un brano in alta definzione non torna piu' indietro ) sia tra gli addetti ai lavori e le nuove etichette che si sono aggiunte alla nostra avventura ne sono la conferma. Gli artisti poi ne sono entusiasti. Infatti finalmente c'è la possibilita' di ascoltare la musica con la medesima dinamica e qualita' da loro voluta, apprezzando fino in fondo anche le piu' piccole sfumature.
Altro motivo di sorriso siete stati voi. Vi sarete accorti che in questo ultimo mese e mezzo non mi sono fatto sentire molto... il fatto è che si era in giro per l'Italia per concerti e questo ci ha dato la possibilita' di incontrare tantissimi di voi. Siamo stati da Palermo fino a Cormons, da Torino fino a Bari... un mese intensissimo ma che mi ha donato il vostro sorriso e di questi tempi, credetemi, non è poco.
Il 2013 sara' pieno di novita' che riassumo in due righe ( ci sara' tempo in futuro per approfondire ). Innanzitutto dal 1 gennaio tornera' on line lo store tradizionale www.moonlightrecords.com con migliaia di titoli immediatamente disponibili e una nuova veste grafica. Vi siete gia' accorti inoltre dell'intenso utilizzo del social network musicale www.soundcloud.com che ci permette, in maniera del tutto legale, di promuovere artisti che per scelta o semplicemente sfortuna stanno ai margini dei grandi circuiti commerciali. Il digital store www.iflac.it ormai è una realta' consolidata. Mentre la grande novita' del 2013 è l'acquisizione dell'etichetta Appaloosa Records con oltre 40 anni di storia che speriamo di poter riscoprire e continuare insieme. Insomma, come detto , un 2012 dalle molteplici s fumature... dolore e difficolta' contingenti da una parte, voglia di ripartenza, progetti e nuove opportunita' dall'altra'..... insomma la Vita.
Noi abbiamo deciso di viverla accettando tutte le sfide che questo tempo di grandi mutamenti ci pone davanti... e sono sicuro che anche voi farete altrettanto.... ed è con questa speranza che auguro a tutti un sereno Natale e buone Feste !!!!
La newsletter tornera' con la "vecchia" intensita' dal 2 di Gennaio 2013 !!!!
Ed ora, spero che mi perdonera', ecco la presentazione del nuovo e bellissimo album di Roberto:
Roberto Olzer, pianoforte
Yuri Goloubev, contrabbasso
Mauro Beggio, batteria
Roberto Olzer è senza dubbio uno dei pianisti italiani dell’ultima generazione che negli ultimi anni si è segnalato per originalità sia nel tratto pianistico che compositivo. Dotato di un linguaggio moderno e personale che si esprime tendenzialmente in maniera dolce e suadente. Nuance classicheggianti, padronanza del linguaggio swing ma al contempo grande tensione verso orizzonti nuovi. Da anni sideman tra i più richiesti del panorama nazionale. In questo disco è supportato magistralmente da una delle ritmiche più affermate: il contrabbassista russo Yuri Goloubev e il batterista Mauro Beggio.

This will be the first premier jazz concert of the year featuring two legendary contemporary jazz artist and hosted by one of Detroit's own. You do not want to miss this one.
Valentine’s Day is about love and romance. Trumpeter Rick Braun and sax man Richard Elliot promise to make this Valentine’s Day even hotter. Circle February 14th on your calendar because that is the date the hit men will deliver a cool-jazz treat in what will be the first premiere smooth jazz event of the year.
With 24 solo albums between them and a massive catalog of chart-topping radio hits, the thrilling collaboration between Braun and Elliot has been one of the top shows to ever tour the country. They have toured together for years and have made guest appearances on each other’s records. “We’ve had so much fun playing together live that it was time for us to get together musically,” declared Elliot. “We have different approaches yet they are complementary.
Teaming up with Family Circle Productions, a local production company, the event will be hosted by Detroit’s own jazz saxophonist Deon Yates with special guest, Lansing, MI saxophonist Phil Denny.
On Thursday, February 14, 2013 Yates will be hosting “Valentine’s with R n R,” at 8 p.m., at The Scottish Rite Cathedral inside the Masonic Temple 500 Temple Avenue Detroit, MI 48201. Tickets on sale now at the Masonic Temple box office, all Ticketmaster outlets.
Yates began his career performing for Detroit mayor Coleman A. Young while still a student at Remus Robinson Middle School on Detroit’s eastside. Yates collaborated with chart topping smooth jazz guitarist Nick Colionne, vocalist Maysa Leak (Incognito), and Detroit “Soul Trumpeter” Lin Rountree to complete his debut national album, “Spotlight.” This latest project solidifies his place in the jazz world following in the footsteps of his mentor and Sax Dakota endorsement mate Richard Elliot.
“The purpose of the concert is to show that good things can be found in and still come out of the city,” said Yates. “Not only do we want to bring names to the city, we want to introduce the city to some of the, sometimes unrecognized, talented artist from the region.”
Family Circle Productions Inc. is an independent media services and production company located in Detroit, created to provide affordable media services to small businesses and nonprofit organizations to help them compete in today’s media market without breaking the bank.

Hal Galper Trio – Airegin Revisited (Origin Records 2012)
“...the high level of integration and communication the trio displays is rare and quite thrilling to experience...”
- DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE
Following up on what's been called the veteran pianist's finest recording to date, 2011's "Trip the Light Fantastic," Galper and his trio offer another exhilarating set of music, further defining the very personal "rubato" style of collective performance they've developed over the last six years. From an intimate "Embraceable You," to the closing, high-flying take of Sonny Rollins' "Airegin," Galper, bassist Jeff Johnson, and drummer John Bishop, display a singular group aesthetic, fully grounded in the language of bop while always in pursuit of new possibilities.
"Bishop's drums sizzle and detonate unpredictably; Johnson's bass rumbles; and the piano notes careen with a scintillating, headlong freedom..." - All About Jazz

Mimis Plessas & Christos Rafalides - We Two (Emarel Music 2012)
It was a great honor and pleasure to have Mimis Plessas, Evi Siamanda, and Christos Rafalides here at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola and Jazz at Lincoln Center.
The two full houses of enraptured listeners gave both their performances standing ovations.
Mimis Plessas is one of the most lyrically compelling composers of our age, and Evi Siamanda has a radiantly expressive voice that found new dimensions of feeling in all the material she explored with Mimis on piano and the creative virtuosity of Christos Rafalides on vibes. A night we will all remember and treasure.Thank you for all you do. --Todd Barkan, Programming Director / Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola / Jazz at Lincoln Center, New York
When Christos asked me if we could play something together, I responded favorably. But after listening to his version of a tune I love, All The Things You Are , adapted to a 7/8 time signature, I told him without hesitation: Son, with your talent, the only thing I can play with you is chess. This is how the legendary Mimis Plessas describes his first meeting with Christos Rafalides. In the music world two artists performing or recording together is something that happens all the time. Nothing more trivial nothing more usual than a duet. But on rare occasions two artists click together so well; the match is so perfect, that the duet becomes anything but usual, anything but trivial. It s a perfect match. It s magic.
Mimis Plessas and Christos Rafalides were born in the same corner of the world about half a century apart. They walked the same hills, swam the same waters and listened to the same sounds. At some point or another they both sat on the same bar stools of jazz clubs in the village and performed on the same stages. Just at different times. So, when the two got together, Mimis Plessas hitting the first note on the piano and Christos Rafalides on the vibraphone, amazing music emerged music composed so brilliantly, that although originally arranged for traditional instrumentation and vocals, it retains all its freshness and fervor in these brand new interpretations.
We Two, the first encounter of two outstanding virtuosos. We Two, talent that bridges generations, music that transcends time. We Two recorded so that we too can feel the magic.
Enjoy.
