In This Issue
- Ethan Iverson: Doing Bud Justice ║ By Ed Enright
- DownBeat catches up with pianist, educator and frequent blogger Iverson to discuss his big band commission for the 2018 Umbria Winter Jazz festival, documented on the new album Bud Powell In The 21st Century. The suite-like program draws upon Powell classics like “Bouncing With Bud,” “Celia” and “Tempus Fugit,” as well as Iverson’s own original material inspired by the DownBeat Hall of Famer’s frequently overlooked contributions to the classic bebop canon.
- Gretchen Parlato: Renaissance in Bloom ║ By Suzanne Lorge
- In 2014, Parlato’s album Live In NYC earned her a Grammy nomination—a crowning glory to a decade of career triumphs—and then the singer-songwriter nearly dropped out of sight.
- Gary Bartz: Bridging Generations ║ By Dave Cantor
- The saxophonist has watched the slow roll of history drag on, first from the vantage point of his childhood home in Baltimore, then in New York and the rest of the world while on tour.
- Blindfold Test: Jason Palmer ║ By Gary Fukushima
- The trumpeter’s latest album, 12 Musings For Isabella (Giant Step Arts), is a concert suite inspired by the theft of 12 art pieces from Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990.
