SUMMARY:Marc Copland (co-sponsored by WPKN)
DESCRIPTION:This show kicks off the new JazzFC/WPKN 89.5 partnership\, a monthly collaboration to spread the word about top-tier jazz performances straight to the heart of our community. \nBorn 27 May 1948\, Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, USA\, pianist Marc Copland was a part of the vibrant music scene in Philadelphia as a saxophonist before going to New York where he met John Abercrombie and also played with Chico Hamilton\, and others. He experimented with the electric alto but gradually became dissatisfied with the direction his music was taking and\, leaving New York\, quit playing the sax in order to study piano. He was gone for almost a decade but upon his return to the jazz world in the mid-80s his piano playing was a revelation\, his own vividly original style firmly in place. As a sideman he played with Bob Belden\, Jane Ira Bloom\, Joe Lovano\, Tim Hagans\, James Moody\, Wallace Roney and many others. \nBut his career as a sideman in the Apple was relatively short-lived; Copland began recording and touring in trio with Gary Peacock and Billy Hart (At Night/Sunnyside\, Paradiso/Soul Note) In the nineties\, his reputation spread owing to three legendary recordings with the Savoy label\, which put him on the road in an All-Star quintet (Randy Brecker\, Bob Berg\, and Dennis Chambers)\, and later in quartet with guitarist John Abercrombie\, Drew Gress\, and drummer Hart. \nCopland has enthralled audiences not only in trio and as a solo pianist\, but also as a duo partner without peer—as attested by his duo recordings with Greg Osby (Night Call\, Round and Round/Nagel-Heyer) and Gary Peacock (What It Says/Sketch). \nMarc Copland - piano \nYuriy Galkin - bass \nGreg Wall - saxophones \nStreve Johns - drums

SUMMARY:Michael Rabinowitz
DESCRIPTION:Michael Rabinowitz\, bassoon \nRoberta Piket\, piano \nRich Zurkowski\, bass \nDavid Alvarez III\, drums \nGreg Wall\, soprano saxophone \n  \nWhether blowing bebop over a Mingus tune or freely improvising with Anthony Braxton\, Michael Rabinowitz's contributions have changed the conception of what the bassoon can do. Since graduating with a BFA in music performance from SUNY at Purchase in the late seventies Michael's improvisatory skills opened the door for the bassoon to enter a variety of musical environments not traditionally associated with the instrument. \nHe has recorded with Ira Sullivan\, Red Rodney\, Wynton Marsalis\, John Hicks\, Dave Douglas\, Chris Potter and Joe Lovano. His festival appearances include Chicago\, Montreal\, Berlin\, Tri-city\, Tanglewood\, San Francisco and Hollywood Bowl. Michael is a founding member of The Charles Mingus Orchestra which can be heard regularly at the Jazz Standard in NYC. His quartet Bassoon and the Wild has performed at the The Vanderbilt Planetarium\, Frick Museum\, JVC Jazz Festival\, \, Penn State\, Kavehaz and other venues in NYC. Ocean Eyes is Michael's 5th CD and documents the development of his quartet with mostly original compositions. The Buffet Group USA has been Michael's sponsor for the past fifteen years and has supported his participation in performances and master classes at the IDRS most notably the Jazz at June Festival in Oklahoma with oboist Paul McCandless. In 2009 Michael was awarded a grant from Chamber Music of America in collaboration with French oboist Jean Luc Fillon and released their CD On the Reed Again.  In 2014\, Michael formed a group called The Odd Couple Quintet with jazz horn virtuoso John Clark. Michael has conducted masters classes at many universities and has released four feature albums. \nThere have been a few reported snags to our trusty ticking system\, so if you experience any difficulty\, please call Stephanie at 475-298-5079

SUMMARY:Giacomo Gates
DESCRIPTION:  \nGiacomo Gates does more than sing “a bunch of songs.” He is truly an entertainer\, for all ages and styles\, as audiences enjoy the music\, the interaction on the bandstand between him and his musicians\, the spontaneity\, the humor\, the stories about the music and composers\, along with their relation to everyday life. People are smiling\, having a good time\, while thoroughly enjoying the music. What usually lacks in most of today’s performances is obviously present … fun! \nThe criteria for defining jazz singing will probably be argued for the rest of time. But no matter which side of the argument one may be on\, there can be no doubt that Giacomo Gates is an authentic jazz vocalist. Heavily steeped in the traditions of the original vocal improvisers from Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald through their modern counterparts Betty Carter and Leon Thomas\, Giacomo’s own approach draws most heavily from the bebop-rooted masters like Jon Hendricks\, Babs Gonzales\, King Pleasure and most of all\, Eddie Jefferson. Like his influences\, Gates has forged his own unique path. \n  \nGreg Wall\, saxes\nJoe McWilliams\, piano\nPhil Bowler\, bass\nBobby Leonard\, drums
