Notes on the Programby Greg Thomas

The exploration of the music of ChristianMcBride and Kurt Rosenwinkel by the Jazzat Lincoln Center Orchestra with WyntonMarsalis furthers this season’s theme: “Alljazz is modern.” This phrase is often takento mean that musical styles throughout jazzhistory have contemporary currency, withclassic endurance.

Yet here we have a different angle fromwhich to view the modern import of jazz. Ifin fact all jazz is modern, then would not jazzcomposed and performed by post-babyboomers, by members of Gen X, also apply?

Born in Philadelphia in 1970 and 1972respectively, Kurt Rosenwinkel andChristian McBride are, based on peer influ-ence and critical acclaim, generational bea-cons. Even in his late-teens, when in theearly 1990s McBride hit the jazz scene likea comet, he impressed all, from his heroRay Brown, to Wynton Marsalis, who com-missioned his first big band composition in1995 (“Bluesin’ in Alphabet City”). Marsalisis the musical director for McBride’s por-tion of tonight’s program.

“At that time, Alphabet City was in a transi-tion phase, morphing from the kind ofmotorcycle gang, hooligan-type area to whatit is now,” says McBride. He has addedadditional parts for tonight’s show. The com-position captures the gritty texture of theLower East Side, as he felt it was back then.

McBride has also newly arranged his“Youthful Bliss,” an early swinger with aLatin tinge from his second recording,Number Two Express. Of special interestfor trumpet fans is his arrangement of thechallenging “Thermo” by Freddie Hubbard,with whom he toured early in his career. “Ican’t wait to watch the trumpet section’sfaces when I throw that on ’em,” saidMcBride with impish glee.

So McBride’s role in tonight’s show is nosurprise. But the embrace of guitaristRosenwinkel—a first time with the electricguitar as a melodic lead in the Jazz at LincolnCenter Orchestra—was likely a shock orpleasant surprise to many in the jazz com-munity. Rosenwinkel’s compositional origi-nality and edgy instrumental voice lay on thetangent of what some critics call “main-stream” jazz. Some may even considerRosenwinkel’s music to be “post-modern.”

Be that as it may, Rosenwinkel himselfcounts tonight as “an honor.” The handfulof songs from his body of 120 compositionswill provide a glimpse into his approach,which isn’t based on specific forms such as32-bar AABA structures. His diverse selec-tions have arisen organically from melodiesor harmonies that come to him when freelyimprovising. The musical director for thisportion of the show is drummer AliJackson, who performed and toured inRosenwinkel’s band before joining the Jazzat Lincoln Center Orchestra.

Jackson says Kurt’s forms are “oblong,”going from section to section, with“unconventional phrasing” and shiftingdesigns, i.e., different measure lengthsand tonal centers. Rosenwinkel, ratherthan riffing on astral, cosmic metaphorsoften associated with his work, describeshis process of discovery in quite earthy,even archaeological terms.

“You’re brushing around the dig site, andyou keep brushing away and removingstuff to make it clearer. Then,” he says,“maybe you find a pyramid.”

His song “Brooklyn Sometimes” is anexample.

“I came up with the chords first, then con-structed the melody and the groove aroundthat, and then worked on the four sectionsof the song.” The title derives from histenure in the Park Slope section ofBrooklyn, seeing “how the sunset light in

Jazz at Lincoln Center

the evening glistened off the red brick ofthe brownstones, a beautiful moment thatonly happens sometimes.”

Other songs, such as “Déjà Vu,” from hislatest album Star of Jupiter, “…kind of flyout and emerge fully formed. I noticed thata melodic motif kept recurring at different

places in the song. It made me think aboutthe feeling of déjà vu.”

The song “Spirit Kiss” may best sum it up.“Every song feels to me kind of like a kissfrom the spirit,” Rosenwinkel says.Perhaps by the end of tonight’s perfor-mance, you’ll feel the same.

Meet the Artists

Bassist, composer, arranger, educator,curator, and administrator Christian McBride(Bass ) has been one of the most importantand omnipresent figures in the jazz worldfor more than 20 years. The Philadelphia-born bassist moved to New York City in 1989to further his classical studies at The JuilliardSchool, where he was quickly snatched upby Bobby Watson. McBride’s subsequentaccomplishments have been staggering. Asa sideman in the jazz world, he has workedwith Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Rollins, J.J.Johnson, Ray Brown, Milt Jackson, McCoyTyner, Roy Haynes, Chick Corea, HerbieHancock, and Pat Metheny. In the R&Bworld, he has played with and arranged forIsaac Hayes, Chaka Khan, Natalie Cole, LalahHathaway, and James Brown. In the pop/rockworld, McBride has collaborated extensivelywith Sting, Carly Simon, Don Henley, andBruce Hornsby. In the hip-hop/neo-soulworld, he has collaborated with The Roots,D’Angelo, and Queen Latifah. He has alsoworked closely with opera legend KathleenBattle, bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer, theShanghai Quartet, and the Sonus Quartet.

McBride has become an astute andrespected spokesperson for the music. In

1997 he spoke on former President BillClinton’s town hall meeting “Racism in thePerforming Arts.” In 2000 he was namedartistic director of the Jazz AspenSnowmass Summer Sessions. In 2005 hewas officially named the co-director of theNational Jazz Museum in Harlem and thesecond creative chair for Jazz of the LosAngeles Philharmonic Association.

In 1998 McBride composed The Movement,Revisited, a four-movement suite dedicatedto major figures of the civil rights move-ment, commissioned by the Portland (ME)Arts Society and the National Endowmentfor the Arts. Ten years later in 2008, TheMovement, Revisited was expanded, re-written, re-vamped, and performed again inLos Angeles at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Since 2000 McBride has led the ChristianMcBride Band, featuring saxophonist RonBlake, keyboardist Geoffrey Keezer, anddrummer Terreon Gully. Between therelease of their two CDs, 2002’s VerticalVision and 2006’s Live at Tonic, writer AlanLeeds called McBride’s band “one of themost intoxicating, least predictable bands onthe scene today.” In 2009 Christian releasedhis quintet CD Christian McBride & InsideStraight, a return to his undiluted “straight-ahead” roots featuring Steve Wilson,Warren Wolf, Eric Reed, and Carl Allen.

In 2011 he released Conversations withChristian, a recording of duets with GeorgeDuke, Angelique Kidjo, Dr. Billy Taylor, HankJones, Chick Corea, Eddie Palmieri, ReginaCarter, Ron Blake, Roy Hargrove, Russell

Malone, and more. McBride reachedanother milestone in 2011 with The GoodFeeling, his first big band recording.McBride’s first foray into big band com-posing and arranging was in 1995, when hewas commissioned by Jazz at LincolnCenter to write Bluesin’ in Alphabet City,featured on The Good Feeling and originallydebuted by the Jazz at Lincoln CenterOrchestra with Wynton Marsalis.

Guitarist, composer, and educator KurtRosenwinkel (Guitar ) is an undisputed trail-blazer. During an almost 25-year career, hehas collaborated with dynamic peers likeBrad Mehldau, Brian Blade, Mark Turner,Joshua Redman, and Chris Potter, andesteemed jazz elders like Joe Henderson,Paul Motian, and Gary Burton.

Born in 1970 in Philadelphia to musicalparents, Rosenwinkel first picked up theguitar at age 12. He attended Creative andPerforming Arts High School with futurePhilly greats like Christian McBride, JoeyDeFrancesco, and Ahmir “Questlove”Thompson of The Roots. After two yearsat Berklee College of Music, Rosenwinkelleft to tour and record with veterans GaryBurton and Paul Motian, the beginning ofa decade-long tenure with Motian’sElectric Bebop Band. Rosenwinkel movedto New York City in the early 1990s. Hiscollaborations with Jeff Ballard, BenStreet, and Mark Turner at Smalls jazz clubhelped develop an essential sound of theirgeneration’s musical landscape.

After winning the Composer’s Award fromthe National Endowment for the Arts in1995, Rosenwinkel recorded and indepen-dently released his debut album as a leader,East Coast Love Affair, in 1996, and followed

with Intuit in 1999. In 2000 Rosenwinkelreleased Enemies of Energy, his first projectfor Verve and a complete set of original com-positions. He joined Brian Blade’s Fellowshipband that year and appeared on thedrummer’s Perceptual album.

Feeling that his musical knowledge was anobstruction to genuine enjoyment of theart, Rosenwinkel obliterated what heknew by shedding an alternate guitartuning. That creative breakthrough pro-duced one of Rosenwinkel’s most seminalrecordings, The Next Step, featuring themodern classic “Zhivago.” Rosenwinkelalso introduced his voice as an intrinsicpart of his music.

A fan of hip-hop and artists like TheNotorious B.I.G., Rosenwinkel worked withhip-hop veteran Q-Tip (of A Tribe CalledQuest) on his next Verve release,Heartcore. The two collaborated on Q-Tip’sRenaissance, which led to Q-Tip co-pro-ducing Rosenwinkel’s experimental album.

Following his chapter closer for Verve—2005’s Deep Song with Joshua Redman,Brad Mehldau, Larry Grenadier, AliJackson, and Jeff Ballard—Rosenwinkelbegan a new phase with The Remedy.Released in 2008, it is a live documentationof Rosenwinkel performing at the VillageVanguard, a venue at which Rosenwinkel’sperformances are highly anticipated.

His next album, Reflections, is a collectionof mainly ballads and standards. An under-the-radar use of Q-Tip’s “Vivrant Thing” asthe rhythmic foundation on the Shorterclassic, “Fall,” showcases Rosenwinkel’sknack for recruiting extraordinary and styl-istically fluid drummers.

Rosenwinkel followed that with a starklycontrasting project in 2010 with OrquestraJazz de Matosinhos (OJM), a Portugal-based big band. A stunning re-visitation ofsome of Rosenwinkel’s finest work, OurSecret World celebrates his significance as

A pianist, bandleader, and composer, California-born Brubeck (1920–2012) grew new audiences—particularly on college campusesnationwide—with a sophisticated, swinging style. In 1958, a far-ranging U.S. Department ofState tour to countries in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Southern Asia gave Brubeckthe opportunity to serve as a cultural ambassador. A socially engaged artist, Brubeckconsistently fought for racial integration and equality at home and abroad. Our exhibit, foundon the fifth floor of Frederick P. Rose Hall, features historical photographs, scores,ephemera—including concert programs and correspondence—and videos. Please stop by,learn more about one of the legends of jazz, and enjoy!

Modern EllingtonJune 5-7 at 8pmDuke Ellington is the foundation of Jazz at LincolnCenter's aesthetic. On this program, the Jazz atLincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalisdraws from its already deep well of Ellingtonia witharrangements that shed light on the depth and com-plexity of the maestro's all-modernistic-all-the-timecorpus. His music was known for its unique ability toilluminate any setting, from the night club, to thedance hall, to the concert hall. Ellington, who wrotemore than 3,000 compositions during his career, won13 GRAMMY® Awards alongside numerous otherhonors, including citations from two presidents. The

New York Times refers to "Ellington's ability to mashtogether, like some improbably graceful garbagecompactor, stylistic elements from all eras, from jazz,classical, folk and any other idioms that happened tostrike his fancy" Ellington's distinctly democraticvision sets the stage for an evening sure to be mod-ern in many contexts. "The Clothed Woman," a rarelyheard yet accomplished work, will be featured.Free pre-concert discussion, nightly, 7pm.

Frisell is joined by fellow guitarmaster Greg Leisz on electric and pedal steel gui-tars, and his trio partners Tony Scherr on bass andKenny Wollesen on drums. Together they will beexploring music of the electric guitar in the spaceage—Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant, CharlieChristian, Merle Travis, Link Wray, Duane Eddy, ChetAtkins, Chuck Berry, Dick Dale, The Ventures, TheAstronauts,The Wrecking Crew, and more.
