Notes on the Program
by Greg Thomas
The exploration of the music of Christian
McBride and Kurt Rosenwinkel by the Jazz
at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton
Marsalis furthers this seasons theme: All
jazz is modern. This phrase is often taken
to mean that musical styles throughout jazz
history have contemporary currency, with
classic endurance.
Yet here we have a different angle from
which to view the modern import of jazz. If
in fact all jazz is modern, then would not jazz
composed and performed by post-baby
boomers, by members of Gen X, also apply?
Born in Philadelphia in 1970 and 1972
respectively, Kurt Rosenwinkel and
Christian McBride are, based on peer influ-
ence and critical acclaim, generational bea-
cons. Even in his late-teens, when in the
early 1990s McBride hit the jazz scene like
a comet, he impressed all, from his hero
Ray Brown, to Wynton Marsalis, who com-
missioned his first big band composition in
1995 (Bluesin in Alphabet City). Marsalis
is the musical director for McBrides por-
tion of tonights program.
At that time, Alphabet City was in a transi-
tion phase, morphing from the kind of
motorcycle gang, hooligan-type area to what
it is now, says McBride. He has added
additional parts for tonights show. The com-
position captures the gritty texture of the
Lower East Side, as he felt it was back then.
McBride has also newly arranged his
Youthful Bliss, an early swinger with a
Latin tinge from his second recording,
Number Two Express. Of special interest
for trumpet fans is his arrangement of the
challenging Thermo by Freddie Hubbard,
with whom he toured early in his career. I
cant wait to watch the trumpet sections
faces when I throw that on em, said
McBride with impish glee.
So McBrides role in tonights show is no
surprise. But the embrace of guitarist
Rosenwinkela first time with the electric
guitar as a melodic lead in the Jazz at Lincoln
Center Orchestrawas likely a shock or
pleasant surprise to many in the jazz com-
munity. Rosenwinkels compositional origi-
nality and edgy instrumental voice lay on the
tangent of what some critics call main-
stream jazz. Some may even consider
Rosenwinkels music to be post-modern.
Be that as it may, Rosenwinkel himself
counts tonight as an honor. The handful
of songs from his body of 120 compositions
will provide a glimpse into his approach,
which isnt based on specific forms such as
32-bar AABA structures. His diverse selec-
tions have arisen organically from melodies
or harmonies that come to him when freely
improvising. The musical director for this
portion of the show is drummer Ali
Jackson, who performed and toured in
Rosenwinkels band before joining the Jazz
at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
Jackson says Kurts forms are oblong,
going from section to section, with
unconventional phrasing and shifting
designs, i.e., different measure lengths
and tonal centers. Rosenwinkel, rather
than riffing on astral, cosmic metaphors
often associated with his work, describes
his process of discovery in quite earthy,
even archaeological terms.
Youre brushing around the dig site, and
you keep brushing away and removing
stuff to make it clearer. Then, he says,
maybe you find a pyramid.
His song Brooklyn Sometimes is an
example.
I came up with the chords first, then con-
structed the melody and the groove around
that, and then worked on the four sections
of the song. The title derives from his
tenure in the Park Slope section of
Brooklyn, seeing how the sunset light in
Jazz at Lincoln Center
the evening glistened off the red brick of
the brownstones, a beautiful moment that
only happens sometimes.
Other songs, such as Dj Vu, from his
latest album Star of Jupiter, kind of fly
out and emerge fully formed. I noticed that
a melodic motif kept recurring at different
places in the song. It made me think about
the feeling of dj vu.
The song Spirit Kiss may best sum it up.
Every song feels to me kind of like a kiss
from the spirit, Rosenwinkel says.
Perhaps by the end of tonights perfor-
mance, youll feel the same.
Meet the Artists
Bassist, composer, arranger, educator,
curator, and administrator Christian McBride
(Bass) has been one of the most important
and omnipresent figures in the jazz world
for more than 20 years. The Philadelphia-
born bassist moved to New York City in 1989
to further his classical studies at The Juilliard
School, where he was quickly snatched up
by Bobby Watson. McBrides subsequent
accomplishments have been staggering. As
a sideman in the jazz world, he has worked
with Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Rollins, J.J.
Johnson, Ray Brown, Milt Jackson, McCoy
Tyner, Roy Haynes, Chick Corea, Herbie
Hancock, and Pat Metheny. In the R&B
world, he has played with and arranged for
Isaac Hayes, Chaka Khan, Natalie Cole, Lalah
Hathaway, and James Brown. In the pop/rock
world, McBride has collaborated extensively
with Sting, Carly Simon, Don Henley, and
Bruce Hornsby. In the hip-hop/neo-soul
world, he has collaborated with The Roots,
DAngelo, and Queen Latifah. He has also
worked closely with opera legend Kathleen
Battle, bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer, the
Shanghai Quartet, and the Sonus Quartet.
McBride has become an astute and
respected spokesperson for the music. In
1997 he spoke on former President Bill
Clintons town hall meeting Racism in the
Performing Arts. In 2000 he was named
artistic director of the Jazz Aspen
Snowmass Summer Sessions. In 2005 he
was officially named the co-director of the
National Jazz Museum in Harlem and the
second creative chair for Jazz of the Los
Angeles Philharmonic Association.
In 1998 McBride composed The Movement,
Revisited, a four-movement suite dedicated
to major figures of the civil rights move-
ment, commissioned by the Portland (ME)
Arts Society and the National Endowment
for the Arts. Ten years later in 2008, The
Movement, Revisited was expanded, re-
written, re-vamped, and performed again in
Los Angeles at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Since 2000 McBride has led the Christian
McBride Band, featuring saxophonist Ron
Blake, keyboardist Geoffrey Keezer, and
drummer Terreon Gully. Between the
release of their two CDs, 2002s Vertical
Vision and 2006s Live at Tonic, writer Alan
Leeds called McBrides band one of the
most intoxicating, least predictable bands on
the scene today. In 2009 Christian released
his quintet CD Christian McBride & Inside
Straight, a return to his undiluted straight-
ahead roots featuring Steve Wilson,
Warren Wolf, Eric Reed, and Carl Allen.
In 2011 he released Conversations with
Christian, a recording of duets with George
Duke, Angelique Kidjo, Dr. Billy Taylor, Hank
Jones, Chick Corea, Eddie Palmieri, Regina
Carter, Ron Blake, Roy Hargrove, Russell
Christian McBride

Malone, and more. McBride reached
another milestone in 2011 with The Good
Feeling, his first big band recording.
McBrides first foray into big band com-
posing and arranging was in 1995, when he
was commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln
Center to write Bluesin in Alphabet City,
featured on The Good Feeling and originally
debuted by the Jazz at Lincoln Center
Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis.
Guitarist, composer, and educator Kurt
Rosenwinkel (Guitar ) is an undisputed trail-
blazer. During an almost 25-year career, he
has collaborated with dynamic peers like
Brad Mehldau, Brian Blade, Mark Turner,
Joshua Redman, and Chris Potter, and
esteemed jazz elders like Joe Henderson,
Paul Motian, and Gary Burton.
Born in 1970 in Philadelphia to musical
parents, Rosenwinkel first picked up the
guitar at age 12. He attended Creative and
Performing Arts High School with future
Philly greats like Christian McBride, Joey
DeFrancesco, and Ahmir Questlove
Thompson of The Roots. After two years
at Berklee College of Music, Rosenwinkel
left to tour and record with veterans Gary
Burton and Paul Motian, the beginning of
a decade-long tenure with Motians
Electric Bebop Band. Rosenwinkel moved
to New York City in the early 1990s. His
collaborations with Jeff Ballard, Ben
Street, and Mark Turner at Smalls jazz club
helped develop an essential sound of their
generations musical landscape.
After winning the Composers Award from
the National Endowment for the Arts in
1995, 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 Rosenwinkel
released Enemies of Energy, his first project
for Verve and a complete set of original com-
positions. He joined Brian Blades Fellowship
band that year and appeared on the
drummers Perceptual album.
Feeling that his musical knowledge was an
obstruction to genuine enjoyment of the
art, Rosenwinkel obliterated what he
knew by shedding an alternate guitar
tuning. That creative breakthrough pro-
duced one of Rosenwinkels most seminal
recordings, The Next Step, featuring the
modern classic Zhivago. Rosenwinkel
also introduced his voice as an intrinsic
part of his music.
A fan of hip-hop and artists like The
Notorious B.I.G., Rosenwinkel worked with
hip-hop veteran Q-Tip (of A Tribe Called
Quest) on his next Verve release,
Heartcore. The two collaborated on Q-Tips
Renaissance, which led to Q-Tip co-pro-
ducing Rosenwinkels experimental album.
Following his chapter closer for Verve
2005s Deep Song with Joshua Redman,
Brad Mehldau, Larry Grenadier, Ali
Jackson, and Jeff BallardRosenwinkel
began a new phase with The Remedy.
Released in 2008, it is a live documentation
of Rosenwinkel performing at the Village
Vanguard, a venue at which Rosenwinkels
performances are highly anticipated.
His next album, Reflections, is a collection
of mainly ballads and standards. An under-
the-radar use of Q-Tips Vivrant Thing as
the rhythmic foundation on the Shorter
classic, Fall, showcases Rosenwinkels
knack for recruiting extraordinary and styl-
istically fluid drummers.
Rosenwinkel followed that with a starkly
contrasting project in 2010 with Orquestra
Jazz de Matosinhos (OJM), a Portugal-
based big band. A stunning re-visitation of
some of Rosenwinkels finest work, Our
Secret World celebrates his significance as

a composer and leader, and his ever-
expanding technical command.
Rosenwinkel released Star of Jupiter, his
tenth album as a leader, in 2012, featuring
Aaron Parks, Justin Faulkner, and Eric
Revis. Rosenwinkel lives in Berlin and cur-
rently teaches at The Jazz Institute Berlin.
Wynton Marsalis (Music Director, Trumpet)
is the managing and artistic director of Jazz
at Lincoln Center and a world-renowned
trumpeter and composer. Born in New
Orleans, Louisiana in 1961, Marsalis began
his classical training on trumpet at age 12,
entered The Juilliard School at age 17, and
then joined Art Blakey and the Jazz
Messengers. He made his recording debut
as a leader in 1982, and has since recorded
more than 60 jazz and classical recordings,
which have won him nine GRAMMY

Awards. In 1983 he became the first and

only artist to win both classical and jazz
GRAMMYs

in the same year and repeated

this feat in 1984. Marsalis is also an interna-
tionally respected teacher and spokesman
for music education, and has received hon-
orary doctorates from dozens of U.S. uni-
versities and colleges. He has written six
books; his most recent are Squeak, Rumble,
Whomp! Whomp! Whomp!, illustrated by
Paul Rogers and published by Candlewick
Press in 2012, and Moving to Higher
Ground: How Jazz Can Change Your Life
with Geoffrey C. Ward, published by
Random House in 2008. In 1997 Marsalis
became the first jazz artist to be awarded
the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in music for his
oratorio Blood on the Fields, which was
commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center. In
2001 he was appointed Messenger of
Peace by Mr. Kofi Annan, Secretary-General
of the United Nations, and he has also been
designated cultural ambassador to the
United States of America by the U.S. State
Department through their CultureConnect
program. Marsalis was instrumental in the
Higher Ground Hurricane Relief concert,
produced by Jazz at Lincoln Center. The
event raised more than $3 million for the
Higher Ground Relief Fund to benefit the
musicians, music industry-related enter-
prises, and other individuals and entities
from the areas in Greater New Orleans who
were impacted by Hurricane Katrina.
Marsalis helped lead the effort to construct

THE APPEL ROOM
John Pizzarelli Quartet
with Special Guest Jane Monheit
May 3031 at 7pm & 9:30pm
Soulful elegance, virtuosic musicianship, melodic cre-
ativity, and an unfailing swing will be operative during
this meeting of John Pizzarelli and Jane Monheit,
each a world-class communicator of an encyclopedic
array of Americanand otherpopular song styles.
A formidable practitioner of the 7-string guitar and
the most conversational of singers, Pizzarelli
addresses, in his own manner, repertoire associated
with Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, and
others. Known for her extraordinary vocal instrument
since she burst onto the scene in her early twenties,
Monheit has steadily matured, consistently following
Rosemary Clooney's exhortation "to keep telling the
truth, because everybody knows the difference."
June 2014
ROSE THEATER
Modern Ellington
June 5-7 at 8pm
Duke Ellington is the foundation of Jazz at Lincoln
Center's aesthetic. On this program, the Jazz at
Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis
draws from its already deep well of Ellingtonia with
arrangements that shed light on the depth and com-
plexity of the maestro's all-modernistic-all-the-time
corpus. His music was known for its unique ability to
illuminate any setting, from the night club, to the
dance hall, to the concert hall. Ellington, who wrote
more than 3,000 compositions during his career, won
13 GRAMMY

Awards alongside numerous other

honors, including citations from two presidents. The
New York Times refers to "Ellington's ability to mash
together, like some improbably graceful garbage
compactor, stylistic elements from all eras, from jazz,
classical, folk and any other idioms that happened to
strike his fancy" Ellington's distinctly democratic
vision sets the stage for an evening sure to be mod-
ern in many contexts. "The Clothed Woman," a rarely
heard yet accomplished work, will be featured.
Free pre-concert discussion, nightly, 7pm.
THE APPEL ROOM
Bill Frisell: The Electric Guitar in America
June 6-7 at 7pm & 9:30pm
Always on the lookout for opportunities to "dig
around for where I'm coming from," Bill Frisell pre-
sents an homage to the instrumental popular music
made "right at the birth of the Fender Telecaster gui-
tar" that, he recalls, "got me super fired up" about his
instrument of choice. Frisell is joined by fellow guitar
master Greg Leisz on electric and pedal steel gui-
tars, and his trio partners Tony Scherr on bass and
Kenny Wollesen on drums. Together they will be
exploring music of the electric guitar in the space
ageSpeedy West and Jimmy Bryant, Charlie
Christian, Merle Travis, Link Wray, Duane Eddy, Chet
Atkins, Chuck Berry, Dick Dale, The Ventures, The
Astronauts,The Wrecking Crew, and more. As on all
Frisell projects, the proceedings will be, he under-
states, "rich with possibility."
201415 SEASON SUBSCRIPTIONS
