SUMMARY:FROM NEW YORK: NICK HEMPTON QUARTET CD RELEASE
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 2024\, Hempton made one of his regular visits to Vancouver to reunite with his very soulful co-conspirators Jesse Cahill and Nick Peck for a weekend at Frankie’s\, the city’s legendary jazz club. After some cajoling\, Van City tenor legend Cory Weeds agreed to join on stage to form a two-horn quartet. Mics were set up\, favourite tunes were chosen\, cocktails were consumed; and with the Frankie’s crowd in fine fettle\, urging us on with stomps and hollers\, we laid down a set of hard-driving soul jazz. \nIn between shows\, to balance the live feel\, the cats descended into the murky shadows of a grungy basement studio\, the carpeted walls dripping with years of accumulated funk. In keeping with the free blowing feel of the club gig\, the studio session took place live\, with no isolation and no safety net; and in the subterranean twilight the quartet knocked out a set of swingers in a couple of hours\, each tune needing only one or two takes. \nWeeds and Hempton are long-time friends and mutual admirers\, and it was a gas to engage in a little sporting\, good-natured combat\, tipping their hats to the great two-tenor matchups of the past: Dexter Gordon and Herschel Evans\, Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt\, Johnny Griffin and Lockjaw Davis. And while they were wailing\, Peck & Cahill were getting down to serious business\, lighting the fire and keeping it burning until the last note faded. \nCelebrate the release of their new cd Horns Locked! \nThe Band: Nick Hempton~tenor sax\, Cory Weeds~tenor sax\, Nick Peck~organ and Jesse Cahill~drums \nCover: Sold Out | Both Shows

SUMMARY:SULLIVAN FORTNER

As a solo leader\, he has released Moments Preserved (Decca\, 2018) and Aria (Impulse!\, 2015) to critical acclaim\, and he’s only getting started. Now based in New York\, Fortner has earned recognition in multiple DownBeat Critics Poll categories\, winning first place in Rising Star Piano and Rising Star Jazz Artist. \nIn addition to associations with such diverse voices as Wynton Marsalis\, Paul Simon\, Diane Reeves\, Etienne Charles and John Scofield\, Fortner’s frequent and longtime collaborators have included Ambrose Akinmusire\, Dee Dee Bridgewater\, Stefon Harris\, Kassa Overall\, Tivon Pennicott\, Peter Bernstein\, Nicholas Payton\, Billy Hart\, Gary Bartz\, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah\, Fred Hersch and the late Roy Hargrove.

He’s appeared at celebrated festivals\, including Newport\, Monterey\, Discover\, Tri-C and Gillmore Keyboard\, among others.

SUMMARY:THE HEADHUNTERS
DESCRIPTION:The Headhunters\, the legendary jazz-funk ensemble co-led by percussionist Bill Summers and drummer Mike Clark with NEA Jazz Master Donald Harrison on alto saxophone\, celebrated the band’s 50th anniversary in 2023\, having formed around Herbie Hancock’s classic recordings\, Head Hunters\, in 1973\, Thrust in 1974 and Man-Child in 1975. The band continued without Mr. Hancock and has released 8 albums under the Headhunters name starting with Survival of the Fittest in 1975 and on Straight from the Gate in 1977 (featuring the smash hit “God Make Me Funky” sampled on over 350 hip hop and pop songs)\, and most recently Speakers In the House in 2022 and Live From Brooklyn Bowl in 2023. The band’s new album The Stunt Man comes out October 11th\, 2024 on Ropeadope recorded at the legendary Hyde Street Studios. \nFew bands can boast a history as fortuitous and storied as The Headhunters. What each member brings to the table forged a history that most bands can only dream of. Their blend of jazz with funk and rock would go on to sell over a million albums worldwide\, while the band’s legacy would inspire musicians of every genre for years to come\, be sampled by hundreds of hip-hop artists throughout the ’80s and ’90s\, and influence countless musicians’ playing today. The Headhunters’ impact remains a global phenomenon\, and their time with Hancock proved to be a life changing experience. \nBill Summers – percussion\nMike Clark – drums\nDonald Harrison – saxophone\nChris Severin – bass\nKyle Roussel – piano \nCover Chaege: $25.00 – $50.00 + $3.50 fee
