I’m wishing jazz lovers a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and Happy New Year, especially to those of you who listen to and support the jazz programming on KZMU. Tonight's show is both jazzy and Christmassy. Instead of the usual summary, we'll include an abbreviated playlist. Stop right here if you're not fascinated with the details. For a detailed description of the show, go to Republic of Jazz and search for Tom O.

DKV Trio (Hamid Drake / Kent Kessler / Ken Vandermark) - Latitutde 41.88 (NOT TWO RECORDS 2017)



The DKV Trio is one of the most exciting ensembles working in contemporary improvised music. Featuring Hamid Drake (drums), Kent Kessler (bass), and Ken Vandermark, the band has been active since the mid 1990s and has released eleven recordings, including their most recent album, which came out in the autumn of 2016: Collider (that features the trio paired with the Scandinavian group, The Thing).

Their 2014 five CD box set, Sound in Motion in Sound, was reviewed by the Free Jazz Collective as follows, “They are tighter, more explosive, and ingenious than ever. Imagine every DKV Trio’s signature element coming together in a remarkably dazzling, fiery display of musical prowess. There’s an almost palpable quality to the way that the musicians meld their ideas and approaches together. There’s groove propelled by Drake’s funky, loose drumming, there’s melody in the bass lines, there’s dissonance and conflict in Vandermark’s fluid, mercurial playing.

This is a great recording by an unmistakable, intense group of musicians with a sound and feeling of their own. That much is clear now. I would even dare to call this album their best to date. Inspired, full of energy, harmonically, rhythmically, and even melodically rich, capable of wonderfully recreating the joy of listening to DKV Trio live.” 5 stars

2017 promises to be an exceptional year for the band: they will be releasing a new album on the label Not Two, have concerts scheduled in Canada during June, and will tour in Europe with Joe McPhee as a guest for the first time in their career.

Airto Moreira - Aluê (2017)


Aluê, seu primeiro trabalho após Live in Berkeley, de 2012, foi registrado num estúdio localizado numa fazenda, na paisagem verde do interior de São Paulo. Apoiado e construído com um time de grandes músicos (Carlos Ezequiel, José Neto, Sizão Machado, Vítor Alcântara, Fabio Leandro, Diana Purim e Krishna Booker), Aluê se apresenta como uma revisão inteligente e necessária de grandes momentos da carreira de Airto Moreira, retomando e relendo composições que evocam seu portentoso universo sonoro.

Não se trata apenas de seus ritmos, síncopes, cadências, diálogos, melodias, frases, gritos e texturas – mas também do que sua música disse e continua dizendo nos tempos estranhos em que vivemos, nos quais não podemos mais ignorar os avisos que o planeta envia a cada momento. De várias formas, essa mensagem sempre esteve na música desse catarinense, nascido em 1941 na pequena e charmosa Itaiópolis. A cada audição, Aluê nos traz lembranças, ressignificando experiências e emoções – algo como pegar uma canoa e atirar-se rio abaixo, enfrentando corredeiras rápidas e quedas perigosas, que se alternam com as águas mais calmas e límpidas cobertas por copas de árvores centenárias em meio à Mata Atlântica. É fato que a Mãe Terra sempre esteve presente na obra de Airto, sempre se manifestou nela inspirando seu sound design, sua marca registrada. READ MORE...

Yoram Rosilio & the Anti RuBber brAiN fAct0rY - Anti RuBber brAiN fAct0rY & Mar0kAït (LFDS RECORDS 2017)




Throughout the centuries each region, each town and sometimes even each village in Morocco have developed their own particular individual musical identities. Inspired by everyday life they give expression to major events of society recording and marking the identity of tribes and regions. They constitute an absolute traditional treasure, telling the tales of the different customs of people but also giving voice to their rebellious spirits and their magical and mystical visions of the world.

Our inspiration comes from this wide multicolored repertoire and we have endeavored to respect, to the best of our ability, the shapes, structures, rhythms and intentions that we can feel in this music and to reproduce them with what makes us musical beings.
