goes global
Y
ou’ve heard the phrase “Think
Globally, Act Locally,” right? The
Checkout flips the script, bringing a month of programming from around
the world to our local audience.
On April 30th, WBGO’s Josh Jackson
reported from International Jazz Day in
Istanbul, Turkey. That’s where the
Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz and
United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
are holding the second annual
International Jazz Day celebration, featuring an all-star lineup of musicians performing at Hagia Irene, a religious space
dating to the 4th century.
Istanbul

That’s just the beginning. Every Tuesday
in May, The Checkout will showcase
artists from Europe, Africa, the Middle
East and the Americas.
WBGO Special Projects producer Josh
Jackson visits the jazzahead! conference
in the historic town of Bremen, Germany.
Nearly forty bands from all corners of the
globe will present showcase performances
at the annual new music expo. The
Checkout will highlight the best of that
music on May 7th and 14th, in association with jazzahead! and Radio Bremen.
Hear modern sounds from Croatia,
Finland, Germany, Israel and the UK and
more, with multicultural references that
Bremen
www.wbgo.org
globalbroadcasts
Johannesburg
trace back to Albanian, Bengali and
Yemenite heritage.
Then we visit South Africa, a country
with a distinguished jazz history rarely
told in the United States. There, the
music was an antidote to the historic
injustice of Apartheid and state-sponsored tyranny.
Josh Jackson visited Johannesburg last
year, and WBGO Staff Producer Simon
Rentner recently attended the 2013 Cape
Town International Jazz Festival. They
met a lot of local musicians—saxophonist
McCoy Mrubata, trumpeter Feya Faku,
pianist Andile Yenana, and bassist/instrument maker Carlo Mombelli in Joburg, as
well as trumpeter Marcus Wyatt and guitarist Reza Khota in Cape Town. David
Copland, author of In Township Tonight!,
will provide some context. South African
radio host Etienne Shardlow will add his
perspective.
Special editions of The Checkout in
South Africa air May 21st and May 28th,
spotlighting the country’s rich jazz history
and a new breed of improvisers, some of
whom are a generation removed from the
crumbling colonial era. These musicians
www.wbgo.org
Reza Khota
come together for two special programs
featuring South African jazz, past and
present.
Don’t miss these opportunities to discover how America’s great music and cultural contributions to our world are translated in other languages!
You can also hear music selections from
around the world on WBGO’s
HD2 service. Stream it anytime on your
laptop, tablet or mobile device at

in the wbgo GALLERY
O
n display in the WBGO Gallery through June 30, 2013 is
bone artist Tia Jannah’s exhibit Rhythm inspired by
Hurricane Katrina of August 2005, and the storm’s profound and soul-wrenching impact on New Orleans and her people.
Many died—some physically, others emotionally. The Rhythm series
represents the hope of new life to those who were affected. Jannah’s
work also represents the establishment of mankind and the
Egyptian culture.
Jannah describes her creative process which led to this exhibit,
tiajannah.com
“As I work with bones, I am exploring the idea that there is a periTia Jannah
od between death and rebirth. Not only do my bones have new life,
I have the sense of new life—of creating new life. Like the discovery of a Divine gift, I
experience joy, energy, and self accomplishment. I try to convey all of this in my work.”
“I begin each piece by trying to visualize
the mental enigma of an object or symbol
and the strong meaning behind it. I then
find the bones that fit the puzzle best. The
colors I choose to use most often are
bronze and copper. I feel that these colors
give my work a rich, strong earthy quality
while preserving a sense of ‘age’ in honor of
a life lived. I know a piece is done, when it
is at a state of being ‘alive’.”
The three dimensional framed wall
hangings in the Rhythm exhibit represent
Saxophone by
instruments known to the jazz world, such
Tia Jannah
as the saxophone (pictured here), congas,
guitar and more.
Our next WBGO Board of Trustees meeting will be held on
Monday, May 20, 2013 at 6pm. The meeting location is to
be determined. CheckWBGO.org for details. This meeting
is open to the public.

Eddie Palmieri
at the Kennedy
Center
“Looking dapper
in a gray suit and
a red tie that
Eddie Palmieri
would finish the
set draped loosely around his neck,” writes
Jess Righthand for The Washington Post,
“Palmieri took his seat at the piano and
alighted on a delicate arpeggio. A slow smile
crept across the 76-year-old’s face as lyrical phrases evolved into blues riffs, which
then gave way to staccato splashes . . .
[He] even stood up to give the audience
an endearing peek at his salsa dancing
skills.” Hear the concert by the 2013 NEA
Jazz Master and his young band on JazzSet.

All programs subject to change.

May 19 “Edmar Castañeda and
Friends” at the Americas
Society, New York
The Wall Street Journal calls him “the
Hippest Harpist,” playing a 32-string instrument from Colombia (his homeland) and
Venezuela. To packed houses, the Music of
the Americas series presented Castañeda in
three concerts with his trio—saxophonist
Shlomi Cohen and drummer/percussionist
David Silliman. Guests are vocalist Andrea
Tierra, bandoneonist Héctor Del Curto, vibraphonist Joe Locke, flutist Itai Kriss, and cuatro legend Jorge Glem. Imagine the possibilities! We have highlights.
Edmar Castaneda and Friends on JazzSet is supported by Presenting Jazz, a program of Chamber
Music America funded through the generosity of
the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
May 26
Chris Potter’s The Sirens
at the Village Vanguard
Saxophonist Chris Potter, bright-toned and
gymnastically powerful, has been reading
Homer lately. That’s inspired his latest suite,
The Sirens, a collection of tuneful numbers
based on The Odyssey and geared largely
around a quartet of widely admired musicians,
not least of whom is Potter himself.
FOUR TRIOS AT THE
KENNEDY CENTER JAZZ CLUB
June 2 Mulgrew Miller Trio
and Russell Malone Trio
Miller’s piano is “deep and satisfying . . .
thoughtful and engaging . . . there’s a soulful

Schramm. Guitarist Russell Malone is a kindred spirit, and both Miller and Malone lead
finely tuned trios.
June 9 Dr. Lonnie Smith Trio

Corea spins from

to the avant
garde. Musicians
of the Jazz at
Lincoln Center
Orchestra expand
the Corea songbook with their
own arrangements. Chick Corea joins them
on acoustic piano for “Matrix,” “Crystal
Silence” and “Tones for Joan’s Bones.”
May 20 Eddie Palmieri Retrospective
‘La Perfecta’—pianist and composer Eddie
Palmieri’s first band—aptly describes his
perfect mix of driving Afro-Cuban grooves
and jazz rhythms. Palmieri takes the helm
with two of his ensembles—the Eddie
Palmieri Orchestra and Afro-Caribbean Jazz
Octet—in this high-octane retrospective,
honoring his half century of music.
May 27 Prohibition and the Jazz Age
Prohibition was intended to stifle vice—but
instead, it nourished clubs run by organized
crime and created a hot bed for jazz—where
“the parties were bigger . . . the pace was
faster . . . and the morals were looser” (F.
Scott Fitzgerald). Ken Burns joins host
Wendell Pierce to bring us the sound of the
speakeasies. Bix Beiderbecke, Louis
Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton and James P.
Johnson are on the menu as Doug Wamble
and Vince Giordano join the Jazz at Lincoln
Center Orchestra.
June 3 Soul Jazz of the Sixties
In the nineteen sixties—as rock music
www.wbgo.org
was changing the pop world, saxophonist
Cannonball Adderley, pianist Horace Silver
and drummer Art Blakey drew bebop, rhythm
and blues and gospel into a powerful smallgroup sound. Alto saxophonist Wess
‘Warmdaddy’ Anderson and drummer Kenny
Washington lead inspired sets in tribute to
their soulful predecessors.
June 10 Gillespie and Puente
The vibrant sound of Latin jazz is rooted in
the musical heritage of Dizzy Gillespie and
‘The Mambo King’ Tito Puente. Bassist Carlos
Henriquez leads the Jazz at Lincoln Center
Orchestra with conguero Giovanni Hidalgo
and drummer Ignacio Berroa. Selections
include “Manteca,” “Ran Kan Kan,” “Oye
Como Va” and more.
June 17 God’s Trombones
“The trombone comes the closest to the
human voice with its bent pitches, scoops
and smears, and that very human quality
is evident in everything that (James Weldon)
Johnson wrote,” says Jazz at Lincoln Center
Orchestra trombonist Chris Crenshaw.
Crenshaw draws on his gospel roots to
connect secular music to poetry in this
sprawling suite based on the James Weldon
Johnson poem.
June 24 Monty Alexander:
Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra
At first blush, this Jamaican pianist seems
an unlikely leader to honor a “king” and a
“chairman of the board.” But Monty
Alexander discovered jazz at a Nat King
Cole concert and played his first New York
gig at Sinatra’s old haunt called ‘Jilly’s’.
Alexander offers fresh, inventive readings on
“Sweet Lorraine,” “Come Fly with Me” and
more—with vocalists James DeFrances and
Allan Harris.
