DESCRIPTION:REDCAT at Disney Hall\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors at 7:30pm8:00pm – For Living LoversBrandon Ross – acoustic guitarStomu Takeishi – acoustic bass guitar \n\n\n\n9:15 pm –  Rudresh Mahanthappa Hero Trio  \n\n\n\nRudresh Mahanthappa – alto saxophoneFrançois Moutin – acoustic bassTim Angulo – drums \n\n\n\n\n\nOver the course of an illustrious twenty-five-year career\, Rudresh Mahanthappa’s music making has constantly pushed at the artistic boundaries to encompass such diverse influences as classic bebop\, the flash and fury of electric fusion\, and the complexities of Carnatic music\, while always maintaining a clear sense of his own fiercely intelligent\, uncompromising musical personality. \n\n\n\n\n““Rudresh is definitely one of the strongest voices on the jazz scene.” \n– All Music\n\n\n\nFor Living Lovers is the acoustic duo of guitarist Brandon Ross and acoustic bass guitarist Stomu Takeishi. Founded in 2002\, the duo developed while Ross and Takeishi were members of visionary\, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Henry Threadgill’s quintet\, “Make A Move”. \n\n\n\n\n“… Ross and Takeishi create tandem waves of sound that mimic a sitar one moment and a Tibetan singing bowl the next.” \n– Downbeat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRudresh Mahanthappa\n\n\n\nHailed by Pitchfork as “jaw-dropping… one of the finest saxophonists going\,” alto saxophonist\, composer\, and educator Rudresh Mahanthappa is widely known as one of the premier voices in jazz of the 21st century. \n\n\n\nHe has over a dozen albums to his credit\, including the acclaimed Bird Calls\, which topped many critics’ best-of-year lists for 2015 and was hailed by PopMatters as “complex\, rhythmically vital\, free in spirit while still criss-crossed with mutating structures.” His most recent release\, Hero Trio\, was considered to be one of the best jazz albums of 2020 by critics and fans alike. \n\n\n\nRudresh has been named alto saxophonist of the year for nine of the last eleven years running in DownBeat Magazine’s International Critics’ Polls (2011-2013\, 2015-2018\, 2020-1)\, and for five consecutive years by the Jazz Journalists’ Association (2009-2013) and again in 2016. \n\n\n\nHe won alto saxophonist of the year in the 2015-2018 & 2020 JazzTimes Magazine Critics’ Polls and was named the Village Voice’s “Best Jazz Artist” in 2015. \n\n\n\nHe has also received the Guggenheim Fellowship and the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award\, among other honors\, and is currently the Anthony H. P. Lee ’79 Director of Jazz at Princeton University. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.rudreshm.com/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrandon Ross\n\n\n\nAs a performing and recording artist\, guitarist and composer Brandon Ross has worked and collaborated with several innovative voices in modern music such as Henry Threadgill\, Wadada Leo Smith\, Cassandra Wilson\, Jewel\, Tony Williams\, Lizz Wright\, Arto Lindsay\, The Lounge Lizards\, Leroy Jenkins\, Oliver Lake\, Lawrence D. “Butch” Morris\, Bill Frisell\, Me’Shell N’degeocello\, Arrested Development\, Archie Shepp\, Muhal Richard Abrams\, Don Byron\, Ron Miles\, and many others. \n\n\n\nRoss leads For Living Lovers\, his Chamber Music for Improvisors acoustic duo with acoustic bass guitarist Stomu Takeishi. The duo’s debut album Revealing Essence was released to critical acclaim\, and as a recipient of Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works grant\, Ross was commissioned to compose the duo’s new work titled Immortal Obsolescence. \n\n\n\nRoss co-leads the avant power trio\, Harriet Tubman\, (with bassist Melvin Gibbs\, and drummer JT Lewis)\, using electronics and pan-tonality to sculpt a multidimensional\, interactive\, sonic language in a classic R&B/Rock configuration of guitar\, bass\, and drums. \n\n\n\nIn his acoustic-based quartet\, Blazing Beauty\, Ross plays banjo\, electric\, acoustic\, and soprano guitars to extend his expressive range into “folk” oriented musics and compositional approaches that communicate his dedication to fresh musical experience. He has released two albums with Blazing Beauty\, Costume (2004) and Puppet (2006) on the Japanese label Intoxicate Records. Both garnered rave reviews\, and appearances on several Japanese critics’ “best of the year” lists. \n\n\n\nDescribed as “restlessly inventive” (Time Out New York)\, Ross explores various forms of expression in collaborations with artists that inspire him. In AiR with mezzo soprano Alicia Hall Moran\, Ross recasts Roland Hayes’ Aframerican spirituals through contemporary electric guitar vernacular; in DarkMatterHalo\, a ‘Glyph’ electronic music collective\, Ross investigates the current state and use of “exo-technology” with regard to sound production; in Pendulum\, Ross incorporates sound design to expand sonic and textural possibilities beyond the voice of a single instrument; and in Phantom Station Ross establishes a creative music context that hosts a revolving personnel and open musical direction dedicated to collective improvised music making and compositional interpretation. \n\n\n\nRoss has been previously commissioned by the ASCAP Foundation\, New York State Council of the Arts (NYSCA)\, and is a recipient of Rockefeller Foundation’s MAP Grant and Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works grant. He is a current ASCAP writer and publisher member. \n\n\n\nRoss’ teaching credits include Banff Summer Institute of Jazz and Creative Music\, Princeton University’s Graduate Program in Composition\, Artez Conservatorium of Arnhem (Netherlands)\, and Koninklijk Conservatorium\, Antwerp (Belgium). \n\n\n\nhttps://www.brandonross.nyc/

Genre distinctions are meaningless\, unusual combinations of instruments are a hallmark\, and sources of inspiration are as numerous as the stars. \n\n\n\nHis expansive and explosive new album Coordinates is a multi-faceted exploration of self through the lenses of found numerical patterns\, cosmic temporal imagination\, orchestrational possibility\, and true friendship. It spans the stylistic universe from progressive jazz to metal\, world\, symphonic\, and chamber music sensibilities and features an extended cast of virtuoso musicians from the Los Angeles jazz scene and Hollywood film recording studios. \n\n\n\n\n““Rosenboom at his toughest and most colorful\, busting the walls to find grandeur in the collapse of modernity and opening cracks into the corners of the soul.” \n– Greg Burk\, metaljazz.com\n\n\n\nAlto saxophonist Devin Daniels stands out as one of the most unique and versatile voices to emerge from LA’s rapidly evolving creative music landscape. The Inglewood native has the unique ability to fit into any musical situation without sacrificing the integrity of his individual voice. For this special concert Devin will be premiering a new composition commissioned by the Los Angeles Jazz Society’s Jeff Clayton Memorial New Note Award. \n\n\n\n\n“Devin Daniels is a musician from whom we can expect big things” \n– All About Jazz\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDan Rosenboom\n\n\n\nDan Rosenboom is an internationally recognized trumpet player\, composer\, and producer. He is known as a prolific member of the Los Angeles creative music scene\, having released more than 25 albums of original music as a solo artist and bandleader and has supported over 60 artists across over 100 releases on his label\, Orenda Records.  \n\n\n\nRosenboom is a proud member of the Hollywood studio musician community and has recorded for over 200 major film and television soundtracks with such notable composers as John Williams\, Danny Elfman\, James Newton Howard\, Alan Silvestri\, Alexandre Desplat\, and many more. He has also performed with such elite ensembles as the LA Philharmonic\, the LA Chamber Orchestra\, and the LA Opera. \n\n\n\nHis own music eschews genre distinctions and draws from such disparate influences as Black American Music\, metal and experimental rock\, contemporary classical music\, folk music from the Balkans\, and a broad range of progressive music from the avant-garde. \n\n\n\nHe studied at the Eastman School of Music\, CalArts\, and UCLA\, where he earned advanced degrees in music. The Los Angeles Times has called Dan Rosenboom “a musician dedicated to exploration and expression\, regardless of anyone’s imagined boundaries\,” and “a phenomenon.”https://danrosenboom.com/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDevin Daniels\n\n\n\nAlto saxophonist Devin Daniels has the unique ability to fit into any musical situation without sacrificing the integrity of his individual voice. That\, combined with his warm and thoughtful personality\, is why Daniels has been invited to perform with bands led by Gerald Clayton\, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson\, John Beasley\, Sam Barsh and Jamael Dean. \n\n\n\nIn 2023\, the great Herbie Hancock invited Devin to join him alongside jazz legends Ron Carter\, Jack DeJohnette\, Terence Blanchard\, Chris Potter and LA-royalty\, Kamasi Washington in a performance at the Hollywood Bowl honoring the late iconic saxophonist\, Wayne Shorter. Following this performance\, Hancock invited Daniels to join his band again\, this time for a month-long US tour in the Spring of 2024. \n\n\n\nDaniels’ love for the saxophone started in the “Just Lovin’ Music Studios” program\, led by pianist Michelle Love— a free program designed to give students of color a chance to rent out and learn a new instrument. It was attending programs like this one that helped Daniels earn full-scholarships to study at some of the world’s most prestigious music schools: Berklee College of Music\, FocusYear Basel and the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz Studies at UCLA. \n\n\n\nFollowing his time at the Hancock Institute\, Daniels was selected to be the Herb Alpert Foundation’s 2024 “Make Jazz Fellow”\, where he was commissioned to compose a range of new music over the course of three months\, much of which became the foundation for his newest album\, LesGo!. \n\n\n\nRecorded live at LA’s westside jazz club\, Sam First\, LesGo! captures the raw\, unadulterated energy that’s been brewing in LA’s jazz scene over the past 15+ years. Joining him on this recording are four of Daniels’ exceptionally talented LA-based cohorts – trumpeter Julien Knowles\, pianist Chris Fishman\, bassist Jermaine Paul and drummer Benjamin Ring. \n\n\n\nDaniels’ 2022 release Trio Exposition on The Village Records features Daniels in a trio format alongside drummer Christian Euman and bassist Logan Kane\, giving the three musicians space to fully explore and push each other. \n\n\n\nDaniels also produces electronic music in his downtime and has released an album on the Los Angeles-based record label\, Leaving Records\, under the name Kara-Do\, joining a catalog with the likes of Knxwledge\, Keifer\, and Carlos Niño. His electronic music has been described as “… fusion at its finest\, beat music and jazz moving forward in lockstep.”

SUMMARY:Todd Cochran Trio TC3 with Bennie Maupin + Billy Mohler Quartet's ULTRAVIOLET CD Release Party
DESCRIPTION:REDCAT at Disney Hall\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketsSubmitting form\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFirst Set: Billy Mohler Quartet ‘s ULTRAVIOLET CD Release PartyBilly Mohler – bassMark Turner – tenor saxShane Endsley – trumpetJonathan Pinson – drums \n\n\n\nSecond Set: Todd Cochran Trio TC3 with Special Guest Bennie MaupinTodd Cochran – pianoJohn Leftwich – bassLyndon Rochelle – drumsSpecial Guest:Bennie Maupin – flute/clarinets \n\n\n\nPianist and composer Todd Cochran sees jazz as a profoundly communicative musical expression. Rooted in tradition\, robustly universal\, and inclusive\, his art provides an attractive meeting ground where viewpoints freely interact. In performance\, his acoustic trio\, TC3\, joined with a special guest appearance by Bennie Maupin\, explores a nuanced\, poetic musical language that engages an audience in an energizing creative dialogue about the crescendos of uncharted change in the world. Cochran’s music embraces the canon and is enlarged through the lens of contemporary culture\, critical social concerns\, and the need for new ideas in these times of overlapping anxieties. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Cochran is historically grounded\, extravagantly pianistic\, and instinctively lyrical. His sense of style is so personal and deep it becomes art in itself.” \nTom Conrad\, Stereophine\n\n\n\n\n“Then Again\, Here and Now isn’t just a collection of tracks meant to reintroduce Cochran to the jazz audience – it’s a narrative arc telling the story of the music that inspired Cochran to become the artist he is.”  \nMichael Toland – The Big Takeover\n\n\n\n\n“Mohler creates jazz music that\, despite the seriousness and sincerity of the craft\, manages to remain engaging and–yes–fun.”  \nDownbeat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTodd Cochran\n\n\n\nThe more avenues an artist can draw upon the more original their music will tend to sound. With years devoted to classical music study followed by the tutelage of American jazz masters\, pianist and composer Todd Cochran’s music reflects a wide-ranging musical palette. In his art he has continued to build upon this foundation\, incorporating diverse musical influences from the traditions of African and Asian diaspora\, global pop\, and contemporary art music culture. Todd’s happenstance was to grow up in San Francisco during the civil rights era\, a transformational time in America’s story. The city was multi-dimensional and the echoes of being a child of the cultural revolution have never left him. \n\n\n\nTodd’s work as a pianist\, composer and electronic musician has significantly influenced others.

SUMMARY:Marquis Hill + John Escreet’s Seismic Shift
DESCRIPTION:REDCAT at Disney Hall\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy TicketsSubmitting form\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8:00pm – Marquis Hill Marquis Hill – TrumpetJahari Stampley – KeysJoshua Griffin – BassJeremiah Collier – Drums \n\n\n\n\n\n9:15pm – John Escreet’s Seismic Shift CD Release PartyJohn Escreet – pianoEric Revis – bassDamion Reid – drums \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarquis Hill\n\n\n\nFrom his beginnings as one of Chicago’s most thrilling young trumpeters\, to his current status as an internationally renowned musician\, composer and bandleader\, Marquis Hill has worked tirelessly to break down the barriers that divide musical genres. Contemporary and classic jazz\, hip-hop\, R&B\, Chicago house\, neo-soul—to Hill\, they’re all essential elements of the profound African-American creative heritage he’s a part of. “It all comes from the same tree\,” he says. “They simply blossomed from different branches.”Born in Chicago in 1987 and raised on the city’s culturally rich South Side\, Hill began playing drums at age 4\, before switching to trumpet in the 6th grade. He attended high school at Kenwood Academy\, excelling in its revered jazz-performance program\, and was mentored by Bobby Broom\, Willie Pickens\, Tito Carrillo and other Chicago greats through the Ravinia Jazz Scholars program. Hill earned his bachelor’s in music education from Northern Illinois University and his master’s in jazz pedagogy from DePaul University. During college he made gigs and sessions around Chicago\, jamming with and absorbing wisdom from the likes of Fred Anderson\, Ernest Dawkins and Von Freeman. Even then\, Hill was known in town as a stunningly gifted trumpeter with a soulful\, highly textured tone. His sound is now somehow both deeply distinctive and a tour through jazz-trumpet history\, evoking the high-drama stillness and space of Miles; the undeniable virtuosity of Clifford Brown and Freddie Hubbard; the groove- savvy phrasing of Lee Morgan and Donald Byrd; and much more.https://www.marquishill.com/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Escreet\n\n\n\nOver the course of his career\, John Escreet has earned a reputation as one of the most active and diverse pianist/composers working in jazz and improvised music. His prolificoutput is reflected over the course of 8 diverse and critically acclaimed albums. \n\n\n\nBursting on to the scene with his 2008 debut album Consequences\, Escreet quickly earned a reputation as one of the most exciting new pianist/composers to have emerged in recent years\, with Downbeat magazine proclaiming “John Escreet’s recent debut Consequences signals the jumpstart of a new voice in jazz.”” Similar praise followed for his 2010 sophomore release Don’t Fight The Inevitable\, of which the New York Times’ Ben Ratliff said “… on an ambitious second album\, the pianist John Escreet seems to be thinking about where jazz can go next. He’s using lots of structure and instrumental texture\, cruising through different languages\, straight-ahead and free and in between; it’s like a tour of the last 25 years of serious jazz.””https://www.johnescreet.com/

SUMMARY:Mark Dresser 5 + Jeremy Ledbetter Trio
DESCRIPTION:REDCAT at Disney Hall\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8pm – Mark Dresser 5  \n\n\n\nChris Speed – clarinet and tenorMichael Dessen – trombone Joshua White – pianoMark Ferber – drumsMark Dresser – bass and composition \n\n\n\n\n\n9:30pm – Jeremy Ledbetter Trio \n\n\n\nRich Brown – bassSarah Thawer – drumsJeremy Ledbetter -piano \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMark Dresser \n\n\n\nThe act of playing the bass is home. It is the primal and primary vehicle of my musical identity. After several solo CDs that explore the musical investigation of extended techniques and electro-acoustic performance through structured improvisation and composition\, my quintet music has a somewhat different agenda. The music for this evening is centered around a personal approach to the jazz tradition and song form: beauty of melody\, counterpoint and harmony\, swing\, rhythmic invention and cyclical form. In addition I seek to integrate timbre sculpting\, metric modulation\, free meter and gradience\, i.e. the blurring of boundaries between pitch and noise\, meter and texture\, form and feeling. Above all is the collaborative and improvisational power of the band that ultimately shapes the music. – Mark Dresser \n\n\n\nMark Dresser is a Grammy nominated\, internationally renowned bass player\, improviser\, and composer. At the core of his music is an obsession and commitment to expanding the sonic\, musical\, and expressive possibilities of the contrabass. He has recorded over one hundred-fifty CDs including ten CDs as composer/bandleader\, five solo recordings and a DVD and his most recent solo LP Modicana (2017).  From 1985 to 1994\, he was a member of Anthony Braxton’s Quartet. He has also performed and recorded music of Ray Anderson\, Jane Ira Bloom\, Tim Berne\, Anthony Davis\, Dave Douglas\, Osvaldo Golijov\, Gerry Hemingway\, Lei Liang\, Bob Ostertag\, Joe Lovano\, Roger Reynolds\, Henry Threadgill\, Dawn Upshaw\, John Zorn. Since 2007 he has been deeply involved in telematic music performance and education. He was awarded a 2015 & 2018 Shifting Foundation Award and 2015 Doris Duke Impact Award. He is Distinguished Professor of Music at University of California\, San Diego. \n\n\n\nwww.mark-dresser.com   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJeremy Ledbetter Trio\n\n\n\nForged in a cauldron of raging\, inspiring contemporary jazz\, the Jeremy Ledbetter Trio pushes the boundaries of jazz and world music\, providing an undiluted display of rampaging energy and captivating musicianship. Audiences must exercise caution. People who see this band are rarely the same again. If the Jeremy Ledbetter Trio were an inanimate object it would be a runaway train. \n\n\n\nJeremy Ledbetter has been creating genre-bending original music since forming the Caribbean Latin jazz outfit CaneFire in 2004. Since then\, he has worked closely with an international array of artists that includes David Rudder\, Eliana Cuevas\, the Larnell Lewis Band\, Aquiles Baez\, Alexis Baro\, OKAN\, Rinse the Algorithm\, Patricia Cano\, and more. \n\n\n\nThe Jeremy Ledbetter Trio sees Jeremy joined by Juno award nominee Sarah Thawer and renowned electric bassist Rich Brown\, who offer the perfect counterpart to Ledbetter’s iconoclastic energy at the piano. The Trio’s debut album “Got a Light?”\, released in 2018\, has been described as “a controlled explosion of big ideas and compelling musical storytelling”. \n\n\n\nhttp://www.jeremyledbetter.com
