“This new recording is just extraordinary. It’s so engaging,” saxophonist David Sanborn says of Mélusine, the new album from Cécile McLorin Salvant, the guest on his new WBGO podcast, As We Speak. “I think the gravitational pull of the way you ordered the music and how you paced it was really powerful,” he tells Salvant. “And then when I read the story of Mélusine and how that was the organizing principle for all of it, it made it even more astounding to me … Just brilliant.” You can hear their conversation here.

A little late with this obituary, but Hawaiian jazz sax player and flautist Gabe Baltazar Junior passed away June 12th, 2022, aged 92.

He played the iconic flute solo in American Trilogy during the Aloha From Hawaii satellite concert, first broadcast in January 1973. It's hard to imagine a soloist being under more pressure for a few moments of air time. The result was probably as perfect as an ensemble performance can be, with Gabe Baltazar's part no exception. It's interesting that in the rehearsal concert, he made a slight mistake, but for the broadcast hit every note perfectly. He featured in a prominent closeup during his solo.

A Korean War veteran, he had previously played with the Stan Kenton Orchestra, appearing on 17 LPs, and worked as a session musician at NBC in Los Angeles, backing Pat Boone, Phyllis Diller, Johnny Carson, Smothers Brothers and Glen Campbell amongst many others. He returned to Hawaii as assistant director of the Royal Hawaiian Band in 1969.

According to his obituary from WBGO:

"...Declining health removed Baltazar from active circulation within the last decade. Five years ago, he was already in a long-term care hospital, the Wahiawa General Hospital. He was playing flute for people coming in, to provide entertainment. They had a piano there, so he was playing the piano, too. He really loved to play, until he just couldn’t blow anymore..."

The WBGO Kids Jazz Concert Series brings world-renowned jazz musicians to concert halls and venues throughout New York and New Jersey. These concerts give young listeners the chance to discover the enjoyment of jazz, improvisation and musical collaboration.

At this concert, GRAMMY® nominated Cuban jazz pianist Elio Villafranca performs “Standing by the Crossroads” with his quartet. This piece speaks about his life, growing up in the small town of San Luis, Pinar del Rio, surrounded by Congolese drums, educated in Russian classical music, while falling in love with jazz. With a relaxed, kid-friendly atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to introduce your child (or your whole family) to the art of jazz.

“It’s brilliant,” WBGO's Doug Doyle says of his guest Natalie Merchant’s new album, Keep Your Courage. “Tremendous songwriting, melodies, arrangements … These songs are powerful and beautiful.” Merchant spoke with Doyle about the album ahead of her June 25 concert at NJPAC with Orchestra of St. Luke's as part of the North 2 Shore festival.

“Being asked to recommend ONE track by Chick Corea, with whom I share a birthday, is a difficult task. After much consideration, my pick is the title track of his 1968 album, Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. Though not the first Chick recording that I heard (Light as a Feather gets that distinction), this trio recording with Miroslav Vitous (bass) and Roy Haynes (drums) is sublime. The interplay between those three is incredible; Roy glides across his drums while Miroslav walks his bass. One of the greatest trio recordings, this tune always puts me in a good mood. – Sheila Anderson, Host, Weekend Jazz Overnight and Salon Sessions, WBGO”

Watch: Nite Bjuti Mood (Liberation Walk)

Candice Hoyes, Val Jeanty and Mimi Jones are Nite Bjuti. They are an Afro-Caribbean Brooklyn-based trio having chosen their name from Haitian folklore called "Night Beauty" about a girl who sings for justice in the afterlife. Their debut in 2018 at Jazz at Lincoln Center to celebrate International Women's Day was followed by performances at the NYC Winter Jazzfest, Nublu Jazz Fest, WBGO and The Schomberg. Today they share their first single "Mood (Liberation Walk)." The avant-garde musing flips the "Miss Mary Mack" nursery rhyme into a slightly eerie modern fusion.  Hoyes questions false feelings of freedom as Jeanty's drumsticks click like a bondage chain. The visuals are a montage of them taking the walk, jump-roping and performing as they are seen through a psychedelic filter. Some scholars have pegged the rhyme as originating from a game created by slave children. Hoyes explained the imagery of them jump-roping in a statement:

"What good is freedom if you don’t really feel free? Black girlhood maturation brings a range of evocative contradictory experiences. In 'Mood (Liberation Walk)' we express the sudden sensation of a girl jumping/jumped into puberty, roped into a new emotional reality, physicality and societal positionality. As explored in the music video, she jumps through the portals of her own design right until the foreboding street lights flicker. Jumping is tied to shared childhood experiences, embodies connectivity and the chasmic leaps of growth in the Black womanly experience."

Watch Nite Bjuti's Afrofuturist breakdown of contemporary questions of Black freedom in "Mood (Liberation Walk)."  The trio are currently working on their full-length album after becoming recipients of the 2020  NYC Women's Fund In Jazz.
