SUMMARY:Don Braden’s EARTH WIND & WONDER in SOPAC Jazz in the Loft
DESCRIPTION:As a young man growing up in Louisville\, Kentucky in the 1970s\, Don Braden discovered the music of both Earth\, Wind and Fire and Stevie Wonder.  It immediately captured his heart\, mind\, and soul. The esteemed saxophonist explains that “the messages within their music built around core themes such as strength\, love\, and joy\, are imbued with African American spirit\, and yet embody a wide variety of human emotions and experience.  They are delivered with power\, artistry\, and elegance via memorable and singable melodies\, rich harmonies\, compelling lyrics\, infectious grooves\, outstanding arrangements\, and superb performances.”  While Braden’s career grew in  the direction of straight-ahead Jazz\, he continued to listen to and study the music of his early musical heroes.  His show “Earth Wind and Wonder” is Braden’s tribute to these beloved\, influential Jazz artists.

SUMMARY:Yardbird Entertainment Jam featuring Duane Eubanks
DESCRIPTION:Yardbird Jam Sessions are a deviation from your normal jam sessions here at Clement’s Place! This month\, we’re featuring Duane Eubanks!Yardbird Jam Sessions are a deviation from your normal jam sessions! We encourage jazz musicians to learn new tunes\, engage with the audience\, and to respect the bandstand. If you’re looking for a challenge\, this is it! We have a sign-up sheet as well as some suggested tunes and guidelines. Read more below before attending! \n\n\n\nFeaturing: \n\n\n\nDuane Eubanks Quartet \n\n\n\nDuane Eubanks – trumpet \n\n\n\nMike Bond – piano \n\n\n\nRyan Berg – bass \n\n\n\nChris Beck – drums \n\n\n\nAbout Duane Eubanks: \n\n\n\nDuane Eubanks simmers. Percolates. The jazz trumpeter/ composer/arranger/producer is a multi-talented force whose fiery blasts and sweet distinctive sound carry his horn into a musical space that defies categorization. There’s a gritty soul and passion that emphatically captures his Philadelphia roots on his most recent pair of albums as a bandleader: “Things of that Particular Nature” (2015-Sunnyside) and “DE3-Live at Maxwell’s (2016-Sunnyside). \n\n\n\n“Duane is one of my all-time favorite brass men. One of the most honest musicians I’ve come across. He plays from the heart\, coming from such a rich musical family tree.” Roy Hargrove – Grammy Award winning trumpeter. \n\n\n\nDuane studied jazz in master classes at Temple University with the legendary Dr. Billy Taylor. He cut to the chase and headed to New York. He was tapped by the great pianist Mulgrew Miller to join his ensemble\, Wingspan. Acclaimed double-bassist/bandleader Dave Holland invited Duane to play with his big band on a pair of Grammy award winning albums. Eubanks became a hotly sought-after horn. He recorded and played with Elvin Jones\, John Hicks\, Curtis Fuller\, Louis Hayes\, Randy Brecker\, Avery Sharpe and Nicholas Payton. \n\n\n\nJazz is his turf. His bloodline. That bloodline began with his mother\, pianist Vera Eubanks. She was the illustrious Kenny Barron’s first piano teacher. His brothers are celebrated trombonist Robin Eubanks and guitarist Kevin Eubanks\, the former leader of the “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” band. Legendary pianist Ray Bryant is his uncle. \n\n\n\nYet\, his jazz bloodline isn’t a border\, but a gateway where he crossed over to play and record with Alicia Keys\, Talib Kweli\, Mos Def\, Wu-Tang Clan\, Freedom Williams\, and Kirk Franklin. He has played the Hollywood Bowl\, Carnegie Hall\, and the Kennedy Center as well as toured throughout Europe\, Japan\, and the Middle-East. \n\n\n\n“I Love Duane’s playing! He means those notes. You hear that BADD Philly Legacy! Proudly all up in there!” \n\n\n\nWallace Roney – Grammy Award winning trumpeter. \n\n\n\nThe Philadelphia sound. Home to Lee Morgan\, Clifford Brown. That’s where it all began for Duane. He began playing trumpet at 11 but didn’t consider music as a career until college. While studying for a business degree at the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore\, Duane joined the university’s jazz band. He became a prominent brass component and jump started himself into opportunities to play with jazz VIPs Stanley Turrentine\, Shirley Scott\, Charles Fambrough and Clark Terry. \n\n\n\nHe performed admirably in master classes with Wynton Marsalis. Two years of private lessons with famed trumpeter Johnny Coles began Duane’s parallel interest in jazz as both a musician and educator. His first recording as a trumpeter came on brother Robin’s deft trombone session: “4: JJ/Slide\, Curtis & Al”. Duane’s pungent sound and impassioned playing led to his own acclaimed debut\, “My Shining Hour” (1999)\, followed up by “Second Take” two years later. \n\n\n\n“Duane Eubanks as a trumpeter and composer has gone deep into the history of the music of his people. He has kept his shine on his instrument through the years. Duane got Soul!!” Grammy-nominated pianist Marc Cary. \n\n\n\nHe is a recipient of the 2013 Philadelphia Education Fund EDDY Award. Jazz education is a large focus for Duane when he’s not performing or touring. Private lessons from him is a way to mentor and inspire young musicians. \n\n\n\nJam Tunes (try to learn these before coming to the jam!): \n\n\n\nSolarStablematesLittle Willie LeapsThere Is No Greater LoveJeannineMy Shining HourAlong Came BettyYou and the Night and the MusicMinorityIn Your Own Sweet WayI’ve Never Been in Love BeforeLover Man (vocal)How High the Moon (vocal)  \n\n\n\nSee less \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTwo successful freelancing jazz musicians and educators decided to combine their resources and over 10 years of expertise to create one of the leading jazz entertainment companies. Saxophonist Abel Mireles and trombonist Peter Lin formed Yardbird Entertainment to help bridge the gap between the new jazz audience and the young professional artists. Through performance\, education\, and opportunities\, we hope to cultivate a modern world that respects and honors jazz culture.

The opening shuffle ‘Don’t Let Me Wait’ was a hit for Major Harris\, a founder member of the Philly Soul group The Delfonics\, in 1975. And the swinging up-tempo closer covers Don Patterson’s ‘Sister Ruth’\, a memento of the gigs Ektor’s father took him to as a youth. \n\n\n\nIn between\, a well-programmed balance of covers and originals namecheck musical influences and family ties. Benny Carter’s ‘The Courtship’ hints at samba and rekindles memories of Ector’s parents dancing at home and the moody ‘To Wisdom the Prince’ is dedicated to its composer\, pianist Larry Willis\, who died last year. \n\n\n\nEktor’s well-worked originals are equally in style. ‘Dex Blues’\, dedicated to his sister\, is a mid-60s Blue Note blues in an awkward key; the up-tempo title track\, dedicated to Ector’s mother Ms Pat\, switches from samba to swing and ‘Renewal Revisited’\, first recorded with saxophonist Bobby Watson in 2008\, features funky wah-wah guitar. \n\n\n\nEctor has extensive credits in soulful mainstream jazz and his band captures the earthy intelligence of its lounge-bar roots. Long-standing member Bruce Williams is a ringer for Lou Donaldson on alto sax\, soulful on soprano and spins lines with ease; while organist Pat Bianchi makes his Hammond B3 sing. And guesting on guitar\, the experienced Paul Hollenbeck adds grit\, muscle and panache. Solid album\, nicely done.
