Douyé brings her less-is-more sensibility to dramatic standards like “Lush Life,” “Autumn Leaves” “I Loves You Porgy,” but doesn’t change the way we hear these familiar tunes (a tall order, given how often they’ve been interpreted by jazz’s greatest artists).

But you also might not expect something so pleasurable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having taken the Nite Jewel nom-de-music while still an undergrad at Occidental College more than a decade ago, she’s long sought a balance between heavy and light, between art and pop in her songs and videos. Heck, she had a 2011 song asking the ultimate philosophy question, “Am I Real?” posed in bubbly electro-pop and accompanied by a dreamscape video befitting someone who has done multimedia installations. And she has collaborated with always-arty Angeleno musician Julia Holter in the combined guise of Jewelia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with her new album, “Real High,” she’s given herself over to the pure joys -- and sorrows -- of love in the sensual realm, not the philosophical one, and is inviting us to join her in that pursuit. That invitation comes in the delightful form of understated, silky-smooth soul-pop, her lovely voice set in spare, deftly crafted electronics made by her and her producer/husband Cole M.G.N., who has worked with Beck, Snoop Dogg and many others. And yet, throughout the album there’s a smartness, and artfulness, at every turn. It almost seems, in the title of another highlight from the album, “2 Good 2 Be True.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDeiQvoCT_A\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As that title’s spelling might tip off, there’s a strong grounding here in the music of the early ‘80s. You could easily imagine the silky-smooth, understated sounds of almost anything here slotted alongside, oh, a Madonna song on MTV late night circa 1983, or used as a cool-down track in the hands of a savvy club deejay around that same time. It’s not a big shift -- she’s cited Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey among her influences. But there’s both a dreaminess and maturity in these tracks that break away from any nostalgia.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Derrick Anderson\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11428558\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/Derrick-Anderson-Press-Photo-by-W.-Scott-Prestwood-800x640.jpg\" alt=\"Derrick Anderson Press Photo by W.

If you’ve had the great pleasure of being at any of the shows done in the L.A. area by the Wild Honey organizations — all-star full-album benefit tributes to the Beatles, Big Star, the Band and so on — you’ve seen Anderson anchoring the house band as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So then you won’t be too surprised to hear that his solo album, the first after a long career primarily as a sideman, is a full-on blast of power-pop glory. Or maybe you didn’t notice him. He tends to be a quiet guy, stays out of the spotlight, just gets the job done.

This is not jazz per se, nor is it really hip-hop, though it involves elements of both.

But you also might not expect something so pleasurable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having taken the Nite Jewel nom-de-music while still an undergrad at Occidental College more than a decade ago, she’s long sought a balance between heavy and light, between art and pop in her songs and videos. Heck, she had a 2011 song asking the ultimate philosophy question, “Am I Real?” posed in bubbly electro-pop and accompanied by a dreamscape video befitting someone who has done multimedia installations. And she has collaborated with always-arty Angeleno musician Julia Holter in the combined guise of Jewelia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with her new album, “Real High,” she’s given herself over to the pure joys -- and sorrows -- of love in the sensual realm, not the philosophical one, and is inviting us to join her in that pursuit. That invitation comes in the delightful form of understated, silky-smooth soul-pop, her lovely voice set in spare, deftly crafted electronics made by her and her producer/husband Cole M.G.N., who has worked with Beck, Snoop Dogg and many others. And yet, throughout the album there’s a smartness, and artfulness, at every turn. It almost seems, in the title of another highlight from the album, “2 Good 2 Be True.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/rDeiQvoCT_A'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/rDeiQvoCT_A'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>As that title’s spelling might tip off, there’s a strong grounding here in the music of the early ‘80s. You could easily imagine the silky-smooth, understated sounds of almost anything here slotted alongside, oh, a Madonna song on MTV late night circa 1983, or used as a cool-down track in the hands of a savvy club deejay around that same time. It’s not a big shift -- she’s cited Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey among her influences. But there’s both a dreaminess and maturity in these tracks that break away from any nostalgia.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Derrick Anderson\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11428558\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/Derrick-Anderson-Press-Photo-by-W.-Scott-Prestwood-800x640.jpg\" alt=\"Derrick Anderson Press Photo by W.

These tunes aren’t covers the way we think of a pop or rock band playing another act’s song. Each one bears the imprint of Masters’ mind. Part of what makes him such an invaluable interpreter is his keen ear for overlooked treasures, like his compressed version of Mingus’ ecstatic salute “So Long Eric,” and Mulligan’s elegant tribute to Charlie Parker “Birds of a Feather,” (a piece from a 1958 Gene Krupa album).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>SFJAZZ Collective\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11407673\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-800x800.jpeg\" alt=\"SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-800x800.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-160x160.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-1020x1020.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-1920x1920.jpeg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-1180x1180.jpeg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-960x960.jpeg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-240x240.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-375x375.jpeg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-520x520.jpeg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-32x32.jpeg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-50x50.jpeg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-64x64.jpeg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-96x96.jpeg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-128x128.jpeg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where the Mark Masters Ensemble reflects the vision of one man, the \u003ca href=\"https://sfjazz.org/sfjazzcollective\">SFJAZZ Collective\u003c/a> is a group that’s thrived by sharing responsibilities. An all-star eight-piece band that’s run by the Bay Area jazz organization SFJAZZ, the collective chooses a composer every year, and each member arranges a tune by that artist (past seasons have explored the music of composers such as McCoy Tyner, Horace Silver, Stevie Wonder, and John Coltrane). Every player is also commissioned to write an original piece for the ensemble, and each year the organization releases a live album documenting some of those pieces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the 2016 season the collective focused on the music of Miles Davis, and the new double album, \u003cem>The Music of Miles Davis and Original Compositions, \u003c/em> features one disc of the trumpeter's music and one disc of original compositions. Following up on 2015’s consistently winning \u003cem>The Music of Michael Jackson and Original Compositions \u003c/em>(which features the same personnel), the new album goes from strength to strength. Some of Davis’ best known pieces get cleverly refurbished, like trumpeter Sean Jones’ atmospheric arrangement of “So What.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis’ electric work is too often overlooked as a source for interesting material, and it’s thrilling to hear how drummer Obed Calvaire fills out the harmonies on the sinewy “Bitches Brew,” a seminal piece of jazz-rock fusion, and trombonist Robin Eubanks' celestial take on “Tutu” (by bassist Marcus Miller). My favorite track is by alto saxophonist Miguel Zenón, the only founding member of the collective still in the fold. In his hands, the mysterious tune “Nardis” sounds like a rave from a Bulgarian wedding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disc of originals is nearly as engaging. High points include tenor saxophonist David Sanchez’s achingly beautiful “Canto,” vibraphonist Warren Wolf’s sassy blues waltz “In the Heat of the Night,” and trumpeter Sean Jones’ tribute to a founding SFJAZZ Collective member, “Hutcherson’s Hug,” a warmly lyrical evocation of vibraphone legend Bobby Hutcherson, who \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/08/16/490226783/bobby-hutcherson-jazz-vibraphone-modernist-has-died\" target=\"_blank\">died last year\u003c/a>. Beautifully recorded at the SFJazz Center’s Minor Auditorium by Jeff Cressman, who also produced the album, the collective’s 12th release makes an indisputable case for the ongoing vitality of this group and the repertory-and-originals concept on which it was founded.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Jazz critic Andrew Gilbert reviews two new releases that recast music from jazz masters.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1492469024,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":14,"wordCount":842},"headData":{"title":"New Releases from SFJAZZ Collective and Mark Masters Offer Fresh Takes on Jazz Giants | KQED","description":"Jazz critic Andrew Gilbert reviews two new releases that recast music from jazz masters.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"New Releases from SFJAZZ Collective and Mark Masters Offer Fresh Takes on Jazz Giants","datePublished":"2017-04-16T23:00:24.000Z","dateModified":"2017-04-17T22:43:44.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"disqusIdentifier":"11407606 https://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=11407606","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/16/new-releases-from-sfjazz-collective-and-mark-masters-offer-fresh-takes-on-jazz-giants/","disqusTitle":"New Releases from SFJAZZ Collective and Mark Masters Offer Fresh Takes on Jazz Giants","audioUrl":"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2017/04/2017-04-14d-tcrmag.mp3","guestFields":"0","path":"/news/11407606/new-releases-from-sfjazz-collective-and-mark-masters-offer-fresh-takes-on-jazz-giants","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>No matter how you slice it, jazz is a tough business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the vast majority of musicians, presenting new music -- whether in concert or via recordings -- requires self-exploitation, particularly if the ensemble features more than a handful of players.

On 2008’s \u003cem>Farewell Walter Dewey Redman, \u003c/em> Masters expanded seven tunes by the tenor saxophone titan \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/04/arts/music/04redman.html\" target=\"_blank\">Dewey Redman\u003c/a> for a 16-piece ensemble featuring a cast of world-class Southern California players and special guests Tim Hagans and alto saxophonist \u003ca href=\"http://oliverlake.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Oliver Lake\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Masters’ new album \u003cem>Blue Skylight,\u003c/em> which focuses on the music of Gerry Mulligan and Charles Mingus, is something of a departure. He’s slimmed the ensemble down to seven pieces, and instead of bringing in several guest stars he showcases his core of estimable L.A. players, like the great alto saxophonist Gary Foster and veteran bassist Putter Smith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As subjects go, it’s an intriguing pairing, with Mulligan, the baritone saxophonist, known for his cool contrapuntal lines and Mingus, the ferocious bassist, associated with volcanic energy. He finds plenty of common ground between them, for instance pairing Mingus’ paean “Duke Ellington’s Sounds of Love” with Mulligan’s love letter to Ellington’s essential collaborator Billy Strayhorn, “Strayhorn 2” (a luscious ballad feature for baritone saxophonist Adam Schroeder).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In jazz, arranging is as much a creative act as composing. These tunes aren’t covers the way we think of a pop or rock band playing another act’s song. Each one bears the imprint of Masters’ mind. Part of what makes him such an invaluable interpreter is his keen ear for overlooked treasures, like his compressed version of Mingus’ ecstatic salute “So Long Eric,” and Mulligan’s elegant tribute to Charlie Parker “Birds of a Feather,” (a piece from a 1958 Gene Krupa album).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>SFJAZZ Collective\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11407673\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-800x800.jpeg\" alt=\"SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-800x800.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-160x160.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-1020x1020.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-1920x1920.jpeg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-1180x1180.jpeg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-960x960.jpeg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-240x240.jpeg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-375x375.jpeg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-520x520.jpeg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-32x32.jpeg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-50x50.jpeg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-64x64.jpeg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-96x96.jpeg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-128x128.jpeg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/SFJAZZ_Miles_3000x3000_RGB-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where the Mark Masters Ensemble reflects the vision of one man, the \u003ca href=\"https://sfjazz.org/sfjazzcollective\">SFJAZZ Collective\u003c/a> is a group that’s thrived by sharing responsibilities. An all-star eight-piece band that’s run by the Bay Area jazz organization SFJAZZ, the collective chooses a composer every year, and each member arranges a tune by that artist (past seasons have explored the music of composers such as McCoy Tyner, Horace Silver, Stevie Wonder, and John Coltrane). Every player is also commissioned to write an original piece for the ensemble, and each year the organization releases a live album documenting some of those pieces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the 2016 season the collective focused on the music of Miles Davis, and the new double album, \u003cem>The Music of Miles Davis and Original Compositions, \u003c/em> features one disc of the trumpeter's music and one disc of original compositions. Following up on 2015’s consistently winning \u003cem>The Music of Michael Jackson and Original Compositions \u003c/em>(which features the same personnel), the new album goes from strength to strength. Some of Davis’ best known pieces get cleverly refurbished, like trumpeter Sean Jones’ atmospheric arrangement of “So What.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis’ electric work is too often overlooked as a source for interesting material, and it’s thrilling to hear how drummer Obed Calvaire fills out the harmonies on the sinewy “Bitches Brew,” a seminal piece of jazz-rock fusion, and trombonist Robin Eubanks' celestial take on “Tutu” (by bassist Marcus Miller). My favorite track is by alto saxophonist Miguel Zenón, the only founding member of the collective still in the fold. In his hands, the mysterious tune “Nardis” sounds like a rave from a Bulgarian wedding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disc of originals is nearly as engaging. High points include tenor saxophonist David Sanchez’s achingly beautiful “Canto,” vibraphonist Warren Wolf’s sassy blues waltz “In the Heat of the Night,” and trumpeter Sean Jones’ tribute to a founding SFJAZZ Collective member, “Hutcherson’s Hug,” a warmly lyrical evocation of vibraphone legend Bobby Hutcherson, who \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/08/16/490226783/bobby-hutcherson-jazz-vibraphone-modernist-has-died\" target=\"_blank\">died last year\u003c/a>. Beautifully recorded at the SFJazz Center’s Minor Auditorium by Jeff Cressman, who also produced the album, the collective’s 12th release makes an indisputable case for the ongoing vitality of this group and the repertory-and-originals concept on which it was founded.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11407606/new-releases-from-sfjazz-collective-and-mark-masters-offer-fresh-takes-on-jazz-giants","authors":["86"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_223"],"tags":["news_3771","news_17051","news_17286"],"featImg":"news_11407672","label":"news_72"},"news_11363086":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11363086","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11363086","score":null,"sort":[1489932002000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"new-jazz-releases-from-alex-cline-and-cameron-graves-draw-on-spiritual-inspiration","title":"New Jazz Releases from Alex Cline and Cameron Graves Draw on Spiritual Inspiration","publishDate":1489932002,"format":"audio","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":72,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Los Angeles is often described as an atomized metropolis where it’s nearly impossible to build a sense of community.

Like Washington, Graves is bursting with ambition and has no shortage of ideas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listening to a piece like the torrential “El Diablo,” I kept thinking he’s learned a lot from the jazz rock fusion of the 1970s in a good way, as if he took the guitar out of Chick Corea’s Elektric Band and added a horn section instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgIEmOitspg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his percussive touch, Graves locks in again and again with Thundercat and Bruner, a remarkable bass and drums tandem. His compositions drill down into grooves and then suddenly spring open, like the stunning \"Satania” and the herky funk of \"End of Corporatism.” Clocking in at a generous 80 minutes, \u003cem>Planetary Prince\u003c/em> is a more fully realized statement than \u003cem>The Epic\u003c/em>, which tended to sprawl and repeat itself. As impressive as it is, I get the sense that \u003cem>Planetary Prince\u003c/em> is just one small chapter in the unfolding book of Cameron Graves.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Two new jazz albums from L.A. musicians highlight some of the enduring creative networks thriving in Southern California.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1490137639,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":true,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":14,"wordCount":690},"headData":{"title":"New Jazz Releases from Alex Cline and Cameron Graves Draw on Spiritual Inspiration | KQED","description":"Two new jazz albums from L.A. musicians highlight some of the enduring creative networks thriving in Southern California.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"New Jazz Releases from Alex Cline and Cameron Graves Draw on Spiritual Inspiration","datePublished":"2017-03-19T14:00:02.000Z","dateModified":"2017-03-21T23:07:19.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"disqusIdentifier":"11363086 https://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=11363086","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/03/19/new-jazz-releases-from-alex-cline-and-cameron-graves-draw-on-spiritual-inspiration/","disqusTitle":"New Jazz Releases from Alex Cline and Cameron Graves Draw on Spiritual Inspiration","audioUrl":"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2017/03/2017-03-17d-tcrmag.mp3","guestFields":"0","path":"/news/11363086/new-jazz-releases-from-alex-cline-and-cameron-graves-draw-on-spiritual-inspiration","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Los Angeles is often described as an atomized metropolis where it’s nearly impossible to build a sense of community.

Like Washington, Graves is bursting with ambition and has no shortage of ideas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listening to a piece like the torrential “El Diablo,” I kept thinking he’s learned a lot from the jazz rock fusion of the 1970s in a good way, as if he took the guitar out of Chick Corea’s Elektric Band and added a horn section instead.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/GgIEmOitspg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/GgIEmOitspg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his percussive touch, Graves locks in again and again with Thundercat and Bruner, a remarkable bass and drums tandem.

That’s right down to the music on the track, produced by Fontana hip-hopper Hitboy, with its sense of confident focus, pared down to impactful minimalism, her delivery of her affirmation clear and sharp and uncomplicated. It’s not the only little bit of advice she has, as she sings “Smile More” with a hopeful tone to a lover, and perhaps to herself — a bit different and far more sensual context than the same advice given by Burr to Hamilton in the Broadway sensation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That doesn't mean this is simple, not in any way. Working with a roster of producers including Internet guitarist Steve Lacy on some tracks and hazebanga (whose credits go from M.I.A. to Mariah Carey and Selena Gomez) on a couple, as well as producing three herself, she shows an impressive sense of art in the use of sound and space, building solidly on the Odd Future and Internet approaches. Connecting with the latter, this is being released concurrently with Internet partner Matt Martians’ album “The Drum Chord Theory,” and the two will be doing a joint tour. Even her voice is used with distinctive subtlety, often conversational but soaring with precise flights when she wishes, when it’s most effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And throughout there is a sense of promise in a young artist discovering her own talents, searching possibilities. One of the singles released ahead of the album puts that right in the title, the hip-hop/soul twitch “All About Me.” Based on what is heard here, we look forward to learning just that. She seems to be learning, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNIOrsxsa0A\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Cherry Glazerr\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On arrival a few years ago, the then-teenaged L.A. trio \u003ca href=\"http://cherry-glazerr.com\">Cherry Glazerr\u003c/a> announced its sense of whimsy with its very name, an homage of sorts to L.A. public radio morning host \u003ca href=\"http://curious.kcrw.com/2014/02/radio-host-chery-glaser-interviews-the-band-cherry-glazerr\">Chery Glaser\u003c/a>. There’s still plenty of whimsy with this third album — it’s titled “Apocalipstick,” after all, but here the band announces that it, unlike many others, fully understands that whimsy and irony are not the same thing and that whimsy and depth can do more than just coexist, but strengthen each other. And founder-front person Clementine Creevy — now complemented by two new members in drummer Tabor Allen and multi-instrumentalist Sasami Ashworth — is still not yet 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-11289469\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"Cherry Glazerr\" width=\"301\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-1020x1020.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-960x960.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-520x520.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-150x150.jpg 150w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\"> Opener “Told You I’d Be With the Guys” is an inside-out reach for solidarity with other women, echoed in the song’s sound, built on a kickoff guitar lick that consciously or otherwise evokes “Last Splash” by the Breeders, a notable ‘90s female-centric band. Guided by veteran producers Joe Chicarrelli and Carlos De La Garza, the trio brings brightness to the sound, punchy and powerful, but also loaded with hooks that call to mind not just the Breeders, but other similar vintage acts ranging from the Cure to Jane’s Addiction, Creevy able to shriek like Perry Farrell or coo like Debbie Harry, the swings maximizing the impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For all of that, at root this is still your basic rock trio of guitar, bass and drums, moving from the metal wallop of “Moon Dust” to the compelling punk-surf waves of “Humble Pro” (which itself breaks into melodic choruses before returning to crash-bang mode) to the more subdued, somber “Nuclear Bomb.” Later, “Sip O’ Poison” gallops away from — or perhaps it’s toward — dread in a dense clip-clop as Creevy’s guitar trades distorted solos with a tinny synthesizer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s another title that catches the eye: “Nurse Ratched,” a tribute to the complicated, monstrous, manipulative nurse of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” Is it a condemnation? Is it a tribute? “You’re so cold master, where do I begin?” Creevy sings, later adding, “She’s a wild one in the land that’s supposedly free.” Maybe not so much whimsy here, but ambiguity at its best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFgz9aiiZlQ\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Ty Segall\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ty-segall.com\">Ty Segall\u003c/a>’s riffed-up, revved-up guitar-rock song “Thank You Mr. K” stops for a second midway through, and then there’s a crash, like a chandelier flung down a sweeping staircase, before the musical fury resumes. Well, it’s not fine crystal. As you can \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/188364924\">see in a video\u003c/a> on Segall’s web site, it’s really a toilet being smashed to bits. But those two contrasting images make for a pretty good description of what Segall offers on the latest of his many and frequent projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Segall-800x568.jpg\" alt=\"Segall\" width=\"800\" height=\"568\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11299603\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Segall.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Segall-160x114.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Segall-240x170.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Segall-375x266.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Segall-520x369.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glory and irreverence do battle throughout the album, titled simply “Ty Segall,” in classic glam-rock fashion -- and this is perhaps the most glam, and most focused, of the Southern Californian’s catalog, in which he has moved readily from rock to metal to folky musings, often in the course of one album.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in that sense it’s noteworthy and fitting that he’s recycled the simple, focused title of his first ultra-indie release from 2008, bespeaking that sense of renewed purpose, if not a truly cleaned slate. Of course, that might also be tongue-in-cheek (not unusual for him) in that where he often works in the studio as a one-man band, here he’s focused on guitar and vocals in league with a full group, accompanied by longtime co-conspirator Mikal Cronin on bass, Emmet Kelly on guitar, Charles Moothart on drums and Ben Boye on keyboards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Relatively short and crisp is the dominant mode, opener “Break a Guitar” coming off as T. Rex (a long-time Segall fave) jamming with Neil Young (another hero). “Freedom,” just two minutes long, is a classic anglophilic shuffle. There is contrast: “Orange Color Queen” slows it down for an acoustic turn, while “Warm Hands (Freedom Returned)” plays off the opener with an extended excursion stretching more than 10 minutes, and giving the band plenty of time to work through ranges of styles. Another contrast brings it all together, with closing “Take Care (To Comb Your Hair)” reaching back to ‘60s Merseyside and ‘70s power-pop for a catchy ditty. Though…. technically it’s not the closer. Never one to let a mood stand or a conclusion really be a conclusion, right after that song ends comes “Untitled,” listed at a full 13 seconds (yes, seconds) but really just a four-Mississippi burst of two quick beats). Don’t be surprised if Segall’s next album \u003ci>starts\u003c/i> that way. Of course, at the rate he puts things out, we may have to wait just a few weeks for that one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/293028117\" params=\"auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Bonus Track: \u003ca href=\"http://www.fatherjohnmisty.com\">Father John Misty\u003c/a>, “Pure Comedy” single\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>And here, in a single previewing the upcoming album of the same title, we have the mercurial Mr. Misty channeling his inner Randy Newman (and a bit of John Lennon to boot) into timely, sardonic, unsparing topicality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ladies, I hope we don’t end up regretting this,” he sings over a piano-centric arrangement in a song of fear about bringing children into this world — not a new concept, but perhaps a renewed one.

Connecting with the latter, this is being released concurrently with Internet partner Matt Martians’ album “The Drum Chord Theory,” and the two will be doing a joint tour. Even her voice is used with distinctive subtlety, often conversational but soaring with precise flights when she wishes, when it’s most effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And throughout there is a sense of promise in a young artist discovering her own talents, searching possibilities. One of the singles released ahead of the album puts that right in the title, the hip-hop/soul twitch “All About Me.” Based on what is heard here, we look forward to learning just that. She seems to be learning, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ZNIOrsxsa0A'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ZNIOrsxsa0A'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch2>Cherry Glazerr\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On arrival a few years ago, the then-teenaged L.A. trio \u003ca href=\"http://cherry-glazerr.com\">Cherry Glazerr\u003c/a> announced its sense of whimsy with its very name, an homage of sorts to L.A. public radio morning host \u003ca href=\"http://curious.kcrw.com/2014/02/radio-host-chery-glaser-interviews-the-band-cherry-glazerr\">Chery Glaser\u003c/a>. There’s still plenty of whimsy with this third album — it’s titled “Apocalipstick,” after all, but here the band announces that it, unlike many others, fully understands that whimsy and irony are not the same thing and that whimsy and depth can do more than just coexist, but strengthen each other. And founder-front person Clementine Creevy — now complemented by two new members in drummer Tabor Allen and multi-instrumentalist Sasami Ashworth — is still not yet 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-11289469\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"Cherry Glazerr\" width=\"301\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-1020x1020.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-960x960.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-520x520.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut-150x150.jpg 150w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23897_SC345-qut.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\"> Opener “Told You I’d Be With the Guys” is an inside-out reach for solidarity with other women, echoed in the song’s sound, built on a kickoff guitar lick that consciously or otherwise evokes “Last Splash” by the Breeders, a notable ‘90s female-centric band. Guided by veteran producers Joe Chicarrelli and Carlos De La Garza, the trio brings brightness to the sound, punchy and powerful, but also loaded with hooks that call to mind not just the Breeders, but other similar vintage acts ranging from the Cure to Jane’s Addiction, Creevy able to shriek like Perry Farrell or coo like Debbie Harry, the swings maximizing the impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For all of that, at root this is still your basic rock trio of guitar, bass and drums, moving from the metal wallop of “Moon Dust” to the compelling punk-surf waves of “Humble Pro” (which itself breaks into melodic choruses before returning to crash-bang mode) to the more subdued, somber “Nuclear Bomb.” Later, “Sip O’ Poison” gallops away from — or perhaps it’s toward — dread in a dense clip-clop as Creevy’s guitar trades distorted solos with a tinny synthesizer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s another title that catches the eye: “Nurse Ratched,” a tribute to the complicated, monstrous, manipulative nurse of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” Is it a condemnation? Is it a tribute? “You’re so cold master, where do I begin?” Creevy sings, later adding, “She’s a wild one in the land that’s supposedly free.” Maybe not so much whimsy here, but ambiguity at its best.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/GFgz9aiiZlQ'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/GFgz9aiiZlQ'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch2>Ty Segall\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ty-segall.com\">Ty Segall\u003c/a>’s riffed-up, revved-up guitar-rock song “Thank You Mr. K” stops for a second midway through, and then there’s a crash, like a chandelier flung down a sweeping staircase, before the musical fury resumes. Well, it’s not fine crystal. As you can \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/188364924\">see in a video\u003c/a> on Segall’s web site, it’s really a toilet being smashed to bits. But those two contrasting images make for a pretty good description of what Segall offers on the latest of his many and frequent projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Segall-800x568.jpg\" alt=\"Segall\" width=\"800\" height=\"568\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11299603\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Segall.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Segall-160x114.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Segall-240x170.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Segall-375x266.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Segall-520x369.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glory and irreverence do battle throughout the album, titled simply “Ty Segall,” in classic glam-rock fashion -- and this is perhaps the most glam, and most focused, of the Southern Californian’s catalog, in which he has moved readily from rock to metal to folky musings, often in the course of one album.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in that sense it’s noteworthy and fitting that he’s recycled the simple, focused title of his first ultra-indie release from 2008, bespeaking that sense of renewed purpose, if not a truly cleaned slate. Of course, that might also be tongue-in-cheek (not unusual for him) in that where he often works in the studio as a one-man band, here he’s focused on guitar and vocals in league with a full group, accompanied by longtime co-conspirator Mikal Cronin on bass, Emmet Kelly on guitar, Charles Moothart on drums and Ben Boye on keyboards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Relatively short and crisp is the dominant mode, opener “Break a Guitar” coming off as T. Rex (a long-time Segall fave) jamming with Neil Young (another hero). “Freedom,” just two minutes long, is a classic anglophilic shuffle. There is contrast: “Orange Color Queen” slows it down for an acoustic turn, while “Warm Hands (Freedom Returned)” plays off the opener with an extended excursion stretching more than 10 minutes, and giving the band plenty of time to work through ranges of styles. Another contrast brings it all together, with closing “Take Care (To Comb Your Hair)” reaching back to ‘60s Merseyside and ‘70s power-pop for a catchy ditty. Though…. technically it’s not the closer. Never one to let a mood stand or a conclusion really be a conclusion, right after that song ends comes “Untitled,” listed at a full 13 seconds (yes, seconds) but really just a four-Mississippi burst of two quick beats). Don’t be surprised if Segall’s next album \u003ci>starts\u003c/i> that way. Of course, at the rate he puts things out, we may have to wait just a few weeks for that one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='450'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/293028117&visual=true&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/293028117'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Bonus Track: \u003ca href=\"http://www.fatherjohnmisty.com\">Father John Misty\u003c/a>, “Pure Comedy” single\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>And here, in a single previewing the upcoming album of the same title, we have the mercurial Mr. Misty channeling his inner Randy Newman (and a bit of John Lennon to boot) into timely, sardonic, unsparing topicality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ladies, I hope we don’t end up regretting this,” he sings over a piano-centric arrangement in a song of fear about bringing children into this world — not a new concept, but perhaps a renewed one.
