NPR Jazz Poll. Kind of like the Rotten Tomato of Jazz. 139 best list complied to make an overall best list. https://www.npr.org/2019/01/05/682193795/the-2018-npr-music-jazz-critics-poll |
Interesting clip with the great Wayne Shorter and Wynton Marsalis’ JALC Orchestra in a tribute to the great musician. Features arrangements by band members of many of Shorter’s compositions with some really interesting commentary by Wynton about each composition’s genesis. Wayne is 87 (!) years old and certainly not at the peak of his playing ability, but still with that rare and elusive ability to pour an amazing amount of emotion and meaning into a single note. Wonderful to watch the band’s players all intently hanging on every note that this idol plays. Fantastic section playing by the band in arrangements that, with one or two exceptions, are great: https://youtu.be/Db8wyrpxdDo |
