The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents

Musician's Corner: Pierre Chambers, Paul, and Dear Ann

Air Date: 5/7/2023 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET

Ann and Paul Chambers

LISTEN TO THE SEGMENT HERE

His dad was famed bass player Paul Chambers. You've probably heard his bass playing on an album by Miles Davis (Kind of Blue) or John Coltrane (Giant Steps).

But the famous Paul Chambers not only played bass - he wrote songs. There is one song he wrote for his wife Ann, entitled Dear Ann. It is this song that first caught my attention when Pierre Chambers, the son, recently came out with his debut CD as a vocalist. 

It seemed to me that there were a delightful number of twists and turns in the song, and I wondered if it was difficult to sing. I contacted Pierre Chambers and he agreed to talk about this song on The Sunday Jazz Brunch. The result is this week's Musician's Corner segment.

Tune in at 9:00 am ET to hear Pierre Chambers talk about his music during Musician's Corner.

This song is a real labor of love, for all parties involved, as you will hear when you tune at 9:00 am ET.  Pierre Chambers wrote the lyrics to his dad's song.

Check out the original version of the song from a 1956 recording by the Paul Chambers Sextet. The new version sounds a bit different, of course.

A lot of great jazz has come in. Taste it every Sunday morning on the Sunday Jazz Brunch, 90.5 WICN.

Best,

Marty

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Gabriel Espinosa: From Yucatán to Tarrytown Air Date: 7/7/2024 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET I'm impressed with the lineup of artists appearing at Mark Morganelli's Jazz Forum in Tarrytown, New York. Recently Gabriel Espinosa performed with his superb band. In the photo above, we see Mr. Espinosa feeling the bass, with drummer Graciliano Zambonin reacting to the groove of the moment. Misha Tsiganov Also featured in the group was the very talented Misha Tsiganov on piano, as well as Aviana Gedler vocals and violin, and Alexandra Ridout trumpet and flugelhorn. Aviana Gedler Alexandra Ridout Not only was the music simply great to listen and groove to, but Mr. Espinosa's talk about the songs made it very interesting. There was music from Brazil, as well as music from Mr. Espinosa's home, Yucatán Mexico. In addition, we heard a Cuban Bolero, a Spanish folk tune, and even a Latin version of the Carpenters' Close to You . There is nothing like im

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Best of 2023 Air Date: 1/14/2024 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET It's time to look back at the best jazz releases of 2023. In that year I played approximately 200 new CDs. I suppose it is obvious, but just to be clear, my list represents the best from this group , and excludes CDs that we didn't receive, of which I am sure there are many. You might like to take a look at a prior 'best of' show where I laid out my philosophy (if I may use so grand a term!) behind this list.  Don't miss this show. As a jazz lover, you owe it to yourself to hear the best of the latest material.   Tune in Sunday 8:00AM ET  to hear the best jazz of 2023. And now for our annual tradition. I present to you, in play order, the Sunday Jazz Brunch Best of 2023 . 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Sam Taylor: Let Go   Saxophonist with big Ben-Webster-type sound. Darmon Meader: Losing My Mind   Singer/instrumentalist from New York Voices in solo project. See previous blog . Debut: J

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Musician's Corner: Paul Ricci Air Date: 12/24/2023 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET LISTEN TO THE SEGMENT HERE There's a scene in one of my favorite sci-fi flicks , Forbidden Planet, where the ship's doctor tries to use the ancient Krell teaching device designed for Krell children. "My mind has been expanded, it's up there in lights..." he says, or something to that effect, and then he dies from being fed too much information for his little human brain.  Well, I went too far just then describing one of my favorite movie scenes, and all to explain a little bit about how you will feel once you have finished listening to Paul Ricci talk about a couple of songs from Mafalda Minnozzi's new CD Natural Impression . Your mind will be expanded, and it will be up there in lights as you listen to the songs that Paul explains. It will certainly change the way you listen to those songs.    Tune in 10:30 ET  to hear this edition of Musician'
