    The Power of a Horn section in Jazz – John Montesante

    Trumpeter and composer John Montesante visited the Bent Notes studio to chat about his music, and the exhilaration of the sound of a horn section when placed over the top of a Jazz Quintet.   John was joined in-studio by his Associate Paula. John also spoke of his signature cap from his collection of caps and great-coats related to his interest in the American Civil War; and his being brought to Jazz after watching Miles Davis at the Newport Jazz Festvial. We learnt that John ‘s first trumpet leaked a lot and that he pushed soap into the gaps to seal them – which meant that occiaionally bubbles also found their way out of the trumpet in addition to the notes! Since that time John has spent much time in the industry, and runs his own quintet – the JMQ – and the exciting brassy sound of the expanded JMQ Dectet. John performs with his JMQ regularly at the Golden Gate Hotel in South Melbourne, and brings the Dectet out a couple of times a year.  Keep an eye on John’s Gig Guide for future events. Hear John chat in this Podcast from JOY 94.9 Follow John and his Quartet and Dectet on John’s socials.

    Nature’s God and Possible Utopias for Laurence Pike

    Drummer and composer Laurence Pike spoke about his latest solo album entitled Possible Utopia’s for Jazz Quintet – a title that is a red herring – because it is an album of Solo improvisation from Laurence. We learnt that Laurence is a fan of Star Trek, and as much as he has spent lots of time creating and exploring music electronically, he is also a fan of people creating music by hand – and in this case creating a solo recording that might suggest to the listener music being created in the future, or perhaps even in another galaxy! Laurence also spoke about the BELIEVE ensemble, a more traditional Jazz Quartet – and their new album called NATURE’S GOD.  BELIEVE draw their influence from a lot of free jazz from the 60’s and 70’s and European Chamber Music and Minimalism. Nature’s God is being launched in Sydney at 21 Shepherd in Marrickville on Friday July 10 and in Melbourne at The Jazzlab on Sunday July 12 – presented by the Melbourne Jazz Co-Operative.

    Enchanted Ground – Historical Recordings of the Browne-Haywood-Stevens Trio

    Pianist Tim Stevens visited the Bent Notes studio to chat about two new album releases that he has curated from recordings he made of the Browne-Haywood-Stevens trio in 1999/2000 when they were coming to the close of a long-standing residency on the stage at The Bennett’s Lane Jazz Club.   Tim used his DAT recorder and a single microphone on stage to record 25 gigs and has recently listened to each of them and selected a number of the pieces to feature on these two new digital albums – Enchanted Ground vol. 1: Standards, and Enchanted Ground vol. 2: Originals. The albums also feature some of Allan Browne’s unique “talks” to the audience. Tim recalls some of his early piano learnings and teachers, his move from Classical to Jazz piano, and the way the trio worked so well together as a single entity to produce their music. Tim found the name for the albums in a poem from Emily Dickinson, a favourist of Allan Browne – and read the poem in memory of Allan. Exhilaration is the Breeze That lifts us from the Ground And leaves us in another place Whose statement is not found – Returns us not, but after time We soberly descend A little newer for the term Upon Enchanted Ground – – Emily Dickinson Checkout the details of the two new albums on Tim’s Bandcamp page.
