A spicy jazz-packed laugh riot
Toronto Star – Jul 30, 2007
Jen Gerson STAFF REPRTER It would have required a conscious straining of will and effort to stay bored in the city this weekend as summer festival season hit its apex. The GTA played host to myriad niche crowds music cultures and foods. Exhibition Place was transformed: pink orange purple and green cloth draped tree trunks decorating Masala! Mehndi! Masti! 2007 a celebration of South Asian culture. Vendors selling saris bold beaded jewellery and wedding paraphernalia took over the the inside of the CNE’s Better Living Centre while outdoors traditional Indian music and dances kept the crowd on its feet in the midday sun. "The music the atmosphere the food. The food was good" said attendee Tanisha Chatterjee… Barely a block away and just across Lake Shore Blvd. was the ongoing Chinese Lantern Festival at ntario Place. n the other side of the city jazz aficionados trumpeted beneath the sun and the stars during the Toronto International Beaches Jazz Festival.

GIVE ME THE NIGHT… R THE NEW DAY
Sofia Echo – Jul 30, 2007
Three hours later her son was born. In the hospital the baby was dubbed “the jazz man”. “He will be brought up with jazz and rock music but in any case not chalga (pop-folk)” the young mother said on the radio. The presenter responded that after hearing Benson and Jarreau the baby decided to come out because he heard that the world was a nice place to be. Not a story that you hear every day.
Music Review | Marc-André Hamelin
New York Times – Jul 30, 2007
Hamelin recently issued on the Hyperion label. The precision and clarity he brought to the brisk outer movements of the Sonata No. 23 in F suited the music’s scampering gait; in between came an exquisitely molded adagio during which time seemed to stand still. Hamelin’s phrasing in the Sonata No. 41 in B flat underscored the bold peculiarity of Haydn’s syncopated rhythms and unpredictable melodies. “Sonata in a State of Jazz” composed by the French pianist Alexis Weissenberg in 1982 offered formidable Cubist allusions to popular forms… Hamelin’s phrasing in the Sonata No. 41 in B flat underscored the bold peculiarity of Haydn’s syncopated rhythms and unpredictable melodies. “Sonata in a State of Jazz” composed by the French pianist Alexis Weissenberg in 1982 offered formidable Cubist allusions to popular forms. A tartly dissonant tango in three-quarter time was punctuated with glimmers of nostalgic melody; a spiky Charleston emphasized sharp-edged rhythms. Dense harmonies in a blues-inspired movement suggested a young Schoenberg brooding over the keys in an after-hours Harlem joint while complex lines in the closing samba section swayed like a drunken mathematician. An account of Chopin’s Barcarolle p. 60 was a thing of breathtaking beauty every texture and transition sensitively judged.

I want to introduce all styles of music [to kids] so we get into jazz and we get into classical blues funk rock calypso whatever. It’s not these ‘teensy-weensy’ kiddie songs.
