CORINA BARTRA
SOMETHIN' JAZZ CLUB / MARCH 6
Vocalist Corina Bartra's musical fluency combines the Criolla harmonies and rhythms
of her native Peru with jazz and world music. Whether performing with an orchestra
or a quartet, Bartra finds her groove and builds a sound that is all her own. Bartra's
emotional delivery and unfettered quality have been met with acclaim with the New
York Daily News and All About Jazz singing her praises. Alongside grants from the
American Embassy and the Carnegie Foundation, Bartra has aimed her sights on
expanding Afro-Peruvian jazz in the United States, securing its presence for years to
come. At Somethin', saxophonist Math Stackler, guitarist Billy Newman, pianist Dan
Kaufman, bassist Uri Klainman and percussionist Perico Diaz will join Bartra on tunes
that span her entire catalog. EW
CYNTHIA SAYER
JOE'S PUB / MARCH 7
A decade in Woody Allen's New Orleans Jazz Band increased Cynthia Sayer's public
exposure. But it's the four-string banjo player's work as a leader that has expanded her
style and her reputation as a formidable jazz musician. It doesn't hurt that she is also
an appealing singer in the mainstream tradition, with more than a wink of humor and
irreverence in her approach. One of last year's delights was Sayer's CD Joyride (cyn
thiasayer.com), wherein she ventures beyond the usual circumscribed banjo role to fea-
ture it as a blues, tango and swing instrument, as well as a credible ballad limner.
She'll be front and center at this gig, billed as The Banjo Show, with Dennis Lichtman,
clarinet and fiddle; Jared Engel, bass and Larry Eagle, drums. GK
AL FOSTER
VILLAGE VANGUARD / MARCH 11-16
Considered one of the most versatile and in-demand drummers today, Al Foster is well
into his sixth decade as a professional. Foster made his recording debut at 16 with Blue
Mitchell. Heard in 1969 by Miles Davis, the trumpeter recruited Foster for his band
where he would spend the next 13 years touring and recording. Foster's versatile chops
have been utilized by numerous greats including McCoy Tyner, Wayne Shorter, Bill
Evans, Stan Getz, Horace Silver and Dexter Gordon, to name just a few. By 1997, the
drummer was leading his own group on a regular basis and made his first CD as a
leader, Brandyn, which also showcased his skills as a composer. His current quartet
includes saxophonist Dayna Stephens, pianist Adam Birnbaum and bassist Doug
Weiss. KD
AMBROSE AKINMUSIRE
JAZZ STANDARD / MARCH 13-16
Quirky originality may be valued among jazz legends, but Thelonious Monk probably
couldn't win the international competition named in his honor—at least not until
2007, when Ambrose Akinmusire not only won it, but went on to win a prestigious
International Jazz Trumpet Solo competition. Akinmusire is not afraid to expand and
even ignore the usual parameters of trumpet playing in fashioning compelling, cliché-
free solos that can range from mellow to clamorous, pinched and squeezed to clarion.
Since signing with Blue Note three years ago he has expanded his vision as a compos-
er and leader. At this gig the Ambrose Akinmusire Project, his working quintet plus
guitarist Charles Altura and vocalist Theo Bleckmann, will be previewing his new CD,
the imagined savior is far easier to paint. GK
MARIA SCHNEIDER
JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER / MARCH 14-15
Duke Ellington's highest praise was to describe something as "beyond category." His
words come to mind on the heels of composer/conductor/arranger Maria Schneider win-
ning three 2014 Grammys in Classical categories for her latest recording, Winter
Morning Walks (ArtistShare). However, garnering a new armload of awards to deco-
rate her already crowded mantel is not a sign that Schneider is turning her back on her
musical roots. Listeners will have a chance to hear that for themselves when she brings
her 17-piece jazz orchestra into the Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center. In the two
decades since she released her first big band/orchestra recording, Schneider has con-
sistently attracted some of the top players in jazz and crafts her material to spotlight
each individual's talents and skills. EK

Brubeck's Take Five was one of the first
jazz records Cables owned and he admired
Miles Davis' version of "The Duke" from the
Gil Evans-arranged recording Miles Ahead.
"The new CD is about honoring people
who have meant a lot to me," says Cables,
who wrote the piece "Cedar Walton" in
memory of that pianist who died in 2013.
"Cedar was a big part of my music life."
During his early jazz years, Cables recalls
standing behind Walton at Club Ruby in
Queens, listening, watching and learning.
"I admired Cedar and his music; I felt kin-
ship with him. He just wanted to be a good
band member, a good player," a concept that
resonated with Cables and became his goal.
"Farewell Mulgrew" is dedicated to
Mulgrew Miller, another pianist the jazz
world lost last year. "I remember him when
he was young and skinny," Cables says
with a laugh. "He was serious and soulful,
but also had a great sense of humor."
Trumpeter Woody Shaw, a former band
mate of both Miller and Cables, would
often talk about Mulgrew, Cables says.
"Woody had an eye for people who were
special."
Several compositions on the CD were
written by some of the iconic musicians
Cables played with over the years, includ-
ing vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson's
"Little B's Poem." "He's been a strong influ-
ence and he has recorded a lot of my
