Nissman has earned a reputation as one of the "last pianists in the grand Romantic tradition of Liszt, Rachmaninoff and Rubenstein," ( New York Times ). Her international career was launched in 1971 with a highly acclaimed European tour, personally sponsored by Eugene Ormandy. In Europe, Nissman has appeared as a soloist with the London Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic, the BBC Symphony, the Rotterdam Philharmonic and the Munich Philharmonic. In the United States, she has appeared with the New York Philharmonic, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the St. Louis Symphony and the the Philadelphia Orchestra. In 1989, she made history by becoming the first pianist ever to perform the complete piano sonatas of Sergei Prokofiev in a series of three performances in New York and London. The Mystical Arts of Tibet: Sacred Music Sacred Dance will follow on October 6 in Hensel Hall. The Drepung Loseling Monks of Tibet, whose concerts include long Himalayan horns and elaborate costumes, draw from traditional temple music and masked dances in a performance believed to generate energies conducive to world harmony. Their repertoire of masked dances will include the Deer Dance, Dance of the Sacred Buffalo, Skeleton Dance and the Dance of the Rainbow Beings.

Extractions: Published February 20, 2004 CLEARWATER - Elvis Costello could teach pop music's current crop a thing or two about "unplugged" performances. The 49-year-old British musician seem to bristle with electricity Thursday before a crowd of 1,408 at Ruth Eckerd Hall in the first of two Tampa Bay area performances. (Costello performs tonight at Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center.) Backed only by pianist Steve Nieve, his comrade from the Attractions, Costello culled for more than two hours from his three decade career. Known for complex lyrics that oscillate between the oblique and the poetic, Costello seems lately to be focusing on one theme: amore. Certainly love drives 2003's North, an album of piano ballads. For those that criticize the album's somber mood - and it's definitely a song cycle tailor-made for twilight and falling leaves - they're missing Costello's point. The songs chronicle a rebirth and suggest that love is cyclical, like the seasons. The heart can rejuvenate. Costello has found love with new wife, Canadian jazz singer-pianist Diana Krall. The evidence is all over North and in the former Angry Young Man's playful demeanor. Onstage he cracks jokes and encourages audience sing-alongs.

Extractions: During a distinguished career spanning three decades, Paul McCandless has brought a soaring lyricism to his playing and composing that has been integral to the ensemble sound of two seminal world music bands, the original Paul Winter Consort and the relentlessly innovative quartet, OREGON. A gifted multi-instrumentalist and composer, McCandless has specialized in an unusually broad palette of both single and double reed instruments that reflect his grounding in both classical and jazz disciplines. Born in the small town of Indiana, Pennsylvania to a musical family, McCandless inherited his artistic passion from his parents who were both music teachers. His father played the oboe, as well as his grandfather, who acquainted Paul in his youth with the world of musical instruments in his repair shop, where pieces of old horns became toys. By nine, McCandless was playing the clarinet. Although his training was classical, he was introduced to jazz during junior high school and was learning saxophone at the same time that he took up his primary instrument, oboe. Oregon In Moscow In his odyssey through the woodwind family, McCandless gradually expanded his array of instruments, adding the bass clarinet, soprano and sopranino saxophones, penny whistles, various ethnic flutes, and the electronic wind controller to his primary instruments, the oboe and English horn. He began extending his reach outside of OREGON as a collaborator and solo artist, and is credited with more than 150 albums and performances with such musicians as Jaco Pastorius (Invitation on Warner Brothers), Carla Bley (Night-Glo on Watt-Works), Art Lande/Dave Samuels (Skylight on ECM), Eberhard Weber (Later That Evening on ECM), as well as with Wynton Marsalis, Pat Metheny, Mark Isham, Steve Reich, Al Jarreau, Bruce Hornsby, Victor Wooten, Andy Summers, Fred Simon, Michael Manring, Darol Anger, Mike Marshall, and String Cheese Incident.

Extractions: Martial Solal was born in Algiers on August 23, 1927. He moved to Paris in the late 1940s where he began a career that has spanned work with Sidney Bechet and Lee Konitz. In the early 1950s he played and recorded with both Django Reinhardt and Don Byas, and later in the decade with Lucky Thompson and Kenny Clarke. When Miles Davis said, 'Damn! That boy Solal can play!' in 1958, Mr. Solal already had mature possession of his skills, but few had heard of him outside France. As a leader, his groups have ranged from a trio with two bassists to big bands. He is heard at his best in a conventional trio format on Jazz A Gaveau , where his ability to structure fragments of melody, rhythm and harmony into a seemingly composed whole is amply demonstrated. Mr. Solal has also scored music for several films. His original compositions and his powerful writing were always praised by more perceptive critics, and if much of his work was done before jazz was perceived as an international language, he has been one of those who changed that perception.

Extractions: Alumnus and noted contemporary composer Steve Reich will present a Composer's Forum Friday at 1:25 p.m. in Barnes Hall, and then will have his music performed the next night. Reich '57, who also will receive the Cornell Alumni Award for Distinction in the Arts on Friday night (see story) , won a Grammy Award for best contemporary composition in 1990 and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1994. His appearance at Cornell is co-sponsored by the Cornell Council for the Arts. Reich's music will be performed by the Cornell Contemporary Chamber Players (CCCP) Saturday at 8 p.m. in Barnes Hall. Selections will include Music for Pieces of Wood, Nagoya Marimbas and Six Marimbas . Also performing will be the Ithaca College School of Music Percussion Ensemble with Gordon Stout, Ithaca College associate professor of percussion. Reich's goal in writing Music for Pieces of Wood (1973), he says, was to compose music employing the simplest instruments possible in this case the claves, because of their different and exact pitches and timbre. "This happens to be one of the loudest pieces of music I have ever written, though it uses no amplification whatsoever. Its rhythmic structure is based on a process in which some rhythm pattern is building up in the course of substituting beats for rests," he said. The piece will be presented by five of the Ithaca College ensemble's percussionists.

Jim Hall, Concierto chords the intro and trades off with pianist Hanna before It is a lovely little melodyfeaturing hall on acoustic to bassist Ron Carter and drummer steve Gadd. http://www.greenmanreview.com/concierto.html
Extractions: Jim Hall, Concierto (CTI Records, a division of Sony,1997) Guitarist Jim Hall's Concierto has an interesting history of how it got to be in its present form. It was originally released on LP (which I wore the grooves off) in 1975 on the CTI label which went belly up a few years later. Columbia Records bought up all the old CTI masters; and, in 1987, it was re-released on CD, adding an alternate take of one track from the original LP and one new tune altogether (Good, I can't wear this one out!). Sony then bought Columbia Records and re-released it again, now back with the CTI logo, and this time with two more alternate takes and yet another new tune, all taken from the original recording dates. Regardless of which form of this recording you get to hear, you're in for a treat. Hall is one of the leading exponents of jazz guitar on today's musical landscape. His ultra-smooth playing, sense of harmony, dynamics and ability to really swing are an absolute joy to listen to. On this recording Hall is surrounded by a legendary ensemble of sidemen: Chet Baker on trumpet, Paul Desmond on alto saxophone, Sir Roland Hanna on piano, Ron Carter on bass and Steve Gadd (who seemingly can play just about any kind of music) on drums. Arrangements were charted by Don Sebesky. The album opens with the Cole Porter standard "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To." The treatment here is an uptempo one, and the band comes out swinging from the first note. Hall leads off with an extended solo which continually restates the theme. Desmond, the essence of cool, follows here with a short but sweet alto solo and briefly duets with Baker on trumpet, before Baker charges ahead. Hanna is featured next with a rhythmically complex, contrapuntal solo. He is followed by a brief horn chorus leading into a really nice bass solo by Carter. Hall, Desmond and Baker close the track by trading lines they're so attuned to each other's playing that they seem to be extensions of themselves.

Danilo Pérez And Steve Lacy Review pianist Danilo Pèrez and soprano saxophonist steve Lacy started odd combination a young Panamanian pianist in his But their performance at Zankel hall on Feb http://www.daniloperez.com/html/press/ratliffenyt021104.html
Extractions: Danilo Pèrez and Steve Lacy: An Odd Combination Finds Synergy The pianist Danilo Pèrez and soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy started playing duets together in 1998. They seemed an odd combination - a young Panamanian pianist in his early 30's who came through Caribbean and Afro-Cuban roots and the American jazz mainstream, and an American soprano saxophonist in his mid-60's who had perfected his own sometimes delicate and odd version of jazz while living in Europe. Their first collaborations felt tentative. But their performance at Zankel Hall on Feb. 4 suggested a much more profound connection, one that ought to be recorded and savored; it proved both Mr. Pèrez's impressive breadth as an improviser, and Mr. Lacy's high standing as a composer. When they started, they had obvious common ground in Thelonious Monk. Mr. Lacy played in Monk's bands for short periods in the early 1960's and absorbed his rhythmic and melodic language. Mr. Pèrez, like any jazz pianist, had steeped himself in Monk's music to suit his own ends. At first, Monk pieces made up half their sets. But at Zankel they played their own pieces, and brought out the savory subleties. From the piano came galvanizing, precise rhythm and harmony, and from the saxophone came a loosening, floating, throbbing notes organized into melody, a lovely swing without hustle. Best of all were two of Mr. Lacy's pieces, one sticky and cerebral, one positively gorgeous. "Deadline," which has been recorded with lyrics, began with a tone row by Mr. Lacy, speeding up as it repeated, the melody line striking a kind of compromise between calm and anxiety. Just when the repetition was about to grow uncomfortable the piece opened up into individual soloing, and each musician played carefully and soulfully. Then came "Esteem," a set of chords oriented around a repeated D note, which Mr. Pèrez hammered rhythmically while he dampened the string inside the piano.
