“Two and a half years after his last recording as a leader for Impulse, pianist McCoy Tyner emerged to start a period on Blue Note that would result in seven albums. Having left John Coltrane‘s Quartet in late 1965, Tyner was entering a period of struggle, although artistically his playing grew quite a bit in the late ’60s. For this release, the pianist is teamed with tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Elvin Jones for five of his originals. Highlights of the easily recommended album include “Passion Dance,” “Four by Five,” and “Blues on the Corner..”

Raíces (Roots) pays homage to the originators of Latin Jazz and performs original music in the same style. The release of their debut, self-titled album was well-received and earned the quintet a featured spot at the 2023 Chicago Latin Jazz Festival. Raíces was modeled on the famous Cal Tjader Quintet of the 1950’s & 60’s by the late Chicago percussionist Rubén Alvarez and is now led by vibraphonist Joe Sonnefeldt.

“Soul Sauce is one of the highlights from Tjader’s catalog with its appealing mixture of mambo, samba, bolero, and boogaloo styles… an album full of smart arrangements, subtly provocative vibe solos, and intricate percussion backing.”

Jazz Record Art Collective presents Daniel Chavez Quartet performing John Coltrane’s 1963 recording BOTH DIRECTIONS AT ONCE Wed. Mar. 5 @FSC

The evening will feature live painting from visual artist TBA.

“On March 6, 1963, John Coltrane, along with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones – the line-up that would go on to make the peerless A Love Supreme – recorded an entire studio album at Van Gelder Studios, New Jersey.
At the end of the session, Coltrane left with a reference tape and brought it home. These tapes remained untouched for the next five decades (the mastertapes however are lost) until Impulse! approached the family about finally releasing it…..It is not an overstatement by the great Sonny Rollins, to say its rediscovery is “like finding a new room in the Great Pyramid”, for this captures saxophonist Coltrane at a cross-roads of invention, still exploring the modal jazz he was working within during that period, but also containing early indications, sometimes overtly strong, of the ‘free jazz’ that was to come.”

ARTIST BIO

Tiffani Kuhn is a Chicago-based artist dedicated to creating beauty through the transformative power of art. With a passion for both painting and photography, Tiffani explores a range of styles, including abstract expressionism and conceptual works centered around mannequins. The work delves into themes of spirituality, the connection between mind, body, and soul, and the timeless beauty of nature, fashion, and the female form.

For over seventeen years, Tiffani has shared this passion as a dedicated art teacher, working to bring creativity and self-expression into the lives of students of all ages. In addition to teaching, Tiffani hosts art events that foster connection and creative exploration, believing that art can bring people closer to understanding themselves and the world around them.

Though Tiffani has taken formal art courses in college, much of their artistic journey has been shaped by self-teaching and a deep desire to experiment with new techniques and mediums. This independent approach allows for a constantly evolving practice that remains fresh and inspired.

Tiffani’s work has been featured at various Chicago venues, including Fulton Street Collective, Royal Grocer & Co., the Pilsen Art Walk, and Around The Coyote, contributing to the city’s vibrant arts community.

Through each piece, Tiffani aims to evoke emotions, provoke thought, and remind viewers of the beauty and depth in both the ordinary and the extraordinary. TiffaniKuhn.com
