JamBase Questionnaire: Brian Haas
December 7th, 2010 |
No Comments
Welcome back to JamBase’s baker’s dozen to the bright lights of the music world. Last time we heard from The New Up.
Odysseys are a tricky business. By nature, they are circuitous and fraught with sirens calling one towards the rocks and angry, jealous gods tossing stones in one’s pathway. The long, winding road of Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey handily reflects the mythological origins of their name, with myriad lineup changes and stylistic shifts over their many years. But one element remains constant – though perhaps bobbing his head wildly – and that’s Brian Haas, who is hands down one of the finest keyboardists of his generation, a player for the ages who continues the line begun by Earl Hines, Chick Corea and John Medeski.
Another facet of an odyssey is surprise around each turn, and one need only press play on Stay Gold, the latest JFJO studio joint (released June 21 on Royal Potato Family), and they’re whisked into brightly hued fresh spaces dappled with Chris Combs’ lap steel (and growing compositional acumen) and Haas’ ever-potent piano. The atmosphere of opener “The Sensation of Seeing Light” touches on Jacob Fred’s existing gift for capturing elemental qualities in song, but it’s followed by “Trampoline Phoenix,” which shifts and explodes in a patient, intense way for a vibe that’s genuinely new. This vibe – a little Okie, a little funky, a little classical – continues on the superb “Hanby’s Window,” which burns and jumps with giddy life. A lovely melodic sense infuses this set, with the entire quartet using conscious control and playing to the shared sensibilities of each piece. So, as usual, instrumental music is given a gift when JFJO gathers, particularly in the flowing, gorgeous piano work of Haas on Stay Gold.
Jacob Fred plays NYE in their native Tulsa, Oklahoma – tackling, perhaps literally, the music of Madonna, Beyonce and Lady Gaga – and then a special NYC Winger Jazz Fest gig in NYC at Le Poisson Rouge on January 8 (late night – starting at 1 am), but Mistah Haas squirreled away a few moments to answer our questions. (Dennis Cook)

House of Blues Sunset Strip May Shut Down
September 10th, 2010 |
No Comments
HOB TO MAKE ROOM FOR NEW HOUSING COMPLEX
The West Hollywood City Council has voted 4-1 in favor of a project that may replace The House of Blues on the
Sunset Strip. The Gauntlet reports that developers
would like to use that chunk of land for a 149 room hotel and a new housing complex.
It has yet to be determined whether or not the House of Blues would be demolished entirely, or incorporated into
the
new complex. Liz Morentin, a spokesperson for Live Nation, the operator of the House of Blues, said: “We have a
lease,
which with renewal rights, goes through 2025, and we plan on continuing our operations at the venue.”
In a statement on ABC News, West Hollywood Deputy City Manager Anne McIntosh discussed the Live Nation lease
agreement: “The city recognizes
that the developer and club operator have a private contractual agreement and this was considered in the approvals
given last night,” said West Hollywood Deputy City Manager Anne McIntosh in a statement.
The House of Blues has been in operation on the Sunset Strip since 1994.
