Talk Music Talk with boice

Soulful singer-songwriter Aaron Pfeiffer is on the precipice of something big. The fellow Pittsburgh native currently lives in New York City. Since his relocation four years ago, he's been on a proactive path to his dreams. Last year he made it to the blind audition of The Voice; this year he has a July residency at NYC's Rockwood Music Hall to celebrate the June release of his debut EP Nightcall. Success leaves clues and there's no doubt that by the end of 2015, Aaron Pfeiffer will be a household name. "Can't Shake This", the first single from the EP is available now on iTunes: https://itun.es/us/VrxK6

Talk Music Talk Playlist/024: Blue Is The ColorThis week's TMT Spotify playlist was inspired by Aaron's soul-drenched vocals. However, let's not call it blue-eyed soul since Daryl Hall despises the term and he's included on the list...but I think you know where I'm going with this: James Blake, Todd Rundgren, Lisa Stansfield and more. Over an hour of heart-felt vocals for your pleasure. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/3HAoE5afGtsMGnlLYh5t5b

Jack Rabid has not only lived through New York's early 80s punk movement, he's also a documentarian of the Lower East Side history. As editor/publisher (and co-founded with the late Dave Stein) of The Big Takeover magazine, he's spent the past 35 years detailing music in all its colorful forms. From a fanzine dedicated to The Stimulators to a full-fledged bi-annual magazine, Jack's publication shows no signs of flagging despite the print industry's woes.

In addition to running a magazine for three and a half decades, Jack is also a drummer. There was the early DIY band The Even Worse (whose first show was opening for The Stimulators) and the '90s critics' darlings Springhouse. He's also done stints with Last Burning Embers and Leaving Trains.

Jack also has an online radio show, The Big Takeover Show, where he curates nearly two hours of music he can't stop playing and thinks you should, too. Listen: http://www.bigtakeover.com/radio

The Big Takeover magazine online: http://www.bigtakeover.com/

Talk Music Talk Playlist/023: Dream! Dream! Dream!For better or worse, Jack's band Springhouse inherited the shoegaze and dreampop tags during their heyday. Unfortunately labels are often too thin to contain the full depth of a band. With that said, this week's compilation features a dozen selections from their shoegaze brethren including pioneers My Bloody Valentine and Ride plus a recent addition to the genre, Cheatahs. Enjoy!

Hip-Hop producer Malik Abdul Rahmaan is an infinite source of music history spanning generations and cultures. It makes sense for the burgeoning musicologist who feels just at home in his Brooklyn residence or his home-away-from-home Tokyo. Malik is big in Japan where his beloved soulful beats keep him never lacking for production work. Everyone wants some of the Malik-style including Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah. His 2014 album 36 Seasons featured no less than three tracks with production by Malik. In addition to helming the sound for others, Malik is an artist in his own right; look out for his forthcoming project under his own name featuring field sounds. Can't wait!

French-American jazz vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant covers the waterfront when it comes to her singular song selection. Songbook standards rub shoulders up against work songs, songs sung in her native French and smart originals. Her first US-release, WomanChild (2013), is the eclectic scene of the crime which has been rewarded by a worldwide fervent fanbase, a Downbeat Jazz Album of the Year and a Grammy Album of the Year nomination. It's been a long two years since WomanChild arrived, but fortunately we'll be rewarded with a late-August follow-up.

Vocalist Sarah Elizabeth Charles is on the precipice of an exciting new career chapter. Her just released full-length album, Inner Dialogue, expands on the promise of her 2012 EP debut, Red. While the EP represented a moment in time of where she was as a bandleader with her S.E. Charles Quartet, Inner Dialogue captures her present vision. The sophomore album includes a lusher sound and lyrics that are vulnerable in their bare honesty with palette that includes jazz plus two Haitian folk arrangements and the premiere of horns in her music with the presence of co-producer/trumpet player Christian Scott. There is no doubt that Inner Dialogue will easily be one of the best albums of 2015!

If you're in the NYC area on March 30, see Sarah perform at the Inner Dialogue Release Party featuring the S.E. Charles Quartet and Christian Scott at le poisson rouge.

As unfathomable as it seems, Cuban pianist (and composer, producer & educator) Aruán Ortiz has the same 24 hours in a day as everyone else. The proof is evident in everything he's accomplished since his 2008 New York arrival. During this period he's released five albums--- three in 2012! From Alameda in 2010 to his most recent album, Banned in London with the Michael Janisch Quintet in 2012. Ortiz can as easily be found leading his own quartet or in a duo with fellow pianist Bob Glück or as a sideman with talents like Esperanza Spalding and Don Byron. His acumen and versatility allows him to flow seamlessly from setting to setting and genre to genre including jazz and experimental. Ortiz has been honored with numerous awards and accolades from The Guardian, JazzTimes Magazine, Doris Duke Artist Impact Award and Latin Jazz Corner’s Arranger of the Year.

2015 will find Aruán back in the studio working on a new album and also the realization of his long form ensemble piece at Harlem Stage, Inside a Rhythmic Falls, which was inspired by a Haitian-based African Minuet form now standard as Tumba Francesa in Cuba.

Aruán Online: http://www.aruan-ortiz.com/#bimhius2014

Talk Music Talk Playlist/020: Aruán Ortiz Edition: This week's Spotify playlist features Aruán Ortiz in a variety of jazz settings---with his quartet, duo and even as a sideman on singer/bassist Esperanza Spalding's Junjo. Selections were cherry-picked from four albums with a nod in mood to a lazy Sunday afternoon. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/2J030uq0FeZ9dW1u2K5auo

Treehaus is the solo music project helmed by pianist/singer/producer Josh Jacobson. Although his 2014 debut, Afterglow, was a Prince-like one man band affair, he regularly performs live as a trio with drummer Andrew Marshall and Richard Emery doubled up on bass and guitar. Lyrically inspired by nature, Afterglow is an impeccable blend of jazz, electronic and even a little respect to his Chicago roots with tinges of house music. The seamless mix finds it continuity in Josh's lush production and soulful vocals.

Josh also DJ's as evidenced by his weekly music podcast which features classics, new tracks and live instrumentation from him. Subscribe on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/treehaus-podcast/id913424797?mt=2

If 2014 was the introduction of this bright new talent, the journey continues in 2015 with a phenomenal new single "Underground" premiering on this episode of Talk Music Talk.

Jesse Cohen is 1/2 of the Brooklyn-based synth duo Tanlines. Their first release, Mixed Emotions, came out in 2012 with the follow-up expected Spring 2015. During the interim, the percussionist has not only spent the time crafting the band's upcoming album, he's been busy hosting his most excellent podcast No Effects with Jesse Cohen. The year-old show not only features Jesse's discussions with fellow musicians like Mapei and How to Dress Well's Tom Krell but also insightful interviews with journalists and actors.

goste is Owen Ross. Owen Ross is goste. Whether he's flying solo or in a band setting, goste effortlessly combines organic and electronic sounds with his beautifully corrosive voice crashing through the mix. The Bushwick resident's latest EP, Eugene, is a deeper exploration of a sound he's been refining since his days at the Berklee College of Music. Since his move from Boston, he's been busy spreading the word with a regular spate of shows and planning his next release: a full-length album. Also on the 2015 docket, a cassette-only release of remixes featuring goste tracks reimagined by others on one side with his reworking of other artists songs on the flip. Can't wait!

Talk Music Talk Playlist/016: On deck this week for the Spotify playlist? Well, I was stymied at first; I knew I wanted to feature goste's music but what else would compliment it? The mix of organic and electronic, the darkness, the depth. It all started with a Joy Division track and from there I knew post-punk was the compass. Some Wire, some Siouxsie, early U2 and Psych Furs plus a WTF-but-this-is-so-good moment from 80's Brit-girl duo Strawberry Switchblade. This week's playlist is an abundance of moody riches jump started with the full goste EP, Eugene, trailed by 11 kinds of loneliness. Enjoy...if you're subject to melancholy.
