he 2014 Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival got into full swing over the

weekend. Rochester’s downtown was packed — especially Gibbs Street, which was crowded wall-to-wall and impassable

on some evenings — as bands from around the world shared their craft. Contained here is a recap of the Jazz Festival’s first four days (deadlines would not allow us to include Tuesday), as we reach a half-way point for the festival.

The festival continues through Saturday, June 28. Be sure to check online at Rochestercitynewspaper.com for our comprehensive Jazz Festival guide and daily-updated blogs of our critics’ thoughts on each night’s acts.

They tell me Janelle Monáe is on the rise and it’s easy to

say why. The set was sci-fi cool with a nod to the

Mothership as Monáerolled out in a straitjacket

and bandages like Hannibal Lecter and a Dr. Frankenstein creation. The

energy was straight-up nuclear and loud. She came out on 11 and stayed there.

The crowd for Janelle Monae was on its feet from the start and stayed, but Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was down the street so I couldn’t hang around. I hidey-hauled my ass down to the happening scene. What started out as a more tongue-in-cheek swing band has become a slick outfit and easily one of the best jumpin’ jive bands alive. Yup, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy killed it on the Chestnut Street stage for thousands of would-be lindy-hoppers. The thunder of the band’s drummer was contained by a giant plastic sneeze guard. Other than that the band looked decadently vintage … and sounded that way too with an expertly brash blast of timeless brass.

At the Lutheran Church Friday night, Finland’s Sun Trio seemed caught between the past and future of jazz. When trumpeter Jorma Kalevi Louhivuori played his instrument traditionally he had exceptional range, from melodic to abstract, and from gorgeous to guttural. Simply put, the man had incredible chops. But, about half the time, he insisted on adding electronics to the mix, using pedals to distort and loop and another devise to harmonize. Sometimes he’d put the trumpet to his side but it was still playing. The best moment of the concert came on a ballad when Louhivuori, and his superb bassist (Antti Lötjönen) and drummer (Olavi Louhivuori), gradually worked their way into such an other-worldly sound that it left the reality of the trumpet, bass, and drums behind. Ironically they didn’t need any of the electronics to work that magic.

Snarky Puppy

Hands down, my favorite part of seeing a band live is the spontaneous smile that creeps across a performer’s face. I don’t mean the “look nice for the crowd and pretend” smile. It’s the smile that happens after a musician pulls off a momentous build, or their bandmate wraps up a ridiculous solo. In that moment, you know they’re having as much fun as the crowd. That’s why Snarky Puppy’s stellar second set at Harro East Ballroom on Saturday night will stick with me for a while.

A collective of sorts, members of Snarky Puppy have their regular gigs with acts like Erykah Badu, Kirk Franklin, Justin Timberlake, Roy Hargrove, and Snoop Dogg. A world of influences comes back to Snarky Puppy, and live, this produced an epic-in-scope, rich set.

The eight members on stage — bandleader and bassist Michael League; Chris Bullock, tenor saxophone; Evan Weiss, trumpet; Justin Stanton, keys and trumpet; Cory Henry, keys and synth; Mark Lettieri, guitar; Nate Werth, percussion; and drummer Robert Searight — were filled with a contagious youthful energy that the crowd latched onto, bouncing all the way. League runs a tight ship and there was a clear favor toward the grand dramatic in the band’s hip fusion.

If there could be any complaint it’s that at the softer points of Snarky Puppy’s set, a lighter solo or use of sparse instrumentation, the sound didn’t carry well across the large, boxy Harro East Ballroom. But when pushing full-sprint, full-volume — especially during a dual trumpet attack — those concerns quickly disappeared.

Marsalis joined the band on drums during the final song of the regular set, and on percussion during the two-song encore, reminding me why I love festival shows and why you should always stick around for the finale — and damn, I could write a full column about that Cory Henry, synth-heavy, swirling finale.

At Kilbourn Hall on Saturday night, the Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet provided a stark counterpoint to many XRIJF bands. Instead of the loose-fitting clothes favored by physically active musicians, all four of them wore suits and ties. This buttoned-down look would seem to contradict the freedom inherent in jazz, but even that freedom was under control. There were no 20-minute rambling tunes here; each composition lasted about five minutes. Marsalis kept glancing at his watch (at least eight times). A one-hour set was going to last one hour. If all of the above sounds negative, it’s not. I just found it to be a fascinatingly different approach from a unique jazz personality. In fact, Marsalis and his band were great. It was refreshing to have each tune be a distinctive entity rather than a meandering jam. There were beautiful ballads (“Nights In Brooklyn”) and sneaky sounding melodies (“B.P. Shakedown”) and even a tone poem of sorts about a man who could not dance. Solos were short, but excellent, with an occasional quote from a Monk tune or another classic. These well-groomed men let loose in their music in a manner reminiscent of a dressed-up 1950’s band. Marsalis’ polite demeanor did not prevent him from some astute political remarks that drew applause from the crowd. The show ended at exactly 7:02 with a standing ovation but no encore.

WOODY PINESI ended the night at Abilene as Woody Pines played it just as jumpin’ as the Rangers but a couple of clicks closer to rockabilly and rock ‘n’ roll. The band was essentially drumless, a la Johnny Burnette, but had one in front just in case. But I’m telling you, the kids in the street don’t need a drum to feel the beat.

22SUNDAY

JUNESunday evening and the crowds were a little lighter and not as frenzied, frazzled, and frantic as the night before. What’s cool for this festival is how much Brubeck it has exposed us to over the years. Whether it’s been the Sisters Euclid, Sunday’s appearance by the Brubeck Brothers Quartet , or the man himself (who insisted on an elbow bump in lieu of a handshake when I met him years ago backstage), Rochester has been substantially Brubecked, Brubeckerized, Brubeckified, and hipped to the ‘Beck. The Brubeck Brothers Quartet — featuring Dan Brubeck on drums and Chris Brubeck on slide trombone and bass — were precise and swingin’ right out of the gate, with a lilting grace that played off the early evening sun streaming through the Harro East Ballroom windows. It stayed aloft even when they coped to a most-excellent mambo in 9/8 time. Dad would have been proud. Highlights permeated the band’s whole set, especially its take on “Blue Rondo a La Turk,” which escalated into bluesy forays in another signature to keep the ears happy and the feet guessing. There are just some shows that make you feel privileged to be there.

To say Cécile McLorin Salvant was great in

her Kilbourn Hall performance Sunday evening

would be an understatement. She understood,

inhabited, and delivered the Great American

Songbook like no one else I’ve ever heard. In fact,

you could say she excavated forgotten parts of it and

struck gold. I thought I knew it pretty well, but she

sang some songs I’d never heard, like her opening

number, “They Say It’s Spring.” It was one of those

wonderful narrative songs that revealed itself only

with the final word.

She followed that with a brilliant classic by

Bert Williams who, she explained, was black and

performed in blackface. The song, from 1905, was

“Nobody” and McLorin Salvantlived it. She sang

songs made famous by Bessie Smith and Billie

Holiday and story songs like “Guess Who I Saw

Today.” Her vocal range, from way down low to the

register of angels was impressive but her emotional

range was far wider. She packed more into one word

than most singers put into a whole song.

Her band was excellent but

like McLorin Salvant, pianist Aaron Diehl was

beyond superb. It was Diehl who supplied the

crucial dynamics — from thunderous chords to

complete silence — that formed the foundation

for McLorin Salvant. On “Laugh, Clown, Laugh,”

he played as if his fingers were stuck in a

music box pattern. On Bessie Smith’s “What’s

The Matter Now,” he somehow made the piano

sound like a very old 78 rpm record. When he

took off on a solo, he was breathtaking, playing

impossibly complicated runs with both hands

simultaneously.

For her encore, McLorin Salvant chose a song

from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella.”

But, true to form, she did not identify with the

beautiful heroine. She sang the ode to spitefulness

and jealousy, “The Stepsisters’ Lament.”

The second breathtaking pianist I heard Sunday evening was Gerald Clayton at Hatch Hall. His set was Keith Jarrett-like, that is he improvised so much that even recognizable tunes were tough to decipher. The one that came closest to its original form was “On The Sunny Side Of The Street” but even that melody was taken down dark alleys and up grand boulevards. He ended with a magnificent rendition of something that sounded like enhanced Chopin, but he never announced what it was.

BONERAMA

23MONDAY

JUNE

Catherine Russell must be a Jazz Fest

crowd favorite. Patrons packed wall-to-

wall into the Harro East Ballroom to

see the daughter of the late Luis Russell.

When Catherine Russell appeared on

stage in a glittery silver top, the audience

responded with enthusiastic cheers.

Russell’s strong, soulful voice was near-

perfection as she plowed through one

classic jazz tune after another, achieving

the kind of technical prowess that is

normally reserved for recordings these

days. It was an impressive feat, considering

how feverishly she moved her hips to the

beat. The audience played along, bobbing

their heads and tapping their toes.

Russell’s saucy vocals were

accompanied by a simple band comprised

of upright bass, piano, and guitar. Fat,

full bass notes laid a strong foundation

for the simple pass-and-play style

performance, and Russell’s narratives

were punctuated with classic, cool

solos from each of her band members.

There was nothing too complicated or

sophisticated about the whole affair. It

was a set list chock full of crowd pleasers.

CATHERINE RUSSELLThe Big Easy trombone onslaught was in full effect Monday night as Bonerama (not to be confused with a Vanessa del Rio flick) rocked the Montage stage. Instead of merely flooring it the minute it hit the stage, the horn-driven band built up from a funky groove, taking turns before building it into a thundering brass blast. The guitar wasn’t as prevalent as it is in most other settings, but honestly, the parts it delivered were mostly made up of vowels from out of nowhere and some deep funk.

Melissa Aldana and Crash TrioMelissa Aldana and Crash Trio were skirting the abstract with a lighthearted, romantic slant and pitch. It was the drummer that knocked my socks off as he buttered the music with fills, stops, and starts with a slap-happy grin and drama. It seems every year or so, I fall in love with a drummer. The last one was from The Bad Plus (that m***er f***er played with his elbows for Chrissakes). This year’s percussion crush is this Crash Trio cat. Now if I only knew his name…

My last show of the night was another strong one: guitarists Julian Lage and Nels Cline at the Little Theatre. Cline, who plays with Wilco, used an electric guitar while Lage preferred an acoustic. They are both such virtuosos that sometimes it seemed that their fingers were in a constant series of races to the end of the fretboard. (Cline alluded to this when he introduced the first song, “Racy,” which was about something else.) But when they latched on to a great tune, the interplay was sublime. One of those great tunes was “Rosemary,” though Cline, who did all the talking, didn’t say who wrote it. The set ended with a two-song suite (also unidentified) that was superb from start to finish.

Like a smokier, darker Kelly Willis, Jeanne Jolly and her band splashed alt-country holy water on the faithful in the Abilene revival tent. The sparseness of the band worked as a rudimentary call and response to Jolly’s beautiful voice. The set was peppered by a few too many stops, but Jolly’s charm made just about anything that could’ve happened or gone wrong, alright with me. I know she’s not a drummer, but maybe this was a night to fall in love twice.
