Odean Pope Trio @ Sligo (9:30)
After more than forty years of being a highly regarded musician's musician, saxophonist Odean Pope threatens to break out into mass consciousness with the release of his sizzling tour de force session with his Saxophone Choir, appropriately titled Locked and Loaded: Live at The Blue Note (Half Note, 2006). While he also works in trio and quartet settings, his signature Saxophone Choir fulfills his early desire to translate the power and majesty of a gospel choir to his beloved reeds. Featured on the live recording are soloists who grew up inspired by Pope's musical vision, including Michael Brecker, Joe Lovano, and James Carter. And why not? Pope gives grateful acknowledgment to the great musicians who came before him, all links in the unbroken lineages that flow like rivers through Jazz.
Pope is an exceptionally compelling and original musician. As listeners heard when he performed at the Sydney Jazz Festival In 1998, with the great drummer Max Roach, he possesses a very powerful sound, and a quite awesome control of his instrument, including the use of multiphonic and circular breathing techniques.
Odean was born in the town in the town of Ninety Six, South Carolina, but grew up in Philadelphia. Philadelphia had a thriving Jazz scene in the post war era and produced such notable Jazz artists as John Coltrane, Lee Morgan, Clifford Brown, Benny Golson, McCoy Tyner, the Heath Brothers, Ray Bryant, Kenny Barron, Bill Barron, Archie Shepp, Jymie Merritt, Jimmy Garrison and Philly Joe Jones.
Odean played his share of R&B gigs (at the Uptown Theater, he played in the house band behind such. names as James Brown and Marvin Gaye). He studied with Ray Bryant, and was especially influenced by the pianist Hasaan lbn Ali (a brilliant but obscure figure who made just one record, 'The Max Roach Trio Featuring The Legendary Hasaan'. He was clearly aware of and deeply impressed by the music of John Coltrane. But unlike so many other tenor saxophonists, he managed to absorb Coltrane's message while developing a recognizable sound of his own.

Bootsie Barnes Quartet @ Brodeur's on State Street (9:30)
Saxophonist Robert "Bootsie" Barnes has been proclaimed a Philadelphia treasure. His celebrity should rank along with TastyKakes and Philly Cheese Steaks. "Bootsie" began his musical career at age 6 on piano and switched to drums at 10. His grandmother gave him a saxophone at age 16 and he never looked back. In school, classmates included drummers Lex Humphries, Bill Cosby, Al "Tootie" Heath; bassist "Spanky" DeBreast; trumpeter Lee Morgan, and a host of Philadelphia giants who went on to help shape the maturing face of Jazz music. He was among Philadelphia's most called upon saxophonists. During the 60's and 70's he was playing with such legends as Don Patterson, Philly Joe Jones, and the late Al Grey. He has led touring ensembles for his childhood buddy, Bill Cosby, and made a guest appearance on television's The Cosby Show (playing himself).
Bootsie has also worked the entire "Organ Circuit" with Shirley Scott, Jimmy McGriff, Charles Earland, Jack McDuff, Poppa John & Joey DeFrancesco, and the undisputed champion of the organ, Jimmy Smith. Although Mister Barnes toured the U.S., Europe and Canada, he makes his home in Philadelphia. At home, the new "Young Lions" of Jazz regard him as their "Mentor Emeritus". He is also held in high esteem by his "elder statesmen of Jazz" in Philly and around the world. Now in his sixties, Mr. Barnes plays an average of 4 nights a week in the city where he was born, and where his fans are fiercely loyal. He also spends a great deal of time in the neighborhood school systems spreading the of hard practice and teamwork to youngsters via Jazz workshops. In conjunction with the John Coltrane Cultural Society and the Clef Club, he has brought summer workshops to Philadelphia Housing Projects community centers (such as Raymond Rosen, Blumberg and Martin Luther King), as well as to disadvantaged neighborhoods in Philadelphia and neighboring South Jersey. - from: 23rd Street Cafe

They perform a distinctive fusion of jazz, African, Brazilian, rhythm and blues, and hip-hop music, as heard on their most recent CD Behind the Mountain Wall.

SoulFuego @ Joclyn's Deck Bar (9)

Since that first magical engagement, the band has continued to grow and develop in new and interesting directions while still cultivating that original vibe. SoulFuego plays Funk and Soul tinged Latin Jazz with powerful vocals.

Elliot Levin Ensemble @ John's Grille (8)
Have you seen this man walking the streets of Philly? His signature single dread emits musical spores over sidewalks, music halls, and coffeehouses. Elliott is the ubiquitous Philadelphia musician.

He was featured with many legendary performers such as Peggy Lee, Bobby Darin, Michel LeGrand, Nancy Wilson and Billy Eckstein to name a few.

Chuck composes the majority of his jazz repertoire for concerts and recordings. His compositional work is a major factor in differentiating Chuck's style from other concert jazz guitarists.

Sonic Liberation Front @ "Quotations" Restaurant and Bar (9:15)
Sonic Liberation Front has essentially created its own genre in its evolution as a band. Combining free jazz with Afro-Cuban percussion and modern electronics, Sonic Liberation Front has forged an incredible sound assemblage - one that has sailed to new levels on their third album, Change Over Time. While others simply talk of combining the ancient with the futuristic, SLF have done so. More than any other band on the scene today, SLF is continuing on the paths of Sun Ra, Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman, and Art Ensemble of Chicago - new dimensions of folk art forms for tomorrow.
One of the things that sets SLF apart from most jazz or world music groups is how its music is recorded. Great attention is given in the arrangement and recording of the music to give the listener a unique experience. While most groups have horns and vocals out front with percussion to support, SLF seeks to reverse that. Sonic Liberation Front has the drums out front so that the listener hears the band the way the drummers hear it. When listening to Change Over Time, the urgency of the percussive attack is paramount, but it doesn't take away from the intricacy of the horn play.
Perhaps the most striking and unique of all of SLF's songs ever is Change Over Time's title track. Featuring Julian Pressley and other SLFers just straight talking trash atop an infectious rhythm - it makes the listener feel like they are walking right into a party.
Previous collaborations include those with luminary jazz artists Sunny Murray, Andy Gonzales, and Badal Roy. Sonic liberation Front revisits one of these collaborations with a studio recording called Sunny Murray Meets Sonic Liberation Front which is slated for release Fall 2008. Another new studio recording is slated for release in Spring 2009.
Past performances Include: The Vision Festival, the New Millennium New Music Series at The Chicago Cultural Center, The Krannert Center for Performing Arts at the University of Illinois in Urbana, The Suoni per il Popolo Festival, Edge Fest 2007 - Kerrytown Concert House in Ann Arbor Michigan, West Oak Lane Jazz & Arts Festival, Casa del,Popoplo in Montreal, Ars Nova workshop in Philadelphia sharing billing with Kalil El'Zabar's Ritual Trio featuring Billy Bang, Freestyle Jazz series at Jimmies opposite Nate Wooley, Taylor Ho Bynum, + Ken Filiano, Tomas Fujiwara Kevin Diehl has performed in the Tyrone Hill Ensemble with Tyrone's Sun RA Arkestra leader Marshall Allen and Odean Pope. Kevin also collaborated with Sun Ra Arkestra guitarist David Hotep Middleton in performances and his recent Hydrogen recording project.
The Band: Kevin Diehl, Chuck Joseph, Okomfo Adwoa, Matt Engle, Cito Carabella, Terry Lawson, Todd Margasek.

Roger Prieto Quartet @ Stephen's on State (9:15)
Hard bop trumpet digs in and sparks wil fly . . .
For years, Roger was a fixture at every jam session in Philly, whatever the neighborhood. Natalie's, Ortlieb's, 23rd Street, Barb and Barbara's (and other clubs I wouldn't go near) have all been witness to his steady growth. If you don't get out much, you might remember him as a young, eager kid standing respectfully next to Bootsie Barnes, taking a tenuous chorus or two, and modestly dismissing any praise you might offer him.
Well, Roger is still a humble guy, but he's finally coming into his own as a leader and sideman on the Philly scene. Headlining at Ortlieb's and Brett's, Mr. Prieto has joined the ranks of Philly's serious players. Bootsie says his new band is doing a lot of the old Blakey charts. That's something you don't hear a lot around here these days. Let's just hope that now that he's making some bread, he'll still make a session or two. Roger is a serious trumpet player, and has worked hard to get where he is. Check him out !!

Mélange@ Pinocchio's Bar & Restaurant (7:30)
Information on Mélange coming soon.

Beats Walkin' @ Plumstead Inn (8:15)
Jim Cohen, Bob Lewis, Wendi Bourne and Chuck Lindsey, purveyors of Fine Western Swing since 1994.
Somewhere up in heaven, right this very moment, there's an incredible jam session taking place. The group assembled represents some of the most talented and creative individuals ever to inhabit the planet. Though most would find it impossible to fathom, Jazz legend Charlie Parker is weaving his intricate horn lines amidst the soulful vocal of Country superstar Patsy Cline. The rhythm section, led by the late drummer, Philly Joe Jones, is swingin' in a manner only possible among those who have been freed from all physical constraints. Every now and again, Elvis himself (who never did have such constraints) appears at the microphone for a little hubba-hubba. And for those of you still wondering what ever happened to Glenn Miller that fateful night his plane disappeared, the truth is now revealed -- he got offered the job as bandleader for this unlikely melange of musical talent and had to fly off in a hurry for the first gig!
What exactly is going on here? That joyful noise you hear is called Texas Swing - an eclectic blend of Jazz, Swing, Country, Bluegrass, Blues and Boogie-Woogie that'll have you smiling so wide your cheeks will hurt. Invented "way down Texas way" in the 1930's by a cigar-chompin' part-time barber named Bob Wills, Texas Swing blends the sounds of traditional big-band Jazz with the Western style influences of fiddle and steel guitar. Almost all major Country acts today include a Swing tune or two in their repertoires. But the sound is so refreshing, so infectious, and so damn much fun, that you can't help but wonder why they don't just play it all the time.
Fortunately, there's now a new group on the scene that specializes in this unique musical form and has been delighting audiences throughout Philadelphia since early 1994. The band, appropriately known as Beats Walkin', consists of some of Philly's finest musicians. Starting with punchy Big Band arrangements and tight vocal harmonies, they cook up a musical jambalaya that just won't quit. Bassist Bob Lewis and drummer Chuck Lindsay keep the pot well-stirred while vocalist/guitarist Wendi Bourne adds just the right amount of spice. Bandleader Jim Cohen blends in the special sauce: he's one of the few musicians in Philly who knows what to do with a pedal steel guitar and can make it cry or dance with just the flick of a wrist.
Obviously, this is no ordinary band. This is an adventure in good taste. From their jazzed up version of the Bob Wills classic "San Antonio Rose" to the rousing chorus of "Miles and Miles of Texas" this is good time music that's guaranteed to have you grinnin' all the way from Austin to Boston. For Heaven's sake, don't fight the feelin'. Come on down and have a helluva time!  - O. Dewey Lovett
