Kandace Springs was born in Nashville, started piano lessons at ten, and developed into an appealing and versatile singer.
Since moving to New York, she has recorded an EP and led three albums of her own: Soul Eyes, Indigo and The Women Who Raised Me.
Her sidemen on her recordings included Terence Blanchard and Roy Hargrove with Springs often crossing over between jazz and r&b.
On her LiveStream from June 13, 2020, Kandace Springs accompanies her singing on piano (which she plays quite well) and on one number on electric keyboards, displaying a strong, attractive and friendly voice on “Angel Eyes,” “Someone To Watch Over Me,” “I’ll Never Be The Same” and “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” all performed as soulful ballads.

Review:
This is the one hundred and eighty first in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Mike Dillon is a versatile vibraphonist and percussionist who was originally from San Antonio, Texas and is currently based in Kansas City.
He has appeared in settings ranging from funk and soul jazz to free improvisations and has been a member of Critters Buggin, Les Claypoo’s Fancy Band and Garage A Trois, leading groups of his own (including Mike Dillon’s Go-Go Jungle), and working with Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe and with a trio called “The Dead Kenny G’s.”
Bassist James Singleton has long been a major fixture in the New Orleans music scene, being a member of the Astral Project and working with John Scofield, John Medeski, John Abercrombie, Ellis Marsalis, Eddie Harris, Lionel Hampton, Arnett Cobb, Banu Gibson, Chet Baker, James Booker, and many others.
In this intriguing set of free improvisations (the first one lasts 33 minutes), a LiveStream from July 19, 2010, Mike Dillon switches constantly between his percussion and vibes while James Singleton provides a strong forward momentum and often hard-swinging lines while reacting constantly to Dillon’s playing, even playing a little bit of trumpet.
The spontaneous music holds one’s interest throughout.

Review:
This is the one hundred seventieth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Pianist Luis Perdomo was born in Caracas, Venezuela and developed so quickly as a musician that when he was just 12, he was already playing on television and radio.
When he was 22 in 1993, Perdomo moved to New York and began studying at the Manhattan School of Music where he graduated in 1997; along the way he also studied with Harold Danko and Sir Roland Hanna.
Since that time, the pianist has appeared on over 200 records, worked with such notables as Miguel Zenon, Dave Douglas, David Sanchez, Tom Harrell, Steve Turre, Ray Barretto, Brian Lynch, and Conrad Herwig, and been a member of the Ravi Coltrane quartet for ten years.
On his LiveStream of June 27, 2020, Luis Perdomo (on electric piano) plays duets with bassist Mimi Jones (who has been a significant force as a player and the head of her own label during the past 20 years) on a Horace Silver blues and a few originals, taking a sophisticated ballad as a solo piece on keyboard.
The music is straight ahead and swinging yet modern, helping to define the mainstream of jazz today.
