Review:

This is the one hundred seventy-sixth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

An excellent swing singer who enjoys digging up obscure gems from earlier decades, Maud Hixson is based in St. Paul, Minnesota although she has appeared in numerous shows and cabaret clubs in New York.

Hixon has a warm and friendly voice and clearly enjoys the vintage material that she interprets.

On her LiveStream from April 25, 2020, she is accompanied by the versatile pianist Rick Carlson who does a fine job of striding on the opening “Ain’t We Got Fun” and acting as a one-man rhythm section behind the singer throughout.

Among the songs that are explored are “Make It An Old Fashioned,” “No More Blues,” a vocalese version of “Cotton Tail” that is worthy of Annie Ross, “Daydream” (taken by Carlson as a piano solo), “I’ll Get By,” “You’re Out Of Here” (Lorraine Feather’s witty lyrics to Fats Waller’s “Harlem Drag”), “Early To Bed,” and a delightful version of “I’ll See You In My Dreams.”

This is the 236th in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

The son of saxophonist Arnie Lawrence, Erik Lawrence started on the sax when he was five, later adding the flute.

An educator since the age of 18, he currently co-leads a group with his sister singer Marya Lawrence and leads Hipmotism in addition to his own trio.

Along the way he has worked with Chico Hamilton, Sonny Sharrock, Hubert Sumlin, David Amram and Henry Butler and for 20 years with Steven Bernstein in addition to artists from other fields.

On his intriguing LiveStream from Apr. 23, 2020, Erik Lawrence is heard interacting with bassist Michael Bisio (who is particularly skilled in utilizing his bow) and drummer Harvey Sorgen on a set of adventurous improvisations that succeed becaus of the close communication and fast reactions between the three skilled and creative musicians as they explore a variety of moods.

Review:

This is the forty fourth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

A superior guitarist, Stephane Wrembel with his Django Experiment group has revived and extended the music of Django Reinhardt into areas that sometimes unexpected.

In his series of LiveStreams, the acoustic guitarist, who recently recorded every selection (mostly originals) that Reinhardt had documented as unaccompanied solos, has been performing those pieces.

In this LiveStream from May 12, 2020, Wrembel plays “Perfum,” “Two Improvised Guitar Choruses,” and Django Reinhardt’s arrangement of “Tea For Two.”

Review:

This is the hundredth and thirty-fourth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

A promising young jazz singer, Camille Bertault was born in Paris, she began studying at the Paris Conservatory when she was 8, studied classical piano, composition and opera at the Conservatory in Nice, and was briefly involved in theater before deciding to dedicate herself to jazz singing when she was 25.

Most influenced by instrumentalists, she has often written French lyrics to jazz solos along with composing originals in the jazz tradition.

Ms. Bertault began making videos on Facebook a few years ago and has become a bit of a sensation in France; her first album to be released in the U.S. is En Vie on the Sunnyside label.

On her LiveStream from May 10, 2020, she performs several originals plus a heartfelt version of “Black Coffee,” “Footprints,” and a Jobim tune while accompanied by a fine pianist; this performance serves as an excellent introduction to Camille Bertault.
