This is the one hundred fifty-eighth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
A modern folk singer whose music is difficult to classify, Joanna Wallfisch puts plenty of feeling into each song she interprets.
Originally a painter, she earned a Masters in jazz at Guildhall School Of Music and Drama, learned guitar, ukulele, piano, flute and kalimba, and moved to New York in 2012.
She has since worked with such artists as Wynton Marsalis, Kenny Werner, Lee Konitz Sam Newsome and Dan Tepfer (with whom she recorded a duet album for Sunnyside), and released five recordings as a leader.
A little reminiscent of David Amram in that she gives one the impression that she can perform all types of World Musics on a wide variety of instruments while always conveying the spirit of jazz, Joanna Wallisch has the added advantage of also being a singer.
On her LiveStream from July 2, 2020, Joanna Wallfisch performs a wide variety of originals in colorful, enthusiastic, and sincere fashion.

Review:
This is the one hundred and seventy-second in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
An up-and-coming trombonist, Mariel Bildsten graduated from the New School in 2015 and has since worked with a variety of groups in the New York area.
She has led small groups of her own and performed with Roy Hargrove, Wycliffe Gordon, Brian Lynch, Cyrus Chestnut and Dee Dee Bridgewater among others.
On her LiveStream from June 30, 2020, Mariel Bildsten is first seen playing six trombones (through skillful editing) on a big band swing tune; she also performs solo trombone on Mary Lou Williams’ “What’s Your Story, Morning Glory” (the basis for “Black Coffee”), and concludes with an excerpt of her playing a Latin jazz tune with backing by tres and bass.

You can follow Don Braden here.
Review:
This is the two hundred thirty-first in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
A major tenor-saxophonist for the past 30 years, Don Braden was born in Cincinnati, raised in Louisville, and was playing professionally by the age of 15.
After studying at Harvard, Braden moved to New York City in 1984 and has since worked with a long list of notables including the Harper Brothers, Betty Carter, Wynton Marsalis, Roy Haynes, Tony Williams, Freddie Hubbard, J.J. Johnson, the Mingus Big Band and countless others, leading 19 albums of his own since 1991.
Pianist Oscar Perez also has a long resumé including working with Wycliffe Gordon, Virginia Mayhew and Phoebe Snow.
During their relaxed LiveStream of June 29, 2020, Perez and Braden take an equal amount of solo space, swinging their way through lesser-known songs plus “There Is No Greater Love” and “Have You Met Miss Jones” while clearly being inspired by each other’s presence.

Review:
This is the one hundred forty-third in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Daniel Zamir, who is from Israel, started playing the saxophone when he was 11, graduated from the Thelma Yellin High School of Arts and moved to New York where he attended the New School.
He recorded three albums for John Zorn’s Tzadik label where he mixed together jazz with his Jewish/Israeli heritage; Zamir has since moved back to Israel, largely specialized on the soprano sax, and appeared at many festivals.
Nitzan Bar, who is also based in Israel, is an outstanding young jazz guitarist who has worked with the Israel Jazz orchestra and in recent times has frequently teamed up with Zamir.
Their set of soprano sax-guitar duets (a June 29, 2020 LiveStream from Tel Aviv), which becomes a trio with the addition of an excellent keyboardist on a few numbers, is full of folk melodies, virtuosity, mellow tones, and exciting interplay between the two (and sometimes three) musicians who are all quite talented and original stylists.
