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

Classically trained in Italy and Spain, violinist Ludovica Burtone worked with orchestras in Europe for nine years before moving to the United States.
Always interested in improvising, she earned a jazz composition degree from Berklee, and since then has worked with such musicians as Dave Douglas, Kneebody, Susana Baca, Danilo Perez, Jon Batiste, and the Michael Leonhart Jazz Orchestra among others, also performing with her Ludovica Burtone Sparks ensemble which is comprised of a string quartet and a rhythm section.
On her LiveStream from May 20, 2020, Ludovica Burtone often sets a pattern on her violin that is repeated electronically while she solos on top.
Her intriguing set, which holds one’s interest throughout, includes the improv “Looking Inside,” Monteverde’s “Lamento Della Ninea,” “Choro Negro,” her original “Awakening,” and a somber version of Radiohead’s “Pyramid Song”

A talented up-and-coming bassist from Detroit, Endea Owens has worked with Jennifer Holiday, Jazzmeia Horn, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Steve Turre among others.
On her LiveStream from May 16, 2020, Endea Owens is heard as a solo bassist-singer.
She performs Bobby Timmons’ “Moanin,’” takes a lengthy and fluent bass solo on an original, and ends her fine LiveStream with the Harry “Sweets” Edison blues “Centerpiece.”

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

Joe Alterman is a young 30ish jazz pianist who has been making a big impression in recent times.
Born in Atlanta, he earned degrees from New York University and has been part of the New York jazz scene for the past decade.
A well-rounded pianist who has mostly led his own trios in the New York area (in addition to performing with Houston Person and Les McCann), Alterman is in fine form throughout his May 17, 2020 LiveStream.
He performs several originals which are rhythmically catchy (one can understand why Ramsey Lewis and Monty Alexander are among his fans), does a fine job with a stride version of “Memories Of You” (which he dedicates to Nat Hentoff) and a swinging “Mean To Me,” tells some colorful stories between his piano solos, and concludes the performance by taking a surprise vocal on “If I Had You” and swinging his way through “You Are My Sunshine.”
It makes for an enjoyable hour of often rollicking jazz piano music.

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

Zaccai Curtis is a versatile pianist who studied at Jackie McLean’s Artists Collective School, founded the label Truth Revolution and, with his sibling Luques Curtis, formed the Curtis Brothers Band.
The pianists has led at least five CDs of his own.
On his solo recital room May 16, 2020, he starts off by playing a bluesy version of “Down By The Riverside” that is a bit reminiscent of Oscar Peterson, and then performs several harmonically sophisticated, modal and rhythmic originals, including one that concludes with a quote from “Moanin.’”.
The well-rounded set finishes with an uptempo piece in Bud Powell’s style that displays Zaccai Curtis’ impressive technique and creative abilities..
