The National Endowme nt for the Arts Composer&rsquo\;s Award winner asserts that it is his writ ing which helped develop what has now become a singular voice in modern ja zz. He also credits his Philadelphia hometown for a solid and communal mus ical upbringing\, where he grew up in the midst of a robust music scene un der the tutelage of inï\;¬\;&sbquo\;uential jazz elders like Al Jac kson\, Eddie Green\, Tyrone Brown\, and his musical father figure\, alto s axophonist Tony Williams. It&rsquo\;s here that he had the platform to dev elop his distinctive voice\, which has garnered international critical acc laim\, and attention from such wide-ranging artists as Ahmir &ldquo\;Quest love&rdquo\; Thompson of The Roots\, the legendary Eric Clapton\, and Q-Ti p formally of the iconic hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest\, with whom Ro senwinkel has been featured both live and on his highly regarded solo effo rts\, The Renaissance (2008) and Kamaal the Abstract (2009). (The renowned rapper also co-produced Rosenwinkel&rsquo\;s exploratory 2003 release\, H eartcore.) &ldquo\;I can&rsquo\;t really control what comes out of me\, co mpositionally speaking\,&rdquo\; says Rosenwinkel. &ldquo\;In fact\, it&rs quo\;s kind of like I&rsquo\;m discovering things that are already there w hen I&rsquo\;m writing so the process of composition is more about having a blank slate in my mind and then seeing what comes and then discovering t hings. I feel like it&rsquo\;s less of a function of will than it is a fun ction of just listening.&rdquo\;\n\nA truly transcendental outing\, Rosenw inkel doesn&rsquo\;t abandon the tradition which threads his playing and e stablished his resonant foundation. Songs like the gloriously swinging &ld quo\;A Shifting Design&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Mr. Hope&rdquo\; present a nexu s of earthiness amidst etherealness\, with Parks delivering a delightfully Monk-ish solo on the latter\; an homage to the unsung bebop pianist Elmo Hope. &ldquo\;Homage a&rsquo\; Mitch&rdquo\; is another bow to his deep be bop roots as embodied by Mitch Borden\, who owned Smalls jazz club in New York City&rsquo\;s West Village throughout the '90s where Rosenwinkel&rsqu o\;s bands played a major role in the now legendary scene.\n\nRosenwinkel has continuously taken gallant steps in his artistry\, and now\, with  \;Star of Jupiter (WOMMUSIC/2012)\, articulates his vision on the deepest level yet. Irrefutably the most influential jazz guitarist of the new mill ennium\, Rosenwinkel is steering the ship on a journey which encompasses m ore than an adept mastery of his instrument. \;Star of Jupiter \;i s an experience\; an opportunity for listeners to hear in the music\, thei r own dreams.\nKurt Rosenwinkel's website DTSTART:20130220T200000 DTEND:20130220T220000 DURATION:PT3H LOCATION:San Francisco SUMMARY:KURT ROSENWINKEL - SOLD OUT!!!
