Article headed "Society Jazzes Up Weekend With Quartet Show" by Bill Garts
On Friday evening, at the intimate Gardner Theatre located on the second floor of the Meadville Market House, a marvelous quartet performed some superior jazz before a capacity audience.
Sponsored by the Allegheny Jazz Society, three old friends, joined by a newcomer to Meadville, played two sets of music composed by the cream of American composers.
The quartet was fronted by tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton, originally from the New England area, but now living in London, England. His team mates were Washington, DC pianist Larry Eanet, Cincinnati-area drummer John Von Ohlen, and, from Australia, but now living in New York City, the young bassist Nicki Parrott.
The quartet opened the first set with a medium-tempo "Taking A Chance On Love," which was followed by a four-star, five alarm version of "Three Little Words," with some very fleet piano work by Eanet, and nice work from bassist Parrott.
The first ballad of the evening was a number long associated with Billie Holiday, "Easy Living," which featured a breathy solo by Hamilton, and some lyrical piano work by Eanet.
A long, medium-tempo version of Jerome Kern's "Yesterdays" followed. This led into another medium-tempo number, Victor Young's lovely "Love Letters."
The set closed with another fine ballad, Victor Young's "My Foolish Heart," with another breathy saxophone solo by Hamilton, and, again, some beautiful piano from Eanet.
The whole evening was a joy for those who appreciate what jazz society President Joe Boughton calls "the Great American Song." Hamilton remains one of the few practitioners of the tenor saxophone styles made famous by the mainly black reed players of the golden age of jazz; Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Ike Quebec, Chu Berry, Illinois Jacquet, Lester Young. His style is a distillation of their styles, is wonderful to hear.
Eanet remains the perfect band pianist. Lyrical, swinging, with a knowledge of many songs. His solo work is beautiful, and his backing of the soloists adds greatly to their solos.
Von Ohlen is fascinating to watch, and to listen to. He doesn't drown you with noise, uses colorations to good advantage, is an excellent time keeper. This reviewer has been listening to him for about fifteen years now; he has never sounded better.
Finally, we come to the Bassist, Nicki Parrott. This young lady was a most pleasant surprise. She comes from Australia, has played with the all-woman big band Viva, and is featured on an Arbors Records compact disc, playing in a group named Five Play, a band-within-a-band from the big band Viva. Not only is she a lyrical bassist, but manages to keep wonderful time, has a huge tone. We can expect much from her in the future.
The evening was another sample of what jazz is all about. Superior playing of superior songs, and with a respect for the audience and the music. Highly recommended.
There will be two more concerts this weekend, tonight at 8 and Sunday afternoon at
1. The Saturday concert is completely sold out, but a few tickets remain for Sunday's performance.
Garts is producer/host of the long-running radio program "Saturday Swing Session," heard on National Public Radio station WQLN-FM in Erie, PA (91.3FM) each Saturday evening from 8 until 11.

Undated Jazz Concert Review
Article headed "Jazz Sextet Dazzles Market House Audience." - By Bill Garts
This article might be titled "Easy Reviews - Part II." Last week, about this time, this reviewer mentioned that some music reviews are tough, while others are quite easy. Last week's was easy. This week's is easier by far.
On this past Friday evening, there was a musical happening at the Meadville Council on the Arts. A jazz sextet came to town, sponsored by the Allegheny Jazz Society, and thrilled an almost-capacity audience in the little Gardner Theatre, located on the second floor of the Meadville Market House.
Five members of the sextet come from the New York City area. The sixth member is from Costa Mesa, California. The New York contingent consists of the leader and master-of-ceremonies, Dan Levinson, playing clarinet, C-melody sax, and tenor sax. The pianist is Mark Shane. Randy Sandke, a marvelous musician, played cornet exclusively on Friday evening. Vince Giordano brought along his upright string bass, his tuba, and that most-noble of instruments, the bass saxophone. The young drummer, Kevin Dorn, 27, kept things moving nicely.
And from California came the master of the trombone, probably the finest trombonist in jazz today, Dan Barrett.
The first set opened with the 1922 composition "That Da-Da Strain," and was followed by the 1905 number "My Gal Sal," which featured very pretty cornet by Sandke, and C-melody sax by Levinson.
An up-tempo number from 1929, "Just You, Just Me" featured Levinson on tenor sax, with a very Vic Dickensonian trombone solo by Barrett.
Next came the first four-star performance of the evening, a slow, slippery version of "Margie," done by Barrett and the rhythm section. This reviewer first heard Barrett do "Margie" back in early November, 1990 at the Riverside Hotel in Cambridge Springs, and noted then that Joseph "Tricky Sam" Nanton, a master of mutes in the old Duke Ellington band, must surely be looking down and smiling. This number has become one of Barrett's calling cards; he uses the plunger mute to great advantage and good humor, even plays the seldom-heard verse unaccompanied. Just a great performance!
Another four-star number was the 1992 composition, "My Honey's Lovin' Arms," which featured pianist Shane in a Teddy Wilson groove, Levinson's low-register clarinet, another pretty solo by Sandke, and Barrett playing the lower register of the trombone.
Next came a lovely ballad medley, "These Foolish Things" featuring cornetist Sandke, "Embraceable You" by the Gershwin Brothers, featuring Levinson on tenor sax, Eubie Blake's 1930 "Memories Of You" done by Barrett, and Shane's very pretty version of "It's The Talk Of The Town."
The set ended with an up-tempo version of the 1923 composition "Linger Awhile."
This was another evening of superior music, played by the cream-of-the-crop of jazz musicians. Levinson is a fine player on any of his instruments, and his good-humored remarks and knowledge of the music keeps things moving nicely.
Sandke is a marvelous musician, seems to be able to play in any style, from Bix Beiderbecke to Dizzy Gillespie, and to do it convincingly. On Friday, as mentioned, he played cornet exclusively, and played with a mellowness that a trumpet can not provide.
Pianist Shane is the perfect musician for this group. Heavily influenced by Teddy Wilson, he is one of the few two-handed pianists left in jazz. On up-tempo numbers, hs has the Wilson "hop" down perfectly. On the slower numbers, he shows his lyrical side.
Giordano is a showman with the upright bass, and happens to be a very good bassist, too. He also plays tuba with authority, is a master of the bass saxophone, is also a very good vocalist.
The young drummer, Kevin Dorn, is developing into one of the finest drummers playing this style of music. He has been listening to recordings of some of the greats, such as Dave Tough, Cliff Leeman and George Wettling, and it shows.
Finally, trombonist Barrett continues to amaze with his versatility, musicianship and good humor. He is a marvelous player, and, as mentioned above, this reviewer considers him to be the finest jazz trombonist now playing.
There will be two more concerts this week-end. However, sad to say, both performances are completely sold out.

Undated Jazz Concert Review
Article headed "Jazz Fans Treated To `Ovette'ture." by Bill Garts
Sometimes the job of writing a review of a musical production can be troublesome.
Some productions almost write themselves, while others make a person struggle to find something of value.
Happily, the concert of last evening, held in the intimate Gardner Theatre of the Meadville Council on the Arts, was in the former category. Sponsored by the Allegheny Jazz Society, one fine vocalist, backed by four top-notch instrumentalists, pleased a small but enthusiastic audience.
The vocalist, Ericka Ovette, from the Washington, D. C. area, had the superior backing of jazz pianist Larry Eanet, guitarist Paul Pieper, bassist Steve Novosel and drummer Brooks Tegler, all also from the Washington, D. C. area.
The evening's first set opened unusually, with two semi-obscure compositions from pianist John Lewis, a longtime member of the Modern Jazz Quartet. The first, titled "Fontessa," was taken at medium tempo, featuring solos by Eanet and Pieper.
The second, also taken at medium tempo, was the quirky "Delaunay's Dilemna," also featuring piano and guitar solos. Both numbers rated four stars in this reviewer's notebook.
Vocalist Ovette then came on stage, and started charming the audience.
Her first number was "The Gentleman Is A Dope," which was followed by a beautiful version of Billy Strayhorn's equally beautiful "My Little Brown Book."
"As Long As I Live," by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler, was taken at a fast tempo, and this number was followed by something quite unexpected, a slow, poignant version of Joyce Kilmer's "Trees."
The title song of Ovette's latest compact disc, "Some Enchanted Evenng," featured a pretty piano solo by Eanet, and a fast version of Cole Porter's "Just One Of Those Things" gave the band a chance to stretch out.
Ovette then sat down with guitarist Pieper for a hushed medley from "The King And I," "He's Pleased With Me" and "We Kiss In A Shadow."
A four-star version of "This Can't Be Love" led into the closing number of the set, "The Best Is Yet To Come."
The evening was a textbook sample of what music should be about. Ovette is a marvelous vocalist. This reviewer, a record collector for many years, can close his eyes and hear a very young Sarah Vaughan, from the Musicraft Records days. She is a joy to watch because she sincerely enjoys her work. Expect great things from her in the future.
Pianist Eanet is also a joy to watch. He is a fine soloist and a great accompanist, and can play in almost any style.
Guitarist Pieper was unknown to this reviewer, and was a very pleasant surprise. His solos were very good, and his backing of the vocals flawless. Bassist Novosel, originally from Farrell, PA, played in the Meadville area a number of years ago and is now the regular bassist with pianist/vocalist Shirley Horn. He provided a steady beat all evening and had some excellent solos.
Drummer Tegler, a Gene Krupa disciple, was unobtrusive all evening, with the light touch needed for backing a vocalist. He also had some very nice breaks on the up-tempo numbers.
There will be two more concerts this week-end, tonight at 8 and Sunday afternoon at
1. Tickets remain for both concerts. This reviewer advises that you don't miss this group.
