Norman Provizer Share Though you didn’t find very much in the way of jazz on the delayed Grammy Awards show, it did, in its own way, serve as a strong tribute to Chick Corea who passed from the scene on February 9, 2021. The Chick from Chelsea won a Grammy for best-improvised jazz solo and a second award for best jazz instrumental album. The first was for his work on “All Blues” on the Trilogy 2 disc, while the second named that same disc (that has Brian Blade on drums and Christian McBride on bass) as the best instrumental jazz release of the year.

This week there are several streaming events to consider. First, on Sunday at noon MT, there’s a celebration of “40 Years in Yiddishland,” marking the 40th anniversary of the Klezmer Conservatory Band and the Yiddish Book Center.
At this juncture, klezmer (the folk musical sounds of Eastern European Jews) has reintegrained itself into the American music scene and the Klezmer Conservatory Band has played a key role in that. Interestingly, there is a Denver connection here due to presence of the great clarinetist Don Byron in an early version of this Klezmer band. Later Byron would spend two years in Denver directing Metro State University’s Jazz and American Improvised Music Program before returning to the East Coast.
