2/5/2024 0 Comments Omer adam concert new york![]() Today my subject is advertising art at its most sweetly distinctive. There will be only three minutes of music on this post, but you can follow my lead to YouTube, where many of these recordings are waiting for your tender, approving touch. I saw an eBay site devoted to jazz records from Denmark, and was thrilled by the more ornate labels of the records themselves and the beautifully creative sleeves. It is about the beauty of the ordinary: the paper sleeves once personalized by record stores. However, this post isn’t primarily about the recorded obsession. I am slowly getting back into 78-record collecting, thanks to Matthew “Fat Cat” Rivera, and I emphasize “slowly”: no bidding wars, and many of the records I’ve purchased would be considered “common” by more well-established collectors, although I will - immodestly - begin with a picture of a record I treasure, bought a few years ago. Hail Ryan Calloway and his bandmates, and Professor Baker! That was fun, and you’ve gotten some post-graduate music and education also. HIGH SOCIETY, for Alphonse Picou and all the giants who play(ed) it: ![]() LOUIS BLUES, for Larry Shields and the ODJB: WOLVERINE BLUES, for Jelly Roll Morton and his clarinetists: JUST TELEPHONE ME, for Tom Sharpsteen and the New Orleans revival players: ORIENTAL MAN, for Dodds and Jimmy Blythe: JUST A LITTLE WHILE TO STAY HERE, for Willie Humphrey: (More musical than my doctoral orals.) Clint plays trumpet here Riley Baker, trombone Hal Smith, drums Jeff Hamilton, piano Katie Cavera, string bass Bill Reinhart, Jess King, banjo. This dapper young man spent eight years studying Albert-system clarinet under the tutelage of Professor Baker, and you’ll hear the delicious results. Take your seat: the fun’s about to begin. Clint guides us through the subject, so I don’t have to write much, but this set is a joyous exploration into music that we take for granted, and players unjustly neglected in the rush to celebrate the newest and the most photogenic. I know that “seminar,” to some, will mean a dry academic exercise. The star-studded concert took place in mid July, in the midst of an intense Israeli summer heatwave.“Don’t be afraid,” Clint says to some audience members, timidly straggling in to this session at the Jazz Bash by the Bay, and I would echo his words. And Omer delivered, selling all 50,000 tickets in less than 24 hours. After all, it’s not every day that an Israeli artist fills a space as large as this. So when Omer Adam announced a concert at Park HaYarkon, the Israeli music community observed with great interest. The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Paul McCartney, and most recently, Jennifer Lopez, have all performed there, entertaining tens of thousands of Israeli fans willing to pay high prices for tickets. Park HaYarkon is Israel’s biggest stage, typically reserved for the largest international acts visiting Israel. Omer’s recent sold-our performance at Park HaYarkon in Tel Aviv only solidified his status. Over the past ten years, he skyrocketed in popularity to become one of Israel’s top artists…if not THE most popular Israeli singer of 2019. However, that didn’t stop him from launching a successful music career.
