RV J ZZ FESTIVA V L at J. OWEN GRUNDY PIER / JUNE 1
VA
In his Jersey City home, a 10-year-old Vic Juris picked up a guitar and never let go.
With near 30 recordings as a leader, Vic has also shared his phenomenal fl f exibility
with Larry Coryell, Sarah Vaughan, Jimmy Smith, James Moody and Dave Liebman.
Honored as a top guitarist by the Jazz Journalists Association, Vic has authored
numerous books on jazz guitar and technique. Vic's new recording, Ey E e CoC ntact
(Steeplechase) displays his inspiring interpretation of the music of Wayne Shorter,
Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, Jule Styne and Jimmy Van Heusen, alongside a rework-
ing of an original fr
f om his early recording days and the bossa-fl
f avored title track. Vic
fl
kicks off

RA
GATEWAY 2 / JUNE 6
Absorbing the rhythm-rich, dance-crazed atmosphere of his birthplace in the South
Bronx, master percussionist Ray Mantilla was playing Afr f o-Cuban rhythms with jazz
fr
harmonies early on with Ray Barretto and Eddie Palmieri. Ray quickly added steam
to bands led by Herbie Mann and Max Roach and he toured the world with Art
Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Ray's diversity included work with Charles Mingus, Cedar
Walton, Eartha Kitt and Shirley Scott. On his latest recording, Hi
Hig
igh Vo a e (Savant),
V ltag
ag
the percussive fi
f re and textures are all there, revisiting "Comin' Home Baby" and
"Cedar's Blues," a scorching "Solar" and some conguero call and response on Ron
Carter's "Third Plane." Ray's own "Lane Change" shows the versatility one can expect
f om any Mantilla moment. Ray's sure to have you dancing on your lunch hour!

BEHN GILLEC CE
HYATT NEW BRUNSWICK / JUNE 14
For vibraphonist Behn Gillece, teenage studies in classical percussion led to the jazz
world, where he's developed into a signifi f cant musical fo
fi f rce. Behn's quiet fi
f re on a
bebop smoker or a peacefu f l ballad statement can be heard on fo
fu f ur co-led recordings
with saxophonist Ken Fowser and three as leader fo f r the Posi-tone label, or as a wel-
come sideman on eff ffo

forts fr

and singer Melody Gardot. Behn's new off ffe

part of the group New Faces with trumpeter Josh Lawrence, saxophonist Roxy Coss,
pianist Theo Hill, bassist Peter Brendler and drummer Vinnie Sperrazza. They cele-

CARRIE JA J CKSON
1867 SANCTUARY R AT EWING / JUNE 16
RY
For Newark native Carrie Jackson, the spirit of song started at age 6 singing at Mount
Calvary Baptist Church and developed in school with piano and voice studies with
Duke Anderson, eventually singing profe f ssionally with Duke's big band. Comfo
fe f rtable
fo
in the worlds of jazz, pop, blues and gospel, Carrie and her musical fr
f iends regularly
share with audiences the spirit of Basie, Ellington, Armstrong, Gillespie and Waller,
spicing things up with the best of the Great American Songbook. Carrie's recording, A
T ibute to Sa
Tr S rah Va
V ug
u han, Ne ' Own (C-Jay) is a swinging, poignant acknowl-
N wark's
's
edgement to The Divine One, divinely done. Whether it's "This Can't Be Love," "On
the Street Where You Live" or "Send in the Clowns," Carrie embraces jazz standards
with style and grace to make these gems her own.
