Leni Stern - guitarAlex Nolan - guitar

Mauricio Zottarelli - drums

A remarkably gifted saxophonist-composer and in-demand session player,

who performed and recorded with many of

Brazils biggest stars such as Rosa Passos,

Guinga and Simone, Srgio Galvo is a

talent worthy of wider recognition beyond his

home base in Rio de Janeiro. His debut record,

Phantom Fish, released in 2013, is a showcase for

Galvos engaging tunes and potent playing on tenor and soprano saxes. His current

group features New York musicians who manage to depict

the spirit of the city: a fusion of Brazilian grooves and harmonies

with American jazz.

Lucian Ban is a jazz pianist, composer, ar-

ranger and bandleader.

By Nora McCarthy

Jazz Inside: Lucian, it is so wonderful to speak

to you and have you share your personal story

and musical insights to the readers of Jazz In-

side and our latest additionJazz Outside, be-

cause you truly cover both those elements of

jazz as well as the many components that com-

prise your particular sound with its overtones of

classical, folk, world and chamber music. You

are an extremely gifted artist who truly has his

own expressive voice. Since your arrival to New

York in 1999 from your native Romania, you

and your various groups are steadily rising up

the ranks and are being heard and recognized

as being at the forefront of contemporary mod-

ern jazz. Since this is not an easy business by

any stretch, please tell me what has the journey

thus far been like for you including some of the

most important first impressions you had of the

city, what it was like breaking onto the New

York City scene, some of the artists that helped

you and the lessons you have learned about the

business itself?

Lucian Ban: Its a pleasure to talk to you and to

talk to the readership of the magazine. I really

appreciate your comprehensive introduction of

who I am and I think you described it quite well.

I moved from Romania to New York City in

1999 to follow my career. I wanted bigger chal-

lenges and as everybody knows being from the

states or from wherever in the world, if you

really like this music, you have to pass through

New York in some way. You dont have to stay

here necessarily forever but you have to pass

through the Big Apple in order to experience the

extraordinary richness of the scene. Now, there

has been a lot of stuffits been almost fifteen

years now since Ive been hereIve been for-

tunate and honored to work with some of the

amazing musicians who have been an influence

and of tremendous help to me. I will have to

mention first the one that introduced me into the

scene actually and that I ended up working with

and recording with, the great baritone saxo-

phone player from Detroit, Alex Harding. He

was one of the first ones that I started working

with professionally in the city and then we went

on and did my debut recording in the states with

him as a duet, followed immediately by a quin-

tet album. But, he was the one who introduced

me into the scene and Im deeply indebted to

him and also for the lessons that I got from him

because Alex comes from a long tradition in

this music, so that was a wonderful opportunity

for me to get into this music. Even though I

came to the New School and sort of transferred

from the conservatory in Bucharest to New

York New School and did close to two years,

still the experience that you get by playing with

the real cats that do this music, its unparalleled

and cannot be replaced by any school experi-

encenot to diminish the good stuff that you

get in school. After that, I followed up with

different bands: quintet and then trios and then

sextets.

JI: Was it easy for you to do this or were you

making the scene like the rest of us do? What

did you think when you got here, this is a big

mountain to climb to make your way? Where

was the first club where you said, let me just

go into this club and see if I can meet some-

body? Did you introduce yourself? Is that how

you did it or what?

LB: Well my first shock was actually very early

on, one of the first days I went to New School. I

just got to the school and I was hanging around

and I saw some people playing in one of the

rehearsal roomsand they were playing their

asses off. Little did I know at that point, they

were my colleagues in the same class Robert

Glasper, the Strickland brothers, and they were

already working professionally but they were

there to get their degrees and to study. But, this

was the first sort of shock, I said, OK, if this is

the level then its going to be really an actual

thing for me. It turned out that they were the

best of our class. I really had just the bad luck of

seeing them first. But then I started working and

of course it wasnt easy. And, not even now,

after recording and releasing so many albums

for independent and major labels, like ECM

Records, its still hard work and its still, you

know.

JI: Did you fall in love when you came to this

city? Did you go, Wow, I love it here?

LB: I loved the city. I had been here before I

moved to New York to study. I had been here

two or three times visiting. I love the city but

its also a jungle. I just came from a tour in Cali-

fornia and it was very illuminating for me. One

of the mornings I went out, we were in San

Diego, I went out and people were so relaxed,

walking their dogs on the beach, and I remem-

bered how intense New York is compared to

that. So yes, New York is a very intense and

unmerciful city in a way. But at the same time

you also have the intense creativity in all direc-

tions of this music, this is a big reward. But

most of it is the amazing pool of people playing

amazing music in New York. Which means you

can interact with them and work with them. Ive

worked with many musicians that I knew from

records that influenced me, so thats a treat that

you can only get in New York. I started a band

with Bob Stewart because I always loved the

examples that Arthur Blythe had with Bob

Stewart. So to be able to work with Bob Stewart

was incredible and we still have a band to-

getherits like a connection to the whole tradi-

tion. It is a very learning, humbling experience

and its not easy but Im glad Im able to do it.

JI: Where was your first gig?

LB: My first gig was at a place that Id play

every other week throughout the year called

Gaslight on the corner of 14th St. and 9th Ave-

nue. Now its a hip place, but when I started

playing there they still had the real meat busi-

ness going on in that area, and all the crazy stuff

going on around there. That whole area has

changed now its all fashion boutiques, you

know. I was working with Damian Reid on

drums, Erik Torrente on alto, Alexand it was

a very good thing because it was regular. I was

able to try out stuff on a consistent basis and to

expose myself. That was my first gig. Then I

remember the next one. I sent a CD with some

of the recordings I had to a club in Soho called

Kavehaz. I didnt hear back from them for eight

months. Then I started playing there. I remem-

ber I had some really good times there because

by that time, I think I released my debut CD for

CIMP Records which was very well received

the duet with Alex Harding. Then, I had a quin-

tet with Alex, Damian Reid, Chris Dahlgren and

Erik Torrente and we had different bands. We

worked under the moniker of Lumination En-

semble where me and Alex would run the band,

but would invite different people in and thats

when we started working with Barry Altschul

on drums, Josh Roseman, Jorge Sylvester, Sam

Newsomethats how I got to meet all these

wonderful people and in 2003. One of the shows

at Kavehaz with Barry Altschul got named one

of the best shows in the city along with Cecil

Taylor and Joe Lovano concerts. That was our

first recognition in the city. And then, I started

working all around with all kinds of people and

doing different projects and just kept at it, as

they say.

JI: Going back a bit to your earliest beginnings

in the music, talk a bit about your family, your

musical training and when you were first in-

spired to play jazz.

LB: I grew up in a city in the middle of Transyl-

vania. My parents are not in the music but my

father was in the music, he went to the music

school and studied bassoon but he gave that up

due to the times in Romania late fifties into

the sixties, communism was in full swing there,

so there was no time for jazz or music in gen-

eral. So his parents steered him into a different

direction but I guess I got my musical genes

from him. We always had good music around

the house. My father loved Motown all of the

great music of the sixties. I would say the only

jazz that he had around, because he was not into

jazz, he was mostly into the great rock, R&B

and soul stuff of the sixties. He didnt have too

much jazz. Obviously he had Ray Charles, Are-

tha Franklin, some Mahalia Jackson and this

kind of stuff. This was my early connection with

this music, but no jazz per se. But later on I got

drawn into the piano somehow. I remember

skipping school to just go play piano. We didnt

have a piano at home, but I would go places

where they had pianos, and just sneak into the

rehearsal rooms the conservatory in our city

and everywhere and played the piano and just

improvised. Then I got a professor and I started

studying more formally and then I heard a pian-

ist who was my first influence and is still one of

my big influences, a pianist from South Africa.

His name is Abdullah Ibrahim. He is also

known under the name Dollar Brand. He was

my first introduction into proper jazz if I can

put it this way. Then somebody told me that if I

liked this guy I should get in touch with some-

one in our city who knew about jazz, a pianist

who could help me. I met this guy who was of

Hungarian decent, Gyorgy Joldt, and it was a

blessing because he was sort of a mentor for me.

He had over 2,000 LPs which behind the iron

curtain, that was like a bonanza and he knew

seriously about this music. He steered me

slowly from Abdullah Ibrahim into Monk, Bud

Powell and then everybody else. He was very

(Continued from page 4)


Lucian Ban

I always compose for the people I work with ...

I write for their individual voices. This is the

lesson of Duke Ellington ... I dont write for tenor

saxophone, I write for Abraham [Burton] or for

Tony Malaby which is very different even

though they play the same instrument.

passionate about it and I remember we had two

meetings every week and we would just listen to

records. Id play piano with him and I had to

pay for this. It was symbolic because he would

give me the albums and I would copy them onto

cassette. You have to understand this guy had

very rare stuff. He was in connection with peo-

ple like Paul Bley. He showed me some albums

that he had with Paul Bley and Ornette Cole-

manthat later on he had to take them off the

market because I think Don Cherry sued him or

something, but he was signed by these people. I

learned tremendously from him and not only the

major names but also the secondary ones peo-

ple like Jimmy Rowles, the pianist. Aside from

the big ones, this mentor of mine, would intro-

duce me to the whole range of what this music

meant, all the secondary ones, Joe Albany,

Dodo Marmarosa. These are very forgotten cats

and one of my favorite piano albums is a duet of

Jimmy Rowles with Ray Brown, very unknown.

They did two LPs. It was on a CD that was reis-

sued sometime later but it is one of my all time

favorite piano and bass albums. By the time I

moved to the states, I sort of already knew the

history of this music, I did my homeworkin a

waynot all of it. This is my background in

Romania. Then I started playing in Romania and

then I started putting my first trio, the quartet

and quintet together and after the fall of the

communist regime in 1989. There was a big

opening and the first jazz program at the Uni-

versity of Bucharest and I moved there, and I

started putting my first bands together. It was a

lot of energy and intensity.

JI: How old were you?

LB: Twenty-four. I was a young buck as they

say. I did my first album there for a label in

Bucharest, Green Records, which was a strange

mix of Art Blakey and Sun Ra. I was working

with some African percussion players who were

stranded in Bucharest and those were good

times but I wanted more. So this is my Roma-

nian background. I also studied classical once I

got into the jazz program at the Bucharest Acad-

emy of Music, I got the great luck to be able to

study classical composition with Anatol Vieru,

he was a student of Tchaikovsky and one of

Romanias biggest contemporary classical com-

posers. He lectured a lot in the states, he was

one of the Post Serialist, contemporary classical

composermodal-type of things. He was very

involved with mathematics and music. From

him I learned the great tradition. I wrote string

quartet sonatas and fugues. I learned Bach and

all that sort of stuff. He gave me a serious foun-

dation in learning in terms of what we call now

European Classical Music. From him, I acquired

more and developed more my love for writing

music. Initially I never told him I was into jazz.

I thought he would be ... well you know, be-

cause he was very old when I started studying

with him, in his seventies. So he was part of a

different generation and I wasnt sure if he

would be open to me being so in love with jazz,

so I never told him for the three years that I

studied with him and he always said, Lucian

you will be a composer, you need to graduate

and you need to focus on composition because

you have real talent for this. In the end I had to

tell him that what I really wanted to do was jazz

and I wanted to move to New York. To my sur-

prise he said, Why didnt you say something? I

love jazz, its just that I dont know much about

it. So this guy, were talking about a composer

that knows serious stuff about European classi-

cal music and he was still humble enough to say

that he does not know about jazz, but he loves it.

JI: This is where the marriage took place with

you between the jazz and the classical, right

there. You were on both sides of the coin, the

opposite ends of the spectrum, I think. The way

Im hearing your story, it seems like the music

chose you Lucian, the way you found your way

to it, but it was shining on you and it was direct-

ing you and then it was pouring into you all

these various elements, thats why I find this

kind of question so interesting, how did you

form?

LB: I guess you are right, exactly. I didnt form

myself as the past generation of jazz musicians

formed themselves, working with the past mas-

ters then to the bandstand and being part of the

community in America. I got some of that later

when I moved to New York but my formation

as a musician and as a jazz musician was not

part of this. It was one of the reasons I wanted to

come to America but it was not part of this. Im

also very upfront about this. I did not study and

never had, unfortunately, the chance to hear Art

Blakey, you know. But Im coming from a

slightly different angle. But as Lee Konitz said,

and I always loved this saying, Nobody owns

form and variations.

JI: Thats right. Another thing I look at it like

thisMother Jazz, when she started, knew she

had to sustain herself and continue. You cant

continue and not allow the rest of the universe

to pour into you. So what she started to do was

to spread herself out over the entire globe so

that the next levels of musicians that would

follow would be adding more and more in order

for her to continue to blossom and grow, be-

cause I believe that is her very nature she started

off with this very rich seed and continued to

expand and develop herself.

LB: Im living proof of that. What does jazz

have to do with a guy from Transylvania ending

up in New York? Its because jazz has become

this universal music, and Im not the only one.

Everybody that loves jazz from all over the

world, they come to New York.

JI: It could not have survived in a vacuum

nothing canbecause the very nature of it is to

explore and to discover and move on, it has to

keep goingself perpetuating. You grew up in

Cluj, Transylvania, Romania. I find the country

you came from so romantic and mysterious

sort of like many of your compositions. What is

it like there? What was it like growing up there

in terms of the jazz music sceneis it a very

rural or cosmopolitan city? And compared to

when you grew up there, what is it like now

with regard to jazz and how has your success

influenced others to take up the jazz torch or has

it?

LB: I was born in Cluj, I grew up in a village

about sixty miles from Cluj with my grandpar-

ents. It was in the country till I was seven and

then I came back to my parents into the city,

which is the biggest city in Transylvania. The

city of Cluj itself is very close to the village

where Bartok was born and did a lot of his col-

lection work. So Constanta was part of the Aus-

trian/Hungarian empire. This is the geographical

positioning of the whole thing. Now Im touring

like once or twice a year, I get to go to Romania

to play. I play three to five concerts and its

always a pleasure. Its gotten much better now.

It was obviously after the fall of Communism.

We had the forces of free market coming. So,

yes it was open to jazz but the survival game

also moved in so we lost all of the state support

that we used to have before that. But now it is

getting a little better and Im happy to say that

there is growing interest from young people for

this music. There are several festivals, not as

many as in the western European countries but

there are about six festivals throughout the year

and there is a very small but healthy scene.

Theres young musicians that I know and actu-

ally Im going to go on a tour to promote the

Transylvanian Concert ECM album with Mat

Maneri and Im going to also do a workshop

and a lecture for the jazz department at the Bu-

charest Music Academy talking about the world

scene and how can you articulate to become

what you want to become as a jazz musician,

both in terms of technical aspects

improvisation and approaches to this music and

in terms of how to navigate and find your own

voice. Im happy to say that I can share my ex-

perience with all the other musicians.

JI: Are you the Jazz Ambassador of Romania?

How do you see yourself? In what ways have

you been honored and supported by your coun-

try and how many groups and artists have you

introduced to the people back home? Are there

many jazz enthusiasts in Romania?

LB: I see myself as a New Yorker, an American

musician of Romania origin. I live in New York

and my life is in New York. Im also an Ameri-

can citizen now but my origin is from Eastern

Europe, one can never escape those things. Even

though at some point I wanted to, it came back

to haunt me. I was fortunate enough to be able

to present a lot of my projects in Romania. I do

European tours and always, when possible, try

to get to Romania. I was there with Elevation. I

was there with the duet with Mat Maneri. I was

there obviously with Enesco Re-Imagined,

which was a commission of the huge Enesco

Festival. I was there with Sam Newsome in

various incarnations. I was there with Alex

Harding and the Tuba Project and so I was for-

tunate enough to be able to present these amaz-

ing and very known musicians to the Romanian

audiences.

Jazz Inside: Id like to talk about your work

and your current projects. Currently you lead

three groups and co-lead four am I right? What

are they?

LB: I have three or four groups that are con-

stantly alive and working. I have the duet with

Mat Maneri which we just did the ECM album

and its doing very well; it is very unique. Then

I have Elevation Quartet with Abraham Burton

and John Hebert or Drew Gress on bass and Eric

McPherson or Nasheet Waits on drums. Then

there is Enesco Re-Imagined which is a larger

ensemble dedicated to the musical genius

George Enesco which features Tony Malaby,

Ralph Alessi, Mat Maneri, Joyce Hammann,

Gerald Cleaver, Badal Roy and John Hebert.

There is Asymmetry with Jorge Sylvester, and

various amazing rhythm sections including Brad

Jones, Gene Jackson, and Derrek Phillips. The

Tuba Project is with Bob Steward, Bruce Wil-

liams, Alex Harding and various drummers over

the yearsDerrek Phillips, Willard Dyson and

some other people. These are some of the pro-

jects that I mostly work now and there is some

new stuff coming in.

JI: You have an ever growing discography, lets

talk about your body of work, First, your duo

project with violist, Mat Maneri and the new

CD Transylvanian Concert CD on ECM Re-

cords which has garnered amazing press feed-

back so far on both sides of the Atlantic from

the major press like NY Times, LA Times, The

Guardian etc. How did your collaboration with

Mat come about and whats it like working with

him then talk briefly about the compositions on

the albumI find this CD absolutely stunning.

LB: I knew about Mat since the mid 2000s but

I first heard him live at the Vanguard with the

Paul Motian Band. So, I knew of him from the

scene. He was recommended to me when I was

putting together the ensemble with John Hebert

that would become Enesco Re-Imagined and

initially I wanted to have a cello player and Eric

Friedlander was in my mind. I talked to him but

he could not do it. Then Nasheet Waits recom-

mended Mat Maneri to me saying that he would

be amazing for this project and he was right

because Mat was an amazing voice in an ensem-

ble of stunning musicians. Enesco Re-Imagined

featured Ralph Alessi on trumpet; Tony Malaby

on tenor; a violinist from Germany, Albrecht

Maurer; Gerald Cleaver on drums; John Hebert

on bass and orchestrations; and, Badal Roy on

tabla. These are all amazing musicians with

strong personalities, but Mat had something

special and made that ensemble sound even

better. The way we started working as a duet

was very simple. When I did Enesco Re-

Imagined we didnt have too much time for

rehearsal. Some of the scores are re-

orchestrations of classical works by George

Enesco and on one of them, a sonata, I said,

Piano and viola open intro improv. We never

got to rehearse this obviously so when we got to

premier this at the Enesco Festival in Bucharest

in 2009, it was the first time I played in duet

with Mat and it ended up on the album. The

chemistry was amazing. We never had the

chance to rehearse or play as a duet at all before

but from the first note [the introduction was

about three minutes], it was amazing because

right after the concert Mat and I said, we need to

work more as a duet. Then Enesco Re-Imagined

came out and got amazing press and we got to

tour and thats how out of these tunes I got to

work with Mat as a duet because wed stay over

in Europe a little longer and do stuff. Then we

did other projects. In 2011, I was touring with

Mat with a more slightly stranger project with

video and electronics working on the films of

Andrei Tarkovsky the great Russian film direc-

tor. A friend from a city in Transylvania called

me and wanted to present me in Trgu Mures.

We had some days off so Mat and I went there

and I had never known about the amazing venue

that they had, The Opera, an opera house built at

the beginning of the twentieth century in Trgu

Mures, a little city in the midst of Transylvania.

It has about 1,000 seats, typical Viennese Aus-

trian type opera, amazing hall, amazing acous-

tics and amazing piano because the Philhar-

monic is there. We did a concert and we knew it

was good because we had a good feeling after it

New Album


and a good reaction from the audience. Some-

body had came before the show and asked if

they could record it for the radio to be played

there and I agreed but said I wanted a copy.

When the guy sent us the copy, both Mat and I

went Whoa, this is very nice interesting stuff;

we should do something with it. Mat sent it out

to some people that we had worked with in the

past. ECM was immediately interested and also

the first to get back to us which was a treat be-

cause ECM is such an amazing label for more

than five decades. I also think that the music fits

their aesthetic. I thought that Manfred Eicher

would just book a studio when he came to New

York and wed do an album for them. But he

actually got back to me and said that he wanted

this recording, the original source, he said, We

love this and wed like to put it out. It was

Manfred who actually gave the title to the al-

bum, Transylvanian Concert. I had originally

called it, Deco Heart, because we have a tune

with that title, and subtitled it Transylvanian

Concert. The pieces that we worked on were

very unique. I wrote them for Mat and Mat

wrote something and theres a solo rendition by

Mat of, Nobody Knows the Trouble Ive

Seen. The pieces we wrote for the duet its

hard for me to describe them, because they are

like a melting pot. There are so many things

going on. Of course, Mat is an amazing violion-

ist and violist in modern jazz. Hes one of the

great improvisers, who has always been con-

nected with avant-garde even though he doesnt

think of himself as an avant-garde player. He is

the son of Joe Maneri who was very seriously

involved with micro-tonal music. There is a

broad range of stuff that is going on in that al-

bum, but the pieces themselves, in a way are

rather simple with quirks. What makes this work

is the musical and human chemistry that we

have. Its basically that we complement each

other musically extremely well. We had a great

venue, a great audience and a great pianoand

you know, great things happened. This is the

genesis of the album. Im really happy about it

and that it got great press and reviews from the

audience. Im happy to work with ECM Records

because it is such an amazing label and also to

be on the same label with all of the great musi-

cians from Art Ensemble of Chicago to Lester

Bowie to Keith Jarrett, Paul Bley, you name it.

Its an honor.

JI: Every creative artist covets the honor of

being on ECM thats for sure. Let me ask you

this now, your group Elevation Quartet consists

of Abraham Burton, tenor saxophone, John

Hbert, bass and Eric McPherson, drums. Ive

heard this group and it fantastic. Abraham Bur-

ton is a knockout powerhouse of a player, in-

credibly fluent on his instrument, Eric McPher-

son is one of my favorite New York drummers,

who has a lot of chops and high energy as well

as the ability to be sensitive, and John Hbert

and yourself are what I regard as the enigmatic

glue of the group that holds it together and gives

it its nuance. The new album Mystery was just

released. It is a live performance captured Janu-

ary 29, 2010 at the Cornelia Street Caf in New

York City. You composed all the music but

share compositional credits with Burton and

McPherson on one piece. Talk about this group,

where are you playing next, how the group

came about.

LB: My first collaboration with Abraham Bur-

ton came via the great drummer Bruce Cox. I

think we did some stuff back in the day at Kave-

haz with Bruce. I loved Abrahams sound and

concept from the very first moment. Abraham

comes from strong tradition. He studied under

Jackie McLean and his sound is amazing but

what I like most about him is not that he knows

the great hard bop and bop traditions so well its

the melodic sense. This may surprise some peo-

ple who know Abraham and look at him maybe

in a different way, I think Abraham has an im-

peccable sense of melody and its all very sin-

cere. When we started working together, he

loved playing on the stuff that I was bringing to

the bandstand, like new material, which by the

way, I always compose for the people I work

with. From the very first album with Alex,

through all of the stuff that I did I write for

their individual voices. This is the lesson of

Duke Ellington. I dont write for baritone saxo-

phone, I write for Alex Harding. I dont write

for tenor saxophone, I write for Abraham or for

Tony Malaby which is very different even

though they play the same instrument. We had a

very good vibe when we were playing together

and Abraham played my music with so much

intensity and sincerity that obviously we had to pur-
