LYNNE ARRIALE ~ GREG TARDY Adjudicator

The Lynne Arriale Trio has toured extensively throughout Europe, the UK, and the US in support of their newest release "Inspiration," which recently hit # 1 on the nation­al charts and won the German CD Critic's Award. The trio, featuring bassist, Jay Anderson, and drummer, Steve Davis, has been described by Grammy award-winning jazz critic, Bob Blumenthal, as "one of the most empathetic three­somes in jazz," and as hav­ing "a shared metabolism," has been winning accolades for its almost telepathic inter­action, forged over the past eight years. Their unique, lyrical, pas­sionate voice has captured international audiences at Ireland's Cork Festival, The

Montreux Jazz Festival, the North Sea Jazz Festival, Pori Festival, and the very presti­gious "100 Golden Fingers" tour of Japan, a bill that Lynne shared with jazz greats Hank Jones, Tommy Flanagan, Kenny Barron, Cedar Walton, and Monty Alexander. Lynne has seduced fans and critics alike with the expressive passion and melodic virtuosity which earned her first place at the Great American Jazz Piano Competition. She has dedi­cated herself exclusively to the Lynne Arriale Trio in developing her own unique trio sound in the tradition of the great jazz trios.

Greg Tardy grew up in a very musical environment. "Living in New Orleans when I was a kid, I was con­stantly around all different types of music. I remember hearing opera from an early age (because my parents are both opera singers), church music and R&B such as James Brown." Tardy began playing clarinet after third grade, studying classical music. While studying classi­cal music in college, he started being hired on tenor sax for gigs and, after he was introduced to the music of John Coltrane, his clarinet was left behind to gather dust. He did resume dou­bling on clarinet again a few years ago, but the tenor has proven to be his main voice. After spending a year play­

i. ing jazz and blues in St. Louis, Tardy returned to New Orleans where he worked

I~ with a variety of R&B, funk and jazz groups, and artists such as trumpeter Nicholas Payton. In 1992, he led his first album (Crazy Love). "My mother sings a bit on that record, which makes it particularly special to me. The next year, when Ravi Coltrane left Elvin Jones' band, they were looking for a tenor player and Nicholas Payton recommended me. It was my big break and sud­denly I was traveling all over the world with one of the

greatest jazz musicians who ever lived. I gained a great deal of confidence during that period." The association with Elvin Jones helped both Tardy's playing and his name recognition. After a second period in St. Louis (where he worked with Russell Gunn), Tardy moved to New York at the end of 1994. Gregory Tardy has been a major part of the jazz scene, having important associa­tions with quite a few top jazz artists including Tom Harrell, Andrew Hill, Dave Douglas, John Patitucci, Wynton Marsalis, Jay McShann, Steve Coleman, James Moody and Rashied Ali. For the fUture, Gregory Tardy says, "1 still have a lot of original music that I look forward to recording. I hope to keep this band together for a long time and continue playing challenging jobs as a sideman. In general, I just take life day-by-day and try to develop into the best musi­cian I can, always dedicat­ing my work to God."
