The British tenor saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings pawed the stage with his bare feet on Saturday night at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn as he led his trio through a soaring set of crackling originals. Neither leg stayed on the ground for long; it was as if he were constantly making sure the floor was still there, that his saxophone hadn’t lifted him up and away. With an effervescent, Antillean rhythm rising behind him, he emitted a powerful energy from his horn, but vested each note with its own shape and sensitivity. Mr. Hutchings’s trio — with Moses Boyd on drums and Theon Cross on tuba — was playing the final set in a three-act bill that repeated Monday night at Nublu 151 in Lower Manhattan. It was an after-party for the Afropunk Festival that afternoon, and a showcase of young British jazz acts. Both concerts were presented by Jazz Re:freshed, a small British organization that for the last 14 years has fostered young and diverse talents in London. For the American listener who’s … [Read more...] about Ambassadors of London’s Rebooted, Revitalized Jazz Scene Come to New York

When the luminous soprano Lise Davidsen released her first solo album several years ago, she faced criticism over her repertoire. Chiefly, that while she was just in her early 30s she had chosen to record Strauss’s autumnal “Four Last Songs.” In an interview then , her characteristic geniality gave way to exasperation. “It pisses me off a little bit that you have to be a certain age to feel certain feelings,” she said. “Teenagers have all those feelings, and more, in a day.” With more measured calm, she added: “But I do believe that I’m entitled to take on those feelings, to take on the difficulties in life. That’s our job in opera.” She challenged doubters again on Monday when Strauss’s “Der Rosenkavalier” returned to the Metropolitan Opera with Davidsen, 36, making her role debut as the Marschallin — a character more typically portrayed by seasoned grandes dames.
