Ben crosland (new album ‘solway stories’).

Bass guitarist/bandleader Ben Crosland’s new album Solway Stories , recorded in the lockdown window in September 2020, is ‘a very personal record ‘, ‘an homage to a beautiful border landscape, and to pivotal relationships it evokes for the composer’. Feature by John Fordham

John Fordham writes: Across three fruitful decades playing his own laid-back mix of bebop, jazz-rock, pop hooks and swing, the Huddersfield composer, bass guitarist and bandleader Ben Crosland has been steadily rubbing home the message that you don’t have to be a Londoner to make an enduring mark on the UK jazz scene, or turn up the volume to flag up excitement, or follow fashionable notions of what cultural references are in or out.

Crosland is an affable maverick who began leading his own groups back in the day in 1990, after studying electric bass with the late great Jeff Clyne at the Wavendon Summer Jazz Courses, and gigging in his 20s and 30s in countless pub outfits, function bands and house rhythm sections for international guests including American swing stars Ken Peplowski and Harry Allen on the northern circuit. In the years since, his fine lineups have included such UK luminaries as saxophonist Alan Skidmore, trumpeter Steve Waterman and pianist Steve Lodder, and mixed his own repertoire between hip originals and classics from all over jazz, fusion, and pop.

Crosland’s canny arranger’s skills and palpable affection for one of his first teenage musical loves eventually propelled him to a late-career homage to the music of Ray Davies and The Kinks, with the 2016 album The Ray Davies Songbook, which even included a jazz-reggae version of ‘Sunny Afternoon’. The Observer’s Dave Gelly wrote of Crosland’s warmly quirky interpretations of those already quirky hits: ‘By recasting them in the jazz idiom and delicately elaborating their harmonies (Crosland) brings them out in a fresh glow.’ But if by his 60s this intuitively musical craftsman knew everything worth knowing about how an idiomatically open jazz band is supposed to work, and had a wide enough circle of acclaimed playing partners and long-time jazz friends to assemble very classy lineups, Ben Crosland was about to hit a new challenge – one that he had reluctantly grown used to expecting from an emotional perspective, but was surprised to discover could become a musical one too.

‘In 2019, when she was almost 102, my mum died’, Crosland explains, ‘but during the years leading to her death, after a fantastic life, she had started to change. It’s hard to see somebody you love starting to melt away. She’d been in hospital, then came home for end of life care, and I looked after her. A friend said to me “write some music – channel your feelings”.’

The popularity of the Ray Davies repertoire had made it Ben Crosland’s main agenda between 2015 and 2018, and in that period, as he candidly puts it, ‘I wasn’t doing much original music, so I didn’t know if I had any compositional skill left.’ But a special memory of his life with his mother returned to rekindle it. The pair had taken a road trip from Cumbria up to the Solway Firth on a holiday in July 1988 – Dorothy Crosland always liked calling these kind of trips ‘going for a spin in the motor’ – and Ben had noted down the fascinating names of the places they saw, intending to write music inspired by them one day.

‘Thirty years later, when I was caring for her, I happened to see Richard Thompson performing his song Beeswing on YouTube: Beeswing was one of those place names I had written down thirty years before’ Crosland recalls. ‘And that triggered the memory of that trip so I finally started writing the music – five new tunes in fortnight, unprecedented for me. I wrote seven more over the next 18 months, including a piece called Dulce Cor (Every Step Of The Way) , Dulce Cor being Latin for Sweetheart – it was the nickname given in 1275 to the founder of New Abbey, Dervorguilla of Galloway, by its Cistercian monks as a term of affection. Mum and I visited Sweetheart Abbey on our road trip. Following her death, I recorded a version of it with the saxophonist Rod Mason, who’s a great friend and has been a significant figure on the northern jazz scene for years, and that recording was played at my mum’s funeral. And I later re-recorded it for the album, as a tribute to mum’.

Ben Crosland had intended the music to be recorded in March 2020, and then taken on the road this year on a 70th birthday tour, before unprecedented events put paid to that. So this month, he finally releases all 12 of the pieces written in that poignant period in his life as Solway Stories, an homage to a beautiful border landscape, and to the pivotal relationships it evokes for the composer – not only with his late mother, but with the musical inspirations that have also guided his life. The brightly jazz-rockish Driving North, with its dancing bassline, Steve Lodder ‘s gleaming Rhodes keyboard sound and Chris Allard ‘s Methenyish guitar break, recalls the fusion transformations in jazz in the 1970s decade of Crosland’s emergence as a player. Beeswing is also joyously upbeat, not least for a sleek bebop trumpet improvisation from Steve Waterman , and the catchy Powfoot – nodding to UK jazz-rockers Nucleus and to Herbie Hancock’s iconic 1970s Headhunters sound in its wah-wah bass hook – reinforces the session’s reminders of indelible memories being celebrated. Crosland’s knack for pretty tunes is evident on the lilting Almorness Point , whilst Steve Waterman locks into early-Miles bebop fluency on A L’il Sark Funk . But Dulce Cor (Every Step of the Way), with its dreamy acoustic piano intro and tender Waterman trumpet melody, is a lyrical highlight of the set, showcasing Crosland’s care over the sound of the whole ensemble, as well as the delicate lyricism of the tune.

Ben Crosland describes Solway Stories as ‘a very personal record’, but the recording session itself, as well as the story that occasioned it, seems certain to remain a lifelong memory for him. When he and Lodder got together with Waterman, Allard, and drummer Dylan Howe at folk-rock guitarist Graeme Taylor ‘s south London studio in the lockdown window of September 2020, the buzz of the occasion was heightened by what a rarity such a meeting had become in the pandemic year. Crosland believes it brought a sense of relief that lifted the music to a different level.

‘I did a folk-rock project there in 2019, and I thought Graeme’s studio had a very nice feel’ he recalls. ‘Even these guys, busy as they would normally have been, hadn’t done any playing with anybody for months, so there was a real feeling of catharsis. We set up and rehearsed on the afternoon of day one, then recorded the music straight through the following two days. Chris Allard was a wonderful fresh voice to me on guitar. You can write as much as you like, but musicians create this kind of music, that’s what’s wonderful about it. Chris’s soloing was so fluent, I was really taken by the way he never blags it, never just flaps his fingers around, always plays beautiful melodic lines. And he paired up so well in the front line with Steve Waterman who has such a prodigious technique and a glorious sound on trumpet and flugel. Dylan did a lot of prep for the session, creating all his own drum parts for it. And he grooves so beautifully on everything, always playing just what’s needed. Steve Lodder is quite simply my go-to piano player and he glues everything together so effortlessly. All of them had really done their homework on the charts ahead of the session, and it showed’

Ben Crosland’s bands have entertained plenty of satisfied customers in jazz haunts all over these islands down the years, but the UK jazz community has other reasons to be thankful for his energetic existence – for the variety of groups he’s led and the original repertoires he’s created for them, for the opportunities he’s opened up through his own Jazz Cat record label, and for his tireless support of musicians, venues and festivals in the north of England – sometimes an overlooked creative outpost of a British jazz scene so often focused on London.

For his part, Crosland looks back over what he considers a lucky existence with an offhand modesty (he even throws in the passing detail that he’s been a full-time lawyer all these years as if it wasn’t news of a surprising double life), and unsparing gratitude of his own for the gifts of the musicians he’s played with, and those he’s admired from afar. Whether considering the legacies of personal heroes like the late composers Kenny Wheeler and Don Grolnick, or bass guitarists Jack Bruce and Jaco Pastorius, or marvelling at the sophistication of a startling newcomer like the award-winning young British composer Tom Green, Crosland doesn’t disguise his awe at the work of such originals, and with a chuckle will say of his own ‘I’ve tried to write clever music – I wish I could’. The jazz world has moved on during his years in it, and mostly for the better, he feels.

by Neil Duggan June 22, 2024

2024 marks the 20th anniversary of Threeway. This chamber jazz trio without drums consists of bassist Ben Crosland, pianist Steve Lodder and Steve Waterman on trumpet and flugelhorn. They have released three previous albums on the Jazz Cat label: Conversations (2005), Songs of the Year (2009) and Looking Forward, Looking Back (2013). For this recording, they have recruited guitarist John Etheridge. Between them, the four musicians have extensive experience, having played with artists as diverse as Carla Bley, Mal Waldron, ...

Ben Crosland Quintet: The Ray Davies Songbook

by Roger Farbey June 2, 2016

Given the number of hit songs Ray Davies has written over his years fronting The Kinks, it's astonishing that nothing like this CD has ever seen the light of a laser. There have been a myriad of Beatles tunes set to jazzy interpretations plus jazz covers of the music of other 1960s rock stars including Jimi Hendrix, (Gil Evans) and even The Rolling Stones (Joe Pass). A further example is found on the excellent, if slightly bizarre, Experiments With Pops ...

Songs Of The Year

by Ian Mann

October 24, 2009

A quiet delight and an album that sounds good whatever the season

Threeway is a drummerless trio nominally led by bassist Ben Crosland and also featuring Steve Waterman ( trumpet and flugelhorn) and Steve Lodder (keyboards). Crosland is based in Huddersfield from where he runs his Jazz Cat record label and although a proud Northerner who has resisted the temptation to move to London he is more than just a good “regional” musician. Crosland’s playing and writing skills have seen him work regularly with nationally known musicians such as Lodder and Waterman plus Alan Skidmore, Mark Nightingale, John Etheridge and many others.

Crosland has also recorded frequently, leading his own groups in quartet, quintet and octet formats and often adopting “northern” themes as the inspiration for his writing. Threeway made their recording début in 2005 with the excellent “Conversations” and although their brand of “chamber jazz” may invite comparisons with Acoustic Triangle Crosland’s group is less obviously into a kind of jazz/classical hybrid and consequently Threeway’s music is more conventionally “jazzy”.

The inspiration for “Songs Of The Year” originally came from the 2003 Marsden Jazz Festival when Crosland’s quintet featuring Waterman, Rod Mason (saxes), Stuart McCallum (guitar) and Dave Walsh (drums) appeared with special guest Lodder. Crosland wrote eight pieces of music based on the English calendar and climate for the festival and the group’s performance was very well received. In the coming years Crosland wrote four similarly themed pieces bringing the total up to twelve. He wanted to record them but was initially uncertain of which instrumental line up to adopt. The overwhelmingly favourable critical reaction to “Conversations” plus the involvement of Waterman and Lodder in the initial project led to the recording being made in the Threeway format and it has to be said that Crosland’s writing suits the trio very well.

“Crystal Morning” opens the album and together with the later “Last Summer” was the first piece to be written for the Marsden Festival performance. With “Crystal Morning” Crosland was trying to portray “the optimism of an icy, sunlit winter day”, something the brisk sharpness of Waterman’s trumpet does superbly. Lodder’s crystalline piano is also faithful to the tune’s subject matter and Crosland’s springy electric bass provides the bounce and optimism.

It’s not surprising that much of this music has a strong pictorial quality and “Frosty Night, Cosy Fire” does what it say on the tin. Crosland’s rounded bass and Waterman’s warm, rich flugel are the fire, Lodder’s piano the touch of frost. However the musical interaction between the three protagonists is excellent, all are superb technicians but there is a warmth and soul about the playing that is exceptional.

Waterman gives full reign to his prodigious technique in “Sunshine and Showers” presaging a solo passage from Lodder on acoustic piano. Lodder is a superb pianist who is also at home in classical contexts and his vaulting solo here is a delight. I’m not always as keen on his playing of electric instruments which can veer toward the bland but on this album this side of his playing is sparingly and tastefully utilised. Electric piano is heard on the following “Renewal” the new instrumental voice suggesting the arrival of spring after the “glacial/winter” sound of the acoustic.  For “Lazy Heat” Lodder deploys a Hammond organ sound alongside Waterman’s muted trumpet and Crosland’s liquid bass. There’s a lazy, bluesy quality about the music that suggests a summer heat haze.

“The Harvest” opens with Waterman unaccompanied before he is joined by Lodder’s piano. There’s a warm, almost hymnal quality about the music suggesting a bountiful harvest indeed. Lodder’s piano solo throws in gospel elements, the sound of thanksgiving. It’s uplifting stuff as is the languid “Wine Under The Stars”.

“Cats And Dogs” exhibits a greater urgency through Waterman’s bright, boppish trumpeting and Lodder’s   cascading piano solo. Intended as a depiction of summer thunder storms I suspect.

One of the first pieces to be written for this “song cycle” “Summer’s End” is intended to evoke a sense of melancholy which it does superbly building from Crosland’s bass intro through the choked intensity of Waterman’s trumpeting and Lodder’s sometimes sombre piano.  The warmly glowing “Autumn Dance” evokes the season of “mists and mellow and mellow fruitfulness”  with Waterman in particularly impressive form.

“Storm Warning” re-introduces electric piano which trills in mercurial fashion but the music on this track isn’t nearly as aggressive as the title might suggest. Lodder’s stabbing keyboards and Waterman’s trumpet pyrotechnics imply rather than illustrate the coming storm.

“Hymn For Christmas” is a suitably elegiac closer to a charming album. There is a pastoral quality to “Songs Of The Year” that suggests an English idyll and Crosland reveals himself to be an excellent writer and “musical illustrator”- there are some great tunes here. However the album never lapses into folk whimsy, there are far too many strong musical ideas and genuine jazz playing for that. All three players have superb chops which stand up well in this exposed musical setting and the spirit of discipline and group interaction is strong throughout. “Songs Of The Year” is a quiet delight and an album that sounds good whatever the season.

Ben & Jerry's co-founders are bringing Kamala Harris-inspired ice cream to Wisconsin

On the heels of the first Ben & Jerry's shop opening in Wisconsin , the founders of the ice cream chain are launching a Kamala Harris-inspired pint as part of nationwide ice cream truck tour that will stop in Wisconsin next month.

MoveOn, a progressive public policy advocacy group, is partnering with Ben & Jerry's co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield to host the ice cream truck tour, which will swing through more than 20 cities in battleground states, according to a MoveOn news release . That includes four different stops in Wisconsin.

Along with doling out free ice cream, the "Scoop the Vote" tour will host local officials and activists, help register voters and guide people through making a voting plan.

The Kamala Harris-inspired ice cream flavor is under Cohen's "Ben's Best" label and not affiliated with the Ben & Jerry's brand. Cohen told USA TODAY he got involved in the election because he wants to "get a common decency at a minimum in the White House."

“I want someone who supports people of all races, all genders," Cohen said. "And I think Kamala is a person who supports people. She doesn't try to make herself bigger by putting other people down.”

Here's everything we know about the new Kamala Harris ice cream and how you can try it in Wisconsin.

What are the Kamala Harris-inspired ice cream flavors?

In a nod to one of Harris's most famous quotes, Cohen concocted "Kamala's Coconut Jubilee" in support of the vice president.

Coconut tree emojis and memes became ubiquitous with the Harris campaign this summer after a clip went viral of her saying, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.” 

“Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee” is a coconut-flavored ice cream layered with caramel and topped with red, white and blue star sprinkles. You can sign up online or at the tour stops to enter a raffle for the limited edition pints.

MoveOn will also serve several other electorally themed ice cream flavors, including, “Unburdened by What has Vanilla Bean,” “Inauguration Celebration Birthday Cake,” “Fight For Our Rights Sorbet,” and “MoveOn Mobilizer Milk Chocolate.”

Where in Wisconsin is the truck stopping?

The 22-city ice cream tour kicks off Monday, Sept. 16 in Philadelphia, with Cohen and Greenfield in attendance at the first stop. The tour will then move west, logging four stops in Wisconsin in early October.

Here's when and where the ice cream tour will visit Wisconsin. Time and specific location has not yet been announced for these stops.

• Milwaukee: Wednesday, Oct. 2. RVSP here .
• Green Bay: Thursday, Oct. 3. RSVP here .
• Appleton and University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh: Friday, Oct. 4. RSVP here .
• Madison: Saturday, Oct. 5. This stop will also include a rally in support of the Harris-Walz campaign. RSVP here .

Rahna Epting, executive director of MoveOn, told USA TODAY the tour is an effort to engage people who were not necessarily planning to vote in the election this fall.

“There's a ton of folks that are already tuned into this election, and then there's a vast, vast set of folks that aren't,” Epting said, adding that even non-political activities, like getting ice cream, can engage Americans.

About rostov-on-don.

Rostov-on-Don is a port city and the administrative centre of Rostov Oblast and the Southern Federal District of Russia. From ancient times, the area around the mouth of the Don River has held cultural and commercial importance. Ancient indigenous inhabitants included the Scythian, Sarmat, and Savromat tribes. It was the site of Tanais, an ancient Greek colony, Fort Tana, under the Genoese and Fort Azak in the time of the Ottoman Empire.

The Best Of Rostov-on-Don

Are you a rostov-on-don kosher establishment or tour operator, jewish history, poi & kosher establishments in rostov-on-don.

Rostov is the capital of Southern Russia, with a population of close to 15,000 Jews. Prior to WWII it was a thriving hub of Jewish life. Tragically, during the war it was also the site of the worst mass execution of Jews in Russia, where over 20,000 Jews perished over the course of two horrific days. Today the community is springing back to life, with one of the most active youth groups in Russia, a Jewish day school, an overnight camp, a dynamic women's club, a busy humanitarian aid service, and new programs every year.

What Is *JOFY?

JOFY, or "Jewish Observant Friendly" Establishments are lodging establishments offering special services for Jewish Observant guests such as Shabbat meals, accommodation on lower floors and regular keys for the rooms. It can also be a NON KOSHER establishment located in walking distance from the local Shul, community or kosher restaurants area.

Please note - *JOFY does NOT mean that KOSHER food is served on the premises!
