March 1-3 “When I play standards from the American songbook and have more awareness of the lyrics, I can put those feelings in there even when there’s no singing.” — TAMIR HENDELMAN Thur - Fri 10am - 8pm Saturday 9:30am - 6pm SPRING 2018 10% Off Current Sympli Stock During Event 414 North Main Downtown Milford 248-685-2500 TheClothingCove.Com FREE Y DELIVER Anthony Wilson, Jeff Hamilton, Diana Krall, Barbra Streisand, John Clayton and Hendelman in 2009 ics of these songs,” he explains. “When I play standards from the American songbook and have more awareness of the lyrics, I can put those feelings in there even when there’s no singing.” Hendelman, invited to record on the Streisand album Love Is the Answer, found the singer very natu- ral and was pleased to be asked to collaborate on a duet, “Some Other Time.” The recording was made at a New York jazz club, where the audience was small and intimate. A couple years later, he toured with her and a full orchestra. When the two were getting ready to record a song by Jacques Brel with the orchestra, Streisand had the idea to pare the arrangement down to a string quartet in the middle of the song. During rehearsal with the change, she decided to make the music more intense for a more poi- gnant touch. “I thought her ideas were very insightful, and they gave me more appreciation for her as an artist,” says Hendelman, who also has a special fondness for his bookings on many jazz cruises. “Sometimes, on the cruises, we see musicians we haven’t seen in five or more years, and it’s just like we saw them yesterday because jazz is really kind of a small family. The music starts in the morning and goes late into the night. It’s a chance to play and also hear some of our friends join the company of great jazz fans out on the ocean. What could be wrong with that?” Hendelman, whose two daughters (Zoe, 10, and Sophia, 8) are build- ing their interests in music, uses his home studio to conduct workshops. While enjoying those experiences, he also likes presenting music in new places, and that happens as he makes his first appearance at Cliff Bell’s. “I like to invite the audience into our musical conversation and tell them a little about the composi- tions,” he explains. “Different coun- tries and cultures have inspired my music.” • 10% SENIOR CITIZ EN DISCOUNT MAPLE PHARMACY MAKE MAPLE PHARMACY… YOUR PHARMACY!
