    1 Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. BILL HOLMAN NEA Jazz Master (2010) Interviewee: Bill Holman (May 21, 1927 - ) Interviewer: Anthony Brown with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: February 18-19, 2010 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 84 pp. Brown: Today is Thursday, February 18th, 2010, and this is the Smithsonian Institution National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Oral History Program interview with Bill Holman in his house in Los Angeles, California. Good afternoon, Bill, accompanied by his wife, Nancy. This interview is conducted by Anthony Brown with Ken Kimery. Bill, if we could start with you stating your full name, your birth date, and where you were born. Holman: My full name is Willis Leonard Holman. I was born in Olive, California, May 21st, 1927. Brown: Where exactly is Olive, California? Holman: Strange you should ask [laughs]. Now it‟s a part of Orange, California. You may not know where Orange is either. Orange is near Santa Ana, which is the county seat of Orange County, California. I don‟t know if Olive was a part of Orange at the time, or whether Orange has just grown up around it, or what. But it‟s located in the city of Orange, although I think it‟s a separate municipality. Anyway, it was a really small town. I always say there was a couple of orange-packing houses and a railroad spur. Probably more than that, but not a whole lot.

  • Discography Updates (Updated May, 2021)
    Discography Updates (Updated May, 2021) I’ve been amassing corrections and additions since the August, 2012 publication of Pepper Adams’ Joy Road. Its 2013 paperback edition gave me a chance to overhaul the Index. For reasons I explain below, it’s vastly superior to the index in the hardcover version. But those are static changes, fixed in the manuscript. Discographers know that their databases are instantly obsolete upon publication. New commercial recordings continue to get released or reissued. Audience recordings are continually discovered. Errors are unmasked, and missing information slowly but surely gets supplanted by new data. That’s why discographies in book form are now a rarity. With the steady stream of updates that are needed to keep a discography current, the internet is the ideal medium. When Joy Road goes out of print, in fact, my entire book with updates will be posted right here. At that time, many of these changes will be combined with their corresponding entries. Until then, to give you the fullest sense of each session, please consult the original entry as well as information here. Please send any additions, corrections or comments to http://gc-pepperadamsblog.blogspot.com/, despite the content of the current blog post.

LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Mel Lewis (May 10, 1929-February 2, 1990) was born Melvin Sokoloff in Buffalo, New York, to Russian immigrant parents. His father was a drummer in the Buffalo area who inspired his son to follow in his footsteps from an early age. Still in his mid-teens, young Lewis played with nationally known jazz musicians Harold Austin and Lenny Lewis. Early credits also include stints with Bernie Burns (1946), Boyd Raeburn (1948), Alvino Rey (1948-9), Ray Anthony (1949-50, 1953-54), and Tex Beneke (1950-53). In 1954 he joined Stan Kenton's band, playing alongside such musicians as Jimmy Giuffre, Maynard Ferguson, Laurindo Almeida, Vido Musso, and vocalist June Christy. During his three-year tenure with Kenton, Lewis also worked and recorded with the Frank Rosolino quintet and the Hampton Hawes Trio. In 1957, Lewis settled in Los Angeles where he led a quintet with another ex-Kenton sideman, saxophonist Bill Holman.

  • Thad Jones Legacy/Vanguard Jazz Orchestra New World Records 80581
    Thad Jones Legacy/Vanguard Jazz Orchestra New World Records 80581 “I've just heard the greatest trumpet player that I've heard in this life,” Charles Mingus wrote in a 1954 letter to Bill Coss, his confidant at Metronome. According to Mingus, the trumpeter he had just heard at a jam session in Detroit, named Thad Jones, was an improviser who made use of the advanced rhythmic and harmonic techniques of twentieth-century European composers, and even better, was “the first man to make them swing.” This “Bartók with valves for a pencil,” as Mingus described him, routinely executed ideas that Fats Navarro had only hinted at in the late 1940s. On the strength of his recordings for Mingus's Debut label and his first LP for Blue Note, Thad Jones—the brother of the pianist Hank and the drummer Elvin—was voted a “New Star” in Downbeat's fourth annual International Critics Poll in the summer of 1956, by which point he had been a member of Count Basie's trumpet section for two years. Choosing Jones third among “established” trumpeters in 1960 (behind Miles Davis and Art Farmer), the English critic Max Harrison deemed it necessary to explain that his vote was based on Jones's work as the added starter to Thelonious Monk's quartet on the album 5 by Monk by 5, “not for his work with Basie”—a recurring theme in the critical writing on Jones around that time. Although Jones's fellow musicians never wavered in their admiration for him, critics had begun to view him as a notorious underachiever.

Of all the musical performing with the Gil Evans Orchestra, he said: styles created in America, it is impossible to deny the importance of jazz. Although the world is completely familiar “Gil & I always hung out during the break at Sweet Basil.
