He was occupied—performing on tour with his working band and planning his 80th birthday concert celebration, which took place Sept. 10 at New York’s Beacon Theatre. We wanted to make sure DownBeat Sgot a word in with Rollins well in advance of his big day, which writer Jim Macnie covers in fine detail beginning on page 24 of this issue. So, Down- Beat publisher Frank Alkyer and I came up with a list of questions, which we exchanged with Rollins via email in early August. His responses were short, sweet and 100-percent genuine Newk. DownBeat: What’s the best thing about being 80 and playing the saxophone? Sonny Rollins: Being 80 and playing the saxophone. DB: What’s the worst? Rollins: Being 80 and not playing the saxophone. DB: Looking back at your past performances at the Beacon Theatre, what do you remember most about your experiences there? Rollins: I remember the acoustics, which were superior to many. It would require a chapter in a book to recall the many experiences I had there. DB: What differences do you feel in your playing today compared to when you were, say, in your 40s? Rollins: I don’t listen to myself. The experience of playing is the same for me today as it was when I was 8 years old and I got my alto saxophone. DB: What makes you happiest about playing today? Rollins: Everything about playing makes me happy. DB: After all these years, what does the saxophone mean to you? Rollins: The saxophone is more like my right arm; it’s that much a part of me. DB: If it wasn’t the saxophone that called you, what else, do you think, might have been your life’s work? Rollins: I love watercolors and oils, and drew cartoons as a youngster. DB: Which musical artists have you been listening to lately? Any players who have really caught your attention? Rollins: I’m not listening to music, but I enjoy the usual suspects. DB: Tell us about your plans for later this fall into early 2011. Rollins: My plans include more of the same, hopefully on a higher plane of performance, including recordings. Obviously, there will be no reflections on milestones.

  • Anthony Braxton Five Pieces 1975
    Anthony Braxton Five Pieces 1975 ANTHONY BRAXTON Five Pieces 1975 Arista AL 4064 (LP) I would like to propose now, at the beginning of this discussion, that we set aside entirely the question of the ultimate worth of Anthony Braxton's music. There are those who insist that Braxton is the new Bird, Coltrane, and Ornette, the three-in-one who is singlehandedly taking the Next Step in jazz. There are others who remain unconvinced. History will decide, and while it is doing so, we can and should appreciate Braxton's music for its own immediate value, as a particularly contemporary variety of artistic expression. However, before we can sit down, take off our shoes, and place the enclosed record on our turntables, certain issues must be dealt with. People keep asking questions about Anthony Braxton, questions such as what does he think he is doing? Since these questions involve judgments we can make now, without waiting for history, we should answer them, and what better way to do so than to go directly to the man who is making the music? "Am I an improviser or a composer?" Braxton asks rhetorically, echoing more than one critical analysis of his work. "I see myself as a creative person. And the considerations determining what's really happening in the arena of improvised music imply an understanding of composition anyway. So I would say that composition and improvisation are much more closely related than is generally understood." This is exactly the sort of statement Braxton's detractors love to pounce on. Not only has the man been known to wear cardigan sweaters, smoke a pipe, and play chess; he is an interested in composing as in improvising.

This new recording, The 3dom Factor, features Barry Altschul’s new trio with saxophonist Jon Irabagon and bassist Joe Fonda in a program of Altschul compositions. On January 6, 2013, Barry Altschul, who was born in the south Bronx and first started playing the drums on the local hard bop scene in the late 1950s, celebrated his 70th birthday. He is also quickly approaching five decades as a professional musician as his first “proper” gig was with the Paul Bley Trio at the inauguration of Slugs’, the (in)famous East Village bar, as a jazz club in 1964. In addition to playing with Bley, Altschul was active on New York’s bourgeoning free jazz scene of the 1960s, working with the likes of saxophonist Steve Lacy, trombonist Roswell Rudd as well as bassists Gary Peacock, Alan Silva and Steve Swallow and even performing with the Jazz Composer’s Orchestra. His familiarity with the tradition also led to performances with saxophonists Sonny Criss, Johnny Griffin, Lee Konitz, Art Pepper and Tony Scott, pianist Hampton Hawes and vocalist Babs Gonzalez, among others.

Program Notes Symphony No. 3 – Aram Il'yich Khachaturian In November 1953, Aram Khachaturian acted on the encouraging signs of a cultural thaw following the death of Stalin six months earlier and wrote an article for the magazine Sovetskaya Muzika pleading for greater creative freedom. The way forward, he wrote, would have to be without the bureaucratic interference that had marred the creative efforts of previous years. How often in the past, he continues, 'have we listened to "monumental" works...that amounted to nothing but empty prattle by the composer, bolstered up by a contemporary theme announced in descriptive titles.' He was surely thinking of those countless odes to Stalin, Lenin and the Revolution, many of them subdivided into vividly worded sections; and in that respect Khachaturian had been no less guilty than most of his contemporaries.

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.

  • John Mcneil Bill Mchenry
    John McNeil John McNeil is regarded as one of the most original and creative jazz artists in the world today. For nearly three decades John has toured with his own groups and has received widespread acclaim as both a player and composer. His highly personal trumpet style communicates across the full range of contemporary jazz, and his compositions combine harmonic freedom with melodic accessibility. John's restless experimentation has kept him on the cutting edge of new music. His background includes the Horace Silver Quintet, Gerry Mulligan, and the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. John is equally at home in free and structured settings, and this versatility has put him on stage with artists from Slide Hampton to John Abercrombie. John McNeil was born in 1948 in northern California. Due to a lack of available musical instruction in his home town of Yreka, John largely taught himself to play trumpet and read music. By the time he graduated from high school in 1966, John had already begun playing professionally in the northern California region. John moved to New York in the mid-1970's and began a freelance career. His reputation as an innovative trumpet voice began to grow as he played with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, and led his own groups at clubs such as Boomer's, the legendary Village jazz room. In the late 70's, John joined the Horace Silver Quintet. Around the same time, he began recording for the SteepleChase label under his own name and toured internationally. Although he has worked as a sideman with such luminaries as Gerry Mulligan, John has consistently led his own groups from about 1980 to the present.
