O’Connell, Joel Roberts, John Sharpe, Elliott Simon, Andrew Vélez, Ken Waxman There is a nobility to turning 80 and a certain mystery to the attendant noun: octogenarian. It is especially impressive in the world of jazz, which takes an unnatural toll on those who Contributing Writers pursue it. Everyone talks about the rock ‘n’ rollers who died young; what about the myriad Duck Baker, Brad Cohan, Phil Freeman, jazz musicians? But the difference between the two genres is that jazz players are still creative Anders Griffen, George Kanzler, and probing into their later decades (take that, Mick Jagger). Mark Keresman, Ken Micallef Celebrating this feat is pianist/educator/vocal collaborator par excellence Ran Blake (On The Contributing Photographers Cover). He has worked with Jeanne Lee, Patty Waters, Christine Correa, Dominique Eade Scott Friedlander, Peter Gannushkin, and, most recently Sara Serpa, the latter with whom he will appear at Jazz at Kitano, celebrating Andy Hurlbut, Vera Marmelo, their new release and his milestone birthday (a couple of months late). Pianist Stanley Cowell Rainer Ojaste, R.I. Sutherland-Cohen, (Interview) is six years shy of 80 but has the activity level of someone half his age, releasing Jack Vartoogian, Nils Winther albums annually and now making his leader debut at Village Vanguard. It would take 2.42 Samuel Blasers (Artist Feature) to add up to 80 but the young trombonist is already prolific as a leader and collaborator beyond his years. He appears around town throughout the month. Oak is a traditional gift for one’s 80th anniversary while diamonds or pearls are a more modern nycjazzrecord.com option. All speak aptly to longevity, strength and beauty.

But one shop in the heart of the Village remains resilient to the encroaching gentrification: Carmine Street Guitars. There, custom guitar maker Rick Kelly and his young apprentice Cindy Hulej, build handcrafted guitars out of reclaimed wood from old hotels, bars, churches and other local buildings. Nothing looks or sounds quite like a Rick Kelly guitar, which is the reason they are embraced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Jim Jarmusch, just to name a few.

  • Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 by Jeffery S
    Delightfulee Jeffrey S. McMillan University of Michigan Press Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 By Jeffery S. McMillan This is an annotated listing of all known Lee Morgan performances and all recordings (studio, live performances, broadcasts, telecasts, and interviews). The titles of studio recordings are given in bold and preceded by the name of the session leader. Recordings that appear to be lost are prefaced with a single asterisk in parentheses: (*). Recordings that have been commercially issued have two asterisks: **. Recordings that exist on tape but have never been commercially released have two asterisks in parentheses: (**). Any video footage known to survive is prefaced with three asterisks: ***. Video footage that was recorded but appears to now be lost is prefaced with three asterisks in parentheses: (***). On numerous occasions at Slugs’ Saloon in Manhattan, recording devices were set up on the stage and recorded Morgan’s performances without objection from the trumpeter. So far, none of these recordings have come to light. The information herein is a collation of data from newspapers, periodicals, published and personal interviews, discographies, programs, pamphlets, and other chronologies of other artists. Morgan’s performances were rarely advertised in most mainstream papers, so I drew valuable information primarily from African-American newspapers and jazz periodicals, which regularly carried ads for nightclubs and concerts. Entertainment and nightlife columnists in the black press, such as “Woody” McBride, Masco Young, Roland Marsh, Jesse Walker, Art Peters, and Del Shields, provided critical information, often verifying the personnel of an engagement or whether an advertised appearance occurred or was cancelled. Newspapers that I used include the Baltimore Afro-American (BAA), Cleveland Call & Post (C&P), Chicago Defender (CD), New Jersey Afro-American (NJAA), New York Amsterdam News (NYAN), Philadelphia Tribune (PT), and Pittsburgh Courier (PC).
