Made in EU. Andreas Dreier Trio Poinciana Ahmad Jamal is an American jazz pianist, composer, and educator born July 2, 1930 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He played classical piano from the age of 3 and became a professional musician with The George Hudson Orchestra at the age of 14. In 1949 he started his own quartet, The Four Strings, and has since then led bands, mostly trios with Israel Crosby, John Heard or Jamil Nasser (bass) Vernel Fournier or Frank Grant (drums). Jamal also recorded with strings and large ensembles. His personal style and his very ambitious musical structures and arrangements often resulted that he was mainly playing in small groups or as a soloist. Several reviewers described him as a “cocktail-pianist”, but with his brilliant technique and relaxed chord-playing, he found a unique way of leaving space in the music by playing solo in the high register or by stop playing and leave the band to just groove on. Bjørn Vidar Solli is a Norwegian guitarist/composer who has been based in New York the last four years. In NYC he plays regularly with some of the top musicians in the city. He was voted “Young Jazz Musician of the Year” in 2002 and has since won numerous awards throughout Europe, including soloist prizes in Belgium, Monaco and Spain and at the Montreux Jazz Festival, and a composition prize in France. As a leader he has with his trio SOLID! released 4 critically acclaimed CD’s and he recently toured and recorded in Europe with saxophonist Seamus Blake. Solli has played with Jon Gordon, Kevin Hays, Clarence Penn, Marcus Strickland, Will Vinson, John Ellis, Gary Versace, Kendrick Scott, Matt Penman, Orlando Le Flemming, Lage Lund, Rodney Green, Matt Brewer, Bryn Roberts, Jonathan Blake, Mark Ferber, Jochen Rueckert, Jon Wikan, Ferenc Nemeth, Jamire Williams, Ingrid Jensen, Adam Cruz etc. Adam Pache is one of the most accomplished young jazz drummers to come out of Australia. Adam is born in Sydney, Australia. Having spent several years, studying, performing and recording in New York City, Adam is now based in Rome, Italy, where he performs regularly with legendary saxophonist Steve Grossman and Emanuele Cisi. Adam works with a long list of American-based musicians, such as Jeremy Pelt, Diane Schuur, Roberta Gambarini, Jesse Davis, Will Vinson, Danny Grissett, Joe Magnarelli, Philip Harper, Bruce Forman, Ben Wolfe, John Webber, Joel Holmes, Tony Monaco and Scott Robinson, to name but a few. Andreas Dreier, is born in Horsens, Denmark. He studied from 1998 to 2003 at The Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus (DK).

  • Victory and Sorrow: the Music & Life of Booker Little
    ii VICTORY AND SORROW: THE MUSIC & LIFE OF BOOKER LITTLE by DYLAN LAGAMMA A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History & Research written under the direction of Henry Martin and approved by _________________________ _________________________ Newark, New Jersey October 2017 i ©2017 Dylan LaGamma ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION VICTORY AND SORROW: THE MUSICAL LIFE OF BOOKER LITTLE BY DYLAN LAGAMMA Dissertation Director: Henry Martin Booker Little, a masterful trumpeter and composer, passed away in 1961 at the age of twenty-three. Little's untimely death, and still yet extensive recording career,1 presents yet another example of early passing among innovative and influential trumpeters. Like Clifford Brown before him, Theodore “Fats” Navarro before him, Little's death left a gap the in jazz world as both a sophisticated technician and an inspiring composer. However, unlike his predecessors Little is hardly – if ever – mentioned in jazz texts and classrooms. His influence is all but non-existent except to those who have researched his work. More than likely he is the victim of too early a death: Brown passed away at twenty-five and Navarro, twenty-six. Bob Cranshaw, who is present on Little's first recording,2 remarks, “Nobody got a chance to really experience [him]...very few remember him because nobody got a chance to really hear him or see him.”3 Given this, and his later work with more avant-garde and dissonant harmonic/melodic structure as a writing partner with Eric Dolphy, it is no wonder that his remembered career has followed more the path of James P.

  • Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa
    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.

  • Ahmad Jamal Interview 16 November 2011
    Ahmad Jamal Interview 16 November 2011 Q: After some great albums for the Dreyfus label [Francis Dreyfus had died in 2010], you have moved to Harmonia Mundi’s Jazz Village label, so how did this new deal come about? AJ: It came about through Seydou Barry, an associate of mine, he is the first man to bring me to Marseilles, he arranged that session. Q: A lot of thought goes into an Ahmad Jamal album, so how did you conceptualise Blue Moon? AJ: Well, Blue Moon is an interesting project, it turned out much better that I anticipated. I think it is going to be received very well, I think it’s going to be of the calibre of 628 [Argo LP-628 But Not For Me: At the Pershing], my million seller that I did for Chess Records, sometime back. [In the event Blue Moon received a Grammy nomination] It’s comparable to that quality-wise, in fact, I think it is going to make on the recording industry. We need a shot and this is a shot for me, I’m with some brilliant musicians, as was the case with Vernel Fournier and Israel Crosby, so I have some brilliant musicians on this as well, Reginald Veal, on bass, Herlin Riley on drums and one of the great percussionists, Manolo Badrena, who was with Joe Zawinul’s Weather Report, so this is a very well thought out project Q: Well the song ‘Blue Moon’ is a lovely standard, its been around a while, as long as you, dare I say, since the 1930s if memory serves, so what was your approach to it? AJ: My approach was like I always do — I have ideas that are catalysts for arrangements and I had an idea at home playing on one of my Steinways, I have two at home, and this particular time I was playing a line that was dictated by ‘Blue Moon’, so I wrote this bass line, and it starts the whole thing off [of an arrangement of the tune].

  • Emmett Berry
    1 The TRUMPET of EMMETT BERRY Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last updated: July 18, 2019 2 Born: Macon, Georgia, July 23, 1915 Died: June 22, 1993 Introduction: Emmett Berry was an excellent swing trumpeter but possibly suffered by being overshadowed by the charismatic Roy Eldridge with a related style. It was quite obvious that he should be a candidate for a solography on internet! Early history: Raised in Cleveland, Ohio; began ‘gigging’ with local bands, then joined J. Frank Terry’s Chicago Nightingales in Toledo, Ohio (1932), left Terry in Albany, New York, in 1933and ‘gigged’ mainly in that area during the following three years. Joined Fletcher Henderson in late 1936, and remained until Fletcher disbanded in June 1939. With Horace Henderson until October 1940, briefly with Earl Hines, then with Teddy Wilson’s sextet from May 1941 until July 1942, then joined Raymond Scott at C.B.S. With Lionel Hampton from spring of 1943, week with Teddy Wilson in August 1943, briefly with Don Redman and Benny Carter, then again rejomed Teddy Wilson c. November 1943. With John Kirby Sextet from summer 1944 until January 1945, Eddie Heywood, February until October 1945, then joined Count Basie. Left Basie in 1950. (ref. John Chilton). Message: I met Emmett Berry’s daughter Christina at the National Jazz Museum of Harlem a few years ago, seeking information about her father. I promised her a solography, it has taken some time, but here it is. Hopefully you are happy with this tribute to your father, Christina! 3 EMMETT BERRY SOLOGRAPHY FLETCHER HENDERSON & HIS ORCHESTRA NYC.

  • Chicago Music Communities and the Everyday Significance of Playing Jazz
    MUSIC PRACTICES AS SOCIAL RELATIONS: CHICAGO MUSIC COMMUNITIES AND THE EVERYDAY SIGNIFICANCE OF PLAYING JAZZ by John Frederic Behling A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music: Musicology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Mark Allan Clague, Chair Professor Paul A. Anderson Professor Kelly M. Askew Professor Charles Hiroshi Garrett Copyright John Frederic Behling 2010 Acknowledgements In this dissertation, I argue that the solos of jazz musicians spring from the practices of the communities in which they live. What holds true for expression and creativity in jazz is no less true of academic research and writing. This dissertation would not be possible without the support and encouragement of many communities and individuals. I thank all the musicians in Chicago who played music with me and welcomed me into their communities. I am especially grateful to Aki Antonia Smith, Edwina Smith, Scott Earl Holman, and Ed Breazeale for befriending me and introducing me to the musicians and communities about whom I write. I am also grateful for the support of my academic community. Kelly Askew introduced me to the anthropological side of ethnomusicology. Her writing showed me what compassionate and concrete ethnography should be like. Paul Anderson’s late night seminars helped me understand that musical practices have philosophical and psychological significance and that jazz criticism is part of a much larger and long- standing intellectual conversation. Charles Hiroshi Garrett, a late addition to my committee, embraced this project with enthusiasm. His generous encouragement and insightful comments are greatly appreciated.
