Á FEBRUARY 2013 The great ON THE COVER Dave Brubeck (1920–2012) 26 The Amazing Life and Times of Dave Brubeck BY JOHN MCDONOUGH DownBeat pays tribute to the late pianist and composer, who achieved major stardom in the 1950s and held his headliner rank well into the 21st century. Because longevity alone doesn’t guarantee an audience, this 26 makes him unique in the jazz world. Brubeck—whose 1959 quartet recording Time Out was the first million-selling jazz album—may have been the last jazz musician in the world whom everybody knew and liked.

I would have lived the last 50 years quite differently if not for Dave Brubeck. YTwo guys in my high school chemistry class were always excitedly talking about jazz. I’d never actually heard any jazz, so I finally asked, “What jazz record should I get?” One of them said, “Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet!” Brubeck at I bought the vinyl LP at an home on Memorial A&P grocery store. The opening Day 2003 track, “Blue Rondo À La Turk,” was thrilling, a musical whirli- gig. And then came “Strange Meadowlark.” Brubeck’s piano prelude sounded like impres- sionistic piano classics of Ravel or Debussy. I was already enrap- tured when the alto sax of Paul Desmond swooped in. I picked up the needle and again played Desmond’s lovely lyrical breeze. I was drowning in the delight of Brubeck’s music. And I hadn’t even heard the third track, the JIMMY KATZ immortal “Take Five.” The next day I went back to the A&P and bought Brubeck’s Countdown: Time In Outer Space. I started listening to jazz obsessively. I began writing about jazz, starting in 1969 with pieces for DownBeat. While pursuing a doctorate degree in theater at Indiana University, the school’s classical radio station asked me to fill in as a jazz DJ. The first record I played on WFIU? “Strange Meadowlark.” Instead of becoming a professor, I kept playing jazz on the radio. Jazz became my vocation, now going on 30 years broadcasting from Newark, N.J. First record I played on WBGO? “Strange Meadowlark.” I have so many memories of Dave. I spent Memorial Day 2003 with him at his house in Connecticut. Sitting at his piano, Dave played as he reminisced about growing up as a cowboy on his father’s cattle ranch in California. He played music he’d composed to the rhythms of his horse’s hooves. Music had saved his life, he said. During World War II, instead of likely being killed with Gen. Patton’s troops, the day before the fight- ing he was asked to play piano in an Army band. He played for me tunes inspired by truck wheels rolling on pontoon bridges across the Rhine. Just as a painter sees the world in lines and images, Dave heard the world as melodies. Most memorable that day, Dave played for me “Strange Meadowlark,” and my life came blissfully full circle. When the DBQ celebrated the 50th anniversary of Time Out in 2009 at the Montreal Jazz Festival, Dave reminisced with me for a broadcast. What surprised me most was that he had never played “Pick Up Sticks” (on the LP’s second side) since the recording session. I loved watching him play. Even in his latter years, when walking across the stage was often arduous, once he sat down at the piano, all the pain and years fell away. Dave always looked to me like a child first plinking at the keys. He’d play and then laugh in joyful amazement. One of the coolest things Dave ever said was in response to a concert review that alleged he had played some wrong notes: “If I make mis- takes, it’s because I tried something that didn’t work. I’d rather make mistakes than play safe, than play the same solos every night.” And the best life lesson I learned from Dave Brubeck came in a mes- sage he sent me after I’d undergone heart surgery: “From one triple bypasser to another: Always do what you love … quickly!” DB Chords Discords Jazz Cowboy Dave Brubeck was one of my all-time heroes. As a kid, I played his LP We’re All Together Again For The First Time so often that I had to buy a fresh copy due to all the scratches that accumulated on the vinyl. Dave was a fearless improviser and innovator willing to experi- ment with huge chords, pounding rhythms and unusual time signatures. He was also a decent human being. His pioneering efforts with jazz worship inspired me to pursue the same. Plus, because I’m a horseman, it also mattered to me that a jazz musician could grow up on a ranch. Thank you, Mr. Brubeck, for your continued inspiration.

  • 1 the ERROL BUDDLE STORY (PART TWO) by Eric
    THE ERROL BUDDLE STORY (PART TWO) by Eric Myers ______________________________________________________________ [The following appeared in two editions of Jazz Magazine, January/February, 1983 and May/June 1983.] At the conclusion of The Errol Buddle Story (Part One), Buddle was in the United States in 1954, leading his own quintet at Klein’s jazz club, Detroit. Other than Buddle the group included Barry Harris (piano), Pepper Adams (baritone sax), Major Holley (bass), and Elvin Jones (drums). On Saturday nights, Billy Mitchell (tenor sax) was booked for a three-way battle of the saxes. NOW READ ON… e used to get a lot of people sitting in at Klein’s,” Errol remembers , “Stan Getz used to come in some times. An unknown bass player, a young guy, used to “W come in and stand up in front of the bandstand, almost begging to sit in. His name was Paul Chambers [who later made historic recordings with Miles Davis.] I think he’d only been playing several months at that time.” Buddle remembers meeting Miles Davis himself when the trumpeter was at the Blue Bird Lounge, one of Detroit’s jazz clubs. Miles invited Errol and Don Varella up to his room, where the two Australians were fascinated to see about 40 paperbacks — all Westerns — lining the mantelpiece. They asked Miles why he liked cowboy stories. He replied: “Man, I love horses”, and explained that his father had bred horses on a ranch in the South. This was shortly before Miles Davis, in a supreme act of self-will, kicked the heroin habit. “Miles told us how he was really hooked on drugs”, says Errol, “that he didn’t dig heroin, and wanted to get off it.” One night Buddle had a choice between hearing the Stan Kenton band with Zoot Sims on tenor, or Charlie Parker, who was in Detroit for one night playing at a black dance.

  • The Story of Sonny Boy Slim
    THE STORY OF SONNY BOY SLIM Ever since 2010, when Gary Clark Jr. wowed audiences with electrifying live sets everywhere from the Crossroads Festival to Hollywood’s historic Hotel Café, his modus operandi has remained crystal clear: “I listen to everything…so I want to play everything.” The revelation that is the Austin-born virtuoso guitarist, vocalist and songwriter finds him just as much an amalgamation of his myriad influences and inspirations. Anyone who gravitated towards Clark’s, 2011’s Bright Lights EP, heard both the evolution of rock and roll and a savior of blues. The following year’s full-length debut, Blak And Blu, illuminated Clark’s vast spectrum - “Please Come Home” is reminiscent of Smokey Robinson, while “Ain’t Messin’ Around” recalls Sly and the Family Stone. 2014’s double disc Gary Clark Jr–Live projected Clark into 3D by adding palpable dimension and transcendent power –– songs soared and drifted from the epic, psychedelic-blues of “When My Train Comes In” to his anthemic, hip-hop, rock-crunch calling card, “Bright Lights”, all the way down to the deep, dark, muddy water of “When The Sun Goes Down”. There are a handful of folks who have informed for the mélange of genres and styles, which comprise the genius of Clark. One is Michael Jackson. It was on Denver stop of MJ’s Bad Tour where a four-year-old Gary’s life was altered after witnessing The King of Pop. By the sixth grade, Clark would own his first set of strings (Ibanez RX20). As a teen, Clark began making a local name by jamming with adult musicians around nearby clubs.

  • Gary Clark, Jr
    GARY CLARK, JR. 21st Century Blues The last two years have yielded a dizzying RISING FROM AUSTIN parade of triumphs for Gary Clark, Jr., the 28-year-old artist from Austin, Texas. With the by Tom Hyslop force of Warner Brothers Records behind him, Clark has received a promotional push that rivals that of any mainstream artist, one that certainly exceeds anything witnessed in the blues realm at least since the 1980s, with the mainstream breakouts of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robert Cray, and possibly since the highly-publicized signing of Johnny Winter by Columbia Records in 1969. In the course of the blitz, Clark has performed at every major festival, including Coachella, SXSW, Made In America, Bonnaroo, Summerfest, Lollapalooza, Dave Mathews Band Caravan, Newport Folk Fest, Electric Forest, Sasquatch! Festival, Mountain Jam, and others, along with dates in the most coveted clubs; received ink in a dizzying variety of publications, from MOJO and SPIN to such unexpected settings as Esquire, Vanity Fair, and even the mainstream Entertainment Weekly, with recurring coverage in Rolling Stone, including a five- star rating for his debut EP on Warners, in a write-up that led off the review section; and made appearances on the major late-night shows: Conan, The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He has taped an episode of Austin City Limits as headliner. A fragment of “Bright Lights” provided the soundtrack to a major mobile phone provider’s ubiquitous TV advertisement, and the video for “Ain’t Messin’ ‘Round” received regular rotation on VH1, America’s almost univer- sally available cable music television channel.

  • Berlin - Wikipedia
    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

  • Founder & Chairman of Electro Scan Inc
    CHUCK HANSEN Founder & Chairman of Electro Scan Inc. Chuck Hansen has a pretty cool life outside of trenchless technology. He has played his saxophone on stage with the likes of Tower of Power, Huey Lewis, Todd Rundgren, to name a few. His passion for rock n’ roll music runs deep — rooted in his childhood and in full bloom as an adult. He plays live music with rock stars, as well as owns a recording studio, where he records his own music (he’s recorded 24 CDs) in addition to other artists. Hansen is known in trenchless circles as the founder and chairman of Electro Scan Inc. (2011) and was founder of Hansen Information Technologies (1983), which developed asset management systems for water and sewer agencies. Electro Scan is an alternative to CCTV cameras to certify a trenchless lining and rehab projects as “leak-free.” He’s been playing music for more than 50 years, first learning the clarinet from his brother in the second grade then switching to the big baritone sax in the eighth grade. By high school, he was tabbed to play in the famous Monterey Jazz Festival’s All-Star Band competition, allowing him to take the stage with the likes of Dizzy Gilliespe, Louis Belson and Clark Terry. He went on to play in the U.C. Berkeley Jazz Band. Today, Hansen plays, in addition to the baritone sax, the bass sax and the contrabass sax. His “real world” job sometimes inhibits when he can play but he says he does each with as much passion and gusto as he can; each requires such enthusiasm and commitment to be successful, he says.

Generally speaking, music is one of the most neglected themes in Ethiopian studies, especially as compared to the dominant subjects of history and linguistics.
