Berklee Archives, Stan Getz Library, Berklee College of Music. - Page 3 - David Liebman papers and sound recordings BCA-041 Biographical/Historical note Jazz saxophonist, educator, and NEA Jazz Master David Liebman was born in Brooklyn, New York, on September 4, 1946. After beginning piano lessons at the age of nine, followed by clarinet and saxophone lessons at twelve, he pursued an interest in jazz as a young adult by studying under Joe Allard, Lennie Tristano, and Charles Lloyd. Though he earned a degree in American History from New York University, Liebman soon decided to dedicate himself to jazz. An important member of New York’s jazz “loft” scene in the 1970s, Liebman provided an organizational structure for the scene by founding Free Life Communication, a collective of musicians that produced shows in New York for aspiring jazz artists. As a professional musician, Liebman played with Ten Wheel Drive, an early jazz fusion group, in the late 1960s. From 1970 to 1974, he played in Elvin Jones and Miles Davis’ bands. Around the same time, Liebman began venturing out into creating his own music and forming his own groups. Liebman has continued to perform and record with self-led bands such as Open Sky Trio, Lookout Farm, Quest, and Expansions since the 1970s. Liebman has been featured on over 500 recordings, composed hundreds of works, and is the subject of the biography What It Is—The Life of a Jazz Artist (2012). In addition to performing and recording, Liebman is passionate about jazz education. He is in demand around the world as a respected instructor, and he is the Artistic Director and Founder of the International Association of Schools of Jazz (IASJ; www.iasj.com). IASJ seeks to promote collaboration between jazz schools through establishing and growing the network of schools of jazz worldwide.

  • Booker Little
    1 The TRUMPET of BOOKER LITTLE Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: Feb. 11, 2020 2 Born: Memphis, April 2, 1938 Died: NYC. Oct. 5, 1961 Introduction: You may not believe this, but the vintage Oslo Jazz Circle, firmly founded on the swinging thirties, was very interested in the modern trends represented by Eric Dolphy and through him, was introduced to the magnificent trumpet playing by the young Booker Little. Even those sceptical in the beginning gave in and agreed that here was something very special. History: Born into a musical family and played clarinet for a few months before taking up the trumpet at the age of 12; he took part in jam sessions with Phineas Newborn while still in his teens. Graduated from Manassas High School. While attending the Chicago Conservatory (1956-58) he played with Johnny Griffin and Walter Perkins’s group MJT+3; he then played with Max Roach (June 1958 to February 1959), worked as a freelancer in New York with, among others, Mal Waldron, and from February 1960 worked again with Roach. With Eric Dolphy he took part in the recording of John Coltrane’s album “Africa Brass” (1961) and led a quintet at the Five Spot in New York in July 1961. Booker Little’s playing was characterized by an open, gentle tone, a breathy attack on individual notes, a nd a subtle vibrato. His soli had the brisk tempi, wide range, and clean lines of hard bop, but he also enlarged his musical vocabulary by making sophisticated use of dissonance, which, especially in his collaborations with Dolphy, brought his playing close to free jazz.

  • 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.

  • The Exotic Rhythms of Don Ellis a Dissertation Submitted to the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in Partial Fu
    THE EXOTIC RHYTHMS OF DON ELLIS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE PEABODY INSTITUTE OF THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS BY SEAN P. FENLON MAY 25, 2002 © Copyright 2002 Sean P. Fenlon All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Fenlon, Sean P. The Exotic Rhythms of Don Ellis. Diss. The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, 2002. This dissertation examines the rhythmic innovations of jazz musician and composer Don Ellis (1934-1978), both in Ellis’s theory and in his musical practice. It begins with a brief biographical overview of Ellis and his musical development. It then explores the historical development of jazz rhythms and meters, with special attention to Dave Brubeck and Stan Kenton, Ellis’s predecessors in the use of “exotic” rhythms. Three documents that Ellis wrote about his rhythmic theories are analyzed: “An Introduction to Indian Music for the Jazz Musician” (1965), The New Rhythm Book (1972), and Rhythm (c. 1973). Based on these sources a general framework is proposed that encompasses Ellis’s important concepts and innovations in rhythms. This framework is applied in a narrative analysis of “Strawberry Soup” (1971), one of Don Ellis’s most rhythmically-complex and also most-popular compositions. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to my dissertation advisor, Dr. John Spitzer, and other members of the Peabody staff that have endured my extended effort in completing this dissertation. Also, a special thanks goes out to Dr. H. Gene Griswold for his support during the early years of my music studies.

It’s easy to stay home, waiting for spring and baseball and New York@Night promising to go out once it gets warm. 4 But now is not the time for complacency. There are countless musicians in our fair city that need your support, especially when lethargy seems so appealing. To Interview: Ron McClure quote our Megaphone this month, written by pianist Steve Colson, music is meant 6 by Donald Elfman to help people “reclaim their intellectual and emotional lives.” And that is not hard to do in a city like New York, which even in the dead of winter, gives jazz Artist Feature: Harris Eisenstadt lovers so many choices. Where else can you stroll into the Village Vanguard 7 by Clifford Allen (Happy 75th Anniversary!) every Monday and hear a band with as much history as the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (On the Cover). Or see as well-traveled a bassist as On The Cover: Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Ron McClure (Interview) take part in the reunion of the legendary Lookout Farm 9 by George Kanzler quartet at Birdland? How about supporting those young, vibrant artists like Encore: Lest We Forget: drummer Harris Eisenstadt (Artist Feature) whose bands and music keep jazz relevant and exciting? 10 Svend Asmussen Joe Maneri In addition to the above, this month includes a Lest We Forget on the late by Ken Dryden by Clifford Allen saxophonist Joe Maneri, honored this month with a tribute concert at the Irondale Center in Brooklyn.

  • New York Meets Vienna
    Magazin der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Wien März 2005 New York meets Vienna Dave Liebman: Zu Wien pflegt er zweifellos eine partikuläre Beziehung. Nicht nur weil er hier – beginnend mit „Lookout Farm“ 1974 im Jazzland – bereits häufig gastiert hat, nein: Wien beherbergt mit dem Porgy & Bess auch jenen Club, von dem er erst kürzlich, im letzten seiner dreimal jährlich verschickten E-Mail-Newsletter, erneut bekannte, dieser sei sein weltweiter Favorit unter den Jazzetablissements. Nun gastiert Dave Liebman mit mehreren Programmen im Magna Auditorium des Musikvereins. Der Mann, der solcherart eine besondere Wien-Affinität zum Ausdruck bringt, ist weit herumgekommen: Dave Liebmans Name hat Rang und Klang in der internationalen Jazz- Community. Als Saxophonist, Komponist und auch als Pädagoge hat er Spuren in der Geschichte hinterlassen, um noch in der Gegenwart Akzente zu setzen. Dave Liebman, das ist jener New Yorker Haudegen, der noch bei den Giganten des Jazz gelernt hat. John Coltrane war es, der den Jugendlichen für jene Musik begeisterte und ihm im persönlichen Kontakt Anregungen mit auf den Weg gab. Zum gemeinsamen Spiel reichte es freilich nicht: Denn als jene Lichtgestalt der sechziger Jahre, Konsensfigur für Avantgardisten und gemäßigte Modernisten, 1967 im Alter von nicht einmal 41 Jahren starb, war Liebman gerade 20 Jahre alt. Lehrling bei Miles Davis Höhere Weihen sollte der in einer liberalen jüdischen Familie in Brooklyn Aufgewachsene durch sein Engagement in der Band des ehemaligen Coltrane-Schlagzeugers Elvin Jones (den er in seinem Nachruf 2004 als eigentlichen musikalischen „Vater“ bezeichnete) erhalten, wie auch durch Miles Davis himself: 1972 als Ersatz für den kurzfristig ausgefallenen Carlos Garnett zu einem Aufnahmetermin für das Meisterwerk „On The Corner“ ins Studio gerufen, gehörte Liebman 1973/74 der Band des genial-schwierigen Trompeters nach dessen Umorientierung hin zum Rock-Jazz an – und erlebte in diesen knapp eineinhalb „Lehrlingsjahren“ (Liebman), die u.
