  • Philip Glass (B. 1937) Melodies for Saxophone: Nos. 1, 2, 8, 9, 13
    Date du récital/Date of recital: 14 May 2018 Nom/Name: Dustin Finer Classe de/Class of: Marie-Chantal Leclair These program notes are written by the student performing, and are presented by the student in partial fulfilment of the requirements of their course. Ces notes de programme sont écrites par l'étudiant-interprète et sont présentées en tant que réalisation partielle des critères de leur cours. Philip Glass (b. 1937) Melodies for Saxophone: nos. 1, 2, 8, 9, 13 (1995) ​ Famous for his role in developing minimalist music in the 1960’s, Glass is one of the best known American composers of the past century. His works are often highly rhythmic and repetitive, using simple, slowly shifting harmonies. An important aspect of Glass’s career has been composing for theatrical productions. This series of thirteen melodies for solo saxophone was written for the Jean Genet play Prisoner of Love (1995) as ​ ​ produced by Joanne Akalaitas (Glass’s ex-wife and longtime collaborator). Many of the melodies are evocative of quintessential American styles, such as jazz and pastoral folk music. I invite you to think of this recital as a musical feast and these melodies as amuse-bouches and ​ ​ palette cleansers between courses. Giacinto Scelsi (1905–1988) Tre pezzi (1956) ​ Giacinto Scelsi was an Italian aristocrat who was known to sit at his piano and repeat one note for hours on end. This practice informed much of his writing, including this work for solo soprano or tenor saxophone. Each movement presents a pitch that returns over and over again, taking on new meaning as the movement unfolds.

  • Saxophone Colossus”—Sonny Rollins (1956) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Hugh Wyatt (Guest Essay)*
    “Saxophone Colossus”—Sonny Rollins (1956) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Hugh Wyatt (guest essay)* Album cover Original album Rollins, c. 1956 The moniker “Saxophone Colossus” aptly describes the magnitude of the man and his music. Walter Theodore Rollins is better known worldwide as the jazz giant Sonny Rollins, but in addition to Saxophone Colossus, he has also been given other nicknames, most notably “Newk” because of his resemblance to baseball legend Don Newcombe. To use a cliché, Saxophone Colossus best describes Sonny because he is bigger than life. He is an African American of mammoth importance not only because he is the last major remaining jazz trailblazer, but also because he helped to inspire millions of fans and others to explore the religions and cultures of the East. A former heroin addict, the tenor saxophone icon proved that it was possible to kick the drug habit at a time in the 1950s when thousands of fellow musicians abused heroin and other narcotics. His success is testimony to his strength of character and powerful spirituality, the latter of which helped him overcome what musicians called “the stick” (heroin). Sonny may be the most popular jazz pioneer who is still alive after nearly seven decades of playing bebop, hard bop, and other styles of jazz with the likes of other stalwart trailblazers such as Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Clifford Brown, Max Roach, and Miles Davis. He follows a tradition begun by Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker. Eight months after overcoming his habit at a drug rehabilitation facility called “the farm” in Lexington, Kentucky, Sonny made what the jazz cognoscenti rightly contend is his greatest recording ever—ironically entitled “Saxophone Colossus”—which was recorded on June 22, 1956.

Description: Abstract: Jazz composer and saxophonist Sonny Rollins (1930 - ) composed the jazz standards “Oleo,” “Airegin,” and “Doxy,” and released over sixty albums in his name, including Saxophone Colossus (1956) and Freedom Suite (1958). Rollins was interviewed by The HistoryMakers® on December 3, 2016, in Woodstock, New York. This collection is comprised of the original video footage of the interview.

Biographical Note by The HistoryMakers® Jazz composer and saxophonist Sonny Rollins was born on September 7, 1930 in New York City. His parents, immigrants from the U.S. Virgin Islands, raised him in Manhattan’s central Harlem and Sugar Hill neighborhoods. Rollins received his first alto saxophone at seven years old; and was heavily influenced by saxophonist Charlie Parker by the time he enrolled at Edward W. Stitt Junior High School. Rollins switched to tenor saxophone, and was mentored by pianist Thelonious Monk. Upon graduating from high school, Rollins made his first recordings with Babs Gonzales, J.J. Johnson, Bud Powell, and Fats Navarro. He went on to record with such jazz legends as Miles Davis, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk. In 1954, Rollins’ compositions “Oleo,” “Airegin,” and “Doxy” were featured on Miles Davis’ Bags' Groove.

  • Sammy Figueroa Full
    Sammy Figueroa has long been regarded as one of the world’s great musicians. As a much-admired percussionist he provided the rhythmical framework for hundreds of hits and countless recordings. Well-known for his versatility and professionalism, he is equally comfortable in a multitude of styles, from R & B to rock to pop to electronic to bebop to Latin to Brazilian to New Age. But Sammy is much more than a mere accompanist: when Sammy plays percussion he tells a story, taking the listener on a journey, and amazing audiences with both his flamboyant technique and his subtle nuance and phrasing. Sammy Figueroa is now considered to be the most likely candidate to inherit the mantles of Mongo Santamaria and Ray Barretto as one of the world’s great congueros. Sammy Figueroa was born in the Bronx, New York, the son of the well-known romantic singer Charlie Figueroa. His first professional experience came at the age of 18, while attending the University of Puerto Rico, with the band of bassist Bobby Valentin. During this time he co-founded the innovative Brazilian/Latin group Raices, which broke ground for many of today’s fusion bands. Raices was signed to a contract with Atlantic Records and Sammy returned to New York, where he was discovered by the great flautist Herbie Mann. Sammy immediately became one of the music world’s hottest players and within a year he had appeared with John McLaughlin, the Brecker Brothers and many of the world’s most famous pop artists. Since then, in a career spanning over thirty years, Sammy has played with a

  • The Secret of Serious Fun Is Not to Take Too Seriously, Something This Prodigiously Talented Singer/Songwriter/Saxophonist Knows in His Bones." -The New York Times
    Danny Bacher One Sheet Front Picture (edge to edge) http://jwpjazz.com/Danny_Bacher_Credit_John_Abbott.jpg Front Quote: "The secret of serious fun is not to take too seriously, something this prodigiously talented singer/songwriter/saxophonist knows in his bones." -The New York Times Back Picture http://jwpjazz.com/Danny_Bacher_Credit_John_Abbott3.jpg Bio Danny Bacher is a singer, saxophonist, consummate performer and a fresh new face as jazz‟s newest bright light – and man does he swing! His clean, crisp delivery is reminiscent of the true greats in entertainment. An engaging stage presence, a smooth- as-silk voice, and his gift as a storyteller all come together to complete this package. Add to that his saxophone prowess and you have one of the hottest musicians on the scene today. Having honed his chops in NYC, the jazz capital of the world, Bacher exudes the emotion of a seasoned veteran performer, mixed with his own youthful vigor and bounce. He has a palpable innate magnetism that can‟t be taught. From his catchy, toe-tappin‟ renditions of rare gems to classic takes on the Great American Songbook, Bacher is always at home on the stage and presents his case with elegance, style and class. “Jazz has always been music that resonates with me,” Danny notes. “At my Grandparents‟ house we listened to their fantastic collection of big band and swing records and to great radio programs like „Make Believe Ballroom.‟ I was also lucky to have one of the best college jazz programs in my own „back yard‟ at William Paterson University. I spent countless hours playing sax and singing in their ensembles while still in high school.

  • 1959 Jazz: a Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959
    GELB, GREGG, DMA. 1959 Jazz: A Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959. (2008) Directed by Dr. John Salmon. 69 pp. Towards the end of the 1950s, about halfway through its nearly 100-year history, jazz evolution and innovation increased at a faster pace than ever before. By 1959, it was evident that two major innovative styles and many sub-styles of the major previous styles had recently emerged. Additionally, all earlier practices were in use, making a total of at least ten actively played styles in 1959. It would no longer be possible to denote a jazz era by saying one style dominated, such as it had during the 1930s’ Swing Era. This convergence of styles is fascinating, but, considering that many of the recordings of that year represent some of the best work of many of the most famous jazz artists of all time, it makes 1959 even more significant. There has been a marked decrease in the jazz industry and in stylistic evolution since 1959, which emphasizes 1959’s importance in jazz history. Many jazz listeners, including myself up until recently, have always thought the modal style, from the famous 1959 Miles Davis recording, Kind of Blue, dominated the late 1950s. However, a few of the other great and stylistically diverse recordings from 1959 were John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz To Come, and Dave Brubeck’s Time Out, which included the very well- known jazz standard Take Five. My research has found many more 1959 recordings of equally unique artistic achievement.
