  • Lou Donaldson
    BIO LOU DONALDSON --------------------------------------- "My first impulse is always to describe Lou Donaldson as the greatest alto saxophonist in the world." -- Will Friedwald, New York Sun Jazz critics agree that “Sweet Poppa Lou” Donaldson is one of the greatest alto saxophonists of all time. He began his career as a bandleader with Blue Note Records in 1952 and, already at age 25, he had found his sound, though it would continue to sweeten over the years -- earning him his famed nickname -- “Sweet Poppa Lou.” He made a series of classic records for Blue Note in the 50’s, and takes pride in having showcased many musicians who made their first records as sidemen for him: Horace Silver, Clifford Brown, Grant Green, Blue Mitchell, Donald Byrd, Horace Parlan, and others. After also making some excellent recordings for Cadet and Argo Records in the early 60s, Lou’s return to Blue Note in 1967 was marked by one of his most famous recordings, Alligator Bogaloo. Lou was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Letters by North Carolina A & T University and a scholarship was established in his name that is awarded to the most gifted jazz musician at North Carolina A & T University each year. He was inducted into the International Jazz Hall of Fame, is an NEA Jazz Master – our nation’s highest award bestowed upon jazz artists, and is the recipient of countless other honors and awards for his outstanding contributions to jazz, America’s “classical music.” Lou was born in Badin, North Carolina on November 1, 1926 -- the second of 4 children born to father Andrew, a minister and graduate of Livingstone College, and mother, Lucy, graduate of Cheney University who was a teacher, music director and concert pianist who recognized Lou’s expert ear for music and introduced him to the clarinet.

  • A Night at Birdland, Volumes 1 and 2”—Art Blakey Quintet (1954) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Alan Goldsher (Guest Post)*
    “A Night at Birdland, Volumes 1 and 2”—Art Blakey Quintet (1954) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Alan Goldsher (guest post)* Original album Original label Art Blakey Due to its improvisational nature—and the nature of improvisation—jazz, when performed in a club or a concert hall for a throng of paying customers, can be exhilarating, or infuriating, or transcendent, or tedious, all in the span of 32 bars. But live jazz’s most endemic characteristic is that of the ephemeral, because the moment an improvised solo leaves the musician’s instrument, it’s gone, off into the ozone, never to be repeated in the exact manner. The instrumentalist can play the identical lick in the identical part of the identical song at the identical venue for seven consecutive nights, but it will never sound the same, never: maybe the tune’s tempo will be slightly slower, compelling the soloist to hold back, where he might have otherwise jumped the beat; maybe the temperature on the bandstand caused the bassist’s instrument to drift incrementally out of tune, which unconsciously tweaked the soloist’s attack to the point that he placed an accent on the high Bb rather than the high C, as he’d intended; maybe the lubricated gentleman in the front row shouted, “Blow, saxophone player, blow!” which broke the soloist’s concentration, which led to a cracked note. For the vast majority of the time, none of these factors make the improvisation any better or worse, just different. Not only is live jazz ephemeral, it’s also elusive—some nights it’s there, and some nights, it ain’t.

März 2015, 22.00 - 24.00 Uhr (Zweitsendung) Der Blues als Rückgrat: Trompeter Blue Mitchell Müsste man einen theoretischen musikalischen Durchschnitt aller Hardbop-Trompeter errechnen, was Technik, Sound, Ideenreichtum und Renommee bei den Kollegen angeht, er würde wohl bei Blue Mitchell liegen. Und auch was die Zahl der Aufnahmen betrifft, liegt er mittendrin. Das tief im Blues verwurzelte Spiel von Blue Mitchell war fast überall gefragt, er war einer, der immer Qualitätsarbeit lieferte. In den frühen Tagen seiner Karriere tat er das für Earl Bostic, lange Zeit für Horace Silver, immer wieder für Lou Donaldson und sogar für einen wie Blueser John Mayall. Blue Mitchell machte aber auch eine beachtliche Aufnahmekarriere unter eigenem Namen, so dass es unserem Experten, dem Zürcher Trompeter Daniel Schenker, nicht schwerfiel, genügend Perlen zum Gespräch mit Peter Bürli mitzubringen.
