  • Mantova Jazz 2017
    1917•2017 RELAZIONI Festeggiando 100 anni di jazz italiano mantovajazz.it RELAZIONI Festeggiando 100 anni di jazz italiano Può sembrare una provocazione, ma non lo è. Quando il primo disco di jazz, Livery Stable Blues della Original Dixieland “Jass” Band, fu pubblicato nel febbraio 1917, pochi pensavano che quella fragorosa evoluzione del ragtime potesse cambiare così radicalmente musica, arte e costume dell’ancor giovane XX secolo. Di quella band, nei due ruoli chiave di cornettista e batterista, facevano parte Nick La Rocca e Tony Sbarbaro, figli di immigrati siciliani. Il jazz nasce così (anche) italiano. Il Festival Mantova Jazz, che pure in passato non si è frequentemente occupato di jazz italiano, non poteva esimersi dal festeggiare questo tondissimo anniversario. Lo fa inserendo nella propria programmazione, quest’anno incentrata sull’idea di “relazione”, ampi spazi di riflessione sullo stato di salute del nostro jazz. Dopo tutto è dalla sorprendente capacità di relazione tra culture così diverse che il jazz ha tratto idee ed energia per imporsi come spina dorsale espressiva dei suoni del Novecento. 1917•2017 Relazioni tra Italia e vicenda del performance non amplificata di solo jazz sono quelle che, colte nella piano che, siamo certi, resterà nella dimensione del racconto storico, storia del Chiozzini. possono essere viste nell’evento Relazioni tra Europa e Stati Uniti sono speciale “Cento Anni di Jazz Italiano”, quelle implicate nella conversazione che vedrà incontrarsi, in una corsa a tra Ron Carter e Richard Galliano, ritroso nel tempo, il futuro del giovane due maestri in possesso di una voce Marcello Abate, il magnifico presente poetica pari alla maestria strumentale.

Ron, this is your story so please feel free to take it in any direction that you want as I go. Carter: I'll follow the questions. Levy: Okay. Well, we might as well start at the beginning. I know that you were born on May 4th of 1937 near Detroit. Tell us … you came from a large family … Carter: I'm from a family of six girls and two boys. I'm in the middle, I guess. Several of them have passed away in the intervening years. I have a sister who plays piano and flute. I have a sister who played viola, one who played violin, who passed away. I'm the only one who decided to try to make a living at this foolishness. Family of ten. Levy: That's a big family. Was it a struggle in those times financially? Was it comfortable? Carter: I think when you're that age – ten, twelve – you don't know those issues. I can assure you that my father, who had to work around the clock in those jobs given the racial tenor of the times, managed always to make sure we had plenty to eat, healthy foods.

    On May 31, drummer Louis Hayes celebrated his 80th birthday and a new album at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola in New York, surrounded by friends, collaborators and acolytes, including drummers Michael Carvin, Nasheet Waits and Eric McPherson, and trumpeters Jimmy Owens and Jeremy Pelt, the latter of whom sat in. Another presence loomed large: pianist-composer Horace Silver, the subject of Hayes’ recent Blue Note debut, Serenade for Horace, a heartfelt tribute to the man who gave Hayes his start in 1956 with “Señor Blues.” It was the beginning of a three-year col- laboration that helped codify both hard bop and the Rudy Van Gelder sound over five albums. Hayes left Silver in 1959 to join the Cannonball Adderley Quintet, but the two re- mained close until the hard-bop progenitor’s passing in 2014. Stints followed with Oscar Peterson, the Louis Hayes-Woody Shaw Quintet, Stan Getz, McCoy Tyner and the Can- nonball Legacy Band, which Hayes leads. Throughout his career he’s solidified a place as one of jazz’s most soulfully swinging drummers, and become a cornerstone of the legacy of Detroit-born percussionists that includes Elvin Jones, Roy Brooks, Frank Gant and Oliver Jackson, and extends forward to Gerald Cleaver. At Dizzy’s, Hayes used his hyper-responsive left hand to goose the soloists in his sextet while keeping the fugitive spirit alive with his right on the ride cymbal. His approach seemed to declare the ensemble’s m.o., which balanced rhythmic ferocity and harmonic adventurousness with a reverence for the Silver sprezzatura.

    roncarter.net “…his music embodies all the qualities that make jazz an enduring, vital art form.” –Stereo Review BASSIST RON CARTER is among the most original, prolific, and influential bassists in jazz history. His recording and performance career has earned him a place in the pantheon of jazz legends. He has recorded over 2200 albums, and has a Guinness world record to prove it! IN JAZZ: From 1963 to 1968, he was a member of the acclaimed Miles Davis Quintet. He can be heard on many iconic jazz records of the 60’s and 70’s such as Speak No Evil, Maiden Voyage, Speak Like a Child, Red Clay, Nefertiti and Miles Smiles, to name a few. Over his 60 year career, he has recorded with so many of the jazz greats: Lena Horne, Bill Evans, B.B. King, Coleman Hawkins, Dexter Gordon, Wes Montgomery, Bobby Timmons, Eric Dolphy, Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Chet Baker, Thelonious Monk, Horace Silver, Red Garland, Tommy Flanagan, Chick Corea, Hank Jones, McCoy Tyner Alice Coltrane, Bobby Hutcherson, Milt Jackson, Jimmy Smith, JJ Johnson, Hubert Laws, Herbie Hancock, Philly Joe Jones Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Jim Hall, Roberta Flack, Antonio Carlos Jobim and the Kronos Quartet, among others. IN OTHER GENRES: After leaving the quintet he embarked on a prolific 50-year freelance career that spanned vastly different music genres and continues to this day. He recorded with Aretha Franklin, appeared on the seminal hip-hop album Low End Theory with a Tribe Called Quest, wrote and recorded pieces for string quartets and Bach chorales for 2-8 basses and accompanied Danny Simmons on a spoken word album.

  • HOUSTON PERSON BIOGRAPHY – Courtesy of Highnote Records
    HOUSTON PERSON BIOGRAPHY – Courtesy of HighNote Records He’s one of the best . He’s got bull chops!” – Dizzy Gillespie Dubbed “the natural heir to the Boss Tenor crown worn so long and so well by Gene Ammons” (Bob Porter), global performer Houston Person knows the music business inside out, from booking his own tours to producing his own albums. As eclectic as he is talented, Person has recorded everything from disco and gospel to pop and r&b, in addition to his trademark, soulful hard bop. After years as producer and house tenor for HighNote Records and touring with the late Etta Jones, Person is now known as a master of popular songs played in a relaxed, highly accessible style reminiscent of the great Ben Webster. Person grew up in Florence, South Carolina, and remembers his parents listening to lots of music at home, including jazz. First playing piano before switching to the tenor sax at age 17, he went on to study music at South Carolina State College (where he is included in the school’s Hall of Fame), and later pursued advanced studies at Hartt College of Music in Hartford, Connecticut. As a member of the United States Air Force band stationed in Germany, he played with Eddie Harris, Cedar Walton, and Don Ellis, later working as a sideman for organist Johnny "Hammond" Smith in the mid 1960s. Person built his reputation as a leader with a series of soulful recordings for Prestige in the 60s. However, for a large part of his career he was best-known for his legendary partnership with the great vocalist, Etta Jones, which lasted over 30 years until her death in 2001.
