    1 The TENORSAX of WARDELL GRAY Solographers: Jan Evensmo & James Accardi Last update: June 8, 2014 2 Born: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Feb. 13, 1921 Died: Las Vegas, Nevada, May 25, 1955 Introduction: Wardell Gray was the natural candidate to transfer Lester Young’s tenorsax playing to the bebop era. His elegant artistry lasted only a few years, but he was one of the greatest! History: First musical studies on clarinet in Detroit where he attended Cass Tech. First engagements with Jimmy Raschel and Benny Carew. Joined Earl Hines in 1943 and stayed over two years with the band before settling on the West Coast. Came into prominence through his performances and recordings with the concert promoter Gene Norman and his playing in jam sessions with Dexter Gordon.; his famous recording with Gordon, “The Chase” (1947), resulted from these sessions as did an opportunity to record with Charlie Parker (1947). As a member of Benny Goodman’s small group WG was an important figure in Goodman’s first experiments with bop (1948). He moved to New York with Goodman and in 1948 worked at the Royal Roost, first with Count Basie, then with the resident band led by Tadd Dameron; he made recordings with both leaders. After playing with Goodman’s bigband (1948-49) and recording in Basie’s small group (1950-51), WG returned to freelance work on the West Coast and Las Vegas. He took part in many recorded jam sessions and also recorded with Louie Bellson in 1952-53). The circumstances around his untimely death (1955) is unclear (ref.

  • 243 on Entend Dans Cet Anthropology Que Dizzy Entend Déjà Faire Évoluer
    On entend dans cet Anthropology que Dizzy entend déjà faire évoluer le be-bop vers une forme de classicisme moderne, moins « hystérique » que Salt Peanuts de mai 1945 par exemple. Par ailleurs, l’humour du trompettiste permet de mieux “faire passer” sa musique, fut-elle virulente auprès du public : on le verra, son approche du scat ira également dans cette direction. Entretemps, resté en Californie, Parker enregistre avec Miles Davis ses premiers chefs d’oeuvre pour la firme Dial (1946-1947) : c’est notamment le cas du titre relatif à son surnom de Bird, Ornithology, construit sur les accords de How high the moon : phrasé, sonorité, émotion, tout y est, y compris le contraste avec Miles Davis dont il a déjà été question à propos des premières séances de la fin 45. A noter l’engagement d’un troisième souffleur, le sax ténor Lucky Thompson, qui mêle une sonorité puissante à l’ancienne au phrasé bop : Charlie Parker: Ornithology CD XXIII, 14 (3’03) Miles Davis (tp) Charlie Parker (as) Lucky Thompson (ts) Dodo Marmarosa (pn) Vic Mc Millan (cb) Roy Porter (dms); rec Hollywood 28/03/46. Lors d’une de ces séances, Parker décide d’enregistrer Night in Tunisia et d’inclure un break d’alto entre l’exposé du thème et les chorus ; plusieurs prises sont mises en boite et pour Parker, il est évident que l’une d’elle dépasse les autres en ce qui concerne le break en question. Malheureusement, la suite du morceau (le solo de Miles notamment) est moins satisfaisante et les producteurs décident de privilégier pour l’édition une autre prise.

Blues, as a musical form, has had and continues to have a profound effect on the entire music industry, both in the United States and abroad. Blues constitute a rich cultural entity in its pure form; but its influence goes far beyond this-for itis the bedrock of jazz, the basis of much of folk and country music and it is closely akin to gospel. But finally and most importantly, blues and its derivatives- and the concept of soul-are major factors in today's pop music. In fact, it is no exaggeration to state flatly that blues, a truly American idiom, is the most pervasive element in American music COVER PHOTO today.

    1 The GUITAR of THEODORE LEROY BUNN “TEDDY” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: June 4, 2020 2 Born: Freeport, New York, May 7, 1909 Died: Lancaster, California, July 20, 1978 Introduction: The first time we heard Teddy Bunn was with the Port Harlem Jazzmen, Frankie Newton and Sidney Bechet, and although he seems to occasionally have been forgotten, the memory lingered in the back of my head, and by listening closer I feel a great unjustice has been made; he ws a magnificent guitar player with firm roots in the blues tradition!! History: First professional work accompanying a calypso singer, first recordings with Spencer Williams (note: not quite correct, see solography). Recorded with Duke Ellington in 1929, was later du deputise for Fred Guy on a tour of New England with Duke Ellington. Worked in the Washboard Serenaders during the early 1930s, then joined group known as Ben Bernie’s Nephews, this unit moved to New York to play a long residency at Chick Groman’s Stables and changed their name to ‘The Spirits of Rhythm’. The group played long engagements at The Onyx, Nick’s, etc., also worked in Philadelphia and Chicago as well as touring. Bunn left in 1937, worked briefly in the original John Kirby band (May 1937), then led own trio and duo at various New York clubs before joining The Spirits of Rhythm in April 1939. Prolific free-lance recordings in 1930s. After residency at New York’s World Fair the group moved to California in 1940, and for a period of 10 years disbanded and re-formed with great regularity.
