  • Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 by Jeffery S
    Delightfulee Jeffrey S. McMillan University of Michigan Press Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 By Jeffery S. McMillan This is an annotated listing of all known Lee Morgan performances and all recordings (studio, live performances, broadcasts, telecasts, and interviews). The titles of studio recordings are given in bold and preceded by the name of the session leader. Recordings that appear to be lost are prefaced with a single asterisk in parentheses: (*). Recordings that have been commercially issued have two asterisks: **. Recordings that exist on tape but have never been commercially released have two asterisks in parentheses: (**). Any video footage known to survive is prefaced with three asterisks: ***. Video footage that was recorded but appears to now be lost is prefaced with three asterisks in parentheses: (***). On numerous occasions at Slugs’ Saloon in Manhattan, recording devices were set up on the stage and recorded Morgan’s performances without objection from the trumpeter. So far, none of these recordings have come to light. The information herein is a collation of data from newspapers, periodicals, published and personal interviews, discographies, programs, pamphlets, and other chronologies of other artists. Morgan’s performances were rarely advertised in most mainstream papers, so I drew valuable information primarily from African-American newspapers and jazz periodicals, which regularly carried ads for nightclubs and concerts. Entertainment and nightlife columnists in the black press, such as “Woody” McBride, Masco Young, Roland Marsh, Jesse Walker, Art Peters, and Del Shields, provided critical information, often verifying the personnel of an engagement or whether an advertised appearance occurred or was cancelled. Newspapers that I used include the Baltimore Afro-American (BAA), Cleveland Call & Post (C&P), Chicago Defender (CD), New Jersey Afro-American (NJAA), New York Amsterdam News (NYAN), Philadelphia Tribune (PT), and Pittsburgh Courier (PC).

    mabern Page 1 of 38 Molly Whitehorn, John Bass, Harold Mabern Molly Whitehorn: So the date is November 22nd, and this is Molly Whitehorn, with Dr. John Bass, interviewing Harold Mabern for Echoes of Memphis. So thank you so much for being here today. Harold Mabern: My pleasure. Molly Whitehorn: And if you could just start off, could you tell us a little bit about your childhood and the music you were exposed to when you were younger? Harold Mabern: Okay. My childhood, I was born in Memphis, Tennessee, John Gaston Hospital, March 20th, 1936. Childhood, I didn’t get into music until I was about 15, 16 years old, because I’m self-taught. I never had the privilege to study the piano. And I was going to Douglas High School, and I graduated from Hyde Park High School, and then I went to Douglas. And my first year, I got in the marching band, and I wanted to play a trumpet, but I couldn’t, so I played the drums. And the second year, I was able to play – learn how to play the baritone horn, euphonium. And a friend of mine, his name is Frank Strozier, he’s from Memphis Tennessee, alto player, wonderful alto player. [00:01:01] Harold Mabern: He was saying to me, “Why don't you transfer to Manassas High School?” But during that time, you had to go to school in the district where you lived. So I was able to some kind of way transfer to his high school, which was Manassas, and he was playing alto, saxophone, and clarinet in the marching band.

This Arrangement Has Been Published with the Authorization of the Estate of Oliver Nelson. Published by the Jazz Lines Foundation Inc., a not-for-profit jazz research organization dedicated to preserving and promoting America’s musical heritage. The Jazz Lines Foundation Inc. PO Box 1236 Saratoga Springs NY 12866 USA oliver nelson small band series one for bob (1966) Background: Oliver Edward Nelson was born on June 4, 1932 in St. Louis, into a musical family, as is often the case with jazz greats. His brother was a saxophonist who played with Cootie Williams and his sister was a singing pianist as well. He began to learn piano as a child, moving on to saxophone a few years later, and eventually played in what were then called “territory bands” in the St. Louis area. Johnny Hodges was his idol and he worked hard at becoming proficient at the alto saxophone before joining Louis Jordan’s big band as an altoist and arranger as the 1950s began. During the bulk of the decade he served in the Marines in the Far East and then returned to St. Louis to study music. It was during these years that he was exposed to many kinds of music, apparently being especially moved by the Tokyo Philharmonic, and his endlessly curious and fertile mind was stimulated to begin creating what would be some of the greatest music in jazz history.

    Columbia College Chicago Digital Commons @ Columbia College Chicago CBMR Collection Guides / Finding Aids Center for Black Music Research 2020 Guide to the Melba Liston Collection Columbia College Chicago Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/cmbr_guides Part of the History Commons, and the Music Commons Columbia COLLEGE CHICAGO CENTER FOR BLACK MUSIC RESEARCH COLLECTION The Melba Liston Collection, 1941-1999 EXTENT 44 boxes, 81.6 linear feet COLLECTION SUMMARY The Melba Liston Collection primarily documents her careers as arranger, composer, and educator rather than her accomplishments as a trombonist. It contains lead sheets to her own and other people’s compositions and manuscript scores of many of her arrangements for Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, and Mary Lou Williams, among others. One extensive series contains numerous arrangements for Randy Weston, and her late computer scores for him are also present. PROCESSING INFORMATION The collection was processed, and a finding aid created, by Kristin McGee in 2000 and the finding aid was updated by Laurie Lee Moses in 2010 and Heidi Marshall in 2020. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Melba Liston was a jazz composer, arranger, and performer born in 1926. She was a trombonist during an era (1942–1985) when few women played brass instruments and even fewer toured with jazz bands. She played in the bands of several important jazz musicians, including Count Basie, Dexter Gordon, Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, Randy Weston, and Quincy Jones. Liston had an active career as an arranger for important jazz composers as well as popular music record labels. She also worked with youth orchestras in the troubled neighborhood of Watts, California, leaving the United States to teach at the Jamaica Institute of Music for six years (1973–1979).
