And the lessons that Dillard learned from the late avant-gardist and AACM legend can't always be easily detected in his handsome mainstream sound. But when you're around an artist and educator of Abrams’ stature, you absorb more than you may think, whatever stylistic direction you choose. “He was a very quiet, humble cat,” said Dillard. “Sometimes, he could be very particular in pointing things out. At other times, he could be quite aloof. But whenever you were in his presence, you couldn’t help but be inspired to reach higher.” Having played with such stellar AACM ensembles as Nicole Mitchell’s Black Earth Ensemble, Ernest Dawkins’ Chicago 12 and the Kahil El’Zabar Quartet, Dillard is Foster James by Photo Justin Dillard. right at home with the AACM’s untethered, "roots to the future" approach.

Bird's Bebop Brother Goes Home
gram JAZZ PROMOTING AND NURTURING JAZZ IN CHICAGO SEPTEMBER 2020 WWW.JAZZINCHICAGO.ORG BIRD’S BEBOP BROTHER GOES HOME JOE SEGAL, JIC CO-FOUNDER, 2015 NEA JAZZ MASTER, REMEMBERED BY MUSICIANS AND MUSIC LOVERS BY COREY HALL While our current reality resembles Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds on steroids, let us escape and celebrate Joe Segal -- April 24, 1926-August 10, 2020 -- who brought jazz to Chicago for more than seven decades. Imagine… Scene: August 10, 2020. Place: Tadd’s Hot House. Charlie Parker, firm, fit, and poison-free since March 12, 1955, is sheddin’ “Just Friends” when in walks Joe. “Hey, man! It’s about time!” Bird exclaims, embracing his brother in bop. “What were you up to? Reading the list of upcoming cats?” “I was busy saving the youth,” Joe replies, while readjusting his Cubs cap. “Keeping them safe from the ‘Yookey Dukes!’” Both brothers laugh, embrace again, and then cast their sights down at this page, now a stage, where dudes and dudettes carrying voices, horns and guitars gather to take on this thought prompter: “What song sums up your experience with and/or appreciation of Joe Segal?” (The tunes designated with an asterisk are accompanied by a video available by clicking on the link or thumbnail). Solitaire Anna Miles, vocalist: (*) “I did every gig at the Jazz Showcase with Willie Pickens. We always opened with “Exactly Like You," and if Joe was there, he would sing it with me from the audience, so I think he liked the tune…or at least the way Willie and I did it.

Farewell to the Jazz Preacher
gram JAZZ PROMOTING AND NURTURING JAZZ IN CHICAGO OCTOBER 2020 WWW.JAZZINCHICAGO.ORG FAREWELL TO THE JAZZ PREACHER BY LLOYD SACHS Chicago's jazz community is so tight, the loss of any of its members is keenly felt. But such was the special largesse of Ira Sullivan – in musical, interpersonal and spiritual terms – news of his recent death had an especially strong impact on the artistic associates, students, fans and critics he left behind. Though Sullivan had lived for decades in Florida, where he lifted the jazz scene with his bandstand presence and inspired generations of students as an instructor at the University of Miami Frost School of Music, he never stopped being present in the hearts and souls of Chicago's finest. Few artists have worn the Windy City jazz tradition with greater meaning or class than Sullivan did with his matter of fact brilliance, personal approach to classic bebop and utter redefining of versatility. He was probably best known as a saxophonist – he played tenor, soprano, alto and baritone – but he was also a great trumpeter and stalwart on the flute. Whatever instrument he picked up he played with resounding personal depth. In paying tribute to Sullivan, musician after musician recounted the glories of hanging out with him as well as playing with him – of learning things from him that they had no idea they didn't know. For one of those players, the late saxophone hero Lin Halliday, that included learning how to get his horn psychically fixed. At the Green Mill one night, as a member of trumpeter Brad Goode's band, Halliday was Ira Sullivan (1931-2020) photo by Lauren Deutsch having trouble with the keys on his tenor.

This Is a Pirated Album, Released in Spain: Art Pepper Live at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago 1977
This is a pirated album, released in Spain: Art Pepper live at the jazz showcase in Chicago 1977. With Willie Pickens, Steve Rodby, Wilbur Campbell. While I can’t afford to re-issue it here as a cd, I figure it’s worth releasing on the basis of some lovely performances. This was recorded in ‘77 in the middle of Art’s East Coast Tour, sponsored by John Snyder. The tour ended in NYC, when the earthshaking Vanguard recordings were made with George Cables, George Mraz, and Elvin Jones. In the meantime, Art played here and there with pickup bands. This one one of them. As I recall, Art didn’t get along with Willie Pickens at all. I don’t know why, I just remember Art grumbling about him. And when I listen to the first track, Pepperpot, I can certainly hear a lack of sympathy on Willie’s part. Again, I don’t know why. On the other hand, Art liked Wilbur Campbell a lot, and he just LOVED Steve Rodby -- who might have still been in his teens at this time. He liked Rodby so much, in fact, he brought him to New York for the Vanguard date. It was Elvin who complained. He said that Rodby was great, but much too green for what was about to happen. At the last minute George Mraz, an absolute genius in every way and quite mature enough for Elvin or anybody else, stepped in, read the hardest charts, and dealt philosophically with Art’s total insanity and brilliance. One more thing.
