  • HA-Bio New 2010
    Howard Alden- Jazz Guitarist “He may be the best of his generation,” writes Owen Cordle in JAZZ TIMES. George Kanzler of the NEWARK STAR LEDGER proclaims that he is “the most impressive and creative member of a new generation of jazz guitarists.” And Chip Deffaa of the NEW YORK POST observes that he is “ ...one of the very finest young guitarists working today.” It seems that the only thing regarding Howard Alden on which the critics have debate is whether the remarkable jazz guitarist is one of the best or simply the best. Born in Newport Beach, California, in 1958, Howard began playing at age ten, inspired by recordings of Louis Armstrong, Count Basie and Benny Goodman, as well as those by guitarists Barney Kessel, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt and George Van Eps. Soon he was working professionally around Los Angeles playing in groups ranging from traditional to mainstream to modern jazz. In 1979, Alden went east, for a summer in Atlantic City with vibraphone legend Red Norvo, and continued to perform with him frequently for several years. Upon moving to New York City in 1982, Aldenʼs skills, both as soloist and accompanist, were quickly recognized and sought-out for appearances and recordings with such artists as Joe Bushkin, Ruby Braff, Joe Williams, Warren Vache` and Woody Herman. He has continued to win accolades from critics and musicians alike, adding Benny Carter, Flip Phillips, Mel Powell, Bud Freeman, Kenny Davern, Clark Terry, Dizzy Gillespie and George Van Eps, as well as notable contemporaries such as Scott Hamilton and Ken Peplowski to his list of impressive credits.

  • Discography Updates (Updated May, 2021)
    Discography Updates (Updated May, 2021) I’ve been amassing corrections and additions since the August, 2012 publication of Pepper Adams’ Joy Road. Its 2013 paperback edition gave me a chance to overhaul the Index. For reasons I explain below, it’s vastly superior to the index in the hardcover version. But those are static changes, fixed in the manuscript. Discographers know that their databases are instantly obsolete upon publication. New commercial recordings continue to get released or reissued. Audience recordings are continually discovered. Errors are unmasked, and missing information slowly but surely gets supplanted by new data. That’s why discographies in book form are now a rarity. With the steady stream of updates that are needed to keep a discography current, the internet is the ideal medium. When Joy Road goes out of print, in fact, my entire book with updates will be posted right here. At that time, many of these changes will be combined with their corresponding entries. Until then, to give you the fullest sense of each session, please consult the original entry as well as information here. Please send any additions, corrections or comments to http://gc-pepperadamsblog.blogspot.com/, despite the content of the current blog post. Addition: OLIVER SHEARER 470900 September 1947, unissued demo recording, United Sound Studios, Detroit: Willie Wells tp; Pepper Adams cl; Tommy Flanagan p; Oliver Shearer vib, voc*; Charles Burrell b; Patt Popp voc.^ a Shearer Madness (Ow!) b Medley: Stairway to the Stars A Hundred Years from Today*^ Correction: 490900A Fall 1949 The recording was made in late 1949 because it was reviewed in the December 17, 1949 issue of Billboard.

  • Pressure of Trying to Make Each Note and Phrase a Little Jewel
    (Sportiello, Metz and Parrott) had the crowd buzzing during intermission and rising en masse for a standing ovation... KEN FRANCKLING/JAZZTIMES Together, they are the most elegant trio around! DICK HYMAN ...pure straight ahead heaven... doesn’t miss a beat or drop a false note... CHRIS SPECTOR, MIDWEST RECORD ANY DAY IS A GOOD DAY FOR SOME SONGS Many recording sessions are tense affairs, because the musicians feel the pressure of trying to make each note and phrase a little jewel. But at a Rossano Sportiello session, his delight in being allowed to make music, his easy assurance that there is no need to rush, makes everyone feel relaxed and joyous. No one could feel tense when his directions to the other musicians are so gentle, “You watch me. Maybe something nice will come out.” During playbacks, the control room was atypically quiet, because everyone (including visitors Harry Allen and Rebecca Kilgore) was busy listening and smiling. This trio is a friendly supportive community. Each voice is equal yet the three players come together from the first notes in a lovely synergy. Hear Ed Metz’s beautiful touch, his light-hearted rhythms that recall Jake Hanna so well: feathery brushwork or explosive accents. (Ed provides wonderfully apt incidental percus- sion, too.) Hear Nicki Parrott’s swinging pulse, the rich sonorities of her bass. Dur- ing this session, I would have sworn I heard a rhythm guitar because her sound is so ripe and full. As a singer, Nicki is one with the song. Her subtle, understated delivery is always convincing, whether she’s being perky or rueful.

    Contact: Joe Plowman, publicist Email:[email protected] Phone: 610-417-7534 Acoustic Jazz Guitar Great Marty Grosz Marks 90th Birthday with His New Memoir “…entertaining, readable, funny, and revealing…a real and sometimes startlingly candid pleasure” – Michael Steinman, Jazz Lives PHILADELPHIA, PA March 4, 2020 – A giant of jazz rhythm guitar, Marty Grosz has performed with jazz greats such as Herb Ellis, Charlie Byrd, Ruby Braff, Dick Hyman, Bob Haggart, Bob Wilber, and Kenny Davern. And after performing for 70 years, he has stories to tell. Part memoir, part transcribed oral history, It’s a Sin to Tell a Lie serves up Marty’s story raconteur style—full of sardonic wit with a touch of vaudeville. Part 1: My Story: Candid stories of life with his famous father, German Expressionist George Grosz; sailing to the US; his Chicago jazz years; travels abroad; Soprano Summit; Classic Jazz Quartet; the Orphan Newsboys. Part 2: The Interviews: Transcriptions from 11 live interviews between 2015 and 2019. Marty opines on guitar tuning, Eddie Condon, drummers and bassists, Slam Stewart, Mingus, Chet Baker, Hoagy Carmichael, Herb Ellis, and more. “A giant of jazz rhythm guitar, Marty Grosz is equal parts showman, jazz scholar and raconteur. A virtuoso in a playing style that’s both timeless and so far off the radar it’s all but lost.” — Riverwalk Jazz Marty Grosz (b. 1930, Berlin) came to the United States at age three. He is considered among the best acoustic jazz guitarists of the twentieth century, as well as a vocalist, humorist, composer and arranger.
