It‟s been about ten years since we last saw each other—we had a chance to talk at the Monterey Jazz Festival—but this interview we want you to tell your life history, so we want to start at the very beginning, starting [with] as much information as you can tell us about your family.

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

Born in Birmingham, England in 1927, his love for jazz began at the age of fourteen and from the age of seventeen he was publishing in many leading periodicals on the subject, such as Discography, Pickup, Jazz Monthly, The IAJRC Journal and Canada’s popular jazz magazine Coda. As well as having written various books on British poetry, he has also written two books on jazz: Discographical Essays (2009) and Codas: To a Life with Jazz (2013).

  • Savoy and Regent Label Discography
    Discography of the Savoy/Regent and Associated Labels Savoy was formed in Newark New Jersey in 1942 by Herman Lubinsky and Fred Mendelsohn. Lubinsky acquired Mendelsohn’s interest in June 1949. Mendelsohn continued as producer for years afterward. Savoy recorded jazz, R&B, blues, gospel and classical. The head of sales was Hy Siegel. Production was by Ralph Bass, Ozzie Cadena, Leroy Kirkland, Lee Magid, Fred Mendelsohn, Teddy Reig and Gus Statiras. The subsidiary Regent was extablished in 1948. Regent recorded the same types of music that Savoy did but later in its operation it became Savoy’s budget label. The Gospel label was formed in Newark NJ in 1958 and recorded and released gospel music. The Sharp label was formed in Newark NJ in 1959 and released R&B and gospel music. The Dee Gee label was started in Detroit Michigan in 1951 by Dizzy Gillespie and Divid Usher. Dee Gee recorded jazz, R&B, and popular music. The label was acquired by Savoy records in the late 1950’s and moved to Newark NJ. The Signal label was formed in 1956 by Jules Colomby, Harold Goldberg and Don Schlitten in New York City. The label recorded jazz and was acquired by Savoy in the late 1950’s. There were no releases on Signal after being bought by Savoy. The Savoy and associated label discography was compiled using our record collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963. Some album numbers and all unissued album information is from “The Savoy Label Discography” by Michel Ruppli.

  • Richard Twardzik
    1 The PIANO of RICHARD TWARDZIK Solographer: Jan Evensmo Completed: Jan. 4, 2016 2 Born: Danvers, Boston, Ma., April 30, 1931 Died: Paris, France, Oct. 21, 1955 Introduction: Richard “Dick” Twardzik was one of the most exciting pianists in early modern jazz, that is the few years he lived. His music is equally fresh, original, unpredictable and moving today as it was played and recorded, mostly in jams and concerts more than half a century ago. History: Studied classical music before discovering jazz. Began playing in clubs in 1946 and soon became one of the most promising musicians in Boston. Played with Serge Chaloff and Charlie Parker, worked with Charlie Mariano (1951-52) and toured with Lionel Hampton. After recording with Chaloff and as a leader (1954) he joined Chet Baker for a European tour (1955). He was addicted to heroin and died from an overdose in a Paris hotel (ref. New Grove Dictionary of Jazz). 3 RICHARD TWARDZIK SOLOGRAPHY CHARLIE MARIANO Boston, Dec. 1951 Sonny Truitt (tb), Charlie Mariano (as), Jim Clark (ts), Richard Twardzik (p), Jack Lawlor (b), Carl Goodwin (dm). One title (postscript: earlier presented as “Aviary”, although solo notation and comments below are correct for “Mariners”) was recorded for Prestige: 302 Mariners Intro 8 bars. Acc. (as), (tb) and (ts). Solo 32 bars. (FM) From the very first bar in the intro we meet one of the most fascinating pianists in modern jazz development. His musical world is quite different from most of his contemporaries, as evident from the dark hued solo on this “Mariners”. SERGE CHALOFF QUINTET Albany, NY.
