  • Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail
    Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail. Cottontail stands as a fine example of Ellington’s “Blanton-Webster” years, where the ​ band was at its peak in performance and popularity. The “Blanton-Webster” moniker refers to bassist Jimmy Blanton and tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, who recorded Cottontail on May 4th, 1940 alongside Johnny Hodges, Barney Bigard, Chauncey Haughton, and Harry Carney on saxophone; Cootie Williams, Wallace Jones, and Ray Nance on trumpet; Rex Stewart on cornet; Juan Tizol, Joe Nanton, and Lawrence Brown on trombone; Fred Guy on guitar, Duke on piano, and Sonny Greer on drums. John Hasse, author of The Life and Genius of Duke ​ Ellington, states that Cottontail “opened a window on the future, predicting elements to come in ​ jazz.” Indeed, Jimmy Blanton’s driving quarter-note feel throughout the piece predicts a collective gravitation away from the traditional two feel amongst modern bassists. Webster’s solo on this record is so iconic that audiences would insist on note-for-note renditions of it in live performances. Even now, it stands as a testament to Webster’s mastery of expression, predicting techniques and patterns that John Coltrane would use decades later. Ellington also shows off his Harlem stride credentials in a quick solo before going into an orchestrated sax soli, one of the first of its kind. After a blaring shout chorus, the piece recalls the A section before Harry Carney caps everything off with the droning tonic. Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue. This piece is remarkable for two reasons: Diminuendo & ​ ​ Crescendo in Blue exemplifies Duke’s classical influence, and his desire to write more ​ grandiose pieces with more extended forms.

  • Powell, His Trombone Student Bradley Cooper, Weeks
    Interview with Benny Powell By Todd Bryant Weeks Present: Powell, his trombone student Bradley Cooper, Weeks TBW: Today is August the 6th, 2009, believe it or not, and I’m interviewing Mr. Benny Powell. We’re at his apartment in Manhattan, on 55th Street on the West Side of Manhattan. I feel honored to be here. Thanks very much for inviting me into your home. BP: Thank you. TBW: How long have you been here, in this location? BP: Over forty years. Or more, actually. This is such a nice location. I’ve lived in other places—I was in California for about ten years, but I’ve always kept this place because it’s so centrally located. Of course, when I was doing Broadway, it was great, because I can practically stumble from my house to Broadway, and a lot of times it came in handy when there were snow storms and things, when other musicians had to come in from Long Island or New Jersey, and I could be on call. It really worked very well for me in those days. TBW: You played Broadway for many years, is that right? BP: Yeah. TBW: Starting when? BP: I left Count Basie in 1963, and I started doing Broadway about 1964. TBW: At that time Broadway was not, nor is it now, particularly integrated. I think you and Joe Wilder were among the first to integrate Broadway. BP: It’s funny how it’s turned around. When I began in the early 1960s, there were very few black musicians on Broadway, then in about 1970, when I went to California, it was beginning to get more integrated.

  • American Music Review the H
    American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLII, Number 2 Spring 2013 Invisible Woman: Vi Redd’s Contributions as a Jazz Saxophonist By Yoko Suzuki, University of Pittsburgh The story of alto saxophonist Vi Redd illustrates yet another way in which women jazz instrumentalists have been excluded from the dominant discourse on jazz history. Although she performed with such jazz greats as Count Basie, Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie, and Earl Hines, she is rarely discussed in jazz history books except for those focusing specifically on female jazz musicians. One reason for her omission is that jazz historiography has heavily relied on commercially produced recordings. Despite her active and successful career in the 1960s, Redd released only two recordings as a bandleader, in 1962 and 1964. Reviews of these recordings, along with published accounts of her live performances and memories of her fellow musicians illuminate how Redd’s career as a jazz instrumentalist was greatly shaped by the established gender norms of the jazz world. Elvira “Vi” Redd was born in Los Angeles in 1928. Her father, New Orleans drummer Alton Redd, worked with such jazz greats as Kid Ory, Dexter Gordon, and Wardell Gray. Redd began singing in church when she was five, and started on alto saxophone around the age of twelve, when her great aunt gave her a horn and taught her how to play. Around 1948 she formed a band with her first husband, trumpeter Nathaniel Meeks. She played the saxophone and sang, and began performing professionally.

  • Sangoma Everett & Lionel Martin – Revisiting Afrique of Count
    Sangoma Everett & Lionel Martin – Revisiting Afrique of Count Basie & Oliver Nelson Pascal Anquetil Crédit photo : Bertrand Gaudillère / Item La métamorphose d’un big band en duo « Ce duo, c’est l’histoire d’une rencontre du troisième type » écrit avec pertinence Jacques Denis dans son texte de pochette. Cinquante ans après son enregistrement par le grand orchestre de Count Basie, Lionel Martin et Sangoma Everett se sont lancé le défi de revisiter en tandem Afrique. Ce superbe album, trop méconnu, produit en 1970 par Bob Thiele, est basé sur un répertoire original écrit spécialement par Oliver Nelson. Bien que de génération et origine différentes, Lionel Martin, saxophoniste volcanique au gros son charnu, au vibrato enfiévré et aux phrases grasses et épaisses, incandescentes comme de la lave, et Sangoma Everett, batteur souple et élégant qui connaît sur le bout de ses baguettes toutes les subtilités des rythmes du monde, ont tenté et réussi avec ce disque une mission impossible : faire sonner leur duo comme un big band et transformer leur joute joyeuse en une conversation interactive, captivante de bout en bout. Ce que Lionel Martin, initiateur du projet, aime d’abord dans l’album de Basie, « c’est au fond une certaine simplicité, un rapport à la ligne de basse très simple et répétitive avec des thèmes très puissants. » Résultat : la réussite principale des deux amis est d’avoir su transmuer le swing “basique” en groove grondant et entrainant ; à savoir une certaine manière organique de faire pulser la musique en un roulis polyrythmique irrésistible. Cela crève les oreilles : les deux complices tout au long de leur dialogue vif et chaud s’entendent bien et savent s’écouter pour élaborer ensemble une architecture sonore singulière et enfanter librement une musique entêtante, fertilisée à l’humus du blues et aiguillonnée par l’appel du gospel.
