Having concentrated on the music of Paul McCartney, Johnny Mercer, and Frank Sinatra over the last two years, Pizzarelli has returned to the bossa nova of Jobim with his 2017 release Sinatra & Jobim @ 50. With co- vocalist Daniel Jobim, grandson of the legendary Brazilian composer, the two explore songs Sinatra and Jobim recorded, as well as add new songs flavoured with the spirit of the classic Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim album. Pizzarelli has toured North America, South America, Asia, and Europe, performing shows centered on Frank Sinatra’s centennial, the songs of Johnny Mercer, and a McCartney program, in which his quartet is joined by strings and a horn section. He also tours on a double bill with pianist Ramsey Lewis. While plenty of jazz greats influenced his work, Nat King Cole has been Pizzarelli’s hero and foundation over the last 25 years. He devoted two albums to his music, Dear Mr.

  • History of Jazz Tenor Saxophone Black Artists
    HISTORY OF JAZZ TENOR SAXOPHONE BLACK ARTISTS 1940 – 1944 SIMPLIFIED EDITION INTRODUCTION UPDATE SIMPLIFIED EDITION I have decided not to put on internet the ‘red’ Volume 3 in my Jazz Solography series on “The History of Jazz Tenor Saxophone – Black Artists 1940 – 1944”. Quite a lot of the main performers already have their own Jazz Archeology files. This volume will only have the remainders, and also auxiliary material like status reports, chronology, summing ups, statistics, etc. are removed, to appear later in another context. This will give better focus on the many good artists who nevertheless not belong to the most important ones. Jan Evensmo June 22, 2015 INTRODUCTION ORIGINAL EDITION What is there to say? That the period 1940 - 1944 is a most exciting one, presenting the tenorsax giants of the swing era in their prime, while at the same time introducing the young, talented modern innovators. That this is the last volume with no doubt about the contents, we know what is jazz and what is not. Later it will not be that easy! That the recording activities grow decade by decade, thus this volume is substantially thicker than the previous ones. Just wait until Vol. 4 appears ... That the existence of the numerous AFRS programs partly compensates for the unfortunate recording ban of 1943. That there must be a lot of material around not yet generally available and thus not listed in this book. Please help building up our jazz knowledge base, and share your treasures with the rest of us. That we should remember and be eternally grateful to the late Jerry Newman, whose recording activities at Minton's and Monroe's have given us valuable insight into the developments of modern jazz.

  • From 1941, When Charlie Parker's First Commercially
    From 1941, when Charlie Parker’s first commercially recorded solos (“Hootie Blues” and “Jumpin’ the Blues,” with the Jay McShann Orchestra) dropped on Decca Records, his aesthetic decisions and virtuoso flair moved the collective sensibility of jazz in a new direction. And, to paraphrase the mantra that cropped up after Parker died in March 1955, Bird still lives. To illuminate the degree to which he continues to influence and inspire, we asked six elite jazz artists to share their thoughts about Parker. Through their work, on and off the bandstand (each of the respondents teaches), Bird’s notes and tones will go on living through the 21st century and, perhaps, beyond. BY TED PANKEN 64 Spring 2020 JAZZIZ Photo by Fabrice Bourgelle Photo by Andy Earl JAZZIZ Spring 2020 65 Brown, they all play eighth notes in the way that Charlie Parker instigated. When I was 14, I heard Bird play “Tico-Tico” on the jukebox at a candy store. I got it immediately; something resonated right then and there. It was unlike anything I’d heard. I thought, “This guy makes more sense than anybody.” It’s the melodic, linear sense No jazz musician of the past 60 years his. “Moose the Mooche” is a perfect of logic, musical phrases that seamlessly has more palpably channeled the sound example, the way he uses accents on the connect to the next phrase, like of Charlie Parker than alto saxophonist offbeat, and uses unexpected offbeats.

  • The Changing Face of Harlem – the Savoy Sessions Dan Morgenstern Grammy Award for Best Album Notes 1976
    The Changing Face of Harlem – The Savoy Sessions Dan Morgenstern Grammy Award for Best Album Notes 1976 The history of jazz is often told in terms of geography—a journey from New Orleans to Chicago to Kansas City to New York, and from there, throughout the world. Like any generalization, this way of outlining the music's development has its shortcomings. New York had been a jazz landmark long before it became the chief incubator of a new style eventually called bebop. And for jazz purposes, New York in the main meant Harlem, the largest (and once most glamorous) black metropolis outside Africa. In the '20s, Harlem was practically the entertainment capital of America, if not the western world. “The world's most glamorous atmosphere .... Why, it's just like Arabian Nights,” said young Duke Ellington when first confronted with its splendors in 1923. To the contemporary mind, conditioned to think of Harlem as a “ghetto,” a vast slum, a breeding ground for social ills, this may seem like fantasy. But even today, there are fine streets and houses in Harlem, there is the Apollo Theater (the last remaining bastion of a once proud show business tradition), there are places to eat and drink well, and places to hear music. But sadly, for every one of the latter, there were a couple of dozen in Harlem‘s heyday. These ranged from basement clubs and unpretentious saloons that might feature a piano player and/or a singer to such elaborate operations as the Cotton Club, with its especially composed, staged and choreographed revues featuring the best in black talent and catering exclusively to whites (black show people were allowed to watch).

I am William Alston Brower. I am here to interview Jimmy Cobb on behalf of the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program. We’re in New York City at the Wells Hotel. Mr. Cobb, if you could – we want to go from the beginning. So would you introduce us to your parents? Jimmy: My mother is Katherine Bivens Cobb, and my father is Wilbur Cobb. They met somewhere around before I was born and got married and had me. He’s from Carolina somewhere, and she’s from southern Maryland. How they got together, I’m not really sure about that. That’s how it happened. They tell me I was born in Corcoran Street – 1515 Corcoran Street – in the basement. But I’m not really sure of that even. Sometime I have to try to check that out myself. Every time I go by there I look and say, well, maybe that was where it was. Brower: That’s in northwest Washington [D.C.] Jimmy: Yeah, northwest, 1515. In fact, in Corcoran Street, I lived in two or three – over my lifetime, I lived in about three blocks of Corcoran Street.
