She was 67. Co-founder of the hugely successful trio Saffire--The Uppity Blues Women, Rabson was a legendary force on the keyboards as well as being a deeply soulful vocalist. She recorded eight albums with Saffire and one solo CD for Alligator Records, and released three solo albums for other labels. Her most recent was 2012’s Not Alone (VizzTone Records). Rabson’s prodigious talent, along with her take-no-guff attitude, struck a chord with music fans around the world. Considered one of th e finest barrelhouse blues pianists of her generation, Rabson -- an accomplished guitarist since she was a teen -- didn’t start playing piano until she was 35. DownBeat magazine said that “Rabson plays bluesy, honky-tonk piano with staggering authority.” Pianist/Singer/Songwriter Alligator president Bruce Iglauer, Rabson’s long-time friend and producer, says Ann was a driving force in the blues world. “Our dear friend Ann Rabson was an extraordinary blues singer, pianist and guitarist and a delightful, smart and funny person. As a founding member of Saffire--The Uppity Blues Women, a solo recording artist and a live performer, she brought her talent, intelligence and intense love for the blues tradition to every piece of music she played and sang. Ann never gave her music or the rest of her life less than 100% of her commitment. She was a loyal friend, a dedicated champion of the blues, a loving partner to her husband George, and an unforgettable woman. We were blessed to have known her.” Blues Memoriam: In Rabson was born in New York on April 12, 1945 and raised in Ohio. As a child she was touched by the blues. “Blues speaks to me directly. It wasn’t a choice, I was drawn to it naturally, sort of like a sheepdog with sheep,” she said. She received a guitar from her father when she was 17 and found role models in Big Bill Broonzy and Memphis Minnie, one of the few early female blues guitarists. Ann quickly became an accomplished guitar player and first sang professionally while still in high school. By age 18 she was performing around the Midwest. In 1971, Ann moved with her daughter to Fredericksburg, Virginia, where she performed full-time and gave music lessons on the side. During this time, Ann and her guitar student, Gaye Adegbalola, decided to perform together and the seeds of Saffire--The Uppity Blues Women were sown. They pooled their money and recorded a demo tape, which they then forwarded to Alligator Records. Their 1990 self- titled debut became one of the label’s best-selling releases. With the addition of Andra Faye McIntosh in 1992, the trio continued to win over audiences around the world with their wholly original and captivating albums and joyous live performances. Their recordings for Alligator are among the best-selling in the label’s catalog. Ann released her first solo album, Music Makin’ Mama, in 1997. When Saffire--The Uppity Blues Women disbanded after 25 years in 2009, Rabson recorded three solo albums and continued to perform solo and with friends, including guitarist Bob Margolin. She appeared on recordings for numerous artists, including Cephas & Wiggins, Pinetop Perkins, EG Kight and Ani DiFranco. Ann is survived by her husband George Newman, daughter Liz Rabson Schnore and granddaughter Georgia Rabson 4 Schnore. Information on funeral arrangements will be forthcoming.

  • Jovino Santos Neto Photo by Daniel Sheehan LETTER from the DIRECTOR Listening Forward to October 7!
    A Mirror and Focus for the Jazz Community September 2018 Vol. 34, No. 09 EARSHOT JAZZSeattle, Washington Jovino Santos Neto Photo by Daniel Sheehan LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR Listening Forward to October 7! The 30th Earshot Jazz Festival is right around the corner, and we are stoked to the maximum. The schedule is all set, tickets are on sale, and further details are on their way to metaphorical telephone poles all around the city. This is going to be fun!! We’re going to come out swinging hard on October 7, with events at KEXP, the Triple Door, and Lo-Fi, and continue with more than 60 events in venues all around the city through November 4. Each ensemble in each concert holds its own special magic, but as a whole, this festival reflects Seattle’s distinctive taste for innovation, and captures a panorama snapshot of the ever-expanding universe of jazz, “America’s greatest gift to world culture.” Over its 30-year history, the Earshot festival has presented many of the giants of the art form from around the world. (I’m hoping to include a full list in next month’s issue.) In serving Seattle artists, educators, and audi- ences over that time, Earshot has also come to reflect the “personality” of Seattle’s creative community, presenting an overall lineup that includes over 60% Seattle resident artists, and engaging audiences with compel- ling music that reflects both the history and the progression of the music. Every advancement in art comes from individual challenges to existing structures. That’s where jazz lives.
