  • 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”.

    1 Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. BILL HOLMAN NEA Jazz Master (2010) Interviewee: Bill Holman (May 21, 1927 - ) Interviewer: Anthony Brown with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: February 18-19, 2010 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 84 pp. Brown: Today is Thursday, February 18th, 2010, and this is the Smithsonian Institution National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Oral History Program interview with Bill Holman in his house in Los Angeles, California. Good afternoon, Bill, accompanied by his wife, Nancy. This interview is conducted by Anthony Brown with Ken Kimery. Bill, if we could start with you stating your full name, your birth date, and where you were born. Holman: My full name is Willis Leonard Holman. I was born in Olive, California, May 21st, 1927. Brown: Where exactly is Olive, California? Holman: Strange you should ask [laughs]. Now it‟s a part of Orange, California. You may not know where Orange is either. Orange is near Santa Ana, which is the county seat of Orange County, California. I don‟t know if Olive was a part of Orange at the time, or whether Orange has just grown up around it, or what. But it‟s located in the city of Orange, although I think it‟s a separate municipality. Anyway, it was a really small town. I always say there was a couple of orange-packing houses and a railroad spur. Probably more than that, but not a whole lot.

  • 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.

What LETTERS actually happened was that Jack Tracy, then editor of Down Beat, decided the magazine needed some humor and cre• ated Out of My Head by George Crater, which he wrote himself. After several issues, he welcomed contributions from the staff, and Don Gold and I began. to contribute regularly. After Jack left, I inherited Crater's column and wrote it, with occasional contributions from Don and Jack Tynan, until I found that the well was running dry. Don and I wrote it some more and then Crater sort of passed from the scene, much like last year's favorite soloist. One other thing: I think Bill Crow will be delighted to learn that the picture of Billie Holiday he so admired on the cover of the Decca Billie Holiday memo• rial album was taken by Tony Scott.

  • Dave Becker – Biography Saxophones, Flute, Clarinet, Bagpipes, Steel Drum
    DAVE BECKER – BIOGRAPHY SAXOPHONES, FLUTE, CLARINET, BAGPIPES, STEEL DRUM In an age where the highly-trained musician is more and more challenged in their attempt to find work, saxophonist Dave Becker has…well…found work. He is a walking embodiment of the diverse, comprehensive musician that the students of today must strive to become tomorrow. He can do it and he can teach it. In addition to live ensemble work in an array of settings from big bands to orchestras to cruise ships to theme parks to concert halls, Becker is also a force “on both sides of the glass”. A skilled studio musician – his many credits include the full package of doubles and then some (woodwinds plus steel drum and bagpipes!) – he is also an experienced producer and recording engineer. Add to that the ability to deliver high-quality, on-demand arrangements and compositions in any number of styles and the image that emerges is one of an artist and craftsman that is eminently hirable. And that is what he is able to impart to his students, both through his example and through his skilled delivery as an educator. Dave Becker earned his undergraduate degree in Music Education at the University of Florida before embarking on the professional career that would continue to develop the diversity of his skill set. Following stints as a bandleader, musician, and arranger for Princess Cruise Lines, Cunard Cruise Lines, Universal Studios and Disney, he settled on the West Coast teaching applied woodwinds and recording arts at Cuesta College then later joining the faculty of California Polytechnic State University as well.

Hopper Management Stievestr. 9 - D-80638 München - Tel. +49 (0)89-177031 - Fax. +49 (0)89-177067 email: [email protected] - http://www.hopper-management.com DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER Biography Today Dee Dee is a sparkling ambassador for jazz, but she bathed in its music before she could walk: her mother played the greatest albums of Ella Fitzgerald for her, and her father was a trumpeter who taught music - to Booker Little, Charles Lloyd and George Coleman, amongst others - and who also played in the summer with Dinah Washington. It's the kind of background that leaves its mark on an adolescent, especially one who appeared solo and with a trio as soon as she was able. Dee Dee's other vocation, that of a globetrotter, reared its head when she toured the Soviet Union, in 1969, with the University of Illinois Big Band. A year later, she followed her then husband, Cecil Bridgewater, to New York. Cecil was playing with pianist Horace Silver, and Dee Dee's dream was to sing Horace's compositions one day... Love and Peace, (Verve), her irresistible 1994 album, was that same dream come true. The young singer made an earth-shattering debut in New York; for four years she was the lead vocalist with the band led by Thad Jones and Mel Lewis, an early career marked by concerts and recordings with such authentic giants as Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Dexter Gordon, Max Roach, Roland Kirk... and also rich experiences with Norman Connors, Stanley Clarke, and Frank Foster's "Loud Minority".
