For a List of Participating Record Store Day Vendors, Please Go To FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 19, 2014 CONCORD MUSIC GROUP TO CELEBRATE MILES DAVIS’ EARLY PRESTIGE RECORDS SESSIONS WITH LIMITED-EDITION 10” VINYL LP BOX SETS, EXCLUSIVELY FOR RECORD STORE DAY EVENTS THE PRESTIGE 10-INCH LP COLLECTION, VOLS. 1 AND 2. DUE OUT NOVEMBER 28, 2014 AND APRIL 18, 2015 Los Angeles, Calif – Concord Music Group is proud to announce the release of The Prestige 10-Inch LP Collection, Vols. 1 and 2, which, in total, comprise all ten of the 10” LPs on which Miles Davis appeared as a leader for Prestige Records in the early ’50s. Miles Davis is one of the most musically influential and most popular artists in the history of jazz, and his legendary Prestige recordings are amongst the all-time classics in the genre. Painstakingly reproduced on 10-inch vinyl, with the original LP cover artwork and liner notes included, these box sets will be sold in very limited quantities, available only at participating Record Store Day retailers. The Prestige 10-Inch LP Collection, Vol. 1 [5-LP set] streets November 28th, exclusively for Record Store Day Black Friday, while Vol. 2 [5-LP set] will be released exclusively for Record Store Day 2015, in April. Says Nick Phillips, Concord Music Group’s VP of Catalog Development and the collections’ compilation/reissue producer, “Here’s a rare opportunity to time-travel back to the early ’50s and experience these iconic recordings in the historical context of their original LP album releases—on 10” vinyl, in their original 10” LP sequences, with the details and nuances of the original 10” LP artwork faithfully reproduced right down to the original typographical errors.” The Prestige 10-Inch LP Collection, Vol. 1 presents the first five 10-inch albums on which Miles Davis appeared as a leader for Prestige Records (1951 – 1954). Included are Modern Jazz Trumpets, which also features tracks by fellow jazz trumpet giants Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro, and Kenny Dorham; The New Sounds, about which Ira Gitler wrote in the original LP liner notes, “This album gives Miles more freedom than he has ever had on record for time limits were not strictly enforced. There is opportunity to build ideas into a definite cumulative effect…Upon the wonderful rhythmic foundation of Art Blakey’s drums, Tommy Potter’s bass, and Walter Bishop’s piano, tenorman Sonny Rollins and altoman Jackie McLean are able to enjoy some of the unlimited time for their solo efforts.” Following in the box is Blue Period. In his liner notes for this second LP, Gitler exclaimed, “BLUING, the high spot of this set, is over nine minutes of freedom of expression on modern blues chord changes. At the very end, Art Blakey continues playing after everyone else has stopped. If you listen closely, you will hear Miles say something like, ‘You know that ending man, let’s do it again,’ but why do it again when you've captured the feeling in the solos of Walter Bishop, Miles, Sonny Rollins, Jack McLean, and the inventive drumming of Art Blakey.” Miles Davis Plays the Compositions of Al Cohn follows in the collection, and finally, Miles Davis Quartet, where Davis is joined by the likes of Horace Silver, Max Roach and Art Blakey. The Prestige 10-Inch LP Collection, Vol. 2, which will be released on April 18, 2015, presents the final five 10-inch vinyl LP albums on which Miles Davis appeared as a leader for Prestige, all recorded during 1954. Included in the box are Miles Davis All Star Sextet; Miles Davis Quintet; Miles Davis with Sonny Rollins; as well as Miles Davis All Stars, Vol. 1 and Miles Davis All Stars, Vol. 2, about which Gitler wrote, “With Thelonious Monk adding his wry witticisms and rhythmic fillips and the All-American rhythm team of Kenny Clarke and Percy Heath supplying the power, Miles and Milt create an atmosphere rich in idea and warmth.” For a list of participating Record Store Day vendors, please go to www.recordstoreday.com.

  • Victory and Sorrow: the Music & Life of Booker Little
    ii VICTORY AND SORROW: THE MUSIC & LIFE OF BOOKER LITTLE by DYLAN LAGAMMA A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History & Research written under the direction of Henry Martin and approved by _________________________ _________________________ Newark, New Jersey October 2017 i ©2017 Dylan LaGamma ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION VICTORY AND SORROW: THE MUSICAL LIFE OF BOOKER LITTLE BY DYLAN LAGAMMA Dissertation Director: Henry Martin Booker Little, a masterful trumpeter and composer, passed away in 1961 at the age of twenty-three. Little's untimely death, and still yet extensive recording career,1 presents yet another example of early passing among innovative and influential trumpeters. Like Clifford Brown before him, Theodore “Fats” Navarro before him, Little's death left a gap the in jazz world as both a sophisticated technician and an inspiring composer. However, unlike his predecessors Little is hardly – if ever – mentioned in jazz texts and classrooms. His influence is all but non-existent except to those who have researched his work. More than likely he is the victim of too early a death: Brown passed away at twenty-five and Navarro, twenty-six. Bob Cranshaw, who is present on Little's first recording,2 remarks, “Nobody got a chance to really experience [him]...very few remember him because nobody got a chance to really hear him or see him.”3 Given this, and his later work with more avant-garde and dissonant harmonic/melodic structure as a writing partner with Eric Dolphy, it is no wonder that his remembered career has followed more the path of James P.

Indeed, from a position of relative obscurity when he arrived in New York in 1959, he went on to become one of contemporary jazz’s most prolific and commercially successful composers. The main focus of this dissertation will be Zawinul’s rise to prominence in American jazz during the 1960s and 1970s.

  • Saxophone Colossus”—Sonny Rollins (1956) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Hugh Wyatt (Guest Essay)*
    “Saxophone Colossus”—Sonny Rollins (1956) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Hugh Wyatt (guest essay)* Album cover Original album Rollins, c. 1956 The moniker “Saxophone Colossus” aptly describes the magnitude of the man and his music. Walter Theodore Rollins is better known worldwide as the jazz giant Sonny Rollins, but in addition to Saxophone Colossus, he has also been given other nicknames, most notably “Newk” because of his resemblance to baseball legend Don Newcombe. To use a cliché, Saxophone Colossus best describes Sonny because he is bigger than life. He is an African American of mammoth importance not only because he is the last major remaining jazz trailblazer, but also because he helped to inspire millions of fans and others to explore the religions and cultures of the East. A former heroin addict, the tenor saxophone icon proved that it was possible to kick the drug habit at a time in the 1950s when thousands of fellow musicians abused heroin and other narcotics. His success is testimony to his strength of character and powerful spirituality, the latter of which helped him overcome what musicians called “the stick” (heroin). Sonny may be the most popular jazz pioneer who is still alive after nearly seven decades of playing bebop, hard bop, and other styles of jazz with the likes of other stalwart trailblazers such as Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Clifford Brown, Max Roach, and Miles Davis. He follows a tradition begun by Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker. Eight months after overcoming his habit at a drug rehabilitation facility called “the farm” in Lexington, Kentucky, Sonny made what the jazz cognoscenti rightly contend is his greatest recording ever—ironically entitled “Saxophone Colossus”—which was recorded on June 22, 1956.

Critics such as Wilfried Raussert and Reinhold Wagnleitner argue that music more than any other medium travels easily across borders, language barriers, and creates new cultural contact zones (Raussert 1).

By 1945, where we left off, the Glenn Miller Orchestra had become the sound of America, rallying record-breaking crowds and One Glenn Miller symbolising free-world values. dance at the London Palladium attracted over 6,750 people. The jazz community had never had it so good. Bandleaders such as Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Count Basie were musical idols. And yet there was a growing sentiment that the highly organised, impressively arranged swing bands were no longer true to the spirit of jazz. The genre had, after all, always thrived as a counterculture, giving a voice to the oppressed. Could this music really belong to the white-dominated establishment? What had happened to its founding identity? New factions inevitably appeared. Bebop, cool and hard bop all kicked back against the mainstream. And this fascinating reboot in the history of jazz is where we pick up in the second part of this primer. As before, the aim is to give A level students and teachers a concise overview of the main artists and ideas that shaped jazz’s development, this time from 1945 to the present day.

Photographing in nightclubs, Leonard captured the intensity and passion of jazz’s leading history remains his most remarkable achievement. Jazz and Civil Rights jazz music’s popularity in the 20th century helped prevent complete segregation. With the rise of in-home radios and music clubs, jazz music reached beyond African American communities to the homes of Whites and Latinos. As a symptom of the segregated music industry, record companies in the early 1900s produced blues and jazz music called race records. This music was for black audiences by black musicians. When a jazz song sold well in the African American community, white record companies would remake the song with white musicians to sell to white audiences. As the demand for race records grew, black records featuring black musicians were sold to white audiences. In the 1920s, the radio made jazz more accessible to white audiences. Although restricted and sometimes criticized as too “exotic,” music made by African Americans was being heard forces often created frivolous citations to prevent interracial crowds at jazz clubs.

A musical seeker and truth teller, Miles was unapologetically disruptive to the global music scene, and his influence is still being heard in the music of today. Now, almost thirty years after his passing, those who worked with Miles, as well as those who heard his music, still speak in glowing terms of his legendary status as a musician, artist, and creative guide. In his autobiography Miles tells the story of a time when he attended a gala dinner commemorating Ray Charles at the Kennedy Centre. In an uncomfortable and indignant conversation with a lady sitting next to him, Davis was asked, "What have you done that's so important in your life? Why are you here?” He answered, “Well, I've changed music five or six times…” (1). And Miles was true to his word, for multiple time throughout his career his influence changed not only the musical style we call “jazz”, but also the entire direction of music.

  • Prestige Label Discography
    Discography of the Prestige Labels Robert S. Weinstock started the New Jazz label in 1949 in New York City. The Prestige label was started shortly afterwards. Originaly the labels were located at 446 West 50th Street, in 1950 the company was moved to 782 Eighth Avenue. Prestige made a couple more moves in New York City but by 1958 it was located at its more familiar address of 203 South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey. Prestige recorded jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. The New Jazz label issued jazz and was used for a few 10 inch album releases in 1954 and then again for as series of 12 inch albums starting in 1958 and continuing until 1964. The artists on New Jazz were interchangeable with those on the Prestige label and after 1964 the New Jazz label name was dropped. Early on, Weinstock used various New York City recording studios including Nola and Beltone, but he soon started using the Rudy van Gelder studio in Hackensack New Jersey almost exclusively. Rudy van Gelder moved his studio to Englewood Cliffs New Jersey in 1959, which was close to the Prestige office in Bergenfield. Producers for the label, in addition to Weinstock, were Chris Albertson, Ozzie Cadena, Esmond Edwards, Ira Gitler, Cal Lampley Bob Porter and Don Schlitten. Rudy van Gelder engineered most of the Prestige recordings of the 1950’s and 60’s. The line-up of jazz artists on Prestige was impressive, including Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Art Farmer, Red Garland, Wardell Gray, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet, “Brother” Jack McDuff, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Don Patterson, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Scott, Sonny Stitt and Mal Waldron.
