Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen, Postfach, CH-4002 Basel Jazz Collection: Tadd Dameron (W) Samstag, 14. Juli 2012, 23.00 - 24.00 Uhr Sein erstes grosses Arrangement schreibt Tadd Dameron mit 21, und er kommentiert es später trocken mit: "Alles war falsch darin - aber es gab gute Ideen." Nun, sich das Handwerk anzueignen, das war für den jungen Arrangeur aus Cleveland kein Problem, und die guten Ideen wurden immer besser. Nach einigen Jahren als Arrangeur für Swing-Bands beginnt Tadd Dameron die komplexe und schnelle Musik der Bebop-Pioniere ins Grossformat zu übertragen, und er gilt bald als wichtigster Bebop-Arrangeur. Tadd Dameron selber hat über seine Arrangements allerdings gesagt, er achte stets darauf, dass sich die Stücke langsam und kohärent entwickeln, so wie wenn man ein Buch lese.

Harlem Speaks by Andy Vélez a SPECIAL SERIES HONORING HARLEM HEROES Recorded in 1959, Giant Steps Became John Coltrane’S First Genuinely Iconic Album
visitors center: OPEN M-F 10 AM - 4 PM 104 E. 126th Street, #2C, New York, NY 10035 (Take the 2/3/4/5/6 train) WWW.JMIH.ORG THE NATIONAL JAZZ MUSEUM IN HARLEM PRESENTS Giant Steps Unison Tommy Flanagan George Mraz/Zoe (Enja) Rahman (Cube-Metier) Harlem Speaks by Andy Vélez A SPECIAL SERIES HONORING HARLEM HEROES Recorded in 1959, Giant Steps became John Coltrane’s first genuinely iconic album. Pianist Tommy Flanagan was among the players on the recording, which was 10/31 David Amram notable stylistically for a movement away from chordal Multi-instrumentalist/ composer/ author jazz. This reissue of Flanagan’s 1982 Giant Steps is an homage to Coltrane, repeating several of the tracks while adding “Central Park West”. During the ‘80s, Photo copyright Richard Conde. THE NATIONAL JAZZ MUSEUM IN HARLEM 104 EAST 126TH STREET, SUITE 2C DONATION SUGGESTED 6:30 - 8:30PM FOR MORE INFORMATION: 212-348-8300 Flanagan favored trios and frequently played with Czech-born bassist George Mraz. Theirs was a felicitous coming together as evident here and recalled fondly by denizens of Bradley’s, a long-gone-but-not-forgotten Village jazz spot where they appeared frequently. Flanagan is notably more confident with what had been a new idiom the first time around. That sureness of technical facility is evident from the first note to the last and the same is true for Mraz. By this time the latter had become one of the most dependable of October 4: FFEAR rhythm men. Together they are as close as pages in a $18 ADVANCE $20 AT DOOR book on a funky “Cousin Mary”.

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.

Eclypso Tommy Flanagan Solo
ECLYPSO TOMMY FLANAGAN SOLO This is a transcription of the two-chorus solo that pianist Tommy Flanagan takes on his own composition Eclypso . You’ll find it on the classic album The Cats (with John Coltrane, Kenny Burrell and Idrees Sulieman). The head is played as calypso on the A sections, swing in the bridge. For the solos, the band stays in swing feel. This solo makes a good study for a number of reasons. First, the harmony is very simple – as is fitting for a calypso tune (cf Sonny Rollins’ St Thomas ). The A section is just II-V-I-VIs and III-VI-II-Vs in Eb, the bridge is a II-V-I in Ab (the IV of the key), followed by a II-V in Bb (the V of the key), a II-V back in Eb and a C7 chord to lead smoothly back into the first chord of the A section. So it’s a good place to look for ideas over common harmonic movement. Second, at the start of the second A, Tommy moves into double time and stays there for a full sixteen bars. By transcribing an extended double-time passage, we can put it under the microscope and examine how it’s constructed. A word about transcribing double-time passages and fast ornaments. Often the rhythms aren’t played very cleanly – at fast tempos, this is often more an expression of individual players’ swing feel. Also, at this speed, even the best players slip up from time to time. This means sometimes your exact transcription of a double-time passage will contain a note that is clearly against the harmony (but don’t forget the possibility of harmonic substitutions).

JELLY ROLL MORTON's
1 The TENORSAX of WARDELL GRAY Solographers: Jan Evensmo & James Accardi Last update: June 8, 2014 2 Born: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Feb. 13, 1921 Died: Las Vegas, Nevada, May 25, 1955 Introduction: Wardell Gray was the natural candidate to transfer Lester Young’s tenorsax playing to the bebop era. His elegant artistry lasted only a few years, but he was one of the greatest! History: First musical studies on clarinet in Detroit where he attended Cass Tech. First engagements with Jimmy Raschel and Benny Carew. Joined Earl Hines in 1943 and stayed over two years with the band before settling on the West Coast. Came into prominence through his performances and recordings with the concert promoter Gene Norman and his playing in jam sessions with Dexter Gordon.; his famous recording with Gordon, “The Chase” (1947), resulted from these sessions as did an opportunity to record with Charlie Parker (1947). As a member of Benny Goodman’s small group WG was an important figure in Goodman’s first experiments with bop (1948). He moved to New York with Goodman and in 1948 worked at the Royal Roost, first with Count Basie, then with the resident band led by Tadd Dameron; he made recordings with both leaders. After playing with Goodman’s bigband (1948-49) and recording in Basie’s small group (1950-51), WG returned to freelance work on the West Coast and Las Vegas. He took part in many recorded jam sessions and also recorded with Louie Bellson in 1952-53). The circumstances around his untimely death (1955) is unclear (ref.

Kenny Burrell
Kenny Burrell One of the leading exponents of straight-ahead jazz guitar, Kenny Burrell is a highly influential artist whose understated and melodic style, grounded in bebop and blues, made him in an in-demand sideman from the mid-'50s onward and a standard by which many jazz guitarists gauge themselves to this day. Born in Detroit in 1931, Burrell grew up in a musical family in which his mother played piano and sang in the Second Baptist Church choir and his father favored the banjo and ukulele. Burrell began playing guitar at age 12 and quickly fell under the influence of such artists as Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, Oscar Moore, T-Bone Walker, and Muddy Waters. Surrounded by the vibrant jazz and blues scene of Detroit, Burrell began to play gigs around town and counted among his friends and bandmates pianist Tommy Flanagan, saxophonists Pepper Adams and Yusef Lateef, drummer Elvin Jones, and others. In 1951, Burrell made his recording debut on a combo session that featured trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie as well as saxophonist John Coltrane, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, and bassist Percy Heath. Although his talent ranked among the best of the professional jazz players at the time, Burrell continued to study privately with renowned classical guitarist Joe Fava and enrolled in the music program at Wayne State University. Upon graduating in 1955 with a B.A. in music composition and theory, Burrell was hired for a six-month stint touring with pianist Oscar Peterson's trio. Then, in 1956, Burrell and Flanagan moved to New York City and immediately became two of the most sought-after sidemen in town, performing on gigs with such luminaries as singers Tony Bennett and Lena Horne, playing in Broadway pit orchestras, as well as recording with an array of legendary musicians including Coltrane, trumpeter Kenny Dorham, organist Jimmy Smith, vocalist Billie Holiday, and many others.

Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. HANK JONES NEA Jazz Master (1989) Interviewee: Hank Jones (July 31, 1918 – May 16, 2010) Interviewer: Bill Brower Date: November 26-27, 2004 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History Description: Transcript, pp. 134 Hank Jones: I was over there for about two and a half weeks doing a promotional tour. I had done a couple of CDs; one was with my brother Elvin and Richard Davis, the bass player. They made – – I think they made two releases from that date. And I did another date with Jack DeJohnette and John Patitucci. But, these two albums were the objects of the promotion. I mean, they promote very, very heavily everyday. I must have had 40 interviews and about 30 record signings at the record shops, plus all of the recording. We did seven concerts and people inevitably want the records, CDs of the concert for us to sign. I have a trio over there, with Jimmy Cobb and John Fink. It was called, “The Great Jazz Trio.” It was not my name, but the Japanese have special names for everything, you know? That's only one in a series of tree others which he called the great jazz trio. The first one was Ron Carter, Tony Williams and myself. But, there had been a succession of different changes in personnel. It changed about six times. The current one was Jimmy Cobb and Dave Fink--Oh, the cookies have arrived and not a minute too soon.

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.
