  • Powell, His Trombone Student Bradley Cooper, Weeks
    Interview with Benny Powell By Todd Bryant Weeks Present: Powell, his trombone student Bradley Cooper, Weeks TBW: Today is August the 6th, 2009, believe it or not, and I’m interviewing Mr. Benny Powell. We’re at his apartment in Manhattan, on 55th Street on the West Side of Manhattan. I feel honored to be here. Thanks very much for inviting me into your home. BP: Thank you. TBW: How long have you been here, in this location? BP: Over forty years. Or more, actually. This is such a nice location. I’ve lived in other places—I was in California for about ten years, but I’ve always kept this place because it’s so centrally located. Of course, when I was doing Broadway, it was great, because I can practically stumble from my house to Broadway, and a lot of times it came in handy when there were snow storms and things, when other musicians had to come in from Long Island or New Jersey, and I could be on call. It really worked very well for me in those days. TBW: You played Broadway for many years, is that right? BP: Yeah. TBW: Starting when? BP: I left Count Basie in 1963, and I started doing Broadway about 1964. TBW: At that time Broadway was not, nor is it now, particularly integrated. I think you and Joe Wilder were among the first to integrate Broadway. BP: It’s funny how it’s turned around. When I began in the early 1960s, there were very few black musicians on Broadway, then in about 1970, when I went to California, it was beginning to get more integrated.

  • 2016 Arsc Conference Session Abstracts
    2016 ARSC CONFERENCE SESSION ABSTRACTS THURSDAY, MAY 12 PLENARY SESSION Thursday, 8:45 am – 9:45 am THE JAZZ LEGACY OF INDIANA AVENUE Monika Herzig, Indiana University & David Williams Traditionally, jazz history books trace the inception of the art form jazz from New Orleans to Chicago and its final destination New York. Of course, innovation rarely follows such a linear path and during those early decades many regional jazz scenes developed. Indiana, the Crossroads of America, not only became a central destination for recording sessions at the Gennett Studios, but a frequent stop for all touring bands as they traveled across the country. As a result, Indianapolis’ club scene featured 33 clubs on the two blocks around the Walker Theatre on Indiana Avenue during the height of the Jazz Age. In addition, the dedicated music teachers of the segregated Crispus Attucks High School pushed their students to perform at their highest potential. Such fertile environment produced a host of influential and world-renowned jazz musicians and educators such as Wes Montgomery, Freddie Hubbard, David Baker, J.J. Johnson, Slide Hampton, Larry Ridley, Leroy Vinegar, David Young, Willis Kirk, Killer Ray Appleton, and many more. This panel discussion will discuss the social, economic, and cultural factors that created this unique and fertile community, the teaching philosophy of the Crispus Attucks music educators, and the rise and fall of the Indiana Avenue scene due to the Civil Rights Movement and regional city development using historic recordings and visuals. CIVIL RIGHTS AND ACTIVISM ON RECORD Thursday, 10:15 am – 11:45 am – Session 1 RECORDS OF RESISTANCE: LISTENING TO THE ANTI-VIETNAM WAR GI MOVEMENT THROUGH THE PAREDON RECORD LABEL Jennie Williams, Indiana University This paper focuses on two albums of songs protesting the Vietnam War, recorded and released in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Most Like Lee (Morgan) 6:46 Recorded on September 8, 1965 TV viewers of the 1965 World Series, if they weren't in the kitchen grabbing a beer between innings, most likely heard a finger-popping blues behind the automobile commercial. It was "The Sidewinder" by Lee Morgan. The use of jazz in TV commercials has both good and bad aspects. Here the music was being played faithfully to its fashion and, as such, was representative of Lee Morgan's new success. If the music from Morgan's albums subsequent to "The Sidewinder" has not been utilized by Mad Ave., it has been heard on the radio -- AM and FM -- and on many a home music system. These albums have enabled him to form his own group which has played in nightclubs of some of the eastern seaboard's larger cities. Lee, who had been with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers from 1958 into 1961, rejoined Blakey in 1964 but 1966 found him on his own. In a June engagement at Slugs', tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley and drummer Billy Higgins were members of Morgan's group. Here, they are part of his recording group along with three others who are no strangers to their session-mates or Blue Note listeners: Jackie McLean, Herbie Hancock and Larry Ridley.

This is tape number one of the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Project interview with David Baker. The interview is being conducted in Bloomington, Indiana, [in] Mr. Baker’s home. Let’s start with when and where you were born. David: [I was] born in Indianapolis, December 21st, 1931, on the east side, where I spent almost all my – when I lived in Indianapolis, most of my childhood life on the east side. I was born in 24th and Arsenal, which is near Douglas Park and near where many of the jazz musicians lived. The Montgomerys lived on that side of town. Freddie Hubbard, much later, on that side of town. And Russell Webster, who would be a local celebrity and wonderful player. [He] used to be a babysitter for us, even though he was not that much older. Gene Fowlkes also lived in that same block on 24th and Arsenal. Then we moved to various other places on the east side of Indianapolis, almost always never more than a block or two blocks away from where we had just moved, simply because families pretty much stayed on the same side of town; and if they moved, it was maybe to a larger place, or because the rent was more exorbitant, or something.

James Harrison Moore, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2012 This study is a comparative examination of the musical lives and improvisational styles of jazz trumpeter Clifford Brown, and two prominent jazz trumpeters whom historians assert were influenced by Brown—Donald Byrd and Freddie Hubbard. Though Brown died in 1956 at the age of 25, the reverence among the jazz community for his improvisational style was so great that generations of modern jazz trumpeters were affected by his playing. It is widely said that Brown remains one of the most influential modern jazz trumpeters of all time. In the case of Donald Byrd, exposure to Brown’s style was significant, but the extent to which Brown’s playing was foundational or transformative has not been examined.

  • Guide to the Melba Liston Collection
    Columbia College Chicago Digital Commons @ Columbia College Chicago CBMR Collection Guides / Finding Aids Center for Black Music Research 2020 Guide to the Melba Liston Collection Columbia College Chicago Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/cmbr_guides Part of the History Commons, and the Music Commons Columbia COLLEGE CHICAGO CENTER FOR BLACK MUSIC RESEARCH COLLECTION The Melba Liston Collection, 1941-1999 EXTENT 44 boxes, 81.6 linear feet COLLECTION SUMMARY The Melba Liston Collection primarily documents her careers as arranger, composer, and educator rather than her accomplishments as a trombonist. It contains lead sheets to her own and other people’s compositions and manuscript scores of many of her arrangements for Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, and Mary Lou Williams, among others. One extensive series contains numerous arrangements for Randy Weston, and her late computer scores for him are also present. PROCESSING INFORMATION The collection was processed, and a finding aid created, by Kristin McGee in 2000 and the finding aid was updated by Laurie Lee Moses in 2010 and Heidi Marshall in 2020. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Melba Liston was a jazz composer, arranger, and performer born in 1926. She was a trombonist during an era (1942–1985) when few women played brass instruments and even fewer toured with jazz bands. She played in the bands of several important jazz musicians, including Count Basie, Dexter Gordon, Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, Randy Weston, and Quincy Jones. Liston had an active career as an arranger for important jazz composers as well as popular music record labels. She also worked with youth orchestras in the troubled neighborhood of Watts, California, leaving the United States to teach at the Jamaica Institute of Music for six years (1973–1979).
