Developed for high -gain, resistance -coupled "preamp" applications, high -mu twin -triode RCA -7025 is specially controlled for low noise and hum. A helical hairpin -type heater in each unit minimizes hum. In addition, RCA -7025 has an exceptionally sturdy cage assembly featuring short, stiff stem leads, oversized side -rods and micas of special design to reduce noise and microphonics. You can fulfill the important requirements for a "quiet" preamplifier by designing around RCA -7025. Your RCA Field Representative has full information.

  • 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”.

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.

  • Getting Into Jazz One of the Nicest Things About Jazz Is That We Can Enjoy It on So Many Different Levels, and in So Many Different Ways
    Getting Into Jazz One of the nicest things about jazz is that we can enjoy it on so many different levels, and in so many different ways. I have almost no musical education, but I can enjoy the simple beauty of a melody, the complex blend of instruments and voices, the sound of the soloist, the excitement, the rhythm, the content of the lyrics of a song, the emotion conveyed by a soloist, the interesting ways a soloist improvises on a melody each time through, the different sounds created as a pianist or orchestrator uses different, or more complex harmonies. Those with more extensive musical training can hear and enjoy the music at an even higher level, intellectually analyzing the chord structure, the key changes, the arranging techniques, and so on. Another nice thing about listening to jazz is that the more you listen, the more you tend to hear that you might have missed before. You may begin to recognize individual jazz musicians by their sound, by their playing style, by musical phrases that creep naturally into their solos, by the harmonies they use (you may not be able to think of them or describe them in technical terms, but you can certainly enjoy them). You begin to recognize songs, remember the lryics (words), even arranging and composing styles, and the styles of various bands. Jazz has an extensive body of literature, some of it written, some of it recorded, some of existing only in the memories of those who heard a live performance. Just as with any body of literature, the more we experience it, in this case by listening, the more we are able to tie thoughts or elements of one piece of literature to another.

  • Brief Biography of Lee Konitz
    Lee Konitz: Conversations on the Improviser's Art Andy Hamilton http://www.press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=130264 The University of Michigan Press, 2007 Brief Biography of Lee Konitz Lee Konitz is one of the most original and distinctive alto saxophonists in the history of jazz. With Sonny Rollins, Max Roach, and a few others, he is one of the surviving master improvisers of the bebop generation. But his apprenticeship to bebop was indirect, and he has carved out an uncompro- mising solo career guided by a singular artistic vision. He seeks out chal- lenging situations and strives for perfection in the momentary art of impro- visation. He is unerringly self-critical and always stretches himself to do the best work possible. Though Konitz is a highly re›ective musician, what he plays is intuitive, the product of an intensely emotional sensibility. It’s strik- ing how ingenious Konitz has been in creating novel contexts for the tradi- tional approach of “theme and variations” that he follows. In albums such as Peacemeal or Duets from the 1960s, the solo album Lone-Lee from the 1970s, right up to the recent duo album with drummer Matt Wilson, Gong With Wind, the saxophonist has been concerned to develop new formats for improvisation. Konitz was born on October 13, 1927, in Chicago, of Austrian/Russian Jewish parents. At the age of eleven he picked up his ‹rst instrument, the clarinet, on which he received classical lessons before switching to tenor and then alto saxophone. In 1943 he met the decisive personal and musical in›uence of his life, the blind teacher and pianist Lennie Tristano.
