April 2012, 22.00 - 24.00 Uhr (Zweitsendung) Der Londoner Alan Skidmore (geb. 21. April 1942) begann seinen Weg als Tenorsaxophonist in Bluesrock-Bands, bevor er 1969 mit Kenny Wheeler und Tony Oxley sein eigenes Quintett gründete. Der grosse Erfolg beim Jazz Festival Montreux im selben Jahr und sein CD-Debut festigten seinen Ruf als führender europäischer Saxophonist. Aus der Zusammenarbeit mit Musikern in Südafrika entstand nach 1995 die Band «Ubizo».

    JAZZ WRITING? I am one of Mr. Turley's "few people" who follow The New Yorker and are jazz lovers, and I find in Whitney Bal- liett's writing some of the sharpest and best jazz criticism in the field. He has not been duped with "funk" in its pseudo-gospel hard-boppish world, or- with the banal playing and writing of some of the "cool school" Californians. He does believe, and rightly so, that a fine jazz performance erases the bound• aries of jazz "movements" or fads. He seems to be able to spot insincerity in any phalanx of jazz musicians. And he has yet to be blinded by the name of a "great"; his recent column on Bil- lie Holiday is the most clear-headed analysis I have seen, free of the fan- magazine hero-worship which seems to have been the order of the day in the trade. It is true that a great singer has passed away, but it does the late Miss Holiday's reputation no good not to ad• LETTERS mit that some of her later efforts were (dare I say it?) not up to her earlier work in quality. But I digress. In Mr. Balliett's case, his ability as a critic is added to his admitted "skill with words" (Turley). He is making a sincere effort to write rather than play jazz; to improvise with words,, rather than notes. A jazz fan, in order to "dig" a given solo, unwittingly knows a little about the equipment: the tune being improvised to, the chord struc• ture, the mechanics of the instrument, etc.

  • 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.

  • John Jenkins
    1 The ALTOSAX of JOHN JENKINS Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: May 4, 2020 2 Born: Chicago, Jan. 3, 1931 Died: July 12, 1993 Introduction: I have to admit I had never heard of John Jenkins until into my mature years, but then I found his personal style very interesting and he certainly deserves his solography and recognition. Through a brief period of seven months in 1957, he participated in several recording sessions with the cream of his contemporaries, and he was obviously considered a great talent. Why he quit in the middle of success is not known. History: Jenkins initially studied clarinet in high school but switched to saxophone after six months on the instrument. He played in jam sessions led by Joe Segal at Roosevelt College from 1949-1956. He played with Art Farmer in 1955 and led his own group at the Bee Hive in Chicago in December that year. In 1957 he played with Charlie Mingus and recorded two albums as a leader. He played as a sideman with Johnny Griffin, Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Paul Quinichette, Clifford Jordan, Sahib Shihab and Wilbur Ware in 1957 (not the late 1950s and early 1960s as stated), but essentially dropped out of music after 1962, aside from a few dates with Gloria Coleman. After leaving the jazz world he worked as a messenger in New York and dabbled in jewelry; he sold brass objects at street fairs in the 1970s. After 1983 he began practicing again and playing live on street corners; shortly before his death he played with Clifford Jordan (Wikipedia).

    Blue Note: Still The Finest In Jazz Since 1939 Published on December 30, 2018 By Richard Havers Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion, Blue Note is loved, respected and revered as one of the most important record labels in the history of music. Blue Note is loved, revered, respected and recognized as one of the most important record labels in the history of popular music. Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion, who had only arrived in America a few years earlier having fled the oppressive Nazi regime in his native Germany, Blue Note has continually blazed a trail of innovation in both music and design. Its catalogue of great albums, long-playing records and even 78rpm and 45rpm records is for many the holy grail of jazz.

Its catalogue of great albums, long-playing records and even 78rpm and 45rpm records is for many the holy grail of jazz. It all began when Alfred Lion went to the ‘Spirituals to Swing’ concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall a few days before Christmas 1938. A week or so later he went to Café Society, a newly opened club, to talk to Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis, who had seen them play at Carnegie Hall.
