  • Part 2 of Selected Discography
    Part 2 of Selected Discography Milt Hinton Solos Compiled by Ed Berger (1949-2017) - Librarian, journalist, music producer, photographer, historian, and former Associate Director, Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University. This is a chronological list of representative solos by Hinton as a sideman in a variety of settings throughout his career. Although not definitive, Milt was such a consistent soloist that one could cite many other equally accomplished performances. In some cases, particularly from the 1930s when bass solos were relatively rare, the recordings listed contain prominent bass accompaniment.

    PIN X735.82 Van Wyck Expressway Capacity and Access Improvements to JFK Airport Project DDR/DEIS CHAPTER 2 Project Context PIN X735.82 Van Wyck Expressway Capacity and Access Improvements to JFK Airport Project DDR/DEIS Project Context 2.1 PROJECT HISTORY As part of a post-World War II $200-million development program, and in anticipation of an increased population size, the City of New York sought to expand its highway and parkway system to allow for greater movement throughout the five boroughs. The six-lane Van Wyck Expressway (VWE) was envisioned to help carry passengers quickly from the newly constructed Idlewild Airport (present-day John F. Kennedy International Airport [JFK Airport]) to Midtown Manhattan. In 1945, the City of New York developed a plan to expand the then-existing Van Wyck Boulevard into an expressway. The City of New York acquired the necessary land in 1946 and construction began in 1948, lasting until 1953. The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) bridges for Jamaica Station, which were originally constructed in 1910, were reconstructed in 1950 to accommodate the widened roadway. The designation of the VWE as an interstate highway started with the northern sections of the roadway between the Whitestone Expressway and Kew Gardens Interchange (KGI) in the 1960s. By 1970, the entire expressway was a fully designated interstate: I-678 (the VWE). In 1998, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) began work on AirTrain JFK, an elevated automated guideway transit system linking downtown Jamaica to JFK Airport. AirTrain JFK utilizes the middle of the VWE roadway to create an unimpeded link, connecting two major transportation hubs in Queens.

DELFEAYO MARSALIS NEA Jazz Master (2011) Interviewee: Delfeayo Marsalis (July 28, 1965 - ) Interviewer: Anthony Brown with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: January 13, 2011 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History Description: Transcript, 38 pp. Brown: Ferdinand Delfeayo Marsalis. Good to see you again. Marsalis: You too, brother. Brown: It’s been, when? – since you were working with Max and the So What brass quintet. So that was about 2000, 2001? Marsalis: That was. Brown: So that was the last time we spent some time together. Marsalis: Had a couple of chalupas since then. Brown: I knew you had to get that in there. First of all, we reconnected just the other night over – Tuesday night over at the Jazz Masters Award at Lincoln Center. So, what did you think? Did you have a good time? Marsalis: I did, to be around the true legends and masters of jazz. It was inspiring and humbling, and they’re cool too. Brown: What do you think about receiving the award? For additional information contact the Archives Center at 202.633.3270 or [email protected] 1 Marsalis: I still feel I might be on the young side for that, but I think that my life has been, so far, dedicated to jazz and furthering the cause of jazz, and it’s something that I hope to keep doing to my last days. Brown: We’ll go ahead and start the formal interview.

  • Jack Kerouac and the Influence Of
    JACK KEROUAC AND THE INFLUENCE OF BEBOP by David Kastin* _________________________________________________________ [This is an excerpt from David Kastin’s book Nica’s Dream: The Life and Legend of the Jazz Baroness, pages 58-62.] ike many members of his generation, Jack Kerouac had been enthralled by the dynamic rhythms of the swing era big bands he listened to on the radio as a L teenager. Of course, what he heard was the result of the same racial segregation that was imposed on most areas of American life. The national radio networks, as well as most of the independent local stations, were vigilant in protecting the homes of the dominant culture against the intrusion of any and all soundwaves of African American origin. That left a lineup of all-white big bands, ranging from "sweet" orchestras playing lush arrangements of popular songs to "hot" bands who provided a propulsive soundtrack for even the most fervent jitterbugs. Jack Kerouac: guided to the riches of African American culture… ________________________________________________________ *David Kastin is a music historian and educator who in 2011 was living in Brooklyn, New York. He was the author of the book I Hear America Singing: An Introduction to Popular Music, and a contributor to DownBeat, the Village Voice and the Da Capo Best Writing series. 1 After graduating from Lowell High School in 1939, Kerouac left the red-brick Massachusetts mill town for New York City, where he had been awarded a football scholarship to Columbia University. In order to bolster his academic credentials and put on a few pounds before his freshman season, Jack was encouraged to spend a year at Horace Mann, a Columbia-affiliated prep school popular with New York's middle-class intellectual elite.

  • Milt Hinton Institute Convenes at Oberlin & Milt Hinton Day Scheduled for June 16
    Milt Hinton Institute convenes at Oberlin & Milt Hinton Day scheduled for June 16 by Mike Telin For seven decades, bassist Milt Hinton played with the most influential artists in American music. While doing so, Hinton chronicled his experiences through the lens of his ever­present camera. This week the Oberlin Conservatory will celebrate its ties to the late performer with the Milt Hinton ​ Institute for Studio Bass, a biennial ​ summer program for developing musicians that takes place on the Oberlin campus from June 12 to 19. Designed for bass students ages 13­21 of all ability levels, the Institute consists of a week of master classes, performances, bass ensembles, studio sessions, lectures, and workshops. It focuses on a comprehensive range of genres: classical, early music, jazz, slap, Latin, and electric. Directed by Oberlin’s Professor of Jazz Studies and Double Bass Peter Dominguez, the Institute will feature the nation’s finest teachers and performers across a variety of styles. This year’s faculty will include John Clayton Jr., Max Dimoff, Scott Dixon, Diana Gannett, Robert Hurst III, Mimi Jones, John Kennedy, Audrey Melzer, Tracy Rowell, Donovan Stokes, Inez Wyrick, and Derek Zadinsky. At the heart of the program is Milt Hinton Day, a daylong celebration of the life and legacy of Hinton through film, music, and more. Free and open to the public, Milt Hinton Day takes place on Thursday, June 16, in multiple venues on campus. See our concert listings page for a complete list of Milt Hinton Day activities. ​ ​ The Institute is part of an ongoing relationship between Oberlin and the Hinton estate which assures that the legacy of “The Dean of Jazz bassists” will be kept alive well into the future.
