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”. -

The Recordings
Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links. They are not to be shared or downloaded, and the selections therein are only identified by their numbers from the complete list given below. Chapter I: 0001.

Eddie Preston: Texas Trumpeter Fallen Through the Cracks Dave Oliphant
Eddie Preston: Texas Trumpeter Fallen Through the Cracks Dave Oliphant 8 Photo of Eddie Preston from the album Charles Mingus in Paris. Courtesy Christian Rose and Sunnyside Communications. Identifying a jazz musician’s place of birth has interested me ever since my parents gave me a copy of Leonard Feather’s 1962 The New Edition of The Encyclopedia of Jazz. Some thirty years later it became essential for me to know which musicians hailed from my home state of Texas, once I had taken on the task of writing about Texans in jazz history. As a result of this quest for knowledge, I discovered, among other things, that guitarist, trombonist, and 9 composer-arranger Eddie Durham was born and raised in San Marcos, home to Texas State University. Although I never worked my way systematically through the Feather encyclopedia or any subsequent volumes devoted to the identification of musicians’ places and dates of birth, I mistakenly felt confident that I had checked every musician on any album I had acquired over the years to see if he or she was a native Texan. Following the 1996 publication of Texan Jazz, my survey of Texas jazz musicians, I discovered a few Texans and their recordings that I had not been aware of previously. When the opportunity arose, I included them in other publications, such as my 2002 study The Early Swing Era, 1930 to 1941, and my essay “Texan Jazz, 1920- 1950,” included in The Roots of Texas Music. Despite my best efforts to trace the origins of the many jazz musicians I chronicled, it took years before I realized that Eddie Preston (a trumpeter who was born in Dallas in 1925 and died in Palm Coast, Florida, in 2009) was a native of the Lone Star State. -
Derick Cordoba Dissertation
© 2017 Derick Cordoba LITURGICAL JAZZ: THE LINEAGE OF THE SUBGENRE IN THE MUSIC OF EDGAR E. SUMMERLIN BY DERICK CORDOBA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fuLfiLLment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Jazz Performance in the Graduate CoLLege of the University of IlLinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, IlLinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Lawrence Gray, Chair Professor GabrieL SoLis, Director of Research Associate Professor Tito CarriLLo Professor Erik Lund ABSTRACT This dissertation discusses the Lineage of Liturgical jazz with a particuLar focus on Edgar Eugene “Ed” SummerLin (1928-2006). This Lineage stretches back into the Late 1950s, but has LargeLy been unexplored beyond a seLect few high-profiLe artists. I trace the evoLution of Liturgical jazz from several composers’ earLiest attempts to the present day. ALthough the Liturgical jazz movement began in the Late 1950s, it was primariLy a product of the turbuLent 1960s in America. This was a period of great change and expLoration not onLy in jazz but in organized reLigion as weLL. A deep and frank discussion emerged as to what Liturgical music shouLd and wouLd be alLowed to sound Like. These decisions at the highest LeveLs of denominations had ramifications that are stiLL being feLt today in the churches of America; however, the primary focus of this dissertation is on the formative period of Liturgical jazz during the 1960s and earLy 1970s. These years give a basis for better understanding and appreciating the deveLopment and defining features of Liturgical jazz. SummerLin is a figure that is often cited as a pioneer in Liturgical jazz, but no one has offered a history of his Life, his music, or why his Liturgical music was so revoLutionary. -

Sonny Red Oral History 2020
BLUESVILLE: THE JOURNEY OF SONNY RED Anders Svanoe INTRODUCTION The first time I heard Sonny Red on record, I wondered, “Who is this guy?” Luckily for me, I had stumbled on Curtis Fuller's New Trombone, which started the nine-year (and still counting) love affair with Sonny Red (a.k.a. Sylvester Kyner). That particular record really caught my attention, since I had never heard that much trombone and alto saxophone pairing on the front line. But there was something almost suspicious in how these two masterful musicians blended and embellished every note together as if they were one. It seemed they knew each other well. Almost too well. Red's organic sound on the alto saxophone was a perfect match for Curtis Fuller. I couldn't explain why I liked it so much, other than to say it was captivating, heartfelt and real. Imperfectly perfect, if you can say that. In the following weeks I looked for additional record dates that featured Sonny, but found very few sessions available on CD. Not even Out Of the Blue, perhaps Red's finest effort, was available in the U.S. Now Sonny's albums are finally resurfacing on CD, and are beginning to attract positive attention. When these albums first came out in the late 1950s and early 1960s, they were sadly overlooked. This was a common problem for bebop alto players recording in the 1950s: there were just too many other great alto players recording a similar type of music, and Red's style somehow got lost in the mix. -
