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.

    American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLII, Number 2 Sprimg 2013 “Live From The East”: Pharoah Sanders in Brooklyn By Jeffrey Taylor, Brooklyn College, CUNY Though for most jazz historians Brooklyn remains in the shadow of Manhattan, two previous articles in this journal have documented a robust tradition that can be traced back as far as performances by The Creole Band at Coney Island in 1915.1 Though often paralleling musical developments across the East River, Brooklyn jazz has also been shaped by the unique dynamic of the borough’s ethnic and racial makeup, as well as the very spe- cial qualities of its many, often insular, neighborhoods.2 The historically black neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant in central Brooklyn, or “Bed-Stuy” as it is more commonly referred to, has long been a center of jazz, with its “Golden Age” of the 1940s and 1950s seeing performances by first-tier jazz musicians, includ- ing Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and many oth- ers. Though the popular imagination may now see Bed-Stuy primar- ily as a backdrop for Spike Lee movies, it boasts a black presence that goes far back into the 19th century, with the establishment of communities of freedmen in places such as Weeksville—now part of neighboring Crown Heights. With the construction of the A train in the mid-1930s, which connected Bed-Stuy with Harlem, the neigh- borhood became a cultural mecca that rivaled Manhattan’s larger and more famous African American community.

    Part 1 of Selected Discography Milt Hinton as Leader or Co-leader Compiled by Ed Berger (1949-2017) - Librarian, journalist, music producer, photographer, historian, and former Associate Director, Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University. It is estimated that between 1930 and 1995, Milt Hinton performed on more than nine hundred jazz record sessions. He made at least as many records, especially during the ’50s and ’60s, that featured hundreds of non-jazz performers, as well as countless jingles and film and television soundtracks. Specific and comprehensive information about Hinton’s recordings outside of jazz is nearly impossible to obtain. A partial list of non-jazz performers with whom he recorded includes: Paul Anka, Pearl Bailey, Harry Belafonte, Tony Bennett, Brook Benton, Archie Blyer, Teresa Brewer, Diahann Carroll, the Clancy Brothers, Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Sam Cooke, Bing Crosby, Vic Damone, Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis Jr., the Drifters, Percy Faith, Eddie Fisher, Connie Francis, Judy Garland, Jackie Gleason, Arthur Godfrey, Eydie Gormé, Skitch Henderson, John Lee Hooker, Lena Horne, Langston Hughes, Mahalia Jackson, Jack Jones, Frankie Laine, Steve Lawrence, Guy Lombardo, Johnny Mathis, Paul McCartney, Bette Midler, the Mills Brothers, Mantovani, Willie Nelson, Patti Page, Leontyne Price, Leon Redbone, Della Reese, Debbie Reynolds, Frank Sinatra, Kate Smith, Barbra Streisand, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Bobby Vinton, Dionne Warwick, Roger Williams, Jackie Wilson, and Hugo Winterhalter. The recording location is the New York City area unless otherwise noted. CDs have the same title as the LPs unless otherwise noted.

  • Randy Weston and Pharoah Sanders' Work with Gnawa
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “A Look Outwards, A Look Inwards”: Randy Weston and Pharoah Sanders’ Work with Gnawa Musicians A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Masters of Art in African American Studies by Alfredo Rivera 2017 © Copyright by Alfredo Rivera 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS “Looking Outwards, Looking Inwards”: Randy Weston and Pharoah Sanders’ Work with Gnawa Musicians by Alfredo Rivera Master of Arts in African American Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Robin Davis Gibran Kelley, Chair In 1968, Randy Weston became the first western musician to relocate to Morocco and work with the Gnawa M’Alem, master healers and musicians whose ancestral roots can be traced to ancient empire of Ghana. Pharoah Sanders has performed and recorded with Gnawa musicians since at least the early 1990s. This thesis looks at how these two artists independently engaged Gnawa music, tradition and spirituality, and the impact their collaborations had on their own work. Neither artist was driven by commercial interests or a nostalgic desire to return to their African roots. Instead, as I will demonstrate through musical description and analysis of significant recordings and video performances, their collaborations with the Gnawa musicians generated musical innovation while paying heed to tradition, providing a particularly rich case study of musical transculturation, rehistoricization, and the use of imagination across the Black Atlantic. ii The thesis of Alfredo Rivera is approved.
