  • BOB SEDERGREEN: the INTERVIEW by Adrian Jackson*
    BOB SEDERGREEN: THE INTERVIEW by Adrian Jackson* _______________________________________________________ [This interview appeared in the December 1981 edition of Jazz Magazine] ver the last decade, I have had the pleasure of hearing pianist Bob Sedergreen play on many occasions: with vibist Alan Lee, with a succession of bands led O by Brian Brown, as the focal point of the Ted Vining Trio, with Onaje, as the wild card in Peter Gaudion’s Blues Express, providing fairly heroic support to visiting stars Jimmy Witherspoon, Phil Woods, Richie Cole and Milt Jackson, even solo. I have always enjoyed and admired his playing for its unflagging swing and qualities of joy, resourcefulness and commitment, and his determination to take chances at all times in search of inspiration, which he seems to find more frequently than most. He has long impressed me as a jazz musician who often plays ‘above himself’ because he has the courage to do just that. Bob Sedergreen: the sum total of his music is pure Sedergreen… In the last few years, he has continued to increase the scope and depth of his playing, and his confidence in it, to the point where he is obviously one of the best musicians in Australia. We have too few others who can so consistently be so exciting, original, inventive, surprising and enjoyable. __________________________________________________________ *In 1981 when this was published, Adrian Jackson was a freelance writer, who had been jazz critic with the Melbourne Age since 1978. 1 I won’t try to describe his playing. As with any really good jazz artist, his playing is a reflection of his listening and playing experiences, and his own personality.

Blessed — or cursed — with them, the artist stands apart, adopts a critical stance, and T inevitably comes into conflict with his or her artistic environment. The conflict may out of sheer frustration cost you an ear (Van Gogh), thrust upon the artist a self- protective cloak of stark eccentricity (Monk), or in much less dramatic fashion — in the case of Ted Vining —manifest itself in striving to create an environment for change. The desire for change — allied with a deep commitment to strenuously push jazz forward as an evolving art form — are obviously deeply embedded in the Ted Vining personality. But change, the drummer will tell you, is not what the Brisbane jazz scene — in Vining's terms, the jazz wilderness — is all about. Says Vining: "Brisbane is a jazz wilderness because many people feel lost here. The lost feeling comes from ___________________________________________________ *In 1983 when this was written, Neville Meyers was a librarian, jazz collector, part-time jazz programmer/announcer on Brisbane's 4MBS-FM, and veteran habitué of jazz clubs in Australia and the United States. 1 critically looking at the musical environment, noticing a lack of professionalism, and seeing in many of its musicians on stage, lack of reason for being there."

  • OBITUARY: HORST LIEPOLT 1927-2019 by Eric Myers [The Jazz Promoter Ho
    OBITUARY: HORST LIEPOLT 1927-2019 by Eric Myers __________________________________________________________ [The jazz promoter Horst Liepolt was born in Berlin, Germany, on July 27, 1927. He died in New York, USA, on January 9, 2019, aged 91. This is a longer version of the obituary which was published in The Australian newspaper on January 15, 2019.] nfluential in three cities — Melbourne, Sydney and New York — Horst Liepolt came from an artistic family. His grandfather was a classical oboe player from I Sweden, who migrated to Germany to join the Berlin Philharmonic, and his mother a concert pianist. His father was a writer. Liepolt (right) pictured here with the trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie… PHOTOGRAPHER UNKNOWN The young Horst was uninterested in classical music, and frequently fell asleep at the classical concerts to which he was dragged by his mother. Still, as a child, he was into sound. In an interview in 1979, he told me: “I used to really dig the bells ringing in the churches in Berlin — just the sound of them — at the time after everybody had knocked off work, before the night-life started, at a time when all cities are quiet, except maybe in the pubs”. He grew up in Nazi Germany, where the government was opposed to jazz. Still he listened to jazz records with friends and, during the war years, spent time in underground jazz clubs in Berlin. He was turned on to jazz in 1944, a time in Germany history when Allied bombers were flattening Berlin, shortly before Hitler retired to his bunker, near the end of the war.

  • 1 the ERROL BUDDLE STORY (PART ONE) By
    THE ERROL BUDDLE STORY (PART ONE) by Eric Myers ______________________________________________________________ [This article was serialised in the following editions of Jazz Magazine: July/August 1982, and September/October, 1982. The Errol Buddle Story (Part Two) appears on this site at the link https://www.ericmyersjazz.com/essays-8. ] hen I first came to Sydney from the country in 1962, the jazz scene was relatively dormant, compared to the lively activity we have today in the art form. The El W Rocco, in Kings Cross, was in full swing. But other than that rather gloomy cellar, where you were served coffee, sandwiches, but no alcohol, there were only one or two other places where you could hear live jazz. The three most prominent names in jazz at that time were, I suppose, Don Burrows, Errol Buddle and John Sangster. All played modern jazz regularly at the El Rocco in various groups, as leaders themselves, and as sidemen. They also were highly visible as studio musicians in the various television orchestras, which tended to reinforce their status — the top jazz players had a mortgage on the most lucrative studio work. I am not necessarily saying that these three men were the best players in Australian jazz. They may or may not have been. But certainly they were central figures, and there was a delightful symmetry about them: Burrows was from Sydney, Sangster from Melbourne, and Buddle from Adelaide. It seemed to me in accord with an Australian egalitarian spirit that our three major State capitals all had at least one great musician in the top echelon of Australian jazz.

  • HORST LIEPOLT: MAN with a PASSION by Eric Myers ______
    HORST LIEPOLT: MAN WITH A PASSION by Eric Myers ______________________________________________________________________________ [This article appeared in the December, 1979 edition of the magazine Encore.] ike everyone who wields power and influence, jazz producer and publicist Horst Liepolt has his share of critics and opponents. It was George Melly who L wrote that “jazz is a country of fiercely divided factions” and the Australian jazz scene, no less than any other area of the performing arts in this country, is no stranger to controversy. Horst Liepolt (perhaps unfairly) has often been the focal point of discussion about Australian jazz, purely because, in the entrepreneurial field, he is the one visible figure of influence — his is the only head to shoot at. Over the years he has developed an enviable reputation: the only jazz promoter who has shown that he can get things done, and successfully drum up work for a wide spectrum of jazz musicians. If he is the only real jazz promoter in Sydney, he can hardly be blamed for the fact that he does his chosen job better than the others who dabble in jazz promotion from time to time. Horst Liepolt (right) pictured here with the pianist David Martin (left) and the American singer Anita O’Day in 1981… PHOTO COURTESY AUSTRALIAN JAZZ MUSEUM A new era: When I spoke to him recently, Horst was at pains to minimise past controversy. One gets the feeling that, like jazz itself, he is on the brink of a new era. During the seventies there has been a resurgence of interest in jazz in Australia, so that now it reaches a wider public than ever before.

    BRIAN BROWN: STILL A FORCE by Adrian Jackson* _______________________________________________________ [This article appeared in the March/April, 1983 edition of Jazz Magazine.] Brian Brown: one of Australia’s most important modern jazz musicians for more than 20 years… PHOTO CREDIT JANE MARCH COURTESY JAZZ MAGAZINE elbourne musician Brian Brown has been one of Australia’s most important modern jazz musicians for more than 20 years now. He first achieved M celebrity status in 1974 when his quintet performed at The Basement and made the Sydney jazz scene sit up and take notice. The Brian Brown Quintet’s Carlton Streets launched Horst Liepolt’s 44 Records label, and Brown’s band began to receive invitations to appear at major music festivals around the country. If the Australian Jazz Explosion shot anyone to prominence, it was Brian Brown. ______________________________________________________ *When this was written in 1983 Adrian Jackson had been a freelance writer for several years, and jazz critic with the Melbourne Age since 1978. 1 But his contribution to Australian jazz extends back to the mid-’50s. That was when Brown, in his early 20s, returned home after a trip to England. He had acquired ideas about modern jazz that hadn’t really reached the Melbourne scene; together with trumpeter Keith Hounslow and drummer Stewie Speer, two greats of Australian jazz, and two novices in pianist David Martin and bassist Barry Buckley, Brown formed a Quintet that virtually introduced the hard bop genre of the ‘50s to Australia. The band played at Horst Liepolt’s fabled venue Jazz Centre 44, and the repertoire was drawn from the books of such American bands as [Art] Blakey’s, [Miles] Davis’s and [Sonny] Rollins’.
