Hubert Laws – Afro Classic houstonpress.com/music/legendar (Speakers Corner/CTI 6006. LP review by Andrew Cartmel) Show Summary LondonJazz Another classic from the CTI (Creed Taylor Incorporated) catalogue, revived on state 2h Broadbent Mancio Songbook News of the art vinyl by Speakers Corner. These are beautiful, lucid recordings engineered @LondonJazz by the great Rudy Van Gelder in December 1970, featuring flautist Hubert Laws as Newsweek feature about leader. Laws had begun recording his own albums at Atlantic (also the home of @gregoryporter Herbie Mann, the other leading exponent of jazz flute) before being lured away by newsweek.com/2015/10/09/rb- Creed Taylor. Laws’s jazz credentials are flawless, but he also had a considerable Show Summary presence in the world of classical music — having studied at Juilliard before playing orphy 9h with the New York Philharmonic and Metropolitan Opera orchestras. The ‘Classic’ in @Orphyvibes the title alludes to Laws’s interest in classical music, and in this pursuit he’s aided Magic Science Quartet - signifcantly by Don Sebesky, one of CTI’s cornerstone arrangers. Sebesky was a Marshall Allen & Henry graduate of the Tommy Dorsey and Stan Kenton big bands and had already scored Grimes with Black Top this Weds at 11.30 p.m. big (in every sense) for Creed Taylor with his work on some bestselling Wes Tweet to @LondonJazz Montgomery albums. But before the classical explorations we’re treat to an astonishing version of James Taylor’s Fire and Rain. The hesitant lyricism of Laws’s flute sings the theme against IN THE TOP TEN PRS For Music Foundation a menacing drone of the bass (Ron Carter) and some ominous fragments of percussion (Airto and Richie ‘Pablo’ Landrum) which suggest the darker aspects of the song, before the childlike purity of electric piano by Bob James, echoed by Laws’s flute, profoundly changes the mood. A staccato stutter of military drums (Fred Waits) and fluttering flute effect another transformation. A sustained linear note from Laws fractures into coloured shards and precedes the most striking development in the piece. The song turns into an hallucinogenic tapestry of electronica, combining Gene Bertoncini’s guitar, David Friedman’s fuzz pedal vibes and Bob James’s keyboards and ends with an amazing, sustained electronic shimmer. An acid era masterpiece. Links We Like - UK Jazz Bach’s Passacaglia In C Minor opens with the powerful, dark murmurings of Ron bebop spoken here Jason Isaacs @ Bonbar, Carter’s bass, which provides soft shadowed slopes for the bright skating of Bob Newcastle - Sept. 27 James’ electric piano. Gene Bertoncini is also a master of the acoustic guitar, as he The Jazz Mann demonstrates here, and he’s accompanied by Carter doubling on electric cello. Michael Janisch - Michael Bertoncini’s strumming, Laws’s downward-spiralling flute and Bob James’s Janisch’s Paradigm Shift, Leam Jazz, Leamington Spa Rugby descending scales on the electric piano intertwine virtuosically. Meanwhile Airto and Club, Leamington Spa, Landrum’s catchy ethnic percussion provide some of the ‘Afro’ of the album’s title. 23/09/2015. James plays his keyboards with a forceful percussive drive which pushes them to thebluemoment.com the edge of distortion and Fred Waits works alchemy with his drum kit. Bertoncini Discreet Music: 40 years on swaps to electric guitar, Carter saws sour-sweet country licks on the electric cello. The Jazz Breakfast Then frayed, worrying phrases played by Laws on electric flute take the piece in a Liane Carroll – Seaside fascinating new direction. Bertoncini returns for a lonely coda on acoustic guitar, Jazz Yorkshire ghosted by Carter’s bass before the ensemble returns, joined by Friedman’s vibes. Laura Kinsella and Ben UA Launch United Music Crosland premiere new work at Marsden Jazz Festival Attempts at ‘jazz meets classical music’ can go horribly wrong, but the poised Liam Noble's Brother Face beauty and understated elegance of the Passacaglia suggests that it’s a viable form blog after all. This entire album is also noteworthy for highlighting how effective and The Quiet Coach utterly musical even the oddest electric instruments can be, when used by the right Corey Mwamba's players working with the right arranger. This is a 1970s classic reborn on vinyl and Cognizance sounding superb.

  • “Mongo” Santamaría
    ABOUT “MONGO” SANTAMARÍA The late 1940's saw the birth of Latin Jazz in New York City, performed first by its pioneers Machito, Mario Bauza, Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo. Ramón "Mongo" Santamaría Rodríguez emerged from the next wave of Latin Jazz that was led by vibraphonist Cal Tjader and timbalero Tito Puente. When Mongo finally became a bandleader himself, his impact was profound on both the Latin music world and the jazz world. His musical career was long, ushering in styles from religious Afro-Cuban drumming and charanga-jazz to pop- jazz, soul-jazz, Latin funk and eventually straight ahead Latin jazz. From Mongo’s bands emerged some young players who eventually became jazz legends, such as Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and Hubert Laws. I had a chance to meet Mongo a few times during the years which culminated in a wonderful hangout on my radio show Jazz on the Latin Side, broadcast on KJazz 88.1 FM in Los Angeles) where he shared great stories and he also sat in with the live band that I had on the air that night. What a treat for my listeners! After his passing I felt like jazz fans were beginning to forget him. So I decided to form Mongorama in his honor and revisit his innovative charanga-jazz years of the 1960s. Mongo Santamaría was the most impactful Jazz “conguero” ever! Hopefully Mongorama will not only remind jazz fans of his greatness, but also create new fans that will explore his vast musical body of work. Viva Mongo!!!!! - Mongorama founder and bandleader José Rizo .

BILL HOLMAN NEA Jazz Master (2010) Interviewee: Bill Holman (May 21, 1927 - ) Interviewer: Anthony Brown with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: February 18-19, 2010 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 84 pp. Brown: Today is Thursday, February 18th, 2010, and this is the Smithsonian Institution National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Oral History Program interview with Bill Holman in his house in Los Angeles, California. Good afternoon, Bill, accompanied by his wife, Nancy. This interview is conducted by Anthony Brown with Ken Kimery. Bill, if we could start with you stating your full name, your birth date, and where you were born. Holman: My full name is Willis Leonard Holman. I was born in Olive, California, May 21st, 1927. Brown: Where exactly is Olive, California? Holman: Strange you should ask [laughs]. Now it‟s a part of Orange, California. You may not know where Orange is either. Orange is near Santa Ana, which is the county seat of Orange County, California. I don‟t know if Olive was a part of Orange at the time, or whether Orange has just grown up around it, or what. But it‟s located in the city of Orange, although I think it‟s a separate municipality. Anyway, it was a really small town. I always say there was a couple of orange-packing houses and a railroad spur. Probably more than that, but not a whole lot.

  • IX. Surviving Free Jazz 1962-1974
    IX. Surviving Free Jazz (1962-1974) And so it came to pass that, when jazz finally reached a level of complexity on a par with classical music, many people were unhappy—not only listeners in the audience, but record com- panies who couldn’t sell the stuff and musicians who either didn’t get it or didn’t want to play it if they did. It was just too bizarre to them, yet the jazz critics almost universally fell over them- selves promoting it and, by the mid-1960s, jazz as an art form was thriving (sort of) while jazz as a commercial music was all but dead. Theodor Adorno, teaching his elitist bile out in California, was probably ecstatic. Classical music, which had also entered a new and even more convoluted phrase of development as well, was similarly struggling to find audiences, but in this case the decision-making was relatively easy. The Boards of Directors of major symphonies and opera houses simply enforced a policy of allowing only a small number of contemporary works (and, in their judgment, “contemporary” went back to Schoenberg’s and Stravinsky’s work of the 1910s) per year on their programs. You either played the accepted standard repertoire, which they would now expand to include Gustav Mahler (who had formerly been verboten), or your contract would be nullified and a new music director would be hired. From this point on, I will unfortunately have to point out the weaknesses in the aesthetics of certain musicians in certain styles in order to elucidate the forward growth of the music.
