  • Lou Donaldson
    BIO LOU DONALDSON --------------------------------------- "My first impulse is always to describe Lou Donaldson as the greatest alto saxophonist in the world." -- Will Friedwald, New York Sun Jazz critics agree that “Sweet Poppa Lou” Donaldson is one of the greatest alto saxophonists of all time. He began his career as a bandleader with Blue Note Records in 1952 and, already at age 25, had found his sound, though it would continue to sweeten over the years -- earning him his famed nickname --“Sweet Poppa Lou.” He made a series of classic records for Blue Note Records in the 50’s and takes pride in having showcased many musicians who made their first records as sidemen for him: Clifford Brown, Grant Green, Blue Mitchell, Donald Byrd, Ray Barretto, Horace Parlan, John Patton, Charles Earland, Al Harewood, Herman Foster, Peck Morrison, Dave Bailey, Leon Spencer, Idris Muhammad, and others. After also making some excellent recordings for Cadet and Argo Records in the early 60s, Lou’s return to Blue Note in 1967 was marked by one of his most famous recordings, Alligator Bogaloo. Lou’s hits on the label are still high demand favorites and, today at age 93, he is its oldest musician from that notable era of jazz. Though now retired, Lou continues to receive applause from fans worldwide who call and write to tell him how much they enjoy his soulful, thoroughly swinging, and steeped in the blues appearances over the years and still love listening to his recordings. Lou is the recipient of countless honors and awards for his significant contributions to jazz — America’s “classical music.”.

    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 [email protected] The Music Center Presents: Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration The Band Brian Blade: While studying at Loyola University in New Orleans, Brian Blade met Jon Cowherd and the two began making music together. The pair formed Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band in 1997 and has released five albums. Blade has performed and toured with Daniel Lanois, Ellis Marsalis, Bob Dylan and many other artists and, since 2000, has been the drummer with The Wayne Shorter Quartet. He has recorded and toured with Joni Mitchell since 1995, performing on her albums Taming The Tiger, Travelogue and Shine. Jon Cowherd: Jon Cowherd is best known for his long-running partnership with drummer/bandleader Brian Blade, with whom he co-founded the GRAMMY-nominated Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band. Together, their acclaimed, influential albums showcase Cowherd's stellar keyboard work and singular compositional skills. In 2017, Cowherd released Gateway, a new recording on the exclusive, vinyl only, Newvelle record label. He has played and recorded with Joni Mitchell as part of a collaboration with Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band. Christopher Thomas: GRAMMY-nominated Christopher Thomas was born in 1970 in St. Louis, Missouri. Although he’s the only musician in his family, Thomas took to music as if he were a born legacy. His musical venture began with the violin, and then quickly gravitated towards the cello. He began his bass studies under the guidance of Henry Lowe, principal bassist of the St. Louis Symphony. Thomas later attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison where he studied under the tutelage of Richard Davis.

  • Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 by Jeffery S
    Delightfulee Jeffrey S. McMillan University of Michigan Press Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 By Jeffery S. McMillan This is an annotated listing of all known Lee Morgan performances and all recordings (studio, live performances, broadcasts, telecasts, and interviews). The titles of studio recordings are given in bold and preceded by the name of the session leader. Recordings that appear to be lost are prefaced with a single asterisk in parentheses: (*). Recordings that have been commercially issued have two asterisks: **. Recordings that exist on tape but have never been commercially released have two asterisks in parentheses: (**). Any video footage known to survive is prefaced with three asterisks: ***. Video footage that was recorded but appears to now be lost is prefaced with three asterisks in parentheses: (***). On numerous occasions at Slugs’ Saloon in Manhattan, recording devices were set up on the stage and recorded Morgan’s performances without objection from the trumpeter. So far, none of these recordings have come to light. The information herein is a collation of data from newspapers, periodicals, published and personal interviews, discographies, programs, pamphlets, and other chronologies of other artists. Morgan’s performances were rarely advertised in most mainstream papers, so I drew valuable information primarily from African-American newspapers and jazz periodicals, which regularly carried ads for nightclubs and concerts. Entertainment and nightlife columnists in the black press, such as “Woody” McBride, Masco Young, Roland Marsh, Jesse Walker, Art Peters, and Del Shields, provided critical information, often verifying the personnel of an engagement or whether an advertised appearance occurred or was cancelled. Newspapers that I used include the Baltimore Afro-American (BAA), Cleveland Call & Post (C&P), Chicago Defender (CD), New Jersey Afro-American (NJAA), New York Amsterdam News (NYAN), Philadelphia Tribune (PT), and Pittsburgh Courier (PC).

  • Top 20 Soul Jazz for 2003 As Selected by Chuck Ingersol, Host of Soul Jazz Spectrum
    Top 20 Soul Jazz for 2003 as selected by Chuck Ingersol, host of Soul Jazz Spectrum 1. Ron Levy, FINDING MY WAY – Levy adds vibes, Fender Rhodes, even cello to his soul jazz mix, plus guest artists Karl Denson and Melvin Sparks. Rarely has soul jazz been so diverse and melodically interesting, while maintaining a rock-solid groove. 2. Javon Jackson, EASY DOES IT – Jackson seems far more excited and into his second soul jazz album than he was on his first a few years ago. Strong writing and great sidemen make for one of the year’s best soul jazz releases. 3. Roy Hargrove & the RH Factor, HARD GROOVE – It’s hip hop, rap and soul jazz, much more shaken than stirred. 4. Melvin Sparks, WHAT YOU HEAR IS WHAT YOU GET – Originally released on his own label, Savant picked up "WHAT YOU GET" in 2003. Inspired Sparks guitar and rowdy vocals produce an album that never drops below a slow boil. 5. Rodney Jones, SOUL MANIFESTO LIVE – Following up the SOUL MANIFESTO studio session, guitarist Jones and sidemen play with fire and imagination, and throw in a pretty ballad or two. 6. Dr. Lonnie Smith, BOOGALOO TO BECK – Contrary to what you may have initially thought, Dr. Lonnie proves you can, indeed, boogaloo to Beck! 7. Bill Heid, DA GIRL – One of the most technically adept and harmonically advanced organists, Heid blends post-bop and soul into a tasty mix more sophisticated than created by most organ combos. 8. The Crusaders, RURAL RENEWAL – The Crusaders re-energized, with catchy tunes and guest appearances from gospel singer Donnie McClurkin and Eric Clapton.

    DEEP BLUh E}OBEIY BFIOOM GREG ROCKINGHAM CHRIS FOFIEMAN 0HtHl\l ,'a' L f:,1;jjJ:,',,1 The music of Stevie Wonder left an indelible imprint on the minds of Bobby Broom, Chris Foreman, and Greg Rockingham while they were growing in the 1960s and '70s. Although all three musicians would come to focus on jazz as adults, ratherthan on pop and R&8, Wonder's songs were simply too sophisticated, melodically and harmonically, to forget. With Wondertul!, the Chicago-based Deep Blue Organ Trio's fourth CD and second for Origin Records, guitarist Broom, organist Foreman, and drummer Rockingham pay homage to Wonder with nine of his compositions rendered anew in the jazz organ trio tradition of which they have become among the world's most prominent purveyors. "Stevie was a huge influence on all of us," Broom states. "Most of my close friends were really into music long before I became a musician. I just remember anticipating his next release and everybody running and grabbing them up. Every Stevie release was an event, from Talking Book to Innervisions to Fullfíllingness' First Finale. That period in the early Seventies was monumental in terms of what he gave to us in that generation." Five of the selections on Wonderfull are drawn from the three aforementioned albums: "You've Got It Bad Girl" from L972's Talking Book, "Jesus Children of America" and "Golden Lady" from 1973's Innervisions, and "You Havent Done Nothin"'and "Ain't No Use" from L974's Fullfillingness' First Finale. "As" first appeared on the 1976 album Songs in the Key of Life.

  • Prestige Label Discography
    Discography of the Prestige Labels Robert S. Weinstock started the New Jazz label in 1949 in New York City. The Prestige label was started shortly afterwards. Originaly the labels were located at 446 West 50th Street, in 1950 the company was moved to 782 Eighth Avenue. Prestige made a couple more moves in New York City but by 1958 it was located at its more familiar address of 203 South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey. Prestige recorded jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. The New Jazz label issued jazz and was used for a few 10 inch album releases in 1954 and then again for as series of 12 inch albums starting in 1958 and continuing until 1964. The artists on New Jazz were interchangeable with those on the Prestige label and after 1964 the New Jazz label name was dropped. Early on, Weinstock used various New York City recording studios including Nola and Beltone, but he soon started using the Rudy van Gelder studio in Hackensack New Jersey almost exclusively. Rudy van Gelder moved his studio to Englewood Cliffs New Jersey in 1959, which was close to the Prestige office in Bergenfield. Producers for the label, in addition to Weinstock, were Chris Albertson, Ozzie Cadena, Esmond Edwards, Ira Gitler, Cal Lampley Bob Porter and Don Schlitten. Rudy van Gelder engineered most of the Prestige recordings of the 1950’s and 60’s. The line-up of jazz artists on Prestige was impressive, including Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Art Farmer, Red Garland, Wardell Gray, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet, “Brother” Jack McDuff, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Don Patterson, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Scott, Sonny Stitt and Mal Waldron.
