Jazz Collection: Don Friedman Dienstag, 12. Mai 2015, 21.00 - 22.00 Uhr Samstag, 16. Mai 2015, 22.35 - 24.00 Uhr (Zweitsendung) Der Pianist Don Friedman ist ein Alleskönner. Mit Störpotential. Don Friedman gehört zu den Alleskönnern am Klavier, er ist ein typischer «man for all sessions». Was ihm sicher viel Arbeit beschert hat - aber auch ein wenig die Gefahr, dass ihn das Publikum nicht als eigene Stimme wahrnimmt. Was bei einem solchen musikalischen Kaliber ein Fehler wäre. Der Zürcher Pianist Chris Wiesendanger zeigt den ganzen Don Friedman, den zuverlässigen Sideman und den abenteuerlustigen Jazz-Freibeuter, im Gespräch mit Jodok Hess.

Victory and Sorrow: the Music & Life of Booker Little
ii VICTORY AND SORROW: THE MUSIC & LIFE OF BOOKER LITTLE by DYLAN LAGAMMA A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History & Research written under the direction of Henry Martin and approved by _________________________ _________________________ Newark, New Jersey October 2017 i ©2017 Dylan LaGamma ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION VICTORY AND SORROW: THE MUSICAL LIFE OF BOOKER LITTLE BY DYLAN LAGAMMA Dissertation Director: Henry Martin Booker Little, a masterful trumpeter and composer, passed away in 1961 at the age of twenty-three. Little's untimely death, and still yet extensive recording career,1 presents yet another example of early passing among innovative and influential trumpeters. Like Clifford Brown before him, Theodore “Fats” Navarro before him, Little's death left a gap the in jazz world as both a sophisticated technician and an inspiring composer. However, unlike his predecessors Little is hardly – if ever – mentioned in jazz texts and classrooms. His influence is all but non-existent except to those who have researched his work. More than likely he is the victim of too early a death: Brown passed away at twenty-five and Navarro, twenty-six. Bob Cranshaw, who is present on Little's first recording,2 remarks, “Nobody got a chance to really experience [him]...very few remember him because nobody got a chance to really hear him or see him.”3 Given this, and his later work with more avant-garde and dissonant harmonic/melodic structure as a writing partner with Eric Dolphy, it is no wonder that his remembered career has followed more the path of James P.

New York Quartet
NEW YORK STANDARDS QUARTET Tim Armacost David Berkman Gene Jackson Ugonna Okegwo 1 "Power of 10" is notable for its powerful music, intelligent interactions, excellent solos...The New York Standards Quartet takes music many listeners are familiar with, styles we can put a name to, and creates a program that illustrates just how alive jazz can be. RIC Richard Kamins, Hartford Courant 2 new york standards quartet biography When we formed the New York Standards Quartet (nysq) ten years ago, the concept was a straightforward one: play jazz standards in our own way. After playing a lot of original music (we all compose and lead bands that do that) we thought it would be fun and liberating to play music based on simpler, standard jazz tunes that we had grown up playing. By playing jazz standard tunes like “Confirmation” and “All the Things You Are,” we put the focus on the playing of the tune—what we do with it, not so much the tune itself. These tunes are blank slates to write on, with a lot of freedom and room for interpretation. We’ve expanded our approach to include arrangements and reinventions of these tunes, as well as original compositions that have a close connection to forms and harmonies derived from standards. The band has been touring and developing together for ten years, and it shows in the music. Audience response has been phenomenal, and bookings are pouring in from festivals and venues around the world. The New York Standards Quartet is Tim Armacost (Billy Hart, Ray Drummond, Kenny Barron) on saxes and flute, David Berkman (Tom Harrell, Cecil McBee, Vanguard Orchestra) on piano, Gene Jackson (Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland) on drums, and Ugonna Okegwo (Brad Mehkdau, Tom Harrell, Kurt Rosenwinkel) on bass.

Charles Lloyd Jumping the Creek
ECM Charles Lloyd Jumping the Creek Charles Lloyd: tenor and alto saxophones, taragato; Geri Allen: piano; Robert Hurst: double-bass; Eric Harland: drums, percussion ECM 1911 CD 6024 982 4130 (1) Release: April 4th 2005 “Reasons you should connect with Charles Lloyd: He embodies all the best of jazz – the conception, the technique, the communication, the spirit. He always ignites a world class band....” Greg Burk, in the LA Weekly In his liner notes for “Jumping the Creek”, Stanley Crouch draws attention to the Charles Lloyd ensemble as well as its charismatic leader: “Since part of jazz composing is selecting musicians who can make up their own parts dependent on the kind of material played, we can judge Charles Lloyd not only through his playing, his writing , and the material he selects, but through the marvelous quality of his ensemble’s flexibility. Geri Allen and Bob Hurst are already masters and Eric Harland has the technique, taste and imagination to become one.” Even before he became a ‘bandleader’ in the standard sense, Charles Lloyd revealed a special capacity for marshalling an ensemble’s resources, hence his job, in his early 20s, as musical director of Chico Hamilton’s groups. He has always had remarkable musicians around him. His very first album as a leader, 1964’s “Discovery”, found him flanked by Don Friedman, Richard Davis and Roy Haynes. Gabor Szabo, Ron Carter and Tony Williams formed his next recording band. The history-making quartet of the mid-to late 1960s introduced Keith Jarrett and Jack DeJohnette to the world at large.

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.

Don Friedman started playing piano at age four. Though he had no exposure to jazz, Don taught himself to improvise. He eventually studied jazz at Los Angeles City College, while displaying his hard bop credentials by gigging with Dexter Gordon. He made his first records as a sideman with trumpeters Hank DeMano and Jack Millman. Buddy DeFranco hired him for a tour that included gigs at New York’s Birdland and Basin Street. He recorded as a leader for producer Orrin Keepnews at Riverside records in the early ’60s winning critical acclaim. By 1965, Friedman had been named a New Star in Down Beat's annual Critics’ Poll.

October 2011 | No. 114 Your FREE Guide to the NYC Jazz Scene nycjazzrecord.com George Benson Return of the Guitar Man ARE U SPECIASL GUIIST Vic Juris • Mary Halvorson • Loose Torque • Event Calendar When one thinks of the instrument that most closely defines jazz, the saxophone is the obvious choice. But guitar has been making a strong case for decades now and some of the most compelling players in jazz history have been six-stringers. New York@Night What makes the guitarist most interesting is that they often have the most 4 expansive view of jazz and its possibilities, saddled with less history and fewer Interview: Vic Juris archetypes. We feature three of them in this, our special Guitar Issue. George Benson (On The Cover) has been a polarizing figure, heir to the throne of Wes 6 by Ryan Blotnick Montgomery but willing to disappoint purists because of his crossover activities; Artist Feature: Mary Halvorson Benson plays Town Hall this month in support of his new (return-to-jazz) album Guitar Man. Vic Juris (Interview) got his start, like many of his kind, working with by Martin Longley 7 organists, but also absorbed the nascent fusion movement, establishing his On The Cover: George Benson credentials with Dave Liebman and as a leader and educator; Juris plays around by Bill Milkowski town several times this month. And Mary Halvorson (Artist Feature) has rightly 9 been described as a unique voice on her instrument, to which her various projects Encore: Lest We Forget: and appearances as a sideman attest; this month she plays with mentor Anthony 10 Braxton as well as leading or co-leading several typically wide-ranging projects.
