  • Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail
    Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail. Cottontail stands as a fine example of Ellington’s “Blanton-Webster” years, where the ​ band was at its peak in performance and popularity. The “Blanton-Webster” moniker refers to bassist Jimmy Blanton and tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, who recorded Cottontail on May 4th, 1940 alongside Johnny Hodges, Barney Bigard, Chauncey Haughton, and Harry Carney on saxophone; Cootie Williams, Wallace Jones, and Ray Nance on trumpet; Rex Stewart on cornet; Juan Tizol, Joe Nanton, and Lawrence Brown on trombone; Fred Guy on guitar, Duke on piano, and Sonny Greer on drums. John Hasse, author of The Life and Genius of Duke ​ Ellington, states that Cottontail “opened a window on the future, predicting elements to come in ​ jazz.” Indeed, Jimmy Blanton’s driving quarter-note feel throughout the piece predicts a collective gravitation away from the traditional two feel amongst modern bassists. Webster’s solo on this record is so iconic that audiences would insist on note-for-note renditions of it in live performances. Even now, it stands as a testament to Webster’s mastery of expression, predicting techniques and patterns that John Coltrane would use decades later. Ellington also shows off his Harlem stride credentials in a quick solo before going into an orchestrated sax soli, one of the first of its kind. After a blaring shout chorus, the piece recalls the A section before Harry Carney caps everything off with the droning tonic. Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue. This piece is remarkable for two reasons: Diminuendo & ​ ​ Crescendo in Blue exemplifies Duke’s classical influence, and his desire to write more ​ grandiose pieces with more extended forms.

  • Thelonious Monk: Life and Influences Thelonious Monk: Life and Influences
    William Hanson Falk Seminar Spring 2008 Thelonious Monk: Life and Influences Thelonious Monk: Life and Influences Thelonious Monk was a prolific and monumental figure in modem jazz. He directly contributed to the evolution of bebop, as well as influenced the development of free jazz, and the contributed additions to the standard jazz repertoire. Monk branched out fiom his influences, including swing, gospel, blues, and classical to create a unique style of composition and performance. Monk more than any other major figure in bebop, was, and remains, an original1 Monk's life can be categorized into three periods: the early, the middle, and late period. Each period lasts roughly twenty years: from 1917- 1940,1940-1960, and from 1960-1982. In Monk's early period he toured the US playing gospel music, and found early influences in swing music like Duke Ellington. It wasn't until his middle period that Monk began to record and write his compositions, and in his late period he toured the world with other renowned musicians playing bebop. Thelonious Junior ~onl?was born October 10,191 7 in Rocky Mountain, North Carolina to Barbara Batts Monk and Thelonious Monk, Senior. Thelonious was the middle child, with an older sister, Marion born in 1915, and younger brother, Thomas born in 1919. Monk's birth certificate lists his father as an ice puller, and his mother as a household worker. Although both of his parents could read and write, they struggled to make enough to live on. In 1922 Thelonious' mother insisted that she take the family to New York to make a better living.

  • JELLY ROLL MORTON's
    1 The TENORSAX of WARDELL GRAY Solographers: Jan Evensmo & James Accardi Last update: June 8, 2014 2 Born: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Feb. 13, 1921 Died: Las Vegas, Nevada, May 25, 1955 Introduction: Wardell Gray was the natural candidate to transfer Lester Young’s tenorsax playing to the bebop era. His elegant artistry lasted only a few years, but he was one of the greatest! History: First musical studies on clarinet in Detroit where he attended Cass Tech. First engagements with Jimmy Raschel and Benny Carew. Joined Earl Hines in 1943 and stayed over two years with the band before settling on the West Coast. Came into prominence through his performances and recordings with the concert promoter Gene Norman and his playing in jam sessions with Dexter Gordon.; his famous recording with Gordon, “The Chase” (1947), resulted from these sessions as did an opportunity to record with Charlie Parker (1947). As a member of Benny Goodman’s small group WG was an important figure in Goodman’s first experiments with bop (1948). He moved to New York with Goodman and in 1948 worked at the Royal Roost, first with Count Basie, then with the resident band led by Tadd Dameron; he made recordings with both leaders. After playing with Goodman’s bigband (1948-49) and recording in Basie’s small group (1950-51), WG returned to freelance work on the West Coast and Las Vegas. He took part in many recorded jam sessions and also recorded with Louie Bellson in 1952-53). The circumstances around his untimely death (1955) is unclear (ref.

  • Leo Parker “Mad Lad ”
    1 The BARITONESAX of LEO PARKER “MAD LAD ” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: April 6, 2020 2 Born: Washington D. C., April 18, 1925 Died: NYC. Feb. 11, 1962 Introduction: Leo Parker was one of the very first bebop baritonesax performers and therefore an interesting subject. However, I am not sure we liked his playing very much …, too rough for us. Nevertheless, as time goes by, it is obvious that he is a candidate for jazz archeology! History: He first recorded on alto saxophone with Coleman Hawkins in 1944 (not quite true, see below). He changed to baritone saxophone during his tenure with Billy Eckstine’s orchestra (1944-46) and became known as one of the finest performers in the bop style on that instrument, modelling his playing on that of Charlie Parker. He worked on 52nd Street with a small group led by Dizzy Gillespie in 1946, and performed briefly in Gillespie’s big band. His recording with Sir Charles Thompson of “Mad Lad” (1947), which gained him wider public attention, demonstrates a style of improvisation combining elements of bop with an extroverted rhythm-and-blues idiom. In 1947 Leo Parker joined the group led by Illinois Jacquet and worked intermittently with Jacquet into the 1950s. In the 50s LP had problems with drug abuse, which interfered with his recording career. He recorded two albums as a leader shortly before his death by heart attack (ref. New Grove Dictionary of Jazz, and Wikipedia). 3 LEO PARKER SOLOGRAPHY TRUMMY YOUNG Chi.

It may seem trite to even address assembly of the instrument, but its been a common flaw not to develop good habits. I've seen broken mouthpieces, bent rods and necks several times from seasoned professionals who should have known better! This is precisely why its important to develop good habits when putting your instrument together. Prior to putting the mouthpiece on the neck, make certain that the cork is lubricated.
