Neglected Jazz Figures of the 1950S and Early 1960S New World NW 275
Introspection: Neglected Jazz Figures of the 1950s and early 1960s New World NW 275 In the contemporary world of platinum albums and music stations that have adopted limited programming (such as choosing from the Top Forty), even the most acclaimed jazz geniuses—the Armstrongs, Ellingtons, and Parkers—are neglected in terms of the amount of their music that gets heard. Acknowledgment by critics and historians works against neglect, of course, but is no guarantee that a musician will be heard either, just as a few records issued under someone’s name are not truly synonymous with attention. In this album we are concerned with musicians who have found it difficult—occasionally impossible—to record and publicly perform their own music. These six men, who by no means exhaust the legion of the neglected, are linked by the individuality and high quality of their conceptions, as well as by the tenaciousness of their struggle to maintain those conceptions in a world that at best has remained indifferent. Such perseverance in a hostile environment suggests the familiar melodramatic narrative of the suffering artist, and indeed these men have endured a disproportionate share of misfortunes and horrors. That four of the six are now dead indicates the severity of the struggle; the enduring strength of their music, however, is proof that none of these artists was ultimately defeated. Selecting the fifties and sixties as the focus for our investigation is hardly mandatory, for we might look back to earlier years and consider such players as Joe Smith (1902-1937), the supremely lyrical trumpeter who contributed so much to the music of Bessie Smith and Fletcher Henderson; or Dick Wilson (1911-1941), the promising tenor saxophonist featured with Andy Kirk’s Clouds of Joy; or Frankie Newton (1906-1954), whose unique muted-trumpet sound was overlooked during the swing era and whose leftist politics contributed to further neglect.

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.

Hubert Laws Nea Jazz Master (2011)
Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. HUBERT LAWS NEA JAZZ MASTER (2011) Interviewee: Hubert Laws (November 10, 1939 - ) Interviewer: Anthony Brown with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: March 4-5, 2011 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History Description: Transcript, 134 pp. Brown: Today is March 4th, 2011. This is the Smithsonian NEA Jazz Masters oral history interview with Hubert Laws in his home in Los Angeles, California, conducted by Anthony Brown and Ken Kimery. Good afternoon, Hubert. How are you doing? Laws: I’m fine, man. Brown: The last time I saw you was at the NEA Jazz Masters awards in January. You provided the first musical number, a duet with Kenny Barron, playing Stella by Starlight. I have to say, that was the high point of the evening. It could have stopped after that. That was, oh, incredible. Laws: It’s kind of you to say that, because I felt very good about that collaboration with Kenny. It’s so interesting, because we were supposed to have had a rehearsal that morning. We met in this little room on the side and we ended up – I said, “You know what? Let’s do – let’s just play for a while, and then we’ll lead on into Stella.” I said, “We may do that, or I may do another tune.” He said okay. That’s what I love about professional guys like him. They’re so flexible. We didn’t know what we were going to play in the beginning.

Iii E. the Jazz Component: the Fantasy Collection
III E. THE JAZZ COMPONENT: THE FANTASY COLLECTION III E1. The LPs For many serious researchers into the changes and developments in jazz during the late 1940s and the early 1950s it is the LP albums which are part of the collection that will be of major interest. In particular Bill Belmont, as he assembled the Fantasy collection for the Archives, was able to locate a selection of the earliest 10” Prestige LPs which had been almost forgotten in the Fantasy warehouse. It should be emphasised, however, that these are not the original Prestige releases, which now sell for thousands of dollars on the collector’s market. To satisfy a small core of serious jazz enthusiasts, most of them in Japan, Fantasy manufactured facsimiles of many of the most important LPs in their catalog. Although the new albums are imprinted with an inconspicuous notice “Manufactured from master owned by Fantasy, Inc.” they are in every other respect identical with the originals. They are an invaluable time capsule of this crucial period of jazz’s development - and in their often primitive albums covers and minimal presentation they suggest the marginal nature of jazz as this period began. Also, in their LP format the modern listener has an insight into the programming concepts that led to the presentation of the material on the LP’s two sides. THE PRESTIGE 10”ALBUMS These have been reproduced with the original one color covers and - in the beginning - simply catalog listings on the back of the cover. The album notes, generally by Ira Gitler, begin after the first few examples.

Milestone Records Discography
Milestone Label Discography Milestone Records was established in New York City in 1966 by Orrin Keepnews and Dick Katz. The label recorded mostly jazz with a small amount of blues. The label was made part of Fantasy Records in 1972. Since that time it has been used as a reissue label in addition to new jazz recordings. Milestone has also reissued many historic jazz recordings, including the Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver and the New Orleans Rhythm Kings recordings that were originally made in the 1920’s by Richmond Indiana label Gennett Records. This discography was compiled using Schwann catalogs from 1966 to 1982 and information from the Michael Fitzgerald website. www.JazzDiscography.com 2000 Series: MLP 2001 - The Immortal Ma Rainey - Ma Rainey [1966] Jealous Hearted Blues/Cell Bound Blues/Army Camp Harmony Blues/Explainin' The Blues/Night Time Blues/'Fore Day Honry Scat///Rough And Tumble Blues/Memphis Bound Blues/Slave To The Blues/Bessemer Bound Blues/Slow Driving Moan/Gone Daddy Blues MLP 2002 - The Immortal Johnny Dodds - Johnny Dodds [1967] Rampart Street Blues/Don't Shake It No More/Too Sweet For Words/Jackass Blues/Frog Tongue Stomp/C.C.

Album Title Index
Album Title Index (updated December 26, 2011) (Wolf Schmaler) Explanatory Information <1> Articles (The, A, Les, Die, Il) and first names at the beginning of an album title are not considered in the alphabetical order and listed in brackets, except they are an essential part of the album title (for example: Thelonious Himself). Numbers in titles are listed after letters. “[+1]”, “[+2]” (indicating more tracks than on the original) are not treated as part of the title <2> Album titles beginning with a number or a Roman numeral are listed after “Z”. “&” is listed like “and”. <3> The list includes all mentioned album titles in The Reference, with Coltrane’s participation or not, also album titles mentioned in the “typos and small corrections” and “issues/reissues” lists for the web site (marked as: “<see typos …>” or “<see “issues/reissues”>”). These entries and according page numbers are in bold types. There are bold notes “<for research>”, too, for releases that need a further check - these will be replaced in a future update. <4> Page numbers through 366 refer to the Chronology, page numbers 367 and higher refer to the Discography or Appendices. <5> Many albums are listed twice or more times, under titles and different “subtitles”; an example: CD Rhino R2-71255 “The John Coltrane Anthology: The Last Giant” is listed under “C”: (The John) Coltrane Anthology: The Last Giant and under “L”: (The) Last Giant: The John Coltrane Anthology <6> In a few cases reissues with a different title than the original are only listed for the first session they appear in the discography, but not for further sessions - so in these cases the page numbers do not show all mentions of this special issue.

Stan Getz: Forgotten Bebop Tenor Saxophonist
STAN GETZ: FORGOTTEN BEBOP TENOR SAXOPHONIST BY MARCUS HARLOWE WOLFE B.M., University of North Texas, 1999 M.M., University of North Texas 2002 DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2009 Urbana, Illinois © 2009 by Marcus Harlowe Wolfe. All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT Within the discussion of bebop being an evolution vs. a revolution, Stan Getz’s contributions as a tenor saxophonist have been underappreciated. In 1951, Getz demonstrated an improvisational vocabulary that was a fusion of his swing era style, inspired by the melodic conception of Lester Young, and the harmonic improvisations of Charlie Parker. The objective of this project is to establish Getz as a primary disseminator of the bebop style on the tenor saxophone by documenting his improvisational vocabulary specific to the era, and comparing it to recordings of his contemporaries. A secondary goal will be to support the evolutionary argument by showing that his vocabulary was itself a product of the evolutionary process. The solos, selected from recordings made in 1950 and 1951, are evaluated concerning harmony, melody, rhythm, and macro-level solo construction. With two exceptions, the transcriptions selected for this project were from the Storyville Sessions recorded October 28, 1951 in Boston. They include “Mosquito Knees”, “Move”, “Parker 51”, “Pennies from Heaven”, “Signal”, and “Wildwood”. “Split Kick” was recorded December 10, 1950 and “Yvette” was recorded August 15, 1951 in New York. All are available on the boxed set Stan Getz: the Complete Roost Recordings.
