  • BJO + Joe Lovano | Jazzaroundmag.Com
    BJO + Joe Lovano | jazzaroundmag.com http://jazzaroundmag.com/?p=3042 www.brusselsjazzorchestra.com Après l’album « BJO’s Finest – Live », première occasion de célébrer le vingtième anniversaire de l’orchestre emmené par Frank Vaganée, voici « Wild Beauty », une « Sonata Suite for the Brussels Jazz Orchestra » concoctée par Joe Lovano. Il faut dire que le saxophoniste, natif de Cleveland (USA) a toujours noué des liens très forts avec la Belgique. Après son passage au sein des orchestres de Woody Herman et Mel Lewis, si l’on excepte » Tones, Shapes and Colors » gravé en quartet avec Kenny Werner pour le label italien Soul Note, et « Paris- Batignolles » enregistré avec Henri Texier pour Evidence, c’est dans notre pays que le saxophoniste américain est venu réaliser l’un de ses premiers albums personnels : « Solid Steps » (Jazz Club Records), enregistré en 1986, en compagnie de Bert Joris, Michel Herr, Dré Pallemaerts et Hein van de Geyn. Par la suite, il sera l’invité de l’Act Big Band de Félix Simtaine (album « Extrêmes » sorti en 1987) et de Philip Catherine en 1988 (la composition Oostduinkerke sur l’album « Oscar »). En 1995, il enregistre « Rhythm Sphere » en compagnie d’Eric Legnini, Philippe Aerts et Félix Simtaine. Par ailleurs, les saxophonistes du BJO, Frank Vaganée, Bart Defoort, Kurt van Herck et Bo van der Werf, ont suivi des ateliers avec Joe Lovano. Enfin, en 2011, l’Américain a été le parrain des Dinant Jazz Nights. Pour Joe Lovano, cette Sonata Suite est d’abord l’occasion de célébrer ses racines italiennes, comme il l’avait déjà fait avec l’album « Viva Caruso » en 2002.

  • Benny Carter
    Benny Carter Bennett Lester Carter (August 8, 1907 – July 12, 2003) was an American jazz alto saxophonist, trumpeter, composer, arranger, and bandleader. He was a major figure in jazz from the 1930s to the 1990s, and was recognised as such by other jazz musicians who called him King. As a youth, Carter lived in Harlem around the corner from Bubber Miley who was Duke Ellington's star trumpeter. Carter was inspired by Miley and bought a trumpet, but when he found he couldn't play like Miley he traded the trumpet in for a saxophone. Carter began playing professionally at 15. He first recorded in 1928 and formed his first big band the following year. He played with Fletcher Henderson in 1930 and 1931, then briefly led McKinney's Cotton Pickers before returning to lead his own band in 1932. He also arranged for Henderson and Duke Ellington during these years and wrote two hits, "Blues in My Heart" and "When Lights are Low." By the early 1930s he and Johnny Hodges were considered the leading alto players of the day. Carter also quickly became a leading trumpet soloist, having rediscovered the instrument. He recorded extensively on trumpet in the 1930s. In 1935 he moved to Europe, where he became staff arranger for the British Broadcasting Corporation dance orchestra and made several records. He returned to the United States in 1938 and led a big band and sextet before moving to Los Angeles in 1943 to write for movie studios. Carter continued writing and performing into his 90s. He arranged for Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, and Sarah Vaughan, among many others.

  • XIV. Hanging in There 1990-2005
    XIV. Hanging in There (1990-2005) Another legitimate reason for including and reviewing the revival of older jazz musi- cians’ careers and the retro performers is that their ranks, and influence on the evolving jazz scene, was quite strong during the period under discussion in this chapter. While it is true that the number of jazz styles had actually thinned out by the 1990s, and in some cases had changed—the cool school as we knew it from the 1950s through the early 1980s, for example, had morphed into the less musically substantial style that became known as “ambient” or “smooth” jazz1— several styles had either disappeared or become so small that their continuance was now viewed as peripheral or insignificant. Saxophonist Arthur Blythe, an “outside” player who led a briefly successful small band that included both a cello and a tuba (but did not play classically influ- enced jazz), was probably the last such player to make an impact on the mainstream. The future belonged to a few bands who played more creative avant-garde jazz but stayed within more structured limits, the smooth or ambient groups, and a number of retro musicians who claimed to be reviving the “real” jazz just as the “moldy figs” of the 1940s, playing New Orleans and Chi- cago styled Dixieland during the bop era, claimed to be preserving real jazz. Ironically, both groups held a suspicion for large-band jazz, even the modern large-band jazz of Akiyoshi or Maria Schneider, whose own music grew out of her internship in the 1980s as an assistant to Gil Evans.
