Straight Six Heinz v. Hermann sax & flutes Dusko Goykovich trumpet & flugelhorn Joe Gallardo trombone Joerg Reiter piano Marc Abrams bass Bruno Castellucci drums What´s the idea of this band: Simply get the best musicians of my generation livin in Europe together to play the best Bebop/Hardbop/Mainstream arrangements from the era of Art Blakey, Slide Hampton, J.J.Johnson Sextet.... This music we grew up with, which has fascinated us a lifetime and therefore we became jazzmusicians. Which we also have lived over fifty years and only a few musicians nowadays are able to pülay it that authentically than us. Because we were lucky to have played together with these great creators of this music, we learned it from them and so it is our concern to keep this heritage alive! No Fusion, no Avantgarde, no Crossover, no political, racist or religious messages, simple "straight ahead" Jazz - but the finest, so the name "Straight Six" came up almost automatcally. For the rhythmus section I choose the best I ever played with in Europe: Joerg Reiter piano, Marc Abrams bass and Bruno Castellucci drums. Adding Dusko Goykovich on trumpet and Joe Gallardo on trombone, who als brins in a little „Latin-feeling“ with his arrangements.

  • Philip Catherine

    Philip Catherine

    PHILIP CATHERINE Sinds de jaren '60 is Philip Catherine één van de vooraanstaande figuren van de Europese jazzscène. Zijn samenwerking met jazzgrootheden zoals Chet Baker, Tom Harrell, NHOP, Stéphane Grappelli, Larry Coryell, Dexter Gordon, Charles Mingus, zijn unieke stijl en klankkleur alsook zijn ongebreidelde inzet voor de muziek zijn van een niet te miskennen invloed geweest op de ontwikkeling van de Europese jazz. Hij is net 18 jaar oud wanneer hij met het Lou Bennett trio op tournee door Europa trekt. In 1971 wordt hij door Jean-Luc Ponty gevraagd om mee te spelen in diens kwintet. Dat jaar verschijnt ook de eerste plaat onder zijn naam ‘Stream ’, gevolgd door de albums " September Man " en " Guitars " in 1974-75. Jazzliefhebbers uit de hele wereld ontdekken een nieuwe ster aan het jazzfirmament: een jonge, virtuoze gitarist die ook een begenadigd componist blijkt te zijn. Thema’s als ‘Homecomings’ en ‘Nairam’ zijn ondertussen beroemd geworden. Philip Catherine heeft meer dan 20 platen uitgebracht onder zijn naam en tevens talrijke opnames met artiesten van alle horizonten, van Chet Baker via Dexter Gordon tot de cultband Focus. De plaat ‘ Transparence ’ uit ’86 werd een bestseller en is tegelijk ook één van Philip’s uitverkoren opnames. Daarop volgen begin jaren ’90 twee schitterende cd’s met trompettist Tom Harrell : Moods Vol.I en II . In ’97 tekent Philip Catherine bij het jazzlabel Dreyfus Records. Zijn eerste cd voor dit platenlabel, “ Philip Catherine- Live ” is meteen ook het eerste live-album uit zijn discografie. De jazzkritiek is uiterst enthusiast. De Cd krijgt o.m. een 4 ½ ster-vermelding in “Down Beat” in de V.S.

    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.

    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.

    1 of 6 C A T E R I N A V A L E N T E THE CAREER OF AN INTERNATIONAL STAR! or simply A WOMAN BORN FOR MUSIC! London's DAILY SKETCH (1970) wrote: "Whatever it takes to be a star, she's got it"! This laconic statement implicates the superlatives used by other journalists all over the world. Whether they call her "Caterina la grande" in Italy or "Caterina the great" in England and the U.S.A., she is the same everywhere: an undisputed queen of show business. Celebrated by the public, awarded the highest praise by her peers, revered by the greatest musicians and popular among other artists. She is fortunate to have a blessed voice, unique musicality, and possesses a particularly distinctive feel for rhythm. But that's not all. This graceful woman worked on herself continuously and unwaveringly with incredible tenacity and an iron will. Whether she was singing, dancing, or playing solo guitar, she did so with total focus. Her abilities, combined with her charismatic personality gave this artist a glittering career and led to her becoming a well-established celebrity in the world of entertainment. To give a complete description of her career would take too long, so here is just a short summary of the most important stages of her success. 1931 Born on January 14 in Paris France. Her mother, Maria Valente, is a world-famous musical clown and her father, Giuseppe, is a talented musician. Her parents are Italian; Caterina therefore acquires Italian nationality. 1936 First appearance at the Friedrichsbau in Stuttgart within the family group.

BILL HOLMAN NEA Jazz Master (2010) Interviewee: Bill Holman (May 21, 1927 - ) Interviewer: Anthony Brown with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: February 18-19, 2010 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 84 pp. Brown: Today is Thursday, February 18th, 2010, and this is the Smithsonian Institution National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Oral History Program interview with Bill Holman in his house in Los Angeles, California. Good afternoon, Bill, accompanied by his wife, Nancy. This interview is conducted by Anthony Brown with Ken Kimery. Bill, if we could start with you stating your full name, your birth date, and where you were born. Holman: My full name is Willis Leonard Holman. I was born in Olive, California, May 21st, 1927. Brown: Where exactly is Olive, California? Holman: Strange you should ask [laughs]. Now it‟s a part of Orange, California. You may not know where Orange is either. Orange is near Santa Ana, which is the county seat of Orange County, California. I don‟t know if Olive was a part of Orange at the time, or whether Orange has just grown up around it, or what. But it‟s located in the city of Orange, although I think it‟s a separate municipality. Anyway, it was a really small town. I always say there was a couple of orange-packing houses and a railroad spur. Probably more than that, but not a whole lot.
