NH THE ARTISTS .ltenny Golson dt Uo. The elementswhich nourishartistic creativity are,quite properly,botb diverseand mysterious" Someartists find inspirationin the selectivityof isolation,while othersrespond to the multifarious stimuli of the world at large. Although an immenselyrespected and influential figure in thejazz community for severaldecades, those who krew Benny Golsonmainly through his compositionof severaljazz standards(for example,Elues March and,I RememberClifford), or his membershipin ArtBlakey's Jazz Messengersor the Jazztet with ArtFamer might be a bit surprised by this samplingof namesfrom his resum6-Mickey Rooney,Mattel Toys, The PartridgeFamily, Itzhak Perlman,Chevrolet, and M.A.S.H. At the very leastthis suggestsa man truly involved with the sweepof our society,and given the fact that much music on the tube reachesus almost subliminally, who knows how much the tasteofthe Americanpublic hasbeen improved by suchexposure to Benny's seductivemusical backgrounds?! Benny Golsonwas born in Philadelphiain 1929. As a youngsterhe first studiedpiano, then fell in love with the tenorsax after hearingAmett Cobb with Lionel Hampton. He was drawn to the entire tenor spectrum,from Bud Freemanand EddieMiller to Chu Berry, ColemanHawkins, and Ben Webster;this samecatholicity of viewpoint led him to appreciatethe Glenn Miller orchestra,a rare occurrencein his neighborhood.Perhaps here we seean anticipationof things to come,in that Benny's roots in the blues-basedtradition did not closehis earsand intellect to the rangeof altematives. Benny enteredHoward University in 1947,being forced to switch to clarinet,the "legit" saxophonenot thenconsidered by the powersthat be. Given that this negativeevaluation extendedto jazz itself, Benny departedafter three years; (he might take comfort in knowing that a similar attitudewas likewiseoperative at LINH at mid-century.) His professionalskills as both player and writer developedrapidly which led to associationswith Tad Dameron,Lionel Hampton, Earl Bostic, Dizzy Gllespie, Miles Davis, and JohnColtrane, as well as Blakey and Farmer-and he evendid somecharts for Benny Goodman. (One of his original tuneshits closeto home; Stablemateswas written for Herb Pomerovwhen his bis band was housedin an emnoriumnamed The Stable.) Later, Benny's insatiablecuriosity led him to study with the composerHenry Brant, notedfor his avant-gardetechniques nonetheless rooted in a thoroughfunctional knowledgeof earlier styles. SubsequentlyBenny became an accomplishedfilm and televisioncomposer, always punctuating thar activitywith srintsas a performer. Benny has toured SoutheastAsia for the State Department, and recently has been active in Europe and Israel. He composeda classical/jazzwork for string bass and chamberorchestra which was premiered by Rufus Reed, has written a piece for violinist Itzhak Perlman, and received a GuggenheimFellowship to work on his secondsymphony. He also has a JazzMaster's Award ftom the National Endowmentfor the Arts, and a festival of his music was presentedat Lincoln Center last March.

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SELECTED WORKS OF COMPOSERS ASSOCIATED WITH HOWARD UNIVERSITY Guericke Christopher Royal, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Chris Gekker School of Music Throughout its over 100 year history, Howard University has produced and attracted many talented composers of many musical genres. Limiting this project to any one genre or focus would have lessened the overall impact of the music they created and the inspiration that has been a lauded part of the institution. The project will demonstrate the various harmonic, melodic, rhythmic and emotional contributions of the selected composers through interpretation of their music on the trumpet. Composers have been connected to the university in three general ways: as students, alumni and faculty; as commissioned artists; and through the performance of their works by notable performers associated with Howard. The pieces selected for this project exemplify a wide range of musical expressions and compositional techniques, and hopefully have been presented in a way that allows the emotional impact of each piece to resonate in a unique fashion. The selected works tended to fall into the categories of A. Trumpet and Brass Works B. Spirituals/ Meditational/ Religious Works C. Popular and Jazz Pieces D. Organ or other Instrumental Works E. Works of Historical Reference or Significance In some cases, certain pieces may be categorized across multiple categories (e.g. an organ piece based on religious material). As this was also a recording project, great care was taken during the recording process to capture as much emotional content as possible through stereo microphone techniques and the use of high quality equipment.

    TD Jazz Concerts John Pizzarelli and Freddy Cole: Celebrating the centenary of Nat King Cole @ 100 Thursday, February 14, 2019 at 8:00pm Pre-concert Talk at 7:00pm This is the 913th concert in Koerner Hall John Pizzarelli, vocals & guitar Mike Karn, bass Konrad Paszkudzki, piano Freddy Cole, piano & vocals Elias Bailey, bass Randy Napoleon, guitar Quentin Baxtor, drums John Pizzarelli World-renowned guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli, established as one of the prime contemporary interpreters of the Great American Songbook, has expanded that repertoire by including the music of Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Antônio Carlos Jobim, and The Beatles. Having concentrated on the music of Paul McCartney, Johnny Mercer, and Frank Sinatra over the last two years, Pizzarelli has returned to the bossa nova of Jobim with his 2017 release Sinatra & Jobim @ 50. With co- vocalist Daniel Jobim, grandson of the legendary Brazilian composer, the two explore songs Sinatra and Jobim recorded, as well as add new songs flavoured with the spirit of the classic Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim album. Pizzarelli has toured North America, South America, Asia, and Europe, performing shows centered on Frank Sinatra’s centennial, the songs of Johnny Mercer, and a McCartney program, in which his quartet is joined by strings and a horn section. He also tours on a double bill with pianist Ramsey Lewis. While plenty of jazz greats influenced his work, Nat King Cole has been Pizzarelli’s hero and foundation over the last 25 years. He devoted two albums to his music, Dear Mr.

    JUKEBOX JAZZ by Ian Muldoon* ____________________________________________________ n 1955 Bill Haley’s Rock Around the Clock was the first rock and roll record to become number one on the hit parade. It had made a stunning introduction in I the opening moments to a film called Blackboard Jungle. But at that time my favourite record was one by Lionel Hampton. I was not alone. Me and my three jazz loving friends couldn’t be bothered spending hard-earned cash on rock and roll records. Our quartet consisted of clarinet, drums, bass and vocal. Robert (nickname Orgy) was learning clarinet; Malcolm (Slim) was going to learn drums (which in due course he did under the guidance of Gordon LeCornu, a percussionist and drummer in the days when Sydney still had a thriving show scene); Dave (Bebop) loved the bass; and I was the vocalist a la Joe (Bebop) Lane. We were four of 120 RAAF apprentices undergoing three years boarding school training at Wagga Wagga RAAF Base from 1955-1957. Of course, we never performed together but we dreamt of doing so and luckily, dreaming was not contrary to RAAF regulations.

  • Saxophone Colossus”—Sonny Rollins (1956) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Hugh Wyatt (Guest Essay)*
    “Saxophone Colossus”—Sonny Rollins (1956) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Hugh Wyatt (guest essay)* Album cover Original album Rollins, c. 1956 The moniker “Saxophone Colossus” aptly describes the magnitude of the man and his music. Walter Theodore Rollins is better known worldwide as the jazz giant Sonny Rollins, but in addition to Saxophone Colossus, he has also been given other nicknames, most notably “Newk” because of his resemblance to baseball legend Don Newcombe. To use a cliché, Saxophone Colossus best describes Sonny because he is bigger than life. He is an African American of mammoth importance not only because he is the last major remaining jazz trailblazer, but also because he helped to inspire millions of fans and others to explore the religions and cultures of the East. A former heroin addict, the tenor saxophone icon proved that it was possible to kick the drug habit at a time in the 1950s when thousands of fellow musicians abused heroin and other narcotics. His success is testimony to his strength of character and powerful spirituality, the latter of which helped him overcome what musicians called “the stick” (heroin). Sonny may be the most popular jazz pioneer who is still alive after nearly seven decades of playing bebop, hard bop, and other styles of jazz with the likes of other stalwart trailblazers such as Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Clifford Brown, Max Roach, and Miles Davis. He follows a tradition begun by Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker. Eight months after overcoming his habit at a drug rehabilitation facility called “the farm” in Lexington, Kentucky, Sonny made what the jazz cognoscenti rightly contend is his greatest recording ever—ironically entitled “Saxophone Colossus”—which was recorded on June 22, 1956.

  • Metaphorical Thoughts on the Birth of Bebop. by Renzo Carli* We Are in the Early Forties of Last Century. Let's Go Together To
    Metaphorical thoughts on the birth of bebop. by Renzo Carli* An environment. We are in the early forties of last century. Let’s go together to a nightclub on New York’s West 118th street, in the middle of Harlem: Minton’s Playhouse, housed in a room of the Hotel Cecil. The club takes its name from the owner, Henry Minton, an ex-saxophonist. In 1940, Minton handed over the running to Teddy Hill, a musician who had led a few orchestras in the past and was well liked by black jazzmen. Hill had a brilliant idea to make the place popular: have a small in-house group (Clarke on drums, Monk, as yet unknown, on the piano, Fenton on bass and Guy on trumpet); any of the numerous habitués who wanted to, could bring their instrument with them and play. It is a Monday night and already in the room, filled with cigarette smoke, a strange music can be heard, different from traditional jazz. We go inside: there are a few musicians, all black, involved in a very lively jam session; they are surrounded by a dense crowd of attentive listeners, all strictly black and mostly jazz players. There is a lot of smoke in the room; the musicians are playing in what seems a discordant way, with a very rapid succession of notes and chords that sound sharp but at the same time enthralling. We are at Minton’s on a Monday night, and we are there deliberately; it is the night off for the big New York swing orchestras that play dance music for the whites, and they can have a drink at Minton’s, listen to some extraordinary jam sessions, but also emerge from their passivity and throw themselves into the fray, improvising solos, developing the themes offered with daring new variations.

  • Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 by Jeffery S
    Delightfulee Jeffrey S. McMillan University of Michigan Press Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 By Jeffery S. McMillan This is an annotated listing of all known Lee Morgan performances and all recordings (studio, live performances, broadcasts, telecasts, and interviews). The titles of studio recordings are given in bold and preceded by the name of the session leader. Recordings that appear to be lost are prefaced with a single asterisk in parentheses: (*). Recordings that have been commercially issued have two asterisks: **. Recordings that exist on tape but have never been commercially released have two asterisks in parentheses: (**). Any video footage known to survive is prefaced with three asterisks: ***. Video footage that was recorded but appears to now be lost is prefaced with three asterisks in parentheses: (***). On numerous occasions at Slugs’ Saloon in Manhattan, recording devices were set up on the stage and recorded Morgan’s performances without objection from the trumpeter. So far, none of these recordings have come to light. The information herein is a collation of data from newspapers, periodicals, published and personal interviews, discographies, programs, pamphlets, and other chronologies of other artists. Morgan’s performances were rarely advertised in most mainstream papers, so I drew valuable information primarily from African-American newspapers and jazz periodicals, which regularly carried ads for nightclubs and concerts. Entertainment and nightlife columnists in the black press, such as “Woody” McBride, Masco Young, Roland Marsh, Jesse Walker, Art Peters, and Del Shields, provided critical information, often verifying the personnel of an engagement or whether an advertised appearance occurred or was cancelled. Newspapers that I used include the Baltimore Afro-American (BAA), Cleveland Call & Post (C&P), Chicago Defender (CD), New Jersey Afro-American (NJAA), New York Amsterdam News (NYAN), Philadelphia Tribune (PT), and Pittsburgh Courier (PC).
