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.

  • De Jaren Vijftig
    De jazz heeft altijd een ambivalente verhouding gehad met strijkinstrumenten. With trings (2) Jazzgroepen uitgebreid met strijkers lokken altijd felle reacties vóór en tegen uit. Joep van Leeuwen bekijkt in een aantal afleveringen de achtergrond van deze gemengde ensembles. De jaren vijftig Charlie Parker zelf geeft in 1949 het startschot voor de combinatie van moderne jazz en strijkers. Hoewel Just Friends goed klinkt, maken de resterende opnamen duidelijk dat be- perkte ruimte om te improviseren en het ontbreken van eigen composities problematisch zijn. Wat blijkt is dat With Strings pas succesvol is als de twee groepen binnen dit ensemble – de strijkers en de jazzers – stilistisch met elkaar in balans zijn. Joep van Leeuwen Kenton ven het orkest een nieuw gezicht. Stan Kenton beluisteren en ervaren maar biedt weinig diep- is daar een voorbeeld van samen met bijvoor- gang.

  • 1959 Jazz: a Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959
    GELB, GREGG, DMA. 1959 Jazz: A Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959. (2008) Directed by Dr. John Salmon. 69 pp. Towards the end of the 1950s, about halfway through its nearly 100-year history, jazz evolution and innovation increased at a faster pace than ever before. By 1959, it was evident that two major innovative styles and many sub-styles of the major previous styles had recently emerged. Additionally, all earlier practices were in use, making a total of at least ten actively played styles in 1959. It would no longer be possible to denote a jazz era by saying one style dominated, such as it had during the 1930s’ Swing Era. This convergence of styles is fascinating, but, considering that many of the recordings of that year represent some of the best work of many of the most famous jazz artists of all time, it makes 1959 even more significant. There has been a marked decrease in the jazz industry and in stylistic evolution since 1959, which emphasizes 1959’s importance in jazz history. Many jazz listeners, including myself up until recently, have always thought the modal style, from the famous 1959 Miles Davis recording, Kind of Blue, dominated the late 1950s. However, a few of the other great and stylistically diverse recordings from 1959 were John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz To Come, and Dave Brubeck’s Time Out, which included the very well- known jazz standard Take Five. My research has found many more 1959 recordings of equally unique artistic achievement.

    PROGRAM Washington Musica Viva October 5, 6 pm The Kennedy Center Millennium Stage PROGRAM Charley Gerard Dvořák Jazz Dances, inspired by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák’s two series of Slavonic Dances, Op. 46 and 72 Slap on it! Divorce Shack Slavonic Shuffle Minuet for Antonin Petka Calypslovonic Hobbling Toward Seven Afrolantonin Blue Shack A New World Like Sonny, Like Coltrane, Like Dvořák Performed by Carl Banner (piano), James King (bass), Charley Gerard (alto saxophone), Syberen van Munster (guitar) and Lenny Robinson (drums) QUOTE: "Just as Dvorak was inspired by the American landscape to compose some of his finest works, I have written Dvořák Jazz Dances, inspired by the Czech composer’s two series of Slavonic Dances, Op. 46 and 72. Jazz was a musical genre that itself was inspired by Dvořák’s American legacy. Duke Ellington and George Gershwin both received musical direction from musicians who studied under Dvořák when the composer was musical director at Jeannette Thurber’s short- lived National Conservatory. Each of my Dvořák Jazz Dances begins with a short excerpt of a Slavonic Dance and is followed by an original theme in which a kernel of the Dvořák theme is reinterpreted. Jazz improvisation is an important element of Dvořák Jazz Dances and I’m glad that I’ll have some excellent jazz musicians performing the work. Rhythmic invention and humor are key elements of my music, and I hope that these Dances are rhythmically compelling and sometimes funny." ~ Composer Charley Gerard ABOUT THE FESTIVAL The Mutual Inspirations Festival 2011 – Antonín Dvořák runs from September 8, 2011, commemorating the 170th anniversary of the birth of the composer, and ends on October 28, 2011, Czech National Day.
