BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: http://library.umkc.edu/spec-col-collections/lewis-mel

Mel Lewis (May 10, 1929-February 2, 1990) was born Melvin Sokoloff in Buffalo, New York, to Russian immigrant parents. His father was a drummer in the Buffalo area who inspired his son to follow in his footsteps from an early age. Still in his mid teens, Lewis played with nationally known musicians Harold Austin and Lenny Lewis. Early credits also include stints with Bernie Burns (1946), (1948), Alvino Rey (1948-9), (1949-50, 1953-54), and (1950- 53). In 1954 he joined 's band, playing alongside such musicians as , , Laurindo Almeida, Vido Musso, and vocalist . During his three-year tenure with Kenton, Lewis also worked and recorded with the quintet and the Trio.

In 1957, Lewis settled in Los Angeles where he led a quintet with another ex-Kenton sideman, saxophonist . He worked with the big bands of and , recording with the latter between 1959-62. The early 1960s saw Lewis in New York with the Concert , in Europe with , and in Russia with . Lewis moved to New York in 1963 and formed a with trumpeter two years later. The Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra performed and recorded extensively, garnering rave reviews and awards. Their performance on the Live in earned them a Grammy Award in 1979.

After twelve productive years, Jones left for Europe and Lewis assumed sole leadership of the band. With the departure of Jones, Kansas City-born trombonist/pianist/arranger Bob assisted in the musical direction of the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra. Lewis established a residency at the prestigious that spanned over two decades, where he performed up until one month prior to his death in 1990. The orchestra continued to tour and record , as well as to perform every under the moniker, The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra.

Lewis, best known for his small group approach to big band drumming, was one of the first drummers to vary the ride cymbal beat, giving the music a loose and swinging feel. His commanding presence never dominated the spotlight and always stressed the interplay between the band members. Marr Sound Archives Miller Nichols Library University of Missouri, Kansas City

"How much you stick in depends on how much you can hear," Lewis explained during a 1989 radio broadcast on the history of , "and if you're really hearing, you'll put in only what's necessary." This multi-part broadcast for New York's 89.9 FM WKCR may be listened to in the Marr Sound Archives upon request.

Mel Lewis was the recipient of numerous awards, including fourteen Grammy nominations from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Lewis authored It's Time for the Big Band Drummer (Kendor Music Co, 1978), a drumming method book, and taught workshops on jazz drumming at William Patterson State College in New Jersey.

I’ve been singing jazz there for about 4 years, mostly with small groups, but occasionally as a soloist with big bands. Enclosed is a cassette with a few live big band numbers and some selections from my last LP (released in Europe in ML.CAS.443 July ’82) “The Dancer” with Dennis Luxion on piano, Rudi Schroeder on bass, Clarence Becton on drums and Wilson de Oliveira on saxes and flute.; There are two reasons that I’m writing to you. First of all, I’ve heard your band in concert (in , Germany) several times and have much respect for your music. If there were any possibility to work with the band (particularly live), I would be terrificly [sic] interested (and grateful for the experience).; Secondly, all of my work up until now has been in Europe, and since I’m planning to return to the States in November to live, I’m also now looking for a booking agent to help me plan some work for the fall and winter. The few musicians I do know in the States are all working steady now (on the west coast doing studio work, in Woody Herman’s band, or in Marr Sound Archives Miller Nichols Library University of Missouri, Kansas City

Atlantic City) and they have all recommended I get in touch with you. Would you have any suggestions (or advice) for me?; Right now I’m in New Jersey visiting my parents and will be staying until April 29th. If you have time, I could come up to New York to meet with you. Are you still playing at the Vanguard every Monday? Please let me know if you have any ideas. Many, many thanks in advance. Yours truly, Rachel Gould Rachel Gould – Info: Rachel Gould has come a long way on the European jazz vocal scene since her arrival in Germany in the spring of 1975. She has sung several times with the Erwin Lehn Big Band for Sueddeutsche Rundfunk; she appeared on one of Bill Ramsey’s “Geheimtip” television Dieter Reith; she guested with her own trio on Peter Horton’s “Café In Takt” for Norddeutscher Rundfunk-TV; she sang for French Radio in Paris; she has been guest soloist several times for AVRO Radio in Holland with the Skymasters Big Band’s live “Swingtime” program; she toured Poland 3 times appearing at the “Jazz On The Oder Festival,” recording for Polish radio and participating in the “9th Meeting of Jazz Vocalists” in Lublin where she was awarded a prize for her excellent vocalizing. She has had engagements in clubs, concerts and festivals throughout Europe and recorded her first jazz LP “All Blues” with trumpeter Chet Baker. Rachel has contributed vocalizing, composing and lyrics to other artists’ recordings and her newest LP “The Dancer” was released in May ’82 on the Trion Jazz Label.; Rachel’s musical background began at the age of nine when she first studied cello. During her high school days she sang on the coffee-house circuit in the Philadelphia area with now-artist Perry Barton and did some back-up singing for in New York. Her voice studies at Boston University School of Fine and Applied Arts led to her singing in the Boston area with instructors from the Berkeley School of Music as her backup musicians.; Since coming to Germany she visited Darmstadt’s Jazz Wekstatt and Joe Viera’s jazz clinics at Burghausen. Her assignments have taken her to Switzerland, France, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Poland and throughout Germany, working with musicians such as trumpeters Charlie Green, Ack van Rooyan and Johannes Faber, saxists Wilson de Oliveira and Ferdinand Poval, trombonist Lou Blackburn, pianists Paul Grabowsky, and Jorg Reiter, guitarists Juraj Galan and Werner Goos, bassists Gerd Myer-Mendez, Henk Haverhoek, Gary Todd and Thomas Stabinow and drummers Allen Blairman and Frans van Grinsven. Since August 1981 Rachel has been working steadily with Dennis Luxion on piano, Rudi Schroeder on bass and Clarence Becton on drums.; Rachel’s style and repertoire embrace a wide range of jazz singing, from swing to Latin to bebop to ballads to blues to rock-jazz, including many of her own compositions as well as jazz instrumental numbers with original texts.; Some quotes from the media about Rachel Gould: The tall, attractive, personable stylist adds a sensual warmth to a wide swinging range and seems eager to please both audiences and musicians alike. (Joe Weisel, Stars and Stripes jazz columnist); This is indisputably a jazz singer. The voice is rare, smooth, colored, swinging, caressing. A delight (F.J., Le Monde de la Musique)
