  • 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.

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

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.

  • En Guise D'avant-Propos
    En guise d’avant-propos WEST COAST JAZZ — « La West Coast, qu’est‑ce que c’est ? » (Lee Konitz). — « C’est une étiquette, rien de plus. » (Hampton Hawes). — « Ça a été un pur accident. » (Chet Baker). L’appellation « Jazz West Coast » a toujours posé un problème à ceux‑là mêmes qui étaient censés l’avoir créée. Une étiquette rejetée plus ou moins violemment que quelques‑uns ont fini par accepter de guerre lasse. « On a toujours besoin d’un label », reconnaissait Shelly Manne. Apposer une estam‑ pille n’est guère difficile, les problèmes surgissent à partir du moment où il s’agit de préciser ce qu’elle est supposée recouvrir. Dans ce cas précis, s’agit‑il d’une forme de jazz inventée par des Californiens ? Certainement pas : le gros des musiciens venait de l’Est. Alors d’une variante jouée uniquement sur les bords du Pacifique ? Faux, il en existe des équivalents à New York, Boston, Chicago, en Suède et ailleurs encore. Peut‑ ISBN 978-2-86364-665-6 être un style pratiqué exclusivement par des jazzmen de race blanche ? Certes, / ils étaient majoritaires — et l’on verra pourquoi —, mais que deviennent Chico Jazz Hamilton, Buddy Collette, Curtis Counce, Leroy Vinnegar, Hampton Hawes et quelques autres ? Existe‑t‑il seulement une spécificité dans la musique inter‑ Coast prétée en Californie au cours des années 1952‑1965 ? Plus on en approfondit West l’étude, plus le doute s’installe. — Cette difficulté à appréhender globalement le «Jazz West Coast » ne lui appartient pas en propre. De semblables ambiguïtés se retrouvent Tercinet à propos de tous les styles dûment catalogués.
