The Maroon's Jake Zucker and William Kimani interview saxophonist and Chicago native Chico Freeman, who performed live at the 2023 Hyde Park Jazz Festival as part of the Chico Freeman Quintet. They are joined by Michael Allemana (Ph.D. '20), a researcher of ethnomusicology and Director of the University's Jazz Ensemble. Chico's bio: "Heralded as one of the most important saxophonists of our time, composer and producer Chico Freeman has perfected an immediately recognizable approach to music and composition, blending what he has experienced from his past and providing fluidity into a future of infinite musical possibilities. "As part of the Freeman family legacy of Chicago (legendary NEA Jazz Master saxophonist Von Freeman is his father and guitarist George Freeman and drummer Bruz Freeman are his uncles), Chico amassed a diverse performance résumé including R&B, blues, hard bop, and avant-garde. His collegiate studies in Advanced Composition and Theory at Northwestern University propelled him to a position teaching composition at the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) Music School, as well as a Master's degree in Composition and Theory at Governor State University, where he studied composition with NEA Jazz Master Muhal Richard Abrams."

Con la entrega 443 de HDO lanzamos un especial dedicado al saxofonista, flautista, compositor e ideólogo musical Henry Threadgill, en los que repasaremos su carrera. Nacido en Chicago en 1944, Henry Threadgill es un músico perteneciente a la AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians), y al que siempre se le ha situado en la vanguardia del jazz. En 2018 sigue en activo y en plena forma, habiendo publicado sendas grabaciones en el sello Pi Recordings con sus formaciones Ensemble Doble Up y 14 or 15 Kestra: Agg. Comenzamos el amplio especial con un repaso a la música de los Loft en los años 70 en Nueva York:, que supuso una nueva manera de concebir la expresión del jazz, poniendo en cierta manera al día el concepto de las jam sessions, y buscando una nueva manera de que los músicos pudieran desarrollar sus carreras. En los dos primeros programas del especial escuchamos a algunos de los músicos de esa escena que aparecían en el triple CD Wildflowers: Loft Jazz New York 1976 (Douglas Records), grabado en en directo entre el 14 y el 23 de mayo de 1976 en el loft del saxofonista Sam Rivers, el famoso Rivbea Studio de Nueva York. Como preludio a la música de Threadgill, en HDO 443 suena la música de Randy Weston, Sam Rivers, Anthony Braxton, Wadada Leo Smith, Oliver Lake, Anthony Davis, Barry Altschul, George Lewis y Anthony Davis, entre otros, muchos de los cuales -tal y como se podrá escuchar en próximos programas- han sido compañeros de las andanzas musicales de Henry Threadgill.

This week we return from our July hiatus with some exciting audio from the northeastern edge of North America – St. Johns, NL, Canada. While we were gone, we embraced stormy skies, sea-going improvisational instruments, the smell of cod tongue dinners and severe jet lag to tell the tale, and tell the tale we do! This week we meet up with improviser and scholar Ellen Waterman to discuss the colloquium “Improvisation as Intercultural Contact and Dialogue,” listen to ships near and far making music together, and get into the nitty-gritty of what the heck we mean by improvisation anyway… Sound Symposium: http://www.soundsymposium.com/ International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation: http://improvisationinstitute.ca Field Recordings: Introduction North Atlantic thunderstorm on Fogo Island – Steven Roswell, Radio Aporee https://aporee.org/maps Opening: Harbor Symphony, recorded by Renee T.
