Episode #154: John Dokes

With inspiration from his stylistic ancestors Nat King Cole and Joe Williams, John Dokes brings new life to the deep-souled world of baritone jazz vocals on his elegant new album, Our Day on his Swing Theory Entertainment imprint. In delivering a distinctive post-pandemic outing of classic songs embodied with hopeful passion, Dokes—also promises that his new endeavor is “an album that will make you move.” Our Day features songs associated with Cole (such as the smooth low-toned “Almost Like Being in Love,” the delightful Rodgers and Hart gem, “This Can't Be Love,” the Latin-vibed “L.O.V.E.” that elicits dancing), two vocalese numbers (Jon Hendricks' take on one-time Jazz Messenger composer Bobby Timmons' “Moanin',” Mark Murphy's swinging run through Freddie Hubbard's “Red Clay”), the full-energy pop vibe on Billy Ocean's hit “Suddenly,” the calming Michel Legrand tune “I Will Wait for You” made famous from the Frank Sinatra songbook. “I grew up dancing hip-hop, I made a transition to something that I could do for a longer time in my life,” says Dokes. “I switched to Lindy Hop also known as swing dancing. I came to singing later in my life, but I gravitated to the music I was most passionate about—the eras of the ‘40s, ‘50s, early ‘60s. I started picking songs that really moved me. Dokes' last two albums were quintet affairs. For Our Day, he convened a nonet that includes members of the New York-based George Gee Swing Orchestra where he launched his career as a vocalist. (He documented that with his debut album, John Dokes Sings, George Gee Swings.) Key to the album's success is the arranging of Gee's musical director trombonist David Gibson. “Dave is a great arranger,” Dokes says. “He provides layers for the nonet where everyone has a chance to shine on solos as he fills up the space with his lines.” Now, with his fourth album, Dokes has fully arrived. There's not a dull moment on Our Day. He opens with “Our Day Will Come.” “It's a love song,” Dokes says. but it's also an opening from the past. Now is our time. Now is our day. It's really a song about us as a band coming back together.” Originally, Dokes was in the midst of fashioning a trilogy of quintet recordings (2017's Forever Reasons and 2019's True Love on Ian Hendrickson-Smith's Rondette Jazz label). While the third album is still in the works, a couple of events intervened. “I got derailed,” says Dokes. “First, my drummer Lawrence Leathers died after True Love came out. I moved to Chicago with my wife and two children. Then there was the pandemic that changed how I was looking at the future. I had to restart my brain. I decided to work on some of my material that had never been recorded. I contacted George Gee and he was working on his nonet's Christmas album in May 2023, so we combined that with David arranging my album. It was a back-to-back operation of small big bands.” The nonet comprises saxophonists Anthony Nelson Jr. and Michael Hashim, multi-reeds player Patience Higgins, trumpeters Freddie Hendrix and Andy Gravish, Gibson on trombone. pianist Steve Einerson, bassist Malik McLaurine and drummer Chris Latona. A native of Little Rock, Arkansas who grew up living in Oakland, California, Dokes never dreamed of becoming a professional singer even though he was fascinated by black-and-white reruns of Nat Coles' short-lived 15-minute network television show that ran on NBC in 1956. “I watched them nonstop before I ever thought about singing,“ Dokes says. “But there was his elegance, his smoothness, his ease. That resonated with me. And it informed how I approach my singing today. I don't dive into a lot of vocal acrobatics - but like some of my favorite acrobatic and non-acrobatic singers I like to lean in and tell the story to connect with my audience.” His father was steeped in music while Dokes was growing up. He played Nat King Cole albums in the house, and he was in an r&b band in the Bay Area in the ‘70s that often opened for soul/r&b stars of the day like The Whispers and The Stylistics. He moved to New York and became a regular at swing dance shows including dates by the George Gee Swing Orchestra. One of his dance partners was the legendary Lindy Hopper, cabaret star, alto sax player Dawn Hampton, the cousin of jazz hero Lionel Hampton and sister of legendary trombonist and composer Slide Hampton. She told him that she really liked his voice when he was dancing. “If Dawn likes my voice, I'm going to surprise her one night and sing a couple of songs with George's band. George only knew me as a dancer. He saw my potential and asked me to join the band. That built my confidence and gave me the path to get better.”

Echo Sthlm - News in Russian on the war in Ukraine

Эхо Хельсинки — 15 мая 2024 Война — день 812 Пограничная служба сообщает о разоблачении масштабной контрабанды людей через Финляндию. Metsä Group продала свои дочерние компании в России. Члены Европарламента получают тысячи евро поверх зарплаты ежемесячно. Никто не проверяет, на что они тратятся, – заявила евродепутат Хейди Хаутала. Финские жилищные кооперативы оказались в трудном положении из-за долгов российских акционеров. Премьер Словакии Фицо тяжело ранен в результате стрельбы. По всей Украине ввели аварийные отключения электроэнергии. Темпы наступления РФ на Харьковщине за прошедшие сутки замедлились, – сообщается в отчёте американского Института изучения войны. Мы по запросу получили от Мигри документ, где есть вся базовая информация о положении дел с ЛГБТ в стране, и к нашему удивлению информация в нем устаревшая, в нем, например, не упоминается закон о запрете трансперехода в России. Мы боимся, что решения о предоставлении в Финляндии убежища ЛГБТ-людям из России основываются на устаревшей и недостаточной информации, – представитель организации SETA ry, член правления Джон Кей (John Kaye). Пятая часть лекции философа Анатолия Ахутина под названием Homo Europaeus, в которой он рассказывает о феномене человека европейской культуры. Night in Tunisia – композиция в исполнении Art Blakey и The Jazz Messengers (Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, Bobby Timmons and Jymie Merritt) завершает нашу программу.

Our Jazz Feature takes you back to tan important center of Jazz action in New York in the mid-50`s. The Cafe Bohemia located in Greenwich Village. The band is the first group that master trumpeter Kenny Dorham put together. he called it ``The Jazz Prophets``. Kenny Dorham is one of the finest and original of the early Modern Jazz trumpeters. He came to maturity in the early 1950`s and was a charter member of Art Blakey`s Jazz Messengers. In 1956 he formed The Jazz Prophets. Sadly it was short-lived but made several fine recordings including this one. Kenny Dorham put together J.R. Monterose on tenor saxophone and a very young 19 year old Bobby Timmons on piano, Sam Jones is on bass and the tasty and swinging Arthur Edgehill is on drums. They play a variety of original and standard materiel in this set and are joined on the last tune, Dizzy Gillespie`s ``A Night in Tunisia`` by guitarist Kenny Burrell. All live at The Cafe Bohemia on May 31,1956. Kenny Dorham, tonight`s Jazz Feature artist.

Bienvenidos amantes de la música, Bobby Timmons es un pianista asociado al Hard Bop pero cuyas raíces familiares lo conectan con el góspel, que hábilmente supo llevar al Jazz, además de un característico acento funky en su manera de tocar. A los 19 años se instaló en New York, donde su primera gran experiencia profesional fue en la banda de Kenny Dorham, The Jazz Prophets con quiénes grabó su primer registro. Estuvo un año tocando con el cantante y trompetista Chet Baker en Los Angeles, pero su éxito y reconocimiento vendrían de la mano de Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers donde varias de sus composiciones llegaron a ser estándares del repertorio de la banda y del Hard Bop. Hoy escucharemos una selección de su disco "This Here Is Bobby Timmons" de 1960 que marcó su debut como solista. Que lo disfruten! Los temas son: Todas composiciones de Bobby Timmons. 1.

It is tonight's Jazz Feature and the theme of the five Mondays in the month of October will be albums that were never issued at the time of their recording. This marvelous Blakey album was never issued by Blue Note Records because the band, 6 weeks after this session was recorded, went into Blrdland, New York's leading Jazz club then and it was decided to record there in front of a great audience. Two volumes of music was issued and this session was therefore moot and shelved and forgotten. Tonight we hear this first session. The band includes the young 20 herald of the trumpet Lee Morgan in top form, Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone making a return to the band. Bobby Timmons is on piano and Jymie Merritt is on bass along side the great firestoker Art Blakey. Mobley wrote 3 of the 6 tunes and Timmons wrote 2. One good standard is heard as well. This is an important discovery of a long lost session by one of the great bands in Jazz History. The album is called "Just Coolin'" and is tonight's Jazz Feature.

We are continuing this month of March with one-off and rare recordings and tonight's Jazz feature is just that. Not too much is known about the leader, tenor saxophonist Joe Alexander except he was originally from Birmingham, Alabama but spent most of his playing career in Cleveland, Ohio where he found steady work. His only other recorded appearance is on Tadd Dameron's album "Fontainebleau" from 1956.. This album called "Blue Jubilee" is Joe's only recording under his name. Joe recorded this in June of 1960 while he was on a short tour of duty with Ray Charles' band. Joe and equally obscure trumpet player John Hunt teamed up. John was a long time player with Ray Charles. Joe and John are backed by an all-star rhythm section made up of Bobby Timmons on piano, Sam Jones on bass and Albert "Tootie" Heath on drums. Blue Jubilee turns out to be a fine solid Jazz album that presents two rather obscure players in the best light. Sadly this album never was issued domestically on CD but can be found on the European Fresh Sounds label. Enjoy a rare treat on tonight's Jazz Feature.

This album was only issued this year but was actually recorded in March of 1959 by a great edition of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. It was forgotten and never issued because not long after this date Blakey got a 2 week gig at Birdland, then New York's leading Jazz club and it was decided to record there rendering this session moot. The session was forgotten. The live date at Birdland produced 2 fine albums called "Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers at The Jazz Corner of the World". However the music on this previously unissued and forgotten session was superb and only recorded a month earlier by the same band. Art Blakey of course is on drums with Lee Morgan on trumpet who was having an amazing day! Bobby Timmons is on piano and Jymie Merritt is on bass. Tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley had returned to the band (he was in the 1st edition of The Jazz Messengers from 1954 to 1956). Hank is in energetic form and is breaking in a new metal mouthpiece that he used for the rest of his career. The music on this studio date has an edge and most of the tunes were new ones added to the Messenger repertoire. Four of the six tunes were on the aforementioned live date and two are only heard here. One is by Bobby Timmons, a fast burner called "Quick Trick" and the other might have been written by Timmons or bassist Merritt called "Jimerick". The others are by Hank Mobley....."Hipsippy Blues", "M&M", and the title track "Just Coolin'". The remaining tune is a standard called "Close Your Eyes" The energy and swing on this record is amazing and I'm happy it was finally issued and I hope you are too!

This is the second album in our November series of recordings that were slagged and low rated when they first were reviewed. This one was especially undeserving of a 2 star (out of 5) review. It contains some of the best playing by all concerned in this fabulous quintet. The date comprises of four long tunes so there is plenty of blowing room by the soloists. There is a cohesion and a unity of purpose with this session too unlike some blowing dates. Young trumpet sensation Lee Morgan heads the date and at age 21, he displays a maturity well beyond his years. Jackie McLean, one of the most individual voices of the alto saxophone joins Lee for the first time on records and they blend beautifully. Bobby Timmons is on piano and he delivers. Both Morgan and Timmons were in the Jazz Messengers at this time...April 1960. Bassist Paul Chambers is a tower of strength and Lee's boss Art Blakey drives and inspires the band to great heights. Four interesting tunes fill the date but no ballads. No matter the whole date works and once you hear you'll realize that the initial rating of 2 stars was totally wrong. Lee-Way is the right way!

The Major Scale is testifying the word of the gospel this episode. First, we pay tribute to the dearly departed Della Reese. She began he career as a singer of immense force and beauty, commanding a range that spanned from Puccini, the deep roots of the blues, Tin Pan Ally, and Gospel. Ms. Reese could deliver it all with spine tingling and soul stirring results. Lynda Blensky, Reese's rep, said it best: "We lost a magnificent woman who was a trailblazer in many ways." The term legend gets used a bit much, but it applies tenfold to an artist like Al Kooper. His work with Bob Dylan, the Zombies, and Lynyrd Skynyrd alone is enough to put him in the history books. He also founded Blood, Sweat, and Tears, which made him a Jazz Rock innovator. Mr. Kooper joins us to talk about a couple of his favorite subjects – gospel music and jazz piano. He also takes over the turntables to plug in a great set from Bobby Timmons, Les McCann, Horace Silver, and Twinkie Clark of the Clark Sisters. SONG CREDITS FOR THIS EPISODE: THEME: Jazz Phantom by Chomsk' (from the album "Different Beats" on Magnetic Records). FIRST HALF: Lonelyville By Della Reese (from the film “Let's Rock” by Columbia Pictures). Don't You Know by Della Reese (from the album “The Classic Della Reese” on RCA/Victor).

ABOUT THE MAJOR SCALE: Your attention please to a new program that celebrates and takes a fresh and bold look at the great American art form- JAZZ!!! The Major Scale is the title, the motto and the mission are, Jazz- past, present, future, and everything in between. A lot of focus will be on new and fresh sounds, deep cuts, closer looks at underrated artists, taking a different look at some of the titans of the genre, and getting the two cents worth from a number of surprise guests and sources. The Major Scale can boast amongst it's guests- legends like Herbie Hancock, Tom Scott, and Ahmad Jamal. The up and coming and the underrated-Kamasi Washington, Mia Doi Todd, Michael Blake. Fresh perspectives and commentary from the likes of Rock legend Al Kooper, who weighed in on the gospel. From The New Yorker, Amanda Petrusich expounds on her article about the movement to rename the Williamsburg Bridge in honor of Sonny Rollins. We explore the Soul-Jazz experiments of the Rascals. Grace Kelly from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert talks about her pop-up/flash mob concerts. Plus Thundercat, Henry Mancini, Ghostface Killah, Jaimie Branch, Nels Cline, Badbadnotgood, Cecil Taylor, and more get pick up on the Major Scale radar. Produced in Central Florida, this program seeks to become one of the defining voices of this Native American art form, and everything else that finds itself under it's umbrella. Think about programming and content found on the likes of World Cafe, Philadelphia, PA. Tiny Desk from Washington D.C., and KEXP Live from Seattle, WA. and that's what the Major Scale strives to do. For the curious, and lovers of music who like the details in between.

This Jazz Feature is a continuation of our exploration of the traditional "Jazz Quintet". This Jazz Feature is a rarity as it became a hit not only for the artist but for Blue Note Records. The album is trumpeter Lee Morgan's "comeback" date called "The Sidewinder". Lee had fallen badly from late 1961 through 1963 due to drug addiction. He entered rehab and embarked on pulling his life together and began to rack up some important sideman appearances on several records in 1963 for Blue Note. He was resigned to the label and this Sidewinder session was his first in a while. Lee picked the band and wrote all the tunes. It's a solid date. When they had finished the four tunes Lee brought in there was time left and one more was needed to complete the date. Lee wrote the tune, "The Sidewinder" in 20 minutes in the washroom in the studio and the band ran it down and it was recorded last. It became a Jazz hit and made Lee good money and put Blue Note Records back in the black. It became one of the best known Jazz tunes of it's day and was used on several commercials. The other tunes are also great on this date but it's The Sidewinder that everyone remembers. Lee Morgan picked a great band and they operated and sounded like a working band...great chemistry. Lee Morgan on trumpet, Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, veteran Barry Harris on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass and the great Billy Higgins on drums. Tonight's Jazz Feature "The Sidewinder"....look out! As we were not on the air last week due to a holiday we offer another Jazz Feature tonight with Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Bobby Timmons on piano and Jymie Merritt on bass and of course Art Blakey on drums. This was Blakey's favorite edition of his Jazz Messengers. The second Jazz Feature is called "The Witch Doctor" and is from March 1961. It's a rare item as it wasn't issued until the mid 80's. Two Jazz Features in one tonight both with the great Lee Morgan. Lee was the real deal!

The great Sonny Stitt was a true master of the alto and tenor saxophone and yet was saddled by some critics as being "an imitator". On alto he bore some superficial similarities to Charlie Parker but that was as he said, "Bird and I listened to the same cats and were influenced by them". On the larger tenor his influences were less clear and he wasn't criticized as much but because of his flowing ideas and his formidable technique but he was often accused of being "glib". Somehow he couldn't win and yet every prominent saxophone player listed Stitt as one of their favorites. Stitt recorded a lot and mostly in quartet settings with piano, bass and drums or with organ, guitar and drums, Here is one of his finest dates done in May 1957 with a short-lived working band with a young Bobby Timmons on piano, Edgar Willis on bass and the dynamic yet tasteful Kenny Dennis on drums. Stitt is inspired by the band and has a great day here. The critics loved "Personal Appearance" and so will you! Sonny Stitt forever!

This edition of drum master Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers was said to be his favourite of all. The band included the young trumpet virtuoso Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist/composer Wayne Shorter who brought his original sounding tenor to the band AND his composing and arranging talent. Wayne soon became the "musical director" of the band. Pianist/composer Bobby Timmons was a great star in this band as well and wrote several of the group's hits. Bassist Jymie Merrit was referred to as "the workhorse of the band" with his sure time and big sound. Art Blakey as leader needs very little introduction as he was one of the most distinctive and influential drummers in Modern Jazz. This album is now considered a classic despite the fact that it got a poor rating and was slagged by the esteemed Jazz critics. This date was the first official recording of this superb edition of The Messengers. The premise of this month's Jazz Features are albums that initially got terrible ratings in the Jazz press and became classics. This date was no different. It features three new compositions by Wayne Shorter and one by Bobby Timmons and one by ex-messenger Bill Hardman and Shorter's arrangement of the standard "It's Only a Paper Moon". "The Big Beat" tonight is worth checking or re-checking. One of Blakey's best!

The title here explains it all. Julian "Cannonball" Adderley in 1959 left the Miles Davis Sextet after making music history with the band, especially the album "Kind of Blue" and others of course but Adderley and his cornet playing brother Nat were ready to re-form their quintet. The first one was not too successful financially and Nat joined Woody Herman's band and later trombonist J.J.Johnson and Cannonball went with Miles but by 1959 the time was ripe. The Adderley Brothers settled on a stable personnel in the persons of pianist /composer Bobby Timmons, late of Art Blakey's Jazz messengers, bassist Sam Jones, late of Thelonious Monk's group and young drummer, Louis Hayes, late of Horace Silver's quintet and during an engagement in San Francisco at the legendary Jazz Workshop in October of 1959 the group came together and made this recording. It became a best seller for Riverside Records and put Adderley on the map as a great bandleader. This was the beginning. The premise of this month's 4 Jazz Features are recordings that were dismissed as inconsequential by the "esteemed" Jazz critics. This album was given a poor rating and dismissed. It is now a classic and one of the best loved of Adderley's vast output.We will present one of these types of dates in all the Jazz features in November. So tonight enjoy the warm swinging and funky sounds of Cannonball Adderley and Company at The Jazz Workshop.......a classic!
