MÅNADENS DIKTARE (MAJ) UPPLÄSNING: Jesper Svenbro Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. När Jesper Svenbro debuterade 1966 med ”Det är idag det sker” var han en tjugotvåårig latinstudent i Lund som skildrade ett ljuvt grönskande landskap genom den antika idylldiktningens filter. Dikterna hälsades som en fläkt av ny romantik mitt i den experimentella poesins era. Sedan skulle det dröja till 1979 innan nästa diktsamling, ”Element till en kosmologi”, utkom. Jesper Svenbro hade vid det laget disputerat med en avhandling på franska om grekisk poetik och gjorde sig känd som en intellektuell, kontinental och inte sällan metapoetisk diktare.Diktsamlingen ”Samisk Apollon och andra dikter” (1993) kan ses som en vändpunkt i författarskapet. Här bryter ett mer personligt tilltal igenom och barndomen får en central plats. En resa till Lappland får en alldeles särskild betydelse, eftersom en planerad fjällsemester när den blivande poeten var åtta år gammal ställdes in efter att fadern omkommit i en kanotolycka. Skånskt möter samiskt möter antikt, eller som han skriver om Afrodites trollkonst: ”söder korsas med norr, väster korsas med öster, / högt korsas med lågt, nära med fjärran”. I senare böcker som ”Blått” (1994), ”Pastorn min far” (2001) och ”Himlen och andra upptäckter” (2005) fortsätter Svenbro utmejsla det som blivit kännetecknande för hans poesi: dubbelexponeringarna i tid och rum, de klassiska myterna som får liv i ett samtida landskap, bejakandet av ljuset och lyckan, samt epifanin, det uppenbarande ögonblicket, ofta markerat med ett utropstecken.Nya diktsamlingen ”Året hos Hyperboréerna” består av ”lyriska tankedikter”, som till stor del tillkommit under pandemins instängdhet, eller ”från husarresten” som poeten själv kallat det. Här utvidgas Svenbros panteon ytterligare, i dikter om Pasolini, Fats Navarro, Brodskij, Booker Little och Louise Glück. I en dikt tillägnad Hölderlin skriver han om dennes favoriserade versform, som även Svenbro själv är en flitig användare av, den alkaiska strofen: ”detta är tankedikt / som uppstått i Alkaios' livstid / utan att sedan ha mist sin sälta.”DIKT: ”Balettlektion – Dikt under pandemin” av Jesper SvenbroDIKTSAMLING: Året hos Hyperboréerna (Albert Bonniers förlag, 2024)MUSIK: Frédéric Chopin: Vals nr 19 Ess-durEXEKUTÖR: Alice Sara Ott, piano

Alto saxophonist Frank Strozier remains one of the great underrated masters of his horn. He was born in Memphis and came up with his friends, George Coleman, Harold Mabern, and the great Booker Little. After Memphis he moved to Chicago and attained several university degrees and began building his reputation as a prime voice on the alto. He later moved to New York and played with many important people like Miles Davis and drummer Roy Haynes. Later moving to Los Angeles he worked in the studios and performed Jazz with Oliver Nelson's Band and Shelly Manne's groups among others. He returned to New York in 1973 and continued to record under his name and appear as a sideman until the mid-80's when he stopped playing the saxophone and flute and did some gigs playing piano, . He also taught ischool until he retired. Strozier is still alive. He was born in Memphis on June 13,1937 and as of now he's be 86. We'll hear him in 4 extended pieces recorded in January 1976 in concert at the Ramada Inn inn Schenectedy, New York than have never been heard on any commercial recordings.

Drum great Max Roach is tonight`s Jazz Feature Artist. Mr.Roach was always aware of civil rights and was politically aware of the changes in American society but around about 1960 he decided to combine his music with the politics of civil rights and made a statement that he would never play any music that didn`t have social significance. Tonight`s Jazz Feature is his fine album, his first of two for the newly formed Impulse Records. Roach wrote and arranged all six pieces all dedicated to aspects and people involved in the fight for rights and freedom. Along with Roach on drums, Art Davis is on bass, Mal Waldron is on piano and the horns include trumpeter Booker Little, trombonist Julian Priester, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, the great Eric Dolphy on flute, bass clarinet and alto saxophone. Abbey Lincoln is the vocalist on two tracks and two percussionists are added on some tunes, Carlos `Patato` Valdes on conga drum and Carlos `Totico` Eugenio on timbales and percussion. Tonight`s Jazz Feature is dedicated to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King and celebrates not only the US holiday but his Birthday Anniversary which was January 15th. Politics coupled with great music by Max Roach and his Ensemble.

En HDO 551 escuchamos diez temas, dos por cada una de las grabaciones del segundo lote de reediciones del catálogo histórico de Candid Records con discos liderados por Cecil Taylor, Pee Wee Russell - Coleman Hawkins, Clark Terry, Booker Ervin y Booker Little. HDO es un podcast de Pachi Tapiz.

Tyra speaks with Booker Little concerning Artificail Intelligance / Drones and the importance to educate marginaliized communities on the future roles of Ai and Drones.

One of the most overlooked masters of the alto saxophone is Frank Strozier. Frank is still alive in New York but reclusive. Mr. Strozier was one of the many talented musicians who was born in Memphis. He came up with pianist Harold Mabern, tenor saxophonists George Coleman, Charles Lloyd and trumpeter Booker Little. Frank like most of these players moved to Chicago and graduated from the Chicago Conservatory of Music then made his way to New York. Frank was praised by none other than John Coltrane as "having one of the most advanced harmonic senses of any young player on the scene today". Frank worked briefly with Miles Davis and then with drummer Roy Haynes and then moved to Los Angeles where he played with drummer Shelly Manne and big bands led by Oliver Nelson and Don Ellis and did movie and studio work. He moved back to NYC in 1971 and soon began recording for the Danish based Steeplechase label. Tonight's Jazz Feature is his second date done in November 1977. It spotlights Frank on alto saxophone and also flute along with the great but little known trumpeter Danny Moore on some tunes. Harold Mabern is on piano and he sparks this session. The rhythm is premier: Stafford James on bass and the great Louis Hayes on drums. The title track of course is the Marvin Gaye classic arranged by Harold Mabern and begins the date on a high level. Another Mabern selection follows and then three compositions by Frank Strozier conclude this important Jazz Feature. Check it out tonight!

"Greensleeves" John Coltrane: Africa/Brass (Impulse!, 1961) John Coltrane, Booker Little, Julius Watkins, Bob Northern, Donald Corrado, Robert Swisshelm, Bill Barber, Pat Patrick, McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman, Elvin Jones, Freddie Hubbard, Julian Priester, Charles Greenlee, Jim Buffington, Garvin Bushell. La orquestación fue obra de McCoy Tyner y Eric Dolphy. Tomajazz: © Pachi Tapiz, 2022 ¿Sabías que? Africa/Brass fue el octavo disco de estudio de John Coltrane y el sexto que se publicó en Impulse! Fue también el estreno en este sello del saxofonista. La instrumentación fue inusual, ya que entre los 21 músicos que llegaron a grabar en la sesión, había bombardinos y trompas, instrumentos poco usuales en el jazz. El disco no recibió una gran aceptación por parte de la crítica en el momento de su lanzamiento. La revista Down Beat le proporcionó dos estrellas. En 1995 el disco original se reeditó en formato de CD doble con el título The Complete Africa/Brass Sessions. "Greensleeves" es un tema inglés tradicional. Hay una leyenda que indica que fue compuesta por el rey Enrique VIII para Ana Bolena. La canción se registró por primera vez en 1580.  En anteriores episodios de JazzX5/HDO/LODLMA/Maltidos Jazztardos… https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=59898 Más información acerca de John Coltrane en Tomajazz https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?s=jazzx5+john+coltrane&submit=Search Más información sobre John Coltrane https://www.johncoltrane.com/ https://www.gettyimages.es/fotos/john-coltrane Más información sobre JazzX5 JazzX5 es un minipodcast de HDO de la Factoría Tomajazz presentado, editado y producido por Pachi Tapiz.

Brooklyn based trumpeter Satish Robertson is a musician who wears many hats. His horn soars in a variety of musical settings from jazz to gospel, neo-soul, hip-hop, funk, right down to the blues. His credits include live performances and/or recordings with heavy hitters across several genres such as James Carter, Marc Cary, Spirit of Life Ensemble, Deborah Davis, Ace Clark, Chazmere, Talib Kweli, The NYC Ska Orchestra, Bobby Kyle & the Administers, and Archie Bell of the Drells. He is also the leader of numerous exciting jazz groups of his own. Growing up in Jersey City, NJ, Satish developed a deep love of music early on thanks to his grandmother's extensive record collection. He began his musical studies on piano as a child, but after falling under the spell of Miles Davis, he gravitated towards trumpet at the age of 20. Trumpeters Clifford Brown, Donald Byrd, Lee Morgan, Booker Little, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, and Roy Hargrove would also become strong influences. Partly self taught, but also mentored by master trumpeters such as Rob Henke, Vinnie Cutro, Jeremy Pelt, Eddie Henderson, Duane Eubanks, and the late Ted Curson, Satish has developed a commanding, penetrating, and soulful voice on his horn. Satish is also a prolific composer whose writing often exhibits a striking cinematic quality. And with his new release 80's JOINT: THE EP, Satish shows yet another side of his vast artistry, fusing jazz with the synth heavy sounds of 1980's pop, rock, funk, R&B, and techno - composing, arranging, producing, and playing nearly all of the instruments on the record himself.

La Freedom Now Suite di Max Roach, con il cruciale ruolo di Abbey Lincoln, viene pubblicata dall'etichetta Candid, esperienza effimera ma che nel giro di pochi mesi, sotto la direzione artistica di un autorevole critico come Nat Hentoff, mette insieme un catalogo di assoluto rilievo. Dopo la Freedom Now Suite, Abbey Lincoln è presente in un brano dell'album intestato ai "Newport Rebels", che la Candid realizza nell'autunno del '60 sull'onda del controfestival organizzato da Charles MIngus e da Roach in polemica con la commercializzazione del festival di Newport. Poi nel febbraio del '61 la Lincoln incide per la Candid un nuovo album personale, Straight Ahead. Citato nelle note di copertina, Booker Little, uno dei grandi musicisti impegnati dell'album, commenta che Abbey Lincoln "non ha più paura": "Non ha paura delle dissonanze e di liberarsi musicalmente. Sta Imparando a fare quello che Billie Holiday ha fatto tanto bene, improvvisare sui sentimenti della canzone e non solo sulle note".

High above the seas lies The Geeta land. One that thrives on epiphanies, and work ethic and woodshedding like Sonship Woody Theus. It is a land found by some but only then do you become an innovator a continual seeker continual expansion of sound and mind, polyrhythms and with Ron mcclure's acoustic bass lockin the groove of my guests quartet. My guest is part of Geeta Land which started in Memphis right in the middle of racial strife which he never understood because he came from the same school of leadership as Harold Maburn, Frank Strozier and Booker Little. In essence my guests is one of the forefathers of blending all musics. He has constantly worked on a balance between survival and spiritualism performing music from another world, a moon man with big imprints on younger cats like Blackbyrd McKnight and Sunship Woody Theus who strive to survive playing street music in a general downturn within urban metropolis' which fostered Flowers @ Monterey. My guest headlined shows @ The Fillmore or Avalon Ballroom sharing bills with psychedelic honky tonk bar bands and Malo which featured Hadley Caliman. The natural inclination of the mind is to move towards a place of greater happiness. In this hosts mind enlightenment comes from how you react to adversity.

This week's episode is about the music of Dr. Art Davis, a phenomenal bassist who straddled the line between jazz and classical music, whose frequent, innovative use of the bow on the instrument puts him in a class all his own.  It focuses mostly on his early career, including music he recorded with John Coltrane's group and with Booker Little and Max Roach's group Questions?

This was an incredible chance to sit down with a living legend of music: Reggie Workman. In 1961, Workman joined the John Coltrane Quartet, replacing Steve Davis. He was present for the saxophonist's Live at the Village Vanguard sessions, and also recorded with a second bassist (Art Davis) on the 1961 albums, Olé Coltrane and Africa/Brass. Workman recorded frequently through the 1960s and performed with such icons as Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Thelonious Monk, Max Roach, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Eric Dolphy, Gigi Gryce, Booker Little, Roy Haynes, Wayne Shorter, Red Garland, James Moody, Abbey Lincoln, Alice Coltrane, Booker Ervin, Horace Silver, Benny Golson, Cedar Walton, Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, Curtis Fuller, Yusef Lateef, Pharoah Sanders, Herbie Mann, Archie Shepp, Clifford Jordan, Bobby Hutcherson, Sonny Fortune, Billy Harper, and David Murray.   We got this lucky chance to speak with him because the Brooklyn Raga Massive will be performing A Love Supreme with Reggie Workman on June 9th as part of their Wall to Wall: John Coltrane Event.  

As we honour Black History Month, we present another of drummer Max Roach's albums that reflect not only his concern with innovative music but his political stance on justice, equality and civil rights. Roach radically changed his approach to music in the volatile climate of the USA in the early 1960's. Has it really changed much? Mr. Roach and his Ensemble and 6 of his compositions grace this album, his first for Impulse Records. It was called "Percussion Bitter Sweet". Roach's Ensemble consists of trumpeter Booker Little, trombonist Julian Priester, the amazing Eric Dolphy on flute/bass clarinet and alto saxophone, Clifford Jordan on tenor saxophone, Mal Waldron on piano, Art Davis on bass, Carlos "Patato" Valdes on conga drums and Carlos "Totico" Eugenio on percussion and timbales. Vocalist Abbey Lincoln appears on the first two compositions...wordless on the first called "Garvey's Ghost" and with words by Mr. Roach on "Mendacity". Check out Max roach and his music tonight as our tribute to Black History Month.

New York trumpeter Dave Douglas speaks of getting hooked on Cecil Taylor and Booker Little while still a pre-teen, touring with Horace Silver and why he dedicated the Greenleaf label’s inaugural release to his own father. Part 1 of 2, continues on Friday…

This weeks episode of the Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting Jazz Podcast is about an incredible trumpeter, Booker Little.  Though he only lived to be 23 years old, he left behind a body of work that it is among the finest examples of the instrument's use, recording with Max Roach, Eric Dolphy, and many more

Bassist Richard Davis has always been one of the leading exponents of that noble instrument. Davis has had long experience in many styles of music from symphony work with the New York Philharmonic to recordings and gigs with some of Jazz music's most adventuresome spirits like Eric Dolphy, Booker Little, Andrew Hill, Booker Ervin, Miles Davis and many others. He was a charter member of the famous Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. Davis for all his ubiquity made few recordings under his own name and this is one of them. It concludes our exploration of rare recordings by well known or lesser known artists. Tonight's Jazz Feature was recorded live at a club in New York called Jazz City in September of 1972. The band includes one of the day's leading tenor saxophonists, Clifford Jordan and powerhouse trumpeter Marvin "Hannibal" Peterson, cutting edge pianist Joe Bonner and drummer Freddie Waits and of course Richard Davis. The music is very edgy and adventurous and the band explored only two tunes but both are lengthy. Thelonious Monk's "Epistrophy" goes where even Mr. Monk wouldn't venture and Charlie Parker's blues "Now's The Time" gets a long workout into every nook and cranny of style. The music goes from straight-ahead to the outer reaches and back again. The adventurous spirit of Richard Davis is in tonight's spotlight and thanks to Muse Records we can experience "Now's The Time".

This episode of WNPM is an exploration of jazz ballads and features the music of Booker Little, Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, Jaki Byard, and many more.  

Nel luglio del '61 un quintetto guidato da Eric Dolphy e Booker Little, con Waldron al pianoforte, si esibisce per due settimane al Five Spot: il materiale registrato nella serata del 16 luglio viene documentato dai due album At the Five Spot, intestati a Dolphy, e da altri album. Tra i motivi di fascino dei lunghi brani, la dialettica fra le audaci improvvisazioni di Dolphy e Little e la coerenza complessiva dei brani, che devono molto alla presenza stabilizzatrice di Waldron.

Dal 20 al 26 aprile del '59 Waldron accompagna Billie Holiday in alcune serate allo Storyville di Boston: alcuni brani registrati nel corso di queste esibizioni saranno l'estrema testimonianza dell'arte della grande cantante, che verrà a mancare meno di tre mesi più tardi. Dopo la morte di Billie Holiday, Waldron continua a lavorare con i musicisti di cui si circonda al Five Spot, fra cui il clarinettista e sassofonista Eric Dolphy e il trombettista Booker Little: che come Waldron nel febbraio del '61 partecipano all'incisione di Straight Ahead di Abbey Lincoln. Nel giugno del '61 Dolphy partecipa poi alla registrazione di The Quest, l'album più impegnativo e significativo realizzato fino a quel momento da Waldron.

This was a gathering of a group of then young men, mostly in their 20s in January 1959 in New York for this informal get-together. All of these men were now living in New York and had established themselves on the national Jazz scene. Several were part of some great working bands and some were freelancing. They all came together on this recording. All of these men were born and had their first early musical experiences in their hometown of Memphis Tennessee. On trumpets: Louis Smith and Booker Little. On saxophones: George Coleman on tenor saxophone and Frank Strozier on alto. The great Phineas Newborn on piano, Newborn's brother Calvin on guitar. On bass George Joyner who became Jamil Nasser when he adopted Islam. On drums, the reliable and tasteful Charles Crosby. Only four tunes make up this date and all of the musicians are featured to a greater or lesser extent in long solos. Phineas Newborn carries "After Hours". Frank Strozier is featured on "Star Eyes". Everyone gets a chance on "Things Ain't What They Used To Be" and "Blue 'n' Boogie" These four tunes were all jam session favourites and everyone scores a hit on each one. Sit back and enjoy, "The Young Men from Memphis".

Drummer/composer and Modern Jazz pioneer Max Roach did two wonderful albums for the Impulse label and as second tribute to Black History Month we present the first of these two recordings called "Percussion: Bitter Sweet". As is common knowledge, Max Roach's music became more political in about 1959 when he stated that he would never play or record anything that didn't have political or social significance as regards the African-American and civil rights. Max Roach's Ensemble consists of his then wife Abbey Lincoln on vocal on the first two tunes. The instrumentalists are trumpeter Booker Little, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, trombonist Julian Priester, and Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone, flute and bass clarinet, Mal Waldron on piano, Art Davis on bass and where heard percussionist Carlos "Patato" Valdes (conga drum) and Carlos "Totico" Eugenio (percussion and timbales). There are six compositions on the record and the music is militant, powerful and inspired. Percussion: Bitter Sweet is a classic.

Pianist Harold Mabern is one of the true treasures of improvisational music. Born in Memphis, Tennessee and self taught as a pianist, he and his peers (George Coleman, Frank Strozier, Booker Little) developed rapidly. As he discusses in our chat, Mr. Mabern’s move to the city of Chicago after high school graduation further enhanced his […]

By 1960 drummer Max Roach had been for years a keen student of politics and civil rights and as a black American he realized that his mission was to combine politics and his music. He would do this without compromising the quality of his music in any way. Roach was one of the music's greatest drummers and a pioneer of Modern Jazz.The Freedom Now Suite was his first fully political statement and it features his ensemble and his vocalist Abbey Lincoln. Roach wrote the music and Oscar Brown Jr. wrote the words. The band includes Mr.Roach on drums with Booker Little on trumpet, Julian Priester on trombone, Walter Benton on tenor saxophone and James Schenck on bass.The first three compositions deal with the USA and opens with "Driva' Man" and the guest soloist on this track is the great Coleman Hawkins. "Freedom Day" is by the band. Track three is Mr. Roach and Miss Lincoln only in a three part suite. Part 2 moves to Africa and Michael Olatunji is added on drums and vocal plus two other percussionists in "All Africa" and the final selection is in memory of the notorious Shapeville Massacre and called "Tears For Johannesburg". All of this was recorded in August and Seoptember 1960. It remains a pivotal recording in the long career of Mr. Max Roach and to this day is a powerful statement.

Gordon talks about legendary trumpet player Woody Shaw. Often referred to as “the last innovator,” Shaw is best remembered for revolutionizing the technical and harmonic vocabulary of the jazz trumpet. The first segment begins by looking at some of Woody’s influences including Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard and Booker Little. Also highlighted are some Shaw’s first recordings in his late teens and early twenties with legends like Eric Dolphy and Art Blakey.

The Jazz Show's tribute to Black History Month is the famous Max Roach recording called "The Freedom Now Suite". This was one of the first politically charged albums that reflect the leader's growing awareness of the civil rights movement that was erupting in the U.S. in the late 1950's. Mr. Roach's basic ensemble includes trumpeter, Booker Little, tenor saxophonist Walter Benton, trombonist Julian Priester and bassist James Schenk. Abbey Lincoln is extraordinary on her vocals and Coleman Hawkins, the "father of the tenor saxophone" makes a cameo appearance on "Driva' Man", the opening tune. The final two pieces are by the full ensemble augmented by two percussionists and the great Micheal Olatunji on vocal and African drums. The centerpiece of the album if a duet in three parts called "Prayer, Protest and Peace" with Miss Lincoln and Max Roach. The album was recorded in 1960 and to this day stands as a monument to the creativity and political stance of one of the greatest drummers in Jazz, the late Max Roach. I should add that the lyrics of this were written by Oscar Brown Jr. and all the music was written by Mr. Roach. "We Insist! Freedom Now Suite".

We’re featuring a guest interview by bassist Tim Wolfe, Jr. interviewing his former teacher Jim Miller about Art Davis. Tim and Jim discuss Art Davis’ life, career, and pedagogical approach. They discuss Art’s book and his four-finger approach to the double bass, among other subjects. We’re also featuring excerpts from “Duo,” a track from the Art Davis Quartet album Life and featuring Art Davis, John Hicks, Idris Muhammad & Pharoah Sanders. This album (along with other music from Art’s considerable career) is available through iTunes. Tim also created a timeline (PDF) detailing milestones in Art’s career: Art Davis Timeline About Art Davis: In a musical career that has spanned four decades, Dr. Art Davis has played his bass with a myriad of the greatest jazz, classical, and popular artists in the world. He has shared his talents with not only the best jazz musicians (John Coltrane,Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie, Lena Horne, Thelonius Monk, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Quincy Jones, etc.), but with notable figures from popular music such as Judy Garland, Bob Dylan, Minne Pearl, Barbara Streisand, Hank Williams. Davis’ career has also seen performances with major orchestras such as the National Symphony, NBC Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Radio City Music Hall Symphony, Westchester Symphony, Orange County Symphony and others. Davis studied the tuba as well as the piano as a boy in his hometown of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania before switching to the bass in high school. He won numerous awards on both tuba and double-bass while attending high school. Upon graduation, he moved to New York to study via scholarship at both theManhattan School of Music as well as the Juilliard School of Music. While attending the latter he studied with world renown cellist Lazlo Varga andAnselme Fortier, who was principal bassist with the New York Philharmonic at that time. He earned a B.A. degree, triple major in psychology, music, physics, summa sum laude from Hunter College, City University of New York. Art Davis’ recording debut came in 1958 at the Newport Jazz Festival, with Max Roach’s group that included the legendary Booker Little and George Coleman. Davis maintained a strong personal relationship with Max, and Booker Little became one of his best friends. John Coltrane came into Art Davis’ life while Davis was working with Max Roach’s group at Small’s Paradise in Harlem. Coltrane at that time was in Miles Davis’ band and between sets asked Art if he would like to “practice” with him. Art agreed and Coltrane replied “How about tomorrow morning?” At 8:00 the following morning John Coltrane was in the lobby of Art’s hotel and called him on the house phone. After that first meeting, the two practiced regularly for about a year, the sessions lasting for many hours without a break. It was during this year that John Coltrane wrote the tune “Giant Steps”. Davis credits the association with John Coltrane as the most intense and enriching musical experience of his career. Until Coltrane’s death in 1967, Art remained close musically and personally with him and was a member of the bands on several Coltrane albums including, “Ascension”, “Africa Brass I and II”, “Olé! Coltrane”, and others. Art’s discography as a member of Coltrane’s groups also includes the original recording of “A Love Supreme” (which remains unreleased) with Coltrane’s regular quartet and Archie Shepp. Art also toured intermittently with John Coltrane. Due to Davis’ studio and other commitments, he was unable to become a permanent member of Coltrane’s quartet, but John insisted on their continued relationship. Then, in 1959, Davis joined Dizzy Gillespie’s band and toured for two and a half years. Weary of the road he returned to New York and free-lanced. In 1961 Art became the second African-American member of the NBC Staff Orchestra, working regularly on the Merv Griffin, Jack Paar, and Johnny Carson shows (and others), as well as performing in the New York studios playing jingles, films, and freelancing with performers. When the Griffin show moved to Los Angeles in 1971 Davis went back to school to pursue his deep interest in psychology, earning a masters degree in Experimental Psychology from the City College of the City University of New York and a masters degree and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from New York University by 1982. He supported himself while in college by teaching and performing in Broadway shows. After receiving his doctorate, he devoted four years to psychology patients and teaching in medical centers and colleges. In 1986, Davis moved to southern California, where he currently teaches college courses and maintains a professional practice as well as playing concerts, clubs, and recordings.Throughout his busy career, Davis finds time to encourage young people to strive toward their highest professional ambitions. His fan club decided to reflect this concern and established a scholarship program for deserving students.  

Alyn Shipton is joined by Tom Perchard to select the highlights from trumpeter Booker Little's recorded catalogue. Before his death in 1961 aged 23, Little was seen as one of the brightest hopes of jazz in the 1950s, forging a new compositional and playing style that offered a way forward from bebop that was strikingly original.

From the early 60's on drummer/composer/Jazz pioneer, Max Roach made a vow to never play or record anything that did not have some form of political significance. Usually music and politics are a bad mix with music often taking a back seat but with Mr. Roach this was not the case. Max became a champion of civil rights and although others made strong statements about the plight of African-Americans, Max's voice was among the most articulate and musical. Roach was blacklisted from recording for many years in the 60's for his political stance. This album is a follow-up to his famous "Freedom Now Suite" and his first of two for the forward thinking Impulse label.His band includes the late trumpeter Booker Little, who was only two months away from his death at 23 from uremia. Julian Priester is on trombone, Clifford Jordan on tenor saxophone, and Eric Dolphy is heard on alto saxophone,flute and bass clarinet. Mal Waldron is on piano and Art Davis is on bass and on several tunes two percussionists are added in the persons of Carlos "Patato" Valdes on congas and Carlos "Totico" Eugenio on timbales and assorted percussion. Two vocals are by Abbey Lincoln. All the compositions and arrangements are by Max Roach and the recording was done over several days in August of 1961. This album is both a strong political and musical statement by one of the true giants of Jazz and creative music, Max Roach.

Drummer/composer Max Roach in conjunction with lyricist Oscar Brown Jr. created this suite in honour of the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and it reflected Mr. Roach's growing involvement with the Civil Right Movement that was taking shape in America in the late 1950's. This powerful and still controversial recording features Roach's working band that includes Booker Little on trumpet, Julian Priester on trombone and the underrated Walter Benton on tenor saxophone, James Schenk on bass and the great Abbey Lincoln on vocals. Coleman Hawkins('the father of the tenor saxophone') makes an intense cameo on the first tune called 'Driva' Man'.Later the band is augmented by two percussionists and African drummer Michael Olatunji on the pieces depicting Africa. This recording is a powerful musical and political statement and is perfectly suited to honouring Black History Month.
