On October 26, 2025, the legendary jazz drummer Jack DeJohnette passed away at the age of 83. DeJohnette was one of the greatest drummers in modern jazz. He released more than 50 albums as a bandleader and appeared on hundreds of recordings as a sideman — including landmark sessions such as Miles Davis' “Bitches Brew”, Wayne Shorter's “Super Nova”, and Keith Jarrett's “Standards”, among many others. DeJohnette also recorded six classic albums with Naptown jazz icon Freddie Hubbard. This week on Echoes of Indiana Avenue, we'll share music highlighting Freddie Hubbard's collaborations with Jack DeJohnette. Born in Chicago in 1942, DeJohnette began his musical journey studying classical piano before switching to drums — a duality that shaped his melodic sensibility behind the kit. He rose to prominence in the 1960s through his work with jazz luminaries including Charles Lloyd, Chick Corea, Bill Evans, and Miles Davis. During his six-decade career, DeJohnette led numerous ensembles and recorded prolifically, creating a distinctive sound that fused jazz traditions with abstract and avant-garde influences. A National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master and Grammy Award winner, DeJohnette was a guiding force in the evolution of modern jazz.

Bienvenidos amantes de la música. Jack DeJohnette, no es un baterista típico. Comenzó su formación musical como pianista durante 10 años. Durante la secundaria comenzó a tocar batería y en sus primeros años en la escena de Chicago recibía contratos a veces para tocar de pianista y otras de baterista. El reconocimiento internacional llegó cuando se sumó al Cuarteto de Charles Lloyd junto a uno de sus compañeros de viaje, el pianista Keith Jarret. El saxofonista Eddie Harris fue el responsable de convencer a DeJohnette que se dedicara completamente a la Batería porque vió su talento natural. Miles Davis lo reclutó para grabar en Bitches Brew y dijo que le encantaba el groove tan profundo que lograba poner como base para el exigente trompetista. Una de sus influencias en el instrumento fue Roy Haynes, con quien grabó su primer disco como líder. Hasta ahora tiene una marca en el sello ECM, Ha aparecido en más álbumes del sello que cualquier otro músico. Desde hace 30 años que califica su trabajo como Música Multidireccional. "Cuando era niño escuché todo tipo de música y nunca las puse en categorías" declaró. Les invitamos a escuchar una pequeña selección de su amplio catálogo. Los temas son: 1. Epilog 2. How's Never 3.

How many drummers can you name who changed the whole conversation, just with their playing? Like, to the point that they became the North Star for the next generation or two? How many of those were also great bandleaders, and maybe even solid composers? It's a short list by anybody's count but one name you are probably already thinking of is Jack DeJohnette. Drummer Pheeroan Aklaff joins Mitch Goldman in putting DeJohnette in Deep Focus. Mitch, of course, has some dazzling live music from the archives that you've probably never heard. DeJohnette's band Special Edition is ripe for rediscovery. #WKCR #DeepFocus #MitchGoldman #PheeroanakLaff #JackDeJohnette #JazzRadio #JazzInterview #JazzPodcast Photo credit: Roberto Masotti

Playlists from all previous Sets of Jazz Gumbo are at: jazzgumbo.blogspot.ca Here's a Replay of an old Set that I've enjoyed myself recently, along with the original notes: The “Masterworks” of Set 18 begin with Return to Forever’s “500 Miles High”. Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Joe Farrell, Flora Purim and the Great percussionist Airto Moreira (whom I forgot to credit during the broadcast) deliver a piece that, 30+ years after first hearing it, continues to pull me completely into it’s richly textured soundscape. They flesh it out with solos that are technically brilliant and emotively lush. Also in this category of tunes, that create their own unique sonic pocket and then fill it up, are Horace Silver’s “Song for My Father” and DeJohnette’s “John McKee”, which features Pat Metheny and Herbie Hancock. I‘ll slide in Freddie Hubbard’s “Red Clay” right behind these other three; can’t deny what a compelling piece it is. I love presenting lesser known works by artists with a long list of hits – works that would be much better known if not for those hits. In this set, I point to Stevie Wonder’s “Flower Power”, to Santana’s “Guajira” and to Masekela’s “In the Market Place”, all favorites of mine. Artists I’m presenting on Jazz Gumbo for the first time include dj Cheb i Sabbah, who does a wonderful amalgam of traditional Indian music with Club music and Electronica. There’s also the Jazz Passengers, who combine the zany and the funky with straight ahead, driving numbers, reminiscent of Frank Zappa or George Duke. Then There’s Angie Stone, whose duet with Calvin Richardson is a sweet, soul throwback. And finally, Buddy Miles delivers a big, brassy and rollicking tribute to 60’s soul singer “Joe Tex”, to close things out. Thrive! Kirby Obsidian
Con la morte in un tragico incidente del contrabbassista Scott LaFaro, nel '61 si chiude la magica esperienza del trio di Bill Evans con LaFaro e con Paul Motian alla batteria: per il pianista è un colpo durissimo, artisticamente e umanamente. Una nuova felice stagione del trio di Bill Evans si apre nel '66, quando Evans scopre un giovane bassista portoricano, Eddie Gomez, che sarebbe rimasto per undici anni accanto al pianista. Per un certo periodo il trio fu completato alla batteria da un altro giovane portento, Jack DeJohnette (è DeJohnette che figura nel live a Montreux del '68): la maggiore estroversione di Gomez e DeJohnette rispetto ad altri che li avevano preceduti al basso e alla batteria conferisce una maggiore estroversione all'insieme della musica del trio di Evans, apprezzata dal pubblico e dalla critica. Poi nell'autunno del '68 DeJohnette lascia per nuove avventure - sarà con Miles Davis nella svolta elettrica del trombettista - e viene rimpiazzato da Marty Morell, e anche con lui rimane questa maggiore estroversione, lo slancio, la freschezza giovanile che sentiamo anche a Pescara nel '69...Come bonus della puntata un brano della Big Band di Gil Cuppini registrato all'Universal Club di Marina di Carrara nell'estate del '68. Con il batterista la crème del jazz italiano dell'epoca: fra gli altri Soana, Valdambrini, Piana, Masetti, Basso, Volonté, Azzolini....

Poi nell'autunno del '68 DeJohnette lascia per nuove avventure - sarà con Miles Davis nella svolta elettrica del trombettista - e viene rimpiazzato da Marty Morell, e anche con lui rimane questa maggiore estroversione, lo slancio, la freschezza giovanile che sentiamo anche a Pescara nel '69...Come bonus della puntata un brano della Big Band di Gil Cuppini registrato all'Universal Club di Marina di Carrara nell'estate del '68. Con il batterista la crème del jazz italiano dell'epoca: fra gli altri Soana, Valdambrini, Piana, Masetti, Basso, Volonté, Azzolini....
An introduction to Farah DeJohnette Whole Horsemanship and how to Liberate your Horsemanship
In this episode I speak with Farah DeJohnette. Farah runs a horse property in North Brookfield Massachusetts where she teaches people about Holistic or Whole Horsemanship, where it takes a village to keep your horse happy and healthy and everyone is as important as the next including nutrition, dental, body work and training methods.Farah is doing an amazing job educating people on all aspects of keeping your horse happy and healthy, but the most important thing we must all begin with, is listening to your horse.I recorded this at 5am my time so if you are wearing headphones you may hear the Kookaburras waking up and the butcher birds making their morning song, you may even hear my dog snoring in there somewhere.This is a long one, so I won’t take up too much of your time on the intro, I’ll let you settle in and enjoy the ride.To connect with Farah please use the following links.Website-https://fdhorsemanship.comFacebook-Farah DeJohnette HorsemanshipInstagram-#fdhorsemanshipYoutube-fdh channel

Playlists for all past Sets of Jazz Gumbo will be found at jazzgumbo.blogspot.ca During the live Set, I neglected to mention that the DeJohnette piece features Herbie Hancock as well as Pat Metheny. (Sometimes it seems that Hancock is featured on half the numbers I play, he’s been a guest artist to so many of his colleagues over the decades) Essentially, this is a trio album, and DeJohnette and Metheny co-produced. I can’t help but wonder sometimes, why an album is attributed to one artist instead of another. In this case, DeJohnette and Metheny each wrote three tunes, and they co-wrote the seventh. And in my opinion, the best of them, including “Dancing”, are Metheny’s. Another curious example is “Desafinado”, a huge hit that’s been covered by dozens of artists. It, and almost all the other music on the album, including the even more massive hit, “The Girl from Ipanema”, were composed by Jobim. But the listing above is no mistake. The album is titled “Getz / Gilberto”, while Jobim is ‘featured’. Even more egregiously, Astrud Gilberto, the female voice to her husband’s on “Ipanema”, isn’t properly credited at all, only mentioned in passing in the liner notes. In fairness, she only sang on the one tune, and this was in fact her first ever recording, and it launched a career. A third variety of missing attribution was completely the norm in the 60’s and 70’s. Pop, Rock and Soul groups often failed to list the names of the group’s members. So the name Jessica Cleaves is nowhere to be found in the credits or listings of The Friends of Distinction album (nor those of her male colleagues, Harry Elston and Floyd Butler) though you will find the names of producers, arrangers, technicians, album artists and the guy who wrote the liner notes. Kind of odd, isn’t it? Enjoy the beautiful music, friends! Thrive! Kirby Obsidian

This was the debut of a brand new band formed by drummer/pianist/composer Jack DeJohnette and it reflected his multi-direction approach to the music. This was the first band that DeJohnette led that garnered not only recognition from the fans but by the critics as well. Many of DeJohnette's earlier attempts at bandleading seemed too scattered and had no unifying concepts. This band, although eclectic did have a sense of direction and purpose. It is multi-dimensional and reflects many concepts but is held together and cohesive. The band is called "Special Edition" and this recording is the first and perhaps the best. The two horns are tenor saxophonist/bass clarinetist, David Murray and on alto saxophone, one of the great individual voices was ("Black Arthur") Arthur Blythe. The versatile and flexible bassist is Peter Warren. DeJohnette's drums prod and shape the music and three of his unique compositions are heard. The other two tunes of the five on this disc are by John Coltrane and they are the beautiful "Central Park West" and the exotic "India". All in all, "Special Edition" was a great band and this album which was issued on ECM was one of it's most important statements.
Acclaimed drummer and composer Jack DeJohnette is a true master of rhythm. As one of the last distinct voices to emerge from the golden era of improvisational music, DeJohnette is perhaps at the peak of his powers in 2015. His career has spanned through the ensembles of Miles Davis, Charles Lloyd, Bill Evans, Jackie McLean, […]

Jack DeJohnette is one of the most extraordinary musicians to come along in the last 45 or so years. Jack was born in Chicago and came to New York in 1964 as an accomplished drummer and pianist. He was discovered by the great alto saxophone master Jackie Mclean and then went on to work with Charles Lloyd, Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Bill Evans, Freddie Hubbard and countless others. Jack and pianist Keith Jarrett worked with Charles Lloyd and their musical bond has remained to this day as the formidable trio of Jarrett, bassist Gary Peacock and DeJohnette is one of today's premier groups. DeJohnette first began recording under his own name in 1968 and his output has reflected a very eclectic taste. DeJohnette's recordings have explored anything musical but this band called "Special Edition" is amazing. This is their first recording and it is indeed a classic in the best sense of the word. The Special Edition band continued throughout the 80's and 90's with changing personnel but this first recording done in March of 1979 was one of their best. David Murray is heard on tenor saxophone and bass clarinet, Arthur Blythe on alto saxophone and Peter Warren on bass make up the band. DeJohnette is heard mostly on drums, of course, but we also hear him on piano and melodica. Three of the compositions are Jack's and two are Coltrane classics, "Central Park West" and "India". "Special Edition" was indeed very special.
This album by guitar virtuoso, Ralph Towner is once again in circulation by ECM Records. It's one of Towner's most impressive recordings as it features Ralph playing his own compositions with the amazing bassist Eddie Gomez and the always dynamic drums of Jack DeJohnette. Towner shines on classical and 12 string guitar and on one tune overdubs his fine piano playing as well. The music is haunting, hypnotic and spacy but dynamic as well and the compositions are memorable. Gomez and DeJohnette give the music an energy and pulse. "Batik" is a profound musical experience. Towner is still alive and well and currently living in Rome. This album is one of his musical highlights.
