Podcasts about Dizzy Gillespie

Welcome to our new series, “The Beat Goes On,” where we will celebrate the work and enduring influence of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, and the other writers whom we identify as “The Beats.” - that crop of artists who worked to expand our consciousness, exploring the hidden possibilities of post WW2 America in the 1950s - Other significant names to be explored: Diane Di Prima, Tuli Kupferberg, Ed Sanders, Delmore Schwarz, Anne Waldman, Carolyn Cassidy, and many others.We will also include jazz musicians like Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Dizzy Gillespie, whose sinuous Bebop lines influenced the expansive prose of Kerouac and poetry of Ginsberg, and comedians like Lenny Bruce, Lord Buckley, Brother Theodore and Dick Gregory with their scathing critique and unmasking of our nation's hypocrisy beneath the self-deceptive rhetoric of American exceptionalism.  And, then there are their artistic children like Hunter S. Thompson, Charles Bukowski, Tom Waits and Lou Reed…. The list goes on.First off: we need to define that confusing term “beat”… Once the satirists were able to pin them down, the Beats and their devotees were labelled “Beatniks” (a cold war epithet) and put into a farcical box. This is where I, as a child, first became aware of them through the character of Maynard G. Krebs on the Dobie Gillis show. The child-like, pre-hippie with the dirty sweatshirt and goatee, indelibly played by Bob Denver, later of Gilligan fame. He was a gentle figure of fun, not to be taken seriously. But, the truth goes so much deeper. Kerouac defined Beat as short for “beatitude” - a state of grace, a codex for the maturing “peace and love” Baby Boom generation coming up - those in search of existence's deeper meaning beyond the consumerist and war-like American culture being offered as our only option.Well, boy, do we need them now! HENRY MILLER INTERVIEWOur inaugural offering is a 1964 interview with the writer Henry Miller, of TROPIC OF CANCER, TROPIC OF CAPRICORN, and THE ROSY CRUCIFIXION TRILOGY fame, among many others. This is an insightful, in depth look at a artist of gargantuan influence. Miller was interviewed by Audrey June Wood  in Minneapolis during a speaking tour; he considered this interview to be one of his best. Miller discourses on some of his favorite books and authors and the struggle of writing well. It was released on Smithsonian/ Folkways Records.Strictly speaking, Miller was not a Beat - he preceded them, and out lived many of them, making it to 88 in 1980, but he was their spiritual and artistic pathfinder.Living hand to mouth, on the edge, abroad in Paris, writing free form in a raw, explicit, semi-autobiographical manner, telling the truth about sex, love, art, and struggle - he set the artistic compass for the Beats - as Dostoevsky and Walt Whitman had done before him. They are all part of a chain - a chain of searchers, and we are fortunate to have these lights to guide us on our own personal journeys to self realization. Please enjoy…THE BEAT GOES ON.

Prestamos atención a uno de los músicos más interesantes de la historia del jazz, un bopper elegante como ninguno, uno de los mejores herederos de las enseñanzas y descubrimientos de Charlie Parker, el señor Phil Woods. Ante el inmenso legado discográfico del saxofonista, he querido dar un somero repaso a sus discos más relevantes o los que, a criterio mi criterio, son más significativos, comenzando por una de sus primeras grabaciones, Woodlore, de 1955, recuperando tambien alguna sesión previa de su juventud con el guitarrista Jimmy Rane. Despues pasamos por discos como 'Pairing off' (1956), 'Warm Woods' (1957), ‘Rights of swing' (1961), ‘Alive and well in Paris' (1968), 'Recorded live at Jimmy´s (con Michel Legrand)' (1975), 'The New Phil Woods Album' (1975), 'I Rewmember' (1978) y 'Dizzy Gillespie Meets Phil Woods Quintet' (1986) En cada una de las composiciones mostradas, Phil demuestra la gran pericia con su instrumento, el saxo alto, así como su buen gusto para el fraseo y genialidad como compositor. No menos importantes son los músicos con los que se ha ido cruzando a lo largo de su vida, y en este programa nos encontraremos con otros historicos del jazz como Teddy Kotick, Joe Morello, Tommy Flanagan, Philly Joe Jones, Gene Quill, Dizzy Gillespie, Curtis Fuller, Sahib Shihab, Henry Texier, Daniel Humair, Michel Legrand, Grady Tate, Hal Galper o Tom Harrell.

Una banda de tamaño mediano que destacó en Nueva York bajo el hechizo de Lunceford fueron los Savoy Sultans. Durante un par de años fueron la banda de moda del famoso salón de baile de Harlem. Los Sultans eran famosos por ser una seria amenaza para cualquier orquesta visitante que tuviera la mala suerte de verse enredada en una batalla de bandas. Todas las noches, los admiradores se paraban justo frente al escenario de los Sultans y se preguntaban: ¿de dónde sacan estos nueve hombres tanta música?. Con José Manuel Corrales.

Cet épisode de "La partition" nous plonge dans l'univers fascinant de Charlie Parker, l'un des plus grands saxophonistes de jazz de l'histoire. Surnommé "Bird", ce musicien visionnaire a révolutionné le jazz en développant le bebop, un style musical caractérisé par une improvisation audacieuse et une virtuosité époustouflante. À travers les récits passionnants d'Ombline Roche, nous découvrons les débuts de Charlie Parker, son apprentissage acharné dès son plus jeune âge, et son émancipation du jazz "swing" de la génération précédente. Nous comprenons comment Parker, avec son complice Dizzy Gillespie, a voulu repousser les limites du jazz traditionnel pour créer quelque chose de totalement novateur, où le soliste devient le centre de l'attention.L'animatrice nous fait également entrer dans l'univers tourmenté de cet artiste, qui a lutté contre ses démons personnels tout en repoussant les frontières de l'improvisation. On apprend ainsi que Parker, véritable "magicien" du saxophone, n'hésitait pas à jouer avec des instruments en mauvais état, préférant se concentrer sur la magie de l'instant présent plutôt que sur la perfection technique.Cet épisode est une véritable plongée dans l'âge d'or du bebop, une époque charnière où le jazz s'est réinventé. À travers le parcours singulier de Charlie Parker, on saisit toute la richesse, la complexité et la liberté de cette révolution musicale. Un must-écoute pour tout amateur de jazz et d'histoire de la musique !Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.

The 15th UN General Assembly of September 1960 may not seem like the most avant-garde topic for a cinematically adventurous documentary, but don't tell that to director Johan Grimonprez. His stunningly creative “Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat,” recently named to the Oscar Shortlist for Best Documentary Feature, is a cinematic high point of 2024 and also one of the year's most thoroughly engaging historical/political dramas.   Johan joins Ken on the pod to discuss the events surrounding the truncated political independence that was “granted” to the Congo (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in June 1960 by the Belgian government. Soon after, Belgium (Johan's home country) and the US joined forces with the UN leadership to undermine the Congo's newly elected prime minister, Patrice Lumumba, who had emerged as a dynamic leader of the nascent united Africa movement. Lumumba's downfall plays out in the bitterly divided 15th UN Assembly. Nikita Khruschev, Malcolm X and Fidel Castro appear alongside jazz legends Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Abbey Lincoln and others, who also play a key role in the story… and in the soundtrack.   “Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat” is released by Kino Lorber.   Hidden Gem: “Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey” “Close-Up”   Follow: @topdocspod on Instagram and X    The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

La prehistoria discográfica del Conjunto Casino nos permite recordar al cantante y maraquero Juan Fuentes quien protagonizara las primeras grabaciones de este emblemático conjunto en 1942 para la etiqueta norteamericana Víctor. "A mí qué", original del percusionista y rumbero Jesús Guerra, antecedía a otra guaracha: "La mulata arrebatá". Creación de otro compositor cubano de esos años: Don Raymat. Buen recuerdo para Juan Fuentes, conocido en el ambiente musical, de mediados de los años 30 y primeros 40, con el sobrenombre de "Bolita". Junto a él las voces del tresero Esteban Grau y Roberto Espí con algo del repertorio que entonces presentaba el "Casino" en el escenario del Cabaret habanero "Zombie Club". "Con la lengua afuera" de Agustín Ribot y "Rumba quimbumba" del contrabajista Cristóbal Dobal nos permiten seguir recordando a este buen cantante cubano. Así recordamos hoy al que fuera el primer cantante guarachero del Conjunto Casino. Juan Fuentes "Bolita", falleció el 5 de enero de 1997 en Miami. Había nacido en La Habana el 11 de diciembre de 1909. Y una versión más reciente de la rumba de Cristóbal Dobal: "Apretando" es la excusa perfecta para acercarnos a la destacada labor del percusionista venezolano Carlos Emilio Landaeta. Con el singular sobrenombre de "pan con queso" desarrolló una notable trayectoria artística desde mediados de los años 40 del siglo XX. Desde entonces su paso por diferentes agrupaciones como la orquesta de Luis Alfonso Larraín, la Sonora "Caracas" y "Billo Caracas Boys" asentó un largo camino que lo llevó a la creación de su septeto "Sonero Clásico del Caribe" en el año 1976. Respetuoso admirador de la música popular cubana, y del Caribe en general, fue hasta el final de sus días un ferviente guardian y difusor del repertorio sonero nuestro. Hoy recordamos al gran "Pan con queso" y a su "Sonero Clásico del Caribe" desde una producción del año 1980, con varios clásicos cubanos en las voces de Jesús Gómez, Johnny Pérez y Rogelia "Canelita" Medina. "Déjame gozar mulata" de Miguel Matamoros; "La Cazuelita" de Gelasio Delis y el son montuno "Corazón de chivo" de Arsenio Rodríguez completan este breve tributo al entrañable músico venezolano. Carlos Emilio Landaeta falleció el 30 de septiembre de 1991. Había nacido en la ciudad de Caracas el 4 de noviembre de 1920. Con el apoyo discográfico de la etiqueta "Tropicana" fundada por Adolfo Seeman, productor de la emisora habanera CMOX, sobresaliente por sus programaciones dedicadas al jazz, vieron la luz estas grabaciones en 1960, repartidas en dos álbumes. Acompañaron a Frank Emilio en lo que fue el preámbulo de una larga hermandad musical: Gustavo Tamayo en güiro; Papito Hernández en contrabajo; Tata Güines en las tumbadoras, y Guillermo Barreto en pailas y drums. "Habana", en clave bolero swing, original de Fernando Mulens; "Algo bueno", firmado por Dizzy Gillespie y Chano Pozo y "No te importe saber" de René Touzet. El ya clásico "Gandinga, mondongo y sandunga", de Frank Emilio, y "Scheherezada cha cha chá", del binomio Piloto y Vera, ya con la posterior formación de "Los Amigos" con Cachaito López en contrabajo, completan nuestra banda sonora de hoy. Unos minutos para recordar la presencia del violinista, arreglista y compositor urugüayo Federico Britos en la escena cubana de los años 60. Amante del riquísimo mundo melódico y armónico del Brasil, Britos junto a sus colegas Federico Vigil y Mario Lagarde, completó una singular formación bautizada como "Los Federicos" pasando a ser, durante esa convulsa década, referente importante para sus contemporáneos. Un lujo compartir el arte de Federico Britos en tres tiempos: primero con aquellos "Federicos" de los años 60s, luego con "Los amigos" y finalmente desde una reciente colaboración con la Orquesta "Failde" para una formidable producción de la etiqueta estatal EGREM del año 2019.

Listen to the final episode in our three-part series celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of trombonist J.J. Johnson, one of the greatest jazz icons to emerge from Indianapolis. On this edition, we'll focus on Johnson's work in third stream music––a term coined by the conductor and composer Gunther Schuller in 1957 as a blend of classical and jazz music. Johnson was involved in the early development of third stream music and the genre left a lasting influence on his work. Johnson composed several important third steam works, including “Perceptions”, a composition for solo trumpet and large jazz orchestra. The piece was commissioned by the jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie and recorded for Verve Records in 1961.  Hear excerpts from “Perceptions” and other third stream compositions by Johnson.

Today's show begins with a reminder to vote on or before Election Day, Nov 5, 2024. Let's start with a tribute to Dizzy Gillespie's run for President in 1964. That's followed by Ella's Vote for Mr. Rhythm. A new posthumous release from trumpeter Roy Hargrove has a track, Kamala's Dance (written for Roy's daughter). After that is just some music I have been listening to this past week.

Something a little outside of the normal scope of Countermelody for today's episode: Earlier this year I published a bonus episode on the fascinating singer/songwriter Benard Ighner (1945-2017) and his modern-day standard “Everything Must Change,” which I re-present today. The song has had a profound effect on me ever since I heard the version by the great Oleta Adams on her 1990 solo debut album, Circle of One. At the time I assumed that Oleta herself had written it, but I came to discover that it was penned by Ighner and first recorded by Quincy Jones on his 1974 album, Body Heat, and that since then many, many pop and jazz singers of the past fifty years have covered the song. All these different versions have both delighted and fascinated (as well as occasionally mystified and frustrated) me. The song itself is both fatalistic and hopeful, which is exactly the place I find myself as Election Day in the US approaches. Intrigued by both the song and its composer, I dug deeper and discovered all I could about Benard Ighner. An autodidactic musical polymath, Ighner rubbed shoulders with some of the greatest pop and jazz musicians of his time, and not just the hundreds of singers and instrumentalists who have jumped on the “Everything Must Change” bandwagon! This song brings out either the very best or the very worst of those who interpret it. In choosing my favorite versions, I have veered toward those who embrace understatement rather than vocal caterwauling and children's choruses. The episode begins with examples of Ighner's early work from the late sixties and early seventies, including pseudonymous encounters with Dizzy Gillespie (as Benard Ito) and Lalo Schifrin (as Alexander Saint Charles); proceeding through songs he wrote and produced for Shirley Bassey, Marlena Shaw, and Carmen McRae; as well as two excerpts from his solo album, a one-off 1978 Japanese release entitled Little Dreamer. We then hear ten different versions of the song, including, among others, Nina Simone, June Christy, Peggy Lee, Sarah Vaughan, Minako Yoshida (sung to her own Japanese translation), a recent magisterial live performance by Oleta Adams, and, even Ighner himself, who, alongside his other many musical talents, possessed a velvety baritone voice of exceptional beauty, poise, and power. May this episode provide hope, courage, and insight for all of those who do believe that we can overcome the mad popularity-contest antics of this election cycle and lean toward a future in which morality and hope can still prove to be guiding principles. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

The most unexplored areas of the earth are its vast waterways. Humans can't breath underwater and thus our explorations of the seas are very limited. We often wonder if stories about mysterious and sometimes ferocious sea creatures are inspired by our imaginings of what could be below the surface of the water or if they are based on true experiences. When deep sea explorations do manage to send back pictures, some very unique and weird creatures are revealed. They help to make some of the legends we have heard about monsters in the water, more believable. On this episode, we are going to explore the myths and legends and possible true stories of sea monsters. The Moment in Oddity features the Cornell Pumpkin and This Month in History features Dizzy Gillespie.

Jesus Molina discovered his musical gift at a very young age. Born in Colombia, you might assume that his music inspiration was cumbia or vallenato. That wasn't the case for Jesus. As a self-proclaimed YouTube baby, it was there that he discovered legendary jazz artists, such as Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, Errol Garner, Bill Evans, Chick Corea, and Dizzy Gillespie - artists that captivated him and shaped the musician he is today. In 2016, Molina was honored with the prestigious Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation award, the Juan Luis Guerra Scholarship, which included music education at the Berklee College of Music. Since then, Jesus has emerged as one of the premier jazz keyboardists on the international stage. He recently released a new album titled “Selah” that was produced by the legendary Bobby Colomby. Here to chat with us about the new album, and his sudden rise to prominence on the jazz scene, is Jesus Molina.
