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.

Johnson was born on January 22,1924 and passed away on February 4,2001 at age 77. He recorded a lot in his long career with small bands and large ensembles and of course was an accomplished composer, arranger. The album on hand is to this writer a definitive album with J.J. and his working band with Harold Mabern on piano, Arthur Harper on bass and Frank Gant on drums. It was recorded for Impulse Records on May 1, 1964. The album is called "Proof Positive" and it has been a favorite and a worthy 100th Birthday tribute to one of Jazz Music's great master, Mr. J.J. Johnson.

Hoy os cercamos uno de los primeros trabajos de un músico extraordinario, el saxofonista alto Richie Cole. Su título? Alto Madness editado en el año 1977. Este es uno de aquellos discos en los cuales la tecla de avance de tu reproductor carece de sentido. Preciosas baladas como Cole’s Nocturne, Island Breeze o Moodys Mood for Love se unen a frenéticas versiones de composiciones clásicas como es el caso de Last Tango in Paris, original del saxofonista argentino Gato Barbieri. El disco cuenta además con la presencia de algunos grandes músicos entre los cuales cabe destacar la del extraordinario vocalista Eddie Jefferson, que aquí ejerce también de productor, el pianista Harold Mabern, el bajista Eddie Gladen o el guitarrista Vic Juris.

Roxy Coss is a saxophonist, Composer, Bandleader, Recording Artist, Educator and Activist (Founder and President of WIJO). Sounds busy, huh? We didn't even mention that she recently became a new mother! Anyone with even half as busy a life could testify that it's easy to get caught up in so many different roles. Without hardly noticing, you start to compartmentalize. Pre-pandemic and pre-baby, Roxy Coss was feeling a separation between various parts of her life. She was working on new music, and the more it emerged, the more she realized it was a manifestation of these “Disparate Parts.” Ultimately, it became a four movement suite: “The Body,” “The Mind,” “The Heart,” and “The Spirit.” Tune in to hear Roxy's take on each movement and how she's learned to accept herself and the many facets of her life. Plus, Roxy shares the personal impact of the late pianist Harold Mabern and how he inspired the song “Mabes.” Resources: Learn more about Roxy Coss on her website or social media. You can find Disparate Parts anywhere you stream music. It's also available for purchase through Amazon Music. Stay tuned to Bite-Size Jazz in by following us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter. And if you'd like to support Bite-Size Jazz and our mission to spread great stories about amazing music, you can buy me a coffee :) Thanks for listening!
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!

Пианист Harold Mabern умер 17 сентября 2019 года в возрасте 83 лет, но успел отдать свою дань великому мастеру саксофона John Coltrane, выступая на фестивалях в его честь. Играть Колтрейна с Гарольдом было похоже на прослушивание оригиналов, - сказал Joe Farnsworth. Он был подобен водовороту, все текло через него и это было очень интенсивно. Наличие Гарольда на сцене, учитывая насколько он любил Джона, десятикратно поднимало весь дух музыки. Он любил выступать на фестивалях посвященных Колтрейну, которые начались в 2011 году. Он был единственным, кто играл каждый вечер, и очень гордился этим. Это было похоже на то, как он сам говорил: Я буду играть сильнее каждый вечер, я буду играть лучше каждую ночь, никто не переиграет меня, никто не будет перебивать меня, и никто не сможет перехитрить меня. Пришло время Гарольда Мейберна. Альбом был записан в течении трех вечеров фестиваля в январе 2018 года. Продюсеры Paul Stache и Damon Smith записывали на аналоговую ленту с помощью мастеринг-деки Studer.

The MJT+3 was a band put together in Chicago by Chicagoans, Walter Perkins, a fine drummer and bassist Bob Cranshaw. They worked a lot together in the Windy City and backed many a visiting Jazz star and great locals too. They called themselves the MJT and that stood for "The Modern Jazz Two". They decided to form a band, a quintet and they called it The MJT+3. After some shifting in personnel the group settled on alto saxophonist/flutist Frank Strozier and trumpet ace Willy Thomas. The pianist was the formidable Harold Mabern. They made 3 albums that were well received by fans and critics for the Chicago label Vee-Jay Records. On tonight's Jazz Feature that was never issued on LP back then but discovered in 2000 and issued on CD on Koch Jazz. It turned out to be their last album before they all moved to New York and the band dissolved after a few NYC engagements. The album title was "Message from Walton Street" which was Walter Perkins' house in Chicago where they rehearsed. The music is energetic, fresh and cohesive and you have to realize what a fine little band was The MJT+3. That's what will be heard tonight on The Jazz Show.

There is really no argument that Wes Montgomery was one of the most important guitar stylists to emerge from relative obscurity in the early 1960's. His rise to Jazz stardom began with his signing with Riverside Records and eventually moving on to the larger Verve Records. His working band of 1964/65 is tonight's Jazz Feature recorded in Paris at Le Theatre Des Champs-Elysees on March 27,1965 a few weeks after Wes' 41st Birthday. The quartet is very cohesive with the great Harold Mabern on piano, young Arthur Harper on bass and the wonderful Jimmy Lovelace on drums. We move through some Montgomery originals and a couple of standards and a John Coltrane tune "Impressions". The great Wes Montgomery at his best tonight!.
We’re joined by bassist Leon Lee Dorsey. His latest release is a collaboration with drummer Mike Clark and pianist Harold Mabern. The album is titled as a tribute to the late pianist, “Thank You Mr. Mabern.” That studio session would be Mr. Mabern’s last. Leon and I are talk about those moments of working with Harold and Mike… but we also discuss the fundamentals of leading an ensemble as a bassist. More at leonleedorsey.com.

In today’s episode we’re speaking with drummer and composer Jonathan Barber. We discussed his early musical upbringing, his time at the Jackie McLean Institute, his strategy for joining your dream band, the best mindset for success, working with Pat Metheny, and much more.Support the Podcast: https://berniesbootlegs.com/supportConnect with Jonathan:Website: http://jonathanbarbermusic.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathanb_live/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-eE3V1WYdHvc5f2MzU6zmAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonathanbarberartistpage/Connect with Bernie's Bootlegs:Website: http://berniesbootlegs.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/berniesbootlegsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/berniesbootlegsTwitter: https://twitter.com/berniesbootlegsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/berniesbootlegs1Email: berniesbootlegs@gmail.comAppended biography, courtesy of jonathanbarbermusic.com:"Jonathan Barber & Vision Ahead is an ascendant New York jazz quintet led by Modern Drummer’s “#1 Best Up-and-Coming Drummer of 2018,” Jonathan Barber. Only 29 years old, Mr. Barber has already worked with artists such as Pat Metheny, Nicholas Payton, Buster Williams, Kenny Barron, Jeremy Pelt, Jimmy Greene, J.D. Allen, Harold Mabern, Larry Willis, Steve Davis, The Brooklyn Philharmonic, and Erykah Badu. Now, he’s stepping out in full force as a bandleader. DownBeat magazine calls Vision Ahead’s self-titled debut album Barber’s “greatest accomplishment to date,” but make no mistake, this group is more than the Jonathan Barber Quintet; this is unmistakably “Vision Ahead,” a distinctive and close-knit group of musicians who have been working toward this moment for years. Featuring Godwin Louis on saxophone, Andrew Renfroe on guitar, Matt Dwonszyk on bass, and Taber Gable on piano, Vision Ahead offers a fresh blend of classic jazz with elements of gospel, rock, soul, and fusion that’s already attracting listeners across generations. Even when they’re playing hard—and they do reach some thrilling crescendos—this extremely dynamic band always feels impeccably sharp and in control, cool far beyond their years. Barber also shows quite a gift for pacing in his new compositions, with each song boasting a real sense of progression that’s balanced with a proper spotlight on his bandmates’ noteworthy improvisations. Barber is the main composer but each member of the band contributes compositions and arrangements. With strong melodic motifs and almost every extended solo accompanied by new forms or themes, Barber’s music strikes the rare balance of maintaining a clear emotional through-line while still providing each soloist a fresh foundation on which to build. Jonathan Barber & Vision Ahead has performed at The Jazz Standard, BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, Scullers Jazz Club, Smalls Jazz Club, Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, Rockwood Music Hall, Smoke Jazz Club, The Cell, Minton’s Playhouse, Black Eyed Sally’s, The Side Door and other notable music venues. In August of 2018 this band headlined the Rainy Days Festival held in St. Petersburg and Moscow, Russia. The name “Vision Ahead” holds deep personal significance to Barber..."Support the show (http://berniesbootlegs.com/support)

How’s it going everybody, today I am speaking with saxophonist Ken Fowser. We discuss his upbringing in the Philadelphia jazz scene, his thoughts on the necessity of jazz school, how to be more successful booking gigs, the importance of the hang, and much more.Connect with Ken Fowser:Website: https://kenfowserjazz.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kenfowser/Connect with Bernie's Bootlegs:Website: http://podcast.berniesbootlegs.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/berniesbootlegsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/berniesbootlegsTwitter: https://twitter.com/berniesbootlegsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/berniesbootlegs1About Ken, courtesy of kenfowserjazz.com:"Since his arrival on the New York scene in 2005, Ken Fowser has continued to steer traditional harmony in uncharted directions. His lyrical approach to line construction and depth of harmonic sensibility allow him to record and play all over the world with such master players and burgeoning stars as David Hazeltine, Ugonna Okegwo, Donald Vega, Willie Jones III, Rick Germanson, Quincy Davis, David Wong, Jason Brown, Dezon Douglas and Rodney Green. A prolific composer, Fowser has celebrated four cooperative releases on Posi-tone Records, co-led with vibraphone virtuoso, Behn Gillece. His debut release as a leader, Standing Tall earned him the number-one spot on JazzWeek Radio Chart seven weeks in a row. Each track reflects a contemporary treatment of conventional harmonic concepts—a creative manipulation that has become part of his signature sound as a composer and an arranger, as well as a soloist. Set for release in February 2017, Now Hear This, Fowser’s second release as a soloist for Posi-tone features 11 original compositions and the same chart-topping lineup as Standing Tall: Josh Bruneau, Rick Germanson, Paul Gill and Jason Tiemann. Performing live every Friday night, his blistering quintet headlines the New York nightlife scene at the Django inside the Roxy Hotel on the corner of Walker and Church (www.thedjangonyc.com). Fowser’s fluid phrasing and melodic approach to improvising developed as a result of his exposure to the rich musical legacy of the Philly Sound, following in time with the rhythmic footsteps of John Coltrane, Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, Philly Joe Jones, Benny Golson and The Heath Brothers. Attending The University of the Arts in the early 2000s, Fowser studied with Tony Salicandro and Chris Farr, before transferring to William Paterson University in New Jersey, where he studied with NEA Jazz Master, Harold Mabern—an artistic force who remains one of Fowser’s major musical influences, today. As a grad student at SUNY Purchase, Fowser studied with contemporary legends of the tenor saxophone Ralph Lalama, Grant Stewart and Eric Alexander—the latter with whom he forged a professional relationship, subbing for Alexander on many of his gigs, and playing with him live, in classic two tenor context. Becoming more visible on the live music scene, in the latter 2000s Fowser enjoyed both downtown and uptown residencies at iconic New York venues. Hosting the session at Smalls Jazz Club every Tuesday for four years, and playing the late set at Smoke Jazz and Supper Club every Friday for two years, he followed headlining sets of such masters as the late Cedar Walton, Buster Williams and perhaps his greatest influence, GSupport the show (http://berniesbootlegs.com/support)

Corcoran is one of the most influential musicians on the music scene today. His connection to the art form and the people is unparalleled. We had a great time dissecting the relationships between life, love, music and fatherhood. When you listen to this podcast do your absolute best to hold on to the words and emotions that he expresses so eloquently. Enjoy the show. Connect with Corcoran Here: https://www.corcoranholt.com/ Connect with Darrian Here: https://www.SecondLineArts.org Bio: Corcoran Holt, a son of Washington, DC, began playing djembe and other West African percussion at the age of 4 as a member of Wose Dance Company. As a keeper of the rhythm, Corcoran began his study of upright bass at age 10 with the renowned DC Youth Orchestra (DCYOP). Soon he learned that his great- grandfather, with whom he shares a birthday, was a bass player who grew up in High Point, NC and lived next door to a very young John Coltrane. Legend has it that he gave Trane music lessons. Corcoran feels called to the bass and his work is about honoring the ancestors. While continuing his classical training at DCYOP, Corcoran attended the prestigious Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington DC from 1996 to 2000 where he studied classical bass with Carolyn Kellock, and jazz music with educators Davey Yarborough, the late great Keter Betts and Steve Novasel. During these high school years, Corcoran realized his affinity for the jazz music and honed his performance skills by working frequently on the Washington DC jazz scene.

The mystery behind this little Chicago based band is simple. The MJT stands for the "Modern Jazz Two" This was bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Walter Perkins. They were the most sought after rhythm players on the Chicago scene in the late 50s. They recruited two horn players and a pianist and they comprised the "+3". After a few personnel changes, the band was set. Willie Thomas, a fine brass proud trumpeter was the man. On alto saxophone, one of the finest and most overlooked real voices of that instrument, Frank Strozier. On piano was a great player, Harold Mabern, who at 81 is still touring, lecturing and playing every bit as good as he does here when he was in his youth. This little band was very popular around Chicago and the general area and recorded several albums for Vee-Jay Records. This is one of their best and it's called "Make Everybody Happy!" This tight little band might not re-invent the wheel but they swung, were cohesive and had their own sound. The album was recorded in 1960. Soon after all of the members headed for New York and never recorded as a unit again. They all became stars in their own right. Meantime we have this delightful and creative little band to enjoy and I know you will. "Make Everybody Happy"...you too!
Saxophonist Eric Alexander joins Lee on location at the Monterey Jazz Festival to sample cuts from his solo album “Second Impression,” from the One For All album “The Third Decade” and from Mike LeDonne & the Groover Quartet’s “That Feelin’.” Eric describes his long musical and personal relationship with Harold Mabern, talks about how he stays sane on the road, and explains the genesis for his own tenor saxophone model with Ishimori. This episode sponsored by Inner Sanctum Audio.
This album is a fine example of a young group of New York based musicians who can be called true "keepers of the Jazz flame" They are advancing the Jazz tradition and contributing to it's evolution without moving far away from that grand tradition. They are not trying to re-create a past era and be fashionably "retro". These players are all very much in the present and play with a genuine energy and creativeness that recreating the past in music and fashion does not possess. They are for real and of today. Trumpeter Jim Rotondi reflects his influences of Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan but brings his personality to the fore as does tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander in reflecting his main influences, George Coleman, Sonny Rollins and "Blue Trane" period John Coltrane. Bassist John Webber is solid in the way Paul Chambers and Sam Jones were and is a bass player's bass player. Drummer Joe Farnsworth reflects the playing style of his mentor Arthur Taylor and he tempers this with the taste of Billy Higgins. The glue that holds this band together is the veteran pianist Harold Mabern who has played with virtually anybpdy who is anybody in the Jazz world . His presence and guidance is not lost on these younger men. Harold has kept his youthful energy by associating, inspiring and making music with these men and others of the same age and philosophy. M "Mabes" is forever! The tunes on this set called "Jim's Bop" are well chosen. A mixture of original tunes by Rotondi, Alexander and Farnsworth are heard plus a beautiful ballad, "We'll Be Together Again" and a rarely played Horace Silver tune called "Moonrays" is heard plus a fine arrangement of the latter day Stevie Wonder classic, :You Are The Sunshine of My Life". All in all "Jim's Bop" is a fine showcase for everyone's talent and a damn fine record date.

This was Lee Morgan's final recording date under his name and it was done in September of 1971. Lee was shot and killed by his estranged wife at age 33 on February 19, 1972. Morgan was identified by his relationship with hard bop but when this recording was done Morgan was looking at some new horizons. His working band consisting of tenor saxophonist/composer Billy Harper, pianist Harold Mabern, electric bassist Jymie Merritt and drummer Freddie Waits was augmented here by flutist Bobbi Humphrey,trombonist Grachan Moncur 111 and an addition acoustic bassist in the person of Reginald Workman, Of the four tunes presented here, two are by Harper..."Capra Black" and "Croquet Ballet" and one tune by bassist Jymie Merritt called "Angela" for Angela Davis and a fine tune by pianist Harold Mabern called "In What Direction Are You Headed?". New music and a new sound from a great Jazz Master....Lee Morgan left us at 33 but his music lives forever!

Pianist, vocalist and composer Henry Butler discusses his life of teaching and performing rhythm and blues and jazz. He performs selected pieces on the piano that were influenced by his native New Orleans. Butler also shares his experience of losing his home from Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Interviewing Butler is the Library's Larry Appelbaum. Speaker Biography: Henry Butler (b 1949 New Orleans, LA) is a pianist, vocalist and composer who began playing at the age of six and quickly assimilated the blues, rhythm & blues and jazz of his hometown. Blind since birth, Butler earned a Masters degree in vocal music. He also studied piano with George Duke, Roland Hanna and Harold Mabern, and pursued further studies in Brazilian, Afro-Cuban and other Caribbean music with Alvin Batiste. Butler's home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He now lives in Denver, CO.
This is one of the great trombonist's most personal recordings. J.J. Johnson is one of the true pioneers of Modern Jazz as his concept on the trombone was the standard that all modern trombonists are measured. He is to the trombone what Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Charlie Parker are to their instruments. Johnson was an important composer and arranger as well and a very consistent player. He had made quartet recordings in the 50's with himself as the sole horn but this date, done in 1964 with his working group is deeper and more fully developed. Johnson's band consists of Harold Mabern on piano, Arthur Harper on bass and a fine sensitive drummer from Detroit named Frank Gant. Johnson mixes things up with standards and some Jazz specialties like Miles Davis' "Neo". Max Roach's composition "Blues Waltz" (some say it was written by Ray Charles) is given a definitive treatment and Johnson's own "Minor Blues" is a powerful statement. This is a recording that I would introduce anyone to the magnificent style of the modern master of the trombone........J.J. Johnson.
