Podcast appearances and mentions of Horace Silver

ESTÁNDARES SEMANALES.-The Way You Look Tonight.-VINILOS MÍTICOS DEL JAZZ.-Horace Silver - Horace Silver And The Jazz Messengers.-JAZZACTUALIDAD.-INTOKABLE BIG BAND.-A FERRO Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers es un álbum de Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers que recopila dos LP de 10" de 1955: Horace Silver Quintet, Vol. 3 (BLP 5058) y Horace Silver Quintet, Vol. 4 (BLP 5062), grabados el 13 de noviembre de 1954 y el 6 de febrero de 1955 respectivamente y lanzados en Blue Note en octubre de 1956, el primer 12" de Silver. El quinteto cuenta con una sección de instrumentos de viento formada por Hank Mobley y Kenny Dorham y una sección rítmica por Doug Watkins y Art Blakey . Una de las canciones más exitosas del álbum, « The Preacher », casi fue rechazada para su grabación por el productor Alfred Lion , quien la consideró «demasiado anticuada», pero fue reincorporada por la insistencia de Blakey y Silver, quienes amenazaron con cancelar la sesión hasta que escribiera otra canción para grabar en su lugar si no la incluían. Según Silver, la canción demostró que la banda podía «remontarse al pasado y conseguir esa sensación de bar de antaño con un toque de ritmo». Estas grabaciones ayudaron a establecer el estilo hard bop . Éstas fueron las primeras sesiones en las que utilizó el formato de quinteto, que utilizaría en gran medida durante el resto de su carrera. Título: A Ferro!

Duración: 50:01 Calificación: 3* Comentario: Catorce años después de su primer disco, que tuvo una buena acogida por la critica especializada, Carlos Ferri «Patilla» se vuelve a poner al mando de esta estupenda Big Band, para presentarnos su segundo trabajo. Como bien explica en el libreto interior del disco su director, «A Ferro!», es el resultado de muchos años de esfuerzo colectivo y de sacrifico personal de un grupo de músicos que han crecido, personal y profesionalmente juntos. «Intokables Big Band», se fundó en 2007 para experimentar con un repertorio donde se mezclaba el jazz, por supuesto, el funky, y, como no, el swing para, partiéndooslo de composiciones propias en su gran mayoría, y con los arreglos de destacados músicos, poner en valor el auge del jazz en el entorno que se mueven estos jóvenes músicos —en su gran mayoría—, y que se vienen nucleando alrededor de esa impagable institución valenciana, que es Sedajazz Records. Años después, y demostrando que el proyecto no era flor de un día, se creó en 2021, la «Jove Intokable Big Band», una iniciativa que buscaba preservar el futuro de la «Intocable Big Band» con el correspondiente relevo generacional. Y este segundo disco, responde a ese concepto. «A Ferro!», contiene swing a raudales, los arreglos son muy creativos, y el nivel instrumental de los solistas, estupendos. Música alegre, optimista, viva y fresca, y que bajo la batuta de su director, el maestro «Carlos Ferri «Patilla», nos ofrecen un fresco y renovado repertorio don del swing, es el gran protagonista. Enhorabuena por este gran trabajo que merece ser escuchado una y otra vez.

Con Carlos López I Publicado en 1965 por el prestigioso sello Blue Note Records, Song for My Father es uno de los discos más emblemáticos del pianista y compositor Horace Silver. Desde su primera nota, este álbum nos transporta a un universo donde el swing, los ritmos latinos y las melodías envolventes se mezclan de manera magistral. El tema que da nombre al álbum es, sin duda, su joya más brillante y una influencia muy directa para otros géneros, pero resultó no ser la única y eso hace que estemos ante uno de los discos imprescindibles y atemporales de este género, un trabajo que tiene algo que pocos logran: sofisticación y accesibilidad.

Pianist Horace Silver, born September 2, 1928, in Connecticut, played tenor saxophone and piano in school, and received his first national recognition when his trio was hired to play with saxophonist Stan Getz in 1950. His career received a major boost when he became part of the original Jazz Messengers with Art Blakey, and recorded his first hit composition, The Preacher. He toured with Blakey until 1956, when he left to start his own quintet, which featured his prolific compositional talents, and launched the careers of numerous younger players over the ensuing decades. He is one of the musicians credited with launching the hard bop style.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is an iconic album by pianist/composer Horace Silver entitled "The Tokyo Blues". It is a series of new compositions by Silver commemorating his first trip to Japan as a bandleader. His long standing quintet here has Richard "Blue" Mitchell on trumpet, Junior Cook on tenor saxophone, Gene Taylor on bass and a very worthy substitute for an ailing Roy Brooks (Horace's regular drummer) in John Harris Jr. and of course Horace Silver on piano. The band as usual is tight and very inspired on this date made in July of 1962. Four of the five compositions are new and written by Silver and a lovely trio track contrasts with the full band tunes and it was written by a friend of Horace's, pianist Ronnell Bright and called "Cherry Blossom". "The Tokyo Blues" is one of Horace Silver's finest albums and is tonight's Jazz Feature.

For the next three weeks on Echoes of Indiana Avenue, we'll celebrate the July birthday of the saxophonist and flutist James Spaulding, one of the greatest living legends of the Avenue jazz scene. Spaulding has performed with the greatest legends in jazz music, from Herbie Hancock to Louis Armstrong.  On this week's edition, we'll focus on Spaulding's work for the famous Blue Note label. Spaulding was featured on over 20 classic Blue Note albums, working with star bandleaders like Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, Stanley Turrentine, Lee Morgan, Horace Silver, Grant Green, and many others.

Tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley (born July 7, 1930) was described as the “Middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone” by critic Leonard Feather, but most musicians think he punched well above that weight class. His career included stints with Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Max Roach and Miles Davis as well as over thirty recordings as a bandleader in his own right. Many of his compositions have become jazz standards, and his soulful and lyrical solos stood out every time he played his horn.

Trumpeter/composer Tom Harrell, born June 16, 1946, is one of most creative players of his instrument, and a prolific and fresh compositional voice as well. His achievements are all the more remarkable when you consider he suffers from symptoms of schizophrenia, and has only one lung! Early in his career he toured with the big bands of Stan Kenton and Woody Herman, followed by sideman stints with Horace Silver and Phil Woods. For the past three decades he has carved out his place as a leader in his own right, and composes wonderful original music in abundance.

When Ron Carter's name comes up, one of the first things people write or say is – he's played bass and cello on over 2500 albums. That's impressive and awe-inspiring. Totally agree. When I hear the name Ron Carter I think of the bassist who played in Miles Davis' second band, alongside Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams & George Coleman. “The List” of bands and recordings would include Wayne Shorter, Blue Note recordings with Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, Horace Silver, and 100's of others. I talked to Ron about his recordings in popular music.  Roberta Flack, Eddie Harris, Aretha, Billy Joel, Bette Midler, Erykah Badu, A tribe called Quest, Phoebe Snow, The Rascals, Gil Scott-Heron, Carlos Santana. Ron has taught music for many years at esteemed colleges and schools, his current documentary is Finding the Right Notes, also the name of his bio book. Ron Carter turns 87 years old today – Saturday, May 4 !!  we wish him WELL. Enjoy the conversation – I sure did.

Jazz saxophonist Joe Henderson was born on April 25, 1937 in Ohio. Following his stint in the U.S. Army from 1960 to 1962, Henderson made his way to New York City, where he crossed paths with fellow saxophonist Dexter Gordon. Joining Gordon's band proved pivotal for Henderson's career, exposing him to diverse musical influences including bebop, R&B, and Latin styles. Henderson's breakthrough arrived with a standout solo on Horace Silver's popular track, "Song for My Father." This led to a deal with Blue Note Records, featuring a remarkable 30 albums from 1963 to 1968.  Throughout his career, Henderson collaborated with jazz luminaries such as Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock, as well as the rock ensemble Blood, Sweat & Tears.  In 2001, Henderson died at 64 years old.

Saxophonist/composer Joe Henderson (born April 24, 1937) was an eclectic performer, recording over thirty albums on Blue Note records, raging from straight ahead sessions with Horace Silver to more avant-guard outings with Andrew Hill, always sounding like himself in every setting. He recorded with Herbie Hancock and even spent a period of time with Blood, Sweat and Tears. The bulk of the material we'll play is drawn from the seminal recordings he made with trumpeter Kenny Dorham in the 1960s, many of the tunes this group recorded have become jazz standards.

In this episode of Small Business Origins, host John Kelley interviews Rick DellaRatta, founder of Jazz for Peace, a nonprofit organization that uses jazz events to raise funds and awareness for other outstanding causes around the world. Rick shares how his lifelong passion for music led him to realize the power of jazz to bring people together across boundaries. On September 11, 2001, witnessing the attacks inspired Rick to found Jazz for Peace. He discusses how the organization works with small community causes to organize jazz events that support their fundraising and outreach goals. Main Discussion Points:- Rick's early years growing up in a musical family and starting piano lessons- Studying jazz and traveling as a musician around the U.S. and internationally - Seeing music's ability to connect with people regardless of background - Being inspired on 9/11 to use jazz to help outstanding causes and bring more peace- How Jazz for Peace partners with small local causes to organize custom jazz events- Raising money, awareness, supporters for community organizations in need Guest Bio: Rick DellaRatta is now considered by many to be one of the finest Singer/Pianists performing today and one of only a handful of Jazz Artists who can make a successful musical presentation to a large audience without having to abandon the true art form of Jazz. Through his life long endeavor to help advance people to their highest potential through the understanding of Jazz as well as spreading peace worldwide through his "Jazz for Peace World Tour", Rick DellaRatta is considered to be an innovator and a visionary.His unique and original piano playing and composing has been compared in print to Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett, Joe Zawinul, Horace Silver, Oscar Peterson and Thelonious Monk while his signature vocal sound and style has been likened to Chet Baker, Billie Holiday, Joao Gilberto, Ivan Lins, Michael Franks and Antonio Carlos Jobim.Dr. Billy Taylor put Ricks impact in perspective when commenting on Ricks "Thought Provoking CD - he said: "Rick DellaRatta is one of the people who is taking Jazz to the next level".Company Bio:Jazz for Peace is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Rick DellaRatta in New York City in 2002.

(00:25:00)"When you see the people we've, helped, most of most of them are organizations you've never heard of...There's a charity that helps birds.

Now, I have a whole bunch of actual solutions to actual problems.In today's episode of "Superpowers for Good," I had the pleasure of speaking with Rick DellaRatta, the visionary founder of Jazz for Peace. Rick's insights into the power of music as a universal language for fostering peace and unity struck a deep chord with me and, I believe, with our listeners as well.Rick poetically expressed how "Jazz for Peace, coming through the trees, fills my heart like a celebration." This imagery captures the essence of what Rick has achieved through his work—using the universal appeal of jazz music to bridge divides, inspire hope, and foster a deeper connection among people, irrespective of their backgrounds.During our conversation, Rick recounted an incredibly moving experience in Ghana, where he performed for individuals who had never been exposed to jazz music before. His reflections on their genuine, unfiltered reactions to the music underscored the universal language of jazz. "It's funny because there's a video of it... and you can hear the people reacting to the music at certain points. They would start clapping and make sounds as it affected them, and they would just emote that it was affecting them," Rick shared.This experience in Ghana highlights the raw power of music to transcend cultural and linguistic barriers, offering a glimpse into the potential of the arts to build bridges and foster understanding.

Born in Santa Monica, California, Debbie Poryes found herself at the piano when she was five, practicing everything from Chopin to show tunes. Playing led to fascination with musical theory and structure, then jazz standards, composing, and improvising. Hearing Monk and Miles as a teenager, she fell in love with their music and decided to become a jazz pianist. At twenty, her first regular paying gig lasted a year at a Berkeley restaurant, playing five nights a week from 5 p.m. to midnight.Debbie has always gone her own way musically, even while maintaining a constant study through transcription and analysis of her favorite players and composers, such as Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter, Keith Jarrett, Horace Silver, Hank Jones, Sonny Clark, and Clare Fischer. Drawn strongly to 20th century classical music, she has been influenced by many composers, including Aaron Copland and Norman Dello Joio. In her early years as a musician in Oakland, her passion led her to play frequently at jam sessions while continuing to study classical music and jazz with local players. She composed and arranged music, and produced her own concerts with her duos, trios and quartets in addition to freelancing with various local singers and bands. She has performed all over the San Francisco Bay Area notably, at the Stanford Jazz Festival, SFJazz, Yoshi's Jazzclub, the Berkeley Jazzschool, the Healdsburg Jazz Festival, and the Piedmont Piano Company. True to her beginnings, she still loves playing in restaurants and played twice-weekly for 6 years at the New Orleans-styled Oakland restaurant Pican, only stopping when the restaurant up and closed! A significant aspect to Debbie's musical life has been her experience with tendonitis in her wrists. In her thirties, pain forced her to stop playing for two years, during which time she explored many avenues of healing. A breakthrough came when she happened upon Dorothy Taubman's piano technique, which emphasized maintaining the natural coordination of the fingers, hand, and arm. Absorbing this new way of thinking, Debbie continues to study it with her teacher John Bloomfield in New York and pass it along to her grateful students. The injury turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it led not only to Debbie's development of a beautiful sound without harshness but also an ease and control she didn't have before. One has only to see Debbie play to appreciate how comfortable her hands are at the keyboard.Debbie felt the call to teach early in her career and continues to adore helping students understand jazz and further their own playing. Debbie has internet students around the globe in addition to her students at her home studio. She taught at the Berkeley Jazzschool for over 20 years as well as many summers at the Stanford Summer Jazz Program and has given presentations to the California Music Teachers' Association on how to teach jazz. In the summer of 2018 Debbie moved to Philadelphia. Her husband Tony Fels retired from his teaching job at the University of San Francisco and they, along with their daughter, returned to his hometown. She continues to teach her California and global students through the internet and is enjoying her new students and gigs in Philadelphia.Please visit  https://www.debbieporyes.com/ for Debbie's incredible website. The Golandsky Institute's mission is to provide cutting-edge instruction to pianists based on the groundbreaking work of Dorothy Taubman. This knowledge can help them overcome technical and musical challenges, cure and prevent playing-related injuries, and lead them to achieve their highest level of artistic excellence.Please visit our website at: www.golandskyinstitute.org.

Jazz - mysterious, challenging, expressive . . . funny?  Rarely, one might think, but some artists display a sense of humor, even if it's subtle.  In this episode, the boys listen to five albums with at least some humorous aspects.  Things rarely get "funny ha ha" but hey, this isn't a Zappa podcast, now is it?  Karen Mantler – BUSINESS IS BAD; George Benson – WHITE RABBIT; Mostly Other People Do the Killing – THIS IS OUR MOOSIC; Horace Silver – JAZZ HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR; Ray Anderson – BLUES BRED IN THE BONE.

Welcome to Episode #112 of "The Other Side of the Bell", a podcast brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. In this episode, John talks with Wayne Bergeron and Jeff Bunnell about their recently released album called "Homage" by the Los Angeles Trumpet Ensemble.  We hope you'll enjoy their conversation as well as the album. Join us at Dillon Music, November 9-11 for valve alignments and mouthpiece consultations. Email sales@dillonmusic to schedule an appointment! About the Los Angeles Trumpet Ensemble Album "Homage"  The recording scene in Los Angeles has a long history of great and highly versatile trumpet playing. For the most part, though, these trumpet players rarely get a chance to be featured. In 1957, Tutti Camarata arranged and produced a record called Tutti's Trumpets that featured some of the top session trumpet players in Los Angeles at that time. That was over 60 years ago. Wayne Bergeron and Jeff Bunnell started talking about doing another recording that would feature some of the current session trumpet players here in Los Angeles. Wayne suggested recording a trumpet ensemble CD to Jeff and they loved the idea and thought a choir of trumpets would work well. With that, the Los Angeles Trumpet Ensemble came into being. In choosing the music Jeff arranged for this CD, he wanted to pay tribute to some of the film composers who are part of the Los Angeles recording scene (and who write so well for the trumpet), and also pay tribute to some of the great trumpet players of the past and present.  Jerry Hey graciously wrote the arrangment for the last track, the iconic Al Jarreau tune "Roof Garden". Los Angeles Trumpet Ensemble Members Jeff Bunnell Wayne Bergeron Jon Lewis Dan Fornero Marissa Benedict Dan Rosenboom Rob Schaer Larry Hall Dan Savant About Wayne Bergeron Wayne Bergeron is enjoying a career as one of the most sought-after musicians in the world. Studio sessions, film dates, international touring, jazz concerts, guest appearances, and clinics keep him busy not only in his hometown of Los Angeles but worldwide. Born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1958, Bergeron came to California at age one. He originally started on French horn but switched to trumpet in seventh grade where he found a natural upper register ability. Bergeron credits his junior high and high school teachers, Ron Savitt and Bob Smith, for molding his talent into practical working skills. Bergeron first caught the ear of many when he landed the lead trumpet chair with Maynard Ferguson's band in 1986. Bergeron can be heard on Maynard's recordings of Body and Soul, Big Bop Nouveau, Brass Attitude, and The One and Only Maynard Ferguson.  Bergeron demonstrates daily why Maynard remarked, “Wayne is the most musical lead trumpet player I've had on my band.” As a sideman, Bergeron's list of recording credits reads like a “who's who” in contemporary jazz and pop, running the stylistic gamut from Ray Charles to Green Day. Other names include Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Barbra Streisand, Michael Buble, Indina Menzel, Leslie Oden Jr., Herb Alpert, The Jonas Brothers, Burt Bacharach, The Dirty Loops, Seth MacFarlane, Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, Seal, Diana Krall, Tito Puente, Christina Aguilera, Dianne Reeves, Michael Bolton, Earth Wind & Fire, The Pussy Cat Dolls, My Chemical Romance, The Mars Volta, Chicago, Rosemary Cloony, Diane Schuur, Barry Manilow, Lee Ann Womack, Lou Rawls, Eric Marienthal, Kenny G., and David Benoit. Bergeron has worked on over 500 TV & motion picture soundtracks. A partial list of film credits includes Red Notice, Turning Red, Soul, Bob's Burgers, Ford vs. Ferrari, Toy Story 4, Frozen 1 & 2, The Lion King (2019), The Secret Life of Pets, Wreck it Ralph 2, Crazy Rich Asians, Sing 1&2, Moana, Frozen 1 & 2, Get On Up, Toy Story 3, Monsters University, High School Musical 3, Get Smart, Superman Returns, The Simpson's Movie, Dreamgirls, Hairspray, Mission Impossible 3, Ice Age 2, Spiderman 1 & 2, Team America and South Park. Bergeron's featured trumpet solos can be heard on the motion pictures West Side Story (2021 Steven Spielberg), La La Land, Sing, The Incredibles 1 & 2, Rocky Balboa, The Secret Life of Pets 2, Rough Night, Jazzman's Blues, Vacation Friends, Ted 2, Minions, Minions 2:The Rise of Gru, Spies in Disguise, Jersey Boys, The Green Hornet, The Interview, Despicable Me 1, 2 & 3, Duplicity, Princess & the Frog, The Perfect Game,, Hey Arnold (the movie), The Rat Pack, Child Star, Aladdin King of Thieves and High Crimes and  many others. Numerous TV credits include Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, SAG Awards, NBC, ESPN & TNT sports themes, American Idol (2001-02), Emmy Awards, Grammy Awards, Animaniacs Reboot, Family Guy, American Dad, Simpson's, Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse, The Cleveland Show, Green Eggs and Ham,  Jeopardy, America's Funniest Home Videos, Will and Grace, Phineas & Ferb, Emperor's New School, Mouse Works, Have a Laugh, House of Mouse, King of the Hill, Futurama, Buzz Lightyear, Hercules, and Hey Arnold. Bergeron's greatest love is playing lead in big bands. He has recorded and played with some of Los Angeles' most respected bands including Gordon Goodwin, Arturo Sandoval, Pat Williams, Sammy Nestico, Jack Sheldon, Chris Walden, Tom Kubis, John La Barbara, Bob Florence, Joey Sellers, Ray Anthony, Bill Watrous, Bob Curnow, and Quincy Jones. After being behind the scene for so many years, Bergeron stepped out on his own with his first solo effort, You Call This a Living?  This debut project earned him a Grammy nomination in 2004 for Best Large Jazz Ensemble, as well as rave reviews from fans and press worldwide. Bergeron's second CD, Plays Well With Others, released on the Concord Jazz label in 2007, was met with the same acclaim. Bergeron's most current (and personal favorite) CD, Full Circle, was released in January of 2016.  Bergeron performs various events for the Hollywood Bowl summer season. He has done guest appearances with the L.A. Philharmonic, The New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Dallas Symphony, Taiwan Symphony, and Tokyo Philharmonic. Bergeron is a National Artist for the Yamaha Corporation of America and is co-designer of the YTR-8335LA trumpet and YFH-8315G Flugelhorn. Bergeron also designed a series of trumpet mouthpieces with Gary Radtke of GR Technologies that are available through Bergeron's website. Bergeron was mentored by legends Uan Rasey, Bobby Shew, Warren Luening, Gary Grant, Rick Baptist, and George Graham. Bergeron hopes to inspire a new generation of young players and enjoys his work as a clinician and educator. “Nothing makes me feel more accomplished than hearing a young musician say that I inspired them or had a positive influence on their life. For me, that's the real payday.” Bergeron is currently on faculty at California State University Northridge. Perhaps Grammy winning composer and bandleader, Gordon Goodwin said it best, “Wayne is a once in a lifetime lead trumpet player.” About Jeff Bunnell Trumpeter Jeff Bunnell has enjoyed a successful career in many musically diverse settings.
