This classic album is tonight's Jazz Feature recorded 64 years ago on April 1, 1960 at Rudy Van Gelder's Studio for Prestige/New Jazz Records. It was Eric's first album under his name and leadership. Dolphy, who was from Los Angeles had moved to New York and after working in L.A. for many years came to New York as a member of drummer Chico Hamilton's Quintet. After leaving Hamilton and settling in the big city, Eric began working with Charles Mingus in early 1960 and recorded this album with his room mate, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. Eric wisely selected veteran drummer Roy Haynes and a strong bassist named George Tucker plus piano giant Jaki Byard who he met in the Mingus band. They formed a very cohesive band for this date and it sounds like a working band. The date is a classic and marked the real beginning of Eric's short but eventful career. His unique compositions are heard here as well as his alto saxophone, bass clarinet and flute. Eric sadly died at age 36 in Germany from undiagnosed diabetes. "Outward Bound" stands as a great early milestone to Eric's life and music. It's tonight's Jazz Feature.
We tend to think of the subjects of Deep Focus as conjurers, as master architects, as grand statesmen, as sonic sculptors, as Renaissance men and women. But what about when they're the guy down the street? Or the dad of your elementary school friend? How does that change the perspective? Cornetist Graham Haynes grew up down the block from the magnificent Jaki Byard, one of the all-time great pianist/arranger/educators and one of the most engaging characters ever on the bandstand. Stories? Graham's got stories! Join host Mitch Goldman on Deep Focus this Monday (March 3) from 6pm to 9pm NYC-time on WKCR 89.9FM. WKCR HD-1 and wkcr.org

Un brillante musicista, sassofonista e flautista, scomparso giovane in piena attività (nel 1986 a 49 anni) e oggi un po' dimenticato: Joe Farrell, nome d'arte di Joseph Carl Firrantello, lo ricordiamo anche ma non solo per la feconda collaborazione con Chick Corea, nei Return to Forever ma anche in altre formazioni del grande pianista.Ha lavorato nella prima parte di carriera con Mingus, Jaki Byard, Maynard Ferguson, Thad Jones. Ascoltato in seguito accanto a musicisti del calibro Elvin Jones, Aretha Franklin, George Benson, Lalo Schifrin e moltissimi altri, nonché richiesto sideman in ambito pop da star quali Santana, James Brown, Bee Gees. Nella sua sterminata discografia spiccano una quindicina di album a suo nome, molti dei quali pubblicati dalla CTI.

This week's show is a Deep Focus unlike any other. It's actually more like one of those sports movies in which The Kid gets to go into the championship game with his big league hero. The hero, in this case, is none other than Jaki Byard (the subject of Deep Focus episodes with both Graham Haynes and with Jason Moran and Alicia Hall Moran) and the part of The Kid is played by drummer Roy Weinberger. Jaki Byard booked a date at SUNY-Binghamton in 1981 and asked the students to provide half of a band for him to play with. The students didn't have to think too hard about whom to call; Roy and his brother, alto saxophonist Bob Weinberger, were pretty much the heaviest cats in town. Was being big fish in that little pond enough to get them through the raging river of a performance with Jaki Byard? Tune in to find out. We have documentary evidence! This one is truly fascinating. #WKCR #DeepFocus #MitchGoldman #JakiByard #RoyWeinberger #JazzRadio #JazzInterview #JazzPodcast Photo credit: Jaki Byard By Source, Fair use en.wikipedia.org-w-index.php-curid=50315026

DAVID WITHAM is a wonderful pianist, composer, producer, and arranger. We've worked together a bunch in my Trio Pianissimo, as well as Jeff Gauthier's Goatette. We cover Dave's musical history, his studies with Jaki Byard, his work with George Benson and Barbra Streisand, and his longtime involvement with Cryptogramophone Records, among lots of other cool stuff.
This week's episode is about the music of bassist Richard Davis. Davis came up in the Chicago jazz scene, and studied classical music intensively, and went on to play on some of the most interesting, progressive albums of the post bebop era in the 1960's. it features phenomenal performances from his time playing with Eric Dolphy, Andrew Hill, Jaki Byard and others.Questions?

The culture of jazz is clearly built around the music but the culture only exists because of enlightened cats who were reared in the presence of greatness. Artistic greatness and in a humanitarian sense as well. My guest is one of the cats I speak off. He took advantage of his early childhood connections and used his native gifts to help explain transcendent music. Music that was played By Bird and Wade Legge John Coltrane and my guests babysitter Papa Jo Jones. It's was an accessible community of artistic purists like Jaki Byard who could play a tune in all twelve keys and make his students do that on the piano until they fell apart. My guest has been a bridge to a new age. Conveying messages as a radio host and coming of age during the advent of free form radio, individual sound seekers and being surrounded by the original masters like Dizzy and Louie and The Duke. There's two types of music - good and bad and my guest has pontificated and promoted jazz. But what does that term really mean? Has a slang term become so intellectualized that it no longer swings? My guest has channelled that swing feel throughout his career as an impresario. Could have been the Basie band with John Heard or watching the real time fusing of Afro Bop with Machito and Latin music with Tito. The music survives today in part because of contributions of my guest who plays Charlie Parker records every morning on Columbia's WKCR @ Columbia University.

Jason Moran joins host Robin D.G. Kelley for a journey through Garner's album One World Concert. From his early days studying with Jaki Byard at the Manhattan School of Music, to his work on Geri Allen's tribute to Concert By The Sea, there are few artists in the world with a better understanding of Garner's unique artistry. On this special episode, Moran lays out a path for future Garner scholars to follow and steps behind the piano to unravel the complex harmony in one of Garner's previously unreleased introductions.

Don’t Give Me No Sugar Cubes When I started touring, Bill Cosby took over my room above the Gaslight. I was at The Village Gate opening up for Coleman Hawkins doing standup. Bob Dylan said, “You gotta come to the Gaslight.” He kicked Cosby out of the room to give it back to me. Cosby thought anytime I would offer him a drink it was filled with LSD. He was certain that everything that I touched turned into LSD. Who else thought that was Jose Feliciano. “Don’t give me no sugar cubes,” he used to say. The Golden Lion Once I got to New York, I established a gig at The Golden Lion in Hartford, Connecticut doing jazz and poetry. It was a hit; it was huge. Every Monday for years, Beatniks would line up around the block. I brought in people like Don Ellis, Jaki Byard, and Jimmy Giuffre. We got paid: that’s how I got these guys to come out. Every Monday was a payday. We would leave New York City and drive to Hartford and do it. I’m just a hippie poet in an altered space. “Space is the place,” said Sun Ra. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jake-feinberg/support

À son retour en France, il enseigne la littérature et poursuit sa formation musicale. En 1965, Malcolm X vient d'être assassiné. Coursil part pour les États-Unis où il restera dix ans. Il débarque à New York dans l'agitation des Civil Rights, l'avènement du free jazz, des happenings en art, des projets et des mouvements hippies. Pendant cette décennie, il va avoir l'occasion de côtoyer et de travailler avec les plus grands musiciens américains tant de la scène jazz que celle de la musique contemporaine. Il va devenir l'élève du pianiste Jaki Byard, et surtout celui du trompettiste Bill Dixon avec lequel il part finalement en tournée pour jouer en duo. Il étudie également l'harmonie et la composition sous la direction du compositeur Noel Da Costa, et participera avec lui à de nombreux concerts en musique contemporaine. À cette époque, sa technique instrumentale est très solide et son imagination fuse tous azimuts.Pendant ses années new-yorkaises dominées par la musique, la littérature, les arts et l'agitation politique, Jacques Coursil va découvrir quelque chose d'autre qui, selon lui, est tout aussi passionnant : la linguistique et la logique mathématique. Il va se détacher petit à petit de la scène musicale, enseigner de nouveau et retourner à l'université. Rentré en France, il décide de se consacrer à une carrière universitaire, ce qui l'amène à soutenir deux thèses, l'une en Lettres (1977) et l'autre en Sciences (1992). Il enseignera en alternance la littérature et la linguistique théorique, d'abord en France, puis en Martinique, aux États-Unis à l'Université de Cornell, et enfin à l'Université de Californie à Irvine. Ce cursus fait de lui une des voix les plus écoutées sur le corpus de Ferdinand de Saussure ou sur les théories générales de linguistique moderne, comme l'atteste la portée de ses articles et de son livre La Fonction Muette du Langage, paru chez Ibis Rouge en 2000.Durant cette époque d'activités littéraires et scientifiques, la pratique de la musique ressemble pour Jacques Coursil à une rivière souterraine (ou à un laboratoire d'alchimiste). Il travaille en secret le souffle continu, les articulations, les "coups de langue" sans relâche jusqu'à ce que cette trompette qu'il aime se mette à chanter, à danser et à parler : obsession de clarté et d'émotion du timbre. Il y a du Clark Terry, du Jimmy Owens, du Hugh Masekela dans cette démarche : sans doute, les trompettistes de jazz, Jacques Coursil les aime-t-il et les admire-t-il tous.[Universal] Son dernier album On A Trail Of Tears est sorti chez Universal. → Une interview de Jacques Coursil sur Rfimusique.

If you are looking for new ways to think about and hear this music, pay attention to what Jason Moran and Alicia Hall Moran are doing, both separately and together. Consider how Jason looks at the physical culture around the music's past and present, as he did in his show at the Whitney Museum last year; check out Alicia's take on her personal and family history in her theatrical stage shows; explore the topics that they engage with in their sweeping multi-disciplinary performances. Jason and Alicia came by the studio in March of last year in anticipation of their sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall, Two Wings. Their inspired (and inspiring) topics for Deep Focus? Jaki Byard for Jason and Nina Simone for Alicia. The WKCR archives yielded treasures for both, and Jason and Alicia's insights made the riches even more abundant. #DeepFocus #JasonMoran #AliciaHallMoran #JakiByard #NinaSimone #MitchGoldman #Jazz #JazzRadio #JazzInterview #JazzPodcast

For quite some time half a century ago only two schools in this country had jazz programs. One was N. Texas State and the other was the Berkeley School of Music in Boston. My guest today is one of the earliest alumni's of a school that has produced the likes of Alan Broadbent, Ernie Watts, Gene Perla and Dick Berk and TOSHIKO Akiyoshi. When my guest went there it was a brotherhood of 300 men and woman who studied under the masters like Herb Pomeroy, Ray Santizzi, Alan Dawson and Jaki Byard and had opportunities to play live and get loose at venues like The Jazz Workshop, Lennie's on the Turnpike and Latin Salsa Dance Halls. In fact even if you didn't go to Berklee you could still sit in on lectures and jams. My guest today is a guitar player who is prolific in melodic sequencing and ferocious output. He plays the electric guitar, mandolin and piano strumming his way to sublimation with Jack Dejohnette, Billy Cobham, Colin Walcott and George Marsh, Joe Beck, Tom Knific, Dave Holland Jan Hammer and Johnny Hammond Smith. He plays music without regard to barriers. His generation makes music that feels good because they understand the balance between mathematics and soul. They also played live for weeks at a time at the same venue performing complex Gil Evans tunes developing their own sound and individuality that created their identities. Still blazing new trails with his axe, JAbercrombie --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jake-feinberg/support
La sua attività di produttore è stata amplissima e variegata: lavorò fra gli altri con Lou Reed e Marianne Faithful, e nelle prima metà degli ottanta fu coordinatore musicale del popolarissimo programma televisivo Saturday Night Live. Ma la fama internazionale di Hal Willner - mancato il 7 aprile scorso per complicazioni da coronavirus - è legata in particolare ad alcuni memorabili album-tributo che Willner allesti' a partire dal principio degli ottanta. All'epoca la compresenza in uno stesso album di artisti appartenenti ad ambiti musicali diversi era tutt'altro che scontata. Nell'81 Willner, venticinquenne, realizzò Amarcord Nino Rota, un omaggio all'autore delle musiche dei film di Fellini: la genialità di Willner stava tanto nell'assortimento di musicisti coinvolti, quanto nella sorpresa che riusciva ad ingenerare nell'ascoltatore proponendogli la musica del grande compositore rivisitata da artisti la cui associazione col mondo musicale di Rota e dei film di Fellini era in molti casi tutt'altro che ovvia: chi si sarebbe aspettato di trovare Rota interpretato da Deborah Harry, la cantante dei Blondie, figura di culto della new wave anni settanta, e da Muhal Richard Abrams, guru dell'avanguardia chicagoana? Oltre a loro Jaki Byard, Bill Frisell, Carla Bley (in uno strepitoso Otto e mezzo), e Steve Lacy (in un magico Roma in solo al soprano).

In honor of Black History Month, we are taking a look into the career highlights of African American artists and their contribution to the world of jazz and blues. Dick Stein tells the story of an impromptu performance critique by piano master Jaki Byard for a hopeless – and hapless – would be clarinetist.

Des clubs de New York où se fabriquait le free jazz dans les années 60 à sa découverte du poète haïtien Frank Etienne, Jacques Coursil égraine ses carnets de voyage. Son itinéraire nous fait croiser les routes de Jaki Byard, Bill Dixon ou Leonard Bernstein. Enregistrant dès 1966 en side man pour le label ESP aux côtés de Sunny Murray ou Frank Wright, il publiera ensuite deux albums dans la légendaire série « byg actuel » avec Arthur Jones, Burton Greene ou Anthony Braxton avant qu’une carrière universitaire ne l’éloigne des studios pendant près de 25 ans. IL fait son grand retour en 2005 sollicité par John Zorn et a enregistré depuis deux albums à la dimension poétique et historique ainsi qu’un duo avec Alan Silva. De passage à Paris où il peaufine un projet autour de l’oeuvre de Frank Etienne, Jacques Coursil, conteur de génie, s’est arrêté dans nos studios et avec lui nous avons construit ce documentaire qui sonne comme un véritable film audio. En seconde heure, nous allons à la découverte du superbe trio polonais RGG qui a récemment croisé le fer avec Trevor Watts et Evan Parker. On s’intéresse aussi au dernier album de James Brandon Lewis, saxophoniste très en vue actuellement. Un trio insolite a aussi retenu notre attention : Michael Bisio, Kirk Knuffke et Fred Lonberg-Holm et enfin nous terminons par deux rééditions aussi indispensables l’une que l’autre: l’un des premiers disques du batteur finlandais Edward Vesala et le fameux « Nova » de Steve Reid.

This was the startling debut recording by Eric Dolphy. It was his first under his name. Today is the 59th anniversary of the date as it was recorded on April 1,1960. Eric was from L.A. and had settled in New York and was soon playing a variety of gigs and had joined Charles Mingus' Jazz Workshop. Prestige (New Jazz) was on the search for new talent at this time and Eric was introduced to the label and given carte blanche to pick a band and record, This album was the result. Eric was a virtuoso and a fearless improviser on all his horns, the alto saxophone, the bass clarinet and the flute. Eric picked his room mate of the time, a young Freddie Hubbard to share the front line with him. Jaki Byard was on piano and newly arrived from Boston and his concept adds greatly to this album's success. George Tucker on bass was recommended to Eric by Mingus and on drums was none other than a perennial favorite, "Mr. Snap-Crackle"....Roy Haynes. Four of the six tunes are by Eric and they show his compositional talent. Eric's version of "On Green Dolphin Street" features his bass clarinet and the ballad, the obscure "Glad To Be Unhappy" spotlights his flute. As an added treat a short blues with Eric on flute and the rhythm section is added. It was never issued on the original CD and the vinyl. All in all a major debut for an artist whose life and creativity was cut short by illness at age 36. There will never be another Eric Dolphy. Outward Bound tonight!
In today's "Culture Watch," Richard Duckett and Craig Semon recap this year's Oscar Awards, and Richard and Victor Infante discuss Worcester jazz legend Jaki Byard, who is the subject of a recent book by Worcester musician Chet Williamson. Also, Craig outlines the hottest concerts in the region this month, and we play a little music by the Curtis Mayflower.
Johannes Enders ist ein deutscher Saxofonist, Komponist, Produzent und Lehrer. Seit 2009 hat er eine Professur für Jazz-Saxofon an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy inne. Seine Karriere verlief steil, rasant und international. Sein Weg führte ihn über Musikstudien in München und Graz nach New York, in die Hauptstadt des Jazz, um dort zu studieren und mit Größen wie Chris Potter, Jaki Byard, Roy Hargrove, Jeff Tain Watts und unzähligen weiteren Spitzenmusikern zu spielen. Schließlich setzt er sich auch dort schnell durch und gewinnt die Silbertrophäe beim "American Music-Fest" in San Francisco (1990) und ist Finalist im legendären Thelonious Monk-Saxofon-Wettbewerb 1991, wo er neben Joshua Redman, Chris Potter und Eric Alexander spielte. Zurück in Deutschland etabliert er sich als eine der wichtigsten Jazzsaxofonisten Europas und wird beim Label ENJA unter Vertrag genommen.

Gordon moved to New York in 1954 and worked and recorded with Art Blakey and joined Dizzy Gillespie's big band and toured the Middle East and recorded with Dizzy. He also played with pianist Horace Silver then seemed to disappear. He emerged in L.A. in 1959 and became first call Jazz trumpeter and worked with Harold Land, Wes Montgomery and recorded with Thelonious Monk. Joe's real fame came when he joined drummer Shelly Mann'e Quintet and toured Europe and recorded many albums. Shelly's Quintet was one of the great groups in Jazz history. Tonight's album was done in 1961 and was only Joe's second under his name however it not only featured his crackling and fiery trumpet but 8 of his compositions He appears here with alto saxophonist Jimmy Woods making his recording debut. Dick Whittington is on piano, Jimmy Bond on bass and the swingin' Milt Turner on drums. "Lookin' Good!" was Joe's last recording as he died in a house fire in November of 1963 at age 35. Check out Joe Gordon tonight, you'll be glad you did!
This week's episode of WNPM is about Jaki Byard, a pianist who played in some of Charles Mingus' most creatively dense groups in the early 60s before launching his own career as a bandleader. He was an incredibly versatile and eclectic stylist, and recorded dozens of albums as a leader and sideman.

The A-Z of Jazz Piano: this time - Pianists in the key of B The task of hunting down jazz piano from A to Z is really only just beginning, but B proved to be a most rich seam of artists, and the The Hot Box #9 show may be remarkable for who we had to leave out as much as for those we included. Hear The Bad Plus (yes, yes a bit of a B cheat) and Count Basie, Kenny Barron, Ray Bryant, Jaki Byard and Dave Brubeck amongst an hour long feast of pianists filed under the letter B. And of course, a celebration of the fine pianist from Dublin, Cian Boylan. The Hot Box is released on www.jazzireland.ie every 2 weeks and can be heard on-line around the world.

President and Founder, Gary Upton Birkhamshaw were playing and discussing the various instruments Upton Bass had created for the convention. They started with a blank sheet of paper, and together began jotting down Lynn’s preferences and suggestion with each model. The result was a rough outline of what would become the UB Bostonian Concert Double Bass.

Tom Reney offers an appreciation of piano legend Jaki Byard in this edition of Jazz Beat. Byard’s 95th birthday anniversary was June 22, and his legacy thrives both on records and through his well-known protégés Jason Moran, Larry Goldings, Marty Ehrlich, and Fred Hersch. Tom’s tribute includes personal recollections, details of Byard’s background in Worcester and Boston, and several musical samples.
This album is one of bassist/pianist/composer Charles Mingus' great musical triumphs. Mr. Mingus was finally able to put out a recording of all original music and had full control of the production. The cover, the notes, the editing and post-production and of course the music. It was everything he wanted and this album is arguably one of his very best. He was able to get this band into shape via a long engagement at New York's Village Vanguard. The music is a suite of basically four movements. The band consists of 12 pieces and the chief soloists are Jerome Richardson on baritone and soprano saxophones, Quentin "Butter" Jackson on trombone, Charlie Mariano on alto saxophone, Jaki Byard on piano Jay Berliner on guitar and Mingus on bass and piano. The music is dense and powerful and runs an incredible gamut of emotions from pristine beauty to angry chaos. As I stated this is one of Mr. Mingus' triumphs.......The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady.
One is the loneliest number, but two is awesome. It's time for another show about duets, something Mike will never have with Joanna Newsom, because - well, stay tuned to find out. Charlie Haden – THE GOLDEN NUMBER; Jaki Byard/Tommy Flanagan – THE MAGIC OF TWO; Don Cherry / Ed Blackwell – EL CORAZON; Irene Schweizer / Han Bennink - IRENE SCHWEIZER & HAN BENNINK
Two great musicians here that were frequent musical partners on what was their last recorded appearance. It is also a fine way to celebrate the Birthday of pianist extraordinaire, Jaki Byard. Jaki would have been 93 today (June 15). Sadly he left us in 1999 the victim of a shooting. This great album also features the legendary Rahsaan Roland Kirk on a variety of horns, the tenor saxophone, the manzello (a straight alto saxophone), the clarinet and some small instruments. These two met when they were with Mingus in 1961 and formed a musical friendship. Two great surrealists of music. The album has Byard and Kirk backed by the great Richard Davis on bass and Alan Dawson on drums.The Jaki Byard Experience indeed! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. Byard.
Jaki Byard was an American jazz multi-instrumentalist and composer who collaborated with many artists, significantly Charles Mingus. He incorporated a range of styles in his approach, from ragtime to bebop, and swing to stride. He spanned years of musical tradition, bringing history into one moment–an eternal now.

Tonight The Jazz Show honours and celebrates the 91st Birthday of one of American's most individual and iconic geniuses of this music referred to as Jazz....the one and only Charles Mingus. Mingus was a wonderful pianist and a virtuoso bassist but one of this music's greatest composers. He ranks with Ellington and Monk at creating a huge body of work. Today Mingus' compositions are played by the Mingus Big Band and his legacy is in the hands of his widow, Susan Mingus. This album was recorded in early 1963 with an 11 piece orchestra that had played two long engagements at Bird and The Village Vanguard in New York. The music was the first album in Mingus' new contract with Impulse Records and the label spared no expense catering to Mingus' wishes in the production and most importantly in the post-production. Mingus had full control as to his musical vision and this album was one, at the time that Mingus felt was his best to date. It is a suite of 3 movements with the long 4th being an amalgam of the first three. It's called "The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady" and has some outstanding solos by Jerome richardson on soprano and baritone saxophone, Mingus on bass and piano, Jaki Byard on piano but most importantly Charlie Mariano on alto saxophone. Mariano tears and cries out with unbridled passion with some of his best playing ever. This is a challenging and dense work worthy of listening to and re-listening.Happy Birthday Charles Mingus!
A startling debut recording by a musician whose short life was musically very well documented. Born in Los Angeles but upon moving to New York in mid-1959 and leaving his employer, drummer Chico Hamilton, Eric joined Charles Mingus' bubbling cauldron of musical creativity, The Jazz Workshop. Through his membership in the Mingus organization, Eric was signed by Prestige (New Jazz) Records and made his debut record on April 1, 1960. To celebrate it's 53 anniversary, we hear it tonight. Eric is heard on alto saxophone, bass clarinet and flute and composed 4 of the 7 tunes on the set. His cohorts are the up and coming young trumpet player and Eric's roommate Freddie Hubbard. Boston's Jaki Byard is on piano and George Tucker (who studied with Mingus) on bass and the redoubtable Roy Haynes ("Mr. Snap-Crackle) on drums. Eric's debut is a fine document and signaled the beginning of a great career. Dolphy only lived until age 36, he died of undetected diabetes in Berlin on June 29, 1964."Outward Bound" was his real beginning.
One of the most unique and interesting musicians to ever visit our humble planet.Kirk began perfecting his mastery over three saxophones played at once, a concept that came to him in a dream. Kirk was sightless from a very young age so he lived in a world of sound.He played the tenor saxophone (his main horn) and the manzello (a soprano saxophone) and the stritch (an elongated alto saxophone) plus the flute and other instruments attached to his upper body. He was amazing sight to watch. At first he was dismissed as a gimmick but fans and critics soon found out that he was a major player.After moving to New York he was immediately signed to Mercury Records and recorded prolifically.He finished his career for Atlantic Records. He died at 42 of a stroke in 1977. Of all the albums that he made, this one called "Rip,Rig and Panic" stands as his masterpiece and we present it tonight as the Jazz Feature.Kirk performs with an all-star band that included the great Elvin Jones on drums, the wonderful Jaki Byard on piano and virtuoso Richard Davis on bass. Five originals by Kirk plus a great old standard called "Once In A While" and an original by Montreal pianist Milton Sealy called "Black Diamond" Kirk said this album is his concept of "expressing freedom" and it does.
Multi-instrumentalist, Eric Dolphy's recording debut under his own name was a startling reminder of some of the changes that were taking place in Jazz in the late 50's and early 60's. Eric Dolphy seemed to come out of nowhere and in his short life was like a comet that streaked across the Jazz horizon. Eric was born in Los Angeles on June 20,1928 and died as a result of diabetes in Berlin on June 29,1964 at 36. Although he played other instruments his main voices were the alto saxophone, the flute and the bass clarinet. He had an individual concept on all his horns but his concept was always unmistakably Eric Dolphy. "Outward Bound" was Dolphy's debut record and he picked a great band. 22 year old Freddie Hubbard shares the front line with Eric and pianist Jaki Byard makes a strong impression. The rhythm section with big-toned bassist George Tucker and the redoubtable Roy Haynes on drums provides the pulse. Dolphy's original compositions are unique and the whole album, although rooted in tradition points the way to the future of Jazz in a positive way. This album is one of the most impressive debuts in Modern Jazz history.

This was one of the most amazing bands that bassist/composer/innovator Charles Ningus ever led. The band consisted of Johnny Coles("Little Johnny 'C'')on trumpet, Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone, flute and bass clarinet, Clifford Jordan on tenor saxophone, Jaki Byard, piano and Dannie Richmond on drums. This concert recorded by The Student Society at Cornell has just been newly discovered and issued as a double CD on Blue Note. The music reflects Mingus in a positive and optimistic space and yet as always covers the many moods of Mingus from joy to anger. A monumental discovery!!!
Jason Crane interviews pianist Jason Moran at the 2007 Rochester International Jazz Festival. Moran came to play with two bands -- his own Bandwagon and Don Byron's Ivey Divey trio. Moran's most recent CD is Artist In Residence (Blue Note, 2006), an album composed mostly of Moran's commissioned works. Moran talks about philosopher Adrian Piper, pianist Jaki Byard, and his new commission to create a multimedia piece inspired by Thelonious Monk's 1959 Town Hall concert.
