<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Song is Blues in Hoss Flat by the Count Basie Orchestra. This is the same version as the movie, except in STEREO-some remixing for instrument clarity and separation. It is from the 1958 "Chairman of The Board" album, and "The Errand Boy" is from 1961. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px;">CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Although it appeared at a time when <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Count Basie</span> was enjoying respect from all quarters (as evidenced by the pop acclaim of several Grammy awards and the jazz faithful's enthusiasm for his concert at Newport), <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Chairman of the Board</span> was, comparatively, a low-profile session. The record was surrounded in <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Basie</span>'s discography by several prize-winners and a parade of studio collaborations -- with vocalists <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Tony Bennett</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Lambert, Hendricks & Ross</span>, and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Billy Eckstine</span>, plus arranger <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Neal Hefti</span>. This 1958 date for Roulette was a rare chance for the orchestra to perform on its own, and listeners to hear how powerful the band could be when its concentration was undiverted. Of course, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Basie</span>'s band already possessed three fine arrangers (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Frank Foster</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Thad Jones</span>, and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Frank Wess</span>) and at least a dozen solo voices. Each of the ten songs on <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Chairman of the Board</span> were originals by <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Foster</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Jones</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Wess</span>, or<span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Ernie Wilkins</span>, all of them arranged by the composer. The record is admittedly heavy on the blues, but it's a brassy, powerful vision of the blues; <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Foster</span>'s "Blues in Hoss' Flat" and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Wilkins</span>' "Kansas City Shout" take the band back to its hometown, beginning with a subtle swing but ending with a raucous display of power from each section. The contributions by <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Jones</span> and<span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Wess</span> provide a necessary complement to that forceful swing. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Jones</span>' "Speaking of Sounds" employs the woodwinds to provide color and texture, while <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Wess</span>' "Segue in C" relies on bassist <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Eddie Jones</span> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Basie</span>'s piano to lead the band while <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Wess</span> himself takes several choruses on alto sax. A dynamic date, it shows the "new testament" edition of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Basie</span>'s orchestra in top form.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">A very talented tenor saxophonist and arranger, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/frank-foster-p77044" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Frank Foster</a> was associated with <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-count-basie-orchestra-p6072" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">the Count Basie Orchestra</a> off and on from 1953 to 1995. Early on, he played in Detroit with many talented local players and, after a period in the Army (1951-1953), he joined <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/basie-p6072" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Basie</a>'s big band. Well featured on tenor during his <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/basie-p6072" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Basie</a> years (1953-1964),<a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/foster-p77044" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Foster</a> also contributed plenty of arrangements and such originals as "Down for the Count," "Blues Backstage," and the standard "Shiny Stockings." In the latter half of the 1960s, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/foster-p77044" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Foster</a> was a freelance writer. In addition to playing with <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/elvin-jones-p6844" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Elvin Jones</a> (1970-1972) and occasionally with <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-thad-jonesmel-lewis-orchestra-p732828" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra</a>, he led his<a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/loud-minority-p2005947" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Loud Minority</a> big band.

Although influenced by <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/john-coltrane-p65851" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">John Coltrane</a> in his playing, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/foster-p77044" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Foster</a> was able to modify his style when he took over the <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/count-basie-p6072" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Count Basie</a> ghost band in 1986, revitalizing it and staying at the helm until 1995.

HARD CHOICES Saturdays 11am-1pm KMHD 89.1FM kmhd.org -Shawn KI remember the day Leroy Vinnegar died. I was watching one of Portland's local news channels and even though I knew he was not well, it still struck me with great sadness. I have many Leroy Vinnegar stories and I imagine you do too. Here are some of my memories and some from the public record on the life of Leroy Vinnegar.<br />

<b>ADJUSTING THE ENDPIN ON HIS BASS</b><br />
I was emceeing a show with Mr. Vinnegar. The room was electric, musicians were on stage, instruments were out of their cases and all were checking their sound, positioning, and information (especially in my case). Leroy was on stage and he was a significant presence, with his great stature and that of the great bass instrument he moved so gracefully with. Mr. Vinnegar called to me and asked me to adjust the endpin on his bass. I was 36 years old or so, and was in awe of this legend. This isn't by any measure, the first conversation I'd had with Leroy, but they never became common. I knew I was talking with a pillar of the music I loved and I knew too, how much I could learn, so I jumped at ANY opportunity. He lifted the bass off the ground and I got down low and began groping around to find the mechanism that adjusted the endpin. Was it a screw or slide?- I had never done that before, which began to become apparent. The bass was getting heavy and Mr. Vinnegar was very patient. Some excruciating moments went by as I felt around, without success. Saving me, another musician in the band saw this, came over, bent down, loosed the nut allowing the endpin to drop to the ground, then tightened it in a matter of seconds. It was done. I apologized, we all smiled, me with embarrassment and those around me, at my embarrassment.<br />

<br />
<b>TEDDY EDWARDS IS IMPORTANT</b><br />
I emceed a series of programs in the 90's called "Jazz Night Live." They were weekly affairs at the Red Lion Hotel, 310 SW Lincoln here in Portland. They were produced by a gentleman we affectionately called (as he requested), "The Captain." His name was actually Craig Stringer. The room was an event of enthusiastic audience and great musicians. As I introduced the band, I said a little about each member. I had about 5 sentences prepared for Mr. Vinnegar who was that evening's bassist. After my first sentence about his history, he called out, "and Teddy Edwards." With each sentence pause, another call from Mr. Vinnegar, or then from a band member, would come, helping to get me the message, that Teddy Edwards was very important. He had recruited the band with his calls and they followed their leader that night and had his back with vigor and humor. It was as if Teddy Edwards was in the room with us.<br />

by Richard S. Ginell<br />
The owner of a swinging "walking bass" manner, comfortable in several idioms but not a prolific soloist, Leroy Vinnegar had a couple of heydays -- in the '50s and '60s as a busy freelance recording sideman, and as a member of Les McCann's most popular combo in 1969. As such, he played a major role in two of jazz's biggest hit albums, the trend-setting My Fair Lady set with Andre Previn and Shelly Manne (1956) and the Eddie Harris/Les McCann soul-jazz manifesto Swiss Movement (1969). <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U6paYEbU1eM/TlhQ0R3q22I/AAAAAAAATAU/ONkKwAGbfug/s1600/imgres-1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="394" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U6paYEbU1eM/TlhQ0R3q22I/AAAAAAAATAU/ONkKwAGbfug/s400/imgres-1.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
A completely self-taught musician, Vinnegar "fooled around" with the piano but gravitated toward the bass upon his first encounter. After turning pro at 20, he was the house bassist at Chicago's Beehive in 1952-1953. Upon moving to Los Angeles in 1954, Vinnegar quickly settled in as the bass player of<br />
choice on records by Stan Getz, Shorty Rogers, Chet Baker, Shelly Manne, and Serge Chaloff, among others. He also started recording as a leader in 1957, reeling off a pair of albums for Contemporary with the word "walks" appropriately inserted in each title. Starting in 1959, Vinnegar would work and tour frequently with Joe Castro and Teddy Edwards while continuing his freelance activities. In the early '80s, he appeared on television as a member of the Dixieland-styled Panama Hats behind actor/banjoist George Segal. Although a bout of ill health caused him to move to Portland in the late '80s, Vinnegar remained an active player into the '90s, and he returned to the recording scene as a leader in 1992 (on Contemporary again) with a CD entitled -- what else? -- Walkin' the Basses. Vinnegar died of cardiac arrest in August 1999, a loss to the jazz world and a particular blow to the Portland jazz community.<br />

He worked early on with the Sabby Lewis big band, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Frankie Newton</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Luis Russell</span> (1945-1947), and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Lester Young</span> (1947-1949). After some engagements with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Kai Winding</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Haynes</span> was a member of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">the Charlie Parker Quintet</span> (1949-1952); he also recorded during this era with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Bud Powell</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Wardell Gray</span>, and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Stan Getz</span>. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Haynes</span> toured the world with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Sarah Vaughan</span>(1953-1958); played with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Thelonious Monk</span> in 1958; led his own group; and gigged with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">George Shearing</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Lennie Tristano</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Eric Dolphy</span>, and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Getz</span> (1961). He was <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Elvin Jones</span>' occasional substitute with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">John Coltrane</span>'s classic quartet during 1961-1965, toured with<span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Getz</span> (1965-1967), and was with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Gary Burton</span> (1967-1968). In addition to touring with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Chick Corea</span> (1981 and 1984) and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Pat Metheny</span> (1989-1990), <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Haynes</span> has led his own Hip Ensemble on and off during the past several decades. When one considers that he has also gigged with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Miles Davis</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Art Pepper</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Horace Tapscott</span>, and </span></span></div><a name='more'></a><div style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Dizzy Gillespie</span>, it is fair to say that <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Haynes</span> has played with about everyone. He led dates for EmArcy and Swing (both in 1954), New Jazz (1958 and 1960), Impulse (a 1962 quartet album with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Roland Kirk</span>), Pacific Jazz, Mainstream, Galaxy, Dreyfus, Evidence, and Storyville. In 1994, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Haynes</span> was awarded the Danish Jazzpar prize, and two years later, he received the prestigious French Chevalier des l'Ordres Artes et des Lettres. In the late '90s, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Haynes</span> formed a trio with pianist <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Danilo Perez</span> and bassist <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">John Pattitucci</span>, and they released their debut album, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">The Roy Haynes Trio Featuring Danilo Perez & John Pattitucci</span>, in early 2000 on Verve. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Haynes</span>' son <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Graham</span>is an excellent cornetist. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Haynes</span> paid tribute to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Charlie Parker</span> in 2001 with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Birds of a Feather</span>, his fourth release for the Dreyfus Jazz label, which was subsequently nominated for a Grammy in 2002;<span class="Apple-style-span" style="cursor: pointer;">Fountain of Youth</span> followed two years later.

At the height of his career, Norman Granz was one of the most powerful non-musicians in jazz. He always fought for the music he believed in (having a love for freewheeling jam sessions), for his artists (whom he accurately considered to be among the greatest in the world) and against racism, forcing many hotels and concert venues to become integrated in the 1940s and '50s. He studied at UCLA, served in the Army, and then in, 1944, began to make an impact on jazz. Granz supervised the award-winning film short Jammin' the Blues (which featured Lester Young) and put on a concert at the Philharmonic Auditorium in Los Angeles that he dubbed Jazz at the Philharmonic. The latter was such a big success that soon Granz was able to take the all-star jam sessions on domestic and eventually worldwide tours. The producer loved to team together top artists from the bop and swing worlds in "battles" and, although these rousing concerts were often criticized by conservative and somewhat humorless jazz critics, the jams resulted in a great deal of rewarding music. Not content with merely presenting concerts, Granz often recorded the performances even though, at 10-15 minutes, they were too long for a conventional three-minute 78. Granz founded Clef (1946) and Norgran (1953), eventually consolidating his music when he founded Verve in 1956. The rise of the LP in the early '50s was perfect timing, and Granz was able to release many JATP performances on records. <br />

<br />
In addition to his work as a record company head and a concert promoter, Granz managed Ella Fitzgerald, and in 1956, he largely started Verve as a label to feature her recordings. Among the many other artists who prospered in the '50s due to Granz were Oscar Peterson (whom he discovered and managed), Lester Young, Roy Eldridge, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Tatum, Count Basie, and Ben Webster. By the late '50s JATP was drastically slowing down, and in 1960, Granz sold Verve to MGM. He functioned mostly as a concert promoter and the manager of Fitzgerald and Peterson in the '60s, but in 1973, he returned full-force to the record business, founding the very successful Pablo label. Many of Granz's favorite artists had had erratic recording careers in the '60s (including Ella, Basie, Roy Eldridge, and Dizzy Gillespie) but the rise of Pablo resulted in their discographies being uplifted and greatly expanded. Granz extensively recorded his artists (including Joe Pass who soon found fame, Zoot Sims, Sarah Vaughan, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, and especially Oscar Peterson), emphasizing the spontaneity of jam sessions. The number of Pablo releases slowed down during the '80s and in 1987, Granz sold the label to Fantasy where most of his sessions were eventually reissued on CD. Norman Granz retired to Switzerland, having greatly helped the music he loves. He died in Geneva from complications of cancer on November 22, 2001.<br />

BIOGRAPHY- Billy Higgins<br />
by Jason Ankeny<br />
As a member of the groundbreaking Ornette Coleman-led quartet that launched the free jazz renaissance, Billy Higgins remains one of the most important and controversial drummers in music history. An uncommonly versatile and intuitive player, his nimble rhythmic patterns achieved a perfect balance between function and form, inspiring the great trumpeter Lee Morgan to remark "[Higgins] never overplays, but you always know he's there." Born October 11, 1936, in Los Angeles, Higgins began his career playing R&B, supporting headliners including Bo Diddley, Amos Milburn, and Jimmy Witherspoon. In 1953 he joined high school friend and trumpeter Don Cherry in the Jazz Messiahs, a group also featuring saxophonist James Clay; three years later, he began his session career, in the months to follow appearing on recording dates led by saxophonist Lucky Thompson and bassist Red Mitchell. Around this time, Higgins and Cherry met Coleman through mutual friend Clay. A virtual unknown, the Texas-born saxophonist was supporting himself with menial jobs while working diligently to hone a musical lexicon liberated from the restraints of conventional harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic structures. Both Higgins and Cherry soon joined Coleman's rehearsal group, which spent years woodshedding before finally securing its first live gigs in 1958, opening for Paul Bley at L.A.'s Hilcrest Club. Audiences were either angered or simply baffled by Coleman's radical sensibility, which he later dubbed "harmolodics," and with the 1958 release of his debut LP, Something Else!!!! The Music of Ornette Coleman, the controversy spread throughout the jazz populace, dividing musicians, critics, and fans alike. <br />

<br />
Higgins followed Coleman when he relocated the group to New York City in 1959 to begin a residency at the Five Spot Café. Love it or hate it, their music was the talk of the town, and with the addition of new bassist Charlie Haden, Coleman finally began to make concrete the sounds and structures he'd pursued for years. His 1959 Atlantic Records debut, The Shape of Jazz to Come, remains a watershed album by any definition and a schism-creating turning point in the history of the avant-garde. The accolades now heaped on Coleman also launched his collaborators to prominence, and Higgins soon emerged as one of the most sought-after drummers in contemporary jazz, proving a master of both the hard bop sensibility still dominant throughout the jazz community as well as the more fluid and abstract approach of the new generation. When a 1961 drug bust stripped Higgins of his cabaret card, prompting his exit from Coleman's band, he focused on studio work, becoming the unofficial house drummer at Blue Note Records during the label's creative zenith. In the decade to come, Higgins appeared on seminal dates including Dexter Gordon's Go!, Jackie McLean's A Fickle Sonance, and Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder, proving time and again his consummate skill and flexibility; even after Liberty Records acquired Blue Note in 1967, he remained much in-demand, maintaining his position as the premier drummer of the avant-garde with contributions to landmark efforts including Archie Shepp's 1971 LP Attica Blues and Coleman's comeback effort, Science Fiction. Higgins was also a frequent collaborator of pianist Cedar Walton, and with bassist Bill Lee and trumpeter Bill Hardman led the big-band ensemble the Brass Company for several years during the early '70s. <br />
<br />
After close to two decades on tour and in New York, Higgins settled back in Los Angeles in 1978. The following year he recorded his first-ever session as a leader, the Red label LP Soweto. Higgins recorded a few more headlining sessions in the years to follow but seemed to value most his role as a sideman, supporting saxophonist Joe Henderson and trombonist Slide Hampton during the first half of the 1980s. After appearing behind star and longtime collaborator Dexter Gordon in filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier's 1986 love letter to jazz, 'Round Midnight, Higgins reunited with Coleman, Cherry, and Haden for a 1987 tour that culminated in a new studio album, In All Languages. The following year Higgins teamed with poet Kamau Daaood to found the World Stage, a storefront enclave that hosted creative workshops, community activities, and live performances. He regularly tapped his extensive professional network to lure many of the biggest names in jazz to the World Stage site both as performers and as tutors, and ultimately Higgins turned his attention to teaching in a formal setting as well, serving on the jazz faculty at UCLA. Higgins spent much of the remainder of his life battling liver disease, a manifestation of the hepatitis he contracted decades earlier. In March 1996, he underwent a liver transplant and when his body rejected the new organ, he was forced to submit to a second procedure just 24 hours later. Higgins nevertheless returned to music a few months later, traveling to New York to renew his collaboration with Coleman. However, by 2001 his new liver began to fail, and while waiting to find a donor, he succumbed to pneumonia on May 3. Higgins was just 64 years old at the time of his death.LincolnLabPortlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17941615214786106215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2797912162199521757.post-72279380103039885492011-07-23T08:03:00.000-07:002011-07-23T08:54:13.118-07:00DRUMMER SUMMER Pt 3: HUMOROUS.

Born: June 25, 1942 Instrument: Drums<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3f65cUDEdQs/TgPX-o952fI/AAAAAAAASoA/sYCNSQQn2eU/s1600/joechambers_horacetothemax_jk.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3f65cUDEdQs/TgPX-o952fI/AAAAAAAASoA/sYCNSQQn2eU/s200/joechambers_horacetothemax_jk.jpeg" width="200" /></a></div>Born and raised near Philadelphia to a musical family, Joe Chambers heard not only the rock and roll of Louis Jordan and Slim Gaillard, but the classical of Vivaldi, Wagner, Beethoven and Mahler. Drums came early. “I think an instrument picks you.<br />
<a name='more'></a>I used to play on post and pans when I was little. I was setting them up like a kit at four years of age, so the instincts were there.”<br />
More taken with Lester Young and Lionel Hampton than Little Richard, Chambers nonetheless soon joined a band playing all the R&B hits of the day. “We played 'house rock,' horn players walking the bar like Big Jay McNeely and Tiny Bradshaw. But then I started hearing esoteric jazz like Miles Davis, and that grabbed me. When I heard that at age 13, immediately I was hooked.”<br />
<br />
Chambers' parents also played a big role in his musical vision, and prompted him to learn more. “The level of music that they listened to compared to today was just incredible, in terms of popular culture. Bebop is the most revolutionary period in American music. I call it the era when drummers freed themselves, from Jo Jones to Kenny Clarke to Max Roach.<br />
<br />
Preachers used to preach against jazz. Then the people stopped dancing, killing the big bands. Bebop moved jazz from folkoric to a more cult-oriented and intellectual sound. That's why R&B came in. There was a need for more proletarian music. Bebop became cult music. It was a revolutionary time. I witnessed all of that.”<br />
<br />
Earning his undergrad degree in music from the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music, by age twenty-two Chambers had cut his first session with Freddie Hubbard's Breaking Point album. The snowball began , from the aforementioned recording sessions to road work with Harold Land, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Eric Dolphy, and Dizzy Gillespie.<br />
<br />
A member of the '60s fraternity that recorded some of Blue Note's greatest music, Joe Chambers can lay claim to<br />
<br />
a place alongside such innovative artists as Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner and Bobby Hutcherson. Chambers' intense drumming, a trademark blend of cymbal-driven forward motion, deep rhythmic continuity, and explosive creativity, graced many landmark albums which fostered one of the most fertile eras in recent jazz memory. Chambers' credits include Hubbard's Breaking Point, Hutcherson's Components, Shorter's Schizophrenia and Etcetra, Hill's Compulsion, and Tyner's Tender Moments, as well as Archie Shepp's New Thing at Newport, Charles Mingus' Like a Bird, and Chick Corea's Tones for Joan's Bones and many others.<br />
<br />
Chambers' legacy is not only as drummer extraordinaire. A conservatory trained musician, Chambers' compositions have been covered by Hutcherson, Hubbard, and M'Boom. More recently, folowing a handful of fine solo recordings, Chambers scored soundtracks for several Spike Lee films, including Mo' Better Blues. Still, for all his accomplishments, Joe Chambers is a very humble, almost self-deprecating musician. For all the profound music of which he's played a role, Chambers views his legacy as a day in the life. “When we were making those records we weren't thinking about making history, we were just doing it at the time. You have to realize, I was engrossed in all the subplots of the '60s. In those days it was a different mind set. It was tied to the anti-establishment, anti-war peace and love thing. I was hooked up with that. We didn't talk about peace and love, but we were definitely spaced out. We were making the music.”<br />
<br />
Mirrors marks Joe Chambers' return to the Blue Note fold. Including compositions both old and new, with renditions of material by Rod Temperton and Janet Jackson, the album spotlights Joe Chambers as not only a highly influential drummer (who still burns), but as a composer with a special touch. Seemingly sidelined after the whirlwind of the 1960s, Chambers continued to write, play and perform. Joe Chambers Plays Piano, Double Exposure, Phantom of the City, and The Almoravid displayed a subtle hand at work, the result of his early classical influences and invaluable experience with such heavyweights as Wayne Shorter and Andrew Hill.<br />
<br />
Mirrors shows Chambers to be his own man, a dedicated perfectionist, who, while cut from '60s cloth, has followed his own path to realize a sublime, swinging, soulful music. The compositions on Mirrors flow, one into another, with an undeniable purpose and logic. Nothing is without reason, each song resolving, then opening into the next. The title has special meaning for Chambers. “Actually, there is a twofold meaning. The psychological meaning is that back inthe '60s I was introspective, and that has continued in my life, always looking at mirrors. On a technical side, it designates a type of writing called mirror writing. It's a style of composition where the theme returns and is examined in a song. You turn it up, you turn it down, you look at it from many directions.”<br />
<br />
Mirrors' lineup reflects Chambers' past and present: Vincent Herring, saxophones; Eddie Henderson, trumpet; Mulgrew Miller, piano; and Ira Coleman, bass. Chambers performs on both drums and vibraphone. Like a suite, Mirrors tells a story where each tale is connected, where the musician's performances reveal deeper shades of meaning upon repeated listening.LincolnLabPortlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17941615214786106215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2797912162199521757.post-17223815371604360602011-06-18T08:08:00.000-07:002011-06-18T08:08:18.788-07:00Sachal Vasandani (live interview @ 12:00) Wynton (video @ Marciac) and Ellis Marsalis differently savoring 'Sweet Georgia Brown' (11:21), Chick & Gary are Monks's 'Four in One' (11:28), Horace Sliver 'Doin the Thing' (11:41), Post bop drummer Carola Grey with her 'Attitudes' (12:41) on HARD CHOICES Saturdays 11am-1pm PSTSachal Vasandani (live interview @ 12:00) Wynton (video @ Marciac) and Ellis Marsalis differently savoring 'Sweet Georgia Brown' (11:21), Chick & Gary are Monks's 'Four in One' (11:28), Horace Sliver 'Doin the Thing' (11:41), Post bop drummer Carola Grey with her 'Attitudes' (12:41) on HARD CHOICES Saturdays 11am-1pm http://hardchoicesblog.blogspot.com -Shawn K<br />

Miles, Wayne, Herbie, Ron and Tony.<br />
Biography <br />
Miles and his Disciples were daring, ferocious and mysterious, straddling the line between acoustic and electric jazz. During this period, The Quintet incorporated electric sounds into their acoustic reportoire and yielded such classic recordings as "E.S.P." and "Nefertiti". These assemblymen were impressionistic, wholly improvisational yet also, trying to hit their stride as a cohesive whole. The four years that they were together marked an epochal shift in the tide of Jazz music; the acoustic age gave way to the boundless nature of the electric. The Second Great Quintet played second fiddle to no one and throughout their four years of existence, consistently pushed themselves and the perceived confines of their chosen medium. -All Music<br />
