Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reissue of an acclaimed collection of images from photographer W. Eugene Smith’s time in a New York City loft among jazz musicians. In 1957, Eugene Smith walked away from his longtime job at Life and the home he shared with his wife and four children to move into a dilapidated, five-story loft building at 821 Sixth Avenue in New York City’s wholesale flower district. The loft was the late-night haunt of musicians, including some of the biggest names in jazz—Charles Mingus, Zoot Sims, Bill Evans, and Thelonious Monk among them. Here, from 1957 to 1965, he made nearly 40,000 photographs and approximately 4,000 hours of recordings of musicians. Smith found solace in the chaotic, somnambulistic world of the loft and its artists, and he turned his documentary impulses away from work on his major Pittsburg photo essay and toward his new surroundings. Smith’s Jazz Loft Project has been legendary in the worlds of art, photography, and music for more than forty years, but until the publication of this book, no one had seen his extraordinary photographs or read any of the firsthand accounts of those who were there and lived to tell the tales.

Download or read book Respectability and the Modern Jazz Quartet written by Carla Marie Rupp and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) was a noted jazz ensemble whose original members -- John Lewis (piano and director), Milt "Bags" Jackson (vibraphone), Ray Brown (bass) and Kenny "Klook" Clarke (drums) -- first performed together in Dizzy Gillespie's big band in 1946. Lewis (1920-2005), Jackson (1923-1999), Brown (1926- 2002), and Clarke (1914-1985) first recorded as a group, calling themselves the Milt Jackson Quartet, in 1951-2. By the time the first recordings of the group under the name Modern Jazz Quartet were released in 1952, Percy Heath (1923-2005) had already replaced Brown as bassist. By 1954, the group had begun performing regularly in nightclubs and concert halls. Drummer/percussionist Connie Kay (1927-1995) replaced Clarke in 1955. The personnel of Lewis, Jackson, Heath and Kay established the MJQ as one of the longest surviving jazz groups in history -- more than 40 years. The MJQ could boast of having "the most permanent personnel in jazz history." After the death of Kay, several drummers -- such as either Mickey Roker (b.1932) or Albert "Tootie" Heath (b.1935), a brother of Percy Heath -- briefly filled the vacancy at clubs and concerts between 1995 and 1996. The most complete history of the MJQ is found in the archives of the Institute of Jazz at Rutgers University, Newark. The group's history that follows -- which includes a number of firsts for a jazz group -- is taken from these archives, primarily from MJQ's own promotional listings on file at the Institute. I have selected some of their accomplishments and summarize them here, decade by decade, as a background for this essay.
Download or read book Conversations in Jazz written by Ralph J. Gleason and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-28 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his nearly forty years as a music journalist, Ralph J. Gleason recorded many in-depth interviews with some of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. These informal sessions, conducted mostly in Gleason’s Berkeley, California, home, have never been transcribed and published in full until now. This remarkable volume, a must-read for any jazz fan, serious musician, or musicologist, reveals fascinating, little-known details about these gifted artists, their lives, their personas, and, of course, their music. Bill Evans discusses his battle with severe depression, while John Coltrane talks about McCoy Tyner's integral role in shaping the sound of the Coltrane quartet, praising the pianist enthusiastically. Included also are interviews with Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Quincy Jones, Jon Hendricks, and the immortal Duke Ellington, plus seven more of the most notable names in twentieth-century jazz.

Download or read book Africa Speaks America Answers written by Robin D. G. Kelley and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, pianist Randy Weston and bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik celebrated with song the revolutions spreading across Africa. In Ghana and South Africa, drummer Guy Warren and vocalist Sathima Bea Benjamin fused local musical forms with the dizzying innovations of modern jazz. These four were among hundreds of musicians in the 1950's and '60's who forged connections between jazz and Africa that definitively reshaped both their music and the world. Each artist identified in particular ways with Africa's struggle for liberation and made music dedicated to, or inspired by, demands for independence and self-determination. That music was the wild, boundary-breaking exultation of modern jazz. The result was an abundance of conversation, collaboration, and tension between African and African American musicians during the era of decolonization. This collective biography demonstrates how modern Africa reshaped jazz, how modern jazz helped form a new African identity, and how musical convergences and crossings altered politics and culture on both continents. In a crucial moment when freedom electrified the African diaspora, these black artists sought one another out to create new modes of expression. Documenting individuals and places, from Lagos to Chicago, from New York to Cape Town, Robin Kelley gives us a meditation on modernity: we see innovation not as an imposition from the West but rather as indigenous, multilingual, and messy, the result of innumerable exchanges across a breadth of cultures.
