JAMALADEEN TACUMA on VH1 New Visions Performance ft. DENNIS ALSTON, 1988 | THE JAZZ LIBRARY The Jazz Library 2025-09-04 | One of the top graduates of Ornette Coleman's Prime Time, bassist Jamaladeen Tacuma on VH1 "New Visions" performing "Rhythm Of Your Mind" from the album "Jukebox" ft. Dennis Alston from his free funk group Spectacle on drums and percussion, 1988.Since his emergence with Ornette Coleman's Prime Time in the mid-'70s, Jamaaladeen Tacuma has been one of the top electric bassists in a style of music that could be called "free funk." Growing up in Philadelphia, Tacuma (who before he converted to Islam was known as Rudy McDaniel) played with Charles Earland. Only 19 when he joined Coleman in 1975, his ability to combine together funky rhythms with free jazz helped give Prime Time its distinctive sound. Tacuma's own solo career has been wide ranging. He's played with a variety of advanced musicians (including James "Blood" Ulmer, Olu Dara, Julius Hemphill, and David Murray). In 2007 he teamed with drummer Grant Calvin Weston and guitarist Vernon Reid in the power trio Free Form Funky Freqs. The band's debut album, Urban Mythology: Volume One was released in February of 2008.🎷 Join The Jazz Library | Jazz Photo Archives Collective!🔗 Support the collective through the store. 🏛 The Jazz Library Storehttps://linktr.ee/thejazzlibrary 📷 Jazz Photo Archives Galleryinstagram.com/jazzphotoarchives📚 The Jazz Library Instagraminstagram.com/thejazzlibraryJazz Photo Archives Threadsthreads.net/@jazzphotoarchivesThe Jazz Library Xx.com/thejazzlibrary
JOE PASS 1976 Solo guitar on Joes Blues | THE JAZZ LIBRARY The Jazz Library 2025-08-11 | JOE PASS 1976 Solo guitar on 'Joe's Blues'Joe PassThe epitome of virtuoso guitarists who weathered addiction to become one of the top jazz voices of his generation.Joe Pass did the near-impossible. He was able to play up-tempo versions of bop tunes such as "Cherokee" and "How High the Moon" unaccompanied on the guitar. Unlike Stanley Jordan, Pass used conventional (but superb) technique, and his Virtuoso series on Pablo still sounds remarkable decades later.Joe Pass had a false start in his career. He played in a few swing bands (including Tony Pastor's) before graduating from high school, and was with Charlie Barnet for a time in 1947. But after serving in the military, Pass became a drug addict, serving time in prison and essentially wasting a decade. He emerged in 1962 with a record cut at Synanon, made a bit of a stir with his For Django set, recorded several other albums for Pacific Jazz and World Pacific, and performed with Gerald Wilson, Les McCann, George Shearing, and Benny Goodman (1973).However, in general Pass maintained a low profile in Los Angeles until he was signed by Norman Granz to his Pablo label. 1973's Virtuoso made him a star and he recorded very prolifically for Pablo, unaccompanied, with small groups, on duo albums with Ella Fitzgerald, and with such masters as Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson, Milt Jackson, and Dizzy Gillespie. Pass remained very active up until his death from cancer.🎷 Join The Jazz Library | Jazz Photo Archives Collective!🔗 Support the collective through the store. 🏛 The Jazz Library Storehttps://linktr.ee/thejazzlibrary 📷 Jazz Photo Archives Galleryinstagram.com/jazzphotoarchives📚 The Jazz Library Instagraminstagram.com/thejazzlibraryJazz Photo Archives Threadsthreads.net/@jazzphotoarchivesThe Jazz Library Xx.com/thejazzlibrary

MCCOY TYNER QUARTET ft ALPHONSE MOUZON Live at Montreux Jazz Festival, 1974 | THE JAZZ LIBRARY The Jazz Library 2025-06-24 | Enlightenment is a live album by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner released on the Milestone label. It was recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland on July 7, 1973 and features Tyner in performance with Azar Lawrence, Joony Booth and Alphonse Mouzon."Enlightenment Suite, Part 1 - Genesis" "Enlightenment Suite, Part 2: The Offering" "Enlightenment Suite, Part 3 - Inner Glimpse" "Presence" "Nebula""Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit"McCoy Tyner – piano, percussionAzar Lawrence – tenor saxophone, soprano saxophoneJuni Booth – bassAlphonse Mouzon – drums Recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Casino De Montreux, Switzerland, July 7, 1973Scott Yanow, writing for Allmusic, notes that "this is one of the great McCoy Tyner recordings. The powerful, percussive, and highly influential pianist sounds quite inspired throughout his appearance at the 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival".Richard Cook and Brian Morton, authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz, opine that Enlightenment and the 1974 live album Atlantis are "two huge, sprawling concert recordings which will drain most listeners: Tyner's piano outpourings seem unstoppable, and Lawrence comes on as an even fierier spirit than [Sonny] Fortune, even if both are in thrall to Coltrane. The Enlightenment set, cut at Montreux, is marginally superior, if only for the pile-driving 'Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit."Steve Metaliz, writing for Down Beat, noted that:"since the death of Coltrane, it's been the pianists who've been on the cutting edge of the music's development.... Enlightenment testifies to the brilliant sound of [Tyner's] endeavors. Tyner's inside the instrument, as Coltrane was with the sax, drawing from it colors, textures, and intensities unprecedented in jazz. No wonder the sidemen tend to get lost in the shuffle a bit. Tenor saxophonist Azar Lawrence in particular sometimes seems overwhelmed by the energy emanating from the keyboard; but on the whole he acquits himself well in a role in which it was understandably difficult to retain a distinctive voice. Drummer Al Mouzon deserves special note; his crisp drumming is a good foil for Tyner's shattering polyphony. Enlightenment is a celebration of the epoch of the pianists and also of a musician who has never ceased to grow."🎷 Join The Jazz Library | Jazz Photo Archives Collective!🔗 Support the collective through the store. 🏛 The Jazz Library Storehttps://linktr.ee/thejazzlibrary 📷 Jazz Photo Archives Galleryinstagram.com/jazzphotoarchives📚 The Jazz Library Instagraminstagram.com/thejazzlibraryJazz Photo Archives Threadsthreads.net/@jazzphotoarchivesThe Jazz Library Xx.com/thejazzlibrary#freddiehubbard #joehenderson #herbiehancock #roncarter #bluenote #cantaloupeisland

JACKIE McLEAN ON MARS - Documentary Directed by Kenneth Levis, 1980 | THE JAZZ LIBRARY The Jazz Library 2025-04-17 | JACKIE McLEAN ON MARS - Documentary Directed by Kenneth Levis, 1980A beautiful portrait of the magnetic artist and educator who played with Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Art Blakey, and many others.Alto saxophonist Jackie McLean is a true jazz legend, but during the filming of Ken Levis’ Jackie McLean On Mars, he was more of an educator than a working musician. In the early scenes of the film, McLean is asked how he felt about being a legend, and replies, “I feel like an exploited, poor musician in 1976, if you want to know how I feel, and I also feel like a professor of history at the University of Hartford. If I feel good about anything, it’s about being able to turn down jobs that are offered to me for scale and below… that’s what I feel good about.” The doc features some incredible, candid footage of McLean in his element as an educator. In one scene, he’s seen joyfully conducting a group of children as they count, directing each number as if it were a note in a composition. In another, he gets into a heated discussion with university students on how to work within the commercial music industry, the importance of preserving jazz as American classical music, and Sun Ra.🎷 Join The Jazz Library | Jazz Photo Archives Collective!🔗 Support the collective through the store. 🏛 The Jazz Library Storehttps://linktr.ee/thejazzlibrary 📷 Jazz Photo Archives Galleryinstagram.com/jazzphotoarchives📚 The Jazz Library Instagraminstagram.com/thejazzlibraryJazz Photo Archives Threadsthreads.net/@jazzphotoarchivesThe Jazz Library Xx.com/thejazzlibrary#jazzinfilm #jackiemclean #documentary y #jazzlegend #jazzeducator

Drummer and bandleader Gene Krupa performed the song onscreen with his band. In an unusual twist, he also played it on a matchbox with matches for drumsticks. Krupa band member and noted trumpeter Roy Eldridge received a brief on-camera spot during "Drum Boogie". Ball of Fire (also known as The Professor and the Burlesque Queen) is a 1941 American screwball comedy film directed by Howard Hawks and starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. The Samuel Goldwyn Productions film (originally distributed by RKO) concerns a group of professors laboring to write an encyclopedia and their encounter with a nightclub performer who provides her own unique knowledge. The supporting cast includes Oscar Homolka, S. Z. Sakall, Henry Travers, Richard Haydn, Dana Andrews, and Dan Duryea.In 2016, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in its National Film Registry. In 1948, Hawks recycled the plot for a musical film, A Song Is Born, this time starring Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo.Copyright Disclaimer: - Under section 107 of the copyright Act 1976, allowance is mad for FAIR USE for purpose such a as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

It is a blues lamenting the bad treatment of a woman at the hands of "my man".Eleanora Fagan (April 7, 1915 – July 17, 1959), professionally known as Billie Holiday, was an American jazz musician and singer-songwriter. Nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and music partner Lester Young, Holiday had a seminal influence on jazz music and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo.The song was famously performed by Billie Holiday in 1957 in a television special, The Sound of Jazz. The line-up included several jazz legends (the first six are listed in the order of their solos): Ben Webster (tenor saxophone); Lester Young (tenor saxophone); Vic Dickenson (trombone); Gerry Mulligan (baritone saxophone); Coleman Hawkins (tenor saxophone); Roy Eldridge (trumpet); Doc Cheatham (trumpet); Danny Barker (guitar); Milt Hinton (double bass); Mal Waldron (piano); and Osie Johnson (drums). Recorded at CBS Studios, Los Angeles, CA in 1957.🎷 Join The Jazz Library | Jazz Photo Archives Collective!🔗 Support the collective through the store. 🏛 The Jazz Library Storehttps://linktr.ee/thejazzlibrary 📷 Jazz Photo Archives Galleryinstagram.com/jazzphotoarchives📚 The Jazz Library Instagraminstagram.com/thejazzlibraryJazz Photo Archives Threadsthreads.net/@jazzphotoarchivesThe Jazz Library Xx.com/thejazzlibrary#sarahvaughan #jazzvocals #jazzsinger

HAZEL SCOTT - Takin A Chance On Love - Scene from I Dood It, 1943 | THE JAZZ LIBRARY The Jazz Library 2025-04-02 | HAZEL SCOTT performing Takin' A Chance On Love - Scene from the movie "I Dood It", 1943.I Dood It (UK title By Hook or by Crook) is a 1943 American musical comedy film starring Red Skelton and Eleanor Powell, directed by Vincente Minnelli, and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The screenplay is by Fred Saidy and Sig Herzig and the film features Richard Ainley, Patricia Dane, Lena Horne, and Hazel Scott. John Hodiak plays a villain in this production, just his third movie role. Jimmy Dorsey and his Orchestra provide musical interludes.Powell's most notable performance in the film comes near the beginning when she executes a complex dance routine involving lariats and cowboys. Powell, in her introduction to the book Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance, recalled that she knocked herself unconscious while rehearsing a stunt for this sequence involving a rope and ultimately had to don a football helmet to protect herself. The final dance scene with Powell was taken from Born to Dance (1936). Many of the physical gags were done by Buster Keaton in the film Spite Marriage (1929). Keaton had an uncredited role in writing gags for some of Skelton's early MGM films.Skelton and Powell had previously worked together in Ship Ahoy (1942). In that film, they appeared with Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy's brother.This was Powell's final starring role at MGM. After this, she would make a cameo appearance in Thousands Cheer, play a lead role in the United Artists film Sensations of 1945, and return to MGM for a cameo in Duchess of Idaho (1950) before retiring from the screen for good.The rather ungrammatical title was from one of Red Skelton's radio catchphrases of the day. In 1942 Jack Owens, The Cruising Crooner, wrote a song for Skelton based on it: "I Dood It! (If I Do, I Get a Whippin')", but that song does not appear in this film.Jimmy Dorsey's theme song "Contrasts" appears in the film. He also performs the jazz and pop standard "Star Eyes" which he was the first to release. The film opens with the Jimmy Dorsey orchestra performing Count Basie's "One O'Clock Jump". As the tempo and energy of the music increases several couples can be seen dancing in the confined space in front of their theater seats, and other fans leave their seats to stand in front of the band stage.Dance direction in the film was by Bobby Connolly, and the "Western Rope Dance," assisted by Bob Eberly and Jimmy Dorsey's Orchestra, is the second scene in the film. Joe Yule Sr. is Mickey Rooney's father.One bit has somebody making a disparaging remark about Jimmy Dorsey's orchestra behind Joe's back. Joe turns around to find himself face-to-face with Jimmy's brother Tommy. (The two brothers notoriously feuded in real life, though they eventually reconciled).🎷 Join The Jazz Library | Jazz Photo Archives Collective!🔗 Support the collective through the store. 🏛 The Jazz Library Storehttps://linktr.ee/thejazzlibrary 📷 Jazz Photo Archives Galleryinstagram.com/jazzphotoarchives📚 The Jazz Library Instagraminstagram.com/thejazzlibraryJazz Photo Archives Threadsthreads.net/@jazzphotoarchivesThe Jazz Library Xx.com/thejazzlibrary#jazzinfilm #hazelscott #piano #hollywood

CAB CALLOWAY & THE NICHOLAS BROTHERS - Scene from Stormy Weather, 1943 | THE JAZZ LIBRARY The Jazz Library 2025-03-20 | CAB CALLOWAY & THE NICHOLAS BROTHERS - Scene from "Stormy Weather", 1943Stormy Weather is a 1943 American musical film produced and released by 20th Century Fox, adapted by Frederick J. Jackson, Ted Koehler and H.S. Kraft from the story by Jerry Horwin and Seymour B. Robinson, directed by Andrew L. Stone, produced by William LeBaron and starring Lena Horne, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, and Cab Calloway. The film is one of two Hollywood musicals with an African American cast released in 1943, both starring Lena Horne, the other being MGM's Cabin in the Sky. Stormy Weather is a primary showcase of some of the leading African American performers of the day, during an era when African American actors and singers rarely appeared in lead roles in mainstream Hollywood productions. The supporting cast features the Nicholas Brothers in arguably the screen's most bravura dance sequence, Fats Waller, Katherine Dunham and her dancers, and Dooley Wilson. Stormy Weather takes its title from the 1933 song of the same title, which is performed almost an hour into the film. It is loosely based upon the life and times of its star, dancer Bill "Bojangles" Robinson.The character of Selina was invented for the film; Robinson did not have such a romance in real life. Dooley Wilson (the singer/pianist in Casablanca the previous year) co-stars as Bill's perpetually broke but boldly imaginative friend, Gabe, and Emmett "Babe" Wallace appears as Chick Bailey.Other performers in the movie are Cab Calloway and Fats Waller (both appearing as themselves), the Nicholas Brothers dancing duo, comedian F. E. Miller, singer Ada Brown, and Katherine Dunham with her dance troupe. Despite a running time of only 77 minutes, the film features some 20 musical numbers. This was Robinson's final film (he died in 1949); Waller died only a few months after its release.🎷 Join The Jazz Library | Jazz Photo Archives Collective!🔗 Support the collective through the store. 🏛 The Jazz Library Storehttps://linktr.ee/thejazzlibrary 📷 Jazz Photo Archives Galleryinstagram.com/jazzphotoarchives📚 The Jazz Library Instagraminstagram.com/thejazzlibraryJazz Photo Archives Threadsthreads.net/@jazzphotoarchivesThe Jazz Library Xx.com/thejazzlibrary#jazzinfilm #dukeellington #hollywood

HUGH MASEKELA at the Monterey Pop Festival, Bajabula Bonke (The Healing Song) | THE JAZZ LIBRARY The Jazz Library 2025-03-13 | HUGH MASEKELA performance at the Monterey Pop Festival, Bajabula Bonke (The Healing Song), June 17, 1967Footage from the the D.A. Pennebaker documentary Monterey Pop.Monterey Pop is a 1968 American concert film by D. A. Pennebaker that documents the Monterey International Pop Festival of 1967. Among Pennebaker's several camera operators were fellow documentarians Richard Leacock and Albert Maysles. The painter Brice Marden has an "assistant camera" credit. Titles for the film were by the illustrator Tomi Ungerer. Featured performers include Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Hugh Masekela, Otis Redding, Ravi Shankar, the Mamas & the Papas, the Who (who also besides Hendrix destroyed equipment on stage), and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, whose namesake set his guitar on fire, broke it on the stage, then threw the neck of his guitar in the crowd at the end of "Wild Thing".In 2018, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".The American Broadcasting Company put up a $200,000 advance to get a film made about the Monterey Pop Festival for its new ABC Movie of the Week series. However, Monterey Pop never aired on ABC, a decision made by Thomas W. Moore, the head of ABC at the time and, according to Lou Adler, "a very conservative Southern gentleman." "We showed him Jimi Hendrix fornicating with his amp and we said 'What do you think?' " Adler recalls. "And he said 'Keep the money and get out.' He said 'Not on my network.' " Monterey Pop was shot on 16mm film blown up to 35mm for theatrical release. Director D. A. Pennebaker said he recorded the audio on a professional 8-channel reel-to-reel recorder borrowed from the Beach Boys. The movie's theatrical release used a four-channel soundtrack that included two to three minutes of rudimentary surround sound. Dolby noise reduction was added in 1978 when fresh prints of the film were struck.After Leacock-Pennebaker, the original production company, was dissolved in 1970, Pennebaker Associates acquired rights to the film.🎷 Join The Jazz Library | Jazz Photo Archives Collective!🔗 Support the collective through the store. 🏛 The Jazz Library Storehttps://linktr.ee/thejazzlibrary 📷 Jazz Photo Archives Galleryinstagram.com/jazzphotoarchives📚 The Jazz Library Instagraminstagram.com/thejazzlibraryJazz Photo Archives Threadsthreads.net/@jazzphotoarchivesThe Jazz Library Xx.com/thejazzlibrary

JACKIE McLEAN & THE FREDDIE REDD QUARTET - Scenes from The Connection, 1961 | THE JAZZ LIBRARY The Jazz Library 2025-03-05 | JACKIE McLEAN & THE FREDDIE REDD QUARTET - Scenes from "The Connection", 1961.The Connection is a 1961 feature film directed by the American experimental filmmaker Shirley Clarke. The film was Clarke's first feature; she had made several short films over the previous decade. Jack Gelber wrote the screenplay, adapting his play of the same name. The film was the subject of significant court cases regarding censorship. It is the first known movie shot in the found footage format and beginning with a found footage title card.Songs featured: Who Killed Cock Robin 0:00 Blues Jam 3:51 Music Forever 5:03 Time To Smile 5:46 Jim Dunn's Dilema 8:57 O.D. 11:19Jackie McLean - Alto SaxophoneFreddie Redd - PianoMichael Mattos - BassLarry Richie - DrumsBased on the play The Connection by Jack Gelber, the film follows a young filmmaker who attempts to film junkies waiting for their heroin dealer to arrive.Most of the actors from the original stage production reprised their roles for the film: Warren Finnerty as Leach, Carl Lee as Cowboy, Garry Goodrow as Ernie, Jerome Raphel as Solly, Barbara Winchester as Sister Salvation, and Henry Proach as Harry. All the musicians from the original stage production appeared: Freddie Redd (composer, piano), Jackie McLean (alto sax), Michael Mattos (bass), and Larry Ritchie (drums). Non-original cast members James Anderson and William Redfield took the roles of Sam and Jim Dunn. The character of Jaybird was cut from the film; that role essentially shifted to a largely off-screen camera operator, J.J. Burden, voiced by Roscoe Lee Browne. The music played on the onscreen record player is "Marmaduke" by and performed by Charlie Parker (take 4).The film helped to loosen film censorship, as Clarke and producer Lewis Allen had filed suit to be able to show the film in New York. (The film had premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1961.) In that era, in New York, the State's Department of Education had a vote on the State's film licensing board, and they voted to deny a license, mainly on the grounds that the word "sh1t" was used repeatedly during the film even though it was mostly used to refer to drugs.The case went to the New York State Court of Appeals (the state's highest court). The Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the intermediate level Appellate Division, which had held that while 'vulgar', this usage could not be considered obscene. Ultimately, the film was unsuccessful at the box office.Warren Finnerty as LeachJerome Raphael as SollyGarry Goodrow as ErnieJim Anderson as SamCarl Lee as CowboyBarbara Winchester as Sister SalvationHenry Proach as HarryRoscoe Lee Browne as J.

FIVE FACES OF JAZZ Newport Jazz Festival 1967 ft. ROY AYERS & GABOR SZABO | THE JAZZ LIBRARY The Jazz Library 2025-02-26 | The documentary film The Five Faces Of Jazz – also known as Newport Jazz Festival 1967 – chronicles one particular afternoon of the 1967 Newport Jazz Festival, held between Friday, June 30 and Monday, July 3. Originally organized by flautist Herbie Mann with Olatunji and Dizzy Gillespie, “The Five Faces Of Jazz” was intended to showcase the various influences on jazz from Africa to the Middle East and Latin America to the United States.Hungarian guitarist Gabor Szabo and Brazilian musician Luiz Henrique were also invited to participate in the special program. Apparently, plans changed at the last minute. Gillespie was out, Olatunji was added as a guest to the Herbie Mann Quintet (featuring Roy Ayers) and Szabo and Henrique performed their own sets with their own groups.Recorded by the National Educational Television for WGBH-TV in Boston, this half-hour documentary ostensibly highlights the 1967 event. But while the festival featured performances by the Miles Davis Quintet, the Bill Evans Trio and the Wes Montgomery Trio, the documentary largely concentrates on Herbie Mann and his group.The film also includes the lovely and intoxicating “Emily” from the Gabor Szabo Quintet’s Newport set. Surprisingly, Szabo never waxed a studio recording of Johnny Mandel’s popular theme from the film The Americanization of Emily (1964).Here, Szabo turns “Emily” into a samba. While hunched over his guitar, he brings a mysterious romance from a private world deep within. He seems to flirt with Jimmy Stewart’s acoustic counterpoint and attracts a most sensuous solo — as if the music was written in Stewart’s soul and pours effortlessly from his strings.Sufficiently courted, Szabo responds in kind with a lovely single-string solo of his own. Likewise, each member of the group listens carefully. Each watches the others intently. Rhythmic support motivates with empathy and provides a lush cushion for a memorable performance.The Five Faces of Jazz - Full Concert Live at the Newport Jazz Festival 10/1/1967 - Setlist:0:00:00 - Yavuz0:06:51 - Norwegian Wood0:15:52 - Sawa Sawa De0:22:14 - St. Thomas0:29:46 - Alicinha0:32:48 - Mas Que Nada0:36:03 - Agua De Beber0:39:39 - Listen To Me0:42:22 - Emily0:49:28 - More Rice Than Peas Please Herbie Mann QuintetPersonnel:Herbie Mann - fluteRoy Ayers - vibesChick Anemian - oudReggie Workman - bassBruno Carr - drumsSpecial guests:Babatunde Olatunji - percussionLuiz Henrique TrioPersonnel:Luis Enrique - guitar, vocalsDon Payne - bassDon McDonald - drumsGabor Szabo QuintetGabor Szabo - guitarLouis Stewart - guitarLouis Kabok - bassBill Goodwin - drumsHal Gordon - percussion🎷 Join The Jazz Library | Jazz Photo Archives Collective!🔗 Support the collective through the store. 🏛 The Jazz Library Storehttps://linktr.ee/thejazzlibrary 📷 Jazz Photo Archives Galleryinstagram.com/jazzphotoarchives📚 The Jazz Library Instagraminstagram.com/thejazzlibraryJazz Photo Archives Threadsthreads.net/@jazzphotoarchivesThe Jazz Library Xx.com/thejazzlibrary
MILES DAVIS Call It Anything Live at the Isle Of Wight Festival, August 1970 | THE JAZZ LIBRARY The Jazz Library 2025-02-21 | Miles Davis live at Isle of Wight Festival, 29th of august of 1970.On August 29, 1970, Miles Davis was at the Isle of Wight Festival. Miles was preceded by Joni Mitchell, in particular, and followed by Ten Years After, Emerson Lake & Palmer, The Doors, The Who, Melanie, and Sly & The Family Stone. Instead of a Fender Rhodes, Chick Corea was given a Hohner Electrapiano and Keith Jarrett an electric organ, a RMI Electrapiano. Just as he was going on stage, Miles was asked what he was going to play. He answered, “Call it anything.” As in all of his concerts, it was pretty much a potpourri: none of his usual standards were on the program except for “The Theme” that concluded the concert. The only others were the opening number “Directions,” “It’s About That Time” (from In A Silent Way), “Bitches Brew,” “Sanctuary,” and “Spanish Key” (from Bitches Brew). All Miles had to do was to play the first notes of a phrase and the rest of the band would immediately take it up. The new saxophonist Gary Bartz highlighted Miles’ affinity with Ornette Coleman. Airto Moreira dwelt in this jungle of sound as though he himself were part of some kind of wild animal delegation.Personnel:Miles Davis - TrumpetGary Bartz - SaxophonesKeith Jarrett - KeyboardsChick Corea - KeyboardsDave Holland - Electric BassJack DeJohnette - DrumsAirto Moreira - PercussionThe Setlist includes Directions, Bitches Brew, It´s About That Time, Sanctuary, Spanish Key, The Theme "Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

A GREAT DAY IN HARLEM, Documentary by Jean Bach, 1994 | THE JAZZ LIBRARY The Jazz Library 2025-02-19 | A Great Day in Harlem is a 1994 American documentary film directed by Jean Bach about the photograph of the same name. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.Director Jean Bach acquired an original home movie showing the 1958 photo shoot from musician Milt Hinton. She used Hinton's home video as the basis for her hour-long documentary.A Great Day in Harlem or Harlem 1958 is a black-and-white photograph of 57 jazz musicians in Harlem, New York, taken by freelance photographer Art Kane for Esquire magazine on August 12, 1958. The idea for the photo came from Esquire's art director, Robert Benton, rather than Kane. However, after being given the commission, it seems that Kane was responsible for choosing the location for the shoot. The subjects are shown at 17 East 126th Street,[a] between Fifth and Madison Avenue, where police had temporarily blocked off traffic. Published as the centerfold of the January 1959 ("Golden Age of Jazz") issue of Esquire, the image was captured with a Hasselblad camera, and earned Kane his first Art Directors Club of New York gold medal for photography. It has been called "the most iconic photograph in jazz history".The scene portrayed is something of an anachronism, as by 1957 Harlem was no longer the "hotbed" of jazz it had been in the 1940s, and had "forfeited its place in sun" to 52nd Street in Midtown Manhattan. Many musicians who were formerly resident in the area had already moved to middle-class parts of New York, or did so shortly thereafter. Kane himself was not that certain who would turn up on the day, as Esquire staff had merely issued a general invitation through the local musicians' union, recording studios, music writers, and nightclub owners.In 2018, a book was published to mark the 60th anniversary of the event, with forewords by Quincy Jones and Benny Golson, and an introduction by Kane's son, Jonathan.Following the death of Benny Golson in September 2024, Sonny Rollins is the last living adult musician featured in the photograph. Interviewed for a December 2024 article in The New York Times, Rollins gave his view of the photograph's significance at that time, when racism and segregation was pervasive: "It just seemed like we weren't appreciated ... mainly because jazz was a Black art. I think that picture humanized a lot of the myth of what people thought jazz was."Copyright Disclaimer: - Under section 107 of the copyright Act 1976, allowance is mad for FAIR USE for purpose such a as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.
