Lauren LaverneHOST
And he introduced you to Miles Davis, didn't he?
Chaka KhanGUEST
Miles Davis and Max Roach, his favorite drummer.
Lauren LaverneHOST
Yeah.
Chaka KhanGUEST
He's also the guy that told me and gave me an ear to hear and differentiate what instrument was playing.
JackHOST
However, it's really nice to be inside and playing songs like this.
JackHOST
This is Max Roach with A Quiet Place.
JackHOST
And wherever you are, I do hope you are enjoying it.
JackHOST
We've got a lot of music to get through today.
JackHOST
Welcome to Jack's Lagoon live on Voices Radio.
JackHOST
An absolutely gorgeous track there.
JackHOST
Following Max Roach and Mboom with A Quiet Place.
JackHOST
This is real young Phil.
Stanton MooreGUEST
And then go back and start learning what people were playing note for note.
Stanton MooreGUEST
And then I started getting into Max Roach transcriptions and Philly Joe transcriptions and Elvin transcriptions.
Stanton MooreGUEST
And, you know, even getting into – I went and started taking a couple lessons with Kenny Washington and getting into the Charles Wilcox and modern rudimental swing solos because that's what Philly Joe was studying.
Stanton MooreGUEST
And once you start getting into that book – and you start getting to where you get comfortable with it, and then you start checking out a Philly Joe transcription, and you're like, oh my goodness, this is like, I can point to like examples of what measures of what Wilcox and Solos this is coming from, you know? So- Like I said, I really start going down a rabbit hole once I do.
Kevin LawrenceHOST
That's music by Charlie Parker's Reboppers.
Kevin LawrenceHOST
Charlie Parker, alto sax, Miles Davis trumpet, Dizzy Gillespie piano, Curly Russell bass, Max Roach on drums, an all-star lineup indeed, I would say.
Kevin LawrenceHOST
Charlie Parker, the co-founder of Bebop, this guy was a side band for Jay McShann and Earl Father Hines.
Kevin LawrenceHOST
We began the set with the music of Mr. Nick Finzer.
Joe AltermanHOST
As a bassist, he worked with an astonishing range of musicians, Stan Getz, Jerry Mulligan, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Marion McPartland, Joe Morello, Clark Terry, Bob Brookmeyer, Dizzy Gillespie, J.J. Johnson, I'm running out of breath, Art Farmer, Jim Hall, Phil Woods, Jimmy Rolls, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and many more.
Joe AltermanHOST
And at the same time, Bill was there at Birdland in the early 1950s, listening while Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Art Tatum, Lester Young, Miles Davis, Max Roach, and so many others were still simply working musicians around New York.
Joe AltermanHOST
Birdland was, in a very real sense, part of his education.
Joe AltermanHOST
In 1962, Bill traveled through the Soviet Union with Benny Goodman as part of one of the most remarkable cultural exchanges of the Cold War.
Herb BoydGUEST
So that's another one.
Herb BoydGUEST
Say nothing of my biography of the great jazz musician, you know, Max Roach.
Herb BoydGUEST
That's in the oven, too.
Carl NelsonHOST
Yeah, because I was going to ask you what you're working, because I know as a writer, you're always working.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
Now I'm just gonna throw out drummers' names.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
Max Roach.
Michael OsborneHOST
Not Max Roach.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
God, I feel like I know that song.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
This is a jazz musician.
Emanuel HarroldGUEST
So by the time Gregory gets in the mix of singing, we're like, oh, we know exactly how to accommodate and how to... just wrap our musical prowess around his delivery.
Emanuel HarroldGUEST
You know, it's more sensitive because we know, oh, this is what this needs more to like, I need to be me and I'm not going to sacrifice all my incredible Max Rose transcriptions, Tony Williams, Chris Dave, you know, all of this.
Emanuel HarroldGUEST
I'm going to make, I can't diminish no, but like you have to accommodate and without losing yourself, make those be the subtleties, but making what he needs be the primary thing is how we, we speak and how we also,
Neil SalsichHOST
we show up musically for, for Gregory every day.
Emanuel HarroldGUEST
different science.
Neil SalsichHOST
Yeah, no, it is.
Neil SalsichHOST
And I was thinking today, I'm like, I love what you just said about you, about maybe, I don't know if it's the tension, but the line kind of between your own identity as a drummer and all the chops and all the fury, the Max Roach and everything.
Neil SalsichHOST
And then all of a sudden you're back in a ballad singer maybe.
Rainer HirschHOST
a different iteration than the one we know today.
Rainer HirschHOST
This festival featured more than 30 local and international bands, including Oscar Peterson, Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, and Louis Armstrong.
Rainer HirschHOST
The festival was held over four days in July, and the program for the event advertised the most jazz.
Rainer HirschHOST
The most jazz it was, and the audience loved it.
Stanley ClarkeGUEST
Elvin Jones, a little behind the beat.
Stanley ClarkeGUEST
Art Blakey, Max Roach, some of the other guys right on the beat.
Stanley ClarkeGUEST
Nowadays, we have drummers that play the way they play, but their position where they place it on the beat is still one of those three places.
Stanley ClarkeGUEST
Then some of the real serious creative guys are all over the place.
