Worcester Hot Club listening sessions


bertrand

Recommended Posts

For a few weeks now, Ben Young has been hosting these sessions, which often feature some unknown recordings. Last week, they played two different dates featuring Mal Waldron and either Ted Curson or Charie Rouse. This week, an Archie Shepp/Charli Persip duo provided by Archie himself.

I will share these as I find out about them. I apologize for the inevitable formatting issues. I can forward the email on demand.

WPI’s Jazz History Database kicks off a hot listening session Thursday, June 10 

 

3pm to 5pm   Charli Persip and Archie Shepp (JHDB From the Lab)

5pm to 6:30   Bobby Tucker as Billie Holiday’s accompanist 

6:30 to 8pm   Tony Scott pre-centennial fantasia (Worcester Hot Club)

All are welcome to join any time.  

 

Notice also: Hot Zoom action from Lakeview TONIGHT (6/9)—scroll all the way down for details. 

 

 

The late Melissa Jones, who kicked off much of the Hot Club activity we enjoy today, based her operations in Morristown, New Jersey. Melissa’s HQ for the Unilateral Hot Club of Morristown and launching pad for related initiatives, was also immortalized in the phrase “Goin’ to Morristown” to connote and denote the act of hot listening. 

 

For this Thursday’s extravaganza, we surely will be going to Morristown—following through on a plan that was only incubated in MJ’s last months to spotlight a group of Jazz musicians with Morristown roots. 

 

We first honor drummer Charli Persip (born in Morristown in 1929), a choice percussionist in the hard-bop era for Dizzy Gillespie and other notables… which makes it especially noteworthy that our featured music from the Jazz History Database lab comes from a duo concert with tenor man Archie Shepp, who has kindly shared this music. 

 

The middle set belongs to Billie Holiday.  Some of you sharpshooters know that she was a Morristown resident for a few weeks in 1947. While in town she stayed at the family home of her accompanist Bobby Tucker—who really is our Morristown connection here.  We’ll hear an hour and more of Holiday recordings with Tucker on piano. 

 

Like Persip, clarinetist Tony Scott started his days in Morristown. Scott was a major stylist of the modern clarinet—i.e., the small-band world of Bebop and beyond. Tony Scott centennial of birth is next Thursday but we’ll get a jump on it with an evening’s features of Tony Scott’s 1950s recordings for Brunswick and RCA Victor. 

 

As always, all are welcome—bring a friend and/or tell one.

WPI's Jazz History Database presents

Hot listening Thursday June 24 on Zoom 

 

3pm   Footnotes to recent sessions on George Coleman, Mal Waldron and others (JHDB From the Lab) 

5:30pm Piedmont Blues prelude (Worcester Hot Club with Rick Hendra) 

6pm   Piedmont Blues narrated! (Worcester Hot Club hosted by Rick Hendra) 

8pm   Vocal group music of the Great Migration 

 

https://wpi.zoom.us/j/97495476280   

[more options below] 

All are welcome to join any time.  

 

 

*   

 

Details: 

 

From the Lab (JHDB) 

 

3pm to 5:30    Through the last couple of months we’ve referred forward to a few ‘matters for further study’. We’ll pick up on some of those with hidden music from the Young Men From Memphis session, Mal Waldron on 78s with Ike Quebec, perhaps a nod toward Maestro Ellington and a belated offering in honor of Eric Dolphy’s birthday anniversary. 

 

WORCESTER HOT CLUB (w/ Rick Hendra) 

 

5:30 – 6:00…  A short session of Piedmont Blues to give you time to eat or change gears before the main course for this evening. 

  

6:00 – 8:00… A long session on the country blues music of the Southeastern U.S., comprising the Atlantic arm of the Great Migration. Our story starts in Atlanta and then follows along the Piedmont area of the Carolinas and Virginia, from which the “Piedmont Blues” draws its name. It’s a blues form rooted more in ragtime and the finger-picking styles of Blind Blake and Lonnie Johnson than the more percussive Delta blues stylings we more often hear these days. The Delta blues went to Chicago, got electrified, and became the Chicago blues; the Piedmont blues went to NYC and helped kick off the Folk Revival. It’s a story of 12-string guitars, blind street buskers, and women who got no credit for the players they were. 

  

8:00 – 9:00… A listening session to close out, featuring another music of the Atlantic arm of the Great Migration, but this time from the Tidewater area closer to the coast: black vocal group harmonizing, both gospel and secular.

WPI’s Jazz History Database presents a hot listening session  

On Zoom Thursday, July 1 

 

3:00 to 5:30pm  (JHDB From the Lab) Louis Armstrong in 1958 

5:30 to 6:30pm Louis Armstrong on OKeh 78s (Charles Iselin hosts) 

6:30 to 8:00pm Louis Armstrong on 78s (Gian Carlo Cervone hosts) 

8:00 to 9:00pm  Rashied Ali quartet rarity (Crossing Tones Power Hour

 

https://wpi.zoom.us/j/97495476280   

[more options below] 

All are welcome to join any time.  

 

 

Louis Armstrong through his whole life represented that he was born on July 4, 1900—which has led to an ongoing equation of his birthday with the Independence Day holiday. We’ll get started on the weekend a little early.  In the Armstrong music for today’s Lab session, he sings a little, plays a lot (of course) and even does an early version of what some have seen as rapping.  Collaterally, we’ll spend some time with a couple of ongoing concepts in Armstrong’s world: 

Alternative versions of improvisations and Louis’s role in that process; and 

the issue of the repertoire of his working band versus repertoire in unique projects.  

 

 

The evening sessions are all about Louis Armstrong 78rpm records—his earliest format—and represent most of the early chapters of Armstrong as a sideman with King Oliver and others, and an OKeh recording artist starting in the Twenties. 

Charles Iselin spins a set at 5:30, and Gian Carlo Cervone will host from 6:30 until 8.  

 

 

And then for something substantially different: For the Crossing Tones Power Hour Parker Fishel honors the birthday anniversary of drummer Rashied Ali with an exclusive and surprising set of music that celebrates the quite differing energies of violinist Takehisa Kosugi, saxophonist Mabo Suzuki and bassist William Parker. Only once, only then: 8 to 9.  

 

Tell a friend, bring a friend, and chime in any time.

3pm to 5:30                More historic Newport Jazz sounds.  We’ll focus on a wrinkle in the festival’s history, the transitional years of 1961 and 62, for sets played by Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Stan Getz, and The Jazz Messengers. Among the starring sidemen are Roy Haynes, Andrew Hill, Scotty LaFaro—and is that Wayne Shorter? 

 

5:30pm to 8+             This week’s session on the Delta/Memphis blues is the 4th episode in Hendra’s Zoomentary-in-the-making, The Story Of The Blues, which is the story of the Great Migration set to music and pictured in some detail (the Zoom advantage). We’ve already broadcast the previous three sessions on the classic vaudeville blues, the Piedmont Blues, and 40’s Jump Blues/R&B here on Thursday's Jazz Potpourri. The fifth and final episode, on the Chicago Blues, will air right here again in September.

This may be a rare opportunity to hear the 1961 Blakey band with Dorham and Shorter, assuming that is what is being played.

3:00pm to 7pm                       At the brink of his 1971 Science Fiction recording sessions (and a major pivot in his working method) alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman’s sextet played a weekend at Slugs Saloon in the East Village.  We mark the 50th anniversary of all these events with some rare sounds from those performances. If the sages favor us, our session will be joined by the surviving musician from that engagement, trumpeter Bobby Bradford… the icing on an already great cake! 

 

Along the way we’ll take the opportunity to play and reflect on Bradford’s first recordings session, from nearly 20 years earlier in the band of King Perry. (We’ll also tip a cap to Worcester’s Jazz history with some music Bradford made 40 years ago here in town) 

 

7:00pm to 9pm                       We hear vocalist Abbey Lincoln in some timeless classics of her career and also in interview narration about those music-making episodes. 

 

 

Drop in any time, and pass the word to a friend.

3:00pm to ....           Historian, teacher and broadcaster Phil Schaap died earlier this week.  Respectful apologies for the abruptness of that announcement to those who are just now hearing this news. During this Thursday’s session we’ll consider Phil’s deep Jazz work on the planet. While listening to some of the timeless recordings that he helped us to hear better, we’ll collectively reflect on Phil’s influence on the study of Jazz as an art form, the lessons of his teaching, and his indelible mark on friends, colleagues, students and generations of listeners.  

 

All are invited to fold in your observations and reminiscences with those of our several hosts, who have all studied in the Schaap school in one fashion or another. 

 

This extraordinary session of Thursday’s Jazz Potpourri is expected to blend in some or all of the following in an organic way: 

 

5:30pm                        78 session with Charles Iselin and co. 

 

6:30pm to 8                Ras Moshe presents some rare ensemble music written and led by multi-instrumentalist Sam Rivers (1923–2011)  

 

8pm to 9                     David Beal guides us through a sampling of music from drummer Sunny Murray’s Untouchable Factor, out of the Kazunori Sugiyama collection.  

 

 

Drop in any time, and pass the word to a friend.
