Joe Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Found on Youtube. Produced by David L. Wolper, presumably for his old BIOGRAPHY series. No date given, but most probably from 1962 or 1963; the era of the Horn Quintet with Emil Richards, Paul Moer, Victor Gaskin and Milt Turner. Some nice performance footage (Shelly's Manne Hole) and, IMO, a surprising amount of candor (references to Horn's being separated from his wife; the "business" side of things, keeping a working band together, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 R.I.P. - this comes as a shock. Tjader biographer Duncan Reid had made friends with him and met him frequently over the last years, he must been a very nice man. Surely a distinguished career, from west coast to India and back ... I remember listening to his Inside albums continuously, but to the dates with Tjader or his own fabulous quintet date on HiFiJazz just as well.

7/4 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Shouldn't be too much of a shock. He was 84 and lived a long and remarkable life. Rest in peace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 RIP and sorry to hear this, I have a few of his LPs, including some which he has signed. Will give them a spin later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's not that uncommon for a 84-year old to die, it still may be a shock. To me it was, especially as Duncan Reid had told me of their meetings.

mjazzg Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Discovered the Hi-Fi LPs only last year due to postins on this board.A fine musician of note to be sure. I look forward to discovering more of his music, sadly now posthumously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Fascinating guy, fascinating career. His autobiography, published in 1990, is worth dipping into... And here he is in Roger Corman's, um, "classic" A BUCKET OF BLOOD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfB6X0SHZPY From exploitation cinema to traveling the world in pursuit of the most exotic acoustical locations...

Teasing the Korean Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I was just in Chicago and of course went to Dusty Groove. I was determined to find a copy of Paul Horn's Columbia LP Cleopatra, and there it was in the new arrivals bin. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I did some Google searches on Horn (Wikipedia, etc.) and find it interesting that all bios gloss over his early life. All that's said is he was born in NYC. From the bios, you'd think he was born in Oberlin. I'll bet his family history is interesting...a lot of these new-age guys try to put their past behind them. Just a hunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) "Paul Joseph Horn was born in New York City on March 17, 1930, and began studying piano at 4, clarinet at 10 and saxophone at 12. He received a bachelor’s degree from the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music in Ohio and a master’s from the Manhattan School of Music." Yup, this is the stuff I read in every biography. I suspect there's a story there re his family. I hasten to add that I know none of this is my business. Just curious, that's all.
