Bobby Hutcherson Dies at 75
Quote:
Bobby Hutcherson, one of the most important vibraphonists in jazz history, and a musician-composer who helped define the more interactive and exploratory nature of postbop in the 1960s, died at his home in Montara, Calif., on Aug. 15, after a long battle with emphysema, according to a representative of his family.
|
Saw him about 10 years ago at the Beantown Jazz Fest in Boston. Was hoping he would make his way to the Newport Jazz Fest since then, but alas, it was not to be.
Here are some tracks from one of my favorite blues-informed modal jazz dates of his, 1968's Stick Up, with McCoy Tyner on piano and Joe Henderson on tenor sax, with a pretty rolicking take on Ornette Coleman's "Una Muy Bonita."

Bobby Hutcherson - Blues Mind Matter

RIP, Mr. Hutcherson. 2016 takes yet another great musician...

Re: BREAKING: Sometimes Famous People Die
Damn shame he died. I wish he would've lived long enough to serve out the entirety of his sentence. Also, never knew he went to prison for running a Ponzi scheme. There is a small part of me that is amused by the fact that his swindling is mere peanuts compared to what Bernie Madoff swindled out of his victims.

Re: BREAKING: Sometimes Famous People Die
Steven Hill, probably best known to younger audiences for his role on Law & Order as Adam Schiff and to older audiences for his role on Mission: Impossible as Daniel Briggs, has died at age 94.
Also dead is pianist Irving Fields at age 101. Fields made the interesting choice of combining Jewish music traditions with Latin rhythms. Lawyers, Guns & Money has selected videos of his work.
R.I.P. to both of them.

Rudy Van Gelder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quote:
Regarded as the most important recording engineer of jazz by some observers,[1] Van Gelder recorded several thousand jazz sessions, including many recognized as classics, in a career which spanned more than half a century. Van Gelder recorded many of the great names in the genre, including John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, and Horace Silver, among many others.

Re: BREAKING: Sometimes Famous People Die
From Rolling Stone's obit for renowned jazz recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder:
Quote:
Van Gelder often reiterated throughout his career that his duties differed from that of a producer; he didn't arrange the group's lineups or tell them what to play. Instead, he was charged with bolstering the sessions with the trademark vibrant, textured and robust Van Gelder sound that gave the recordings its depth.
"When people talk about my albums, they often say the music has 'space.' I tried to reproduce a sense of space in the overall sound picture," Van Gelder once said (via New York Times). "I used specific microphones located in places that allowed the musicians to sound as though they were playing from different locations in the room, which in reality they were. This created a sensation of dimension and depth."
The engineer remained active over the ensuing decades. Later in life, as digital technology seeped into the music industry, Van Gelder revisited the jazz classics to oversee their digital remastering, resulting in the Van Gelder Editions.
|
Not everyone thought Van Gelder's remastering effort was necessary or even a good thing, but I have enjoyed the alternative bonus tracks that have found their way onto a lot of the remastered works. IMHO, they are several orders of magnitude better than many digital remasterings of vinyl from the rock, blues and metal genres...
The ubiquity of Rudy Van Gelder's work -- the tracks from Bobby Hutcherson's Stick Up! I posted just a few days ago to mark Hutcherson's passing were among the recordings made at Van Gelder Studio.
As was Coltrane's A Love Supreme.

Re: BREAKING: Sometimes Famous People Die
Phyllis Schlafly is dead. I feel like it’s a good time to quote Byron’s epitaph for Castlereagh (i.e., “Posterity will ne’er survey / A nobler grave than this / Here lie the bones of Castlereagh / Stop, traveller, and piss”). It’s rather a shame that I don’t have any alcohol or illegal substances to celebrate with. Even though I don’t drink alcohol and haven’t used drugs for at least five years, it seems like the sort of thing that should be done to commemorate her death. It would also be a good night to have premarital sex, but that doesn’t seem likely to happen in the immediate future either. A pity. I’ll settle for watching porn, I guess, and I’ll try to make it something with lesbians and/or bisexual women in it. Preferably interracial too. Hopefully someone else here can make up for me by doing something more hedonistic.
e:
e2: A commenter on LGM suggested I donate to Planned Parenthood in her memory. Good idea. I suggest everyone else do likewise.
e3: why on earth did I forget to post this video?
