NEW YORK

G oing over our records for the past several months has revealed a fascinating
New York@Night
fact: our last three cover story subjects were either born, grew up or made their
name in Detroit, Michigan. This month, Barry Harris (pg. 9) makes four in a row!
Perhaps we should change our name to AllAboutJazz-Detroit or at least set up a
satellite publication there to honor one of Americas great jazz cities.
But another thing we can take from this trend is that New York is still the
destination of choice for jazz people from Detroit to Delhi, Michigan to Mexico.
Even after the more-full-than-usual holiday jazz season and a successful
International Association of Jazz Educators Conference (where for a moment you
almost felt like jazz had more than a 3% market share), the bitter winds of
February in New York cant keep good jazz down. Besides a week with Barry
Harris, Los Angelino Gerald Wilson (Interview, pg. 6), who also grew up in
Detroit, comes into town for three nights at Jazz at Lincoln Center. From another
great city - Chicago - we get a rare appearance by percussionist Kahil ElZabar
(Artist Feature, pg. 7). Joe Wilder, a jazz veteran since the 40s, shows you can
teach an old dog new tricks when he makes his first ever New York appearance
as a leader and at Village Vanguard no less!
On a sad note, we ask that you remember the legacy of one of the great
international musicians - one who certainly opened up the boundaries of jazz over
the years - guitarist Derek Bailey, who passed away Christmas Day 2005 (In
Memoriam, pg. 13).
Filling out this months coverage are profiles on two segments of the do-ityourself school of jazz: Dave Douglas artist-run record label Greenleaf and the
low-tech but high quality performance venue ABC No Rio (both on pg. 8).
So we know its February and it should be freezing. Until it becomes so or
even after it does, take some time to listen to a new CD (weve got plenty of
recommendations starting pg. 14) or see a show (browse our Event Calendar
beginning on pg. 32). Well be happy to join you...

The
organization.
It will be the first time in close to a decade that
Silwula has had more than the occasional Sunday
night off. He has organized the open music series
C.O.M.A. for eight years, hosting two or three acts a
night for a mere $3 donation. All the money goes to the
musicians (Siwula pointed out that his only payment
has been a few cold feet and some sniffles) and the
only real requirement to play there is to ask.
Its not really meant for the indie rock scene or
the folk singer scene, but I dont tell them no, he
said. I usually let that sort itself out. I dont want to
be the guy that says No, that wont work. I just say
think about it. Some people dont like what I do, they

yourself completely from your beginnings.
When Harris wanted to learn soloing, it was Bud
Powell and the recording Web City with Sonny Stitt,
Fats Navarro and Max Roach on drums that he
listened to. I slowed that record down...It ended up
where I started listening to him. He was the best one of
all of them as far as this music was concerned. ...Cootie
Williams must have been a helluva nice leader because
he let him, Bud Powell, solo all the way through some
of his records.

VO X NEW S
by Tessa Souter
J anuary was an interesting month - one of the
highlights being fellow Brit Christine Tobin, who Id
never seen before, at Joes Pub. She was fantastic, with
a wonderful smoky Bonny Raitt-like voice, interesting
arrangements and superb originals with amazing
lyrics. Also interesting is a beautiful new CD, A Glance
(LoNote Records) by Maryanne De Prophetis, which
she recorded with her husband pianist Frank
Kimbrough and Ron Horton on flugelhorn. It features
very simple and beautiful songs - all composed and
arranged by her - which perfectly suit her rather
delicate, fragile voice. Pyeng Threadgills alloriginals, kind of quirky (in a good way) CD Of the Air
(Random Chance) is also perfectly suited to her vocal
instrument, which makes sense since she wrote most
of the songs. And speaking of interesting, I really want
to check out cabaret queen Barb Jungr - often called a
British Piaf - who will be singing the songs of Elvis at
Joes Pub (Feb. 5th).
This month promises to be just what we need to
cheer up wintry February with three amazing vocal
jazz legends - Jimmy Scott, Mark Murphy and Andy
Bey - performing within days of each other. Iridium
presents Billie Holidays favorite singer Scott (Feb.
9th-12th) followed by a favorite of Ella Fitzgerald,
Verve recording artist and six-time Grammy nominee
Murphy (Feb. 16th-19th). Recent Grammy nominee
Bey (who shared the stage with Sarah Vaughan and
Dinah Washington before he was even 18) will be part
of the Tuesday night series at Sweet Rhythm to
celebrate Valentines Day (Feb. 14th). I will definitely
be there to worship all three of them. I also want to go
hear Carmen Lundy, vocalist and composer, at
Iridium (Feb. 23rd-26th), in support of her wonderful
new double CD of original songs recorded live (the
best way to experience this singer) in Los Angeles, Jazz
and the New Songbook: Live at the Madrid Theater
(Afrasia). See you there.

Joe Wilder
by Greg Thomas
J oe Wilder, a true
living legend of the
trumpet, is at long last
getting what fellow
brass
great
Roy
Eldridge used to call
50s
90s
his screen credits.
After 60+ years of superlative support work in big
bands, Broadway pit orchestras and commercials,
Wilder is finally headlining his own quartet at the
Village Vanguard.
He says in fact that its the first time hes ever led
a group in New York City under his own name. A
long-time Harlem resident, Wilder is no stranger to
playing in town however. I used to jam at Mintons in
the 50s. And there was a club on 110th and 8th
Avenue, I think called The Flame where Big Nick
Nicholas led a group. Everyone loved him. Hot Lips
Page and other great musicians from across the
country would come in and jam.
Wilder was born in Colwyn, Penn. on February
22nd, 1922 into a musical family including his father
Curtis, a bassist and bandleader in Philadelphia.
Curtis Jr., Wilders older brother, also played bass. On
July 1st, 2004, as the guest of the Jazz Museum in
Harlems Harlem Speaks series, Wilder explained that
although he was initially attracted to the trombone, his
father bought a cornet for him and began to take him
to some of his dance jobs. Wilder recalled overhearing
the orchestras first trumpeter, Fred Beckett, grumble,
Oh my God, here comes Wilder with that damn kid
again!
His fast progress led to a regular feature on a
weekly childrens radio program in Philadelphia
called the Parisian Tailors Colored Kiddies of the Air. The
youngsters were backed by bands appearing at the
Lincoln Theater, including Duke Ellington and Cab
Calloway. I would be playing the first trumpet part of
some popular tune - just reading it note for note. And
these bands would be playing backgrounds for us!
Wilder had an early encounter with Louis Armstrong
on one of these occasions. He was awfully nice to me.
He gave me a pass and said, You come and see Louis
every day. Pops remembered the young trumpeter
from the broadcast in later years: He always
encouraged me and I think he was proud of the fact
that I made it in the studios, Wilder recalls.
He studied at the Mastbaum School of Music in
Philadelphia. Early on he was drawn to classical music
but soon realized that a career in the symphony was

orchestrator also played tenor
sax and bass with the likes of
Gerry Mulligan, Bill Holman
and Henry Mancini before his
death Nov. 19th at age 85.
Harry Gold
A 1919 Original Dixieland Jazz
show solidified his desire to be
a

band, Pieces of Eight, died
Nov. 13th. He was 98.
Ken Mackintosh
The British bandleader and sax

Mackintosh died Nov. 22nd.
Mike Mikell
Whitney Houston got her start
at his Upper West Side club. A
jazz, R&B and literary hub in

passed away Nov. 18th at 80.
Jamie Hodgson
A shot of Dizzy Gillespie

KIRK LIGHTSEY
February 15, 1937
Best known as an
accompanist, the pianist
recorded with Sonny Stitt
in the early 60s after
moving to the West Coast
from Detroit by way of
New York. He worked
with Chet Baker and later
joined Dexter Gordons
band. As a member of the
Leaders and with his own
trio, Lightsey proves to be
a charismatic soloist and
leader in his own right.
