COUNTY COMMISSIONER UJ MO WORKING FOR A BETTER SUMMIT COUNTY kvw fowl rr..l season firevjood Cut to Ltngtk " and i Delivered TIM CONVILLE 649-8814 -A U 0 LCOMPAIIYJ "Minton's" in Harlem wasn't the kind of place one would expect to give birth to historical change. It would be more than difficult to imagine the Continental Congress gathering at such a haunt, but another cadre of "revolutionaries", equally perturbed pertur-bed by" the status-quo, were to come together at "Minton's" in the early 1940s and change the course of that most esoteric of all American music, jazz. The names on their birth certificates would read John Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Kenny Clark, and ;Thelonious Monk, but among themselves they went by Dizzy, Birk, Klook, and Monk. There were others like Mary Lou Williams, Charlie, Christian, Ben Webster, Art Blakey, and even the already legendary Coleman Hawkins. The "jam-sessions" . would last all night, and like the musicians emerging the next morning, a jazz with different harmonic and tonal structures called "Bop" walked out into the ' blinding daylight of American culture. As the great .Dizzy Gillespie was to say in later years: "No one man or group of men started modern jazz", but it was the chordal arrangements of Gillespie and the improvisaaonal genius of Bird (Charlie Parker) that gave this musical seedling the strength to last through its first winter of maturity. These "jams" at Minton's were naturally community oriented, and it was an attempt to keep them such that would aid in the birth of "Bop". . ! "There were always some cats showing up there (Minton's) who couldn't blow at all," recalled Diz, "but would take six or seven choruses to prove it. So : on afternoons before a session, Thelpnious Monk and J began to work out some complex variations on chords and the like, and we used them at night to scare away the no-talent guys. After a while, we got more and more interested in what we were doing as music, and as we began to explore more and more, pur music evolved." The advent of Dizzy Gillespie would effect not only the trumpet's future, but the whole of jazz. As the great jazz writer-critic Leonard Feather would view it later: "Gillespie was able, through an unprecedented alliance of imagination and technique, to unleash a glittering waterfall of sixteenth notes, simultaneously implying, through his choice of notes, a more complex harmonic structure." Diz was involved in his great experiment away from Minton's also. His "day -gig" was as a member of the Cab Calloway band. Danny Barker, another member of Cab's group, remembers: "Well, Dizzy, and Milt Hinton, between those two-and-a-half hour shows at the Cotton Club, would retire to the roof. Dizzy would blow his new ideas in progressions and he and Hinton would experiment on different ideas and melodic patterns." Oftentimes these "woodshed" sessions continued into band time, and it seems ol Cab didn't appreciate anyone playing around with his arrangements. These "excesses" coupled with what some felt was a personality conflict between the two, caused a few arguments, the last of which reportedly ended with Diz applying a "slight scratch" to Cab with a knife. As you might imagine Diz was soon seeking other employment, He would later star with the Earl "Fatha" Hines band and influence a whole generation of jazz horn players: Howard McGhee, Kenny Dor ham, Red Rodney, Fats Navarro, Miles Davis (who was to take "bop" one step further into the "cool school" of the 5 Os), and the youthful Clifford Brown, whose blooming career came to a tragic end in a 1956 automobile accident. The Bird, along with Benny Greene, was also in this great Hines Band. Since those days Gillespie's Big bands and quintets have helped to further define the art. They were the "grand experimenters" and what a lively, exciting time it must have been. What Diz, Birk, Monk, Klook, Charlie Christian and the rest did was much more than break new ground; they came up with whole new soil, the flower of which is perennial. And now the announcement this column has been leading up to: John "Dizzy" Gillespie, the" musical genius who transformed his early trumpet influences, most notable Roy Eldridge, into a form that was to have a lasting and profound effect upon his ohosen art, will be appearing in concert at the Hotel Utah on the evening of November 10. Ticket information is available by calling the hotel. If you are a serious fan of any kind of music you should not blow this opportunity to witness the genius of "Dizzy" Gillespie. B.B.
