Jazz
Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with its roots in blues and ragtime. Since the 1920s Jazz Age, it has been recognized as a major form of musical expression in traditional and popular music. Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, complex chords, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation. Jazz has roots in European harmony and African rhythmic rituals. As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to different styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with collective polyphonic improvisation. But jazz did not begin as a single musical tradition in New Orleans or elsewhere. In the 1930s, arranged dance-oriented swing big bands, Kansas City jazz (a hard-swinging, bluesy, improvisationa ...

African-American Jazz Musicians
African Americans (also referred to as Black Americans and Afro-Americans) are an ethnic group consisting of Americans with partial or total ancestry from sub-Saharan Africa. The term "African American" generally denotes descendants of enslaved Africans who are from the United States. While some Black immigrants or their children may also come to identify as African-American, the majority of first generation immigrants do not, preferring to identify with their nation of origin. African Americans constitute the second largest racial group in the U.S. after White Americans, as well as the third largest ethnic group after Hispanic and Latino Americans. Most African Americans are descendants of enslaved people within the boundaries of the present United States. On average, African Americans are of West/ Central African with some European descent; some also have Native American and other ancestry. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, African immigrants generally do not self- ...

The Lounge Lizards Members
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with pronouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of pronoun ''thee'') when followed by a ...

Everybodys Mouth's A Book

The album was the first album on the Pi Recordings label and was released simultaneously with ''Up Popped the Two Lips'' by Threadgill's Zooid in 2001. Reception Both of Threadgill's initial Pi releases attracted critical approval. The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "This is deft footwork on the part of Threadgill as a leader, who lets his musicians shine and keeps them focused on the task at hand. ''Everybody's Mouth's a Book'' is as solid top to bottom as its companion release on Pi".Jurek, T. Allmusic Reviewaccessed February 12, 2010. The All About Jazz review by Glenn Astarita stated, "Henry Threadgill's importance to modern jazz cannot be denied, as there are few composers who possess such a distinguishable methodology to music in general".

The Gift (David "Fathead" Newman Album)
''The Gift'' is an album by saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman which was recorded in 2002 and released on the HighNote label the following year. Reception In his review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow states "Veteran saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman shows off his versatility on this pleasing soul-jazz date. He plays tenor on four selections and flute on two others, and switches to soprano and alto for one song apiece. ... this CD finds Fathead in prime form, and it is easily recommended to fans of his straight-ahead dates". In JazzTimes, David Franklin noted "At age 70, veteran saxophonist David “Fathead” Newman has not even begun to slow down. The Gift (HighNote) finds him still in command of all his considerable talents in a showcase for his soul-drenched tenor, some boppish alto, a bit of funky flute and some meditative soprano".Franklin, DJazzTimes Reviewaccessed November 16, 2018 Track listing All compositions by David "Fathead" Newman except where noted # "The Gift" – 5: ...

Davey Blue
''Davey Blue'' is an album by American saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman which was recorded in 2001 and released on the HighNote label early the following year. Reception In his review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow states: "This excellent session does a fine job of showing off David "Fathead" Newman's jazz talents. ... sounding at his prime on each of his instruments. Recommended". In JazzTimes, David Franklin noted "It’s hard to fault listeners for thinking of David “Fathead” Newman as only a great rhythm and blues tenor player, since many of his short solos on famous Ray Charles recordings have become classics in their own right. But Newman regrets that more people don’t realize he is at heart a straightahead, mainstream player who just happened to be there in the mid-’50s when Charles needed a Texas tenor. If his own previous releases didn’t set the record straight, ''Davey Blue'' just might".Franklin, DJazzTimes Reviewaccessed November 9, 2018 Track listing All com ...
