Charlie Haden
Charles Edward Haden (August 6, 1937 – July 11, 2014) was an American jazz double bass player, bandleader, composer and educator whose career spanned more than 50 years. In the late 1950s, he was an original member of the ground-breaking Ornette Coleman Quartet. Haden revolutionized the harmonic concept of bass playing in jazz. German musicologist Joachim-Ernst Berendt wrote that Haden's "ability to create serendipitous harmonies by improvising melodic responses to Coleman's free-form solos (rather than sticking to predetermined harmonies) was both radical and mesmerizing. His virtuosity lies (…) in an incredible ability to make the double bass 'sound out'. Haden cultivated the instrument's gravity as no one else in jazz. He is a master of simplicity which is one of the most difficult things to achieve." Haden played a vital role in this revolutionary new approach, evolving a way of playing that sometimes complemented the soloist and sometimes moved independently. In thi ...

Rambling Boy (Charlie Haden Album)
''Rambling Boy'' is an album by bassist Charlie Haden. It was recorded in January and April 2008 at various locations, and was released later that year by Decca Records, Decca and EmArcy Records, Emarcy Records. On the album, Haden is joined by his "Family & Friends," including members of his immediate family plus guest musicians. Although Haden is best known for his involvement in jazz, he began his musical career at age 2 as part of the Haden Family Band, playing the role of a yodeling cowboy. ''Rambling Boy'' came about when, at a gathering to celebrate his mother's 80th birthday, Haden's wife Ruth Cameron suggested that the family sing "You Are My Sunshine". The event revived an idea for a recording that had been in the back of Haden's mind for years. The album, which includes songs made famous by the Carter Family and Hank Williams as well as original and traditional pieces, features appearances by Haden's wife and children, as well as over a dozen guest musicians.

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sophisticated Ladies (album)
''Sophisticated Ladies'' is an album by Charlie Haden's Quartet West with guest vocalists Cassandra Wilson, Diana Krall, Melody Gardot, Norah Jones, Renee Fleming and Ruth Cameron, and a string orchestra arranged and conducted by Alan Broadbent which was released on the EmArcy label. Reception Allmusic awarded the album 3½ stars and said, "''Sophisticated Ladies'' does fall just short at times of mimicking a brand of saccharine faux-post-big-band jazz that flourished in the '50s and early '60s, but Haden and his team are too masterful to allow their tribute to lose its stylishness and, of course, its sophistication". Writing in ''The Guardian'', John Fordham observed, "Haden's patient lyricism and devotion to classic song melody always exhibit a disguised intensity and a flawless touch ... all the performances are touched by Haden's instinct for doing the right thing quietly".Fordham, JThe Guardian Review May 6, 2011 PopMatters' Steven Horowitz said, "Haden’s presence ...

Land Of The Sun (album)
''Land of the Sun'' is an album by American jazz musician Charlie Haden. In 2005, the album won Haden the Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album. Reception Music critic Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote of the album; "Land of the Sun is a deeply romantic album, but it is lush without artificial ornamentation or affectation. Musically, its refinement is such that it begs critical as well as casual listening. Hopefully this won't be the last such exercise from Haden and Rubalcaba, but an introduction."
