THE INDEPENDENT EAR
Insights, Reviews & Interviews
By Willard Jenkins
Quarterly
Vol. 2 No. 1
THE INDEPENDENT EAR Artist's POV (point-of-view) is an ongoing series of Q&A interviews with important members of the jazz community. Our POV last issue focused on NEA Jazz Master Chick Corea, drummer Lenny White, and guitarists Bill Connors and Al DiMeola on the rise & demise of one of the signature jazz fusion bands, Return to Forever. That POV followed our inaugural installment with bassist Stanley Clarke on the same subject as well as other aspects of his successful career.
In case you missed either of those POV installments you can still catch them in the Archives area of this web site.
The Clients area of this www.openskyjazz.com details my ongoing work with the NEA Jazz Masters on Tour (NEAJMOT) program through Arts Midwest. Phase One of NEAJMOT will conclude its funding cycle later this spring and we will have met our goal of fostering NEA Jazz Masters appearances in all 50 states! As part of ongoing work coordinating the NEAJMOT program I had the pleasure of making five site visits, in Nevada (Randy Weston), Florida (Chico Hamilton), Washington state (Jimmy Heath), Missouri (Paquito D'Rivera) and North Carolina (Louie Bellson).
During those site visits one of the great pleasures was hanging out with the Masters. Inevitably the tape recorder was clicked on during at least some of those conversations. Not only was it a pleasure hearing the Masters insights into these experiences at far-flung venues, but following three of the programs it was also quite enlightening to tap random audience members for their reaction to the audience experience. What follows is four of those conversations (you can catch plenty of Randy Weston elsewhere on this site regarding our ongoing efforts at publishing his completed autobiography African Rhythms, composed by Randy Weston, arranged by Willard Jenkins); and following each of these conversations are the random observations of the fans who experienced these Masters.
