mikeweil Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 (edited) When I look at jazz musicians' birthdays, the diversity of artists born between 1920 and 1930 appears to me as between traditionalists with both legs in the swing camp, bebop pioneers, cool cats, hardbop heroes, studio staffmembers and freedom founders. A few examples: 1920 - Charlie Parker, *Dave Brubeck, Eddie Chamblee, *Clark Terry, Paul Gonsalves, George Duvivier, Jimmy Forrest, Gil Fuller, Don Lamond, John LaPorta, John Lewis, Shelly Manne, Jerome Richardson, Curly Russell, Britt Woodman 1921 - Harry Babasin, George Barnes, *Candido Camero, Buddy Collette, Eddie Lockjaw Davis, *Herb Ellis, Tal Farlow, Errol Garner, *Jimmy Giuffre, Wardell Gray, *Chico Hamilton, *Jon Hendricks, *Hans Koller, *Yusef Lateef, Monk Montgomery, Chico O'Farrill, Mary Osborne, Paul Quinichette, Nelson Riddle, Ernie Royal, *Tony Scott, *Billy Taylor, Julius Watkins 1922 - Manny Albam, Ralph Burns, Johnny Carisi, *Von Freeman, Johnny Hartman, *Illinois Jacquet, Duke Jordan, Peggy Lee, *Mundell Lowe, Carmen McRae, Charles Mingus, Joe Newman, Johnny Otis, *Cecil Payne, Oscar Pettiford, King Pleasure, Perez Prado, A.K. Salim, Buddy Stewart, Ralph Sutton, *Toots Thielemans, *Frank Wess, *Gerald Wiggins, Joe Wilder, Ernie Wilkins, Kai Winding 1923 - Serge Chaloff, *Buddy DeFranco Red Garland, Dexter Gordon, Bennie Green, Al Haig, *Percy Heath, Elmo Hope, Milt Jackson, Osie Johnson, Philly Joe Jones, Thad Jones, Barney Kessel, Ellis Larkins, *Charlie Mariano, Fats Navarro, Mel Powell, *George Russell, Idrees Sulieman, Wilbur Ware, Chuck Wayne, Jimmy Witherspoon 1924 - Joe Albany, *Louis Bellson, Brew Moore, *Lucky Thompson, Kenny Dorham, Teddy Edwards, *Terry Gibbs, Major Holley, Jay Jay Johnson, Tiny Kahn, *Dick Katz, Henry Mancini, Hal McKusick, Bud Powell, Shorty Rogers, Charlie Rouse, Sonny Stitt, Sarah Vaughan, George Wallington, Dinah Washington 1925 - Gene Ammons, Walter Bolden, Charlie Byrd, June Christy, Bob Cooper, Al Cohn, Gigi Gryce, Wilbur Harden, Jutta Hipp, Stan Levey, Johnny Mandel, Dodo Marmarosa, Wes Montgomery, *James Moody, Marty Paich, Leo Parker, Art Pepper, *Oscar Peterson, Nat Pierce, Tito Puente, Henri Renaud, *Max Roach, Sal Salvador, *Gunther Schuller, Sahib Shihab, Zoot Sims, *Jimmy Smith, Cal Tjader, Mel Tormé, George Wein, Sam Woodyard 1926 - Ray Brown, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Jimmy Cleveland, Ray Copeland, Curtis Counce, *Blossom Dearie, *Lou Donaldson, *Roy Haynes, *Jimmy Heath, Ernie Henry, Bobby Jaspar, Melba Liston, Billy Mitchell, Pony Poindexter, Frank Rosolino, *Fats Sadi, *Bud Shank, Herbie Steward, Mal Waldron, *Randy Weston 1927 - Ahmed Abdul-Malik, *Mose Allison, *Ernie Andrews, Walter Bishop, Ruby Braff, *Chris Connor, Sonny Criss, Allan Eager, Stan Getz, *Dick Hyman, *Elvin Jones, Connie Kay, Jimmy Knepper, *Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh, Gerry Mulligan, Gene Quill, Jimmy Raney, Red Rodney, Mongo Santamaria, Thornel Schwartz, *Doc Severinsen, *Martial Solal, René Thomas, Attila Zoller 1928 - Cannonball Adderley, *Larry Bunker, Frank Butler, *Teddy Charles, Kenny Drew, Art Farmer, Maynard Ferguson, *Frank Foster, Vernel Fournier, *Herb Geller, *Johnny Griffin, Vince Guaraldi, Hampton Hawes, Harold Land, *Lou Levy, *Junior Mance, *Albert Mangelsdorff, Cal Massey, *Joe Morello, Seldon Powell, Freddie Redd, Bill Russo, *Horace Silver, *Leroy Vinegar, Lem Winchester, *Jimmy Woode, *Richard Wyands 1929 - *Toshiko Akiyoshi, Chet Baker, *Ray Barretto, *Bob Brookmeyer, *Jimmy Cobb, Alan Dawson, Bill Evans, *Benny Golson, *Barry Harris, *Rolf Kühn, Mel Lewis, *Larance Marable, *Helen Merrill, Charles Moffett, Joe Pass, *Charli Persip, *André Previn, *Sonny Rollins, *Ed Shaughnessy 1930 - Pepper Adams, *David Amram, Clifford Brown, Betty Carter, *Ornette Coleman, Eddie Costa, Tommy Flanagan, *Friedrich Gulda, *Bill Henderson, *Paul Horn, *Ahmad Jamal, Richie Kamuca, *Abbey Lincoln, Herbie Mann, Sabu Martinez, Dave McKenna, Blue Mitchell, Hank Mobley, *Buddy Montgomery, Claus Ogerman, *Benny Powell, *Annie Ross * marks those who are still with us, AFAIK, please correct me, and additions to the list are welcome. For me this decade is somehow the history of jazz from traditional to free in a nutshell. It always strikes me John Coltrane and Ruby Braff were born only a year apart, or Charlie Mariano the same year as Fats Navarro ... What do y'all think? Edited December 26, 2003 by mikeweil Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 You might add Von Freeman to 1922. Quote
mikeweil Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Posted November 17, 2003 I knew I'd omit someone important! I'll keep the list updated, thanks for corrections. Quote
Quincy Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 (edited) Doc Severinsen (1927) is still alive. He was listed as a surviving sibbling in his sister's obituary which appeared in our local paper in couple of months ago. Edited November 17, 2003 by Quincy Quote
brownie Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Zoot Sims is listed in 1925. But not Al Cohn. Born the same year. Those two go together Quote
mikeweil Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Posted November 17, 2003 I based my first list on the revised edition of Feather's Encyclopedia and overlooked the Cohn entry; when I typed Sims, I said to myself "have to look up Cohn, but it was too late at night for my weary head to remember ... Now what do you all think about the characteristics of that birth decade? Quote

brownie Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Now what do you all think about the characteristics of that birth decade? A very impressive list. But I am from an older generqaion and always thought that the 20th Century's first decade had also produced quite an impressive list. Here is what I came up with in a relatively short time (hard pressed for time right now and I am sure that quite a number of big names are missing): Henry Allen - Albert Ammons - Ivie Anderson - Jimmy Archey - Louis Armstrong - Buster Bailey - Mildred Bailey - Ray Bauduc - Bix Beiderbecke - Bunny Berrigan - Sidney Catlett - Shirley Clay - Cozy Cole - Eddie Condon - Bud Freeman - Stephane Grapelli - Edmond Hall - Lionel Hampton - Milt Hinton - Budd Johnson (and brother Keg) - Jonah Jones - Louis Jordan - Max Kaminsky - John Kirby - Eddie Lang (and Joe Venuti) - Jimmy McPartland - Louis Metcalf - Bubber Miley - Jelly Roll Morton -Phil Napoleon -Red Norvo - Hot Lips Page - Walter Page - Ward Pinkett - Sammy Price - Ben Pollack - Jack Purvis - Django Reinhardt - Pee Wee Russell - Muggfsy Spanier - Jess Stacy - Rex Stewart - Joe Sullivan - Frank Teschemaker - Frankie Trumbauer - Arthur Wetsol - Fats Waller - Chick Webb - Paul Webster - Mary Lou Williams, TENORS ANYONE? Chu Berry - Happy Caldwell - Hershel Evans - Coleman Hawkins - Lester Young SOME SMITH? Ben - Buster - Jabbo - Pine Top -Stuff - Tab - Willie (not the Lion) SOME THOMAS? Foots - Joe (JR Morton sax player) - Joe (Lunceford sax player) - Joe (trumpet player) MORE TROMBONES? Lawrence Brown - Jimmy Harrison - Benny Morton - Tricky Sam Nanton - Juan Tizol - Dicky Wells - Sandy Williams SOME ALTOS? Buster Smith - Bennie Carter - Johnny Hodges - Charlie Holmes -Hilton Jefferson- Russell Procope - Rudy Powell, BANDLEADERS? Count Basie - Cab Calloway - Jimmy Dorsey - Tommy Dorsey - Benny Goodman - Glenn Miller - Don Redman - Luis Russell - Artie Shaw Any point in comparing? Let's just enjoy good music from any era Quote
Brad Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Who is A.K. Salim (b. 1922)? I'd recommend A.K. Salim's Pretty for the People, reissued by Savoy a couple of years ago. You may still be able to pick it up. Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 Gigi Gryce is 1925 not 1927. Mike Quote
Jim R Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 (edited) * Barney Kessel, 1923 Joe Pass, 1929 ============ afaik, *Herb Ellis (see 1921) and *Mundell Lowe (see 1922) are still alive... Edited November 19, 2003 by Jim R Quote
mikeweil Posted November 19, 2003 Author Report Posted November 19, 2003 ... and always thought that the 20th Century's first decade had also produced quite an impressive list. ... Any point in comparing? Let's just enjoy good music from any era Well, you list musicians born between 1890 (Jelly Roll Morton) and 1919, so the comparison does not quite apply. I think this one decade produced MORE musicians shaping the music, and the range of the music they practiced is much broader: from trad to free. And it reflects the attractivity a life as a jazz musician must have had for young cats growing up in the swing era. I enjoy these elders too, of course Quote

I'm too lazy ... I´ll do it for you, when I have time I extracted my list from my database on Access. It´s a handmade one with almost 3.000 jazz artists/orchestras (virtually all with date of birth/death), and more than 16.000 songs (virtually all with composer/s data). I have a lot of data for each CD, but no specific information for each session : I enter "collective personnel" for each CD and a recording date like "1955 (55-59)" for sessions from 1955 to 1959.

brownie Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 Well, you list musicians born between 1890 (Jelly Roll Morton) and 1919 The Jelly Roll inclusion was a typo. Stupid mistake As mentioned at the start of the post, this was done very quickly. Think the rest of the list is accurate for musicians born between 1900 and 1910. Who's from 1919. If you refer to Tab Smith as being born in 1919 (as listed by EKE BBB), my reference books list him as being born in 1909 -_- Quote
mikeweil Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Posted November 20, 2003 Brownie - didn't want to be picky, didn't have the time for an closer look, so you maybe right, and I was too fast. Tab Smith was indeed born in 1909. Thanks EKE BBB - nice job. 1909 was a great year! Quote
mikeweil Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Posted November 20, 2003 If I'm correct, the only still alive born before 1920 are George Shearing and Al McKibbon? Quote
mikeweil Posted December 26, 2003 Author Report Posted December 26, 2003 I added Buddy de Franco and Don Lamond (R.I.P.) - please correct me if i missed anyone's passing that I marked as still among us. Quote
mikeweil Posted December 26, 2003 Author Report Posted December 26, 2003 If I'm correct, the only still alive born before 1920 are George Shearing and Al McKibbon? Barrett Deems is still active as well. Quote
sidewinder Posted December 26, 2003 Report Posted December 26, 2003 If I'm correct, the only still alive born before 1920 are George Shearing and Al McKibbon? Plus Gerald Wilson and Hank Jones... Quote
