object width="425" height="344"> A classic bop pianist and a composer of haunting melodies, Freddie Redd has had an episodic career, with high points followed by periods in which he maintained a low profile. After a period in the Army (1946-49), Redd worked with drummer Johnny Mills and then in New York played with Tiny Grimes (with whom he recorded), Cootie Williams, Oscar Pettiford and the Jive Bombers. Redd, who appeared with both jazz and early R&B groups, recorded his debut as a leader for Prestige in 1955 (reissued in the OJC series), appeared on dates led by Gene Ammons and Art Farmer, and toured Sweden in 1956 with Ernestine Anderson and Rolf Ericson, cutting an obscure trio set in Sweden for the Metronome label. When he returned to the U.S., Redd settled for a time in San Francisco, where he worked as the house pianist at Bop City and recorded for Riverside. He found his greatest fame when he wrote the music for the play The Connection. He acted and played in the landmark show in New York, London and Paris, was in the film, and recorded the music for Blue Note, the first of his three sessions for the label (all of which were reissued on a Mosaic limited-edition box set as two-CD sets). Unfortunately, there were no encore writing assignments, and Redd soon moved to Europe, where he performed regularly but became quite obscure in the U.S. In 1974, he moved to Los Angeles, but despite worthy sessions for Interplay (1977), Uptown (1985), Triloka (1988) and Milestone (1990), Freddie Redd remains an underrated great, still playing in his prime without gaining much recognition. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

JAZZ REVIEW - A Tribute To Charlie Parker by Freddie Redd
History repeats itself as Bird lives again in the piano artistry of Freddie Redd
Concert Review by: John Gilbert
Venue: Michael D's Jazz Club (Camarillo, CA)
August 9, 2003 - To call last nights performance a 'gig' is like calling the Bolshoi Ballet a dance team from Russia.
A very expensive lithograph of Charlie Parker was on display near the bandstand and it was more than just decoration it was a reminder that this presentation was honoring a man who changed the course of musical history with his genius.
Freddie Redd was right in the middle of the NYC bop scene and was privy to the likes of Bird, Bud Powell, Dizzy et al. Redd is the essence of Powell in spirit but the soulful artistry is his alone. Freddie Redd has turned comping in to an art form. His solos are marked by blistering arpeggios and a 'touch' that one has to be born with. The ballad style of this legendary jazz figure has a sweetness that is reminiscent of Tadd Dameron. As Redd sits hunched over the Piano creating magical sounds and a bit of fury, the audience is transfixed by his mastery and explodes into thunderous applause on the final note.
God has wisely prevented mere man from describing 'sound', it has to be heard to convey the sense and feeling. Woodsheds will be occupied by all Pianists who were at this extravaganza. The standard has been set.
Zane Musa drains and wrenches the bottom out of every chorus. He is an edgy player whose energetic style reflects his raw emotion and it worked nicely within the context of this group. I might add that he was aided and abetted by the comping of Redd (as were all of the players) Musa brings it all to the table and it is served up in furious style. Nothing is held back as he 'gets after it' with abandon.
Kevin Tullius is in a class by himself, he is a Drummer of exquisite taste and why not? He plays every instrument in existence which gives him rare insight into the most efficient manner and means to swing to the absolute maximum. Freddie Redd was clearly captivated by his (Tullius') exceptional skill. Redd was cleverly into an 'appogiatura' mode in his interplay with this Drummer. It worked gloriously.
Pat Senatore, he of the velvet sound and the perfect time was the heartbeat of it all and his solos were feats of dexterity, style, and most importantly substance.
Sal Marquez was a most important asset to this ensemble. On the unison parts with Musa it reflected the Bird / Dizzy feel to perfection. Marquez's solos were refulgent and inventive.
The initial set opened with "Scrapple From The Apple" and it was bop heaven from then on. The pervading ambiance was stunning as this tune rocketed into cyberspace. Everyone soloed and the four bar exchanges were dramatic as each player parlayed his time at bat with missionary zeal.
"All The Things You Are" was truly the angels glow that lights the stars. Redd was spellbinding in his pianistic mysticism. One could close their eyes and hear musical provenance in the making as Bud Powell's presence was felt through Redd's power and influence. Zane Musa was into this tune like a hungry dog on a ham sandwich and he ate it up.
"Night And Day" found the piano comping and romping. Marquez was looking speculatively at Redd's magical chord work, and smiling, he put the horn to his lips and blew the house down.
"Lover Come Back To Me" was pure unadulterated NYC BeBop from top to bottom.
"Now's The Time" and it was the time as everyone swung. Senatore's thought provoking solo brought applause from the gathered. litterati as well as the gliteratti.
"Round Midnight" was all that this night promised in one tune, as everyone put total effort into making it work splendidly.
"Cherokee" is still orbiting the universe.. up there with space stations and Mickey Mantle homerun blasts.
Suffice it to say, the past was honored in magnificent fashion by this group of stimulating musicians.
Bird, in his rich voice must have said "My worthy constituents, you have paid me homage and I thank you". And so does everyone who was at this performance. It was real jazz.
Freddie Redd's improvisational genius is unparalleled....

INSPIRATIONAL CORNER
Uncle Hugh 'Peanuts' Whalum is my 80 year-old uncle who has FORGOTTEN more about jazz than I've even learned yet! He released his CD "Introducing Hugh 'Peanuts' Whalum" after gigging in the St. Louis scene for over 55 years! Needless to say his voice, his saxophone, his piano... like a fine, aged Merlot. His energy?! I dare not try and keep up. I'm on stage falling asleep by the time he gets going good – cut from a different cloth. Arnette, Coleman, Hamp, Hank... fine cloth.
Why do I bring them up? Because they represent something really important that we now get to enjoy, like they did back then, but now through technology on sites like this, that we've been missing.
The good news, since family – in this case JAZZ FAMILY – and relationships are much more important, more fulfilling... is that I feel RICHER knowing and following you guys music on THE JAZZ NETWORK!
Sincerely,
Kirk WHALUM

SPOTLIGHTED ARTISTS
Finding THE JAZZ NETWORK has been an amazing experience for Musique Noire. The opportunity to not only gain exposure among the jazz community, but to also learn and network with others in the jazz world has been invaluable. It is a place where we are all treated equally, whether one is a major label act or an indie artist, whether one plays traditional jazz or any of the "branches" of the jazz Family "tree".
Musique Noire is honored to be spotlighted here and are deeply grateful to Jaijai for creating this wonderful world. We're here to stay!
~ Musique Noire
Jaijai, what a wonderful mission you've undertaken to create such a place for artistic minds to meet and share their hearts. A place to renew faded determinations, and revive lessened momentums. A place to display our wares and reconfirm to one another that we actually are on the right track.
I commend you, Jaijai, for caring so much that you created this castle of the heart for all of us. I want to share my praise for all of the new friends as well as old friends that I've met and will meet here in our castle. Here we can garnish the where-with-all, the strength, the conviction, and the selflessness through our symbiosis, to share our gift to the world with an unbiased agenda.
My mentor, Daisaku Ikeda says of art: "A beautiful flower delights and refreshes the hearts of all people equally, no matter what soil it grows in. That is the power of beauty. The same is true of great art. It is this spirit that the German poet Heinrich Heine sang of when he wrote that once the peapod bursts open, the sugar peas inside are for everyone to enjoy."
Let's be audacious, my friends!

"It was a pleasure to be featured on the Jazz Network Main Page. This Network is a unique forward step for independence, contact and conversation between artist, promoters/agents and fans.
Thank you Jaijai for offering a professional meeting place. I've met new musicians and rediscovered old friends I haven't seen or heard from in years. May we all continue to expand this network.
~ Will Calhoun
"I think that what Jaijai Jackson has done with the Jazz Network shows how the eternal love for this music is passed down from generation to generation. The fire her father lit in her has burned brightly and has inspired her to pass this torch on to future generations. I'm very proud to be featured and I'm very happy that Jazz has a voice and spirit like Jaijai looking after it."
~ Ron Kearns
I am so honored to be on The Jazz Network with so many wonderful and dedicated musicians. Jazz is the truly American art form and as I travel to other countries I find that their appreciation for jazz is really uplifting. There are so many excellent jazz musicians around the world now and The Jazz Network is helping us to find each other. Thank goodness for people like Jaijai who have dedicated so much time and effort to keep the jazz community together and for opening doors to us that we may never have found.
Regarding education in jazz, having done Master Classes in many places I find students need to take time and learn from the Masters and LISTEN. They should go back in history to appreciate ALL styles of jazz and its development. They need to learn melodies and lyrics (yes, even instrumentalists need to know lyrics) and that jazz is not just a series of modes and riffs. I think The Jazz Network can be an excellent tool for that also.
Thank you Jaijai...you are awesome!
~ Lenore Raphael
"Thank you Jaijai for creating a space for the likes of me! I truly enjoy being featured here and really hope it can give me new contacts and opportunities.
Keep up the good work!"

"The Jazz Network has come into being at just the right time. I believe that we are forever in need of spiritual and artistic enrichment and the way I see it, music, particularly jazz music, is all about the spirit. The Jazz Network allows us to reach out to our fellow artists across the world, in a way that has not been seen before, enlightening us as to who's out there making hip and happening music and helping to shape the culture. Whether artists approach this music from traditional perspectives or attempt to create new and radical sub-genres of jazz, the Jazz Network
is providing exposure, performance and recording opportunities that we might never have found on our own.
The Jazz Network is an amazing resource for the Jazz community. I'm
honored and happy to be a part of it.
Jaijai, thanks for your faith and what you're doing for the jazz community"
Best,
Nicolas
It’s a rare occasion when you meet someone who you feel a real connection to … Someone who possesses a kind spirit, unyielding generosity and a dedication to the jazz community beyond expectations.
Jaijai, thank you so much for creating such a fantastic website for the jazz community. You’ve helped artists connect with each other around the world.
I’m proud to have The Jazz Network be the first site to promote my latest recording. Words cannot express my gratitude to you for your dedication to the music and the artists.
With much love and gratitude,
Denise Donatelli
Hi Jaijai,
Stopping by to show you some love and tell you just how much I appreciate all you've been doing here, not just for me but for this incredible community of jazz musicians. I see that The Jazz Network is growing in leaps and bounds daily and want you to know that I recognize the importance of what's going on here, musicians having a place to connect with each other, young musicians having a place to meet and be mentored by musicians who have been around the block. You've created a beautiful space here and it's obvious that folks are feeling very much at home. Thanks for sharing your time, your heart, your soul. This is a huge commitment and you've taken it on with such determination. I wish you and The Jazz Network continued success and support you in all you're doing.
