AFTER FOUR DECADES IN THE INTERNATIONAL SPOTLIGHT, THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF SAXOPHONIST BRANFORD MARSALIS CONTINUE TO GROW. After four decades in the international spotlight, the achievements of saxophonist Branford Marsalis continue to grow. From his initial recognition as a young jazz lion, he has expanded his vision as an instrumentalist, composer, bandleader and educator, crossing stylistic boundaries while maintaining an unwavering creative integrity. In the process, he has become a multi award-winning artist with three Grammys, a citation by the National Endowment for the Arts as a Jazz Master and an avatar of contemporary artistic excellence. Growing up in the rich environment of New Orleans as the oldest son of pianist and educator, the late Ellis Marsalis, Branford was drawn to music along with siblings Wynton, Delfeayo and Jason. The Branford Marsalis Quartet, formed in 1986, remains his primary means of expression. In its virtually uninterrupted three-plus decades of existence, the Quartet has established a rare breadth of stylistic range as demonstrated on the band’s latest release: The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul. But Branford has not confined his music to the jazz quartet context. A frequent soloist with classical ensembles, Branford has become increasingly sought after as a featured soloist with acclaimed orchestras around the world, performing works by composers such as Copeland, Debussy, Glazunov, Ibert, Mahler, Milhaud, Rorem, Vaughan Williams and Villa-Lobos. And his legendary guest performances with the Grateful Dead and collaborations with Sting have made him a fan favorite in the pop arena. His work on Broadway has garnered a Drama Desk Award and Tony nominations for the acclaimed revivals of Children of a Lesser God, Fences, and A Raisin in the Sun. His screen credits include original music composed for: Spike Lee’s Mo’ Better Blues, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks starring Oprah Winfrey and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom starring Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman. Ma Rainey is the Netflix film adaptation of two-time Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson’s play, produced by Denzel Washington and released in December 2020. Branford has also shared his knowledge as an educator, forming extended teaching relationships at Michigan State, San Francisco State and North Carolina Central Universities and conducting workshops at sites throughout the United States and the world. After the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina, Branford, along with friend Harry Connick, Jr. Conceived of “Musicians’ Village, ” a residential community in the Upper Ninth Ward of New Orleans. The centerpiece of the Village is the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music, honoring Branford’s father. The Center uses music as the focal point of a holistic strategy to build a healthy community and to deliver a broad range of services to underserved children, youth and musicians from neighborhoods battling poverty and social injustice. Branford Marsalis (born August 26, 1960) is an American saxophonist, composer, and bandleader. Classical and Broadway projects: 2008-10. As sideman or guest. Marsalis was born in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. He is the son of Dolores (née Ferdinand), a jazz singer and substitute teacher, and Ellis Louis Marsalis, Jr. A pianist and music professor. [1][2] His brothers Jason Marsalis, Wynton Marsalis, and Delfeayo Marsalis are also jazz musicians. In mid-1980, while still a Berklee College of Music student, Marsalis toured Europe playing alto and baritone saxophone in a large ensemble led by drummer Art Blakey. Other big band experiences with Lionel Hampton and Clark Terry followed over the next year, and by the end of 1981 Marsalis, on alto saxophone, had joined his brother Wynton in Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. Other performances with his brother, including a 1981 Japanese tour with Herbie Hancock, led to the formation of his brother Wynton’s first quintet, where Marsalis shifted his emphasis to soprano and tenor saxophones. He continued to work with Wynton until 1985, a period that also saw the release of his own first recording, Scenes in the City, as well as guest appearances with other artists including Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie. Branford Marsalis at Monterey Jazz Festival 1992. In 1985, he joined Sting, singer and bassist of rock band the Police, on his first solo project, The Dream of the Blue Turtles, alongside jazz and session musicians Omar Hakim on drums, Darryl Jones on the bass and Kenny Kirkland on keyboards. He became a regular in Sting’s line-up both in the studio and live up until the release of Brand New Day in 1999. In 1986, Marsalis formed the Branford Marsalis Quartet with pianist Kirkland, drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts and bass player Robert Hurst. That year, they released their first album, Royal Garden Blues. That lineup of the quartet would go on to release four more albums, the last of which, I Heard You Twice the First Time (1992), won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Jazz Album, Individual or Group. In 1988, Marsalis co-starred in the Spike Lee film School Daze, also rendering several horn-blowing interludes for the music in the film. His witty comments have pegged him to many memorable one-liners in the film. In 1989, Marsalis played a 30 second cover of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” over the opening logos of Lee’s film Do the Right Thing. Between 1990 and 1994, Branford played with the Grateful Dead numerous times, and appeared on their 1990 live album Without a Net. In 1992, Marsalis became the leader of the Tonight Show Band on the newly-launched The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, after Jay Leno replaced Johnny Carson. Initially, Marsalis turned down the offer, but later reconsidered and accepted the position. He brought with him the three other members of the Branford Marsalis Quartet, who became the Tonight Show Band’s pianist, drummer and bass player, respectively. In 1994, Marsalis formed the group Buckshot LeFonque (named after a pseudonym once used by Cannonball Adderley), a jazz group with elements of rock and hip-hop. That year, they released their first album, Buckshot LeFonque, which was mostly produced by DJ Premier. In 1994, Marsalis appeared on the Red Hot Organization’s compilation CD, Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool. [3] The album, meant to raise awareness of the AIDS epidemic in African American society, was named Album of the Year by Time. In 1995, Marsalis left The Tonight Show, having become unhappy in the role: he disliked that he was supposed to always show enthusiasm, even for jokes he thought were unfunny. He was succeeded as bandleader by guitarist Kevin Eubanks. In a well-publicized interview soon after leaving, Marsalis said, The job of musical director I found out later was just to kiss the ass of the host, and I ain’t no ass kisser. ” He also complained that when he did not laugh or smile, some viewers’ perception was, “Oh, he’s surly. He hates his boss. ” When the interviewer asked if Marsalis did hate Leno, Marsalis responded, “Oh, I despised him. ” He later stated that he did not hate Leno, and that this was a sarcastic response to what he considered “a ridiculous question. In 1997, bassist Eric Revis replaced Hurst in the Branford Marsalis Quartet. Kirkland died the following year, and was replaced by pianist Joey Calderazzo. The Branford Marsalis Quartet has since toured and recorded extensively. For two decades Marsalis was associated with Columbia, where he served as creative consultant and producer for jazz recordings between 1997 and 2001, including signing saxophonist David S. Ware for two albums. In 2002, Marsalis founded his own label, Marsalis Music. Its catalogue includes Claudia Acuña, Harry Connick Jr. Doug Wamble, Miguel Zenón, in addition to albums by members of the Marsalis family. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Marsalis and Harry Connick, Jr. Working with the local Habitat for Humanity, created Musicians Village in New Orleans, with the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music the centerpiece. Under the direction of conductor Gil Jardim, Branford Marsalis and members of the Philharmonia Brasileira toured the United States in the fall of 2008, performing works by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, arranged for solo saxophone and orchestra. This project commemorated the 50th Anniversary of the revered Brazilian composer s death. Marsalis and the members of his quartet joined the North Carolina Symphony for American Spectrum, released in February 2009 by Sweden’s BIS Records. The album showcases Marsalis and the orchestra performing a range of American music by Michael Daugherty, John Williams, Ned Rorem and Christopher Rouse, while being conducted by Grant Llewellyn. Marsalis wrote the music for the 2010 Broadway revival of the August Wilson play Fences. On July 14, 2010, Marsalis made his debut with the New York Philharmonic on Central Park’s Great Lawn. Led by conductor Andrey Boreyko, Marsalis and the New York Philharmonic performed Glazunov’s “Concerto for Alto Saxophone” and Schuloff’s Hot-Sonate for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra.

In 2019 Marsalis released The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul, which he recorded in Australia with his quartet. Marsalis, commenting on the longevity of his band and their approach said, ahead of the album’s release:’Staying together allows us to play adventurous, sophisticated music and sound good. Lack of familiarity leads to defensive playing, playing not to make a mistake. I like playing sophisticated music, and I couldn’t create this music with people I don’t know. Marsalis was raised Catholic. The Branford Marsalis Quartet received a Grammy Award in 2001 for their album Contemporary Jazz.

1989 Music Contract Signed Rare Nbc Autograph Cyril Neville Today Show
A GUEST CONTRACT FOR TODAY SHOW. SIGNED BY MUSIC LEGEND. ON 8.5X11 INCH PAPER. Cyril Garrett Neville is an American percussionist and vocalist who first came to prominence as a member of his brother Art Neville’s funky New Orleans-based band, The Meters. He joined Art in the Neville Brothers band upon the dissolution of the Meters. Cyril Garrett Neville (born October 10, 1948) is an American percussionist and vocalist who first came to prominence as a member of his brother Art Neville’s funky New Orleans-based band, The Meters. He has appeared on recordings by Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson, Edie Brickell, Willie Nelson, Dr. John and The New Orleans Social Club among others. Neville wrote an article for the December 16, 2005 edition of CounterPunch, [1] titled “Why I’m Not Going Back To New Orleans” and was featured in the 2006 documentary film New Orleans Music in Exile. After Hurricane Katrina he moved to Austin, Texas, but as of 2012 lives in Slidell, Louisiana. [citation needed] Soul Rebels Brass Band featured Neville as a special guest on their Rounder Records debut record, Unlock Your Mind, released on January 31, 2012. The Soul Rebels’ name was conceived by Neville at the New Orleans venue Tipitina’s, where the band was opening. In 2005, Neville joined up with Tab Benoit for the Voice of the Wetlands Allstars to bring awareness to Louisiana’s rapid loss of wetlands along the Gulf Coast. The band also features Waylon Thibodeaux, Johnny Sansone, Anders Osborne, Monk Boudreaux, George Porter, Jr. Johnny Vidacovich, and Dr. The band has become a main feature at the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. In 2010, Neville joined popular New Orleans funk band Galactic. He put aside his solo career to tour internationally with the band. In 2012, Cyril Neville joined forces with Devon Allman (son of Gregg Allman of The Allman Brothers Band), award-winning blues-rock guitarist Mike Zito, bassist Charlie Wooton, and Grammy-winning drummer Yonrico Scott to form Royal Southern Brotherhood, a blues-rock supergroup. “Cyril Neville may be the youngest of the Neville Brothers, the first family of New Orleans rock and R&B, but he has just made his best album”. “A refreshingly original approach to the music” (1/2) – Chicago Sun-Times[6]. 1994: The Fire This Time (Endangered Species) The Uptown Allstars. 1998: Soulo (Endangered Species) Cyril solo. 2000: New Orleans Cookin’ (Endangered Species) Cyril solo. 2003: For The Funk Of It (Kongo Square) The Uptown Allstars. 2007: The Healing Dance (Jomar/Silk) Tribe 13. 2009: Brand New Blues M. 2012: Royal Southern Brotherhood (RUF) Royal Southern Brotherhood. 2012: Live in Germany (RUF) Royal Southern Brotherhood. 2013: Magic Honey (RUF) Cyril solo. 2014: Heartsoulblood (RUF) Royal Southern Brotherhood. 2015: Don’t look back (RUF) Royal Southern Brotherhood. As a member of the Neville Brothers, Cyril won the 1989 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance for the song “Healing Chant”. In 1996, he and his brothers were nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for the song “Fire on the Mountain”. They were also nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for the album Valence Street. In 2014, Neville (as a solo) was nominated for a Blues Music Award in the’Contemporary Blues Album of the Year’ category for his album Magic Honey. Would I go back to live? And the situation for musicians was a joke. People thought there was a New Orleans music scene – there wasn’t. You worked two times a year: Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest. The only musicians I knew who made a living playing music in New Orleans were Kermit Ruffins and Pete Fountain. Everyone else had to have a day job or go on tour. I have worked more in two months in Austin than I worked in two years in New Orleans. A lot of things about life in New Orleans were a myth. I lived in the Gentilly neighborhood. I cannot live under 6 feet of water. In the 9th Ward and Gentilly they are going to do mass buyouts, bulldoze everything and make it green space. In my estimation, those are golf courses and other places where African-American people won’t be welcome. There’s nothing wrong with my house except that water destroyed everything we had in it. The foundation is fine. The house is still there. Same thing with our neighbors. So what are they talking bulldozing? For a lot of us, the storm is still happening. Up until the storm, Aaron, myself, Art and Kermit Ruffins were some of the only musicians who had’made it’ who were still living in New Orleans. Now you got cats that come down there every now and then to be king of a parade or whatever. They couldn’t find helicopters to get people off of roofs, but they found helicopters to bring certain people in for photo ops. I’m not mad at anybody, but at the same time we put a lot into that city and never got what I think we should have got out of it. Now I’ve landed in Austin. New Orleans and Austin musicians have had an affinity for each other’s groove for a long time, going back to my days with the Meters when we played Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin. On any given night we would end up with five or six guitar players onstage with us, be it the Winter brothers [Edgar and Johnny] or the Vaughan brothers. Gaynielle Neville and I now appear in a weekly Tuesday set called “New Orleans Cookin’ & Jukin’ ” at Threadgill’s in Austin. Gaynielle cooks red beans and gumbo, and we perform with their group Tribe 13, which includes Austin vocalist Papa Mali. The way we have been accepted in Austin is such a pleasant surprise, We were treated like family. I linked up with the Guthrie family about 18 months ago. I was looking for songs for an upcoming solo album and discovered the Native American rock band Blackfire. They had recorded Arlo’s Mean Things Are Happening in This World. That song jumped out at me, so I did my version. For years I have wondered how can I get in contact with Arlo and Willie Nelson – people who have the same kind of attitude and consciousness I have and who want to use their art the same way I’m trying to use mine. I got that consciousness from Woody Guthrie. People are talking to me, but some of the people I know went through much more than I did. There are 3,000 children missing in New Orleans. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children places the figure at 1,300. Hundreds of bodies are waiting to be identified. The people of New Orleans have been scattered to the four winds. Their lives were determined by people in Washington and Baton Rouge before the storm hit. The 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Wards should have their own tourist commission. Build our own hotels and restaurants in those areas. The key is ownership. Then I would think about going back and living there. But we’re still practicing American democracy. How can we ever bring it to somebody else? The Meters are an American funk band formed in 1965 in New Orleans by Zigaboo Modeliste (drums), George Porter Jr. (bass), Leo Nocentelli (guitar) and Art Neville (keyboards). The band performed and recorded their own music from the late 1960s until 1977 and played an influential role as backing musicians for other artists, including Lee Dorsey, Robert Palmer, Dr. John, and Allen Toussaint. Their original songs “Cissy Strut” and “Look-Ka Py Py” are considered funk classics. While they rarely enjoyed significant mainstream success, they are considered originators of funk along with artists like James Brown, and their work is influential on many other bands, both their contemporaries and modern musicians. [2][3] Their sound is defined by a combination of tight melodic grooves and syncopated New Orleans “second line” rhythms under highly charged guitar and keyboard riffing. [4][5] The band has been nominated four times for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, most recently in 2017. [6] In 2018 the band was presented with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. The Meters/The Original Meters/The Meter Men. Art Neville, the group’s frontman, launched a solo career around the New Orleans area in the mid-1950s while still in high school. The Meters formed in 1965 with a line-up of keyboardist and vocalist Art Neville, guitarist Leo Nocentelli, bassist George Porter Jr. And drummer Joseph “Zigaboo” Modeliste. They were later joined by percussionist-vocalist Cyril Neville. The Meters became the house band for Allen Toussaint and his record label, Sansu Enterprises. In 1969 the Meters released “Sophisticated Cissy” and “Cissy Strut”, both major R&B chart hits. “Look-Ka Py Py” and “Chicken Strut” were their hits the following year. After a label shift in 1972, the Meters had difficulty returning to the charts, but they worked with Dr. John, Paul McCartney, King Biscuit Boy, Labelle, Robert Palmer and others. In 1975 Paul McCartney invited the Meters to play at the release party for his Venus and Mars album aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones was in attendance at the event and was greatly taken with the Meters and their sound. [2](p166)[9] The Rolling Stones invited the band to open for them on their Tour of the Americas’75 and Tour of Europe’76. [4] That same year, the Meters recorded one of their most successful albums, Fire on the Bayou. From 1976 to 77 they played in The Wild Tchoupitoulas with George and Amos Landry and The Neville Brothers. Art and Cyril Neville left the band in early 1977, but The Meters still appeared on Saturday Night Live on March 19, 1977, during the show’s second season. After the Nevilles’ departure, David Batiste Sr. Took over on keyboards while Willie West joined as the band’s lead singer. Porter left the group later that year and by 1980 The Meters had officially broken up. After the break-up, Neville continued his career as part of The Neville Brothers, Modeliste toured with Keith Richards and Ron Wood, while Nocentelli and Porter became in-demand session players and formed new bands. In 1989 Art Neville, George Porter Jr. And Leo Nocentelli reunited as The Meters, adding drummer Russell Batiste Jr. To replace Zigaboo Modeliste. Nocentelli left the group in 1994 and was replaced with guitarist Brian Stoltz, formerly of The Neville Brothers. The band was renamed The Funky Meters. They were referred to as “the Funky Meters” as early as 1989. They were billed as such when playing in a tiny venue called Benny’s Bar at Valence and Camp streets. The Funky Meters continued to play into the 2000s with Stoltz being replaced by Art Neville’s son, Ian Neville, from 2007 to 2011 while he went to pursue a solo career. In 2000 a big offer enticed all four original Meters to reunite for a one-night stand at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco; by this time Modeliste wanted to make the reunion a permanent one, but the other members and their management teams objected. [10] It wasn’t until Quint Davis, producer and director of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, got them to “put aside their differences and hammer out the details” and perform at the Festival in 2005. In June 2011 The Original Meters along with Allen Toussaint and Dr. John played the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. The six men performed Dr. The Original Meters also played a set at the 2011 Voodoo Experience in New Orleans. In late 2012, Zigaboo Modeliste, Leo Nocentelli, and George Porter Jr. Played concerts with Phish keyboardist Page McConnell under the name The Meter Men. [14] During his time off from Phish, Page McConnell has continued to play with Porter Jr. Nocentelli, and Modeliste under the moniker of The Meter Men since those shows in 2012. The Meter Men had performed 16 shows together as of spring 2015, with their third annual appearance as a late night act during New Orleans’ Jazz and Heritage Festival. [15][16] In 2014, during The Meter Men’s second appearance as a late night act during Jazzfest, the band performed at The Republic on April 26, 2014, after McConnell had headlined the NOLA Jazzfest at the New Orleans Fairgrounds with Phish earlier that day. [17][18] The Meter Men had also played the previous night at The Republic. [19] The states The Meter Men had appeared in as of spring 2015 were Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Colorado, and Vermont, with one other performance in Washington, D. As of 2017, The Funky Meters tour consistently performing songs by The Meters, while The Meters perform sporadically. The lineup of Neville, Porter, Nocentelli and Modeliste typically bill themselves as The Original Meters to avoid confusion with The Funky Meters. When not performing with The Original Meters, guitarist Leo Nocentelli leads his own group, The Meters Experience, which also performs the music of The Meters. As of 2018, the most recent performance of the original Meters (with all four of the founding members) took place at the Arroyo Seco Festival in Pasadena, California on June 25, 2017. The song “They All Ask’d for You” from the 1975 album Fire on the Bayou remains popular in the New Orleans region and is the unofficial theme song of the Audubon Zoo.

According to Brian Knight of The Vermont Review, In a sense, the Meters defined the basic characteristics of the groove. While Funkadelic, Cameo, James Brown and Sly Stone are synonymous with funk, these artists look to the Meters for the basic-down to earthy and raw sound. “[32] Music critique Robert Christgau called the band “totally original and placed the compilation album Funkify Your Life: The Meters Anthology on his list of top six New Orleans classics. The Meters’ music has been sampled by musicians around the world, including rap artists Heavy D, LL Cool J and Queen Latifah, Musiq, Big Daddy Kane, Run-DMC, N. A, Ice Cube, Scarface, Cypress Hill, EPMD, Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, Naughty by Nature, and Tweet. Red Hot Chili Peppers covered the Meters’ song “Africa”, renamed “Hollywood (Africa)”, on their 1985 album Freaky Styley. The eclectic jazz-fusion guitarist Oz Noy has recorded his version of “Cissy Strut” twice. Bands such as the Grateful Dead, [36] KVHW, Steve Kimock Band, Widespread Panic, [37] Rebirth Brass Band, Galactic, Jaco Pastorius and The String Cheese Incident[38] have performed songs by The Meters in their concert rotations. The Meters’ songs have been used in the films Two Can Play That Game, Jackie Brown, Drumline, Hancock, Calendar Girls, Hitch, Red, The Best of Enemies, The Kitchen, Beerfest and Another Round. [39] The band’s songs were also featured in the television shows The Wire, Ballers and Disjointed as well as the video game Grand Theft Auto IV. In 1970, The Meters were named Best Rhythm and Blues Instrumental Group by both Billboard and Record World magazines. The Meters have been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame four times since becoming eligible in 1994: 1996, 2012, 2013 and 2017. And The Meters were recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the second annual Jammy Awards in 2001. In 2011, the iconic Meters’ song “Cissy Strut” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2013, The Meters received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Big Easy Music Awards. The band was featured on the 2017 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival’s commemorative poster. In January 2018, The Meters were honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. The Neville Brothers were an American R&B/soul/funk group, formed in 1977 in New Orleans, Louisiana. 1941, and Cyril b. 1948 came together to take part in the recording session of the Wild Tchoupitoulas, a Mardi Gras Indian group led by the Nevilles’ uncle, George Landry (“Big Chief Jolly”). Their debut album The Neville Brothers was released in 1978 on Capitol Records. In 1987, the group released Uptown on the EMI label, featuring guests including Branford Marsalis, Keith Richards, and Carlos Santana. The following year saw the release of Yellow Moon from A&M Records produced by Daniel Lanois. The track “Healing Chant” from that album won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance at the 1990 Grammy ceremony. In 1990, the Neville Brothers contributed “In the Still of the Night” to the AIDS benefit album Red Hot + Blue produced by the Red Hot Organization. Also in 1990, they appeared on the bill at that year’s Glastonbury Festival. [5] Due to Art Neville devoting more time to his other act, The Meters, the band kept a low profile in the late 1990s onto the early 2000s. They made a comeback in 2004, however, with the album, Walkin’ in the Shadow of Life, on Back Porch Records, their first newly recorded effort in five years. All brothers except Charles, a Massachusetts resident, had been living in New Orleans, but following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 Cyril and Aaron moved out of the city. Infrequently, Aaron’s son Ivan Neville (keyboards) and Art’s son Ian Neville (electric guitar), both of the band Dumpstaphunk, have played with the Neville Brothers. The final Neville Brothers studio album, titled Walkin’ in the Shadow of Life, was released in 2004. [9] The group formally disbanded in 2012 but reunited in 2015 for a farewell concert in New Orleans. Charles Neville died of pancreatic cancer on April 26, 2018, at the age of 79. On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed the Neville Brothers among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.

Influenced by the jazz artists from the early 1900s through the 1960s and annoyed with the music labeled “jazz” in the 1970s, Marsalis took on the mission of not only creating “true” jazz, but teaching its definition as well. Asuccessful jazz and classical musician and composer, Marsalis had won more than eight Grammy awards and released over 30 albums in both genres by the late 1990s. In 1997, he received the first Pulitzer Prize ever awarded for nonclassical music. He also co-founded and directed the ground-breaking jazz program at New York’s Lincoln Center, and became an influential jazz educator for America’s youth. Marsalis was born into a family of musicians on October 18, 1961, in New Orleans. His father, Ellis Marsalis, played piano and worked as a jazz improvisation instructor at the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts. Before dedicating her life to raising her six sons, Dolores Marsalis sang in jazz bands. The second eldest child, Wynton’s older brother Branford set the stage as the family’s first musical prodigy. Branford Marsalis played both clarinet and piano by the time he entered the second grade, and eventually became a professional saxophonist. Wynton Marsalis didn’t follow his brother’s lead quite as diligently, however. When he was six years old, his father played with Al Hirt, who gave the young Marsalis one of his old trumpets. Wynton Marsalis made his performing debut at the tender age of seven when he played “The Marine Hymn” at the Xavier Junior School of Music. As a child, Marsalis didn’t take practicing the trumpet very seriously. He spent more time with his school work, playing basketball, and participating in Boy Scout activities. Discovered Influences in Two Genres. When Marsalis was 12, his family moved from Kenner, Louisiana, to New Orleans. When he listened to a recording by jazz trumpeter Clifford Brown, he was moved to take his trumpet seriously. “I didn’t know someone could play a trumpet like that, ” Marsalis later told Mitchell Seidel in Down Beat. Soon after, a college student gave Marsalis an album by classical trumpet player Maurice Andre, which also sparked his interest in classical music. Marsalis began taking lessons from John Longo in New Orleans, who had an interest in both genres, as well. “I hardly ever even paid him, ” Marsalis recalled to Howard Mandell in Down Beat, and he used to give me two-and three-hour lessons, never looking at the clock. Marsalis attended Benjamin Franklin High School in New Orleans, where he graduated with a 3.98 grade point average on a 4.0 scale. He became a National Merit Scholarship finalist and received scholarship offers from Yale University, among other prestigious schools. He also attended the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts. At the age of 14, he won a Louisiana youth competition. This award granted him the opportunity to perform with the New Orleans Philharmonic Orchestra as a featured soloist. During his high school years, he played a variety of music with a number of groups, including first trumpet with the New Orleans Civic Orchestra, the New Orleans Brass Quintet, an a teenage funk group called the Creators, along with his brother Branford. In 1977, Marsalis won the “Most Outstanding Musician Award” at the Eastern Music Festival in North Carolina. Started Spreading the News. He went on to study music at the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood in Massachusetts, where he received their Harvey Shapiro Award for the outstanding brass player. He turned down the scholarship offers from Ivy League schools to attend New York’s Juilliard School of Music on full scholarship. While in school, he played with the Brooklyn Philharmonia and the Mexico City Symphony. He supported himself with a position in the pit band for Sweeney Todd on Broadway. In 1980, Art Blakey asked Marsalis to spend the summer touring with his Jazz Messengers. His performances began to attract national attention, and he eventually became the band’s musical director. While on the road with Blakey, Marsalis decided to change his image and began wearing suits to his performances. “For us, it was a statement of seriousness, ” Marsalis told Howard Reich in Down Beat. We come out here, we try to entertain our audience and play, and we want to look good so they can feel good. The following year, Marsalis decided to leave Juilliard to continue his education on the road. He played with Blakey and received an offer to tour with Herbie Hancock’s V. Marsalis jumped at the chance, as the V. Included bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams, who had both played with Miles Davis. “I knew he was only 19, just on the scene-it’s a lot to put on somebody, ” Hancock told Steve Bloom in Rolling Stone. But then I realized if we don’t hand down some of this stuff that happened with Miles, it’ll just die when we die. Marsalis performed throughout the United States and Japan with the V. And played on the double album Quartet. The increased attention led to an unprecedented recording contract with Columbia Records for both jazz and classical music. He released his self-titled debut album as a leader in 1981. Later that year, he formed his own jazz band with his brother Branford, Kenny Kirkland, Jeff Watts, and bassists Phil Bowler and Ray Drummond. His success didn’t go unnoticed in his hometown, either. New Orleans Mayor Ernest Morial proclaimed a Wynton Marsalis Day in February of 1982. Wynton Marsalis recorded one side of an album with his father Ellis and Branford Marsalis, called For Fathers and Sons. The other side was recorded by saxophonist Chico Freeman and his father Von Freeman. In 1983, Marsalis released jazz and classical LPS simultaneously. The recording and Marsalis received many comparisons to Miles Davis and other musicians of the 1960s. “We don’t reclaim music from the 1960s; music is a continuous thing, ” Marsalis explained to Mandell in Down Beat. We’re just trying to play what we hear as the logical extension. A tree’s got to have roots. He recorded his classical debut, Trumpet Concertos, in London with Raymond Leppard and the National Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1984, Marsalis set another precedent by becoming the first artist to be nominated or win two Grammy awards in two categories during the same year. Big Sounds in the Big Apple. He won another Grammy award in 1987 for his album Marsalis Standard Time Vol. During the same year, he co-founded the Jazz at Lincoln Center program in New York City. When the program began, Marsalis became the artistic director for the eleven-month season. As part of his contract, he had to compose one piece of music for each year. Despite his new position, he continued to record and tour in both jazz and classical music. He released Majesty of the Blues in 1989 and The Resolution of Romance in 1990. He dedicated the latter to his mother, and it included contributions from his father Ellis and his brother Delfeayo. “If you are really dealing with music, you are trying to elevate consciousness about romance, ” Marsalis explained to Dave Helland in Down Beat. Music is so closely tied up with sex and sensuality that when you are dealing with music, you are trying to enter the world of that experience, trying to address the richness of the interaction between a man and a woman, not its lowest reduction. Marsalis’ study of New Orleans styles resulted in a trilogy called Soul Gestures in Southern Blue in 1990. Describing the set, Howard Reich wrote in Down Beat, the crying blue notes of’Levee Low Moan,’ the church harmonies of’Psalm 26,’ the sultry ambiance of’Thick in the South’ all recalled different settings and epochs in New Orleans music. And yet the tautness of Marsalis’ septet, the economy of the motifs, and the adventurousness of the harmonies proclaimed this as new music, as well. Using history to create his present sound became Marsalis’ goal, along with exploring the rich tapestry of the different eras and styles of jazz. His first commission for the jazz program at Lincoln Center, In This House, On This Morning was performed in 1993. In it, he used the music of the African-American church as his primary inspiration. Evolved into Jazz Spokesman. In the fall of 1994, Marsalis announced that his septet had disbanded. However, he continued composing, recording, and performing. The following year, he produced a four-part video series called Marsalis on Music, which aired on PBS. In May of 1995, his first string quartet, (At the) Octoroon Balls debuted at the Lincoln Center. He continued to release classical works as well. He re-recorded the Haydn, Hummel, and Leopold Mozart concertos from Trumpet Concertos in 1994. Two years later, he released In Gabriel’s Garden, which he recorded with the English Chamber Orchestra and Anthony Newman on harp-sichord and organ. “I want to keep developing myself as a complete musician, ” Marsalis told Ken Smith in Stereo Review, so I take on projects either to teach me something new or else to document some development. With this new Baroque album, I felt that I’d never really played that music before with the right authority or rhythmic fire. ” Marsalis produced the Olympic Jazz Summit at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, and won 1996 Peabody Awards for both Marsalis on Music and for his National Public Radio Show “Wynton Marsalis: Making the Music. At the end of 1996, Time magazine named him one of America’s 25 Most Influential People. A major part of his influence went out to the country’s youth. When he’s not working on his own music, he traveled to schools across the country to talk about music in an effort to continue the tradition of jazz. “I’m always ready to put my own neck on the line for change, ” Marsalis told Lynn Norment in Ebony. No school is too bad for me to go to. I’ll try to teach anybody. We are all striving for the same thing, to make our community stronger and richer. That’s what the jazz musician has always been about. In April of 1994, his biggest piece, Blood on the Fields, had its debut performance at the Lincoln Center. Marsalis composed the oratorio for three singers and a 14-piece orchestra, and it described the story of two Africans, Leona and Jesse, who found love despite the difficulties of American slavery. “I wanted to orchestrate for the larger ensemble and write for voices-something I’d never done, ” Marsalis said to V. Peterson in a People magazine interview. I wanted to make the music combine with the words, yet make the characters seem real. With Blood on the Fields, Marsalis won the first non-classical Pulitzer Prize award in history. Because of his piece, the selection board changed the criteria from “for larger forms including chamber, orchestra, song, dance, or other forms of musical theater” to for distinguished musical composition of significant dimension. Columbia Records released the oratorio on a three-CD set in June of 1997. He followed the release with recordings of two other previously performed works on one album. His collaboration with New York City Ballet director, Peter Martins’ Jazz/ Six Syncopated Movements and Jump Start written for ballet director, Twyla Tharp, were both included on the record. Marsalis’ work in jazz and classical music combined with his often outspoken attitude toward musical integrity surrounded him with controversy throughout his career. Despite the criticism, his talent was never questioned. As Eric Alterman described in The Nation, he’s a man universally acknowledged to be a master musician and perhaps the most ambitious composer alive. Who gave you your first trumpet? I got my first trumpet when I was six from Al Hirt. My father was playing piano in his band, and as a Christmas present I received a trumpet – a LeBlanc. What influence did your father/mother have on your desire to become a musician? My father was an example to me, because of the type of integrity he had when he would play. I also liked the musicians that my father played with. They were always around: James Black the drummer, Nat Perlatt on saxophone. I liked Richard Payne the bass player, the great clarinetist Alvin Batiste. John Fernandez was a great trumpet player and a teacher. I didn’t like the music they played so much but I liked them. And I always liked to hang at the gigs and listen to them play and see what was going on. Also, for that whole generation of Southern musicians – like my father, like Alvin Batiste – playing the music was a stab against segregation. It was a matter of their identity, of their high-minded nature and of them as men. In their own way, it was a sign of protest against the environment they grew up in. Not just in terms of segregation of whites, because black people were also apathetic toward what they were playing. Some people considered it to be devil’s music, and others just considered it to be a waste of time. So they had certain defiance in their personality that I always could gravitate toward in life. My mama stayed on us about practicing. She took her time to take us to music classes and see that we received an education. So, in terms of discipline and investing her time and love and energy in us – she was always doing that for me and all my brothers. Did you always want to be a jazz musician or did you try other genres first? I always wanted to be a jazz musician because I liked the way that they played, but you couldn’t get a gig playing jazz. So I played funk gigs all the time with a band called Funky Creative. We used to play clubs, dances, proms. I joined the band when I was 12, and I played until I was 16. We’d work every weekend, and sometimes on the weekdays. We had one of the most popular bands in New Orleans, playing Top 40 cover songs. This was the 70’s, so everybody had their afro, bellbottom jeans, platform heeled shoes. We had the whole uniform – we had these jumpsuits and this all this crazy looking stuff. It took us an hour just to put our equipment up. Which artists have influenced you the most? A lot of jazz musicians like Monk, Duke, Miles, Charlie Parker, Dizzy, Jelly Roll Morton, Wayne Shorter. I listen to a lot of them and try to incorporate things that I like into my own style. Trumpet players such as Maurice Andre, Adolph Hofner, Cootie Williams, Ray Nance and Sweets Edison have all had an influence on my style. When I was in high school, Clark Terry influenced me a lot. I can’t forget him. In terms of classical music, I like Stravinsky and Beethoven a lot. What is the best advice another musician has ever given you? One time Sweets Edison told me, Don’t play like you’re trying to prove that you can play. Are different skills required to perform classical vs. In jazz, you have a heavier sound, a heavier attack than in classical. Also, classical music is all written down, so you have to concentrate on executing it. In jazz, you’re making the music up, so you have to know the harmony of the songs, and how to interact with the different musicians. It’s a matter of reflexes. Who are the greatest trumpeters (or musicians of) of all time? The first one is Gottfried Reich. Bach wrote the Brandenberg Concerto for him. In mythology, it really starts with Gabriel. Gabriel actually was a woman. They were cheating women even back then. Her name was actually Gabrielle. She was the first great trumpet player. Then you have the German trumpet player, Gottfried Reich. Then there’s Anton Veidenger. He’s the guy who the Haydn trumpet concerto and the Hummel trumpet concerto were written for. Then you have all the great cornet soloists. There are so many of them. A lot of Americans. Patrick Gilmore had a great band after the Civil War. Then there were all the great soloists with John Philip Sousa. You have Herbert L. Clarke, Krill, George Swift, Jules Levy, Del Stagers. Each one had a different specialty. Some could play double tongue real fast, some slur, some do triple tongue, some trick fingers. Everybody had a different thing. Some played real sweet. Matthew Arbuckle used to have a battle of cornets. You’d see them go in. It would be who could play the most. Then you got the jazz musicians: Buddy Bolden, King Oliver, Freddy Keppard, Buddy Petit. Then you get to Red Allen, and then you’ve got Louis Armstrong. From there, you get all the trumpet players influenced by him. Various trumpet players like Buddy Barry, Cootie Williams, Rex Stewart, Ray Nance, Sweets Edison, Buck Clayton, Roy Eldrige, Doug Mascoll. There are a lot of people. At the same time, there are the great classical trumpet players, William Vacchiano and Max Schlossberg. Then you come up in the more modern era with Dizzy and Miles, Freddy Hubbard, Don Ellis, Don Cherry, Booker Little, Lee Morgan. In classical music, there’s Aldoph Herseth, a great trumpet player. There’s Maurice Andre, a classical trumpet player, Rafael Mendez, an all around unbelievable trumpeter, Doc Sevrenson, Al Hirt. You start to get a lot of great trumpet players of different types. Do you know everything there is to know about trumpet playing? There’s so much to know, it’s hard to know everything about anything. There’s so much to know, period. What performers today do you find to be the most interesting or promising? I like Nicholas Payton, I like Roy Hargrove, Terence Blanchard. Dave Douglas is interesting. You’ve got a lot of young trumpet players. Omar Butler, a young student at Juilliard. Keyon Harold is an interesting trumpet player who plays with a lot of feeling. Jermanie Smith, Mike Rodriguez, Trombone Shorty on the trumpet from New Orleans can play. Dominic Faranacci, Brandon Lee and Tatum Greenblatt are a few of the great young kids coming out of high school. What advice would you give a youngster who is interested in playing the trumpet? You don’t have to practice for hours. Just get on your horn every day and listen to the people who really can play. Just try to keep going and develop. Why are you so involved in education, master classes, etc. My father was always teaching, and the musicians he played with were all teachers. I was always taking classes. I just grew up around it. What qualities do you look for in a band member? Individuality, deep sound and a willingness to do work. Is your new trumpet one of a kind? Tell us about it. It’s made by Dave Monette and it’s one of a kind-he made it for me. It has personalized engravings from all aspects of my life. Symbols of playing, the great “j master” Marcus Roberts is on there, things about my kids. This is the first trumpet Monette ever made in this way. He has subsequently made other trumpets like that. Not with the same designs on it, of course. You’ve described jazz as America’s music. Well not to be a sloganist, but it’s part of the fabric of our country-the way we speak our language, the way we interact with each other, the tensions and dynamics that make our country what it is, the basic forms and things that we use to comport ourselves-all of that is in jazz. You can see it in songs like “Birmingham Breakdown, ” Duke Ellington’s East St. Louis Toodle-oo, ” and “Sidewalks of New York. Jazz also shows the influence of the Broadway show tune, which is an American tradition. There’s also the idea of improvisation, which was developed in America. There’s a whole relationship between the history of the music and race relations in our country. Jazz just deals with a lot of different aspects of our way of life. When you became the first jazz artist to win a Pulitzer Prize (for “Blood On The Fields”) you spoke often of Duke Ellington. I feel it’s always important to stress the fact that I’m a part of a continuum, and that our music continues. It’s not a fad, it continues on. And Duke laid the ground work for us to understand how to compose with the blues harmonies and what the American orchestra was. He laid out the framework for it. And it’s important for all the musicians that come after to realize it’s a continuum. It doesn’t live and die with anyone personally. Is it true that you often have several different projects underway at once? Why do you work so hard? I like to do a lot of different things. I like to stay busy. I grew up working all the time, and that’s just what I like to do. It doesn’t bother me really. I’m used to it. Your historic “Swinging Into the 21st” series ushered in the new millennium. What are you striving to achieve in these years ahead? We’ve laid out a good framework with Jazz at Lincoln Center. In the coming years, we want to continue to play the great music of our tradition, and continue to write new music that addresses the fundamentals while introducing new things. We want to collaborate with more musicians around the world-New Zealand musicians, Argentinean musicians-in order to deal with the ongoing relationship of jazz music to other forms of music. This is something that was well established by Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellington and Miles Davis with records like Sketches of Spain. Dizzy Gillespie did many works with Afro-Cuban music and later with the United Nations orchestra. I want to continue to go in that direction-continue to collaborate with different arts and arts organizations, like the New York Philharmonic, the New York City Ballet, The Chamber Music Society, The Film Society and Lincoln Center Institute. We want to do a lot of different things, get involved in some theater projects, try and write an opera, try to write a mass. I just want to expand and write more sophisticated music. In what way do you think the Internet will impact the arts? The Internet is just transference of information, and music is about information- passing information on with you. What you think, what you feel, what is revealed to you to anybody who’s interested in it. It’s just another tool of communication. What accomplishment are you most pleased with as Artistic Director of JALC? That we’ve successfully challenged the status quo of our music. When we started, nobody was thinking about Duke Ellington’s music and the seriousness of jazz as an art form. We’ve been able to challenge a lot of what was held to be true because of the presence of Jazz at Lincoln Center. We’ve done dances, we’ve brought musicians in from all over the world, we’ve played concerts. We’ve commissioned pieces and done first-ever concerts. Gerry Mulligan requested that, when he died, we do his posthumous concert and play his music. He told me to make sure that I do it. Just the fact that a musician of that magnitude and stature would make that request is a serious thing. He wanted us to play the New Orleans March, and we did. That was one of the greatest tributes we could have. Wynton Marsalis is an internationally acclaimed musician, composer and bandleader, an educator and a leading advocate of American culture. He has created and performed an expansive range of music from quartets to big bands, chamber music ensembles to symphony orchestras and tap dance to ballet, expanding the vocabulary for jazz and classical music with a vital body of work that places him among the world’s finest musicians and composers. Always swinging, Marsalis blows his trumpet with a clear tone, a depth of emotion and a unique, virtuosic style derived from an encyclopedic range of trumpet techniques. When you hear Marsalis play, you’re hearing life being played out through music. Marsalis’ core beliefs and foundation for living are based on the principals of jazz. He promotes individual creativity (improvisation), collective cooperation (swing), gratitude and good manners (sophistication), and faces adversity with persistent optimism (the blues). With his evolved humanity and through his selfless work, Marsalis has elevated the quality of human engagement for individuals, social networks and cultural institutions throughout the world. Wynton was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on October 18, 1961, to Ellis and Dolores Marsalis, the second of six sons. At an early age, he exhibited a superior aptitude for music and a desire to participate in American culture. At age eight Wynton performed traditional New Orleans music in the Fairview Baptist Church band led by legendary banjoist Danny Barker, and at 14 he performed with the New Orleans Philharmonic. During high school Wynton performed with the New Orleans Symphony Brass Quintet, New Orleans Community Concert Band, New Orleans Youth Orchestra, New Orleans Symphony, various jazz bands and with the popular local funk band, the Creators. At age 17 Wynton became the youngest musician ever to be admitted to Tanglewood’s Berkshire Music Center. Despite his youth, he was awarded the school’s prestigious Harry Shapiro Award for outstanding brass student. Wynton moved to New York City to attend Juilliard in 1979. When he started gigging around the City, the grapevine began to buzz. The excitement around Wynton attracted the attention of Columbia Records executives who signed him to his first recording contract. In 1980 Wynton seized the opportunity to join the Jazz Messengers to study under master drummer and bandleader Art Blakey. It was from Blakey that Wynton acquired his concept for bandleading and for bringing intensity to each and every performance. In the years to follow Wynton performed with Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie, Sweets Edison, Clark Terry, John Lewis, Sonny Rollins, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams and countless other jazz legends. Wynton assembled his own band in 1981 and hit the road, performing over 120 concerts every year for 15 consecutive years. With the power of his superior musicianship, the infectious sound of his swinging bands and a far-reaching series of performances and music workshops, Marsalis rekindled widespread interest in jazz throughout the world and inspired a renaissance that attracted a new generation of fine young talent to jazz. A look at the more distinguished jazz musicians to emerge for the decades to follow reveals the efficacy of Marsalis’ workshops and includes: James Carter, Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove, Marcus Roberts, Wycliffe Gordon, Harry Connick Jr. Nicholas Payton, Eric Reed and Eric Lewis, to name a few. Wynton also embraced the jazz lineage to bring recognition to the older generation of overlooked jazz musicians and prompted the re-issue of jazz catalogs by record companies worldwide. Wynton’s love of the music of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and others drove him to pursue a career in classical music as well. He recorded the Haydn, Hummel and Leopold Mozart trumpet concertos at age 20. His debut recording received glorious reviews and won the Grammy Award® for Best Classical Soloist with an Orchestra. Marsalis went on to record 10 additional classical records, all to critical acclaim. Wynton performed with leading orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston Pops, The Cleveland Orchestra, Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, Toronto Symphony Orchestra and London’s Royal Philharmonic, working with an eminent group of conductors including: Leppard, Dutoit, Maazel, Slatkin, Salonen and Tilson-Thomas. A timeless highlight of Wynton’s classical career is his collaboration with soprano Kathleen Battle on their recording Baroque Duet. Famed classical trumpeter Maurice André praised Wynton as potentially the greatest trumpeter of all time. His recordings consistently incorporate a heavy emphasis on the blues, an inclusive approach to all forms of jazz from New Orleans to modern jazz, persistent use of swing as the primary rhythm, an embrace of the American popular song, individual and collective improvisation, and a panoramic vision of compositional styles from dittys to dynamic call and response patterns (both within the rhythm section and between the rhythm section and horn players). Wynton Marsalis is a prolific and inventive composer. He is the world’s first jazz artist to perform and compose across the full jazz spectrum from its New Orleans roots to bebop to modern jazz. He has also composed a violin concerto and four symphonies to introduce new rhythms to the classical music canon. Marsalis collaborated with the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society in 1995 to compose the string quartet At The Octoroon Balls, and again in 1998 to create a response to Stravinsky’s A Soldier’s Tale with his composition A Fiddler’s Tale. Several prominent choreographers embraced Wynton’s inventiveness with commissions to compose suites to fuel their imagination for movement. This impressive list includes Garth Fagan (Citi Movement-Griot New York & Lighthouse/Lightening Rod), Peter Martins at the New York City Ballet (Jazz: Six Syncopated Movements and Them Twos), Twyla Tharp with the American Ballet Theatre (Jump Start), Judith Jamison at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre (Sweet Release and Here. Now), and Savion Glover (Petite Suite and Spaces). Wynton reconnected audiences with the beauty of the American popular song with his collection of standards recordings (Standard Time Volumes I-VI). He re-introduced the joy in New Orleans jazz with his recording The Majesty Of The Blues. And he extended the jazz musician’s interplay with the blues in Uptown Ruler, Levee Low Moan, Thick In The South and other blues recordings. Marsalis introduced a fresh conception for extended form compositions with Citi Movement, his sanctified In This House, On This Morning and Blood On The Fields. His inventive interplay with melody, harmony and rhythm, along with his lyrical voicing and tonal coloring assert new possibilities for the jazz ensemble. In his dramatic oratorio Blood On The Fields, Wynton draws upon the blues, work songs, chants, spirituals, New Orleans jazz, Ellingtonesque orchestral arrangements and Afro-Caribbean rhythms — using Greek chorus-style recitations with great affect to move the work along. The New York Times Magazine said Blood On The Fields marked a symbolic moment when the full heritage of the line, Ellington through Mingus, was extended into the present. ” The San Francisco Examiner stated, “Marsalis’ orchestral arrangements are magnificent. Duke Ellington’s shadings and themes come and go but Marsalis’ free use of dissonance, counter rhythms and polyphonics is way ahead of Ellington’s mid-century era. Blood on the Fields became the first jazz composition ever to be awarded the coveted Pulitzer Prize in Music in 1997. Wynton extended his achievements in Blood On The Fields with All Rise, an epic composition for big band, gospel choir, and symphony orchestra – a classic work of high art – which was performed by the New York Philharmonic under the baton of Kurt Masur along with the Morgan State University Choir and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (December 1999). Marsalis collaborated with Ghanaian master drummer Yacub Addy to create Congo Square, a groundbreaking composition combining harmonies from America’s jazz tradition with fundamental rituals in African percussion and vocals (2006). For the anniversary of the Abyssinian Baptist Church’s 200th year of service, Marsalis blended Baptist church choir cadences with blues accents and big band swing rhythms to compose Abyssinian 200: A Celebration, which was performed by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Abyssinian’s 100 voice choir before packed houses in New York City (May 2008). In the fall of 2009 the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra premiered Marsalis’ composition Blues Symphony. Marsalis infused blues and ragtime rhythms with symphonic orchestrations to create a fresh type of enjoyment of classical repertoire. Marsalis further expanded his repertoire for symphony orchestra with Swing Symphony, employing complex layers of collective improvisation. The work was premiered by the renowned Berlin Philharmonic and performed with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in June 2010, creating new possibilities for audiences to experience a symphony orchestra swing. Wynton made a significant addition to his oeuvre with Concerto in D, a violin concerto composed for virtuoso Nicola Benedetti. The concerto is in four movements, “Rhapsody, ” “Rhondo, ” “Blues, ” and Hootenanny. With this masterful composition Marsalis celebrates the American vernacular in ultra-sophisticated ways. Its fundamental character is Americana with sweeping melodies, jazzy orchestral dissonances, blues-tinged themes, fancy fiddling and a rhythmic swagger. Concerto in D received its world premiere by the London Symphony Orchestra in November 2015 and its American premiere by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Ravinia in July 2016. In December 2016 Marsalis again demonstrated his expansive musical imagination and dexterity for seasoning the classical music realm with jazz and blues influences with The Jungle, performed by the New York Philharmonic along with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. “The Jungle, ” according to Marsalis, is a musical portrait of New York City, the most fluid, pressure-packed, and cosmopolitan metropolis the modern world has ever seen. The New York Philharmonic and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra re-united to present The Jungle in Shanghai in July 2017. Marsalis’ rich and expansive body of music for the ages places him among the world’s most significant composers. Television, Radio & Literary. In the fall of 1995 Wynton launched two major broadcast events. In October on PBS he premiered Marsalis On Music, an educational television series on jazz and classical music. Written and hosted by Marsalis, the series and was enjoyed by millions of parents and children. Writers distinguished Marsalis On Music with comparisons to Leonard Bernstein’s celebrated Young People’s Concerts of the 50s and 60s. That same month National Public Radio aired the first of Marsalis’ 26-week series entitled Making the Music. These entertaining and insightful radio shows were the first full exposition of jazz music in American broadcast history. Wynton’s radio and television series were awarded the most prestigious distinction in broadcast journalism, the George Foster Peabody Award. The Spirit of New Orleans, Wynton’s poetic tribute to the New Orleans Saints’ first Super Bowl victory (Super Bowl XLIV) also received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Feature (2011). From 2012 to 2014 Wynton served as cultural correspondent for CBS News, writing and presenting features for CBS This Morning on an array topics from Martin Luther King, Jr. Nelson Mandela and Louis Armstrong to Juke Joints, BBQ, the Quarterback & Conducting and Thankfulness. Marsalis has written six books: Sweet Swing Blues on the Road, Jazz in the Bittersweet Blues of Life, To a Young Musician: Letters from the Road, Jazz ABZ (an A to Z collection of poems celebrating jazz greats), Moving to Higher Ground: How Jazz Can Change Your Life and Squeak, Rumble, Whomp! A sonic adventure for kids. Wynton Marsalis has won nine Grammy Awards® in grand style. In 1983 he became the only artist ever to win Grammy Awards® for both jazz and classical records; and he repeated the distinction by winning jazz and classical Grammys® again in 1984. Honorary degrees have been conferred upon Wynton by over 30 of America’s leading academic institutions including Columbia, Harvard, Howard, Princeton and Yale (see Exhibit A). Elsewhere Wynton was honored with the Louis Armstrong Memorial Medal and the Algur H. Meadows Award for Excellence in the Arts. He was inducted into the American Academy of Achievement and was dubbed an Honorary Dreamer by the I Have a Dream Foundation. The New York Urban League awarded Wynton with the Frederick Douglass Medallion for distinguished leadership and the American Arts Council presented him with the Arts Education Award. Time magazine selected Wynton as one of America’s most promising leaders under age 40 in 1995, and in 1996 Time celebrated Marsalis again as one of America’s 25 most influential people. In November 2005 Wynton Marsalis received The National Medal of Arts, the highest award given to artists by the United States Government. United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan proclaimed Wynton Marsalis an international ambassador of goodwill for the Unites States by appointing him a UN Messenger of Peace (2001). Marsalis was honored with The National Humanities Medal by President Barak Obama in 2015, in recognition of his work in deepened the nation’s understanding of the humanities and broadened American citizens’ engagement with history, literature, languages and philosophy. In 1997 Wynton Marsalis became the first jazz musician ever to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music for his epic oratorio Blood On The Fields. During the five preceding decades the Pulitzer Prize jury refused to recognize jazz musicians and their improvisational music, reserving this distinction for classical composers. In the years following Marsalis’ award, the Pulitzer Prize for Music has been awarded posthumously to Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane. In a personal note to Wynton, Zarin Mehta wrote. I was not surprised at your winning the Pulitzer Prize for Blood On The Fields. It is a broad, beautifully painted canvas that impresses and inspires. It speaks to us all. I’m sure that, somewhere in the firmament, Buddy Bolden, Louis Armstrong and legions of others are smiling down on you. Wynton’s creativity has been celebrated throughout the world. He won the Netherlands’ Edison Award and the Grand Prix Du Disque of France. The Mayor of Vitoria, Spain, awarded Wynton with the city’s Gold Medal – its most coveted distinction. Britain’s senior conservatoire, the Royal Academy of Music, granted Mr. Marsalis Honorary Membership, the Academy’s highest decoration for a non-British citizen (1996). The city of Marciac, France, erected a bronze statue in his honor. The French Ministry of Culture appointed Wynton the rank of Knight in the Order of Arts and Literature and in the fall of 2009 Wynton received France’s highest distinction, the insignia Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, an honor that was first awarded by Napoleon Bonaparte. French Ambassador, His Excellency Pierre Vimont, captured the evening best with his introduction. We are gathered here tonight to express the French government’s recognition of one of the most influential figures in American music, an outstanding artist, in one word: a visionary. I want to stress how important your work has been for both the American and the French. I want to put the emphasis on the main values and concerns that we all share: the importance of education and transmission of culture from one generation to the other, and a true commitment to the profoundly democratic idea that lies in jazz music. I strongly believe that, for you, jazz is more than just a musical form. It is tradition, it is part of American history and culture and life. To you, jazz is the sound of democracy. And from this democratic nature of jazz derives openness, generosity, and universality. Jazz at Lincoln Center. In 1987 Wynton Marsalis co-founded a jazz program at Lincoln Center. In July 1996, due to its significant success, Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) was installed as a new constituent of Lincoln Center, equal in stature with the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera, and New York City Ballet – a historic moment for jazz as an art form and for Lincoln Center as a cultural institution. In October 2004, with the assistance of a dedicated Board and staff, Marsalis opened Frederick P. Rose Hall, the world’s first institution for jazz. The complex contains three state-of-the-art performance spaces (including the first concert hall designed specifically for jazz) along with recording, broadcast, rehearsal and educational facilities. Jazz at Lincoln Center has become a preferred venue for New York jazz fans and a destination for travelers from throughout the world. Wynton presently serves as Managing and Artistic Director for Jazz at Lincoln Center. Under his leadership Jazz at Lincoln Center has developed an international agenda presenting rich and diverse programming that includes concerts, debates, film forums, dances, television and radio broadcasts, and educational activities. The JALC mission is to entertain, enrich and expand a global community for jazz through performance, education and advocacy, and to bolster the cultural infrastructure for jazz globally. Jazz at Lincoln Center has become a mecca for learning as well as a hub for performance. Their comprehensive educational programming includes a Band Director’s Academy, a hugely popular concert series for kids called Jazz for Young People, Jazz in the Schools, a Middle School Jazz Academy, WeBop! (for kids ages 8 months to 5 years), an annual High School Jazz Band Competition & Festival that reaches over 2000 bands in 50 states and Canada. In 2009 Wynton created and presented Ballad of the American Arts before a capacity crowd at the Kennedy Center. The lecture/performance was written to elucidate the essential role the arts have played in establishing America’s cultural identity. “This is our story, this is our song, ” states Marsalis, and if well sung, it tells us who we are and where we belong. In 2011 Harvard University President Drew Faust invited Wynton to enrich the cultural life of the University community. Wynton responded by creating a 6 lecture series which he delivered over the ensuing 3 years entitled Hidden In Plain View: Meanings in American Music, with the goal of fostering a stronger appreciation for the arts and a higher level of cultural literacy in academia. From 2015 to 2021 Wynton will serve as an A. White Professor at Cornell University. White Professors are charged with the mandate to enliven the intellectual and cultural lives of university students. Wynton Marsalis has devoted his life to uplifting populations worldwide with the egalitarian spirit of jazz. And while his body of work is enough to fill two lifetimes, Wynton continues to work tirelessly to contribute even more to our world’s cultural landscape. It has been said that he is an artist for whom greatness is not just possible, but inevitable. The most extraordinary dimension of Wynton Marsalis, however, is not his accomplishments but his character. It is the lesser-known part of this man who finds endless ways to give of himself. It is the person who waited in an empty parking lot for one full hour after a concert in Baltimore, waiting for a single student to return from home with his horn for a trumpet lesson. It is the citizen who personally funds scholarships for students and covers medical expenses for those in need. At the same time, he assumed a leadership role on the Bring Back New Orleans Cultural Commission where he was instrumental in shaping a master plan that would revitalize the city’s cultural base. From My Sister’s Place (a shelter for battered women) to Graham Windham (a shelter for homeless children), the Children’s Defense Fund, Amnesty International, the Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute, Food For All Seasons (a food bank for the elderly and disadvantaged), Very Special Arts (an organization that provides experiences in dance, drama, literature, and music for individuals with physical and mental disabilities) to the Newark Boys Chorus School (a full-time academic music school for disadvantaged youths), the Hugs Foundation (Help Us Give Smiles – provides free life changing surgical procedures for children with microtia, cleft lip and other facial deformities) and many, many more – Wynton responded enthusiastically to the call for service. It is Wynton Marsalis’ commitment to the improvement of life for all people that portrays the best of his character and humanity. Brown University (Doctor of Music, 1988).

Wynton Learson Marsalis (born October 18, 1961) is an American trumpeter, composer, teacher, and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center. Marsalis has won at least nine Grammy Awards, and his Blood on the Fields was the first jazz composition to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music. He is the only musician to win a Grammy Award in jazz and classical during the same year. Marsalis was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on October 18, 1961 and grew up in the suburb of Kenner. [1] He is the second of six sons born to Dolores Ferdinand Marsalis and Ellis Marsalis Jr. A pianist and music teacher. [2] He was named for jazz pianist Wynton Kelly. [3] Branford Marsalis is his older brother and Jason Marsalis and Delfeayo Marsalis are younger. All three are jazz musicians. [4] While sitting at a table with trumpeters Al Hirt, Miles Davis, and Clark Terry, his father jokingly suggested that he might as well get Wynton a trumpet, too. Hirt volunteered to give him one, so at the age of six Marsalis received his first trumpet. Although he owned a trumpet when he was six, he did not practice much until he was 12. [1] He attended Benjamin Franklin High School and the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. [6][7] He studied classical music at school and jazz at home with his father. He played in funk bands and a marching band led by Danny Barker. He performed on trumpet publicly as the only black musician in the New Orleans Civic Orchestra. After winning a music contest at fourteen, he performed a trumpet concerto by Joseph Haydn with the New Orleans Philharmonic. Two years later he performed Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F Major by Bach. [5] At seventeen, he was the youngest musician admitted to Tanglewood Music Center. Marsalis reaching toward the camera. Marsalis backstage in 2007. In 1979, he moved to New York City to attend Juilliard. He intended to pursue a career in classical music. In 1980, he toured Europe as a member of the Art Blakey big band, becoming a member of The Jazz Messengers and remaining with Blakey until 1982. He changed his mind about his career and turned to jazz. He has said that years of playing with Blakey influenced his decision. [5] He recorded for the first time with Blakey and one year later he went on tour with Herbie Hancock. After signing a contract with Columbia, he recorded his first solo album. In 1982, he established a quintet with his brother Branford Marsalis, Kenny Kirkland, Charnett Moffett, and Jeff “Tain” Watts. When Branford and Kenny Kirkland left three years later to record and tour with Sting, Marsalis formed another quartet, this time with Marcus Roberts on piano, Robert Hurst on double bass, and Watts on drums. After a while, the band expanded to include Wessell Anderson, Wycliffe Gordon, Eric Reed, Herlin Riley, Reginald Veal, and Todd Williams. When asked about influences on his playing style, he cites Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Harry Sweets Edison, Clark Terry, Dizzy Gillespie, Jelly Roll Morton, Charlie Parker, Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk, Cootie Williams, Ray Nance, Maurice Andre, and Adolph Hofner. Marsalis at Lincoln Center in 2004. In 1987, Marsalis helped start the Classical Jazz summer concert series at Lincoln Center in New York City. [9] The success of the series led to Jazz at Lincoln Center becoming a department at Lincoln Center, [10] then to becoming an independent entity in 1996 with organizations such as the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera. [11] Marsalis became artistic director of the Center and the musical director of the band, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. The orchestra performs at its home venue, Rose Hall, goes on tour, visits schools, appears on radio and television, and produces albums through its label, Blue Engine Records. In 2011, Marsalis and rock guitarist Eric Clapton performed together in a Jazz at Lincoln Center concert. The concert was recorded and released as the album Play the Blues: Live from Jazz at Lincoln Center. In 1986, Marsalis guest starred in an episode of Sesame Street. In 1995, he hosted the educational program Marsalis on Music on public television, while during the same year National Public Radio broadcast his series Making the Music. Both programs won the George Foster Peabody Award, the highest award given in journalism. In December 2011, Marsalis was named cultural correspondent for CBS This Morning. [12] He is a member of the CuriosityStream Advisory Board. [13] He serves as director of the Juilliard Jazz Studies program. In 2015, Cornell University appointed him A. Marsalis was involved in writing, arranging, and performing music for the 2019 Daniel Pritzker film Bolden. In The Jazz Book, the authors list what Marsalis considers to be the fundamentals of jazz: blues, standards, a swing beat, tonality, harmony, craftsmanship, and mastery of the tradition beginning with New Orleans jazz up to Ornette Coleman. He has little or no respect for free jazz, avant-garde, hip hop, fusion, European, or Asian jazz. Jazz critic Scott Yanow regards Marsalis as talented but criticizes his “selective knowledge of jazz history” and has said Marsalis considers “post-1965 avant-garde playing to be outside of jazz and 1970s fusion to be barren” and the unfortunate result of the “somewhat eccentric beliefs of Stanley Crouch”. [4] In The New York Times in 1997, pianist Keith Jarrett said Marsalis imitates other people’s styles too well… His music sounds like a high school trumpet player to me. Bassist Stanley Clarke said, All the guys that are criticizing – like Wynton Marsalis and those guys – I would hate to be around to hear those guys playing on top of a groove! ” But Clarke also said, “These things I’ve said about Wynton are my criticism of him, but the positive things I have to say about him outweigh the negative. He has brought respectability back to jazz. When he met Miles Davis, one of his idols, Davis said, So here’s the police… “[5] For his part, Marsalis compared Miles Davis’s embrace of pop music to “a general who has betrayed his country. “[5] He called rap “hormone driven pop music”[5] and said that hip hop “reinforces destructive behavior at home and influences the world’s view of the Afro American in a decidedly negative direction. Marsalis responded to criticism by saying, You can’t enter a battle and expect not to get hurt. “[5] He said that losing the freedom to criticize is “to accept mob rule, it is a step back towards slavery. Marsalis is the son of jazz musician Ellis Marsalis Jr. (pianist), grandson of Ellis Marsalis Sr. And brother of Branford (saxophonist), Delfeayo (trombonist), and Jason (drummer). Marsalis’s son, Jasper Armstrong Marsalis, is a music producer known professionally as Slauson Malone. Marsalis was raised Catholic. Marsalis received the National Medal of Arts from President George W. In 1983, at the age of 22, he became the only musician to win Grammy Awards in jazz and classical music during the same year. [5] At the award ceremonies the next year, he won again in both categories. After his first album came out in 1982, Marsalis won polls in DownBeat magazine for Musician of the Year, Best Trumpeter, and Album of the Year. In 2017, he was one of the youngest members to be inducted into the DownBeat Hall of Fame. In 1997, he became the first jazz musician to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music for his oratorio Blood on the Fields. In a note to him, Zarin Mehta wrote, I was not surprised at your winning the Pulitzer Prize for Blood on the Fields. It speaks to us all… I’m sure that, somewhere in the firmament, Buddy Bolden, Louis Armstrong and legions of others are smiling down on you.

A MULTI PAGE CONTRACT WITH WILLIAM MORRIS AGENCY INFORMATION AS WELL AS A VINTAGE 8X10 IONCH PHOTO OF COMEDY TEAM LEGENDS JERRY STILLER AND ANNE MEARA FROM 1968. Gerald Isaac Stiller was an American actor, comedian and author. He spent many years as part of the comedy duo Stiller and Meara with his wife, Anne Meara, to whom he was married for over 60 years until her death in 2015. Anne Meara Stiller was an American actress and comedian. Along with her husband Jerry Stiller, she was one-half of a prominent 1960s comedy team, Stiller and Meara. Their son is actor Ben Stiller. She was also featured on stage, in television, and in numerous films, and later she became a playwright. Anne Meara Stiller (September 20, 1929 – May 23, 2015) was an American actress and comedian. During her career, Meara was nominated for four Emmy Awards and a Tony Award, and she won a Writers Guild Award as a co-writer for the TV movie The Other Woman. Television, stage, film, video. Meara was born in Brooklyn, New York, [1] the daughter of parents of Irish descent, [2] Mary (née Dempsey)[3] and Edward Joseph Meara, a corporate lawyer for American Standard. [4] An only child, she was raised in Rockville Centre, New York, on Long Island. When Anne was 11 years old, her mother died by suicide. When she was 18, Meara spent a year studying acting at the Dramatic Workshop at The New School and at HB Studio[5] under Uta Hagen in Manhattan. The following year, 1948, she began her career as an actress in summer stock. Publicity photo of Meara and Jerry Stiller, 1965. Meara met actor-comedian Jerry Stiller in 1953, and they married in 1954. Until he suggested it, she had never thought of doing comedy. “Jerry started us being a comedy team, ” she said. He always thought I would be a great comedy partner. [1] They joined the Chicago improvisational company The Compass Players (which later became The Second City), and after leaving, formed the comedy team of Stiller and Meara. In 1961, they were performing in nightclubs in New York, and by the following year were considered a “national phenomenon”, said the New York Times. Their often improvised comedy routines brought many of their relationship foibles to live audiences. Their skits focused on domestic themes, as did Nichols and May, another comedy team during that period from the Chicago Compass Players project. “They were Nichols and May without the acid and with warmth, ” notes author Lawrence Epstein. [6] They also added a new twist to their comedy act, he adds, by sometimes playing up the fact that Stiller was Jewish and Meara was Catholic. [7] After Nichols and May broke up as a team in 1961, Stiller and Meara were the number-one couple comedy team by the late 1960s. And as Mike Nichols and Elaine May were not married, Stiller and Meara became the most famous married couple comedy team since Burns and Allen. After some years honing the act, Stiller and Meara became regulars on The Ed Sullivan Show, with 36 appearances, [8] and other TV programs, including The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. They released their first LP in 1963, Presenting America’s New Comedy Sensation: Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara Live at The Hungry I, which became a hit. By 1970, however, they broke up their act because it was affecting their marriage: “I didn’t know where the act ended and our marriage began, ” complained Meara in 1977. [8] Stiller agreed, fearing, I would have lost her as a wife. During the 1970s, Meara and Stiller wrote and performed many radio commercials together for Blue Nun Wine. She had a recurring role on the sitcom Rhoda as airline stewardess Sally Gallagher, one of the title character’s best friends. She also had a small role as Mrs. Curry opposite Laurence Olivier in The Boys from Brazil (1978). In 1975, she starred in her own series, Kate McShane, on CBS. She was nominated for an Emmy Award as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 1976, however, the show was cancelled after 10 episodes.

During that time, she acted in the movie Fame (1980), in which she played English teacher Elizabeth Sherwood. [12] She also appeared as the grandmother in the TV series ALF in the late 1980s. The Stiller and Meara Show, her own 1986 TV sitcom, in which Stiller played the deputy mayor of New York City and Meara portrayed his wife, a television commercial actress, was unsuccessful. From 1999 to 2007, Meara guest starred on The King of Queens (where her husband played Arthur Spooner), first as Mary Finnegan, then as Veronica Olchin (mother of Spence, who was played by Patton Oswalt). Veronica and Arthur were married in the series finale. Starting in October 2010, Meara and Jerry Stiller began starring in a Yahoo! Web series called Stiller & Meara produced by Red Hour Digital, a production company owned by their son Ben Stiller. She accepted a role in the off-Broadway play Love, Loss, and What I Wore with Conchata Ferrell, AnnaLynne McCord, Minka Kelly, and B. [15] She taught a technique and scene study class at HB Studio until her death. In 1995, Meara wrote the comedy After-Play, which became an off-Broadway production. [1][16] In her later years, she portrayed recurring roles on the television shows Sex and the City (as Mary Brady) and The King of Queens (as Veronica Olchin). During the 2004-05 season, she appeared in an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She was the consulting director of J. The Jewish American Princesses of Comedy, a 2007 off-Broadway production that featured live stand-up routines by four female Jewish comics juxtaposed with the stories of legendary performers from the 1950s and 1960s: Totie Fields, Jean Carroll, Pearl Williams, Betty Walker, and Belle Barth. In 2009, Meara wrote her personal life reflections in a New York-focused online blog, titled Mr. Beller’s Neighborhood — New York City Stories. In it, Meara recalled her mother’s death and her childhood experiences at Catholic boarding school. Meara was born, baptised and raised a Roman Catholic. She converted to Judaism six years after marrying Stiller. [18][19] She insisted that she did not convert at Stiller’s request, explaining, “Catholicism was dead to me”. She took her conversion seriously and studied the Jewish faith in such depth that her Jewish-born husband quipped, “Being married to Anne has made me more Jewish”. [20] They discussed how they met and their early career during a guest appearance on the TV game show What’s My Line? Together, Meara and her husband had two children, Amy (born 1961) and Ben (born 1965). Meara died on May 23, 2015, at her home in Manhattan at the age of 85, having suffered multiple strokes.

On February 9, 2007 Meara and Jerry Stiller received stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7018 Hollywood Blvd. Anne Meara, who was half of one of the most successful male-female comedy teams of all time and who went on to enjoy a long and diverse career as an actress and, late in life, a playwright, died on Saturday in Manhattan. Her death was confirmed by her husband and longtime comedy partner, Jerry Stiller, and her son, the actor and director Ben Stiller. They did not provide the cause. Meara was an experienced but relatively unknown stage actress when she joined forces with Jerry Stiller as members of the Compass Players, an improvisational theater troupe that evolved into Second City, and later on their own as Stiller and Meara. Another male-female team, Mike Nichols and Elaine May, also got their start with the Compass Players. Stiller and Meara began performing in New York nightclubs in 1961 and within a year had become a national phenomenon. But even during the act’s heyday, Ms. Meara also pursued a separate career as an actress. She had already amassed an impressive list of stage credits before beginning her comedy career, including an Obie Award-winning performance in “Mädchen in Uniform” in 1955 and roles in several Shakespeare in the Park productions. She was a witch in “Macbeth” in 1957. She later appeared both on and off Broadway, in films, and especially on television, where she was seen on a wide range of series, from “Rhoda” and “Archie Bunker’s Place” on CBS to “Sex and the City” and “Oz” on HBO. Dig deeper into the moment. A tall redhead with a brassy voice and a self-confident demeanor, Ms. Meara was a natural for comedy but frequently played dramatic parts as well. “Comedy, drama, it’s the same deal, ” she said in an interview for the Archive of American Television in 2008. You don’t really act differently; you just make adjustments. ImageAnne Meara in her West Side apartment in 1995. Anne Meara in her West Side apartment in 1995. Conrad/The New York Times. Anne Meara was born in Brooklyn on Sept. 20, 1929, and raised in Rockville Centre on Long Island. An only child, she was the daughter of Edward Meara, a lawyer, and the former Mary Dempsey, who committed suicide when her daughter was 11. After studying for a year at the Dramatic Workshop at the New School in Manhattan, Anne began her career in summer stock in 1948. Stiller in 1953 and married him soon after, but it would be some time before they began working as a team. The idea, they both agreed, was his; she did not think of herself as a comedian, but because work was scarce she reluctantly agreed. “Jerry started us being a comedy team, ” she said in 2008. At that time in my life, I disdained comedians. In the 1960s Stiller and Meara were regular guests on the variety and talk shows of Ed Sullivan and many others, and performed in nightclubs all over the country. In the 1970s their voices were heard on radio commercials for Blue Nun wine and other products. Stiller’s relationship was the basis for their best-known comedy routines, which told the continuing story of Hershey Horowitz and Mary Elizabeth Doyle, a short Jewish man and a tall Catholic woman who had virtually nothing in common except their love for each other. On their first date, arranged by a computer, Hershey and Mary Elizabeth were surprised to learn that they lived on the same block but knew none of the same people. There was one significant difference between the real-life couple and the comedy version: Ms. Meara, though born and raised Roman Catholic, converted to Judaism in 1961. By the end of the decade, Mr. Meara were both concentrating on their individual careers, but they continued to perform together from time to time. She made several guest appearances on the sitcom “The King of Queens, ” on which Mr. Stiller (who had also memorably played Frank Costanza on “Seinfeld”) was a regular; her character married his in the series finale in 2007.

Jerry Stiller and Ms. Meara on the set of “The King of Queens” in 2003. In 2010 they began appearing in a series of web videos produced by their son in which they sat on a couch and talked, to the camera and occasionally to each other, about a variety of topics. Meara starred in “Kate McShane, ” an hourlong drama about a lawyer that, despite generally good reviews, was canceled after two months. “They never really made her a full-blooded woman, ” she said of her character in 2008. She had no love life; she was really a nun. That was her only starring role on television, but she kept busy in a range of supporting roles on the small screen well into the 21st century. In addition to her prodigious prime-time work, she appeared occasionally on the soap opera “All My Children” in the 1990s. During her career, she was nominated for four Emmy Awards and won a Writers Guild Award as a co-writer of “The Other Woman, ” a 1983 TV movie. She had memorable character parts in movies as well, including a teacher in “Fame” (1980) and a personnel manager in “Reality Bites” (1994), Ben Stiller’s feature-film directorial debut. Onstage, she was in the original Off Broadway production of John Guare’s dark comedy “The House of Blue Leaves” in 1971 – her son had a small role in the 1986 Broadway revival and the lead role in a second revival, in 2011 – and she was nominated for a Tony for “Anna Christie” in 1993. In addition to her husband and her son, Ms. Meara is survived by a daughter, the actress and comedian Amy Stiller, and two grandchildren. Meara branched out into writing in 1995, when her comedy “After-Play” was presented Off Broadway. Her “Down the Garden Paths” had a brief Off Broadway run in 2000, with a cast headed by Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson. “After-Play” has been produced by a number of regional theaters, sometimes with both Ms. Stiller in the cast. But neither of them was in the original cast, and she did not conceive it as a Stiller and Meara vehicle. “I wanted to do something on my own, ” she told The New York Times in 1995. It’s the same way he feels good about doing’Seinfeld. The irony is, I feel we’re closer personally than when we were out going to nightclubs. Anne Meara Biography (1929-).

Stiller, Jerry, Married to Laughter: A Love Story Featuring Anne Meara, Simon & Schuster, 2000. Gerald Isaac Stiller (June 8, 1927 – May 11, 2020) was an American actor, comedian and author. Stiller saw a late-career resurgence starting in 1993, playing George Costanza’s father Frank on the sitcom Seinfeld, a part which earned him an Emmy nomination. The year Seinfeld went off the air, Stiller began his role as the eccentric Arthur Spooner on the CBS comedy series The King of Queens, another role which garnered him widespread acclaim. Stiller is the father of actor Ben Stiller, and the father and son appeared together in films such as Zoolander, Heavyweights, Hot Pursuit, The Heartbreak Kid, and Zoolander 2. He also performed voice-over work for television and films including The Lion King 1½ and Planes: Fire and Rescue. In his later career, Stiller became known for playing grumpy and eccentric characters who were nevertheless beloved. [5] His family was Jewish. His paternal grandparents immigrated from Galicia (southeast Poland and western Ukraine), and his mother was born in Frampol, Poland. [6] He lived in the Williamsburg and East New York neighborhoods before his family moved to the Lower East Side, [7] where he attended Seward Park High School, [8] where he played Adolf Hitler in a school production. Upon his return from service in the U. Army during World War II, [10][11] Stiller attended Syracuse University, earning a bachelor’s degree in Speech and Drama in 1950. [12][13] He also studied drama at HB Studio in Greenwich Village. [14] In the 1953 Phoenix Theater production of Coriolanus (produced by John Houseman), Stiller, along with Gene Saks and Jack Klugman, formed (as told by Houseman in the 1980 memoir Front and Center) “the best trio of Shakespearian clowns that I have ever seen on any stage”. Also in 1953, Stiller met actress-comedian Anne Meara, and they married in 1954. Until Stiller suggested it, Meara had never thought of doing comedy. [16] They joined the Chicago improvisational company The Compass Players (which later became The Second City) and, after leaving, began performing together. In 1961 they were performing in nightclubs in New York City and by the following year were considered a “national phenomenon”, said the New York Times. The comedy team Stiller and Meara, composed of Stiller and his wife, Anne Meara, was successful throughout the 1960s, with numerous appearances on television variety programs, primarily on The Ed Sullivan Show. [17] In 1970, they broke up the live act before it broke up their marriage. They subsequently forged a career in radio commercials, notably the campaign for Blue Nun wine. They also starred in their own syndicated five-minute sketch comedy show on radio, Take Five with Stiller and Meara, from 1977 to 1978. From 1979 to 1982, Stiller and Meara hosted HBO Sneak Previews, a half-hour show produced monthly on which they described the movies and programs to be featured in the coming month. [5] They also did some comedy sketches between show discussions. The duo had their own 1986 TV sitcom, The Stiller and Meara Show, in which Stiller played the deputy mayor of New York City and Meara portrayed his wife, a TV commercial actress. Late in his career, Stiller earned the part of the short-tempered Frank Costanza, father of George Costanza, on the sitcom Seinfeld, a role which Stiller played from 1993 until 1998. [19] Stiller’s character as initially envisioned was a “meek” and “Thurberesque” character that required him to wear a bald cap. After a couple of days of rehearsal Stiller realized the character wasn’t working and asked Seinfeld co-creator Larry David if he could perform the character in a different way, which was more in line with his final characterization on the show. [20][21] For his portrayal of Frank, Stiller gained widespread critical and popular acclaim, including being nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series in 1997 and winning an American Comedy Award for Funniest Male Guest Appearance in a TV Series in 1998. After Seinfeld ended, Stiller had planned on retiring. However, Kevin James asked him to join the cast of The King of Queens. James, who played the leading role of Doug Heffernan, had told Stiller that he needed him to have a successful show. Stiller agreed and played the role of Arthur Spooner, the father of Carrie Heffernan, from 1998 until 2007. Stiller said that this role tested his acting ability more than any other had, and that, before being a part of The King of Queens, he only saw himself as a decent actor. Stiller played himself in filmed skits opening and closing Canadian rock band Rush’s 30th Anniversary Tour concerts in 2004. These appearances are seen on the band’s DVD R30: 30th Anniversary World Tour, released in 2005. Stiller later appeared in cameos for in-concert films for the band’s 2007-08 Snakes & Arrows Tour. [24] He also made several appearances on the game show, Tattletales, with his wife, Anne Meara. In the late 1990s, Stiller appeared in a series of Nike television commercials as the ghost of deceased Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi. He also appeared in various motion pictures, most notably Zoolander (2001) and Secret of the Andes (1999). On February 9, 2007, Stiller and Meara were honored with a joint star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On October 28, 2010, the couple appeared on an episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Stiller voiced the announcer on the children’s educational show Crashbox. Starting in October 2010, Stiller and Meara began starring in Stiller & Meara, a Yahoo web series from Red Hour Digital in which they discussed current topics. Each episode was about two minutes long. [25][26] Stiller also worked as a spokesman for Xfinity. The book discussed Festivus, the fictional holiday promulgated by Stiller’s Seinfeld character Frank Costanza. Stiller’s son, Ben. Stiller was married to Anne Meara for over 60 years, from 1954 until her death on May 23, 2015. [29] The two met in an agent’s office. Meara was upset about an interaction with the casting agent, so Stiller took her out for coffee-all he could afford-and they remained together ever since. Meara was Irish Catholic and converted to Judaism before the couple’s two children were born. [9] Their son is actor-comedian Ben Stiller (born 1965) and their daughter is actress Amy Stiller (born 1961). [30] He has two grandchildren through Ben. Stiller died from natural causes at his home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on May 11, 2020, at the age of 92, less than a month before his 93rd birthday. His death was announced by his son, Ben Stiller. [31][32] Many actors Stiller worked with, including Seinfeld castmates Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, Michael Richards[33] and King of Queens castmates Kevin James and Leah Remini, paid tributes to him on social media.

In 2007 Stiller and his wife Anne Meara received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When Jerry Stiller told his father he wanted to become an actor, his father offered an alternate plan. He said, “Why don’t you be a stagehand – that’s like being on the stage – at least you’ll be working every night, ” Stiller told Fresh Air in 1993. Stiller did not heed his father’s advice and went on to have a long career in show business. He performed comedy on stage and screen, and, in later years, made a name for himself playing George Costanza’s hotheaded father on Seinfeld. Stiller died of natural causes, his son Ben Stiller tweeted Monday. Stiller was born in Brooklyn in 1927. After serving in World War II, he teamed up with his wife, Anne Meara, to form the Stiller and Meara comedy duo – a practical move motivated by love. “We wanted to keep the marriage together, ” he joked – she was tall and Catholic, he was short and Jewish – and until they partnered up, “we never got jobs together, ” Stiller told the Archive of American Television. Stiller and Meara enjoyed success as a duo for many years but eventually decided to pursue careers on their own. Looking back in 1993, Stiller told Fresh Air he and Meara were young parents juggling a show business schedule – and trying to figure out a way to do everything. “Here were a husband and wife working together and suddenly you’re being asked to play Las Vegas, ” he recalled. Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara pose on the set of The King of Queens in November 2003. After stints on Broadway and on several TV shows in the 1970s, Stiller’s most notable role came in the early’90s, when he joined the cast of Seinfeld. Stiller said producer Larry David was looking for an actor who would “play it down” – and he did at first – but felt the approach wasn’t working. So, in a final dress rehearsal in front of a live audience, Stiller played Costanza’s temperament up – way up. In a now-famous episode, the frequently furious Costanza is encouraged to recite the mantra “serenity now” every time he gets riled up. Stiller went on to earn an Emmy nomination for his work on Seinfeld. Years later, he played another angry dad on the show King of Queens. Stiller was also a father in real life, but not one fueled by anger. His son, actor Ben Stiller, told NPR that his dad was always supportive – and hilarious. “He just can’t help but be funny because he’s so committed to being who he is, ” Stiller said. Long-Time Actress And Comedian Anne Meara Dies. The father and son appeared together in Ben’s Zoolander movies. When Meara died in 2015, she and Stiller had been married for more than 60 years. Ben Stiller said his mother’s humor tended to be dark, but his father’s was always intended to bring joy, and perhaps a bit of “serenity now, ” to others.

Charles left home when he was 15 to play saxophone with the Rabbit’s Foot Minstrel Show. When back in New Orleans, he played in the house band at the Dew Drop Inn. He served in the Navy from 1956 to 1958 and discovered the music scene on Beale Street while stationed in Memphis, Tennessee, later touring with B. King and Bobby (Blue) Bland. He joined the band of fellow New Orleanian Larry Williams, but his addiction to heroin landed him short jail terms for the shoplifting that sometimes supported his habit. He finally overcame his addictions in 1986. Beginning in 1963 he served three and a half years at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola for possession of marijuana. He practiced in the prison music room with other incarcerated New Orleans musicians, notably pianist James Booker and drummer James Black. Moving to New York City after release from prison, he explored modern jazz and toured with Johnnie Taylor, Clarence Carter, and O. The blend of traditional and funk music on The Wild Tchoupitoulas album (1976) has made it an icon of New Orleans musical culture. Shortly afterward, the four brothers formed The Neville Brothers, recording more than a dozen albums and building a worldwide following. For years they were the closing act on the main stage of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. He moved to rural Massachusetts in the 1990s with his wife, Kristin Neville, and children and continued to perform and record with family members and a wide variety of musicians for the rest of his life. His recordings include an album with the groups Diversity, with jazz and classical musicians, and Songcatchers, with Native American musicians. In 2008 he released his own album, reflecting his interests in Eastern spirituality, Safe in Buddha’s Palm. He also performed with two of his sons, Talyn and Khalif, as the New England Nevilles. After 2012 he toured with Aaron Neville’s solo band and appeared with him for Aaron’s first performance at the French Quarter Festival in 2017. Charles’s last Jazz Fest performance was with Dr. He was scheduled to join in “The Neville Family Groove”, a musical celebration of the Nevilles at Tipitina’s in November 2017, but was by then hospitalized with pancreatic cancer, from which he died on April 26, 2018 at the age of 79 years old.

Charles Neville, the saxophonist in New Orleans’s most celebrated band, the Neville Brothers, died on Friday at his home in Huntington, Mass. His family announced his death, of pancreatic cancer, in an online statement. On Facebook, his brother and bandmate Aaron Neville, wrote, You’ll always be in my heart and soul, like a tattoo. The Neville Brothers gathered New Orleans’s abundant musical heritage and carried it forward. Art, Aaron, Charles and Cyril Neville formed their band in 1977 and maintained it, amid other projects, until disbanding in 2012. They reunited for a farewell concert in New Orleans in 2015. The group melded rhythm and blues, gospel, doo-wop, rock, blues, soul, jazz, funk and New Orleans’s own parade and Mardi Gras rhythms, in songs that mingled a party spirit with social consciousness. Charles Neville – who usually performed in a beret and a tie-dyed shirt, with an irrepressible smile – was the band’s jazz facet, reflecting his decades of experience before the Neville Brothers got started. His soprano saxophone was upfront on the Nevilles’ “Healing Chant, ” which won a Grammy Award as best pop instrumental in 1990. The Neville Brothers on a visit to New York City in 1989. From left, Cyril, Art, Charles and Aaron. Charles Neville was born in New Orleans on Dec. 28, 1938, the second of the four sons of Arthur Lanon Neville Sr. And Amelia Neville, formerly Landry. At 15, Charles left home to play saxophone with the Rabbit’s Foot Minstrel Show. He went on to work with blues and R&B singers, including Larry Wiliams, Johnny Ace, Big Maybelle, Jimmy Reed and Little Walter. Back in New Orleans, he was a member of the house band at the Dew Drop Inn, working with local and visiting stars. After serving in the Navy from 1956 to 1958, stationed in Memphis, he went on to tour with B. Neville began using heroin in the 1950s, sometimes shoplifting to support his drug use and serving short jail terms. It was a habit he would not completely overcome until 1986. He was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana in 1963 and imprisoned for three and a half years at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola. He stayed in practice by playing with other jailed musicians, including the great New Orleans pianist James Booker. Upon his release he moved to New York City. He became involved in modern jazz and toured with soul singers like Johnnie Taylor, Clarence Carter and O. Big Chief Jolly into the studio with a band featuring his nephews, the four Neville brothers. The album’s fusion of traditional street chants and funk made it a cornerstone of modern New Orleans music. The brothers decided to keep working together. In New Orleans, the Neville Brothers were a supergroup. Art Neville had sung the 1954 hit “Mardi Gras Mambo” and in 1969 formed the influential New Orleans funk band the Meters, which Cyril Neville later joined. Aaron Neville had a Top 10 pop hit in 1966 with Tell It Like It Is. The brothers brought their old repertoires and a growing new one to their concerts, gaining nationwide and worldwide followings on tour. They were the perennial finale on the main stage at the annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and played New Year’s Eve shows at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. The Neville Brothers recorded more than a dozen studio and live albums, although the only one to sell as many as a half-million copies was “Yellow Moon” (1989). A Rap Song Lays Bare Israel’s Jewish-Arab Fracture – and Goes Viral. Brilliance, and Heartbreak: The Story of Chris Paul’s Career. The Riddle of Riley Keough. Continue reading the main story. Neville also recorded with Diversity, a group mixing jazz and classical musicians, and with Native American musicians in the group Songcatchers. He released an album as a leader, “Safe in Buddha’s Palm” – the title reflected his longtime interest in Eastern philosophies – in 2008. In the 1990s he moved to rural Massachusetts, and he performed with his sons, Khalif and Talyn, as the New England Nevilles. Failing health prevented him from joining a Neville family reunion concert in 2017. In addition to his three brothers, he is survived by his wife, Kristin Neville; his sister, Althelgra Neville Gabriel; and his children – Charmaine, Khalif, Talyn, Charlotte, Carlos and Charles Neville; Charlene White, Rowena Alix and Charlestine Jones – as well as numerous grandchildren. Nt to use their art the same way I’m trying to use mine. I got that consciousness from Woody Guthrie. People are talking to me, but some of the people I know went through much more than I did. There are 3,000 children missing in New Orleans. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children places the figure at 1,300. Hundreds of bodies are waiting to be identified. The people of New Orleans have been scattered to the four winds. Their lives were determined by people in Washington and Baton Rouge before the storm hit. The 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Wards should have their own tourist commission. Build our own hotels and restaurants in those areas. The key is ownership. Then I would think about going back and living there. But we’re still practicing American democracy. How can we ever bring it to somebody else? The Meters are an American funk band formed in 1965 in New Orleans by Zigaboo Modeliste (drums), George Porter Jr. (bass), Leo Nocentelli (guitar) and Art Neville (keyboards). The band performed and recorded their own music from the late 1960s until 1977 and played an influential role as backing musicians for other artists, including Lee Dorsey, Robert Palmer, Dr. John, and Allen Toussaint. Their original songs “Cissy Strut” and “Look-Ka Py Py” are considered funk classics. While they rarely enjoyed significant mainstream success, they are considered originators of funk along with artists like James Brown, and their work is influential on many other bands, both their contemporaries and modern musicians. [2][3] Their sound is defined by a combination of tight melodic grooves and syncopated New Orleans “second line” rhythms under highly charged guitar and keyboard riffing. [4][5] The band has been nominated four times for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, most recently in 2017. [6] In 2018 the band was presented with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. The Meters/The Original Meters/The Meter Men. Art Neville, the group’s frontman, launched a solo career around the New Orleans area in the mid-1950s while still in high school. The Meters formed in 1965 with a line-up of keyboardist and vocalist Art Neville, guitarist Leo Nocentelli, bassist George Porter Jr. And drummer Joseph “Zigaboo” Modeliste. They were later joined by percussionist-vocalist Cyril Neville. The Meters became the house band for Allen Toussaint and his record label, Sansu Enterprises. In 1969 the Meters released “Sophisticated Cissy” and “Cissy Strut”, both major R&B chart hits. “Look-Ka Py Py” and “Chicken Strut” were their hits the following year. After a label shift in 1972, the Meters had difficulty returning to the charts, but they worked with Dr. John, Paul McCartney, King Biscuit Boy, Labelle, Robert Palmer and others. In 1975 Paul McCartney invited the Meters to play at the release party for his Venus and Mars album aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones was in attendance at the event and was greatly taken with the Meters and their sound. [2](p166)[9] The Rolling Stones invited the band to open for them on their Tour of the Americas’75 and Tour of Europe’76. [4] That same year, the Meters recorded one of their most successful albums, Fire on the Bayou. From 1976 to 77 they played in The Wild Tchoupitoulas with George and Amos Landry and The Neville Brothers. Art and Cyril Neville left the band in early 1977, but The Meters still appeared on Saturday Night Live on March 19, 1977, during the show’s second season. After the Nevilles’ departure, David Batiste Sr. Took over on keyboards while Willie West joined as the band’s lead singer. Porter left the group later that year and by 1980 The Meters had officially broken up. After the break-up, Neville continued his career as part of The Neville Brothers, Modeliste toured with Keith Richards and Ron Wood, while Nocentelli and Porter became in-demand session players and formed new bands. In 1989 Art Neville, George Porter Jr. And Leo Nocentelli reunited as The Meters, adding drummer Russell Batiste Jr. To replace Zigaboo Modeliste. Nocentelli left the group in 1994 and was replaced with guitarist Brian Stoltz, formerly of The Neville Brothers. The band was renamed The Funky Meters. They were referred to as “the Funky Meters” as early as 1989. They were billed as such when playing in a tiny venue called Benny’s Bar at Valence and Camp streets. The Funky Meters continued to play into the 2000s with Stoltz being replaced by Art Neville’s son, Ian Neville, from 2007 to 2011 while he went to pursue a solo career. In 2000 a big offer enticed all four original Meters to reunite for a one-night stand at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco; by this time Modeliste wanted to make the reunion a permanent one, but the other members and their management teams objected. [10] It wasn’t until Quint Davis, producer and director of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, got them to “put aside their differences and hammer out the details” and perform at the Festival in 2005. In June 2011 The Original Meters along with Allen Toussaint and Dr. John played the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. The six men performed Dr. The Original Meters also played a set at the 2011 Voodoo Experience in New Orleans. In late 2012, Zigaboo Modeliste, Leo Nocentelli, and George Porter Jr. Played concerts with Phish keyboardist Page McConnell under the name The Meter Men. [14] During his time off from Phish, Page McConnell has continued to play with Porter Jr. Nocentelli, and Modeliste under the moniker of The Meter Men since those shows in 2012. The Meter Men had performed 16 shows together as of spring 2015, with their third annual appearance as a late night act during New Orleans’ Jazz and Heritage Festival. [15][16] In 2014, during The Meter Men’s second appearance as a late night act during Jazzfest, the band performed at The Republic on April 26, 2014, after McConnell had headlined the NOLA Jazzfest at the New Orleans Fairgrounds with Phish earlier that day. [17][18] The Meter Men had also played the previous night at The Republic. [19] The states The Meter Men had appeared in as of spring 2015 were Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Colorado, and Vermont, with one other performance in Washington, D. As of 2017, The Funky Meters tour consistently performing songs by The Meters, while The Meters perform sporadically. The lineup of Neville, Porter, Nocentelli and Modeliste typically bill themselves as The Original Meters to avoid confusion with The Funky Meters. When not performing with The Original Meters, guitarist Leo Nocentelli leads his own group, The Meters Experience, which also performs the music of The Meters. As of 2018, the most recent performance of the original Meters (with all four of the founding members) took place at the Arroyo Seco Festival in Pasadena, California on June 25, 2017. The song “They All Ask’d for You” from the 1975 album Fire on the Bayou remains popular in the New Orleans region and is the unofficial theme song of the Audubon Zoo.

According to Brian Knight of The Vermont Review, In a sense, the Meters defined the basic characteristics of the groove. While Funkadelic, Cameo, James Brown and Sly Stone are synonymous with funk, these artists look to the Meters for the basic-down to earthy and raw sound. “[32] Music critique Robert Christgau called the band “totally original and placed the compilation album Funkify Your Life: The Meters Anthology on his list of top six New Orleans classics. The Meters’ music has been sampled by musicians around the world, including rap artists Heavy D, LL Cool J and Queen Latifah, Musiq, Big Daddy Kane, Run-DMC, N. A, Ice Cube, Scarface, Cypress Hill, EPMD, Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, Naughty by Nature, and Tweet. Red Hot Chili Peppers covered the Meters’ song “Africa”, renamed “Hollywood (Africa)”, on their 1985 album Freaky Styley. The eclectic jazz-fusion guitarist Oz Noy has recorded his version of “Cissy Strut” twice. Bands such as the Grateful Dead, [36] KVHW, Steve Kimock Band, Widespread Panic, [37] Rebirth Brass Band, Galactic, Jaco Pastorius and The String Cheese Incident[38] have performed songs by The Meters in their concert rotations. The Meters’ songs have been used in the films Two Can Play That Game, Jackie Brown, Drumline, Hancock, Calendar Girls, Hitch, Red, The Best of Enemies, The Kitchen, Beerfest and Another Round. [39] The band’s songs were also featured in the television shows The Wire, Ballers and Disjointed as well as the video game Grand Theft Auto IV. In 1970, The Meters were named Best Rhythm and Blues Instrumental Group by both Billboard and Record World magazines. The Meters have been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame four times since becoming eligible in 1994: 1996, 2012, 2013 and 2017. And The Meters were recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the second annual Jammy Awards in 2001. In 2011, the iconic Meters’ song “Cissy Strut” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2013, The Meters received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Big Easy Music Awards. The band was featured on the 2017 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival’s commemorative poster. In January 2018, The Meters were honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. The Neville Brothers were an American R&B/soul/funk group, formed in 1977 in New Orleans, Louisiana. 1941, and Cyril b. 1948 came together to take part in the recording session of the Wild Tchoupitoulas, a Mardi Gras Indian group led by the Nevilles’ uncle, George Landry (“Big Chief Jolly”). Their debut album The Neville Brothers was released in 1978 on Capitol Records. In 1987, the group released Uptown on the EMI label, featuring guests including Branford Marsalis, Keith Richards, and Carlos Santana. The following year saw the release of Yellow Moon from A&M Records produced by Daniel Lanois. The track “Healing Chant” from that album won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance at the 1990 Grammy ceremony. In 1990, the Neville Brothers contributed “In the Still of the Night” to the AIDS benefit album Red Hot + Blue produced by the Red Hot Organization. Also in 1990, they appeared on the bill at that year’s Glastonbury Festival. [5] Due to Art Neville devoting more time to his other act, The Meters, the band kept a low profile in the late 1990s onto the early 2000s. They made a comeback in 2004, however, with the album, Walkin’ in the Shadow of Life, on Back Porch Records, their first newly recorded effort in five years. All brothers except Charles, a Massachusetts resident, had been living in New Orleans, but following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 Cyril and Aaron moved out of the city. Infrequently, Aaron’s son Ivan Neville (keyboards) and Art’s son Ian Neville (electric guitar), both of the band Dumpstaphunk, have played with the Neville Brothers. The final Neville Brothers studio album, titled Walkin’ in the Shadow of Life, was released in 2004. [9] The group formally disbanded in 2012 but reunited in 2015 for a farewell concert in New Orleans. Charles Neville died of pancreatic cancer on April 26, 2018, at the age of 79. On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed the Neville Brothers among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.
