| Jean-Baptiste Illinois Jacquet (October 31, 1922 - July 22, 2004) |
| was a jazz tenor saxophonist most famous for his solo on "Flying |
| Home". He is better known simply as Illinois Jacquet. Although he |
| was a pioneer of the honking tenor sax that became a regular |
| feature of jazz playing and a hallmark of rock and roll, he was a |
| skilled and melodic improviser, both on up-tempo tunes and |
| ballads. |
| |
| Jacquet was born to a Sioux mother and a Creole father in |
| Broussard, Louisiana and moved to Houston, Texas as an infant. His |
| father, Gilbert Jacquet, was a part-time band leader. As a child |
| he performed in his father's band, primarily on the alto |
| saxophone. His older brother Russell played trumpet and his |
| brother Linton played drums. |
| |
| At 15, Jacquet began playing with the Milton Larkin Orchestra, a |
| Houston-area dance band. In 1939, he moved to Los Angeles, |
| California where met Nat King Cole. Jacquet would sit in with the |
| trio on occasion. In 1940, Cole introduced Jacquet to Lionel |
| Hampton who had returned to California and was putting together a |
| big band. Hampton wanted to hire Jacquet, but asked the young |
| Jacquet to switch to tenor sax. |
| |
| In 1942, at age 19, Jacquet soloed on the Hampton Orchestra's |
| recording of "Flying Home", one of the very first times a honking |
| tenor sax was heard on record. The record became a hit. a jazz |
| classic as well as one of the first rock and roll records. The |
| song immediately became the climax for the live shows and Jacquet |
| became exhausted from having to "bring down the house" every |
| night. The solo was built to weave in and out of the arrangement |
| and continued to be played by every saxophone player who followed |
| Jacquet in the band, notably Arnett Cobb and Dexter Gordon, who |
| achieved almost as much fame as Jacquet in playing it. It is one |
| of the very few jazz solos to have been memorized and played very |
| much the same way by everyone who played the song. |
| |
| He quit the Hampton band in 1943 and joined Cab Calloway's |
| Orchestra. Jacquet appeared with Cab Calloway's band in Lena |
| Horne's movie Stormy Weather. |
| |
| In 1944 he returned to California and started a small band with |
| his brother Russell and a young Charlie Mingus. It was at this |
| time that he appeared in the Academy Award-nominated short film |
| Jammin' the Blues with Billie Holiday and Lester Young. He also |
| appeared at the first Jazz at the Philharmonic concert. |
| |
| In 1946 he moved to New York City and joined the Count Basie |
| orchestra, replacing Lester Young. Jacquet continued to perform |
| (mostly in Europe) in small groups through the 1960s and 1970s. |
| Jacquet led the Illinois Jacquet Big Band from 1981 until his |
| death. Jacquet became the first jazz musician to be an |
| artist-in-residence at Harvard University in 1983. He played |
| "C-Jam Blues" with President Bill Clinton on the White House lawn |
| during Clinton's inaugural ball in 1993. |
| |
| His solos of the early and mid 1940s and his performances at the |
| Jazz at the Philharmonic concert series, greatly influenced rhythm |
| and blues and rock and roll saxophone style, but also continues to |
| be heard in jazz. His honking and screeching emphasized the lower |
| and higher registers of the tenor saxophone. Despite a superficial |
| rawness, the style is still heard in skilled jazz players like |
| Sonny Rollins, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Jimmy Forrest. |
| |
| He died of a heart attack at his home in New York City in 2004. |
