| A white 47 year-old fan of swing music may not have been the most |
| likely proprietor and driving force behind a radical independent jazz |
| label, but that is a fair description of Bob Thiele. As a teenager he |
| hung out at all the latest jazz joints in New York City, letting his |
| studies flounder as he indulged his love of music. He started his own |
| record label and magazine before going on to be a successful A&R man |
| for Coral and Brunswick in the 1950s, working on many pop hits before |
| signing Buddy Holly and Jackie Wilson. It was in the 60s that his |
| reputation became fixed when ABC Records asked him to head up their |
| Impulse jazz label and become the producer of John Coltrane. Out of |
| touch with the latest developments in jazz, working with Coltrane was |
| initially a shock, but the pair developed a friendship and |
| understanding that allowed Coltrane to realise his greatest artistic |
| statements on record. |
| |
| Coltrane introduced Thiele to many of the rising stars of jazz's so |
| called new thing or avant-garde. In doing so, the producer was |
| exposed to fresh and exciting players and the politically charged |
| world they inhabited. He signed several of the players, making stars |
| out of Archie Shepp and Pharoah Sanders. As a consequence, by the |
| time he was ready to launch his Flying Dutchman label an important |
| component would be the radical sounds and voices of black America. |
| Although the early release schedule included straight-ahead and pop |
| jazz, it was the mix of spoken word, black politics and progressive |
| spiritual jazz in its catalogue distinguished Flying Dutchman from |
| other labels, and it's that aspect on which "Liberation Music" |
| focuses. |
| |
| We have extracted some words by Angela Davis and H Rap Brown from |
| their Flying Dutchman albums. They were important proponents of black |
| radicalism and are contrasted against the more conciliatory voice of |
| Carl B Stokes, the first black Mayor of a major US city. A further |
| contrast exists with Thiele's most important discovery, Gil |
| Scott-Heron, whose words are on an entirely different level. Gil is |
| present as lyricist on Stokes' 'Paint It Black', his own 'The |
| Revolution Will Not Be Televised' and as a backing vocalist on 'Toast |
| To The People' by Black and Blues, the group he had formed in |
| college. It was thought the group had not been recorded, but a tape |
| has turned up giving us a unique glimpse of them for the first time. |
| |
| Much of the music is not directly political, but is so outside of the |
| mainstream that it became so. Horace Tapscott, the LA-based pianist, |
| is only now being recognised as the important figure he was, while |
| fellow West Coast-based jazzer Chico Hamilton offers up a coruscating |
| outing. Ornette Coleman is represented by a track from his rare |
| outing recorded at his fabled live performance space in a loft in New |
| York's Prince Street. Oliver Nelson and Thiele himself offer up |
| tributes to key black figures of the 1960s. Nelson's salute to Martin |
| Luther King is lushly orchestrated, while Thiele's ode to John |
| Coltrane is clearly heartfelt, with the presence of Trane's drummer |
| Elvin Jones providing added poignancy. |
| |
| "Liberation Music" isn't an easy listen but it has a depth of purpose |
| and feeling that makes it worthwhile. |
