I was amazed at the regard that Buddy had for Cecil Taylor. What a great, insightful, open-minded musician and person he was!
I think his openness as far as music showed in his playing... I just recently really started to seriously listen to his stuff and it's really incredible..
Great interview. .& Buddy DeFranco was not only a phenomenal virtuoso and one of the greatest players in jazz history but seems like a really down to earth and cool dude..
agreed !😄!
I had the great good fortune to have a much older brother who introduced me to Buddy DeFranco and Nelson Riddle's "Cross Country Suite" when I was a kid. I was hooked. Many years later before CDs I found that record in a New York City record store and gave it to my brother as a surprise gift. He had long since lost his original copy so he was so happy!
Amazing man ! His appreciation of Cecil Taylor shows him to be open minded and humble.
Wow, what revelations! Awesome interview!! He's great.
Wonderful. Thanks so much.
Great!
Buddy was the Charlie Parker of the clarinet, period to me
In what way was he „the Charlie Parker‘ ?
@@NadavHbr Regarding your question about how Buddy DeFranco was like Charlie Parker, in this video DeFranko himself talks a bit about it from 13:33 - 14:49. He starts out by saying that a trumpeter Charlie Shavers was talking about a "guy up in Harlem" (which was Charlie Parker).
lovely man
Thank you this one! I just met him a few months after this interview. Great memories from my number one idol!
Thanks great info STERLING
The one clarinetist I have been impressed with in the jazz world alone with Woody Herman from Milwaukee
I saw Buddy at the Jazz Showcase in 2006, a decade after this interview. One of the Chicago papers wrote in its review that Buddy was "80 going on 50". It was so true. Compare any of his later recordings with those same (barn burner) tunes recorded earlier in his career, and you would be hard-pressed to know which was which.
The Charlie Parker of the clarinet
What a great interview! Would love to share a Modelo with Buddy and talk arranging. It is so strange to me that Buddy decided to dedicate 8 years to the name of Glenn Miller. Maybe it was just a good and regular pay check? I would love to have that conversation . . .
I would not be surprised if the regular pay check was the first reason Buddy took that gig. Sometimes we assume that established or even famous jazz players must be OK financially. I have found that this assumption is unrealistic. Monk
@@filliusjazzarchive Look at all the great composers and arrangers who took teaching jobs in education for the same reason: Eddie Sauter, Aaron Copland, Arnold Schoenberg, and Sammy Nestico. Yep, I am pretty sure you are right. But I would still love to have the conversation! Thanks.
Buddy & Roland Kirk were true jazz players
Heard he was also a huge fan of aElvis
I get shout-out at 9:24!
funny
