Hi this is a good post! Thank you.
Tell us of some of the difficulties Oscar Pettiford
faced during his musical career? What did he face when he toured with his
many bands? What can others take from these stories?
- What are your own personal memories/anecdotes of Oscar Pettiford What
did you learn from him? What can others learn from him?
- In your opinion, what were the highlights of Oscar’s career personally?
Musically (concerts, songs etc.)?
- From Nov. 1943 till April 1944 Pettiford lead the first bebop quintet
(with Dizzy Gillespie, still at the Onyx Club). “Playing unison lines in
this band was my idea,” Oscar said “you know, the trumpet and tenor playing
lines together. The system of one guy playing the line and the
other playing
whole notes behind him seemed corny to me.” Why was that such a significant
change for music? How has it affected music today?
- What is the significance of Pettiford’s induction into the Hall of Fame
for music? What lead to the recognition?
- Pettiford credited 4/4, the basic time of jazz, to the American Indian
culture and although 4/4 existed in European music, it was not used in the
same way, and African rhythms, supposedly the important ingredient in jazz,
were of a different nature. Can you explain that concept a bit for us?
Explain the importance of that in jazz.
- Pettiford was a dual musician playing both double bass and cello (after
injuring his arm). Why was this significant?
- How did Pettiford’s cultural background (mother Choctaw, father
Cherokee and African-American) influence him personally? Musically?
Is there any truth that Quincy Jones produced an album with Oscar Pettiford?
Is Oscar Pettiford responsible for helping Quincy Jones stay in New york to help him persue his music career?
