SINCE I FELL FOR |
My Global Jazz Network Page
 Tony Williams |
In 1971, after a year long sabatical in the UK without playing the trumpet, I joined the band at The Blackpool Tower playing for ballroom dancing with the Charlie Barlow Orchestra. (Just coming off of a year without playing, my chops began to resemble a Botox procedure gone wrong!) When finished with our sets there, I would run down to a club in Lytham St. Annes called the Lemon Tree where I was playing in a band with Tony. (Gary Dorsey, "Englebert Humperdink" would come in to catch some of our sets.) Tony also played bass with Jethro Tull, and Stealers Wheel. I was so impressed with Tony's singing that when I formed "Force Ten," I invited him to be the lead singer. As of recent years, Tony has been involved in the world wildlife conservation of elephants |
 Tony Christie |
What a great voice! great band! and great friend to all of his musicians. I began working with Tony in 1973, and continued working with him until I left the UK in 1982. He had several number one hits, both in the UK and the USA. "Show Me The Way To Amarillo" "Las Vegas" and the theme to the television show "The Protectors" were probably best remembered in the USA. After one of our performances in Dublin, Ireland, a fan came up to me and said, "Ah...that Tony Christie sure can make that voice talk!" I still have a couple of memorable tracks that I recorded with him "live" on Piccadilly Radio |
 Robin
Hill |
Robin
and I met in the early '70's in the UK. I had formed a
Jazz/Fusion band called "Force Ten" and
was looking for a
guitar player. Robin
brought far more to the table than his brilliance as a guitar
player...he also wrote most of the music for the band while I did most
of the horn arrangements. Subsequent to
our departure from the UK,
we have remained connected, and have even continued to
collaborate (trans-atlantic) on musical projects. Check-out Robin's
virtuoso performance on You
Tube. And Robin's wife, Anna keeps an amazing Blog of the blow by
blow accounts in the daily life of a totally dedicated and consumed
musician. |
 Dave Hassell |
I first met Dave
in 1973 when I began working with Tony Christie. We played in several
other bands including "Loose Change" and a few BBC & Granada
Television shows. Dave's contributions as a percussionist on "Force
Ten" gave the final product a noticeable boost. |
 Angela
DeNiro & Ron Aprea |
In 1981, I was privileged to be selected for a three month, "Good Will Tour" of South Africa and Zimbabwe with an American singer named Lovelace Watkins. It was a truely international effort as the lead horns were brought out from the UK, the rhythm section from Australia, and the rest filled in with South Africans. (Lovelace and I being the only Americans, although Goldie Hawn and Shelly Berman were following us at all of the same venues, and Cameron Mitchell "High Chaperral" hung-out with us.) Shortly after that, Irene and I returned to the USA, and I was offered a position as lead trumpet player with Skitch Henderson. Ron was playing lead alto and we became instant and life-long friends. Swingin' With Legends is a third album for Ron & Angela...who most certainly ranks with some of the greatest jazz singers of all time. Her "skatting" in unison with Ron is nothing short of amazing! I had fun playing lead trumpet on an exciting track that Ron wrote called "Colors Of Angela." where I "forgot" to let go of the last note! |
 Hilary Kole |
When just seventeen years old, Hilary recorded some of her original music in my studio. What a beautiful young woman with a fantastic voice, great keyboard chops, and brilliant, original compositions! So glad to see that she is receiving the accolades that she so richly deserves. There was never a doubt. Have a listen to: "Night & Day" from her soon to be released cd |
