  • Upcoming Artist of the Week - Harold Mabern [Wikipedia]

    • Born: March 20, 1936 (age 80) Memphis, Tennessee, U.S.

    • pianist and composer, principally in the hard bop, post-bop, and soul jazz fields.[1] He is described in The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings as "one of the great post-bop pianists"

    • Mabern learned by watching and emulating pianists Charles Thomas and Phineas Newborn, Jr.[3]:34 Mabern attended Douglass High School,[4] before transferring to Manassas High School;[5] he played with Frank Strozier, George Coleman and Booker Little at this time, but was most influenced by pianist Newborn, Jr.[6]

    • He also developed by listening to Ahmad Jamal and others in clubs,[7] and "playing and practicing 12 hours a day" for the next five years,[3]:34 but he remained self-taught as a pianist.[4] Mabern went on to play with Walter Perkins' MJT + 3 and others in Chicago.

    • Mabern moved to New York City in 1959. According to his own account, he moved there with saxophonist Frank Strozier on November 21, 1959, checked in at a hotel and then went to Birdland, where he met Cannonball Adderley, who asked him if he wanted a gig. Mabern accepted, and was shown inside, where trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, who was looking for a pianist to replace the soon-to-depart Tommy Flanagan, auditioned him and offered him the place.[6] A few weeks later, most of the members of this band then joined Jimmy Forrest for a recording in Chicago that resulted in the albums All the Gin Is Gone and Black Forrest, which were also the debut recordings for guitarist Grant Green.[9][10]
