Coleman Randolph Hawkins (November 21, 1904 â May 19, 1969), nicknamed âHawkâ and sometimes âBeanâ, was a jazz tenor saxophonist. One of the first prominent jazz musicians on his instrument, Joachim E. Berendt explained: âThere were some tenor players before him, but the instrument was not an acknowledged jazz hornâ. His biographer John Chilton described the prevalent styles of tenor saxophone solos before Hawkins as âmooingâ and ârubbery belches.â He cited as influences Happy Caldwell, Stump Evans, and Prince Robinson, he was the first to tailor his method of improvisation to the saxophone rather than imitate the techniques of the clarinet. His virtuosic, arpeggiated approach to improvisation, with his characteristic, emotional, loud, and vibrato-laden tonal style, was the main influence on a generation of tenor players that included Chu Berry, Charlie Barnet, Tex Beneke, Ben Webster, Vido Musso, Herschel Evans, Buddy Tate, and Don Byas, and through them the later tenor men, Arnett Cobb, Illinois Jacquet, Flip Phillips, Ike Quebec, Al Sears, Paul Gonsalves, and Lucky Thompson. While he became well-known for swing music during the big band era, he had a role in the development of bebop in the 1940s.
He attended high school in Chicago and Topeka at Topeka High School. He stated that he studied harmony and composition for two years at Washburn College while still attending high school. In his youth he played piano and cello, and started playing saxophone at the age of nine; by the age of fourteen, he was playing around eastern Kansas. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

LĂGENDES DU JAZZ
LUCKY THOMPSON, LE SAXOPHONISTE QUI NâAVAIT PAS VRAIMENT MĂRITĂ SON SURNOM
"Lucky had that same thing that Paul Gonsalves had, that melodic smoothness. He wasn't rough like Ben Webster, and he didn't play in the Lester Young style. He was a beautiful balladeer. But he played with all the modernists."
- Johnny Griffin
NĂ© le 16 juin 1924 Ă Columbia, en Caroline du Sud, Eli ââLuckyââ Thompson Ă©tait le fils dâun emballeur de viande. Thompson a dĂ©mĂ©nagĂ© Ă Detroit avec sa famille durant son enfance. ĂlevĂ© par son pĂšre aprĂšs la mort de sa mĂšre, Thompson devait son surnom de ââLuckyââ Ă un chandail quâil avait lâhabitude de porter sur lequel figurait cette inscription.
Thompson avait commencĂ© Ă sâintĂ©resser Ă la musique aprĂšs avoir entendu Coleman Hawkins Ă la radio.
Thompson Ă©tant issu dâun milieu pauvre, il sâĂ©tait entraĂźnĂ© Ă jouer du saxophone sur un manche Ă balai jusquâĂ ce quâil ait les moyens de sâacheter son propre instrument Ă lâĂąge de quinze ans. Comme son fils Daryl lâavait expliquĂ© plus tard:  "His father got fed up seeing this kid fingering this piece of wood and bought him a cheap, pawnshop kind of saxophone."
Parmi les principales influences de Thompson Ă lâĂ©poque, on retrouvait le saxophoniste tĂ©nor Don Byas.
Travailleur acharnĂ©, Thompson pratiquait huit heures par jour. Devenu suffisamment habile, il sâĂ©tait finalement joint au King's Aces Big Band, un groupe notamment composĂ© du vibraphoniste Milt Jackson qui Ă©tait devenu plus tard un de ses plus prĂ©cieux collaborateurs.
AprĂšs avoir obtenu son diplĂŽme du Cass High School en 1942, Thompson sâĂ©tait joint Ă Ted Buckner, lâancien saxophoniste alto de Jimmie Lunceford, au Club 666, dans le quartier noir de Detroit, et aux Bama State Collegians dâErskine Hawkins. LâannĂ©e suivante, il Ă©tait entrĂ© dans le big band de Lionel Hampton.
DĂBUTS DE CARRIĂRE
En aoĂ»t 1943, Thompson avait quittĂ© New York pour participer Ă une tournĂ©e de quatre mois avec Hampton. AprĂšs avoir passĂ© six mois avec Hampton, Thompson sâĂ©tait joint Ă lâĂ©phĂ©mĂšre big band de Billy Eckstine, ce qui lui avait permis de jouer aux cĂŽtĂ©s de Dizzy Gillespie et Charlie Parker. AprĂšs avoir travaillĂ© avec Don Redman, Lucky Millinder et Sid Catlett, Thompson avait connu une vĂ©ritable consĂ©cration lorsquâil Ă©tait entrĂ© dans lâorchestre de Count Basie en 1944 comme successeur de son idole Don Byas. MĂȘme sâil jouait aux cĂŽtĂ©s de gĂ©ants comme Lester Young dans le groupe de Basie, Thompson Ă©tait dĂ©terminĂ© Ă ne pas se laisser intimider. Comme lâĂ©crivait le saxophoniste et chercheur Loren Schoenberg:  "When it was Thompson's turn in that same chair, he went out of his way to assert his preference for a more macho approach."
AprĂšs quittĂ© lâorchestre de Basie et avoir jouĂ© dans des groupes de Rhythm & Blues, Thompson avait entrepris une une carriĂšre de musicien de bebop et de hard bop, collaborant notamment avec des musiciens Ă©tablis comme Kenny Clarke, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie et son compatriote de Detroit Milt Jackson. Comme lâĂ©crivait le critique Ben Ratliff, Thompson avait fait le lien entre lâĂ©poque swing et le style plus cĂ©rĂ©bral et complexe du bebop. Ratliff avait ajoutĂ©: ââHis sophisticated, harmonically abstract approach to the tenor saxophone built off that of Don Byas and Coleman Hawkins; he played with beboppers, but resisted Charlie Parker's pervasive influence."Â
DĂšs le dĂ©but de sa carriĂšre, Thompson avait dĂ©montrĂ© une approche trĂšs originale de lâimprovisation. Sa tonalitĂ©, qui rappelait Ă©normĂ©ment le style de Ben Webster, plus particuliĂšrement dans les passages plus âârugueuxââ et sensuels, avait aussi Ă©tĂ© trĂšs influencĂ©e par les premiers enregistrements de son maĂźtre Ă penser Don Byas.
Thompson a fait ses dĂ©buts sur disque en mars 1944 avec le trompettiste Oran ââHot Lipsââ Page.
AprĂšs avoir quittĂ© lâorchestre de Basie en octobre 1945, Thompson sâĂ©tait installĂ© Ă Los Angeles oĂč il avait enregistrĂ©, et probablement Ă©crit des arrangements, pour la maison de disques Exclusive, notamment pour lâancien chanteur de Duke Ellington, Herb Jeffries. Lorsque le sextet de Charlie Parker et Dizzy Gillespie avait fait un sĂ©jour Ă Los Angeles pour jouer au club de Billy Berg, Thompson avait Ă©tĂ© recrutĂ© par le trompettiste afin de servir de remplaçant Ă©ventuel Ă Parker dont les problĂšmes de dĂ©pendance Ă©taient devenus incontrĂŽlables. AprĂšs avoir entendu le groupe jouer pour la premiĂšre fois, Thompson avait dĂ©clarĂ©: "This is crazy music." Une semaine plus tard, Thompson avait fait sa premiĂšre apparition sur scĂšne avec le groupe. Ă Los Angeles, Thompson sâĂ©tait produit avec les plus importants musiciens bebop du moment, dont le contrebassiste Charles Mingus, le pianiste Michael ââDodoââ Marmarosa et le saxophoniste Boyd Raeburn. Thompson avait passĂ© deux ans Ă Los Angeles, oĂč il avait participĂ© Ă plus de cent sessions dâenregistrement avec des artistes aussi diversifiĂ©s que Dinah Washington et Boyd Raeburn. Devenu une grande vedette, Thompson avait Ă©galement Ă©tĂ© Ă©lu meilleur artiste de la relĂšve par le magazine Esquire en 1947.
De retour Ă New York, Thompson avait participĂ© Ă une des sessions les plus cĂ©lĂšbres de Parker et Gillespie pour les disques Dial, le 28 mars 1946. Ă la fin des annĂ©es 1940, Thompson avait aussi enregistrĂ© avec son Ă©pouse, la chanteuse Thelma Lowe (qui Ă©tait surnommĂ©e Thelma Love Ă lâĂ©poque). En 1947, Thompson avait Ă©galement fait une apparition dans le film "New Orleans" aux cĂŽtĂ©s de Billie Holiday et Louis Armstrong.
Thompson avait continuĂ© de dĂ©montrer ses habiletĂ©s dâaccompagnateur dans le cadre de plusieurs albums enregistrĂ©s au milieu des annĂ©es 1950, notamment sur le disque ââCuban Fire!ââ de Stan Kenton et dâautres albums enregistrĂ©s sous son propre nom. En 1954, Thompson a Ă©galement participĂ© Ă lâenregistrement de lâalbum ââWalkinâââ de Miles Davis . ConsidĂ©rĂ© comme un des albums marquants de Davis, le disque mettait Ă©galement en vedette le pianiste Horace Silver, le joueur de trombone J.J. Johnson et le batteur Kenny Clarke. Le solo de Thompson sur le standard "Blue 'n' Boogie" est dâailleurs considĂ©rĂ© comme un des faits saillants de lâalbum.
Thompson a également enregistré comme leader pour les disques Vogue (à Paris), ABC Paramount et Prestige, ainsi que comme accompagnateur pour les disques Savoy avec Milt Jackson.
Au dĂ©but des annĂ©es 1950, Thompson avait dirigĂ© lâorchestre-maison du club Savoy de New York. AprĂšs sâĂȘtre produit au Festival de jazz de Nice et avoir enregistrĂ© avec Thelonious Monk, Thompson sâĂ©tait joint Ă l'orchestre de Stan Kenton en 1956.
PlutĂŽt amer envers lâindustrie de la musique, Thompson avait Ă©ventuellement dĂ©crit les promoteurs, les producteurs, les Ă©diteurs de musique et les compagnies de disques comme des ââparasitesââ et des ââvautours.ââ Les opinions tranchĂ©es de Thompson sur les agissements des magnats de lâindustrie du disque lâavaientt Ă©ventuellement empĂȘchĂ© de devenir une grande vedette du jazz au mĂȘme titre que des saxophonistes comme Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster et Lester Young.
Malgré sa personnalité controversée, Thompson avait enregistré plusieurs albums comme leader, dont "Tricotism" en 1956 (avec son groupe Lucky Seven) et "Lucky Strikes" en 1964. Il avait aussi accompagné plusieurs sommités du jazz comme Dinah Washington (1945), Thelonious Monk (1952), Miles Davis (album "Walkin"', 1954), Oscar Pettiford et Stan Kenton (1956).
En 1958, Ă la suite dâun conflit avec le gĂ©rant de Louis Armstrong, Joe Glaser (apparemment au sujet de lâordre dans lequel les deux musiciens devaient descendre de lâavion), Thompson avait dĂ©cidĂ© de sâacheter une petite ferme dans le Michigan et de sây installer avec sa famille. Toujours gĂ©nĂ©reux envers ses collaborateurs, Thompson nâen avait jamais voulu personnellement Ă Armstrong, et lâavait toujours dĂ©signĂ© respectueusement sous le terme de ââM. Armstrong.ââ
AprĂšs avoir tentĂ© en vain de devenir Ă©diteur de musique, Thompson avait aussi fait de frĂ©quents aller-retour en France, oĂč il avait vĂ©cu et enregistrĂ© de 1957 Ă 1962, collaborant avec des artistes comme Martial Solal, Henri Renaud ou Guy Laffite. En 1962, il sâĂ©tait Ă©galement produit au cĂ©lĂšbre club de Ronnie Scott Ă Londres. Durant cette pĂ©riode, Thompson avait aussi commencĂ© Ă jouer du saxophone soprano, devenant ainsi un des premiers membres de sa gĂ©nĂ©ration Ă adopter cet instrument. MĂȘme si John Coltrane est souvent reconnu pour avoir sorti le saxophone soprano de lâombre au dĂ©but des annĂ©es 1960, Thompson et Steve Lacy avaient adoptĂ© cet instrument bien avant Coltrane. Thompson avait Ă©galement profitĂ© de son sĂ©jour en Europe pour perfectionner ses solos.
De retour Ă New York en 1962, Thompson avait signĂ© un contrat avec les disques Prestige avec qui il avait enregistrĂ© les albums ââHappy Days Are Here Againâ, âPlays Jerome Kern and No Moreâ et âLucky Strikesâ en 1964. AprĂšs avoir enregistrĂ© avec dâautres maisons de disques en 1965, Thompson avait participĂ© Ă lâenregistrement de lâalbum âLucky Meets Tommyâ avec le pianiste Tommy Flanagan.
AprĂšs avoir vĂ©cu Ă New York durant quelques annĂ©es, Thompson sâest Ă©tabli Ă Lausanne, en Suisse, oĂč il a rĂ©sidĂ© de 1968 Ă 1970 et oĂč il a enregistrĂ© plusieurs albums dont ââA Lucky Songbook in Europeââ (1969).
Thompson avait briĂšvement enseignĂ© au Dartmouth College et Ă lâUniversitïżœïżœ Yale en 1973-74, mais dĂ©couragĂ© par lâapproche de la musique prĂ©conisĂ©e dans les universitĂ©s, il avait finalement dĂ©cidĂ© dâabandonner dĂ©finitivement sa carriĂšre musicale. Thompson avait enregistrĂ© ses derniers albums pour la petite Ă©tiquette Groove Merchant sous le titre de âGoodbye Yesterdayâ (1972) et âI Offer Youâ (1973).
DERNIĂRES ANNĂES
Si on sait trĂšs peu de choses sur les activitĂ©s de Thompson Ă partir du milieu des annĂ©es 1970, on croit gĂ©nĂ©ralement quâil avait vĂ©cu briĂšvement sur lâĂźle Manitoulin, en Ontario, et dans diffĂ©rentes villes des Ătats-Unis comme Atlanta, Savannah, en Georgie, ou Denver, au Colorado. Thompson a passĂ© les derniĂšres annĂ©es de sa vie Ă Seattle, dans lâĂtat de Washington.
AprĂšs avoir occupĂ© divers petits emplois, Thompson serait devenu sans-abri au dĂ©but des annĂ©es 1990. Il vivait comme un ermite dans les bois, dans son automobile ou dans des abris fournis par certains de ses amis. Certaines rumeurs avaient mĂȘme laissĂ© entendre que Thompson sâĂ©tait construit une cabane de bois rond au Canada et quâil avait Ă©tĂ© rĂ©duit Ă se nourrir de racines pour survivre. Ă lâĂ©poque, Thompson Ă©tait si dĂ©muni financiĂšrement quâil aurait mĂȘme vendu son saxophone pour payer ses soins dentaires. Ă une occasion, il avait mĂȘme Ă©tĂ© sauvagement battu Ă Atlanta. Câest alors quâil avait Ă©tĂ© recueilli par des Ă©trangers qui avaient Ă©tĂ© informĂ©s de son triste sort. Mais il Ă©tait dĂ©jĂ trop tard. Souffrant de dĂ©mence et de paranoĂŻa, Thompson avait fait plusieurs sĂ©jours dans les hĂŽpitaux Ă partir de 1994.
Atteint de la maladie dâAlzheimer, Lucky Thompson est dĂ©cĂ©dĂ© Ă Seattle le 30 juillet 2005. Il Ă©tait ĂągĂ© de 81 ans. Thompson laissait dans le deuil son fils Daryl, sa fille Jade Thompson-Fredericks ainsi que deux petits-enfants. Depuis une dizaine dâannĂ©es, Thompson vivait au Washington Center for Comprehensive Rehabilitation de Seattle. Câest lĂ quâil sâĂ©tait Ă©teint en 2005.
Thompson avait Ă©pousĂ© la chanteuse Thelma Lowe. Le couple avait eu un fils, le futur guitariste Daryl Thompson. Ce dernier avait jouĂ© avec les artistes reggae Peter Tosh et Black Uhuru avant de se lancer dans une carriĂšre de musicien de jazz Ă la fin des annĂ©es 1980. Lorsque Thelma Ă©tait morte dâun anĂ©vrisme en 1963, sa belle-famille ne lâavait jamais pardonnĂ© Ă Thompson et lui avait presque fait perdre la garde de ses enfants aprĂšs lâavoir poursuivi en justice. ĂbranlĂ© par la mort successive Ă la fin des annĂ©es 1960 du guitariste Wes Montgomery, du compositeur Billy Strayhorn et de Martin Luther King Jr., Thompson avait finalement dĂ©cidĂ© dâenvoyer ses enfants en Suisse oĂč il avait dĂ©cidĂ© de relancer sa carriĂšre.
ConsidĂ©rĂ© comme lâun des meilleurs saxophonistes tĂ©nor de l'histoire du jazz aux cĂŽtĂ©s de Coleman Hawkins et Lester Young, Thompson Ă©tait caractĂ©risĂ© par un phrasĂ© trĂšs doux et trĂšs prĂ©cis. Excellent improvisateur, Thompson Ă©tait particuliĂšrement reconnu pour son jeu sophistiquĂ© et pour son talent pour les balades. DotĂ© dâun style trĂšs personnel, Thompson avait influencĂ© plusieurs musiciens de jazz, dont le saxophoniste Johnny Griffin, qui avait dĂ©clarĂ© Ă son sujet: "Lucky had that same thing that Paul Gonsalves had, that melodic smoothness. He wasn't rough like Ben Webster, and he didn't play in the Lester Young style. He was a beautiful balladeer. But he played with all the modernists." MĂȘme si Thompson nâĂ©tait pas vraiment considĂ©rĂ© comme un innovateur, il avait toujours su dĂ©montrer une grande dextĂ©ritĂ© et une Ă©norme capacitĂ© dâadaptation au cours de sa carriĂšre. Son jeu voluptueux et sensuel Ă©tait particuliĂšrement mis en Ă©vidence sur la piĂšce "Just One More Chance" enregistrĂ©e en 1947.
La vie de Lucky Thompson Ă©tait dâautant plus mystĂ©rieuse quâon lâavait vu rarement en public Ă la fin de sa vie. MĂȘme ses plus proches amis avaient parfois de la difficultĂ© Ă le trouver. Le batteur Kenny Washington se rappelait avoir vu Thompson assister Ă un de ses concerts avec le groupe de Johnny Griffin au club Jazz Alley de Seattle en 1993. AprĂšs avoir assistĂ© au spectacle, Thompson avait briĂšvement discutĂ© avec les musiciens avant de repartir Ă pied vers son lieu de rĂ©sidence de lâĂ©poque dans le quartier de Beacon Hill, Ă un peu plus de trois miles de distance.

Duke Ellington - Ellington at Newport (1956)
Recorded sixty-eight years ago, on July 7-8, 1956, was one of the legendary performances in music history, Ellington at Newport. In 1956, big band jazz and Duke Ellingtonâs career were flagging, and the orchestra was playing in places like ice skating rinks just to stay busy, but this performance and the subsequent album changed all that. Following the performance, Dukeâwho was not under contract at the time of the concertâwas signed to Columbia Records, he was featured on the cover of Time magazine, and the resurgence lasted for the rest of his career.
The centerpiece of the concert is an astonishing 27-chorus solo by tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves in âDiminuendo and Crescendo in Blue,â that brought the crowd to its feet and provoked dancing in aisles among the normally staid Newport crowd.
However, in an interesting twist, in 1996, newly discovered Library of Congress tapes revealed that the original album was only about forty percent actual live recordingsâthe rest was recorded in the studio after the fact and mixed with crowd noise and canned applause. Always the perfectionist, Ellington felt the band was under-rehearsed in parts, and the famed Gonsalves solo had been played into the wrong microphone and was almost completely inaudible at times. So, the band recreated large portions of the concert in the studio. While the original performance was painstakingly pieced back together in 1999, rather than diminishing the original record, it only added to the mystique and mythology of the legend.
