Biography

What does it mean to be a great trumpet player? What does it take to be

considered one of the greatest to ever live? When asked these questions my response

is simple- versatility. In my opinion, to be considered one of the greatest trumpet players

of all time one must have the versatility to play the three key styles of music- classical,

jazz, and lead. Not only must one play all three, but also execute at the highest of

levels. When going down the list of trumpet players to be deemed as one of the

greatest, one in particular is commonly overlooked, and his name is Lewis Michael

Soloff.

Lewis, most commonly know as Lew, was born February 20th 1944 in a

Manhattan hospital and raised in Brooklyn, New York until the age of 5 and a half,

where he then moved to Lakewood, New Jersey. From the very beginning Lew was

exposed to the arts, as his father was a soft shoe tap dancer/hotel bar manager, and his

mother was a violinist who played behind vaudeville acts. His uncle Jessie was also a

piano player and a huge influence on him, as he would play him jazz records at a young

age. Lew credits his uncle for turning him onto Louis Armstrong, Roy Eldridge, Miles

Davis and Ornate Coleman. One that Lew specifically recalled in his interview with Mike

Davis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4e0i0vxMIE&t=6228s) was Louis Armstrongs

album I Hope Gabriel Likes My Music where he recalls the tone of the upper register

of Armstrong, where it was simply beautiful and not over powering. He also recalled two

other records that had a huge impact on him, one being Gene Krupas Band After

Youve Gone featuring Roy Eldridge and the other Shoeshine Boy, which is the

reverse side of I Hope Gabriel Likes My Music. Along with these musical influences
 3

Lew started playing ukulele and piano at the age of five. He would play piano up until

about ten years old where he would then fall in love with the trumpet, because it was

shiny as he states in Mike Daviss interview. Among many of his influences was a

twenty-one year old trumpet player named Eddie Medina. One summer when Lew was

around seven years old he was with his father at The Pine Point Resort in Elkhart Lake,

Wisconsin (the hotel where his father worked), where he heard Medina playing a

rendition of Magic Is The Moonlight. He recalls this specific moment because the tone

of Medina was so beautiful that it was unforgettable. Lew always used to stress to me

the importance of tone and how it was the most important element to playing the

trumpet, and he himself had his own clear distinct sound.

Growing up Lews first band director was Frank Ungar and soon after he began

studying with trumpeter Willie Epstein, who was apart of the orchestras within the hotel

Lews dad worked at. One of Willies rules for teaching Lew was that he had to take two

lessons a week and practice an hour and a half a day, and at ten years old Lew did just

that. He then went to a camp called Music Land at Ananndale on the Hudson, (Bard

College) where he met many friends who also attended Julliard Prep. This inspired Lew

to attend there, where he then met one of his most influential teachers in his life, Ed

Troydell. It was Ed who helped Lew focus on his embouchure, which allowed him to use

proper form to produce notes, making it less likely to get injured from over/improper use.

Ed also guided Lew in choosing colleges to attend. Ed suggested Lew only audition at

schools he (Ed) liked the trumpet teacher, them being Oberlin, Julliard and Eastman

School of Music. Lew only wound up auditioning at Eastman and was accepted on a full

tuition scholarship where he would then study with Ed Meere. While at school Lew
 4

continued to work in hotel orchestras in the Catskill Mountains during his summers off.

He started performing there when he was fifteen with Max Schilling, and then the

following two summers with Phil Schilling. During the summers off from Eastman Lew

was playing at the Laurels Hotel where he got to back up the great Tony Bennett and

many others. It was in this concert where he recalls playing his first high f, with the

help of another teacher Carmine Caruso. While at school Lew also met Chuck

Mangione (a fellow classmate) and was inspired to be a good improviser like him. Lew

claims he was technically better than Chuck at the horn, however Chuck was a better

improviser at the time, which pushed Lew to be better. Also, fellow classmate and

drummer Vinny Ruggiero suggested Lew listen to Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and

Kenny Dorham to learn the bebop language. After graduating Eastman Lew moved to

New York City where he would begin his 50 year career as one of the most in demand

trumpet players in town.

Upon his arrival Ed Troydell introduced Lew to Bob Swann who was the

contractor at Radio City Music. He then auditioned and was offered the position

however he declined because he accepted the job at the Taft Hotel playing with Vincent

Lopez, recommended by his Uncle Jessie. Lew did nine weeks there and played a final

summer in the Catskill Mountains at The Kutchers Hotel. It was there where he met

Frank Davilla who was playing in an orchestra opposite of him. Frank was the lead

trumpet player for the great Machito Orchestra. He liked the way Lew played and got

him into Machitos band at 21 years old upon Lews return to NYC from the Catskill

mountains. At that time Lew also played in the rehearsal bands of Howard Mcghee,

Chris Swanson, and Joe Henderson/Kenny Dorham big band. Although Lew was a
 5

good soloist he wasnt into into the small group scene, most of his playing was with

large ensembles. He also remarked in a Michael Bourne interview that I was too shy

too play among the downtown guys, to improvise among the jazz names. So when i

play downtown in a big band Id just play lead..but uptown they thought of me as the

jazz player! They didnt know i could play lead(Downbeat September 1987). Lew was

already doing both at a young age alongside being offered a position at Radio City

Music, which is a position held by proficient classical musicians. Shortly after Lew

began his twenty-two year stint with Gil Evans in 1966 which was interrupted by his five

year stint with Blood Sweat and Tears starting in 1968 and ending in 1973. It was in this

group where his iconic solo on Spinning Wheel put him on the map, as he would say.

After five years Lew left the group stating that he .had to leave the band if I wanted to

nurture my creativity. I needed more space to develop (Down Beat September 1987).

He felt the band was holding him back from being creative, so he returned to NYC and

joined back up with Gil Evans who needed someone who could play lead and

improvise. At that point people who could do that were few and far between (Down

Beat September 1987). In 1973, Lew also began his musical career working in the

studios with thanks to his lifelong and best friend Alan Rubin who helped him get into

that specific scene. Lew stated how he was always thankful for the studio scene, as it

financially supported him to continue his creative process as he got older. In 1983, Lew

also began a twenty seven year stint with the Dave Matthews Quintet, who were

extremely popular in Japan. This also led to Lew beginning his solo career in 1986 with

his first release of Hanalei Bay for Electric Bird/King Records of Japan. This then led to

two more quick releases, Yesterdays and But Beautiful. He created 13 solo albums
 6

and appeared on almost 500 other albums over his career. Lew is considered to be one

of the most recorded trumpet players of all time. According to a bio on Lews website he

has worked with fellow musicians such as Roy Ayers, Bob Belden, George Benson,

Benny Carter, Stanley Clarke, Paquito DRivera, Miles Davis/Quincy Jones, Mercer

Ellington, Grant Green, Lionel Hampton, Bob James, Herbie Mann, Tania Maria,

Carmen McRae, Laura Nyro, Jaco Pastorius, Mongo Santamaria, Little Jimmy Scott,

Wayne Shorter and Stanley Turrentine. Through my studies I have also found that he

has recorded with Maynard Ferguson, Hector Lavoe, Hilton Ruiz, Bob Mintzer, and

Lionel Hampton, just to name a few. His website also mentions that he has

accompanied many well-known vocalists, including Tony Bennett, Elvis Costello,

Marianne Faithfull, Aretha Franklin, Lou Reed, Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon and Barbra

Streisand. Alongside all of these great artists Lew has also contributed music to

hundreds of commercial/studio dates, consisting of jingles, commercials and numerous

film soundtracks.

While creating a career playing with the whos who of the jazz community and the

commercial/studio scene, as well as lead trumpet with Thad/Mel, Mingus, Dave

Matthews, Carla Bley, Carnegie Hall and Jazz at Lincoln Center Big Bands, Lew also

made a name for himself in the classical community. He was a student of both Adolph

Bud Herseth and Arnold Jacobs, and credits both of them for being two of his greatest

teachers (Ed Troydell being the third). As stated previously, Ed emphasized

embouchure development and proper use of the muscles to prevent damage from

constant high demand trumpet playing. Lew stated in his interview with Michael Grose

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5P2DT1sewM&t=204s) that Ed once said to him Im

 7

not only concerned with what you sound like, im concerned with how you produce the

sound. Arnold Jacobs emphasized the importance of breathing and using the air flow in

a proper manor as well horn in your hand vs. horn in your head. Lew does a wonderful

demonstration of this in the interview he did with Michael Grose shortly before he

passed (45 minute marker). In this interview Lew also explains the teachings of Herseth

and how he stressed musicality over everything else. It was with these 3 great mentors

as well as his early childhood influences that sparked Lews incredible versatility. Along

with great teachers he was also friends with trumpet legends Vincent Panzerella,

Maurice Andre, Sergei Nakariakov, and many more. Vince (who was a member of the

New York Philharmonic) was the one who suggested Lew study with Jacobs. He even

suggested that Lew audition for the NY Philharmonic, however Lew turned it down

because it would have caused him to give up improvisation, and he loved it too much to

let it go. In 2004, Lew became a member of the Manhattan Brass Quintet, now called

Manhattan Brass, where he has recorded four albums with them, furthermore displaying

his masterful classical playing

Its with Lews tone and versatility that made him stand out amongst the rest.

Lews tone, versatility, and musical concepts are on the highest of levels. To me, he is

playing is unmistakably recognizable, with overflowing original ideas and concepts.

When i listen to Lew i hear nothing but pure emotion and energy. Like Miles, Lew could

take his time, and like Dizzy, Lew could play stratospheric bebop lines with precision.

Like Armstrong and Eldridge Lew could blow the house down with his sound, and like

Maurice Andre Lew could play with the sweetest of tones. Lew Soloff is simply one of

the greatest trumpet players to ever live.

 8

Analysis
Throughout Lews long career he has recorded on roughly 500 albums (That Tom

Lord has catalogued), and within those recordings has taken many impressive solos.

These solos help demonstrate his technical versatility, harmonic knowledge and overall

high level of musicianship. The solos i have chosen also span over his 50 year career

and demonstrate his ability to play in different genres such as jazz, salsa, rock, and

classical music.

Blood Sweat And Tears

Spinning Wheel

The first solo I will analyze is Lews iconic Spinning Wheel. This solo is know

world wide, and Lew considers this solo the one that put me on the map. (Michael

Davis Interview). What makes this solo so special is that Lew infuses jazz idioms and

bebop lines into the rock genre. As seen below, Lew starts his solo with a statement
 9

(measure 1-3), using his tone, range and articulation to draw you into to what hes about

play. In measures four through seven he cleverly weaves through the dominant chords

around the cycle with the use of syncopation, followed by a standard bebop lick in

measure eight. He also responds to that first statement with another standard bebop lick

in measure eleven. Shortly there after in bar thirteen to sixteen he displays yet again

more knowledge of the bebop language, which is a language most listeners of the rock

genre are unfamiliar with. He basically shoved it down there throats, and they had no

other choice but to love it. His tone, articulation and attitude help carry these lines and

make them lovable to all ears. Lew quickly shifts his ideas on the altered chords with

outlining the basic F# dominant chord in bar seventeen through twenty, followed by the

same motif in bar twenty one through twenty four, however he cleverly descends

chromatically, further pulling the listener in for the big finish in bar twenty six. In the final
 10

bar Lew displays his classical training by outlining the E7 chord with short reveille like

articulations, ending on a high G. Attached below is the solo from start to finish, further

outlining how Lew builds all the way to the end, making this one of the first and most

iconic jazz rock trumpet solos of all time.

 11

Hector Lavoe

El Cantante

A large part of Lews early influences came from latin big bands he heard in the

hotel bars his father used to manage. Later on his career he started playing/recording

with Hector Lavoe and his solo on El Cantante displays his ability to weave through

the chord changes in an authentic fashion. He simply uses the A harmonic minor scale

to base all of his ideas off of within his first solo of the tune. He also implies standard

bebop licks in bar ten down to twelve, covering a full two and a half octaves on the horn.

In his second solo of the tune, the feel is totally different, as the major chords give of a

much lighter feel. Lew, being as adaptable as he is floats over the top playing beautiful,
 12

straight, even lines at the top of the trumpets register. He allows his tone and perfect

time to take control of these simple lines which bring it to life. Attached below is the full

solo, showing once again how he shifts his ideas and choice of register to bring intensity

to his solos. Lew Also finishes his solo off with more ideas based off of A melodic minor

scale.

Rompae Paraguay

I chose this as an example because it demonstrates Lews ability to be loose with

the time and weave in and out of quarter note triplets, eight note triplets and sixteenth

notes. He also displays a Dizzy Gillespie like lick in bar six through seven with precision

and intensity, making every note sound even with a full tone.
 14

Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra

Take The A Train

What makes this solo special is that this was a feature song for Lew, however he

was also the lead trumpet player for this band. To play lead and get a feature song in an

ensemble of this statue is pretty remarkable, seeing as how this orchestra consists of

many incredible world class soloists. In this specific solo Lew demonstrates his mastery

of the plunger mute as well as the growl technique. This is occurs in multiple different

sections within his solo. (marked with the dashes and + 0 ), Lew also had a way of

combining both the plunger mute and the growl like no other.

In the example below Lew alters his speed of the plunger mute, sometimes

opening it fast over a dotted quarter note, and other times opening and closing it after

each note.
 15

In the example below (bar 70-72) Lew also combines the plunger mute with his triple

tonguing technique, slow opening the mute over the phrase.

 16

In this solo Lew also fearlessly plays a high f# with the most gorgeous sound i have

ever heard, ending on a double a, in the middle of his solo none the less.

He then demonstrates his amazing range by effortlessly picking off a double a, then

working his way down the horn as seen below. One must understand that in order to

attempt this one must be in total control to feel confident enough to execute these ideas

in that register. Not only does Lew master it, but his sound is while doing so is gorgeous

and his time is perfect.

In this final example below, Lew demonstrates two of his major influences, Dizzy

Gillespie and Louis Armstrong. Bar 74- 76 is as Dizzy as it gets, and from bar 86-97 he
 17

pays homage to Armstrong. Overall this solo is masterful, and contains all elements of

Lews playing.
 18

Manhattan Brass

West Side Story- Act 1: Prologue

For this example, there isnt much to say. There arent many classical trumpet

players that would even attempt this. Most classical trumpet players also use C, D or

even piccolo trumpets on a phrase like this, as it is extremely difficult due to being in the

extreme upper register. Not only did Lew accurately play these notes, but he played

them on a Bb horn, which is unheard of in the classical world. To play that double A on a

Bb horn one must have incredible chops. This also opened up the live recording,

making it even more incredible. He was absolutely fearless!

 19

Acrostic Variations 1: II. Light

This particular example demonstrates Lews ability to play light and

crisp. There was nothing really challenging in this excerpt, however each

note was articulated with precision and a light tongue. This is a quality often

not found in jazz trumpet players, as it is the total opposite of how one

would play or practice.

 20

Joy To The World

One of the most beautiful things i have ever listened too. Lews tone is pure

velvet and his ability to play this song in three breathes is what i believe truly captivates

the listener, even if they dont know it. As i listened over and over i couldnt figure out

why i was so drawn to it, other than his amazing tone and ability to control his dynamic

throughout the whole piece. Then it hit mehis phrasing. Marvelous ability to play such

long phrases without breaking his quality of tone.

 21

Siciliana

This example features Lew playing piccolo trumpet, which he was famous for, both in

the classical world as well as jazz. His playing on this song is extremely lush, even

during his cadenza at the end, where he maintains his ability to play at double piano

within the extra upper register of the horn. It is truly remarkable, and also again

demonstrates

his fearless

quality of

trumpet

playing as he

chips the two

high notes in

bar 44. Lew

always went

for it and

didnt care,

he never

played it safe,

which is why i

think i was

drawn to his

playing over

most others.
 22

To me these solos are just snippets of a life long fabulous career filled with

thousands of wonderful recordings. Lews playing was versatile, fearless, and

considered by many to be true improvisation. His wide range of musical influences,

friends/colleagues, and musical ability puts him in a category all of his one. Lew Soloff

is one of the greatest trumpet players to ever live, and i was honored to call him my

friend.

Chris Rogers Interview

So what was you relation to Lew?

Lew is partly responsible for introducing my parents to each other. So my relationship is

that I exist because of Lew. And so therefore, he was close friends with both of my

parents, so he knew me for all of my nine years of life before i ever decided to play

trumpet. And then when it became apparent that i wanted to learn the trumpet when i

was nine and a half Lew was the one who gave me my first trumpet.

So he was a really good family friend before you even picked up the horn?

Yeah. He used to work in bands and recording studios with my father Barry Rogers the

trombonist. And he was also close friends with my mom, so even after my parents

eventually separated I sometimes used to hang out with my mom and Lew, we would go

out to dinner and stuff. So then when i eventually became professional our relationship

gradually morphed from child friend, you know friend of parents, to trumpets, to

idolizing, to peer and then eventually we got to work together a lot. I should also say,

one of the first trumpet solos that I ever thought about transcribing was Lew Soloffs

Spinning Wheel solo, and when i heard it, even though i knew him there was

something about the sound. Not only that i had to know what the notes were, im talking

about when im like twelve years old. Not only did i have to know what the notes were,

but it was something in his sound that really got me, and i didn't know what it was. I

never heard a trumpet sound like that.

 27

Do you know who Lews inspirations/teachers were or even some of his favorite

trumpet players he listened too?

Well, oddly enough the year after he passed I played some jazz gig at a church in South

Jersey and it turns out Lew had grown up there and i was introduced to like his sixth

grade band teacher who was still alive, hes passed since then, but he was still alive,

this was just like two years ago. And he told me that Lew was the best trumpeter in his

school you know even as a kid. As far as influences ive heard him talk about Louis

Armstrong and i think I heard him say he picked the trumpet because it was shiny,

which is funny because i also liked the trumpet because its shiny. I should also tell you

that as far as my relationship to Lew, when i was a sophomore in high school, i was

mugged and Lews trumpet that he gave me was stolen. It was a Benge and i had it in a

camouflage bag too so when i got mugged, im talking like 1977, you know the times

were different then, people got mugged on the street, and i had Lews trumpet in this

camouflage bagged obviously Lew must of had like twenty trumpets at his house or

something, but i remember so distinctly that the horn was stolen ad it was really hard

because it was Lews and i had to call him and tell him you know.

What was his reaction?

He was cool, it wasnt as bad as i thought but for me i was just like horrified. And ill tell

you a couple of other things. I used to go to Lews house sometimes on 54th Street and

Lexington Avenue and he had a duplex apartment, and he had this parrot and i
 28

remember visiting him and the parrot went on my shoulder and bit the shirt button off

and the other thing is he was like the first guy that had video cassette recorders, so we

would go to his house and he had his movie collection, so he'd be hanging out with my

mom, i mean they were just friends, they werent dating but he would hang out with my

mom and hed be like you know Chris pick a movie so on the window sill he had like a

hundred mouthpieces and right next to that he had fifty video tapes. So hed pick like a

Sophia Loren, Gregory Peck movie for me, which was great i was only like thirteen, i

was like ok ill check it out Sophia Loren. Anyone you talk to about Lew, he was like that

and the other question just to complete, you asked me about my relationship with Lew.

The last time i saw Lew was when i turned fifty, im now fifty four, and i had a gig on my

birthday at the 55 Bar, and the only person i felt like i needed to invite you know that

would be really meaningful was Lew, and he did come for the second set. He sat in with

me and of course he did the usual routine which was you know, tell me that he didn't

warm up and not to judge him on how he sounded. We were playing a Woody Shaw

tune and he started blowing a solo and he started playing these really elongated whole

notes in the upper register so that you couldn't tell what he was playing until after many

of the whole notes i realized he was playing Happy Birthday over these really intense

Woody Shaw chords, so it took him like two whole choruses to play one melody of

Happy Birthday. I thought it was cool because it wasn't one of Lews best nights, he was

cracking a lot of notes, but he didn't care, he just played and this is one of the things i

always loved, i dont know I'm sure it will come up in another question perhaps, but one

of the things i admired about Lew Soloff is he had a fearless quality as an improvise. He

wasnt concerned with being like cutting edge harmonically or being the newest stuff, or
 29

playing perfect. He was never worried about cracking notes, he just played and so

theres a lot of guys you can say were more well know as improvisers on the trumpet,

but they sometimes had played it safe. Lew would never play it safe, and i feel like he

was sort of underrated sometimes, other than trumpet people, but just by other

musicians. His soloing was just fearless and it was always true improvisation. You can

find any solo of his whether you like it or whether you didn't like it and you could say

Wow thats a really great improvised solo from beginning to end, and another thing

about Lew. Lew was a trumpet players trumpet player. He was the ultimate professional

because he was great at everything he did. He would play any job, he used to tell me

Chris you know ill come and play, you know anyone that needs a lead trumpet player

for anything, it doesn't matter and i would tell people call Lew Soloff to play in your

band and like Oh hes not going to come, just like a schmuck band and im like no you

dont understand, he will come he just wants to play. And he's about you know just the

music is always first. Theres nothing about ego, or i cant do that gig, you know. He

was a pretty amazing guy.

Do you know if he practiced anything specific to meet the demands of playing

lead trumpet, versus soloing, versus classical music and how did he maintain his

abilities to do all three on the drop of a hat?

Sure, I dont really know what his actual practice routine was. I know that he always as

far as his jazz playing, i know he always talked about practicing with records, real

records as opposed to practicing with Jamie Aebersolds. Maybe he did that too but he
 30

was always about practicing with records. I know that he was obviously had an amazing

classical foundation when he first came up and was doing a lot of subbing at Radio City.

I know he was friends with Vince Penzarella and i know he was friends with Ronald

Ramm, and i know that Vince was trying to get him to audition for the New York

Philharmonic even, but Lew didn't want to do that. You know obviously he had his

system, he had horns and mouthpieces. He had his small bore NY Bach Stradivarius

trumpet, that was his jazz sound. He also had a gold plated Bach later on and than i

think he had other horns that he used for lead. He made no qualms about bringing

equipment on gigs that he could cover the bases. So he would have his lead trumpet.

He would have his solo trumpet, not always but if he wanted too. Of course his piccolo.

He was know obviously for those of us who played with him not only for being a

mouthpiece guy but quite often changing mouthpieces, even in the middle of a solo.

Rather than some guys who try to do everything in the same equipment, which is

incredible, he did you know figure out what was going to work for him and he would use

it. I know that he also played all kinds of music. He played brass quintets with Dave

Taylor, he played latin music with Victor Paz and with all those records with Eddie

Palmieri and Machito.

While we are on that subject, do you know if he had a favorite style or particular

band that he loved to play in or was his favorite and did he enjoy playing more

lead trumpet as opposed to being a soloist?

 31

Well i think the Gil Evans band was really well suited for his personality. The main thing

with Lew is that no matter what band he played in he needed to be Lew. If they didn't

like what he was doing or his personal stuff than he felt like he didn't need to be there. If

you hired him you hired him to be Lew Soloff and i remember one night he was subbing

when i was with Toshiko Akiyoshis band, he was subbing on lead i was standing right

next to him. That was the night i came in late and knocked over his horn and it got

dented, but thats another story. But with that night you know i remember he was still

playing lead and soloing and the band leader Toshiko wanted him to conform to what all

the band members were conformed with which was a certain length solo, backgrounds

and then youre over. But as we know Lew like dot build his solos up and as i said Lew

needed to be Lew and would just play as long as he wanted. But in the Gil Evans band

that was perfect for him because i think he could do everything, lead and solo. I dont

know what he liked better, i just think either one he let his own personality come out.

What are some of your favorite recordings or solos of Lew and why? What stands

out in your mind?

Okay, so we mentioned the Spinning Wheel solo obviously legendary, which i love.

Theres another solo with Blood Sweat and Tears, i think its Lucrecia McEvil. And he

solos on the tag, its a really great solo. He has a piccolo trumpet solo on a Machito Big

Band album, the name of the tune i forget, its an amazing piccolo trumpet solo. The

funny thing is Lew wasn't aware that that record had been reissued, so i remember

telling him that i had it, and he hadn't heard it in many years, so he asked if i could get it
 32

form him, which was really cool because i was sharing a Lew Soloff solo with him. Now

he's made a lot of solo records. One that really stands out for me is the Little Wing the

Jimmie Hendrix song he does on one of his records, because and this sort of ties into

your other question about style. For me when i think of Lew Soloff even though he

played all these different styles i think about New York jazz trumpet. Theres only a few

guys that do that, and i was very influenced by that which is sort of what i try to do. New

York trumpet, what does that mean to me? It means that guys who came up in the very

late 60s all through 70s and developed a certain style. Not just trumpet players, it was

also players like David Sanborn, Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, Soloff. They

developed a certain style of articulation, its sort of like RnB combined with jazz and

bebop and New York studio thing, and a certain vibrato. The only guys i ever heard do

this vibrato are Lew and Randy Brecker. Ive heard other people do it, John Clarke the

french horn player. Theres a lot of guys that are in this sort of click. That was sort of

with Gil Evans, but if you listen to Little Wing, he gets to do that. Its a combination of

his jazz roots, his lead playing but its this New York sound that he was doing with Blood

Sweat and Tears. Little grace notes, little vibrato, obviously the plunger thing that he's

really adept at. Also, the album Hanalei Bay has some really great stuff.

When you heard Lew play did he sound like any other trumpet players to you?

The only person that i ever thought about was Dizzy Gillespie. Not like John Faddis who

comes directly from Dizzy Gillespie, but theres a certain compactness with strength in

the sound. Something about the core sound, and the way the upper register comes out,
 33

and sort of his bebop licks. I dont think he ever played Dizzy Gillespie licks sort of

speak but for some reason thats the person that he reminded me of.

Anyone else? For me he sounds very original with hints of Miles Davis and the

patience that Miles used to play with.

Theres definitely Miles influence also. The only reason i didn't mention it was because

all those guys that i listened to, whether its Randy Brecker, Woody Shaw, Tom Harrell,

were all sort of coming from that Miles school, which is interesting because the Dizzy

Gillespie school and the Miles school are totally different, and Lew might be the only

person i know now that you mention it that i could equate both the Miles and the Dizzy

school from which is a weird thing, i never thought of it that way. I would also say that

even in my own playing there are a few times when i have made certain recordings

where i remind myself of Lew, not all the time. I could tell you exactly which ones but i

don't know anyone else ive heard that tries to play like that.

Do you have any personal stories that maybe would let us know Lew as a

person?

Before my dad passed in 91 i didn't know it but my father and Lew were hangout

buddies. They used to go together to jazz clubs to listen to their friends and they used to

tape record it. So after my dad passed and i started looking through his cassette

collection i saw various bootlegs that he had made at gigs, and then when i listen to it i
 34

hear Lew and my dad yapping. So one of them was Jon Faddis at Mikells Jazz Club

and it was right before Jon Faddis became you know what he is now. This was like

around 1989, 1990 and Jon was playing a disco tv theme song westerns, with a band

and Lew and my dad are hanging out and theyre joking like hey ya know didnt we play

on that record date and we didnt get paid. You know they were very close, but the

other story is in the year 2000 i put together a tribute to my father at the brass

conference and we had a lot of people involved. Lew was in Europe so he couldnt be

there but he called me from Europe and told me to turn on the tape recorder so i could

record his comments on the phone and he wanted me to read comments to the

audience. So yea thats the point he basically took the time, made sure i recorded his

words and says hey this is Lew Soloff i cant be there, and proceeded to tell me all this

stuff of how he met my dad, how my dad helped him in the music business at first and a

lot of really cool stuff. So i thought that was really nice, i got to read that to the audience.

Lew was also sort of a prankster and I once got to prank him. I went to some recording

date, really big date, probably like Chaka Kahn or somebody, when i was a kid. My

father was on the date, Lew Soloff was on the date, you know all the studio cats were

there, and i had become trying to make money as a music copyist, so i was like a

sophomore in high school, had a calligraphy pen. At that time i was studying the

Charlier book as a trumpet. So i thought it would be fun, i had this fancy calligraphy pen

and this music manuscript paper. I thought it would be fun i wrote some trumpet etudes

that you know they werent really etudes, they just looked like etudes. Like French

etudes and i gave them like funny names that looked like they were French but they

were not really French words, and i made this stuff ridiculous. You know one measure of
 35

7/16 and then like multiple interval leaps with like 16th notes on high gs and i wrote all

this stuff. But it looked like it was legit. So i had it with me at one of these sessions

where i was just visiting, so when the band was on a break i stuck the etudes in Lews

trumpet case and it doesnt say who wrote them or anything, and then a few days later

he calls my house and he was like Chris did you write those trumpet etudes, i want to

hear you play them. And you know he used to leave funny messages on my machine

and everything. You know so what can i say he was a really great friend and a great guy

and i had amazing times with him but then you know when he just disappears you know

you realize, oh man. He was playing at the Zinc bar like two weeks before he passed

and i remember thinking, oh man i should go, and i didnt go. And of course we got to

play together on some record dates you know he was always incredibly supportive. One

thing i will say about Lew is he was always incredibly supportive to me. He never tried to

criticize me, only would support me. And heres one other funny story. We were at a

record date for something and i was telling him that this Bach trumpet i had was really

bad and hes like Chris thats impossible, you know no Bach can be that bad, let me try

it. He plays a few notes, right away he goes Chris your horn sucks. And then i

remember that same sessions, he had just recorded his Rainbow Mountain cd, and he

asked me to come in the car with him and check out the mix, and the Rainbow Mountain

has this long opening track with like really driving drums and synthesizers, i dont know

if you know the track. Its not like any other song he ever recorded. Its just like this

really long, almost like a dance track but not a dance track with soloing but just really

loud and continual rhythm like that, no straight ahead stuff. So were in Lews like little

tiny car and hes playing me this song and it goes on for like ten minutes and its so
 36

freaking loud and i felt like i had to get out of there but i didnt want to say anything. And

i couldnt talk and we are just sitting there and i felt like i was trapped which is just so

funny because in retrospect that was a really wonderful moment. But if you could

imagine Lew like playing me his record, incredibly loud and not letting me talk or leave

and we are just sitting there, if you hear the track youll know what I'm talking about. You

gotta check it out.

Some other stories after the interview.

Okay, Buddy Rich and Mongo Santamaria and Hilton Ruiz, im pretty sure Lew was the

one that got me on all those gigs. I know he got me on the Hilton Ruiz gig, which was a

three horn thing because i subbed for him at the rehearsal and then i ended up doing

those gigs. Same thing for Mongo Santamaria, i wound up getting the gig. I think i got

Buddy Richs gig because of Lew, so he really did help me. But the Mongo story is we

split the record. he played half the record i played half the record. He was the guest

really i played three quarters. I remember being in the studio, and by the way i had one

solo on the record and people always use to tell me they thought it was Lew. Thats one

of the ones i told you i felt i was influenced by Lew. So anyway we had one Latin

recording that had a trumpet solo alternating with the chorus. So hed play trumpet for

eight bars then chorus for eight bars then chorus for eight bars, just a traditional thing.

Not a latin jazz just like a traditional thing. So Lew had his piccolo in one hand and his

Bb in one hand, and not only was he trading with the singer but he was trading with

himself, so he would do eight bars on piccolo, then singer, eight bars on Bb and it was
 37

just perfect because even though it was the same guy he made it sound like it was two

different musical thoughts that were playing against each other and just like seamlessly

in real time, no overdubbs. Live in the studio, and thats another one i would suggest.

The name of the album is Mongo Magic and its out of print but you should try to find it.

He had this small bore, i believe it was either medium bore, or small. I think it was small

bore thats what he played always. New York Bach trumpet. This was his solo horn all

the way for pretty much his whole career. So as i said he always had at least two horns,

sometimes three or even four with a flugel and a piccolo. So we are at Birdland for a

whole week with Toshikos band. The bandstands very crowded. So one night i got to

the gig, and i was a little late. We didnt start yet but everyone was set up. So in my

haste to get up on the bandstand with my trumpet cases and try to plant myself down

next to Lew, the first thing i did was knock over his New York Bach trumpet and dented

it. And i just felt so bad, and normally that would really bug someone. You know not only

did he not say anything to me, this is a true story, he called me the next day. He says

Chris i just want you to know it plays better now. Now truth be told, how could it

possibly play better? He called me to tell me that.

 38

Dave Taylor Interview

Who were some of Lews inspirations or teachers as well as his favorite trumpet

players to listen too?

When he went to Julliard there was a guy named Ed Troydale, he loved Snooky Young,

and im sure there were a million, but those are the names that come right to my mind.

Ed Troydale was a major help to him. In fact when i gave a big concert once my chops

were all screwed up, i went to see Ed Troydale, he was like a very relaxing, had all the

answers and he was relaxing too.

Do you know what Lew practiced to meet all the demands of playing different

styles such as lead, soloing, and classical music.

There was a period of time he was practicing my exercises. But it took a lot of time, so

he gave up on that. He was a regular practicer.

Did you practice together sometimes?

No, he would practice with a metronome, speeding up slowing down, articulations,

longtones, and then quick repetitive articulations at different metronomic tempos.

So articulations were a big focal point?

 39

Big thing with him, and sound of course.

Can you discuss your time with Lew in the Manhattan Brass Quintet, and how he

stood out to you as a prolific classical musician?

Oh, he was a great classical musician, but he got me in that group. They were looking

for a tuba player, one had left and they were going to replace him with another tuba. But

he wanted me in there because we were together in like a gazillion bands, so he knew i

would give him freedom on top. Because a lot of times classical brass quintet would get

caught up in the 20th century concept of what classical music which is sometimes not

expansive enough. And he knew that he and i had both backgrounds and we could

expand the group and which we didwhich we did.

Who were his classical influences/heroes on trumpet for that style or did he listen

to anything specific?

Well you know he was good friends with Sergei Nakariakov, they used to hang out in

Europe together. I was just in Norway playing with a guy named Ole Edvard Antonsen.

Very well know trumpeter in Europe. He was a buddy of Lews. He hung out with Lew.

Im sure it was Timofei Dokshizer who's one of the cats. I know Maurice Andre was big.

But you know Lew and i used to do a lot of things, like we used to go to Carnegie Hall

together. Like i remember one time we went to hear the classical singer Dietrich Fischer
 40

Diesskau, and we were in the last row of the last tier, we couldn't get in but we used to

go to a lot of concerts.

Are there any specific recordings you recommend of Lew playing in that style,

specifically ones that show his proficiency playing the piccolo trumpet?

Wayne du Maine just put something up on Facebook, are you friends with Wayne du

Maine? He was the trumpet player in the Brass Quintet. He just put Lew taking a solo

on piccolo on a Paquito DRivera thing that we did. His piccolo playing was magnificent.

Even studio stuff, like we did a record years ago with Faddis (Jon). Faddis had a record,

one of his first records was F Troop and Lew took some written piccolo stuff on that,

but i don't know what to give you from the top of my head. Anything to do with the

Manhattan Brass. We have a record out the Music of David Dzubay. Crazy out stuff,

Lewie played it. We rehearsed, but he played it. He played the shit out of it too. We

played Bach. Its going to come out in a week or two or three or four. I did a lot of the

arrangements of Bach and the Brass Quintet recorded three or four of them and Lew is

on them. So thats coming out pretty soon and i highly recommend that.

Can you speak about any big bands you played in with Lew, specifically anything

that stands out in particular?

Well, we were in Gils band for five or six years. He was in it for fourteen/fifteen years. I

was in it for about five years. We were on the road with Thad Jones together, We used
 41

to room. He and I with Jon Faddis were roommates. Dave Matthews, for years we were

in that band together. Lewie was in the quintet for years with Dave Matthews. Mingus

obviously, and Michel Camilo Big Band. Thats a great big band. Chuck Israels, great

bass player, used to play with Gil Evans. He had a band that was very well known in

New York years and years ago. Then he went out to Eastern University to teach. Lew

was my favorite lead player. Because as clumsy and sill has he was, he danced when

he played lead. He had a special thing, and thats why he dug me too because my way

of playing is not conventional. So that opened up the whole abstract mentality. And

Snooky was like that too, maybe Conte Candoli he liked. And he love Bernie Glow. Oh

he loved Bernie Glow man, oh yea. Put that down as an influence, Bernie Glow. He

loved Miles, how could you not love Miles, he (Lew) was in Gils band 15 years.

Of course you played on studio sessions with him.

Over forty years.

What were some of your most memorable ones?

Believe it or not man the ones that we remember the most were the ones we had the

most fun on. Because we used to fool around. Like Lewie and i both lost the biggest

contractor in New York because at the first gig he contracted we were running after

each other with water guns in the studio. Yea so we got into shit like that. You know at

that time we were doing ten, twenty recordings a week. In fact i had like with Alan
 42

Rubin, you know who Alan Rubin is? Alan Rubin was Mr. Fabulous in the Blues

Brothers. Alan Rubin was a major influence on him too. They were peers. They grew up

together. Alan lent more to the non-improvisatory straight ahead tone thing. In fact

Gerard Schwarz was a great trumpet player who became a great conductor. These cats

pushed each other on. So Alan Rubin man, they were very good friends. It was so busy

we took studio apartments in Midtown Manhattan just so we had some place to crash or

practice in between gigs. We were doing gigs all day so Ruby and i were like buddies.

We were buddies, on Sinatra.

Theres a video on youtube of when Sinatra was older, he did a later album.

Were all on that album and were doing weekends at Atlantic City with Sinatra and we

would go down, drive down. You know what it is man, we had fun. We were laughing

our asses off.

It didnt even feel like work im sure.

No, it wasnt work, we couldnt wait to get to work. But like today its more corporate. Oh

and the reason i pointed out the thing with losing the big contractor was because there

were so many gigs we didnt worry. We didnt micromanage losing a gig.

Im sure you passed many around.

 43

Oh man, we lost so many gigs because we were following around, but it didnt matter

because we picked up other gigs. We never worried about gigs. I mean we werent

stupid idiots.

Did he influence any specific trumpet players or were there any that he was close

with of the younger generation? Maybe some of his students?

Well i know Rodriguez (Michael), Ryan Kisor, you would ask all the young cats in town.

All the young cats that have any brains.

He taught at Manhattan School of Music right?

He taught at Manhattan School of Music, and he had a lot of students over there. He

influenced a lot of guys. Even with that Blood Sweat and Tears thing man, iconic. And in

fact even Wynton (Marsalis) did a whole record for archives. Multi volume record for

some archival thing. Lewies got the last solo on the record. Oh he loved Louie

Armstrong, so you got to put that down. Oh he loved Louie, and he met Louie too.

Really?

Well they got a Grammy, when Louie presented Blood Sweat and Tears with a Grammy

award. Oh and he loved Herseth. In fact he introduced me to Adolph Herseth. Lewis

used to introduce me around and everything.

 44

Did he study with him or were they just friends?

No he would go back and forth. He studied with Arnold Jacobs in Chicago, so thats how

he got involved with Bud Herseth and all those guys in Chicago. Dale Clevenger the

french horn player, in fact went out to dinner once and i remember all of us, it was nice.

Do you remember him practicing in regards to his classical playing or piccolo

trumpet playing?

He was always practicing for his classical playing. I never saw him, unless it was a

crazy ass chart with crazy changes, i only saw him practice classical.

He really wouldnt practice improvisation as much?

I havent heard him, but i know he must of done it because he was practicing all night

sometimes. He had an apartment on East 52nd street and 2nd Avenue. It was a duplex,

and he could practice all day and night. He had that multiple mouthpiece thing too, he

had it figured out. He hung out, i know some of his friends. Im friends with them but not

like he was. These are brilliant people. Brilliant people liked him because he was

brilliant, intellectually. He had scientists as friends, doctors, researchers. And its

because he was so brilliant and because not only was he brilliant but he had a finger on

humanity. My wife and i went to meet him in Burma on vacation, and i even never knew
 45

the extent of that concept humanity. We went up into the mountains in Burma, not too

many tourists, thats when we went. This was about two or three years ago. We wanted

to hit it before the tourist curve. We went up into the mountains and we were hanging

out with a small farm village where there was old school Shaman, where he as the

leader. You know, old cat, he must of been high on something. And he dug me because

i told a couple of jokes during the thing, and we had an interpreter. Like the joke, they

asked me whats it like in New York with all the electricity and what happened when all

the lights went out. They knew there was a blackout. I don't know the scientific thing

behind it but all i know is nine months later a lot of babies were born. And the cats they

ate that up, they ate it up (laughter). So i was on the inside right away man. They fell

out, they fell out. All these cats were sitting on massive turbans and they had the loin

clothe and shit, falling out. Its all humanity, so anyway we go out and theyre doing

some primal kind of shit. Dancing and a couple of rhythm instruments, maybe

somebody had a flute. And i said of all the cats in the world i know if Lewie had his horn

here hed be able to sit in with these cats and they would love him. And thats when i

said oh the humanity man, this cat understands, he had a worldly, universal concept of

humanity. I miss him dearly. I miss him dearly. But even i had to have that epiphany,

he's my best buddy. He was. The beauty with Lewie was that everybody felt like they

were his best buddy. In fact, at the burial somebody gave a speech. This was a very

famous oncologist researcher. He developed cures for breast cancer, shit like that. Hes

giving the eulogy, he says Well, i pride myself in at least maybe being in the top ten of

his friends. And thats how we feel. We were supposed to come here (Jazz Standard)

that Monday, he died on a Friday night or Saturday and then they had him buried
 46

already, BOOM. So we were supposed to come here and play that Monday night and he

was already in the ground. But the point is this, he was my best friend. He knew that for

me he was my best friend, but he had everybody was his best friend.

The personal stories/memories are of course a big topic.

Oh, thats a big one. And we had a lot of stuff i cant share (laughter).

I only knew him personally for a month and we would always talk between sets,

and hobbies always came up. I knew he loved to act.

Yes he was acting.

And he was going to have a role playing a Jewish Father.

Yep, thats right.

I dont now if you remember?

Sure i do, i remember the whole thing. Lewie and I were on the phone everyday man.

Didnt you guys grow up next door to each other?

 47

No, this guy Alan Rubin introduced us to each other in 1967, eight or nine. And i

remember we were coming out of the Vanguard and from then on we just, by the time

we crossed the street we were on the phone all the time. I used to talk him up, when he

lived in New Bedford hed be driving, he had a couple of Maximas and i would talk him

home other wise this cat would space. Every night man he would drive home from the

gig and we were on the phone the whole night until he got home. Yea, we were that tight

man.

There was also another genre i wanted to talk about. Did he play with Eddie

Palmieri?

Sure, he did a lot of latin stuff. He played with everybody. In fact i just saw myself, i

didnt realize im on a Tito Puente album. I guess he was too. A lot of times he would

recommend me for gigs. Everyone loved him man.

What are some of your favorite recordings or solos of Lew, or you recommend to

go check out?

The Priestess record, the Gil Evans Priestess record. Great, great record. He did a

record of Bach with his jazz group, that would be a good one. He had several solo

albums. I did Soldiers Tale, Stravinsky and its on a label but you cant find it. Its in

Japan, when i went to Japan i found it. Its all in Japan, you cant get em here. I hope i

was a help to you.
