Playboy Jazz Festival Biography
A diverse list ranging from top jazz musicians to blues, soul, R&B, crossover and world beat music crammed the Hollywood Bowl for the 26th annual Playboy Jazz Festival, June 19 20. Predictably, this year s top mass favorites were blues diva Etta James and South African bandleader Hugh Mackellar, and also the smooth jazz and world beat bands. Thats because their liveliness communicate better in this 18,000 seat outdoor amphitheater. The festivals party hearty audience is not deliberately disrespectful, but the most pure jazz groups are less considerately received than they merit. The action on the revolving phonograph stage would be completely lost to those in the nosebleed bleacher sections but for an excellent sound system and two huge LED screens.
The festival started out right in the pocket with tomorrow s stars, the impressive Washington Preparatory High School Jazz group delivering a brief set of the big band charts. The partially filled bowl crowd cheered, and again when emcee Bill Cosby called for the student’s parents to stand for their own deserved ovation. Alto master Charles McPherson s brilliant quartet features his son on drums, followed with mainly originals, although the Bird style leader closed with the familiar “Billie s Bounce.”

During this set, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner made his entrance with his usual entourage and the well publicized blonde’s triplets, plus a stand to sit in his front center box. A major auditory shift took the stage in the person of the South African trumpeter and band leader Hugh Mackellar, who performed his 1968 hit Grazing in the Grass, but extended his sound with a blend of the bebop, funk and Afro beat elements.
Smooth jazzier Brian Culbertson s agitated persona pranced throughout his set, switching from electric keyboard to trombone to vocals. Guest artist Danish born saxophonist Michael Linton, formerly with Bobby Caldwell, joint the stage and contributed to a Ray Charles tribute. That led perfectly into Yoruba Buena s merger of the Motown soul with African and Middle Eastern influences that make it a great dance and festival party band.
Unfortunately, renowned dancer and choreographer Savior Glover, performing with his Tidies jazz quintet, could t tap the hearts of the bowl audience in a long set that turned into time for twisting and snoozing. Even the dual big screen videos could t hold the audience attention in this try for diversity, which I really continue to commend. Winton Marsalis performed a satisfyingly ear catching mix of the playful New Orleans street beat and serious straight ahead jazz. Then the quintet played funeral hymns in tribute to Elvin Jones and Ray Charles during the trumpeter successful 10th festival appearance.

The day s sets will start solidly, first the talented Hamilton High School Academy of the Music Ensemble “A” delivering conventional sounds, followed by the legendary Gerald Wilson and his orchestra. Arms outstretched, this incredible octogenarian brought strong solos and remarkable dynamics from the musicians before introducing two vocalists: veteran Barbara Morrison and upcoming diva Renee Alstead, at 15 a confident and compelling performer, who sang separately and together. Both elicited cheers from a usually lazy afternoon audience.
Trumpeter Roy Hargrove has reworked his style with the Rah Factor, changing from mainstream jazz to pop and R&B. His ability is still obvious, now with a more commercial boundary to it. But pity Peter Cocotte, toast of the Big Apple. The young pianist vocalist sang sweet ballads and swung hard, but never connected with this audience. It was a perfectly good nightclub act, ill timed and mislaid at a huge outdoor festival. I remember similar circumstances in past years during sets by the Modern Jazz Quartet and Nina Simone.
The festival closing sets were as different as two possibly could be. The penultimate presentation was the acclaimed collaboration of the pianist Herbier Hancock, saxophonist Wayne Shorter, bassist Dave Holland and drummer Brian Blade. The first three honed their sounds with Miles Davis in the 60s, resulting in near psychic interplay on their originals, propelled by their young drummer. Aware of the seminal affiliation, the audience was properly attentive and respectful despite repeated sound system glitches.
The final spotlight was on BWB, currently one of the hottest contemporary jazz acts. Trumpeter Rick Braun, saxophonist Kirk Whilom and guitarist Norman Brown were a predictable late inning with this crowd. Their collective practical abilities are considerable, and they sure make the homiest go home happy. I listened a bit, then headed off Hollywood Boulevard to Micelle s for Italian food and softly played.
