Jacquet told an interviewer that playing in that jam session "was like playing with God, St Jazz Saxophonist Illinois Jacquet Dies Jul 23, 9:19 AM EST Illinois Jacquet, a legendary tenor saxophonist who played with nearly every jazz and blues luminary of his time and whose standout solo on Lionel Hampton's "Flying Home" became a rhythm and blues standard, has died He likened the performance to a religious experience He dropped the name Jean-Baptiste when the family moved from Louisiana to Houston because there were so few French-speaking people there " Born Jean-Baptiste Jacquet in Broussard, La During his heyday in the 1940s and 1950s, Jacquet recorded more than 300 original compositions, including three of his biggest hits, "Black Velvet," "Robbins' Nest" and "Port of Rico He also performed for Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan "It all came together for some reason When he was 19, he played the tenor saxophone solo on "Flying Home" with Hampton In 1983, he became the first jazz musician to become artist-in-residence at Harvard University " Jacquet, who defined the jazz style called screeching, was known as much for his trademark pork pie hat as the innovative playing style He played tenor sax in the Count Basie and Cab Calloway bands and since 1981 performed with his own band, the Illinois Jacquet Big Band Peter and Moses," yet he wasn't nervous because "when you play with the greatest you play even better The nickname Illinois came from the Indian word "Illiniwek," which means superior men Jacquet played "C-Jam Blues" with former President Bill Clinton, an amateur saxophonist, on the White House lawn during Clinton's inaugural ball in January 1993 Jacquet, one of six children, began performing at age 3, tap dancing to the sounds of the Gilbert Jacquet band " He replaced Young in the Count Basie Orchestra in 1946 and was given the nickname "The King" by Basie His first exposure was a command performance by Cole, who lined up bass player Jimmy Blanton, Sid Catlett on drums and guitarist Charlie Christian from the Benny Goodman Orchestra and told Jacquet he wanted to hear what he could do He later played the drums in his father's band but discovered his true talent when a music teacher introduced him to the saxophone " Jacquet appeared with Calloway's band in the Lena Horne movie "Stormy Weather" and in the Academy Award-nominated short film "Jammin' the Blues" with Billie Holiday and Lester Young Despite his fame, Jacquet lived quietly in New York City's borough of Queens After graduating from high school, Jacquet moved to California where he soon earned a reputation as a little guy who played a lot of sax Jacquet died of a heart attack Thursday at his New York City home, said longtime friend and collaborator Dan Frank , his mother was a Sioux Indian and his father, Gilbert Jacquet, a French-Creole railroad worker and part-time musician During a career spanning eight decades, Jacquet played with such music greats as Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Jo Jones, Buddy Rich, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis and Gene Krupa During the 1960s and 1970s, he toured extensively in Europe He was 81 "Something was with me at that moment," he said "When he's on stage with a horn in his hand, he's comfortable, but put him in front of a class, just talking that's a whole different thing," she said His wife said he followed Basie to Queens in 1947 but stayed because "the cost of parking his car in Manhattan was more than the rent on his apartment There they met with Sneddon and presiding Superior Court Judge Clifford Anderson " Tellem said the district attorney would have no comment because of a gag order The attorney said the accusations came from the boy's mother and were "patently false Jackson's legal team issued a statement Wednesday saying the singer will plead innocent during his scheduled April 30 arraignment if the grand jury issues an indictment On Wednesday, grand jurors were whisked from the proceedings to the downtown Santa Barbara courthouse in vans with darkened windows Jackson pleaded innocent in January and has been free on $3 million bail Grand Jury Indicts Jackson, Reports Say Apr 22, 6:59 AM EST Michael Jackson has been indicted by a grand jury investigating child molestation allegations against the pop star after three weeks of closed witness testimony, according to news reports He denied the allegations and said the two former Jackson employees would not appear before the grand jury The closed-door grand jury proceedings determines whether there is enough evidence for the case to go to trial, and replaced a preliminary hearing, which would have been public Four months ago, county prosecutors charged Jackson with seven counts of lewd or lascivious acts on a child under the age of 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent, reportedly wine The statement did not confirm an indictment Grand jury indictments are usually secret until a defendant is arraigned None of the reports included details about the indictments, and there was no official confirmation or announcement Transcripts of the secret grand jury proceeding will be provided to Jackson's defense team within the next 10 days " She said she had spoken with Jackson on Wednesday and that "he is out and about Several newspapers and television networks cited unidentified sources saying the Santa Barbara County grand jury had indicted Jackson An unidentified source close to the case told the Times the charges were under consideration Attorney Joseph Tacopina said there had been speculation that two of his clients, Vincent Amen and Frank Tyson, would either be indicted by the grand jury or charged separately with alleged intimidation of witnesses Jackson's spokeswoman, Raymone Bain, added in an interview that "nothing has been issued from the court which indicates that there is an indictment The transcripts will then be made public 10 days after that unless Jackson's attorneys can convince a judge doing so would prejudice a future jury pool " The district attorney's office also would not comment about the media reports, said Susan Tellem of Tellem Worldwide, hired to handle media inquiries for District Attorney Tom Sneddon in the case A judge has issued a gag order that prohibits attorneys on both sides from discussing the case The grand jury has spent the last three weeks hearing from witnesses, including a 14-year-old boy who claims the pop superstar sexually abused him Meanwhile, conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges were being considered against several associates of Michael Jackson for allegedly threatening the family of the boy who has accused Jackson of child molestation, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday Jackson attorney Mark Geragos, reached by telephone, would not answer questions from The Associated Press |
