Acclaimed jazz journeymen Lovano and Douglas grace Earshot jazz fest

Only a handful of journeymen jazz players consistently win magazine polls of both critics and readers. Saxophonist Joe Lovano and trumpeter Dave Douglas are longtime members of that club.

Both are coming to the Earshot Jazz Festival in the rarely-seen collaborative group Sound Prints, on Saturday, Oct. 18. It should the highlight of the four-week annual spree.

Lovano and Douglas have carved out a territory that could arguably be called a new mainstream — between roots revivalism and head-exploding experimentalism. No matter how far out they go — into dissonance, free-improvisation, tangential forms or extended instrumental techniques — their music is still blues-drenched, swinging jazz.

In a phone interview last month from his home in upstate New York, the Cleveland-raised Lovano said he owed his openness to both traditional and avant-garde sounds to his father, tenor saxophonist Tony “Big T” Lovano.


“I have to credit my dad for his passion and record collection,” said the 61-year-old sax man, whose raspy voice and beat-hipster patois are beloved by fans the world over. “He played with Tadd Dameron and heard Charlie Parker and Lester young live and played a jam session with Coltrane. He had all Coltrane’s records, man, right on into ‘Meditations’ and ‘Kulu Sé Mama,’ so I grew up listening to music as one expressive thing.”

Joe Lovano Injures Both Arms in Separate Incidents

By Lee Mergner

While on tour in Europe, saxophonist Joe Lovano suffered injuries in two separate incidents and ended up with both arms broken.

A representative of Joe’s management at International Music Network confirmed the injuries today. Apparently, Joe suffered a fall after his performance in Lausanne on the 30th of October. As a result of the fall, he suffered three hairline fractures in his upper left arm. Ever the trouper, Joe decided to continue the tour with his arm in a sling.

Unfortunately, while walking in Barcelona on the morning of the 2nd, he tripped and fell. In an attempting to avoid further injury to his broken left arm, he took the fall on his right arm. And, yes, that arm was injured in similar fashion. At that point, the remainder of his European tour with his nonet was cancelled.

The good news is that his wife Judi Silvano was able to join him in Spain where the decision was made to have surgery. Management confirms that he’s been in the US now for about a week, while recovering and undergoing physical therapy. They said that he should be up and playing regularly again in 4-5 weeks. The JT staff wishes Joe a speedy recovery. Fans and colleagues can send get well wishes to Joe c/o his management: info@imnworld.com
