He has recorded with every major jazz artist of the latter 20th century, including, including Ella Fitzgerald, Coleman Hawkins, Jimmy Heath, Johnny Hodges, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, James Moody, Lee Morgan, Wes Montgomery, Oscar Peterson, Buddy Rich, George Shearing, Horace Silver, McCoy Tyner, and Joe Williams. Bob has also worked extensively on Broadway and television, including memorable stints as the bassist in Billy Taylor's Orchestra on the David Frost Show, on Sesame Street, and on the original version of Saturday Night Live in the late 70s.
A tribal elder and compassionate advocate for musicians' rights, Bob Cranshaw has devoted considerable energy in the last decade to helping other musicians as a representative of Local 802, the musician's union in New York.

| | The Music from "Decade" by Clifton Anderson from Doxy Records - 684 sec
Doxy Records presents "Decade" by Clifton Anderson, distributed by Universal Music.
Clifton Anderson had been family to Sonny Rollins long before he joined the saxophonist's band in 1983. The son of Rollins's sister, he received his first trombone from Uncle Sonny at age seven, then studied at New York's High School of Music and Art and the Manhattan School of Music. Among his many recording and performance credits are valuable tenures with Slide Hampton, McCoy Tyner, Frank Foster, and Lester Bowie. Anderson has recorded and produced the album Landmarks as a leader, and more recently produced Rollins's Grammy-nominated CD Sonny, Please. He leads his own band when not touring with Rollins, and has taught at Duke University's jazz program headed by Paul Jeffrey.
"Decade" drops October 6.

To buy, please visit: http://www.headsup.com/saxsummit/
Telarc presents The Saxophone Summit's "Seraphic Light," featuring David Liebman, Joe Lovano, Ravi Coltrane, Phil Markowitz, Cecil McBee and Billy Hart.
This Podcast features the rehearsal and recording of the Phil Markowitz composition, "Transition."
Phil Markowitz, 30-year veteran of the NY Jazz scene is dedicated to realizing the full potential of improvisational music within the jazz idiom. He performs original compositions, which range from hard-cutting chromaticism to the most lyrical post-romantic ballads. Inventive, virtuostic, and accessible, Markowitz presents a forward-looking vision for contemporary music. His recordings as leader include "Taxi Ride" (which features an incredible reunion with his lifelong friend, Toots Thielemans), "In the Woods", "Sno' Peas", "Restless Dreams" (with vibraphonist Joe Locke) and "7 plus 8", with saxophonist Maurizio Giammarco.
Phil has recently been heard with the all-star group "Saxophone Summit" (with Michael Brecker, Joe Lovano and David Liebman), but his credentials span a cornucopia of jazz; from the traditional to the avant-garde; from his early associations with Chet Baker and Toots Thielemans, through his respective twenty and fifteen-year affiliations with Bob Mintzer and David Liebman.

| | Will The Real Larry Willis Please Stand Up! - 466 sec
During a recording session for Clifton Anderson's "Decade" on Doxy Records, we caught up with one of the great and truly under appreciated pianists in Jazz, Larry Willis.
Larry was born in 1942 in Manhattan's Harlem. Surprisingly, he entered music not as a pianist but as a voice major, first at New York's High School of Music and Art for gifted students, then at the Manhattan School of Music. His senior year in high school, at 17, he had his first recording date, a classical gig with the Music and Arts Choral Ensemble singing a Copland opera conducted by no less then Leonard Bernstein.
But something even more important than that happened to Larry at the beginning of that senior year. He started playing the piano—no lessons, no teacher, just figuring it out by himself. By the end of the winter, he was playing his first professional gigs in a jazz trio with two of his classmates, Al Foster on drums and Eddie Gomez on bass. No one knew it then, but that little trio was probobly the most distinguished high school jazz group in the country.
Soon after entering the Manhattan School of Music, Larry switched from voice to music theory. For one, he was running head-on into the all-too-evident barriers facing black musicians in the classical world.
On the positive side, Larry's interest in jazz was turning into passion. A fellow student, Hugh Masakela, heard him jamming with Al Foster. Hugh was so impressed that he hooked Larry up with John Mehegan, the legendary New York jazz piano teacher. Those were Larry's first-ever lessons. By the end of that year at the Manhattan School, at age 19, Larry was playing regularly with Jackie McLean, the great alto saxophone innovator.
I know of no more remarkable entry into jazz: a kid of 17 decides to play the piano for the first time; four months later, he's playing gigs with a soon-to-be world class trio. A year and a half after that, he's making jazz history with the next giant of the alto after Bird. Talk about a natural gift!
A year after Larry's graduation in 1965, Jackie gave him his first recording date—Right Now, on Blue Note—and on that first date recorded the first two pieces in a continuing stream of Willis compositions.
Since then, Larry has played on more than 300 records. He's played or recorded with almost every great jazz musician of the modern era, stars like Dizzy Gillespie, Lee Morgan, Woody Shaw, Hugh Masakela, Cannonball and Nat Adderley, Stan Getz, Art Blakey, Art Taylor, Clifford Jordan, Carmen McRae, and Shirley Horn. His most recent CDs include a Larry Willis Quintet and four Larry Willis Trio recordings plus two solo sessions (labels are Audioquest, Steeplechase, Evidence and Mapleshade).
