much. At an age where many players
are just starting to peak, Murray has
already succeeded in leaving what
will surely be a lasting impression on
the world of contemporary music.
Murray descended upon the Big
Apple at the age of 22, and set the city
on its collective ear. Over the past
eight years he has performed solo
concerts, led his own wonderful quar-
tets, the octet he calls "a little big
band," and a genuine full blown
(read: blowin') BIG band. He is one
quarter of the renowned World
Saxophone Quartet. How many
remember their outrageous
Rackham date a couple of years ago
where Murray's solo literally left the
audience and fellow player Oliver
Lake speechless?
Most importantly, Murray has

established himself as one of the most
dramatic players and composers on
the scene today. He is capable of
unabashed lyricism, being something
of a romantic.
Murray can breathe fire, smoke
and bubbling magma like Mt.
Vesuvius. He often plays with such
wry humor, barely tinged with
cynicism, that it seems that if he were
a comedian, he'd be Dick Gregory.
Yeah. Activist commentary.
My hunch is that as the years pass
we will see the best of Murray's
material, like "Bechet's Bounce" and
"Flowers for Albert," become
cherished neo-standards worthy of
continued reinterpretations by the
next wave of players.
And now ... the ever-adventurous
David Murray embarks on a new ex-

jazz. Small groups. Enter Stanley
Cowell.
I suppose that I will always think of
Stanley Cowell as a young player.
my heart's ears he will always em-
body the enthusiasm and restless fun
of youth. It was a genuine surprise.
when researching for this article tp
discover that Cowell was born in,-
Toledo, Ohio in 1931. Stanley Cowell is
54?! There must be some mistake!'-
But no. He of the heart-knowing
fingers has been paying his dues and
quietly developing the following he.
deserves.
A longtime critical favorite for his-
keyboard invention, Cowell has ibite'
recently achieved something like:
popular acclaim (we should be - allof
us - like raving lunatic arwulfs on this=
one!) with his association with thW
Heath Brothers band. When I reehll
the Heath Brothers at the U-Club 1
begin to tingle. Stanley was so
vibrant, with a smile that lit up the-
stage.
And what a history he has! When he
was five or six, another Toledo pianism
used to visit the Cowell family to
practice on their piano - the lege
dary Art Tatum. Can you imagine the'
effect this would have on a child? -
"He played so much piano," Cowell-
recalls, "that he scared everyone.
One day he played so much piano that.,
my mother ran out of the house and"
refused to return until he stopped."
Cowell had studied classical piano
from the age of four, working with
R&B and dance bands as a youth. He
