AN
INTERVIEW WITH CHUCK FOSTER Geoff Wills (2008)
|
|
| I've
been intrigued by the original version of Take Your Clothes Off When You
Dance (originally titled Never On Sunday) since it appeared on The Lost
Episodes. It's an excellent piece of straight-ahead jazz, with strong
solos all round: the trumpet is clean and arresting, broadly with a
Dizzy Gillespie/Clifford Brown sound; the alto sax is excitingly
reminiscent of Cannonball Adderley and Phil Woods, and the piano style
is somewhat like that of Jack Wilson, who was making a jazz name on the
West Coast around the time that this was recorded. Frank Zappa's rhythm
playing is perfect for the music. Interestingly, the tune is a bossa
nova, and was recorded a year before Stan Getz made this form popular
with Desafinado. Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance fits right in with
other jazz that was happening on the West Coast in the early 1960s:
funky, soulful music played by people like Les McCann, Harold Land,
Curtis Amy, Dupree Bolton, and The Jazz Crusaders.
Keen to
find out more about the musicians involved in the recording, I managed
to obtain a copy of the solo LP made by trumpeter Chuck Foster in 1985.
Entitled Long Overdue, it features tenor saxist Pete Christlieb and
drummer Alex Acuna, and is a very enjoyable, swinging jazz album that
should have reached a wider audience. Interestingly, Chuck had put his
telephone number on the back of the LP sleeve, so I took a chance and
rang it. Amazingly, Chuck answered, still at the same number, as luck
would have it. He proved to be a very pleasant person who was happy to
talk, and he was able to provide fascinating information about the Take
Your Clothes Off session and also the recording of the Run Home Slow
soundtrack. This is his story, taken from telephone conversations and
emails. |
|
|
Chuck
was born on December 11, 1939. After joining his High School band at age
twelve, he heard Louis Armstrong live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. This
stimulated his interest in improvising on the trumpet, and soon he was
listening to recordings by Chet Baker, Clifford Brown, Miles Davis and
Charlie Parker. With friends, Chuck started playing dance gigs, and this
continued until he graduated from High School. Next, he auditioned for a
US army HQ band and was accepted. After attending Armed Forces Music
School he spent one year each in the Eighth Army and Sixth Army Bands. In
January 1961 Chuck got out of the service and was in Los Angeles, and he
received a call from someone associated with Frank Zappa to do a
recording session. This turned out to be for Take Your Clothes Off When
You Dance. He can only remember recording this one track at the Pal
Studio session, but he said that they rehearsed tunes for a couple of
weeks - "It was real loose, we had a lot of laughs, a very relaxed
atmosphere." Interestingly, Chuck also said, "Oh yes, Frank
always liked jazz - he was always a fan." Of
the other musicians on the session, Chuck was only acquainted with the
alto sax player, whose name was Tony Rodriquenz, not Rodriguez as stated
on the Lost Episodes CD. "He was a monster - sounded like
Cannonball Adderley," said Chuck, "But he gravitated away from
music and became a teacher (not music) and played at weekends."
Sadly, Tony Rodriquenz died as a result of cancer in 2007. Chuck also
believes that the name of the drummer on the session was Chuck Glave,
not Chuck Grove, again as stated on the Lost Episodes CD. Of
further interest is that Chuck played trumpet on the soundtrack music
for the film Run Home Slow, and he remembered a number of other
musicians who were also involved. These were Ron Myers (trombone), Chick
Carter (flute, tenor sax, baritone sax), Don Christlieb (oboe), Pete
Christlieb (tenor sax), Chuck Domanico (bass) and John Guerin (drums).
Don Christlieb was already a first-call studio musician, and all the
others developed high-profile jazz and/or session careers: Myers with
Woody Herman, Don Ellis and Buddy Rich, Carter with Harry James, and
Domanico with Don Ellis. Pete Christlieb appeared on Steely Dan's Aja. |
|
|
In
1963 Chuck was a member of the Si Zentner orchestra, and between 1963
and 1966 he was in a nine-piece group (three trumpets, three trombones,
three rhythm) backing singer Della Reese. In 1965 he made his first
straight-ahead jazz album: this was Opus One, with the Hank Bagby
Quintet. The album gained a 31/2 star
review in Downbeat magazine. In 1966 he took the jazz trumpet chair with
the Buddy Rich Orchestra. In 1969 he played with Harry James's
orchestra, and from 1970 to 1978 he played headline shows in Las Vegas. Unfortunately,
Chuck had a motorcycle accident and retired from music for a time, but
he gradually returned to playing local gigs. He recently had a serious
eye operation, but is gradually improving, and appears to maintain a
very positive attitude. His solo LP, Long Overdue, is well worth seeking
out, and deserves to be issued on CD. Chuck's story also emphasizes
that, from the beginning of his career, Frank Zappa had a liking for
jazz, and associated with jazz musicians. I'm very grateful to Chuck for co-operating so willingly in this interview, and for increasing the fund of knowledge available to music fans. -- Geoff Wills |

superb album, and it should give you high expectations for the concert
that the band will be doing at The Zappateers Festival in March.

Here's a little correction on the Russian "Beat Club" bootleg

get Adrian inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.

to the RNRHOF's rules, Adrian has only been eligible for a short while
but with everything Adrian has done for music over the years (and what
he's doing now), there is no better time to place him alongside the
other greats of Rock N Roll. Help get Adrian inducted. INDUCT

in Wezembeek-Oppem (which is near Brussels in Belgium) for a concert of Cpt.
Cheese-Beard & The 7 Sisters Of Prevention. I had seen them
before, about half a year ago, so I knew that I was in for a treat.
The concert was good. Especially Vanessa (on vocals) made an overwhelming impression. The setlist might have looked something like this:

Moon in concert at 'De Singer' in Rijkevorsel, Belgium.
'De Singer' is a fine jazz club and I've seen quite a few bands
performing there. Last Friday, however, the venue was almost too small
for Aka Moon. The place was loaded. And it's all a matter of taste, as I saw at least 5 people in the audience that own the entire Zappa catalogue... I've added an Aka Moon entry to UM, if only to add their discography
and some data on various live shows... |

| Here's
a nice little piece of an interview with Frank Zappa, as published in
Society Pages (the US zappa fanzine) number six. We're talking 1991.
It's quite interesting to read how Zappa is amused and pleased by some
of the things that his fans are doing. And even the Arf Society gets a
mention... I remember reading the interview when it came out, years ago, and I was quite suprised. Not only because FZ had taken the time to talk with Denn & Rob, but also because he seemed really interested. It looked like it might become an interesting symbiosis, FZ and Society Pages. Unfortunately, the mag folded in 1992 (not mentioning the 1994 issue). |

The bands confirmed so far are:
those accomplished purveyors of psychedelic jazz with modern rock sensibilities and downright great musicians are a real coup for the festival and promise to be a real highlight of the weekend. Cuccurullo Brillo Brullo, Known as the Dutch masters, veterans of Zappanale, and all round great guys, Cuccurullo Brillo Brullo are doing their best to keep the music of Zappa alive by lovingly recreating his fabulous work live. Do not miss. The Foolz, veterans of the Zappa scene and great friends of the Zappateers always entertain whenever they're let loose on their instruments and on their native soil will excel themselves. Blurp, a Dutch band will Freak everyone out with some early Zappa complete with zany and crazy stage antics reminiscent of Zappa's Garrick theatre days. The tickets are priced at 80 EUR which includes indoor festival accommodation meaning you can leave your tents at home, just bring a sleeping bag, pillow case, sheet and dancing shoes.
