Edward "Butch" Warren (August 9, 1939 – October 5, 2013)〔("Edward ‘Butch’ Warren, Washington-born bassist, dies at 74". ) ''The Washington Post''. Retrieved 6 October 2013.〕 was an American jazz double bassist who played in the hard bop genre. He was especially active in the late-50s and the 1960s. ==Biography== Warren began playing professionally at age 14 in a local Washington, D. C. band led by his father, Edward Warren. He later worked with other local groups, including Stuff Smith's〔(Scott Yanow at allmusic )〕 as well as with altoist and bandleader Rick Henderson at the historic Howard Theatre on 7th and T Streets.〔(All about jazz ) 〕 In 1958, he moved to New York City to play with Kenny Dorham, appearing on his first recording, with Dorham, in January 1960 with saxophonist Charles Davis, pianist Tommy Flanagan and drummer Buddy Enlow.〔 He stayed in New York for the rest of his musical career, mainly as house bassist for Blue Note records.〔("Decades of Discord Lie Between a Man and His Music" by Marc Fisher. ''Washington Post'' Sunday, May 21, 2006; ) 〕 As sideman, he also recorded with Miles Davis, Hank Mobley, Donald Byrd, Sonny Clark, Dexter Gordon, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Jackie McLean, and Stanley Turrentine. He played with Thelonious Monk in 1963 and 1964 and then moved back to Washington, D.C., where he briefly worked in television before becoming seriously ill.〔 Following the onset of his illness he played professionally only occasionally, including a regular gig at the jazz club Columbia Station in Washington D.C.'s Adams Morgan neighborhood.〔(Raw Fisher by Marc Fisher. ''Washington Post'' July 26, 2007; )〕 His solos were inventive, occasionally using the bow. His only solo effort was captured on "Butch's Blues" but is better known as a sideman on many albums, including Dexter Gordon's ''Go'',〔(allmusic review )〕 Jackie McLean's ''Vertigo'' (1959) and ''Hipnosis'' (1967), and many recordings with Thelonious Monk. His most memorable contribution was on Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man", on Hancock's debut album, ''Takin' Off'' (1962). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Butch Warren」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
