Vol. 32 No. 3 March 2006 David Leonhardt Interview Taken and Transcribed by Ludwig Van Trikt CADENCE: What was your early beginning like? DAVID LEONHARDT: My first professional job was at the age of 14 in Louisville, KY. I was playing organ in a teen rock and roll band and that job was for a basement make-out party for teenagers when the parents were out of town. I knew from that moment I wanted to be a professional musician. What could be better than being the center of attention to all my peers? Having the girls think I was cool didn't hurt either. Also, I sensed from the start that when the music is playing and the best is happening, the moment has been lifted out of the ordinary. Even then that feeling of being part of something larger than myself was powerful and profound. That band went on to be popular in central Kentucky and we did a lot of high school dances or roller rink dances where the kids would roller skate for two hours then dance for two hours. We were so young that we could not even drive so our moms would load us into their station wagons with all our amps and PA equipment, they would take us all over Kentucky. We played every weekend for a few years. In those days we called it "playing". Later when I started playing with older musicians for more money, we called it "working". Somehow, that change in wording made us feel more grown up. My first girlfriend was a teenage groupie who would follow us around from gig to gig and my next girlfriend was the singer in the band. That pretty much set the pattern for the next twenty years of my life as far as relationships went. That band won a big local battle of the bands and we were awarded a big expensive PA system that was our downfall. Once we had assets we started to argue over them and eventually broke up. After that I joined a southern rock band that copied Allman Brothers songs. I was 16 and the other guys were in their 20's and we were playing Blues bars and nightclubs, playing till the wee hours of the morning. They nicknamed me "The Kid" and I had to lie about my age to play in the clubs. I was the only one in the band that could read music. I would say that sex, drugs, and Rock and Roll was their mantra so it gave me a real education. Back then my audience was bikers and drinkers and people looking to hook up and get high. A real discerning crowd. I loved every minute of it and moved out of my parents house when I was 17. By then I was playing a Wurlitzer electric piano and a Hammond organ. After a year of that I joined a roadhouse country and western band that played six nights a week for a couple years at a country dance hall. The bar owner was the worst. He hated the musicians and made our life hell. But that was where I learned to belly up to the bar and order a drink. We were playing for middle age country dancers who would crowd the dance floor all night long. The music was loud and fun. By this time I had a four keyboard setup adding a clavinet and a fender Rhodes. We lost that gig and went to a real country dive where we played for alcoholics, losers and prostitutes. The smoke was so thick that my eyes would water all night and I finally quit the gig over that. CAD: You must be very familiar with the chitlin circuit, having played for ten years with David "Fathead" Newman? D.L.: When I first started playing Jazz I was 17 years old and knew nothing but had heard two Miles Davis records. One was A Tribute to Jack Johnson, which is a fusion record of rock vamps that knocked me out, and a compilation that included "Seven Steps To Heaven" and "Four". I dug that as well but had no frame of reference to understand about the different styles in Jazz. Luckily for me Jamey Aebersold lived near me and I started hanging out with him at his house and he would show me things on the piano. Jamey is the number one Jazz education/clinic thing so it was great for me to be around that. There were no pianists in town then who would jam with him so he taught me- Shop: odax

Liebman, D: Quint5t/CD
Die 5 Musiker dieser All-Star Band benötigen keine Vorstellung. Es gibt aber zwei ungewöhnliche Dinge, die zu erwähnen sind. Erstens spielt diese Band nicht, wie eine beliebige All-Star Band. Dies ist eine zusammengeschweißte Einheit, die der Wunsch zum Zusammenspiel eint, und bei denen jeder weiß, wie man jedem einzelnen den Raum lässt, um sein Talent zu entfalten ud zum Scheinen zu bringen. Zweitens verlassen sie sich, obwohl man sie kaum mehr als Youngsters bezeichnen kann, keinesfalls auf in der Vergangenheit etabliertes, sondern entwickeln immer noch Neues und beziehen daraus ihre künstlerische Kraft. Das Ergebnis ist eine Musik, die auf dem Boden der Tradition steht, aber nach vorne schaut, und neue Möglichkeiten sucht. Der Eröffnungstrack "Mystery Song" ist das perfekte Beispiel. Es ist die 2020er Neuauflage eines Tunes, der ursprünglich 1931 von seinem Komponisten Duke Ellington aufgenommen wurde.- Shop: odax
