'''Ronald Edward "Ron" Holloway''', born [[August 24]], [[1953]] in [[Washington, D.C.]], is an [[United States|American]] [[tenor]] [[saxophonist]] known for his ability to adapt to a variety of musical [[genres]]. He has played with famous bands since his entry into the Washington, D.C. music scene. Holloway is listed in the ''Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz'', <ref name= "Jazz Encyclopedia"> [http://www.us.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Music/PopularMusic/Jazz/?view=usa&ci=9780195320008 Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz]</ref> and jazz [[critic]] [[Ira Gitler]] describes Holloway as "a bear-down-hard-bopper who can blow authentic R&B and croon a ballad with warm, blue feeling."<ref name="Gitler"> [[http://www.msmnyc.edu/catalog/facbio.asp?fid=1008172953 Ira Gitler]</ref> |
|||
Holloway was a member of [[Dizzy Gillespie]]'s final [[quintet]] until his death, on January 6, 1993. Currently he is a member of [[Susan Tedeschi]]'s Band, and in addition, Ron also appears as a frequent guest of the [[Allman Brothers Band]], [[Gov't Mule]], [[The Derek Trucks Band]], [[Little Feat]] and [[Taj Mahal (musician)|Taj Mahal]]. |
|||
== Biography == |
|||
=== Childhood === |
|||
Ron Holloway grew up in a household where listening to [[jazz]] was a favorite pastime. His parents, Winston and Marjorie Holloway were and remain avid jazz listeners. |
|||
<blockquote>"My parents met while attending [[Howard University]] in Washington, D.C. They both loved jazz and would frequently attend concerts at the [[Howard Theatre]]. I'm sure I heard jazz in the womb. In my pre-teen years I remember my dad coming home from work, at least a couple of times a week with the latest [[Prestige Records]] or [[Blue Note]] albums. He's a big fan of saxophone and trumpet led groups, so I heard all of the great horn soloists."{{citequote}} </blockquote> |
|||
During these early years Ron listened to and enjoyed his father's albums but had no interest in becoming a [[musician]] himself. |
|||
=== Saxophone === |
|||
In October 1966, at age 13, Holloway attended [[Carter G. Woodson]] [[Junior High School]]. It was there he was introduced to the [[saxophone]]. His first day at school, the director of the [[school band]] spoke at orientation, and after introducing himself as Mr. Capehart, mentioned that he was short on students to form a complete band. Holloway's friends jumped at the chance, and he followed them, only after they kept at him to join with them. They were shown the [[french horn]], [[clarinet]], and an [[alto saxophone]]. Holloway quickly chose the saxophone, because of all the music he remembered growing up with his parents. He comments, |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
The irony is my two friends both quit playing the clarinet and the french horn after a mere two years. Forty-one years later I'm still playing the saxophone and that's how I make my living."</blockquote> |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
"I started taking the school horn home everyday so I could practice. I was very eager to learn and improve. As soon as I got home I'd take the horn out of its case and start playing. Before I knew anything three hours had gone by and it was dinner time."{{citequote}} </blockquote> |
|||
Holloway played the [[alto saxophone]] for only a few months. His teacher needed a [[tenor saxophonist]], and by the end of the year, he made the switch, to the instrument that was to become his voice. In December of 1966 his family moved from [[Washington, D.C.]] to [[Takoma Park, Maryland]], which provided a large basement where he could practice without disturbing others. Looking back, Holloway remarked, "At that point in my life I was very excited about pursuing music and starting that journey toward reaching my full potential. I was only thirteen but I felt I had found my life's work." |
|||
== Influences: Discovering the masters == |
|||
January 1967 saw Holloway's family move to [[Takoma Park, Maryland]], with his grandmother joining them this time, as he began another semester in [[Takoma Park]] [[Junior High School]], playing in the [[school band]]. Each day upon returning home he would go down to the basement and listen to his fathers' [[Vinyl Records|vinyl record]] collection. One of the first tenor sax players to make a lasting impression on him was [[Willis Jackson (saxiphonist)|Willis Gator Jackson]]. His style was more [[R&B]] based and therefore easier for Holloway to grasp at that early stage. As his hearing became more advanced he heard and identified "voices" that spoke most profoundly. Players like [[Sonny Rollins]], [[John Coltrane]] and [[Miles Davis]], became Holloway's principle influences, and have remained so, to this day. Listening to these players, he found that each had all had their own distinctive styles and sounds. It was at that time that he realized this was the thing to strive for; a personal expression that people could recognize as "me". |
|||
=== First group === |
|||
Holloway did begin to find his own voice on the tenor saxophone. When school let out in the summer of 1967 Ron would practice anywhere from 8 to 10 hours each and everyday. "I didn't mind devoting the whole day to practicing. I was thoroughly consumed by my instrument and my musical heroes." Over the next few years Ron would regularly participate in jam sessions with school friends and joined his first top 40/R&B band; the Speculations. More and more the practice of sitting in with all types of groups became an important element in Ron's development and the main reason for his versatility. It wasn't unusual to find him sitting in with a [[jazz]], [[R&B]], [[Funk (music)|funk]], [[Rock (music)|rock]], jazz fusion, [[Blues (music)|blues]] or even a [[Country (music)|country]] [[music band]] all in the space of a week. The Washington D.C. music scene continued to thrive into the early 1970s and Holloway took full advantage of it. However, despite all the local activity Ron eventually felt the need for greater musical challenges. |
|||
== 1970s Milestones:Sitting in == |
|||
=== Freddie Hubbard 1974 === |
|||
In the summer of 1974 the Holloways discovered [[Freddie Hubbard]] was scheduled to make an appearance at the (short lived) Etcetera Club in downtown [[Washington, D.C.]]. Ron brought along a cassette player and a tape of himself practicing along with one of Hubbard's recordings to the concert. During the break Holloway went up to the dressing room and introduced himself to Freddie. After hearing the tape Freddie invited him to come back to the club on Sunday night and sit in. Holloway did and the result was an open invitation to sit in anytime Hubbard was in town. |
|||
=== Sonny Rollins 1975 === |
|||
The next year, 1975, Ron and his Mother went to [[Howard University]] to attend a packed clinic given by tenor saxophonist [[Sonny Rollins]]. Sonny was backed by a rhythm section comprised of local musicians. At one point during the performance in the clinic Sonny invited local horn players to join him onstage. Holloway played on the Rollins tune "Playin' in the Yard". The solo went well enough where Ron received a [[standing ovation]] from the audience. Rollins and Holloway kept in touch afterwards and the two became good friends. Years later Sonny would send Holloway's demo to his [[record label]] (Fantasy/Milestone) which resulted in Holloway being signed by the label. |
|||
== Dizzy Gillespie == |
|||
1977 proved to be a most pivotal year in Ron Holloway's career. This was the year Ron met and sat in with [[Dizzy Gillespie]].<ref name="Gillespie"> [http://www.pbs.org/jazz/biography/artist_id_gillespie_dizzy.htm PBS; Dizzy Gillespie]</ref> |
|||
By 1977 Holloway was making a living playing music. He got a call from his father one morning, and found a new club was opening within a mile from his home. The name of the club was the Showboat Lounge and [[Sonny Rollins]], [[Freddie Hubbard]] and [[Dizzy Gillespie]] were among the scheduled performers." |
|||
On the first night of Dizzy's first week Ron went to the Showboat armed with a tape recorder. Approaching the dressing room about 45 minutes before showtime, he could hear Dizzy warming up. He was holding long tones, starting from the lowest notes and coming up the [[chromatic scale]]. "When I got to the door I stood in the frame for a second. Dizzy looked up, saw me and immediately said 'Whatcha got on the tape?' I said; Mr. Gillespie this is a tape of myself sitting in with Sonny Rollins at Howard University. He said 'Let's hear it!' He patted the chair next to his with his hand as if to say 'sit here'. I sat down, pressed play and Dizzy listened intently. After he'd heard my solo he whirled around in his chair and with all of the enthusiasm of a child asked 'You got your horn?' I said 'No sir, I didn't want to appear presumptuous.' Dizzy grinned widely and said 'Presumptuous-- now THERE'S a word!' We both burst out laughing." |
|||
Holloway performed with Dizzy that whole week and afterwards had a standing invitation to sit in with the band. In 1979 Ron sat in with Dizzy at [[Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club]] in [[London]]. On [[June 6]], [[1987]] Ron performed with a large group of musicians honoring Dizzy at [[Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts]]. Holloway would eventually become a full time member of Gillespie's quintet. |
|||
=== Root Boy Slim & The Sex Change Band === |
|||
1977 continued to be a pivitol year for the young saxophonist. It was in the summer of 1977 that Ron met [[Root Boy Slim]]; aka "The Duke of Puke", who had a reputation for bizarre stories, and who was a real fixture in the [[Takoma Park, Maryland]] [[suburb]] of Washington, D.C.. Holloway began playing with Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band, as they played in the better alternative clubs, such as the Psychedelly, and the [[Birchmere]], as well as other clubs around Washington D.C. |
|||
In 1979 Rootboy, Ron and the rest of Root Boy's [[Sex Change Band]] participated in a film entitled "[[Mr. Mike's Mondo Video]]" which was written by [[Michael O'Donoghue]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgM7TThrvZo Mondo Video] was deemed a bit too raunchy for regular television. In the early 1980s Rootboy and Holloway made [[cameo]] appearances in a film made by the D.C. area comedy group known as The Langley Punks for their Travesty Films group. Ron recorded four albums with Rootboy and at least two 45's: "Xmas at K-Mart" backed with "Too Much Jawbone" and "Do the Meltdown" backed with "Graveyard of Losers". Holloway was a member of several Root Boy configurations from 1977-1987.[http://wm05.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:j9foxqt5ldfe Root Boy] [http://members.aol.com/scarien/root.htm 1977 to 1987]. |
|||
=== Osiris Marsh === |
|||
As is so often the case in the music business, Ron's tenure with Root Boy Slim overlapped with a couple of other groups. One such group was the D.C. funk band called [http://hem.bredband.net/funkyflyy/osiris/osbio.html Osiris]. Osiris Marsh and Ron Holloway first met in 1979. Ron recorded two albums with Osiris; [http://hem.bredband.net/funkyflyy/osiris/osbio.html Since Before Our Time] for [[Warner Brothers Records]] and [http://hem.bredband.net/funkyflyy/osiris/osbio.html O-Zone] for [[Marlin Records]]. Holloway played with [http://wm05.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:fxfoxqqgldhe Osiris] from 1979 to 1981. |
|||
=== Gil Scott-Heron === |
|||
In November 1981 Holloway took off one night for one of the most popular D.C. clubs; [[Blues Alley]] where he had heard a rumor that jazz drummer [[Norman Connors]] would be playing that night. He brought his horn, and once there, spotted Connors and introduced himself. With an offer from Connors, he sat in on the next set, getting a good response from the audience. Climbing the stairs leading to the dressing room, a deep resonant baritone voice said, "I like the way you handled yourself up there!" It was [[Gil Scott-Heron]]. [http://www.gilscottheron.com/GILINTRO.htm Gil Scott-Heron], with an invitation to join his group. In February, 1982 Holloway played his first gig with Scott-Heron at the [[Bottom Line]] in [[New York City], with [[Diana Ross]] and [[Gato Barbieri]] in the audience. Holloway comments, "I got so many things together on my horn while playing with Gil. It was really a valuable period of self discovery." In addition, early in 1982 Holloway was aboard when [[filmmaker]] [[Robert Mugge]] documented Scott-Heron's performance at the Wax Museum nightclub in Washington, D.C. The film is called ''Black Wax''.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBSFSFrVlW4 Black Wax]". Holloway was a member of Scott-Heron's group from February of 1982 until June of 1989. |
|||
=== Joining the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet === |
|||
Though he was a member of Scott-Heron's group during this period Holloway continued to appear with Dizzy whenever he would perform in D.C. In June of 1989 he was sitting in with Dizzy at [[Blues Alley]]. "Dizzy's manager came up to me at the bar and said 'Birks wants to see you upstairs. He wants to talk to you about something.' I went up to the dressing room and Dizzy told me he needed a regular saxophone player and asked me if I'd like to join his quintet. I responded with a question: "When do I start?" 'I think you already have," was Dizzy's reply. Ron toured the world with Dizzy, performing for kings and dignitaries and performed on the [[Johnny Carson]] and [[Arsenio Hall]] shows. During his tenure with Gillespie Ron recorded two CDs; [http://wm05.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:3zfwxq8gld0e "The Symphony Sessions"] on Pro Arte and [http://www.bluesalley.com/cds.htm "Dizzy Gillespie - Live! at Blues Alley"] on the Blues Alley imprint. He also played many of the important Jazz festivals and clubs around the world with Diz. |
|||
"Joining Dizzy Gillespie's Quintet was a major milestone in my life. If you are an aspiring young musician you'd be hard pressed to improve upon standing next to John Birks Gillespie night after night. When I think back on it I still have to pinch myself. It's difficult to say whether my life has been more enriched professionally or personally but I suspect the latter. For, as great a musician as Dizzy was he may have been an even more remarkable human being. The last week I played with Dizzy, in February of 1992, was at a nice club called [http://www.jazzalley.com Jazz Alley] in Seattle, Washington. It wound up being Diz' last booking. Here's the thing: I remember he played so strong and with such precision that week that guitarist Ed Cherry and myself were pleasantly stunned. We stood dead in our tracks as one set in particular ended and Ed looked at Diz in amazement and called out Dizzy's name loudly to let Dizzy know how impressive his playing had been throughout that entire set. Dizzy just shrugged it off but Ed and I both knew what we had just witnessed. We were both emotionally affected. It was uncanny and just a little eerie. Dizzy had just played the way he played twenty years previous. The very next week Dizzy underwent some tests because he hadn't been feeling well. To everyone's shock the diagnosis was grim. Dizzy was forced to cancel his engagements until further notice. Sadly, on [[January 6]] [[1993]] we lost him. It was the end of an era. I will forever treasure the time I was fortunate enough to spend in his company before and after joining his band." |
|||
The sitting in period that had begun in June 1977 ended in June 1989 when Dizzy hired Ron. Ron Holloway was a member of the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet from June 1989 until the passing of his friend on [[January 6]] [[1993]]. |
|||
=== Fantasy Records === |
|||
From August through September 1993, Holloway [[recorded]] what would be released as his first CD. Once the recording was finished Ron sent his demo tape to his friend and [[mentor]] [[Sonny Rollins]] who sent the tape to [[Ralph Kaffel]] at Fantasy Records, and within a week, Holloway was signed to their label. |
|||
''[[Slanted]]'' was released in early 1994 followed by ''[[Struttin]]'' in 1995, ''[[Scorcher]]'' in 1996, and ''[[Groove Update]]'' in 1998, all on the Fantasy/[http://www.concordmusicgroup.com/labels/Milestone/ Milestone Records] label. |
|||
=== With Little Feat === |
|||
The time honored tradition of sitting-in in all kinds of musical situations is something Holloway has done throughout his life. In 2002, as Holloway was leaving Rams Head Tavern in [[Annapolis, Maryland]] a crew member of the band [[Little Feat]] saw him with his [[saxophone]]. He informed Ron the group would be performing on the main stage the next night and suggested Ron come down and bring his horn. Ron did just that and the result is a [[Cameo appearance|cameo appearance]] on the song "Feat's Don't Fail Me Now" from the ''[[Live at the Rams Head]]'' album on Hot Tomato Records, their imprint label. On [[October 14]], [[2002]] Little Feat revisited their 1978 live album "[[Waiting For Columbus]]". Once again the band performed many of the original songs in front of a live audience in the same venue the original album was recorded; [http://www.lisner.org Lisner Auditorium] on the [[campus]] of [[George Washington University]] in Washington, D.C. For this event the group enlisted a large number of their musical friends. It was at this concert that Holloway and [[Warren Haynes]] first met. |
|||
Over the years Little Feat and Holloway have maintained close ties. In early February 2006 Holloway traveled to [[Negril]], [[Jamaica]] to perform as a special guest on their annual performance there. |
|||
=== Derek Trucks === |
|||
The original meeting between [[Derek Trucks]] and Ron Holloway took place in 2002 aboard Derek's tour bus just outside the entrance to [http://tickets.ramsheadonstage.com Rams Head Onstage]. "The first time I met Derek I was surprised how conversant he is with musicians of various genres. As I boarded his bus I realized he was listening to a [[Wayne Shorter]] [[CD]]. As we talked he mentioned several other favorite recordings by [[Rahsaan Roland Kirk]], [[Charles Lloyd (jazz musician)|Charles Lloyd]], [[Sun Ra]], [[John_Gilmore_(musician) |John Gilmore]] and [[John Coltrane]]. That night I realized just how serious he is about music." Trucks and Holloway have performed together many times since in the context of the Derek Trucks Band, the Allman Brothers Band, the Susan Tedeschi Band and a new group co-led by husband and wife called the [http://www.jambase.com/Articles/Story.aspx?StoryID=10884&pagenum=0 "Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Soul Stew Revival"]. |
|||
=== Warren Haynes === |
|||
For Ron Holloway a lot of things converged on [[September 30]] [[2004]]. Little Feat was scheduled to open for the [http://www.allmanbrothersband.com Allman Brothers Band] at [[Nissan Pavilion]] in [[Bristow, Virginia]]. "I realized this was a very momentous occasion. First of all I was playing with the opening band; Little Feat. Second; both Derek Trucks, who I had played with and Warren Haynes, who I had met previously are the two guitarists with the ABB. To top it all off I was about to hear the [[Allman Brothers Band]] live for the first time. After I finished playing the opening set with Little Feat I was on my way back to the dressing rooms and the moment I opened the stage door I bumped into [[Warren Haynes]]. He and I spoke and suddenly Warren says "Hey, Ron-- how would you like to do some playin' with the Brothers?" Holloway played on one of the last tunes of the night called [http://www.hittinthenote.com/cart/pc-362-59-allman-brothers-bandbrinstant-live-2004brnissan-pavilion-bristow-va-93004.aspx "Southbound"]. |
|||
After the show Warren Haynes invited Ron to sit in with his band; [[Gov't Mule]]. The Mule, as they are affectionately called were scheduled to perform at the [[9:30 Club]] in Washington, D.C. in October. Holloway performed with them to a packed house on October 27-28, 2004. Both these nights were recorded. |
|||
Since this first encounter Gov't Mule and Ron Holloway have performed together many times, most notably at the [[Beacon Theatre (New York, New York) |Beacon Theatre]], the Wanee Festival, and the Warren Haynes Annual Christmas Jam in [[Asheville, North Carolina]]. |
|||
=== Gregg Allman === |
|||
[[Gregg Allman]] and Ron Holloway were introduced to each other by Warren Haynes the night they all played together for the first time at the [[Nissan Pavilion]]. Ron has since toured with the [[The Allman Brothers Band|Allman Brothers Band]] and can be heard on numerous [http://www.hittinthenote.com/cart/pc-434-60-allman-brothers-bandbrinstant-live-2005brcharlottesville-pavilionbrcharlottesville-va-92805.aspx Instant Live Recordings] with them. |
|||
Over the past few years Ron has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Gregg several times at the [[Nissan Pavilion]] in Bristow, Virginia, [http://www.waneefestival.com/wanee_bands.html the Wanee Festival] in Live Oak, Florida, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7O_9a2MrZc&v3 Beacon Theatre] in New York City and [[Merriweather Post Pavilion]] in Columbia, Maryland. |
|||
=== Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks === |
|||
In October, 2005 Holloway remembered that [[Blues (music)|blues]] singer Susan Tedeschi was performing at the Rams Head in Baltimore, Maryland. [http://pic1.funtigo.com/concertfotos/?b=538616&c=111188&p=start&cr=1 Rams Head Live] in [[Baltimore, Maryland]]. "Susan and I originally met a few years before on one of Derek's concerts. In fact we both sat in with Derek on some of the same shows like the [http://www.waneefestival.com/wanee_bands.html Wanee Festival] and the [http://pic1.funtigo.com/concertfotos/?b=539198&c=111188&p=start&cr=1 Birchmere]." |
|||
Since joining her band Ron has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdJLsxTy96g&v3 performed in Europe] and toured extensively throughout the United States with Susan playing major festivals, theatres and clubs. He has also appeared on [http://www.tv.com/late-night-with-conan-obrien/donald-trump-emily-mortimer-susan-tedeschi/episode/589582/summary.html Late Night with Conan O'Brien] and has been heard on several [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5035493 radio broadcasts] with Susan in the U.S. and Canada. |
|||
Susan and Ron have also performed together in the group she co-leads with her husband; the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTQDeHLlka8&NR=1 "Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Soul Stew Revival"]. |
