Remembering Charlie Mariano...on his birthday.November 12, 1923
Master jazz player- innovator- one of a kind musician. Charlie defined the sound of the alto saxophone in such a personal way like no other. He added something deep and meaningful to every era of creative jazz he was involved in. As well as, crystallized the fusion of Jazz & The Music Of India...to the highest level ever.
I put a small set of pictures / this is part 1 - part 2 is below & an article I did on Charlie a few decades ago for Saxophone Journal....This man's music touched me deeply - and touched the world deeply. Thank you Charlie for not only your inspiration & life long friendship, but for being a mentor as well as the true master innovator, trail blazer and great human being. Your music and memory is never forgotten- thank you sir. Bright sun upon you brother Scorpio.
