Description

Charlie Mariano (1923-2009), a Boston native born to Italian immigrants, discovered his passion for jazz in the late 1930s after being inspired by Lester Young and Johnny Hodges. He quickly embraced the alto saxophone as his instrument and began jamming around Boston. Drafted in 1942, Mariano spent three years in an Army Air Corps band. Upon being discharged, he enrolled at Schillinger House to pursue his studies, but soon, influenced by the groundbreaking work of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, he also immersed himself in Boston's vibrant modern jazz scene of the late 1940s, joining Ray Borden's orchestra and also performing at venues such as Hi-Hat, Wally's Paradise, and Eddie Levine's club. In 1949, Mariano became a key figure in Nat Pierce's band and recorded his first two sides as a leader on the local Motif label, showcasing his modern style, and although he gained some attention among jazz critics, Charlie was still relatively unknown outside of Boston. It was not until he recorded the 10-inch album titled "The New Sounds from Boston" —which included trumpeter Joe Gordon— for the Prestige label in December 1951 that Mariano's talents as a composer, arranger, and soloist were introduced to jazz audiences across the country. In 1953, he recorded four more excellent albums, with releases on Prestige, Fantasy, and two on the Imperial label, leading groups that included other Boston jazz legends such as Dick Twardzik, Herb Pomeroy, and Jaki Byard. Not content with being solely a performer, that year he co founded the Jazz Workshop, advocating for musical education and experimentation. In early January 1954, he embarked on a tour with Stan Kenton, eventually finding himself on the West Coast, where he spent the next four years actively participating in the thriving California jazz scene. Under the title 'Boppin' in Boston', this compilation of recordings from 1947-1953 serves as a testament to the early years of Charlie Mariano's extensive career. Although he initially played too much like Bird to be regarded as individually distinctive, from 1951 Mariano began creating a distinct voice with his alto saxophone, combining the innovations of bebop language with his own unique style. His contributions to jazz, as a performer and educator, solidified his legacy as one of Boston's most celebrated and revered jazz musicians. —Jordi Pujol
