Talk:Don Redman

Untitled
What's here already is good factual data. But this guy deserves more.

Don Redman is usually considered one of the most important arrangers in the history of jazz. His arrangements for Fletcher Henderson pretty much invented the big band jazz sounds that Duke Ellington further explored in the later 20's and 30's. Reading this, you might think he was just some talented shmoe who did some "assisting" of Henderson, instead of arguably the most essential creative force and innovator of a very important jazz big band from 1923-7. Fletcher Henderson himself was the "bandleader," but he only became an important arranger in later years--in the beginning it was mostly Redman, unless I have misread my history.

What does a Don Redman arrangement sound like? Why is he important? I'd like to see his contributions given more discussion (cited, of course).Sojambi Pinola 06:09, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Wrong Template
Does anyone know how to remove the "biography of living persons" template? Clearly, Don Redman is not alive anymorehi
