Joe Roland • Vibe Players Of Bethlehem, Vol. 2



Joe Roland (May 17, 1920 – October 12, 2009) is an American jazz vibraphonist.

Roland began as a clarinetist, attending the Institute of Musical Art (later known as the Juilliard School) from 1937 to 1939. He started on xylophone in 1940 and began playing vibraphone in the middle of the decade, playing in jazz clubs in New York City. Influenced by the nascent bebop movement, Roland put together his own ensembles late in the decade, and in the 1950s he played with Oscar Pettiford (1951), George Shearing (1951–53), Howard McGhee, and Artie Shaw and his Gramercy Five (1953–54), Freddie Redd (1955), Mat Mathews (1956), and Aaron Sachs (1956).

Roland recorded occasionally as a leader; he released on Rainbow in 1949, on Savoy (1950, 1954), Seeco (1953–54), and Bethlehem (1955).

In the early sixties Roland relocated from New York to Miami Florida. He was an influential part of a thriving jazz scene in South Florida for many years. During his 13 year "gig" at Monty Trainer's Bayshore Restaurant in Coconut Grove he was credited for having trained many young musicians from the University of Miami. He worked steadfastly throughout his life refining his art humbly in local clubs accompanied by bassists such as Lew Berryman and Mark Trail, and singers like Sandy Patton. His dedication to his "musicianship" remained the focus of his life. He died of natural causes at the age of 89 in Palm Beach County Florida. He was known to all as a "True and Pure Jazz Musician."

Roland's contributions can be appreciated in a quote from Peter Dempsy regarding Artie Shaw's Summit Ridge Drive album: "The Gramercy Five recordings of 1953 and 1954 document a brilliant phase in early modern jazz, manifested in the presence of pianist Hank Jones, guitarist Tal Farlow, bassist Tommy Potter and vibraphonist Joe Roland.

Joe Roland (17 de mayo de 1920 - 12 de octubre de 2009) es un vibrafonista de jazz estadounidense.

Roland comenzó como clarinetista, asistiendo al Instituto de Arte Musical (más tarde conocido como la Escuela Juilliard) de 1937 a 1939. Se inició en el xilófono en 1940 y comenzó a tocar el vibráfono a mediados de la década, tocando en clubes de jazz de Nueva York. Influido por el naciente movimiento bebop, Roland formó sus propios conjuntos a finales de la década, y en los años 50 tocó con Oscar Pettiford (1951), George Shearing (1951-53), Howard McGhee y Artie Shaw y sus Gramercy Five (1953-54), Freddie Redd (1955), Mat Mathews (1956) y Aaron Sachs (1956).

Roland grabó ocasionalmente como líder; publicó en Rainbow en 1949, en Savoy (1950, 1954), Seeco (1953-54) y Bethlehem (1955).

A principios de los años sesenta, Roland se trasladó de Nueva York a Miami, Florida. Fue una parte influyente de la próspera escena del jazz en el sur de Florida durante muchos años. Durante sus 13 años de trabajo en el restaurante Monty Trainer's Bayshore en Coconut Grove, se le atribuye haber formado a muchos jóvenes músicos de la Universidad de Miami. Trabajó con constancia durante toda su vida refinando su arte humildemente en los clubes locales acompañado por bajistas como Lew Berryman y Mark Trail, y cantantes como Sandy Patton. La dedicación a su "oficio de músico" siguió siendo el centro de su vida. Murió por causas naturales a la edad de 89 años en el condado de Palm Beach, Florida. Era conocido por todos como un "verdadero y puro músico de jazz".

Las contribuciones de Roland pueden apreciarse en una cita de Peter Dempsy sobre el álbum Summit Ridge Drive de Artie Shaw: "Las grabaciones de los Gramercy Five de 1953 y 1954 documentan una fase brillante del jazz moderno temprano, manifestada en la presencia del pianista Hank Jones, el guitarrista Tal Farlow, el bajista Tommy Potter y el vibrafonista Joe Roland".
