Sadik Hakim Trio • Witches, Goblins, etc

 

Biography by Scott Yanow
Argonne Thornton (who in the late '40s changed his name to Sadik Hakim) had a particularly unusual boppish style in the '40s, playing dissonant lines, using repetition to build suspense, and certainly standing out from the many Bud Powell impressionists. Later in his career his playing became more conventional. Hakim originally studied music with his grandfather and started performing at local gigs in Minnesota. After a period in Chicago, he was heard by Ben Webster, who hired him to play with his group in New York (1944-1945). Hakim recorded with Webster and Dexter Gordon, was on part of Charlie Parker's famous "Ko Ko" session, and gigged regularly with Lester Young during 1946-1948, appearing on many recordings with Pres. After playing with Slam Stewart in 1949, in the 1950s Hakim worked fairly regularly with James Moody (1951-1954) and Buddy Tate's Orchestra (1956-1960) but never became too well known himself. Later in life he lived for a period in Montreal (the second half of the 1960s), performed in Europe often, and toured Japan (1979-1980). Other than sharing an album for the Charlie Parker label with fellow pianist Duke Jordan in 1962, Hakim did not record as a leader until 1973; during the next seven years he would lead dates for CBC, Japanese Progressive, SteepleChase, and finally in 1980 for Storyville.

Biografía por Scott Yanow
Argonne Thornton (que a finales de los años 40 cambió su nombre por el de Sadik Hakim) tenía un estilo boppish particularmente inusual en los años 40, tocando líneas disonantes, utilizando la repetición para crear suspense y, sin duda, destacando entre los muchos imitadores de Bud Powell. Más adelante en su carrera, su forma de tocar se volvió más convencional. Hakim estudió música con su abuelo y comenzó a actuar en locales de Minnesota. Tras un periodo en Chicago, Ben Webster lo escuchó y lo contrató para tocar con su grupo en Nueva York (1944-1945). Hakim grabó con Webster y Dexter Gordon, participó en la famosa sesión «Ko Ko» de Charlie Parker y actuó regularmente con Lester Young entre 1946 y 1948, apareciendo en muchas grabaciones con Pres. Después de tocar con Slam Stewart en 1949, en la década de 1950 Hakim trabajó con bastante regularidad con James Moody (1951-1954) y la Orquesta de Buddy Tate (1956-1960), pero nunca llegó a ser muy conocido. Más tarde vivió durante un tiempo en Montreal (segunda mitad de la década de 1960), actuó a menudo en Europa y realizó una gira por Japón (1979-1980). Aparte de compartir un álbum para el sello Charlie Parker con su compañero pianista Duke Jordan en 1962, Hakim no grabó como líder hasta 1973; durante los siete años siguientes lideró sesiones para CBC, Japanese Progressive, SteepleChase y, finalmente, en 1980, para Storyville.
