2016 Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival

Moscow-Pullman Daily News

Taking a stroll down melody lane

Looking back at the high notes of past Lionel Hampton Jazz Festivals 1968-1975 Though the beginnings of the festival are a bit unknown, the first two were just a gathering of competing high school bands. Then in 1972, longtime college friends Dave Seiler and Bob Spevacek reunited at the University of Idaho and decided to include local high school musicians.

1987 The University of Idaho School of Music was dedicated to Hampton. Featured artists included Ray Brown, Clark Terry and Al Grey.

1989 Wynton Marsalis headlined the show, along with Carmen McRae, Kenny Burrell, Patricia Miller, Al Grey, Doc Cheatham, Stan Getz, Gene Harris, Ray Brown and Phyllis Hyman.

Tower of Power’s succinct, brassy rhythm A veteran crew, they’re still a young band

By Jake Checani Daily News staff writer

There is a growling, guttural shout out to the Tower of Power horn section on a particular live version of “Spanish Moon.”

Tenor saxophone player Emilio Castillo remembers that incensed night and the 1977 tour his horn section guested on with blues and boogie band Little Feat — shows in London and Washington, D.C., that turned into the live album “Waiting for Columbus.”

“It was a crazy time but they were a very passionate group,” said Castillo, now 65.

By that date, the R&B and funk outfit Tower of Power had released seven studio albums. These early albums, “Tower of Power” from 1973 and “Bump City” from 1972, feature their most popular work to date.

Oakland native Castillo described the horn section he founded in the late ’60s as one with rhythm in spades.

Well, if Castillo was the rhythm, then brother in brass Stephen “Doc” Kupka was the spades.

Castillo said he hired Kupka and his baritone saxophone in 1968. Shortly after entering the band, Kupka altered Tower of Power’s musical odyssey indefinitely.

As Castillo remembers it, Kupka liked the band’s sound but asked during a jam one day, “Why are we doing it to everybody else’s songs, why don’t we write our own?”

At this early stage, Castillo’s brood relied entirely on cover songs.

“I don’t think I ever would have come up with that,” he said. “I was happy doing what I was doing.”

A strike of lightning, as it turned out.

He said first go-round they composed “You’re Still a Young Man,” a song that to this day is one of their more popular.

“I tell people jokingly it’s been downhill ever since,” he said.

Despite his chops as a sax player, Castillo said his true

setlists at their disposal for the 10:15 p.m. Friday show at the ASUI Kibbie Dome on the University of Idaho campus as part of the 2016 Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival.

Castillo said at least an hour of these shows will delve deeper into their catalogue, but “we always do ‘What is Hip’ and we always do ‘You’re Still a Young Man.’ ” However, there may never have been a Tower of Power 40th anniversary in 2008, or two albums this millennium, had the partying continued the way it had the night before that 1977 show.

Castillo said most of Little Feat, as well as their trumpet player, had partaken in a drugged, all-night bender.

Feat guitarist Paul Barrere was in ill repair, limping around sound-check.

Frontman Lowell George had lit matches between his toes.

“They had actually unplugged his amp and he

kept turning around and plugging it in, then a roadie would come out and unplug it again,” Castillo said.

Tensions were high, Castillo recalls how George punched drummer Richie Hayward right before heading on stage.

As for Castillo. “I was as loaded, or worse than all of them and nearly died because of it,” he said of his own substance related struggles.

Castillo said he bottomed out in 1988 and “Doc” soon followed suit. “As soon as we got sober, I started hiring more sane people,” Castillo said.

A budding spirituality guided Castillo and his band through recovery on through to today.

“We pray together all the time, it’s a whole different ball game now,” Castillo said.

Vocalist Dee Daniels makes it real Festival veteran got her break in the Low Countries

By Jake Checani Daily News staff writer

Jazz vocalist Dee Daniels was about to enter her second semester as a high school art teacher when she ran straight into her nascent true calling on a Seattle street on New Year’s Eve. From a young age, Daniels had sung gospel in an Oakland church choir. She sang as an undergraduate in Missoula, touring with a group across Montana and the Northwest.

“I enjoyed working in a band but I was more passionate about art at the time,” Daniels said, who has now performed in 12 African countries and all over the globe.

The Dee Daniels Quartet will perform 8:30 and 10 p.m. Thursday as part of the 2016 Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival.

The direct product of that New Year’s Eve encounter with an old acquaintance was a studio session and gig singing for a rock band.

She said that led her to consider a music career, spending a decade in Southern California and Seattle before she decided to leave for Europe in 1982.

“I had no idea when I made the decision to go that it would be ‘the decision,’ ” Daniels said.

In Belgium and the Netherlands, opportunities she felt would have never occurred in the States abounded.

“Being an African-American female jazz singer, there weren’t too many of them around there,” Daniels said.

“To them I was authentic, it provided many, many opportunities for me to work. I was working all the time.”

She even performed at the king and queen of

Belgium’s 25th wedding anniversary.

The icing on the cake was that Europe played host to a robust presence of notable American jazz artists. Daniels recorded her first jazz album in Holland with legendary bassist John Clayton who happened to live there at the time.

Through Clayton, now artistic director of the Hampton Jazz Festival, she met pianist Monty Alexander.

So what happened when Alexander was set to tour Scotland and needed a singer?

He called Daniels.

“These kinds of situations happened over and over and over again,” Daniels said.

Since then, Daniels has had a vast list of professional accomplishments and been a regular at UI’s jazz festival. Capilano University in Vancouver, B.C., where she now lives, made Daniels an honorary doctor of fine arts in 2009.

Of Daniels, Clayton said, the first thing that struck him and still strikes him to this day is the richness of her voice and the soul.

“When you hear her sing, she wears her soul on her sleeve,” Clayton said.
