Mort Weiss: Mort Weiss Meets Bill Cunliffe
by C. Michael Bailey
If it is a Mort Weiss recording, bebop cannot be very far away. Competent bop clarinetists are as scarce as hen's teeth, the most critically accepted being Tony Scott, Buddy Defranco and Weiss. Weiss' most recent recordings, Mort Weiss Meets Sam Most (SMS Jazz, 2006) and B3 and Me (SMS Jazz, 2006), reflect his solid bop ...

Mort Weiss: Raising the Bar: The Definitive Mort Weiss
by Samuel Chell
In late 2006, clarinetist Mort Weiss told his unusual story to R. J. Deluke in an exclusive interview for All About Jazz, appropriated titled “Mort Weiss: Sets Sail with Clarinet." His narrative is the timeless, archetypal journey of the hero's circular route to hell and back--much like that of Homer's legendary mariner, Ulysses, except that in ...
Mort Weiss Releases First Solo Jazz Clarinet Recording, Raising the Bar, on February 16th
Boy meets clarinet. Boy falls head over heels for clarinet. Boy spends every available minute with clarinet. But then the fast life, drugs and alcohol, slowly seduces, then pries the boy from his true source of devotion. Early passions die. The clarinet is abandoned. Four decades pass. Finally, one day, the dreams of youth are resurrected ...

Mort Weiss: The B3 and Me
by Robert R. Calder
Mort Weiss turned 71 last year. Records from sixty, fifty, forty years back, of anybody playing clarinet as he does now, would have been equally noteworthy with this second CD, even without the novelty of also featuring a Hammond B3 player (far less the man Weiss isn't alone in calling the Hammond B3 player). This may ...
One By One: The Musical Arithmetic Of Mort Weiss
by Samuel Chell
If it isn't a first, it's certainly not a common occurrence for a musician to take his axe out of storage after a forty-year lay-off without a missing a beat. And if Hammond B3 trios featuring tenor saxophonists with Selmer Mark 6s are a well-established instrumentation, the same can hardly be said about the combination of ...
