Reggie Workman
Born:
Reggie Workman has long been one of the most technically gifted of all bassists, a brilliant player whose versatile style fits into both hard bop and very avant-garde settings. He played piano, tuba, and euphonium early on but settled on bass in the mid-'50s. After working regularly with Gigi Gryce (1958), Red Garland, and Roy Haynes, he was a member of the John Coltrane Quartet for much of 1961, participating in several important recordings and even appearing with Coltrane and Eric Dolphy on a half-hour West German television show that is currently available on video (The Coltrane Legacy). After Jimmy Garrison took his place with Coltrane, Workman became a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (1962-1964) and was in the groups of Yusef Lateef (1964-65), Herbie Mann, and Thelonious Monk (1967)

Camila Nebbia/Exhaust, Michael Moss & Trio Imagination
by Maurice Hogue
Trio 3 received much praise in its 35 years of creating great music, but when saxophonist Oliver Lake decided to retire from performing due to health reasons, bassist Reggie Workman & drummer Andrew Cyrille needed to find a third member. They had asked pianist David Virelles to join them at one point, magic happened, and so ...
Sketches Of Spain Or Somethin' Else
by Mike Raggett
The Morning After It's the 1970s, the days before satnav, cell phones and Google Maps. I'm an Englishman working in Spain. I'm a training supervisor for a major motor manufacturer, so I have to travel around a lot, visiting garages--I don't think we called them dealerships in those days--to talk to sales staff about dealing with ...
John Coltrane At 100: A Global Perspective
by Ian Patterson
With the advent of his birth centenary, John William Coltrane is on our minds again. But then he nearly always is. His influence on generations of saxophonists is palpable. For countless musicians the term “Coltranesque" can be a badge of honor or a millstone around the neck. With the exception perhaps of Miles Davis--whose centenary also ...
David Virelles: Creative Inspirations
by Mike Jurkovic
Though we can likely assume that any music brought to life by pianist David Virelles, with his uncanny ability to make even the most jagged improvisation sound like yesteryear's standard, bassist Reggie Workman, who at eighty-eight still plays like the young turk afire alongside John Coltrane at the Village Vanguard, and drummer Andrew Cyrille who, at ...
