Monnette Sudler – In My Own Way (Steeplechase)

A vital participant in Philadelphia’s creative music communities for over fifty-years, guitarist/vocalist Monnette Sudler was also a pioneer in melding jazz, pop, and folk influences into a warmly personal alloy of improvisation-inclusive expression. Despite a lengthy career, her efforts didn’t yield more than modest discography, with a handful of credits as a leader joining contributions to projects by vibraphonist Khan Jamal and the Sounds of Liberation collective as the sum of her catalog. Sudler’s most prolific label association was with the Steeplechase imprint in the 1970s, resulting in two studio albums and a Danish concert date released over a two-year time span. In My Own Way is something of a long-lost companion to those dates. Recorded in a studio two days prior to the live album in June of 1978, it features the same band augmented by percussionist Mohamed Al-Jabry.

Sudler and producer Nils Winther strangely decided to shelve the session, and both forgot about it for the better part of forty years. Pandemic downtime precipitated renewed interest and Winther decided to add an unreleased performance from the contemporaneous concert to take advantage of CD capacity. The result is both companion piece and time machine, visiting Sudler in her youthful prime with colleagues who are dialed in to her designs. Pianist Oliver Collins, electric bassist Kenny Kellem and drummer Newman Taylor Baker evince collective commitment from the jump. Sudler’s cleanly amplified picking bobs and weaves with the Collins’ bright chording on the opening “Thoughts,” the first of five compositions by the leader. There’s a flanging bite to her ringing octaves and serrated runs that contrasts exhilaratingly with Collins’ more conventional comping.

“Easy Living” introduces Al-Jabry’s percussion instruments and gives Kellem and Baker the chance to roam around a revolving Caribbean rhythm. Once again, Sudler’s strings balance sharpness and sweetness and while the piece errs to the slightly drawn out, it’s still a worthy entry in terms of the colors and textures explored. A pair of torch songs, the title piece and “Message to My Love” showcase Sudler’s pipes. The lyrics traffic in amorous affirmations and attentions with Sudler tempering her guitar tone to match sentiment-saturated moods. “Fire and Air,” a smoldering blues shuffle, and Miles Davis’ “All Blues,” the only standard of the session and a feature for Kellem’s percolating strings, are the other ensemble vehicles. “Libra Rising,” the closing concert cut, sprawls past twenty-one-minutes and it’s a welcome counterpart to the half-hour version long available on the band’s live album. Sudler’s still active on the Philly scene and this previously sequestered session should hopefully raise her profile.

Famous

    by     Carlotta Fareira            (03/19/2019) Someone said, “Write about the last famous person you met.”  Well, I consider these women famous as they are very well known in the entertainment field.  They are quite talented and have traveled the world performing.   They each perform, write, produce, and teach their craft.  One plays the guitar and the other the violin.  They are Monnette Sudler, guitarist and Diane Monroe, jazz violinist. My most recent contact with them was at a CD release.  They have collaborated with Trapeta Mason, a poet.  The CD is titled, “How We Got Through”.  The blending of their talents has generated a wonderful CD. I met Monnette Sudler at Center in the Park many years ago.  She was teaching the rudiments of guitar playing.  She is an excellent teacher because of her patience and genuine concern for her students.  I learned how to play a few tunes on the guitar: something that had never entered my mind to do. Since those classes awakened an interest in guitar music I have attended many shows where she and her fellow musicians have performed. She faced a life threatening crisis about four years ago.  Her lungs were failing and she  needed a transplant if she were to survive.  I attended a support concert for her.  Musicians from everywhere came to participate.  Two weeks later the special concert she received a double lung transplant.  What a miracle!  God is the reason!  I spoke to her one week after the surgery and was amazed.  She said it was like being reborn.  She has gone on from there dealing with issues that those with transplants face.  Her gift continues to spread peace, joy and inspiration to others. I have seen Diane Monroe at The Kimmel Center and other Philly venues, but never had the opportunity to speak to her.  When she performs she and the violin become one.  Her energy, creativity and joy carry you with excitement.  You wonder how she dances on those strings to achieve the marvelous sounds that emanate. These two women were given gifts which they have nurtured, developed, extended and shared with many, many, many fortunate listeners. Each time I see or speak to them I am rewarded by the fantastic chords that echo in my memory:  Always a best day.

ORDER NOW!! Click the picture - Sounds Of Liberation Untitled [Columbia University 1973] Dogtown Records Sounds Of Liberation was a band – and a social movement – formed in 1970 out of the Germantown & Mt Airy neighborhoods of Philadelphia. The band consisted of seven members: Khan Jamal (vibraphone), Byard Lancaster (alto saxophone), Billy Mills (bass), Dwight James (drums), Monnette Sudler (guitar), Omar Hill (percussion), William Brister (percussionist, aka Rashid Salim). Sounds of Liberation were at the forefront of avant-garde Black expression in the early 1970s, putting action behind their creative endeavors. They were as much of a community force as a band, and because of that there was a strong desire by the entire group to work with a range of different populations, from school children to inmates. The group issued one self-released album in 1972, New Horizons – alternately titled The Sounds Of Liberation in later pressings – on their Dogtown label. [It was reissued earlier this decade by Porter Records.] This five-song session (with compositions penned by Jamal, Lancaster and Sudler) was recorded at Columbia University in 1973 and has never been released. It has been prepared for this important and long-overdue LP package by group members, in collaboration with Peter “Max” Ochester of Philly’s Brewerytown Beats Records. The LP package being offered for national and international distribution will include a b/w cover by original group artist Leroy Butler. A more deluxe – limited to only 300 copies – LP edition will include a paste-on cover, a two panel insert (with artwork, photos, flyers, some never seen before), and will be available exclusively at Brewerytown Beats Records in Philadelphia (www.BrewerytownBeats.com).

Biography : By ANTOINE RAJON

At a time when most jazz musicians and composers graduate from music schools and academies to then follow a standard, exclusive stylistic career, it is fascinating to meet Robert Aaron, one of the last of these multi-instrumentalists to learn his trade at the 'American school', i.e. on the street and in bars.

Forced to fend for himself from the age of 14, Robert soon left his hometown of Montreal and arrived in New York in 1976 where he made a living by busking on the streets of Brooklyn. He quickly became a regular on the New York No Wave scene and was part of the original line-up of James Chance and the Contortions. He still performs with them today. He was spotted by David Bowie and recorded the 'Let's Dance' album with him. Not a bad start to his career.

Robert played his many instruments (all the saxophones and flutes, as well as piano, bass, guitar, etc.) amid the tumultuous atmosphere of 1980s' New York and recorded with rock bands such as the B52s and Blondie, funk and disco bands like Chic, and for the producer Patrick Adams.

He also played his part in the rise of hip-hop, working with Afrika Bambataa and Heavy D as well as Stetsasonic (on the classic track 'In Full Gear' and on a historic tour of Africa), Wu-Tang Clan and RZA.

Nor did he take his foot off the gas during the Nineties, when he was responsible for one of the first house music hits, 'Sax in the Ozone', for the label Eight Ball in 1992, as well as making his musical knowledge available to Masters at Work and various other electronic artists such as Daniel Wang and Fisherspooner. He became musical director of Wyclef in 1995 for the next ten years or so.

Robert never had any career plan, his only guide being his thirst for music and the twin principles of pleasure and joy, and few people know his name and his place in the history of music. He has always preferred life in the wings and other shady areas to the 'bling bling' of the star system.

I fell in love with his music the very first time we met at Professeur Inlassable's #Paris studio after the poet Gentleman Jake had put us in touch. His love of Caribbean music (he was one of the mainstays of the label Mini and has recorded dozens of albums of #Haitian #compas with Skah Skah and Djet X among others) and his intimate knowledge of Seventies cosmic jazz and its main acts (he also played in Lester Bowie's big band) were two good reasons for coming up with an album in the finest tradition of Heavenly Sweetness.

We didn't set any stylistic constraints, just respect for the moment and the spiritual quality of the music, quick takes, and a requirement that the tracks be emotionally honest.

We shut ourselves away for two days in the studio in Meudon with Robert's Parisian friends: the organist and godfather of Malian music Cheick Tidiane Seck and Archie Shepp's drummer Steve McCraven, the bassist Marc Bertaux and the exceptional percussion players Roger Raspail from 'gwadloup' and the Cuban master of the congos, Emilio del Monte.

Two of the label's loyal friends - the poet Anthony Joseph and the guitarist Monnette Sudler – dropped by to share some musical moments, as did the wandering saxophonist Suleyman Hakim.

The result, 'Trouble Man', is a journey in jazz as it was lived and defined in the Seventies; no borders, no conventions. Robert Aaron's music, with its range of saxophones and keyboards (piano, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer), has a unique style that is hard to find in this age of mathematical solos. It perpetuates the lyricism of Gato Barbieri (his parents are from Argentina) or Stanley Turrentine, with the intense breath of Pharoah Sanders.

When you listen to this album, you experience the profound and now rare feeling of what drives the playing and writing of an exceptional musician. We call it 'soul', that paradoxical state when the profane and the sacred, joy and sorrow merge into one. We hear it less and less in increasingly rational musical recordings because it can only happen when there is a live connection between two hearts.

French Press Release : Par ANTOINE RAJON

Dans un temps où les musiciens et compositeurs de jazz sortent le plus souvent de conservatoires et écoles et suivent une route stylistique normée et exclusive, il est fascinant de rencontrer Robert Aaron, l'un des derniers exemples de ces multi-instrumentistes formés à 'l'école américaine' de la rue et des bars...

Livré à lui-même dès l'âge de 14 ans, Robert quitte rapidement son Montréal natal et arrive à New York en 1976 où il vit de sa musique dans les rues de Brooklyn. Il intègre rapidement la scène No-Wave new yorkaise et fait partie de la formation originale et mythique des Contorsions de James Chance avec lequel il se produit encore aujourd'hui. Repéré par David Bowie, il enregistre avec lui l'album Let's Dance. Voilà pour un début de carrière... Poly-instrumentiste (tous les saxes et flûtes, mais aussi piano, basse, guitare ...) de ces bouillonantes 80s new yorkaises, Robert enregistre alors avec des rockeurs - B52's, Blondie - , des groupes funk et disco -Chic, le producteur Patrick Adams -....

Il participe au développement du Hip-hop , collaborant avec Afrika Bambataa, Heavy D mais aussi Stetsasonic (sur le classique 'In Full Gear' mais aussi une tournée africaine historique), le Wu Tang et RZA.

Les années 90, donc, ne le voient pas faiblir et il est responsable d'un des premiers tubes de la house music, 'sax in the Ozone 'pour le label Eight Ball en 1992, tout en apportant sa science musicale au Masters at Work et de nombreux autres artistes électroniques comme Daniel Wang ou Fisherspooner. Il devient en 1995 directeur musical de Wyclef pour une dizaine d'année...

Avide de Musique, guidé par les seuls principes de plaisir et de joie, Robert n'a jamais eu de plan de carrière et son nom et son apport à l'histoire de la musique restent encore méconnus. Il a toujours préféré la pénombre et les quartiers interlopes au 'bling bling' et au star system. Ma rencontre avec lui, dans le studio parisien du Professeur Inlassable grâce au poète Gentleman Jake, fut un coup de foudre musical immédiat. Son amour des musique caraïbes (il fut un pillier du label Mini et a enregistré des dizaines d'albums de compas haïtien avec #Skah Shah, #Djet X ...) et sa connaissance intime du #jazz cosmique des années 70 et de ses acteurs (il joua aussi dans le big band de Lester Bowie) nous entraînèrent à penser cet album dans la plus pure tradition Heavenly Sweetness.

Pas de contrainte stylistique, mais un respect de l'instant et de la qualité spirituelle de la musique, des prises rapides et un souci de justesse émotionnelle. Entouré de ses amis parisiens l'organiste et 'godfather' de la musique malienne Cheick Tidiane Seck et le batteur d'Archie Shepp Steve Mc Craven, du bassite Marc Ber taux et des percussionistes extraordinaires, Roger Raspail de gwadloup et le maître conguero cubain Emilio Del Monte, nous nous enfermons deux jours au studio de Meudon.

Les fidèles du label, le poète Anthony Joseph et la guitariste Monnette Sudler, viennent faire un 'tour musical', tout comme le saxophoniste itinérant Suleyman Hakim. Le résultat 'Trouble Man' est un voyage à travers le jazz comme il était vécu et pensé dans les années 70, sans frontière et sans code. La musique de Robert Aaron, qui passe des #saxes au #claviers (#piano, #orgue #hammond, #wurlitzer), a une saveur singulière et presque oubliée dans une époque de solos mathématiques. Elle perpétue le lyrisme d'un Gato Barbieri (ces parents sont d'origine argentine) ou de Stanly Turrentine, mêlé au souffle intense de Pharoah Sanders..

On éprouve, à l'écoute de cet album, ce sentiment profond, et aujourd'hui rare, qui anime le jeu et les compositions de ce musicien hors norme, la Soul, cet état d'être paradoxal où se mêle profane et sacré, joie et peine et, qui, faute de transmission de cœur à cœur disparaît des enseignements musicaux. toujours plus rationnels.
