#777Woodrow Charles ‘Woody’ Herman
16.05.1913, Милуоки, шт. Висконсин —
29.10.1987, Лос-АнджелесКларнетист, альт- и сопрано-саксофонист, вокалист, руководитель биг-бэнда. С шести лет пел и танцевал в местных театрах, в девять лет начал осваивать саксофон в школьном оркестре и в 16 лет уже играл в профессиональных бэндах. В 1933 году попытался собрать собственный коллектив, но потерпел неудачу. Играл на саксофоне, кларнете и пел во многих составах, дольше всего "задержался" в оркестре Айшема Джонса (1934–36). Когда бэнд Джонса развалился, Герман на кооперативной основе собрал музыкантов и дал своему первому детищу название The Band That Plays The Blues. В апреле 1939 года удалось записать хит — Woodchopper’s Ball (было продано более миллиона пластинок). В 1944 году Герман набрал новых музыкантов и старался приблизиться к стилю "бибоп". В оркестр, получивший название "первого стада", вошли такие исполнители, как контрабасист Чабби Джексон, барабанщик Дэйв Таф, трубач Билли Бауэр, саксофонист Флип Филипс. Аранжировщики Нил Хефти и Ральф Бёрнс подготовили несколько программных композиций (четырехчастная сюита Summer Sequence, Sidewalk To Cuba) и "запустили" несколько хитов (Caldonia, Bijou). Герман создал себе имидж лидера, способного экспериментировать, исполнять разную музыку. Так, например, 25 мая 1946 года оркестр исполнил в Карнеги-холле в Нью-Йорке "Черный концерт" (Ebony Concerto) Стравинского (были добавлены валторна и арфа), а в августе в Лос-Анджелесе автор дирижировал во время записи этого произведения биг-бэндом Германа. В конце 1946 года Герман распустил "первое стадо" и набрал второе, просуществовавшее до 1949 года. Визитной карточкой этого состава стал оркестровый хит Джимми Джуффрэ Four Brothers — пьеса в стиле "бибоп", в которой, однако, демонстрировалось новое "прохладное" звучание группы саксофонов (три тенора и баритон). Во "второе стадо" вошли Стэн Гетц, Херб Стюарт, Серж Чалофф, Зут Симс, Эл Кон, Сэм Моровиц). Вторым хитом стала композиция Ральфа Бёрнса Early Autumn. "Третье стадо", опиравшееся на аранжировки Нэта Пирса (1952–55), принесло меньше успеха, так же, как и четвертое (с 1962), хотя в оркестр постоянно приходили великолепные музыканты (Рэд Родни, Урби Грин, Кэй Виндинг, Джейк Ханна, Ричи Камьюка, Билл Перкинс). В дальнейшем, меняя музыкантов, постоянно использовал слово ‘herd’ (стадо), но уже без порядковых номеров. В 70-е годы привлек в оркестр молодых исполнителей, играл аранжировки современных авторов — Чика Кориа, Стэнли Кларка, Тэда Джонса, Билли Кабэма. Благодаря изобретательности Германа, его открытости к экспериментам, к новым музыкальным веяниям (например, в конце 70-х годов исполнял джаз-роковые композиции), оркестр оказался долгожителем на джазовой сцене, участником многих шумных проектов (двухмесячное турне по США с Фрэнком Синатрой, выступление с Хьюстонским симфоническим оркестром, телевизионные шоу, юбилейный концерт в
Карнеги-холле). Когда в 1977 году Герман попал в автокатастрофу, оркестр (Young Thundering Band) на время возглавил Бадди ДиФранко. После выздоровления Герман, несмотря на ухудшающееся здоровье, несколько раз выезжал на длительные гастроли в Европу (музыкальным руководителем бэнда стал тенор-саксофонист Фрэнк Тайбери). Герман не был столь виртуозным кларнетистом, как Бенни Гудмен или Арти Шоу, но он умел во все времена находить для своего состава нужных музыкантов и "зажигать" их новыми, необычными идеями. Его оркестр считался одним из самых лучших в мире, несколько альбомов получили премию Grammy, а Герман стал одним из немногих, получивших "звезду" на бульваре славы в Голливуде.Фейертаг В.Б. Джаз.
