In the late 1980s, the renowned American jazz pianist, composer, and arranger John Hicks formed one of
the most influential ensembles consisting of musicians that had played music at the highest level all their
lives and gained their status as both stand-alone artists and important sidemen. Each of them had
participated in many of jazz’s great moments and all shared the ability, documented on many albums, to
inspire their fellow musicians to even greater heights. The ‘John Hicks Trio’ had several line-up changes over
the years that included greats such as Clifford Barbaro (Strata East, Blue Note, Sun Ra Arkestra, Charles
Tolliver), Clint Houston (Prestige, Nina Simone, Roy Ayers, Azar Lawrence), Ray Drummond (Freddie
Hubbard, Art Blakey, Lalo Schifrin), Marcus McLaurine (Muse, Verve, Weldon Irvine, Kool and The Gang) and
Victor Lewis (Steve Grossman, Stan Getz, Charles Mingus, Cedar Walton, Chet Baker).
On the album I’ll Give You Something To Remember Me By from 1988 the trio
consists out of some of the biggest and best players in the jazz, funk and soul scenes:
On piano we have the Atlanta based trio’s bandleader John Hicks (1941-2006). He served as a leader on
more than 30 albums and played as a sideman on more than 300 other recordings. After being taught piano
by his mother, Hicks went on to study at Lincoln University of Missouri, Berklee College of Music, and the
Juilliard School. After playing with a number of different artists during the early ’60s (including Oliver Nelson
and being part of Pharoah Sanders’s first band) he joined Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers in 1964. In the
early ’70s he taught jazz history and improvisation at Southern Illinois University before resuming his career
as a recording artist. Next to his many solo recordings for labels such as Strata East and Concord, Hicks
would collaborate with all the big names in the scene, including Archie Shepp, Mingus and Alvin Queen. In
2014 and 2015, J Dilla paid homage to John Hicks by sampling two of his songs.
On drums we have the legendary Idris Muhammad (1939-2014) who to this day is still considered as one
of the most influential drummers covering a multitude of genre-transcending styles. Born in New Orleans, he
showed early talent as a percussionist and began his professional career while still a teenager, playing on
Fats Domino’s ‘Blueberry Hill’. He then toured with Sam Cooke and would later go on to work with Curtis
Mayfield. Next to his landmark solo recordings for Prestige Records, Idris would collaborate with iconic
musicians and acts from the likes of Manu Dibango, Ahmad Jamal, Melvin Sparks, Charles Earland, Walter
Bishop, Ceasar Frazier, Roberta Flack, Gato Barbieri, Nathan Davis, Sonny Rollins, Lou Donaldson, Galt
MacDermot, Lonnie Smith...and countless others. Idris Muhammad’s work was sampled by renowned
performers such as Drake, Beastie Boys and Fatboy Slim.
On bass we have Curtis Lundy (born 1955) who originates from Florida. Lundy is a well-respected bass
player (and a master of his instrument), choir director, arranger, composer and producer who was part of
performances and recordings of renowned acts and artists such as Pharoah Sanders, Frank Morgan, Cole
Porter, Chico Freeman, Khan Jamal... and many others!
On I’ll Give You Something To Remember Me By (recorded at the legendary Dutch Studio 44 in March 1987
and released on Limetree Records in 1988) the listener is treated to eight majestic tracks of the highest
caliber (including an excellent Thelonious Monk cover-tune) and features a remarkable outing of advanced
musicianship by three jazz-giants in their prime, delivering an inspirational gem of an album.
These recordings sound as successful, young and vibrant as ever! Expect supercharged ragtime Post Bop
with striking notes, no-holds-barred musicianship, high swinging solos, screaming choruses and plenty of
solid virtuosity to spare. The up tempo none stop Latin beat is complimented by the terrific drum solos of Idris
Muhammad and the rhythmic bass strokes of Curtis Lundy. This electrifying set of tracks makes this release
a bonafide hit and a must have for any self-respecting jazz fan or collector.
