Category: Portfolio/Catalog
Description: 'Soul Survivor: A Vignette Etude of Saxophonist Dick Heckstall-Smith', offers a penetrating biographical study of Heckstall-Smith's most significant repertoire & projects during the latter part of his career. Music writer Stephanie Lynne Thorburn has documented Dick Heckstall-Smith's solo catalogue with DHSS, Electric Dream and the fruition of his Arts Council jazz suite 'Celtic Steppes'. Passages of special interest to DH-S connoisseurs have been carefully constructed on Mainsqueeze and the reunion of Colosseum. There is notable interview input from the ever insightful Jon Hiseman and lifelong friend and colleague, Cream lyricist Pete Brown regarding Dick´s 2001 WC Handy nominated album ´Blues and Beyond´ featuring Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Paul Jones and Clem Clempson. Dick´s son Arthur also offers some reflections on his father´s vibrant life-force and creative psyche, leaving the reader in no doubt that Dick Heckstall-Smith had the ability to draw out both the musical essence and humanity of those he worked with professionally and interpersonally. An obituary of Dick and an original in-depth interview from Voodoo music magazine augment this biographical etude. Text & cover image: Copyright Stephanie Lynne Thorburn. Wds: 21,000
