RIP, Roswell Rudd
has died at the
age of 82,
succumbing to cancer.Trombonist Roswell Rudd, who was
equally powerful playing with jazz’s
leading avant-gardists such as Archie
Shepp and Steve Lacy or collaborating
with musicians from Mali and Mongolia,
died Thursday night, succumbing to
cancer that had been diagnosed in 2013.
Rudd was 82.
Born in 1935 in Sharon, Connecticut,
Rudd attended Yale University and
played there with a student Dixieland
band that recorded two
albums. However, Rudd by the 1960s was
making music with such revolutionary
jazz players as pianist Cecil Taylor and
saxophonists John Tchicai and Archie
Shepp. Rudd appears on Shepp’s
groundbreaking mid-’60s Impulse!
records Live in San Francisco and Four
For Trane. Rudd was also the trombonist
in the first edition of Charlie Haden’s
Libermation Music Orchestra and he
appeared on several Carla Bley
recordings in the 1970s. The 1980s and
1990s saw Rudd appearing on albums
that explored the music of Thelonious
Monk and Herbie Hichols. At some point,
Rudd dropped out of the jazz scene for
a while, as he told the Citizen in an
interview for a 2004 profile.
