- Description:
- Eddie Bert (1922-2012) was born in Yonkers, New York. He was a jazz trombonist and participated in rehearsals in the Loft with Thelonious Monk in 1955 for an event at the 92nd Street Y, and as a member of Monk's 1959 Town Hall big band, and his 1963 and 1964 big bands. In multiple interviews, Bert talks about his upbringing in Yonkers, NY and his musical development as a trombonist, but focuses primarily on his direct involvement with Thelonious Monk as part of the band who performed at Town Hall in 1959. Bert discusses his personal photography, band rehearsals at the Jazz Loft, Hall Overton's relationship with Monk, and Overton's role in the music's arrangement. Also mentioned are Bert's experiences working with Benny Goodman and Charles Mingus, his early musical work in the Army, and Bert's views on the ways technology has impacted the development of jazz.
