Royce Campbell: Guitarist Extraordinaire

Royce Campbell: Guitarist Extraordinaire

I've been familiar with Royce Campbell's music for nearly 30 years, ever since I bought his Tribute to Henry Mancini album in 1995. Royce played with Marvin Gaye, toured with Mancini for 19 years and has released more than 40 albums. Royce has a terrifically tasteful touch, he swings beautifully, his chord voicings are engaging and his jazz playing is sublime. He also has composed more than 1,000 songs. A couple of weeks ago, he sent along two of his ...

One of my favorite albums celebrating the music of Henry Mancini is guitarist Royce Campbell's Tribute to Henry Mancini, recorded in 1996. Royce marvelously captures Mancini's hip and gentle melody lines and his passion for space. Royce should know. He was Mancini's guitarist for 19 years. A year before this album, Royce recorded a solid organ-trio album with organist Melvyn Rhyne and drummer Jimmy Cobb. You don't climb into the proverbial ring with those guys unless you know exactly what ...

Several weeks ago I posted on Jessica Ferber's haunting new book on the photos of Robert Campbell, who died homeless in Vermont in 2002. Jessica rescued boxes of his images and negatives from the shelter and just published a book of Campbell's work (go here), which features jazz musicians, folk artists and Greenwich Village in the early 1960s. I wrote the book's forward. Late last week, Jessica wrote to tell me about discovering Campbell in the film, Goodbye, Columbus, a ...

Three years ago, Jessica Ferber called to tell me an incredible story. Jessica said that back in 2002 she was living in Burlington, Vt., when her roommate told her about a project she was too busy to take on. A local homeless shelter had contacted their former philosophy professor at the University of Vermont about a homeless man who had just died and left behind a ton of photographs he had taken. Many of them were of leading jazz artists ...

VISION 19 - Studies In Freedom. Wednesday June 11 thru Sunday June 15, 2014 Roy Campbell was deeply grounded in the jazz tradition, and exhibited a working musician’s flexibility, with experiences ranging from R. & B. bands to off-Broadway shows, to reggae to electronics. Like Don Cherry, one of his heroes, Campbell was an omnivorous collaborator, working with hundreds of musicians all around the world. But at his core he was a true New Yorker, representing a particularly rugged and ...

I guess it’s hard to situate someone by comparing them to others, but for lack of ...

Last Thursday, my phone rang. On the other end was a young woman who hurridly began telling me a story, adding that a friend had suggested she contact me. The only words that stuck at the time were “photographs," “Campbell" and “homeless." Since I hear from media relations people all day long promoting one thing or another, I asked her to send me an email and that I'd take a look. She sent along a link to a Kickstarter drive ...
