The return of the Jazz Foundation of America’s annual benefit at Herb Alpert’s Vibrato club saw lifetime achievement awards being presented to four musical legends whose careers date to…
Drummer Steve Jordan — currently between Rolling Stones pickup gigs — led a house band out of the fantasies of anyone who scanned liner notes during the last 60 years, joined by Stones backup singers Lisa Fischer and Bernard Fowler among the serenaders, and jazz players Tom Scott, Billy Childs and Davell Crawford also taking the lead on tribute numbers during a two-and-a-half hour dream jam.
Browne called Newman “one of my heroes — kind of the most heroic of my heroes. I get a little tongue-tied in his presence, so I’m not gonna say very much about him. When Steve invited me to do this, I tried to go through the list of possible songs, and there’s so many that I probably know all the words to but I never have tried to sing; you don’t want to hear anyone but Randy sing those songs. … To try to sing like Randy or try to sing anything he’s written is like going to school.
There was a gasp from some of the audience at Newman’s comically blunt self-description, before he added: “And then I broke it again, actually, to tell you the truth, unbelievably, chasing the goddamn dog. I’m the only person in America who doesn’t care about dogs, and I broke my neck.” Also performed in tribute to Adler was another song he produced, Carole King’s “Jazz Man,” led as an instrumental by Tom Scott. He was joined by members of the house band: Patrice Rushen, Ray Parker Jr., Chuck Findley, Bobbye Hall, George Bohannon and Alex Al.Lester Cohen
