David "Fathead" Newman
David "Fathead" Newman (February 24, 1933 – January 20, 2009) was an American jazz and rhythm-and-blues saxophonist who made numerous recordings as a session musician and leader, but is best known for his work as a sideman on seminal 1950s and early 1960s recordings by singer-pianist Ray Charles.
The All Music Guide to Jazz wrote that “there have not been many saxophonists and flutists more naturally soulful than David “Fathead” Newman,” and that “one of jazz’s and popular music’s great pleasures is to hear, during a vocalist’s break, the gorgeous, huge Newman tones filling the space . . . ."〔Ron Wynn, et al., All Music Guide to Jazz, 495 (Miller Freeman Books 1994)〕 Newman is sometimes cited as a leading exponent of the so-called “Texas Tenor” saxophone style, which refers to the many big-toned, bluesy jazz tenor players from that state.〔National Public Radio, “David "Fathead" Newman,” Billy Taylor’s Jazz at the Kennedy Center, http://www.npr.org/programs/btaylor/archive/newman.html.〕
==Early life and career==
Newman was born in Corsicana, Texas, on February 24, 1933, but grew up in Dallas, where he studied first the piano and then the saxophone.〔Jon Thurber, David 'Fathead' Newman dies at 75; jazz saxophonist,” Los Angeles Times, Jan. 23, 2009, http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-newman23-2009jan23-story.html〕 According to one account, he got his nickname “Fathead” in school when “an outraged music instructor used it as an epithet after catching Mr. Newman playing a Sousa march from memory rather than from reading the sheet music, which rested upside down on the stand.”〔Ben Ratliff, “David (Fathead) Newman, Saxophonist, Dies at 75,” New York Times, Jan. 22, 2009, http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/23/arts/music/23newman.html?_r=0〕
Inspired by the jump blues bandleader Louis Jordan, Newman took up the alto saxophone in the seventh grade, and was mentored by former Count Basie saxophonist Buster Smith.〔Bill Dahl, “The Saxmen,” liner notes to Ray Charles: Genius and Soul, Rhino Records (1997).〕 He went off to Jarvis Christian College on a music and theology scholarship but quit school after three years and began playing professionally, mostly jazz and blues, with a number of musicians, including Smith, pianist Lloyd Glenn, and guitarist bandleaders Lowell Fulson and T-Bone Walker.〔
