Lafayette Gilchrist
Lafayette Gilchrist (born August 3, 1967) is an American jazz pianist and composer. As of January 2014, he lived in Baltimore.〔 He has had a long association with saxophonist David Murray, with whom he has toured internationally.〔Himes, Geoffrey (June 13, 2013) ("Lafayette Gilchrist and the New Volcanoes at the Maryland Traditions Festival" ). ''The Washington Post''.〕
Gilchrist leads an octet/nonet named the New Volcanoes, and a trio called Inside Out (with bassist Michael Formanek and drummer Eric Kennedy). Gilchrist acknowledges multiple influences on his music: "I come from hip-hop culture, () I'm not a rapper. I'm not a DJ. I'm not a dancer. But I feed off of all that. All of that's part of what I grew up in, what I grew up around."〔
==Early life==
Gilchrist was born in Washington, D.C. on August 3, 1967;〔 he also grew up there.〔Whitehead, Kevin (January 20, 2014) ("Lafayette Gilchrist: An Old Soul, at Ease in a Modern World" ). npr.org〕〔("Lafayette Gilchrist: Biography" ). All About Jazz. Retrieved January 31, 2014.〕 His mother, Janice Taylor Murdock, worked for the Federal Aviation Administration.〔 As a child, "his musical interests were Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5 and other soulful greats that flooded the airwaves of Black radio."〔Marvin, Bobby (October 4–10, 2008) "Something for the People". ''Afro – American''. Volume 117/8. p. B3.〕 Gilchrist's mother remarried when he was 14, at which point they moved to Prince George's County.〔 He also enjoyed the local go-go at this time, and listened to Chuck Brown practicing near his aunt's home.〔 Brown played jazz standards in a different style; Gilchrist observed that "it taught me that you can combine funk grooves and jazz".〔
In his late teens, Gilchrist took up boxing and considered joining the army, but was steered away from both by his stepfather.〔 Gilchrist moved to Baltimore when he was 17, to study economics at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.〔 He started playing the piano at the same time – he stated that he started practicing in the piano rooms of his university after briefly playing the Steinway grand in its recital hall while a summer school student before beginning his degree.〔Schoettler, Carl (June 12, 2005) ("Jazz Messenger" ). ''The Baltimore Sun''.〕 He taught himself to play and compose music,〔 and received feedback on his compositions from music students.〔 He graduated in 1992, with a BA in African-American studies.〔
