Anthony Sebastian "Tony" Campise (January 22, 1943 – March 7, 2010)〔(obituary at ''Austin360.com'' )〕 was an American jazz musician. He primarily played tenor saxophone and flute though he doubled on clarinet and oboe (Multireedist). He was known for his exceptional technique and fluid style on all reed instruments; Campise is most recognized for his association with the Stan Kenton Orchestra in the mid-1970s. == Musical education, style, and first work in Houston == Campise was born and raised in Houston, Texas and early on had studied with Hal Tennyson at the age of 13 on alto sax and clarinet. He also studied with the famed Woody Herman jazz sideman Jerry Coker learning improvisation when he was 18, Campise also studied briefly with Lee Konitz. He studied flute and oboe extensively with Byron and Barbara Hester in the 1960s; most notably he studied flute with Julius Baker in New York during the late 1960s in hopes of becoming a classical flutist. His formal musical education came in his college years while attending Sam Houston State University, the University of Houston, Houston Baptist College, and Monterey Peninsula College during the late 1960s and early 1970s.〔Feather, Leonard. Gitler, Ira. ''The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz'' Oxford University Press. Entry for Tony Campise〕 Campise's saxophone style was eloquent, warm, and personal on ballads while muscular on up tempo jazz pieces (and sometimes quite frenetic);〔Sparke, Michael. (2010) "Stan Kenton: This Is an Orchestra!" University of North Texas Press. pp. 263.〕 he was a devotee of the "Texas Tenor" jazz styles of Arnett Cobb and Illinois Jacquet.〔Koster, Rick. ''Texas Music'' (1998) pub. Macmillan. pp.327〕〔Cooper, Dr. Jack. (Director of Jazz Studies, University of Memphis). As a saxophonist and arranger; played with, wrote for, and interviewed Tony Campise while living in Austin, Texas 1995–1998〕 The more modern and Avante Garde influence he demonstrates on the recordings with Stan Kenton show how influenced he was by saxophonist Eric Dolphy.〔Dicaire, David. ''Jazz Musicians, 1945 to the Present''. (2006) McFarland & Comp. pp. 157〕 He was a native of Houston, Texas and developed a musical style and career there〔Texas Monthly Magazine, December 1981. Pub. Emmis Communications. pp. 88〕 but eventually settled to Austin, Texas in 1984. The influences Campise most closely attributed his own style to are jazz artists Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Lennie Tristano, and Eric Dolphy.〔 His first notable work as a saxophonist was in Houston working with Don Cannon (1962–65), Paul Schmitt (1967–71), the Gulf Coast Jazz Giants (1970–73) and working with the Houston Musical Theatre as a woodwind doubler for three seasons.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tony Campise」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
