Howard Reich has been an arts critic and writer with the Chicago Tribune since 1983. He is the author of three books: I>The First and Final Nightmare of Sonia Reich: A Son’s Memoir (2006); Jelly’s Blues: The Life, Music, and Redemption of Jelly Roll Morton (2003), which was written with William Gaines; and Van Cliburn (1993). His latest book is Let Freedom Swing, a collection of his writing from the Tribune, as well as a few articles from DownBeat.

Reich discussed with JT his most recent book and his long career as a jazz critic.

What was the first piece you wrote about music or jazz?

I’ll never forget it: In 1975, I reviewed a double-bill of Tony Bennett and Lena Horne at Orchestra Hall in Chicago. Kind of hard to top that. The piece was not for publication but for an Independent Study I was doing at Northwestern University with Thomas Willis, who was then a faculty member at NU’s School of Music-and music critic for the Chicago Tribune.

Did you have any formal training in journalism or even music journalism?

Virtually none in journalism, except for that

Biography

[edit]

Compay (meaning compadre) Segundo, so called because he was always second voice in his musical partnerships, was born in Siboney, Cuba, and moved to Santiago de Cuba at the age of nine. His first engagement was in the Municipal Band of Santiago de Cuba, directed by his teacher, Enrique Bueno. In 1934, after a spell in a quintet, he moved to Havana, where he also played the clarinet in CI the Municipal Band. He also learned to play the guitar and the tres, which became his usual instruments. Compay Segundo also invented the armónico, a seven-stringed guitar-like instrument, to fill the harmonic jump between the Spanish guitar and the tres.^[1
