from Linda Caliman

Dear friends and family,

I have received so many wonderful cards and emails from you. Thank you so much. I have not been able to respond to most, given the needs of making arrangements, but please know I am so appreciative and will be in touch when things quiet down.

I have an update on the memorial and hope you can pass this on to others as well:

As you already know, it will be at Seattle First Baptist Church, 1111 Harvard Avenue Seattle, 11:00am, Saturday, September 18th. The doors will open at 10:30.

There is a large parking lot next door ($2.00) and several sprinkled throughout the neighborhood.

There will be a gathering afterward, around 2:00pm at Tula’s, 2214 2nd Avenue Seattle. Music will be shared by all that loved Hadley.

I meant to mention before: In lieu of flowers, you may make contributions to the following:

The Hadley Caliman Merit Scholarship Fund at Cornish College of the Arts
1000 Lenora Street, 7th Floor
Seattle, WA 98121

or

The Jazz Foundation of America
“Saving jazz and blues, one musician at a time”

Again, thank you for your outpouring of love and support.
Linda

Hadley Caliman on KMHD

We got word from Lynn Darroch at KMHD (Portland, OR) that he will be playing three cuts from Hadley Caliman during his show today.

They will air at 1:18, 1:24 and 2:04pm today. You can listen online at http://www.kmhd.org or open iTunes, select “Radio / Jazz” and scroll down for KMHD.

from Larry Vuckovich

If you haven¹t already heard, Hadley Caliman, 78, the great tenor saxophonist, colleague and friend of Dexter Gordon, died [Wednesday, September 8,] of liver cancer. He was one of the great jazz musicians, and a kind, gentle person, whom I deeply loved and respected. We were close friends since 1970, when I appeared on his first LP and he used two of my tunes. We reconnected over the years and toured together last year in the Pacific Northwest, the highlight being appearances at the Earshot Jazz Festival in his home area of Seattle and at the Bing Crosby Theater in Spokane. The great trombonist Curtis Fuller, and top Bay Area-based musicians Jeff Chambers and Eddie Marshall, also a longtime friend of Hadley¹s, were with us. Hadley¹s career had enjoyed well-deserved success in the last few years when the Seattle-based recording company Origin released three recordings for him, Gratitude, Reunion and Straight Ahead, the latter hit #2 on the national JazzWeek radio charts. It had been three decade since his last recording.

Last May, the Napa Valley Jazz Society was scheduled to feature him in a Dexter Gordon tribute that I helped organize, when he fell at the last minute and was unable to make the trip to Napa. Dexter Gordon¹s widow, Maxine Gordon, a jazz history scholar who is writing a book on Dexter, was interviewing Hadley about Dexter¹s early days. She had come to the Napa Valley tribute concert to be with Hadley and his most supportive and caring wife Linda Caliman, who accompanied him on many of his tours, particularly in the last two years of his illness.

A deeply fluent post-bop player, Caliman toured/recorded with such international jazz stars as Dexter Gordon, Freddie Hubbard, Gerald Wilson, Elvin Jones, Mongo Santamaria, Joe Pass, Joe Henderson, and Bobby Hutcherson. But his influence extended beyond jazz confines, both from his 1970s work with the likes of Carlos Santana, and his years teaching at Seattle’s Cornish College of the Arts.

My wife Sanna Craig and I already miss him and send our deepest sympathy to his wife Linda and his family and all the others whose lives he touched.

– Larry Vuckovich

Daily News: Jazz great Hadley Caliman dies at age 78

from The Daily News (Southwest Washington area):

In the ’70s, Caliman had a heyday in San Francisco, performing and recording with the Grateful Dead, Santana and pianist Earl Hines.

It was there he met his former wife, Jan Caliman of Cathlamet.

“He was my favorite tenor player in Freddie Hubbard’s band,” Jan Caliman said.

The Calimans settled in Cathlamet prior to the birth of their first son, Roger, in 1982.

“He wanted to raise his kids in the country,” Jan Caliman said. Hadley became an avid gardener, but his wife recalled “he would practice at least eight hours every day.”

Caliman played in Southwest Washington clubs, including at Peter’s in Kelso.
