ON TGJN'S MAIN STAGE ~ DEATH OF A BEBOP WIFE by Grange "Lady Haig" Rutan Published by Cadence Jazz Books, Redwood NY
PASSIONATE
JOURNALISTIC
GRIPPING"Death of a BeBop Wife"
By Grange (Lady Haig) Rutan
Published by Cadence Jazz Books, Redwood NY
A review by R Mayfield PhillipsIn a noteworthy book, part jazz history, part mystery, part autobiographical; the tragedy of an innocent’s (Bonnie Gallagher Haig) loss of life is portrayed in a style that informs, while astonishing the reader at the depth and breadth of its historical content. For jazz buffs, readers will find an intimate look into a somewhat disregarded period where jazz as bebop influenced a large segment of urban culture. The author gives us a first hand glimpse of such notables as Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and the central figure, Al Haig. The author, once briefly married to Haig (and also victimized), is able to delve underneath the pleasing artistry of pianist Haig, and reveal a darker character with shadows of misogamy. The ultimate victim’s powerlessness at the hands of Haig reminds one of Charles Baudelaire’s observations in "Flowers of Evil"
The Devil holds the string which moves us,
In repugnant things we discover charms:
Everyday we descend a step further toward Hell,
Without horror, through gloom that stinks.
By today’s standards and given current society’s awareness and prosecution of domestic abuse, Bonnie Haig’s death, the bumbling police work, and flawed legal proceedings (Haig is freed) seem to be hopelessly disconnected to the perceived tranquility and competency to be found in an affluent New York City suburb. Furthermore family members sounded alarm bells that went unheeded: Robert Rutan (father of Grange) found Haig "weird" and stated "He never bought it." Maggi Gallagher (Bonnie’s mother) called Haig "sick, sick, sick" acknowledged being "scared to death" and revealed that "Al had beaten up my beautiful daughter."
What was it about that society that provided an alibi for the deviate behavior of certain artists and musicians? The book provides rather graphic insights of parallel cultures with differing standards living side by side. The author has been courageous in providing detail usually only available in a diary to insure credibility and objectivity. While she digs into the past "for both of us" the objective readers’ emotions move from sympathy to anger given Haig’s actions and final freedom. As Walter Benjamin stated in his "Thesis on the Philosophy of History."
The tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the
‘state of emergency’ in which we live is not the exception,
but the rule.
The author’s unique narrative style is at times from the perspective of an observer-participant dialectic (reminding us of Baudelaire’s flaneur), occasionally as the narrator, but always passionate and intimate journalist who spares no detail or observation as a result of her investigative prowess. The book is written in composition that juxtaposes time events in a non-linear arrangement constantly surprising and pleasing the reader. It is conversation which reaches backward then forward with flashes of anecdotes that charm and reinforce the passion of the author Whether it is the music historian, mystery lover, or biography buff, "BeBop Wife" is a story as unique as its author.
Pianist Gerald Wiggins Dies at 86
Written By: Jeff Tamarkin
Gerald Wiggins, 86, a pianist who led a Los Angeles-based trio, and whose credits included work with Louis Armstrong, Benny Carter, Lou Rawls, Jimmy Witherspoon, Eartha Kitt, Roy Eldridge, Zoot Sims, Lena Horne, Helen Humes, Ella Mae Morse, Kay Starr, Joe Williams and Nat “King” Cole, died July 13 in Los Angeles. The cause was not reported but Wiggins was known to have been in poor health.
Wiggins, who also served as a vocal coach for Marilyn Monroe and who began his career as accompanist for the actor Stepin Fetchit, was born in New York City on May 12, 1922. He first studied classical piano but became interested in jazz while in his teens, after hearing a recording by pianist Art Tatum.
Wiggins joined the big band of Les Hite in 1942 and played with Armstrong and Carter before entering the Army in 1944 for two years. Upon his release he settled in L.A. and became an active accompanist, also launching his own trio. Often called “The Wig,” Wiggins, beginning in 1953, recorded numerous albums as a leader for such labels as Swing, Vogue, Hi-Fi, Discovery, Dig, Challenge, Contemporary and Concord.
