The official website of the late alto saxophonist Noah Howard reproduces a wealth of material from his personal archives: handbills, photographs, clippings, and more. In all, probably more than 300 documents. Navigating the archive section is a bit like going through roughly sorted folders in a physical archive. The material is approximately divided by decades, but it is not labeled in a detailed manner. Figuring out precisely where things fit requires a bit a legwork, but it worth the effort, as the few documents shared below, which I have dated more precisely when needed, should demonstrate. A separate section of the Howard website is devoted to additional pictures.
The date of the Barrel gig comes from my article “The Jazz Workshop/L’Atelier de jazz (1966–1968).” For information on Group 212, see Eremites Records’s Juma Sultan Father of Origin box set. On Artist House, see “‘Ornette at Prince Street’: A Glimpse from the Archives.” On the Forum des Halles concerts, see promoter Gérard Terronès’s second BNF interview, track 6 (in French).
And by the way: two notable mid-1970s Noah Howard FMP albums, Berlin Concert and Schizophrenic Blues, have just been reissued by Cien Fuegos.
