Джо Венути (Joe Venuti) справедливо считают первым великим джазовым скрипачом и называют «Отцом джазовой скрипки».

Биография

О точной дате рождения Джузеппе «Джо» Венути (Giuseppe “Joe” Venuti) до сих пор ничего не известно. Сам Джо Венути выдавал противоречивую информация о своём детстве, в том числе дате рождения, а также об образовании и воспитании. Поскольку не существует признанных записей и свидетельств о рождении, трудно сказать наверняка, какая информация является правильной.

Джо утверждал, что родился на корабле, когда его родители эмигрировали из Италии примерно в 1904 году, хотя многие считают, что он родился в Филадельфии. Он также утверждал, что он родился 4 апреля 1898 года в Лекко, Италия, или 16 сентября 1903 года в Филадельфии. Позднее он заявлял, что родился в Лекко, Италия в 1896 году, и что он приехал в США в 1906 году и поселился в Филадельфии.

Ещё ребёнком он начал изучать классическую скрипку, плоды этого в дальнейшем хорошо прослеживались в его захватывающей мелодической и ритмической технике. В школе в Филадельфии в 1913 году он встретился с гитаристом Эдди Лангом (Eddie Lang) и они начали играть вместе, сначала играя польки, изобретая вариации, но вскоре перешли на джаз. Это была случайность и награждение партнерства. С 1926 по 33 год Джо и Эдди сделали много записей, в различных небольших группах, став всемирно известными благодаря нестандартной комбинации гитары и скрипки.

В дуэте с Лангом он записал - Stringing The Blues, Black And Blue Bottom, в 1927 - Wild Cat, Sunshine. В 1926 Джо Венути собрал квартет Blue Four, в котором играли Рэд Николз (Red Nichols), Джек Тигарден (Jack Teagarden), Фрэнки Трамбауэр (Frankie Trumbauer), Адриан Роллини (Adrian Rollini), Томми Дорси и Джимми Дорси. В конце 20-х годов работал в оркестре Пола Уайтмена (Paul Whiteman), снимался в кинофильме "Король джаза" (1930). Однако наибольший успех принесли записи с малыми ансамблями, лучшими пластинками стали - Four String Joe, Dinah, The Wild Dog (1933).

Венути работал с Луи Армстронгом (Louis Armstrong), Бенни Гудменом (Benny Goodman), Dorsey Brothers, Бингом Кросби (Bing Crosby), Биксом Байдербеком (Bix Beiderbecke), Фрэнком Синьорелли (Frank Signorelli), Boswell Sisters и многими другими белыми джазменами в конце 1920 и в начале 1930-х годов. Однако, после ранней смерти Ланга в 1933 году, его карьера пошла на убыль, хотя он организовал биг-бэнд, продолжал выступать на протяжении 1930-х годов, записал серию отличных коммерческих танцевальных записей (обычно содержащих соло на скрипке). Джо был под сильным влиянием ранних западных свинговых исполнителей, таких как Сесил Брауэр (Cecil Brower), не говоря уже о том, что Ланг и Венути сами влияли на Джанго Рейнхардта (Django Reinhardt) и Стефана Граппелли (Stephane Grappelli).

После периода относительной безвестности в 1940-х и 1950-х годах (когда он стардал от алкоголизма), Джо Венути играл на скрипке и других инструментах с Джеком Стэтхэмом (Jack Statham) в Desert Inn Hotel в Лас-Вегасе. Стэтхэм возглавил несколько музыкальных групп, которые играли в Desert Inn с конца 1961 до 1965 года, в том числе Dixieland combo. Венути был с ним всё это время, и активно выступал с симфоническим оркестром Лас-Вегаса в 1960-х. Он был «заново открыт» в конце 1960-х годов, когда покончил с алкоголизмом.

В 1970 году Венути завязал музыкальные отношения с тенор-саксофонистом Зутом Симпсом (Zoot Sims), что привело к выпуску трёх альбомов. В 1976 году Джо записал альбом дуэтов Hot Sonatas с пианистом Эрлом Хайнсом (Earl Hines). Он также записал целый альбом с кантри-джазовыми музыкантами, включая исполнителя на мандолине Джетро Бернса (Jethro Burns) – альбом Homer & Jethro, гитаристом Кёрли Чокером (Curly Chalker) и бывшим аккомпаниатором Боба Уиллса (Bob Wills) гитаристом Элдоном Шэмблином (Eldon Shamblin).

В 1970-м у Джо Венути был диагностирован рак. В 70-е годы, будучи смертельно больным, продолжал играть с Бенни Гудменом, Джорджем Барнсом, Эрлом Хайнзом, Чарльзом Мингусом и Артом Блэйки. Он умер 14 августа 1978 года в Сиэтле, штат Вашингтон.

Венути оказал заметное влияние на многих скрипачей свинга и модерн-джаза в США и в Европе. Один из его самых известных европейских последователей - датский скрипач Свенд Асмуссен, создавший вместе с гитаристом Ульриком Нейманном в конце 30-х годов оркестр по образцу олл-стар-бэнда Венути - Ланга. Джо Венути был первым скрипачом-импровизатором, ориентировавшимся на фразировку духовых инструментов. Его записи с Эдди Лэнгом несомненно способствовали рождению союза Джанго Рейнхардта - Стефана Граппелли.

Техника Венути была новаторской, он имел острый, яркий тон, отличные интонации, и легко играл в любой тональности. Он разработал то, что стало известно как техника "скрипка капо", с использованием первого пальца в качестве корневого. Проявил большую изобретательность в области скрипичной исполнительской техники, звукоизвлечения. В частности, реконструировал смычок таким образом, чтобы он мог одновременно охватывать все струны на грифе, и на этой основе разработал оригинальные приемы виртуозного исполнения аккордовых последовательностей, арпеджио, пассажей.
