Henry Threadgill (born February 15, 1944, in Chicago, Illinois) is an American composer, saxophonist and flutist. Threadgill came to prominence in the 1970s leading ensembles with unusual instrumentation and often incorporating a range of non-jazz genres. Henry Threadgill, aside from being a remarkable alto saxophone player, is one of the most imaginative of jazz composers today. Not long ago Peter Watrous of the New York Times described Threadgill as "perhaps the most important jazz composer of his generation." Recent concerts in Chicago have led the local critics to speak of him as a revolutionary figure, altering the manner in which jazz itself is going. Said Howard Reich, jazz critic of the Chicago Tribune, "It would be difficult to overestimate Henry Threagill's role in perpetually altering the meaning of jazz.....He has changed our underlying assumptions of what jazz can and should be."' - An excerpt from a chapter on Henry Threadgill from And They All Sang (published 2005) by late Pulitzer winning author and disc jockey Studs Terkel -- a book about "forty of the greatest and most deeply human musical figures of our time.". + Informações
