'''Jean-Baptiste Illinois Jacquet''' (October 30, 1922 – July 22, 2004)<ref name="bare">((cite book| first1= Bob| last1= Eagle| first2= Eric S.| last2= LeBlanc| year= 2013| title= Blues - A Regional Experience| publisher= Praeger Publishers| location= Santa Barbara| pages=380 | isbn= 978-0313344237))</ref> was an American [[jazz]] tenor saxophonist, best remembered for his solo on "[[Flying Home]]", critically recognized as the first [[R&B]] saxophone solo.<ref name="allmusic bio1">((cite web|url=((AllMusic|class=artist|id=p6798/biography|pure_url=yes))|title=Illinois Jacquet|last=Yanow|first=Scott|year=2010|work=All Music biography|publisher=Rovi Corporation|access-date=September 11, 2010))</ref>

Although he was a pioneer of the honking [[tenor saxophone]] that became a regular feature of jazz playing and a hallmark of early [[rock and roll]], Jacquet was a skilled and melodic improviser, both on up-tempo tunes and ballads. He doubled on the [[bassoon]], one of only a few jazz musicians to use the instrument.

==Early life==
Jacquet's parents were [[Creoles of color]], named Marguerite Trahan and Gilbert Jacquet,<ref name="Jean Baptiste Jacquet 1995">The Sons and Daughters of Jean Baptiste Jacquet (1995)</ref> When he was an infant, his family moved from Louisiana to [[Houston, Texas]], and he was raised there as one of six siblings. His father was a part-time bandleader. As a child he performed in his father's band, primarily on the [[alto saxophone]]. His older brother [[Russell Jacquet]] played trumpet and his other brother Linton played drums.<ref name="Swing1">((cite web|url=http://www.swingmusic.net/Illinois_Jacquet_Big_Band_And_Jazz_Legend_Biography.html|title=Illinois Jacquet Jazz at the Philharmonic crowd favorite in the 1940s and 1950s|date=2004–2007|publisher=Swingmusic.net|access-date=September 11, 2010))</ref>

At 15, Jacquet began playing with the [[Milt Larkin|Milton Larkin Orchestra]], a Houston-area dance band.<ref name="Larkin">((cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Virgin Encyclopedia of Popular Music]]|editor=Colin Larkin|editor-link=Colin Larkin (writer)|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|date=1997|edition=Concise|isbn=1-85227-745-9|page=659))</ref> In 1939, he moved to [[Los Angeles, California]], where he met [[Nat King Cole]]. Jacquet would sit in with the trio on occasion. In 1940, Cole introduced Jacquet to [[Lionel Hampton]] who had returned to California and was putting together a big band. Hampton wanted to hire Jacquet, but asked the young Jacquet to switch to [[tenor saxophone]].<ref name="Larkin"/>

==Career==
[[Image:Illinoisjacquet.jpg|thumb|left|Jacquet in 1941]]
In 1942, at age 19, Jacquet soloed on the Hampton Orchestra's recording of "[[Flying Home]]", one of the first times a honking tenor sax was heard on record.<ref name="Larkin"/> The record became a hit. The song immediately became the climax for the live shows and Jacquet became exhausted from having to "bring down the house" every night. The solo was built to weave in and out of the arrangement and continued to be played by every saxophone player who followed Jacquet in the band,<ref name="Larkin"/> including [[Arnett Cobb]] and [[Dexter Gordon]], who achieved almost as much attention as Jacquet in playing it. It is one of the few jazz solos to have been memorized and played very much the same way by everyone who played the song. He left the Hampton band in 1943 and joined [[Cab Calloway]]'s Orchestra.<ref name="Larkin"/> 

Jacquet appeared with Calloway's band in [[Lena Horne]]'s movie ''[[Stormy Weather (1943 film)|Stormy Weather]]'' (1943). In the earlier years of Jacquet's career, his brother Linton Jacquet managed him on the [[Chitlin' Circuit|chitlin circuit]]<ref name="Jean Baptiste Jacquet 1995"/> Linton's daughter, Brenda Jacquet-Ross, sang in jazz venues in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1990s to early 2000s, with a band called the Mondo Players.((cn|date=August 2022))

In 1944, Jacquet returned to California and started a small band with his brother Russell and a young [[Charles Mingus]]. It was at this time that he appeared in the [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]]-nominated short film ''[[Jammin' the Blues]]''<ref name="Larkin"/> with [[Lester Young]].<ref name="Wash" /> He also appeared at the first [[Jazz at the Philharmonic]] concert. In 1946, he moved to New York City, and joined the [[Count Basie]] orchestra,<ref name="Larkin"/> replacing [[Lester Young]].<ref name="Wash" /> 

In 1952, Jacquet co-wrote "Just When We're Falling in Love" (Jacquet (m), [[Charles Thompson (jazz)|Sir Charles Thompson]] (m), [[Bob Russell (songwriter)|S. K. "Bob" Russell]] (l)). Jacquet continued to perform (mostly in Europe) in small groups through the 1960s and 1970s.<ref name="Larkin"/> He led the Illinois Jacquet Big Band from 1981 until his death.

[[File:Illinois Jacquet at Meer Jazz Festival 1998 - 12.jpg|thumb]]
Jacquet became the first jazz musician to be an artist-in-residence at [[Harvard University]], in 1983.<ref name="Wash">Schudel, Matt (July 24, 2004) [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A10566-2004Jul23.html "Saxophonist Illinois Jacquet Dies"]. ''The Washington Post''.</ref> He played "[[C-Jam Blues]]" with President [[Bill Clinton]] on the [[White House]] lawn during Clinton's inaugural ball in 1993. Jacquet's final performance was on July 16, 2004, at the Lincoln Center in New York.<ref name="Wash" />

== Personal life ==
Jacquet was first married to Jacqueline Jacquet.<ref>((Cite journal|date=November 17, 1960|title=New York Beat|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8a4DAAAAMBAJ&q=barbara+jacquet&pg=PA64|journal=Jet|pages=64))</ref>

His marriage to socialite Barbara Jacquet ended in divorce. They had a daughter, Pamela Jacquet Davis.<ref>((Cite journal|date=July 17, 1955|title=Barbara Jacquet, 66, Dies of Lung Cancer In Tucson|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OD0DAAAAMBAJ&q=barbara+jacquet&pg=PA18|journal=Jet|pages=18))</ref><ref>((Cite journal|date=July 7, 1966|title=Dad Dabs Deb|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BLoDAAAAMBAJ&q=barbara+jacquet+model&pg=PA41|journal=Jet|pages=41))</ref>
[[File:Illinois Jacquet gravesite.jpg|thumb|Illinois Jacquet's gravesite at [[Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx|Woodlawn Cemetery]] in [[The Bronx]], New York.]]Jacquet died in the home he shared with his long time partner, Carol Scherick, in [[Queens, New York]], of a heart attack on July 22, 2004. He was 81 years old.<ref name="bare"/> He is interred in [[Woodlawn Cemetery (Bronx)|Woodlawn Cemetery, The Bronx, New York City]].

==Influence==
His solos of the early and mid-1940s and his performances at the Jazz at the Philharmonic concert series, influenced [[rhythm and blues]] and [[rock and roll]] saxophone style, but also continue to be heard in jazz. His honking and screeching emphasized the lower and higher registers of the tenor saxophone. Despite a superficial rawness, the style is  heard in jazz players like [[Arnett Cobb]], who also became known for playing "Flying Home" with Hampton, as well as [[Sonny Rollins]], [[Eddie Lockjaw Davis|Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis]] and [[Jimmy Forrest (musician)|Jimmy Forrest]].((citation needed|date=January 2023))

==Activism==
Jacquet pushed back against [[Jim Crow]] laws in Houston. After booking his band to play at the [[Rice Hotel]], he protested against management's rule that African Americans should enter the premises through an alley door. He issued an ultimatum: either allow his all-black orchestra to access the hotel through the main entrance or he would cancel the engagement. The Rice Hotel agreed to suspend the Jim Crow rule for Jacquet's band.<ref name=l'heureux>((cite journal|author=L'Heureux, Aimee|title=Illinois Jacquet: Integrating Houston Jazz Audiences . . . Lands Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie in Jail|journal=Houston History|volume=8|issue=1|url=http://houstonhistorymagazine.org/pdfs/v8n1.pdf|page=6((endash))8|year=2010|access-date=May 9, 2018))</ref>

After leaving Houston to tour the United States and several other countries, Jacquet contemplated the manner in which he would return:<ref name=l'heureux/>

((quote|text=I love Houston, Texas. . . . This is where I went to school. This is where I learned everything I know. I was just fed up with coming to Houston with a mixed cast on stage and playing to a segregated audience. I wanted Houston to see a hell of a concert, and they should see it like they were in Carnegie Hall. I felt if I didn’t do anything about the segregation in my hometown, I would regret it. This was the time to do it. Segregation had to come to an end.))

Jazz producer [[Norman Granz]], who had been a social activist himself, made arrangements for the star-studded Philharmonic band to play an engagement at Houston's Music Hall on October 5, 1955. Jacquet played saxophone, accompanying [[Ella Fitzgerald]], [[Dizzy Gillespie]], [[Oscar Peterson]], and [[Buddy Rich]]. Granz and Jacquet collaborated to eliminate Jim Crow customs from the event. There were no advanced sales of tickets, while Granz removed all of the "white" and "black" signs which indicated segregated facilities within the venue and hired some off-duty Houston police officers for security. The band played before a non-segregated audience, though not completely free of trouble. Despite Granz's precaution, five officers of the Houston Vice Squad stormed Ella Fitzgerald's dressing room with firearms drawn. Jacquet and Gillespie were playing dice games, which the Vice Squad used as a pretext for arresting Jacquet, Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald and her assistant. This was a performance within a performance, however, as the quartet was whisked to the police station, where there were waiting photographers. After paying their fines, they all returned to the Music Hall where the band played the second set with the audience none the wiser.<ref name=l'heureux/>

==Memorial==

In 2008, The Chapel of the Sisters in [[Prospect Cemetery (Queens)|Prospect Cemetery]] was restored and re-dedicated as the [[Prospect Cemetery (Queens)|Illinois Jacquet Performance Space]] on the grounds of [[York College, City University of New York|York College]] in [[Jamaica, Queens]].
