Timeline

1913

Harry Lookofsky (1 October 1913 – 8 June 1998) was an American jazz violinist.

He was also the father of keyboardist-songwriter Michael Brown, who most notably was a founding member of the Left Banke and Stories.

Harry Lookofsky was born in Paducah, Kentucky, in 1913 and studied classical violin in St. Louis where he joined the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in the mid-1930s.

An early admirer of Joe Venuti, Lookofsky eventually became recognized as one of the earliest accomplished bebop jazz violinists.

1938

Following his departure from St. Louis in 1938, Lookofsky joined the NBC Symphony Orchestra under Arturo Toscanini for a time while continuing to play jazz on the side.

1954

He continued his career as a classical symphony violinist later as concertmaster at ABC following Toscanini's retirement in 1954.

Stringsville was Lookofsky's one major feature release.

Aside from his classical and studio recording work, he was more often a contributing artist and/or arranger on other's albums.

Over the years, his many jazz collaborators included Quincy Jones, Jaco Pastorius, Sarah Vaughan, George Benson, and Freddie Hubbard.

Lookofsky co-produced the pop hit, "Walk Away Renée", by the Left Banke, which was co-written by his son, Michael Brown, a founding member of the group.

The arrangement was heavily influenced by classical music.

Lookofsky also played strings on songs recorded by Stories, his son Michael's later band.

Lookofsky's archives are held at the American Roots Program at Berklee School of Music in Boston.

1959

His technique became particularly recognized on his album Stringsville (1959, Atlantic).

Lookofsky was one of many early jazz violinists who occasionally played tenor violin, an instrument he cited for its similar tonal qualities to the tenor saxophone.

Another relatively unknown unique characteristic about Lookofsky's playing is that the bebop solos on Stringsville were completely written out and arranged as opposed to improvised as most jazz musicians do.

An accomplished studio musician, Lookofsky also experimented heavily with multitrack recording in order to produce a unique sound with several overlaid violin tracks meant to imitate the sound of a horn section in a big band orchestra.
