Attila Zoller 6/13/27–1/25/98

Like 20th-century classical composer Béla Bartók, Hungarian guitarist Attila Zoller incorporated his country’s folk melodies into his completely contemporary work.

Zoller, who moved to the U.S. in 1959, was a gymnast in his youth and almost made the Hungarian Olympic swim team. After an upbringing in classical music playing violin and trumpet, Zoller taught himself guitar because there were too many trumpet players in Budapest to make a decent living. Pianist Don Friedman, Zoller’s friend and collaborator, says the guitarist told him that at first he tuned the instrument completely wrong. After figuring out the correct tuning, Zoller had to relearn everything he’d taught himself.

His consuming desire to not play like other guitarists is evident in the quartet Zoller co-led with Friedman in the mid-to-late 1960s. The group is one of the most accessible in the original free-jazz movement in part because of Zoller’s interest in unusual melodies rooted in his Hungarian upbringing. Friedman says the guitarist took the part of a horn, or a Gypsy violin, in the quartet. The band’s approach combined composition and free improvisation, and can be best heard on Friedman’s Dreams and Explorations (Riverside/OJC, 1964) and Metamorphosis (Riverside/OJC, 1966).

Friedman says Zoller would sketch out pieces with some melody and counterpoint lines but with no real harmony or chord changes. The guitarist would give the sketches evocative titles like “Blizzard” and tell the other players to use that as inspiration for their improvisations. Friedman says many players, including Pat Metheny, have told him how much they listened to the group’s records and how much they inspired them.

Zoller was not only interested in pushing his instrument’s expressive possibilities, but also in overcoming its technical limitations. In 1971, he was granted a patent for a bidirectional pickup for guitar and bass. He invented a pickup for the vibraharp that was manufactured and sold by the J.C. Deagan Company, and he developed bass strings for LaBella. While he was inventing and teaching, Zoller cut the occasional album; highlights include the Enja discs Memories of Pannonia (1986) and his last album, When It’s Time (1995).

Though he could be mercurial, the big and intimidating man could also be playful: he used to walk the bar at NYC’s old Half Note—on his hands. Zoller also wanted to share his musical interests with others. In 1972, he moved to Vermont, where he started a jazz camp on an old property that he renovated largely by himself. Financial difficulties forced him to sell off much of the property and he spent his last years living in a fixed-up shack on the land he still owned. His Vermont Jazz left remains today, a testament to his legacy.
