    Part 2 of Selected Discography Milt Hinton Solos Compiled by Ed Berger (1949-2017) - Librarian, journalist, music producer, photographer, historian, and former Associate Director, Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University. This is a chronological list of representative solos by Hinton as a sideman in a variety of settings throughout his career. Although not definitive, Milt was such a consistent soloist that one could cite many other equally accomplished performances. In some cases, particularly from the 1930s when bass solos were relatively rare, the recordings listed contain prominent bass accompaniment.

    Stéphane Grappelli – a Life in the Jazz Century“

    Anmerkungen zu „Stéphane Grappelli – A Life in the Jazz Century“ DVD 2002 Regisseur: Paul Palmer Mitwirkende: Stéphane Grappelli, Django Reinhardt, Yehudi Menuhin, Nigel Kennedy, Martin Taylor, George Shearing, Joe Venuti, Eddie Lang, The Paul Whiteman Orchestra, Diz Disley, John Etheridge, Bing Crosby and the Rhythm Boys, Gregor et ses Gregoriens, Lew Grade, Michael Parkinson, Duke Ellington, Art Tatum Vorbemerkungen: Stéphane Grappelli (* 1908 in Paris; † 1997 in Paris) war ein französischer Jazz- Violinist. Er gilt als einer der besten Jazzgeiger in der Geschichte des Jazz. Paul Palmer - ein englischer Journalist, Drehbuchschreiber und Dokumentarfilmer – traf 1996 den Geiger zu einem Gespräch. Das Interview mit Grappelli in der Rue de Dunkerque 87 in Paris, seiner letzten Wohnung, war die Basis für die DVD. DVD-Cover 1 Paul Palmer & Stéphane Grappelli 1996 Filminhalt: Die DVD beginnt mit der Swing-Nummer „Night and Day“ mit Stéphane Grappelli (Violine), Martin Taylor (Gitarre), Louis Stewart (Gitarre) und Jack Sewing (Bass). Vermutlich stammt die Aufnahme aus dem Grand Opera House 1986 in Belfast. 2 Martin Taylor, Stéphane Grappelli, Jack Sewing, Louis Stewart 1986 Belfast Aus den Zeitperioden 1920 – 1990 laufen dann Fotos ab, die den musikalischen Werdegang des Geigers und seine Kooperation mit vielen Musikgrößen beschreibt. Grappelli wurde im Hôpital Lariboisière (damals Armenhospital) 1908 in Paris als Sohn eines italienischen Einwanderers und einer Französin geboren und auf den Namen Stefano getauft. Er verlor seine Mutter im Alter von vier Jahren. Da sein Vater 1914 zur italienischen Armee eingezogen wurde, musste sich sein Vater überlegen, wo er seinen sechsjährigen Jungen unterbringen konnte. Stefano fand zunächst Unterschlupf bei einer Tanzpädagogin, die Kinder unterrichtete.

This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

WEA’S ROOTS DATE BACK TO THE FOUNDING OF WARNER BROS. RECORDS IN 1958 AS A DIVISION OF WARNER BROS. PICTURES. IN 1963, WARNER BROS. RECORDS PURCHASED FRANK SINATRA’S REPRISE RECORDS. AFTER WARNER BROS. WAS SOLD TO SEVEN ARTS PRODUCTIONS IN 1967 (FORMING WARNER BROS.-SEVEN ARTS), IT PURCHASED ATLANTIC RECORDS AS WELL AS ITS SUBSIDIARY ATCO RECORDS. IN 1969, THE WARNER BROS.-SEVEN ARTS COMPANY WAS SOLD TO THE KINNEY NATIONAL COMPANY. KINNEY MUSIC INTERNATIONAL (LATER CHANGING ITS NAME TO WARNER COMMUNICATIONS) COMBINED THE OPERATIONS OF ALL OF ITS RECORD LABELS, AND KINNEY CEO STEVE ROSS LED THE GROUP THROUGH ITS MOST SUCCESSFUL PERIOD, UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1994.

    Trad Jazz in 1950S Britain—Protest, Pleasure, Politics— Interviews with Some of Those Involved

    Trad jazz in 1950s Britain—protest, pleasure, politics— interviews with some of those involved George McKay These are transcriptions of interviews and correspondence undertaken as part of an Arts and Humanities Research Board (now Council)-funded project exploring the cultures and politics of traditional jazz in Britain in the 1950s. The project ran through 2001-2002 and was entitled American Pleasures, Anti- American Protest: 1950s Traditional Jazz in Britain. I edited responses, and structured them here according to the main issues I asked about and to key points that seemed to recur from different interviewees. There is a short-ish introduction to give a sense of context to readers unfamiliar with that period of Britain’s cultural history. I hugely enjoyed meeting and talking with these people, whose cultural and political autobiographies were full of energy, rebellion, fun, with music at the heart. Thank you. Some—Jeff Nuttall, George Melly—are, sadly, now dead. Material from these interviews, and a second set I undertook with modern jazzers and enthusiasts (I acknowledge that the distinction between trad and modern doesn’t always bear scrutiny) was included in my book Circular Breathing: The Cultural Politics of Jazz in Britain (Duke University Press, 2005). Do contact me if you have any queries.
