This way we can keep you updated on new releases and artist information as well as in-depth articles and historical information related to the artists and recordings. news at GHB JAZZ FOUNDATion We are continuing our efforts to make as much as possible all of our recordings available to jazz fans world wide. There is still plenty of unissued material in our vaults and we are also making a few select new recordings of today’s jazz artists. Most of our CDs can now be purchased as digital downloads through iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and other online outlets. This includes, as you can see listed in this newsletter, some recordings that we have not issued as CDs. Our featured artist this time is Alcide ‘Slow Drag’ Pavageau, New Orleans bass player and veteran of Bunk Johnson and George Lewis bands. Slow Drag’s Half- Fast Jazz Band is the only recording issued under his own name. It’s an exciting session recorded in 1965 and features a top-notch New Orleans jazz band. From the Famous Door and Progressive catalogs we have four CD releases of well-known artists in the mainstream/bebop type of jazz - Walter Norris, Chuck Wayne, Billy Hart and George Masso. All terrific performers. Previously issued as an LP on our Audiophile label we now have a CD release of Carol Sloane doing an album of Duke Ellington songs. Recorded in Japan with a superb trio - Sir Roland Hanna, George Mraz and Richie Pratt - it really showcases her vocal talents. We have combined two long out of print GHB LPs onto one CD featuring Wendell Brunious & Louis Nelson together with a great cast of supporting jazz players. Finally, on our Solo Art label, we are releasing a brand new recording of piano maestro Kris Tokarski, a young musician who is very active on the New Orleans jazz scene – it also features trio tracks with Hal Smith and Cassidy Holden. 3 ALCIDE ‘SLOW DRAG’ PAVAGEAU DRAG’S HALF FAST JAZZ BAND GHB RECORDS BCD-54 PRICE: $15.98 MEMBERS: $13.00 Bassist Alcide “Slow Drag” Pavageau anchored one of New Orleans’ best rhythm sections during the glory days of the George Lewis band. He was basically self-taught, but his playing was within the lineage of New Orleans’ pioneer bass players. This session was recorded in 1965, when producer Bill Bissonnette was in New Orleans to record the in from Florida and Bissonnette decided to do anotherJazzology album Poll-Winners with some LP; ofDon the Ewell same had players. flown The set is a combination of New Orleans originals- Albert Burbank, Big Jim Robinson, George Guesnon PERSONNEL: and Slow Drag, with two youngsters, Bissonnette and Fred Vigorito. Fred Vigorito Cornet Kid Thomas * Trumpet It’s amazing how easy it was to produce a record Jim Robinson Trombone in those days – Alan Jaffe let them record at Preservation Hall, and even bought a new piano Albert Burbank Clarinet for the occasion; there was plenty of talent- the George Lewis * Clarinet four veterans in this group were at the top of their George Guesnon Banjo form, and Ewell provides perfect support, relying Emmanuel Sayles * Banjo, Voc more on solid ensemble playing than a display of Don Ewell Piano his prodigious facility. Alcide ‘Slow Drag’ Pavageau Bass By the time this session was recorded, producers Bill Bissonnette Drums were leery of recording the same numbers over Sammy Penn * Drums and over, and Brahms’ Cradle Song, was certainly not overworked as a New Orleans vehicle. There’s TRACK LISTING: a nice version of Climax Rag, Burbank’s favorite number, and Creole Song, from the Kid Ory book, Move The Body Over is given a tremendous ride. It’s wonderful to have Struttin’ With Some Barbecue these sides back in print- I bought the album when it came out and played it a lot more than many Little Brown Jug others from the same era. I Can’t Escape From You Slowly The set was extended to CD length with three I Can’t Escape From You Swiftly numbers from the George Lewis-Kid Thomas Brahms’ Cradle Song Ragtime Stompers session, which also features Creole Song Slow Drag and Big Jim with Kid Thomas showing us where Fred Vigorito’s trumpet style came from. Stack-O-Lee Blues These sides were issued long ago on a limited- Climax Rag edition LP and have been out of print for at least Bucket’s Got A Hole In It * a generation.

I have with me today Mr. Chick Finney and Mr. Martin L. MacKay who have agreed to make a tape recording with me for our Oral History Section. They are musicians from St. Louis of long standing and we are going to talk today about their early lives and also about their experiences on the music scene in St. Louis. CORTINOVIS: First, I'll ask you a few questions, gentlemen. Did you ever play on any of the Mississippi riverboats, the J.S, The St. Paul or the President? FINNEY: I never did play on any of those name boats, any of those that you just named, Mrs. Cortinovis, but I was a member of the St. Louis Crackerjacks and we played on kind of an unknown boat that went down the river to Cincinnati and parts of Kentucky. But I just can't think of the name of the boat, because it was a small boat. Do you need the name of the boat? CORTINOVIS: No. I don't need the name of the boat. FINNEY: Mrs. Cortinovis, this is Martin McKay who is a name drummer who played with all the big bands from Count Basie to Duke Ellington.

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. 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”.
