Lance and Alvin Morse perform during the ‘Rock, Pop and Doo-Wop’ concert at the Baton Rouge River Center Saturday afternoon (June 28, 2008). ADVOCATE STAFF PHOTO BY DENNY CULBERT. The Coasters, featuring Carl Gardner Jr., son of founding member Carl Gardner, hit the stage in cherry-red suits. The senior Gardner retired from performing in 2005 and now acts as the group’s official coach. The Coasters’ current lineup includes tenor vocalist and New Orleans native J.W. Lance, who left the stage to hug his mother in the audience. The high-spirited Coasters stayed true to the group’s classic mix of great vocal ensemble and comedy. After singing several hits (there are too many of them to fit in the allotted time), the guys dragged bass singer Ronnie Bright, who pretended to be fall off the stage drunk at the end of “Charlie Brown.” By JOHN WIRT, Music Critic, Published: June 29, 2008. From 2theAdvocate.com, Louisiana. 2 Those Hoodlum Friends – The R&B Pioneers, Volume Three of twelve THE COASTERS 1959 From "Hound Dog - The Leiber and Stoller Autobiography" (Simon & Schuster, 2009): "Leiber: Lester Sill... took us back to Modern and this time made sure we met the Bihari brothers, who also invited their ace singing group, the Robins, to hear our stuff. We let loose with something we had just written, a different take on the Bible than what I'd studied at Hebrew shool. ..The Robins dug our new creation myth and cut ' That's What The Good Book Says' a month later. It came out in early 1951. …A real record. Our very first, with our names on it, although misspelled. ..Stoller: We had our first record and, believe it or not, within a month we had our second (Jimmy Witherspoon's live recorded 'Real Ugly Woman'; ed.note). ..Stoller: Billy Guy was the comic. He had great timing and loved to play the country yokel. In real life, he was city-sharp and super-hip. Leiber: Carl Gardner,.. had an exquisite tenor voice.. Stoller: a great lead singer ... Dub had one of the great bass voices... Some bass singers have mer volume; but Dub had both resonance and subtlety. He was an artist... In 1958, we developed a new approach to the Coasters' records. A duet lead featuring Carl and Billy." Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller (with David Ritz).

Lance, Carl Gardner Jr, Primotivo Candalera, Ronnie Bright. "Leiber & Stoller reached their early zeniths with the Coasters. They charted twenty-four times with their pet project, which personified the playlets - two-and-a-half-minute musical radio plays. The Coasters were a group of vaudevillians, tummlers, comedians to boot, and comedians receive sustenance in delicatessens. ‘Thay ate white food, pastrami sandwiches, never ribs and cornbread,' says Jerry (Leiber, ed.note). 'In fact, ordering pastrami was the secret of their success'. Fifty years later, the following songs are still on the tip of everyones tounge: 'Charlie Brown', 'Yakety Yak', 'Little Egypt', 'Poison Ivy', 'Along Came Jones', 'Searchin' ', and 'Young Blood'. Even though the brilliant 'Down Home Girl' and 'D.W. Washburn' were covered by the Stones and the Monkees, respectively, it's the lesser-known tracks that are the most fascinating today: 'Shopping for Clothes', 'The Slime', ‘Idol with the Golden Head', 'Run Red Run', 'The Shadow Knows', 'Three Cool Cats', 'Bad Blood', ' Wake Me, Shake Me', 'Down in Mexico', 'Turtle Dovin' ', and 'Soul Pad' ".

Carl Gardner in 1960. 10 Those Hoodlum Friends – The R&B Pioneers, Volume Three of twelve THE COASTERS PRESENTS THOSE HOODLUM FRIENDS THE COASTERS Edited by Claus Röhnisch Introduction During the summer of 2007 Veta Gardner, manager of the Coasters (the first vocal group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame), published the Carl Gardner autobiography “Yakety Yak I Fought Back – My Life with the Coasters” (AuthorHouse). Abreast, fate decided that two CD packages, featuring chronological compiled definitive CDs with the legendary group, would be issued within a span of three to four months - in fact these compilations would turn out to comprise almost all of the total recorded works of the group from 1954 - 1973. I became involved in all three projects - in collaboration with Veta Gardner, with James Ritz, and with Cary Mansfield (two of the most serious and dedicated re-issue producers I have come across). Well – 2007 became a truly great year for the Coasters - more than 50 years after their forming. In late 2008 Veta Gardner announced that Carl Gardner's and the Coasters' story is to become a movie. Shooting will commence within the next 8-10 months, as soon as all the actors and all the people that will be in the show are recruited. The film will be produced by Treasure Coast Films with award winning director Jose Garofalo. According to Charlie Gillett: "The Sound of the City" (1971, 1983), the Coasters occupy the sixth position of rock´n´roll acts with most records in the U.S. Pop Top 10, 1955-59 (one hit record could muster two hit titles - but Gillett counts a double-sided hit as one hit record); only surpassed by Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Rick Nelson, the Everly Brothers, and Pat Boone; and with Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, and Lloyd Price among the ten best scorers (note the difference between a hit record and a hit title). The Coasters are one of only six R&B acts, who during the ´50s scored more than three Pop Top 10 hits (hit titles) - the other five are the Platters, Nat King Cole, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard. In Stuart Colman´s wonderful R´n´R publication "They Kept on Rockin´ - The Giants of Rock ´n´ Roll" (1982), the following legends are presented: Bill Haley (Father of Rock ´n´ Roll), Chuck Berry (Still Motorvatin´), Fats Domino (They Call Me The Fat Man), Jerry Lee Lewis (The Killer Himself), Carl Perkins (King of Rockabilly), Bo Diddley (The Diddley Daddy), Screamin´ Jay Hawkins (Clown Prince of Rock ´n´ Roll), Duane Eddy (The Twang´s the Thang), The Coasters (That is Rock ´n´ Roll), Buddy Holly (Reminiscing), Eddie Cochran (Somethin´ Else), Gene Vincent (The Black Leather Rebel), Johnny and Dorsey Burnette (Rockabilly Boogie Brothers), Elvis Presley (Once a King), Little Richard (Back to the Church), The Everly Brothers (So Bad).

  • Pioneers of the Concept Album
    Fancy Meeting You Here: Pioneers of the Concept Album Todd Decker Abstract: The introduction of the long-playing record in 1948 was the most aesthetically signi½cant tech- nological change in the century of the recorded music disc. The new format challenged record producers and recording artists of the 1950s to group sets of songs into marketable wholes and led to a ½rst generation of concept albums that predate more celebrated examples by rock bands from the 1960s. Two strategies used to unify concept albums in the 1950s stand out. The ½rst brought together performers unlikely to col- laborate in the world of live music making. The second strategy featured well-known singers in song- writer- or performer-centered albums of songs from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s recorded in contemporary musical styles. Recording artists discussed include Fred Astaire, Ella Fitzgerald, and Rosemary Clooney, among others. After setting the speed dial to 33 1/3, many Amer- icans christened their multiple-speed phonographs with the original cast album of Rodgers and Hammer - stein’s South Paci½c (1949) in the new long-playing record (lp) format. The South Paci½c cast album begins in dramatic fashion with the jagged leaps of the show tune “Bali Hai” arranged for the show’s large pit orchestra: suitable fanfare for the revolu- tion in popular music that followed the wide public adoption of the lp. Reportedly selling more than one million copies, the South Paci½c lp helped launch Columbia Records’ innovative new recorded music format, which, along with its longer playing TODD DECKER is an Associate time, also delivered better sound quality than the Professor of Musicology at Wash- 78s that had been the industry standard for the pre- ington University in St.

    AN ANALYSIS OF THE MUSICAL INTERPRETATIONS OF NINA SIMONE by JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH B.M., Kansas State University, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC Department of Music College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Dale Ganz Copyright JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH 2010 Abstract Nina Simone was a prominent jazz musician of the late 1950s and 60s. Beyond her fame as a jazz musician, Nina Simone reached even greater status as a civil rights activist. Her music spoke to the hearts of hundreds of thousands in the black community who were struggling to rise above their status as a second-class citizen. Simone’s powerful anthems were a reminder that change was going to come. Nina Simone’s musical interpretation and approach was very unique because of her background as a classical pianist. Nina’s untrained vocal chops were a perfect blend of rough growl and smooth straight-tone, which provided an unquestionable feeling of heartache to the songs in her repertoire. Simone also had a knack for word painting, and the emotional climax in her songs is absolutely stunning. Nina Simone did not have a typical jazz style. Critics often described her as a “jazz-and-something-else-singer.” She moved effortlessly through genres, including gospel, blues, jazz, folk, classical, and even European classical. Probably her biggest mark, however, was on the genre of protest songs. Simone was one of the most outspoken and influential musicians throughout the civil rights movement. Her music spoke to the hundreds of thousands of African American men and women fighting for their rights during the 1960s.

As with 2016, the year 2017 was a bit on the lean side as far as reviews go of box sets, books and DVDs - it appears tht the days of mass quantities of boxed sets are over - but we do have some to check out.
