    NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS/NOSTALGIA CATALOGUE WELCOME TO NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS AND NAXOS NOSTALGIA, twin compendiums presenting the best in vintage popular music. Following in the footsteps of Naxos Historical, with its wealth of classical recordings from the golden age of the gramophone, these two upbeat labels put the stars of yesteryear back into the spotlight through glorious new restorations that capture their true essence as never before. NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS documents the most vibrant period in the history of jazz, from the swinging ’20s to the innovative ’40s. Boasting a formidable roster of artists who forever changed the face of jazz, Naxos Jazz Legends focuses on the true giants of jazz, from the fathers of the early styles, to the queens of jazz vocalists and the great innovators of the 1940s and 1950s. NAXOS NOSTALGIA presents a similarly stunning line-up of all-time greats from the golden age of popular entertainment. Featuring the biggest stars of stage and screen performing some of the best- loved hits from the first half of the 20th century, this is a real treasure trove for fans to explore. RESTORING THE STARS OF THE PAST TO THEIR FORMER GLORY, by transforming old 78 rpm recordings into bright-sounding CDs, is an intricate task performed for Naxos by leading specialist producer-engineers using state-of-the-art-equipment. With vast personal collections at their disposal, as well as access to private and institutional libraries, they ensure that only the best available resources are used. The records are first cleaned using special equipment, carefully centred on a heavy-duty turntable, checked for the correct playing speed (often not 78 rpm), then played with the appropriate size of precision stylus.

In this semi-theatrical presentation on 59th Street, one can sense the timeline of jazz history being similarly bent around corners as two of the youngest pro musicians around (fairly recent Juilliard grads) celebrate their ideological forebears: Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, the legendary brothers who dominated much of jazz and pop in the key years of the American experience, both individually and as a team. Even with a mere six musicians (most importantly, the remarkable trumpeter Jon-Erik Kellso) and no trombone or vocalists, saxophonists Pete and Will Anderson not only guide us through the personal and musical high points of the Dorseys' careers, but establish them as gargantuan heroes of a long-departed, almost mythical era, when the ability to play an instrument better than anyone else could make you king of the whole world.

    Glenn Miller Archives TOMMY DORSEY 1 9 3 5 Prepared by: DENNIS M. SPRAGG Chronology Part 1 - Chapter 1 Updated February 5, 2021 “I’ll Never Say Never Again” “The Brothers” Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey The Dorsey Brothers’ Orchestra opened at the Glen Island Casino, New Rochelle, New York on May 15, 1935. Many celebrities attended the successful opening night and the band was in top form. All signs pointed to a successful summer season and further sales of more records. In addition, the Glen Island Casino was wired for numerous nationwide radio broadcasts. However, an undercurrent of tension existed between the brothers. May 30, 1935, during the Decoration Day holiday weekend (now known as Memorial Day), the situation came to a head. As Tommy led the band into the tune “I’ll Never Say “Never Again” Again”, the vocal trio of Roc Hillman, Skeets Herfurt and Don Matteson were approaching the microphone. They remembered hearing Jimmy say something like “Hey, Mac, that’s a little fast, isn’t it?” Tommy reportedly replied, “You want to take over? It’s all yours” and he walked off the bandstand before the audience at the Glen Island Casino. By late July Tommy reluctantly returned to finish the engagement with Jimmy and the band at the urging of Tommy Rockwell and a threat by Michael DeZutter, owner of the Glen Island Casino, to nullify the Dorsey Brothers’ Orchestra contract for the remainder of the engagement. Cork O’Keefe unsuccessfully tried to reconcile the brothers. Tommy refused to work with his brother and the Dorsey Brothers’ Orchestra became Jimmy Dorsey and his Orchestra.

  • A Portrait of Glenn Miller
    A PORTRAIT OF GLENN MILLER Alton Glenn Miller (1904-1944) Produced by: DENNIS M. SPRAGG Updated April 2018 1 Alton Glenn Miller, 1904-1944 Produced by Dennis M. Spragg, with commentary from the GMA George T. Simon (1912-2001) Collection and Papers, Edward F. Polic Papers and Christopher Way Collection. Foreword By Harry Lillis “Bing” Crosby (1904-1977) “As the years go by, I am increasingly grateful that I was a tiny part of the era of the great swing bands. This was the golden age of popular music for me. They were all great, but I have to think that the Glenn Miller band was the greatest. Unlike so many of the others, Glenn was not a virtuoso instrumental soloist. And so instead of his horn he did it with great personnel and innovative harmonic experiments producing a sound that was his and his alone. Glenn employed a harmonization that was new and vastly different. If I even attempted a description of what he did, I would be immediately adrift. I think it was the way he voiced his instruments. It was just beautiful. And when you heard the sound, it was recognizable and memorable. It was just Glenn Miller. Glenn as a person was just as memorable. He was a very good personal friend, from the early days on, ever since he performed on some of the records I made with the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra during the early stages of my career. During World War II we were united for the last time, when I sang in London with his great AAF Orchestra.

  • A Portrait of Tommy Dorsey
    A PORTRAIT OF TOMMY DORSEY Prepared by Dennis M. Spragg Glenn Miller Archive Updated April 21, 2015 1 THE TALENTED AND TEMPERAMENTAL TD Although he celebrated his birthday as November 19, 1905, according to Schuylkill County records, Thomas Francis “Tommy” Dorsey, Jr. was born November 27, 1905 in Mahanoy Plane, a small town outside Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, the second son of Thomas Francis “Pop” Dorsey (born 1872) and Theresa “Tess” Langton (married 1901), Americans of Irish ancestry. Their firstborn son was James Francis “Jimmy” Dorsey, born February 29, 1904. The Dorsey couple bore two additional offspring, Mary, born 1907 and Edward, born 1911. Edward only lived to the age of three. Shenandoah was located in the heart of Pennsylvania coal country. Coal miner Pop Dorsey was once quoted as saying; “I would do anything to keep my sons out of the mines”. The Dorsey parents were interested in music and musically inclined. They saw music as a path for their sons to escape what they considered the “dead-end” future of coal mining. Pop and Tess Dorsey instilled a love of music in their sons. The father favored the cornet as an instrument and his sons fought over who would play it better. Ultimately, Jimmy Dorsey would gravitate to reed instruments and Tommy Dorsey to brass instruments. As children, the sons played in local parades and concerts. As they grew into adolescence, the brothers took nonmusical jobs to supplement the Dorsey family income. Young Tommy worked as a delivery boy. In 1920, the family moved to Lansford, Pennsylvania, where Pop Dorsey became leader of the municipal band and a music teacher.

But then, the Miller Estate Orchestra had been in existence far longer than the original, playing to sell-out audiences. The Julia Rich involvement dates to 1985 when Dick Gerhart was leading the band. (The current leader, Larry O’Brien, was interviewed here in the March-April, 1996 issue.) Mentioned in the interview is Ms. Rich’s independent performances with a small group and her song writing. Even though the Miller Band is on the road 48 weeks a Julia Rich at work in serious mode year, she somehow finds time to occasionally sing as a solo act in Nashville or in Chattanooga. As a single, as my dad says, “It’s my first love.” she’s issued albums featuring her own work and classic standards. BBJ: You were a school teacher for a while. The Scene JR: I taught school for a little over ten years.
