Don Redman’s name has become identified with a particular style of arranging and composition that has its roots deep in the formative era of big band jazz. The Redman stamp is unmis- takable, for the music is vibrant, imaginative, tightknit and impulsive. He is a master of orchestral color, mass sound and contrasting moods. Coleman Hawkins, 'The Hawk' or 'The Bean', as he is affectionately known in the trade, has been the guiding light in the liberation of the tenor saxophone. He pioneered and developed the solo rhapsodic style and solo jump style, now regarded as milestones in broadening the scope of the instrument. The soaring drive of the Coleman Hawkins tenor consumes a roadful of musical mileage in the jump opener that makes the scene of the Last Night In Town. Then, the road leads To The River,a perceptive spiritual-in-jazz jog tactfully arranged by Don and featuring a guitar-vibes unison. In Ballad 'n' Bounce, which follows, the orchestra responds with a matchless swing production headed by Al Cohn’s tenor and assisted by Hank Jones at the piano, Al Hall behind the bass and Charlie Shavers on trumpet. The ram- paging pace is pacified by the easy-listening Dreamy Melody, up next, which highlights the imposing tones of Sonny Russo’s trombone. The side concludes under the scorching sun and amid the burning sands, where AMB 90030 4 the don redman all-stars featuring coleman hawkins vol. 1 Don and the jazz nomads have found an oasis – the inherent booming beat of a Desert Dance. The flip over starts off with a madball bash whose name is derived from an old Scotch-English Ballad. It’s a rhythm rumpus with a devil-to-pay flair called Chevy’s Chase. Then 'The Hawk' makes like Santa with a bag-full on tenor tricks in a tune-tinseled ballad that describes Christmas In The Valley. This scintillating holiday setting is turned into a veritable Donnybrook in the jump session that follows, as Charlie Shavers on trumpet, Al Cohn on tenor, and trombone-man Jimmy Cleveland become the solo contenders. A swinging blues with a honky-tonk beat brings back Coleman Hawkins with some solo work that demonstrates why he has carved a deep impression on most tenor sax players in jazz. The tune is a wailing resolution that says – Ain’t Gonna Get Fooled Again. Don Redman himself joins Osie Johnson in tympany to rap out the rhythm of jungle madness – the primitive, haunting insinuating beat which accents the sorcery and magic passion of the West Indian and African ritual called …. Voodoo.

    Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Jazz History and Research Graduate Program in Arts written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by Newark, New Jersey May 2016 ©2016 Zachary Streeter ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zach Streeter Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Despite the institutionalization of jazz music, and the large output of academic activity surrounding the music’s history, one is hard pressed to discover any information on the late jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney or the legacy Jimmy Raney left on the instrument. Guitar, often times, in the history of jazz has been regulated to the role of the rhythm section, if the guitar is involved at all. While the scope of the guitar throughout the history of jazz is not the subject matter of this thesis, the aim is to present, or bring to light Jimmy Raney, a jazz guitarist who I believe, while not the first, may have been among the first to pioneer and challenge these conventions. I have researched Jimmy Raney’s background, and interviewed two people who knew Jimmy Raney: his son, Jon Raney, and record producer Don Schlitten. These two individuals provide a beneficial contrast as one knew Jimmy Raney quite personally, and the other knew Jimmy Raney from a business perspective, creating a greater frame of reference when attempting to piece together Jimmy Raney.

Carter himself is one of the legendary soloists and composer/arrangers in the history of American music. Born in 1905, he studied piano with his mother, but wanted to play the trumpet. Saving up to buy one, he realized it was a harder instrument that he’d imagined, so he exchanged it for a C-melody saxophone. By the age of fifteen, he was already playing professionally. Carter was already a veteran of such bands as Earl Hines and Charlie Johnson by his twenties. He became chief arranger of the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra when Don Redman left, and brought an entirely new style to the orchestra which was widely imitated by other arrangers and bands. In 1931, he became the musical director of McKinney’s Cotton Pickers, one of the top bands of the era, and once again picked up the trumpet.

    Interview with Benny Powell By Todd Bryant Weeks Present: Powell, his trombone student Bradley Cooper, Weeks TBW: Today is August the 6th, 2009, believe it or not, and I’m interviewing Mr. Benny Powell. We’re at his apartment in Manhattan, on 55th Street on the West Side of Manhattan. I feel honored to be here. Thanks very much for inviting me into your home. BP: Thank you. TBW: How long have you been here, in this location? BP: Over forty years. Or more, actually. This is such a nice location. I’ve lived in other places—I was in California for about ten years, but I’ve always kept this place because it’s so centrally located. Of course, when I was doing Broadway, it was great, because I can practically stumble from my house to Broadway, and a lot of times it came in handy when there were snow storms and things, when other musicians had to come in from Long Island or New Jersey, and I could be on call. It really worked very well for me in those days. TBW: You played Broadway for many years, is that right? BP: Yeah. TBW: Starting when? BP: I left Count Basie in 1963, and I started doing Broadway about 1964. TBW: At that time Broadway was not, nor is it now, particularly integrated. I think you and Joe Wilder were among the first to integrate Broadway. BP: It’s funny how it’s turned around. When I began in the early 1960s, there were very few black musicians on Broadway, then in about 1970, when I went to California, it was beginning to get more integrated.

  • “In the Mood”—Glenn Miller (1939) Added to the National Recording Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell

    “In the Mood”—Glenn Miller (1939) Added to the National Recording Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell

    “In the Mood”—Glenn Miller (1939) Added to the National Recording Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell Glenn Miller Original release label “Sun Valley Serenade” Though Glenn Miller and His Orchestra’s well-known, robust and swinging hit “In the Mood” was recorded in 1939 (and was written even earlier), it has since come to symbolize the 1940s, World War II, and the entire Big Band Era. Its resounding success—becoming a hit twice, once in 1940 and again in 1943—and its frequent reprisal by other artists has solidified it as a time- traversing classic. Covered innumerable times, “In the Mood” has endured in two versions, its original instrumental (the specific recording added to the Registry in 2004) and a version with lyrics. The music was written (or written down) by Joe Garland, a Tin Pan Alley tunesmith who also composed “Leap Frog” for Les Brown and his band. The lyrics are by Andy Razaf who would also contribute the words to “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and “Honeysuckle Rose.” For as much as it was an original work, “In the Mood” is also an amalgamation, a “mash-up” before the term was coined. It arrived at its creation via the mixture and integration of three or four different riffs from various earlier works. Its earliest elements can be found in “Clarinet Getaway,” from 1925, recorded by Jimmy O’Bryant, an Arkansas bandleader. For his Paramount label instrumental, O’Bryant was part of a four-person ensemble, featuring a clarinet (played by O’Bryant), a piano, coronet and washboard. Five years later, the jazz piece “Tar Paper Stomp” by Joseph “Wingy” Manone, from 1930, beget “In the Mood’s” signature musical phrase.
