Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. When undertaking our work, Allan and I were aware of the work started by Ted Fa- gan and Bill Moran, in which they intended to account for every recording made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. We decided to take on what we believed was a more practical approach, one that best met the needs of record collectors. Simply stat- ed, Fagan and Moran were describing recordings that were not necessarily published; I believed record collectors were interested in records that were actually available. We decided to account for records found in Victor catalogs, ones that were purchased and found in homes after 1901 as 78rpm discs, many of which have become highly sought- after collector’s items.

  • Newsletter Volume Xxix Big Band Jump Newsletter November-December 1993
    BIG BAND JUMP NEWSLETTER VOLUME XXIX BIG BAND JUMP NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 1993 HENRY MANCINI INTERVIEW THE BACKGROUND The promotion people put us in touch with Henry Mancini as part of the advertising campaign for a concert tour he was making at the time. He talked on a “live” local radio program with Don Kennedy. Mancini and Kennedy grew up within twelve miles of each other in the steel-making area of Western Pennsylvania, just thirty miles from Pittsburgh, although separated in time by half a generation. Mancini was a contemporary of Kennedy’s older musician brothers, so there were some common memories tied with the stories of his early years playing in steel-town beer joints. THE SCENE Unlike some celebrities of Henry Mancini’s stature, the Mancini at work. interview wasn’t difficult to arrange. He is so approach­ able and unaffected by his success, however, that he has BBJ: What kind of musical experience did you have a tendency to be off-hand with his answers, resulting in there? an interview with shorter answers and in some instances less depth than most musical celebrities. Mancini’s HM: Every kind! (Laughs) I started playing flute when answer to a couple of questions was something such as I was a kid, when my Dad gave one to me. He was a flute “Oh, sure.” Some of those one and two word answers player, too. That was at the age of eight, and then I were edited out in places where Kennedy’s persistence started playing piano about eleven and then took up eventually resulted in a longer, more meaningful answer, arranging on my own at about fourteen.

Quite by accident we were on the mailing list advertising Krupa drum­ sticks and Krupa publications. It is from the “World of Gene Krupa” book we’ve excerpted the following Gene Krupa comments, presented in interview style. BBJ host Don Kennedy interviewed Gene Krupa in 1949 or early 1950 when Krupa was appearing at the Palace Theater in Youngstown, Ohio. The interview was set up for one o’clock in the morning, after the last of the six or seven daily ‘live’ performances between showings of the feature movie. That taped interview has long since been lost, but one distinct memory The young Krupa at work remains: the extremely courteous behavior of Gene came from the Buddy Rogers band. I knew Stan in the Krupa. Kennedy recalls the event. old days when I worked for Red Nichols. THE place then was Plunkett’s (a speakeasy on 53rd Street) and “I was nineteen or twenty and my dad went with me for Stan was a very big name then and much respected by company. While I was setting up that bulky early tape me, not so much for his talent, because I was going the recorder, Gene Krupa talked to my 66 year old dad, a other way for guys like Chick Webb and Tommy Miles.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.
