Jack Miller: a Discography of His Vocal Recordings BOB ARNOLD Jack Miller: A Discography of His Vocal Recordings his discography was made possible by the generous help of many. In the T beginning, it was Martin F. Bryan, Editor and Publisher of The New Amberola Graphic who first suggested to me (John McAndrew to the contrary notwithstanding) that Jack Miller, the singer, and Jack Miller, the orchestra leader, might be one and the same person. Martin also supplied me with considerable discographic information from his own knowledge of the Miller recordings. William R. Bryant (Portland, MN) supplied the catalog numbers of the Australian issues sending them to Martin, who passed them on to me. Absolutely indispensable to the completion of this discography was the Research Library of the International Association of Jazz Record Collectors (IAJRC), and IAJRC Trustee C.K. "Bozy" White, who gave freely of his time and hospitality. Robert L. Stockdale of Baldwinsville, New York, generously supplied person­ nel listings for some of the accompanying groups of studio musicians, based on his research for a discography of Tommy Dorsey's recordings as a sideman. The exchange of letters with Bob also helped in clearing up some points of discographic confusion. Since my earlier correspondence with Bob, Tummy Dorsey On the Side, by Robert L. Stockdale, Studies in Jazz, No. 19, Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers, (Metuchen, NJ: Scarecrow Press, 1995) has been published. I have shamelessly borrowed from that work to complete this discography. Also consulted were BG On the Record by D. Russell Connor and Warren W. Hicks (New Rochelle, NY: Arlington House, 1969); and The American Dance Band Discography by Brian Rust (New Rochelle, NY: Arlington House, 1975). Stan Hester of Milford, Michigan, supplied most of the information on the "-P" series of catalog numbers, based on his research on the theater lobby releases pressed by Columbia. It was also Stan who put me in touch with Bob Stockdale. Morton J. Savada of Records Revisited, New York, supplied discographic data and helped uncover one of the rare instances of the use of alternate takes for a Miller release. Richard K. Hayes, Secretary/Treasurer of the Kate Smith/God Bless America Foundation, told me of two sides with Miller vocals that I never would have discovered without his help. Richard J. Johnson of England, who is preparing a corrected and expanded edition of the American Dance Band Discography, sent copies of the Columbia file ARSC Journal XXVI Ii 1995. ©Association for Recorded Sound Collections 1995. All rights reserved. Printed in USA. 34 ARSC Journal cards for the double-track records, as well as supplying other discographic information. Also assisting were, in alphabetical order, Richard Gesner, Manchester, New Hampshire; Warren Hodgdon, Amesbury, Massachusetts; Michael Pitts, author of Kate Smith, a Bio-Bibliography; Larry Shoemaker, San Bruno, California; the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound and its Archivist, Barbara Sawka; Jeff Tarrer, Swannanoa, North Carolina; and Yale University Collection of Historic Sound Recordings Librarian Richard Warren, Jr. I trust that users will find the organization of the discography reasonably self-evident. Recordings are listed in chronological order of recording dates. Song titles are in bold face, followed by the songwriters in parentheses, exactly as shown on the record label. When "(?)" appears it does not necessarily mean that the songwriters are unknown; it indicates that an example of the record has not been examined so that the listing could be copied. Following the song title and writer credits will be found the matrix number, with the take number, when known, as a suffix. Following that are all known releases of the recording, by label and catalog number. When the reverse side of a record is not by Miller, the song title and artist of the reverse side is noted, but no attempt has been made to interpret pseudonyms. All recordings were made in New York. When "piano accompaniment" is specified it is Miller's own piano playing, according to his daughters. Singer and orchestra designations on Australian issue labels are not known tome. One final word: I make no claim to infallibility. Corrections and additions will be gratefully received and cheerfully acknowledged. Collectors are encour­ aged to examine their Miller records and send in any information that may be missing, or point out errors that may exist. April 3, 1928 This entry is only a "possible".

Benny Goodman: From “King of Swing” to Third Stream. Thesis submitted to the Graduate College of Marshall University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music. by Jae Ellis Bull Dr. Vicki Stroeher, Committee Chairperson Dr. Marshall Onofrio, Dr. Donald Williams Marshall University August 2006 ABSTRACT Benny Goodman: From “King of Swing” to Third Stream. By Jae Ellis Bull Clarinetist and band leader Benny Goodman was born in the Chicago slums in 1909. He first played in dance bands and eventually organized his own band, which became so popular that he was known as the "King of Swing." As a clarinetist, he also was attracted to classical music, particularly the clarinet music of Mozart, Debussy and Brahms. Gunther Schuller, describing Goodman's ability to play in both jazz and classical styles said, "In a sense, Benny was the first Third Stream musician, moving easily in and out of jazz and classical music, from the Palomar Ballroom to Carnegie Hall..."1 This paper explores Goodman's musical career in both the classical and jazz worlds, defines the term “Third Stream” and describes how Benny Goodman fits this term.

  • The Recordings
    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links. They are not to be shared or downloaded, and the selections therein are only identified by their numbers from the complete list given below. Chapter I: 0001.
