It had made a stunning introduction in I the opening moments to a film called Blackboard Jungle. But at that time my favourite record was one by Lionel Hampton. I was not alone. Me and my three jazz loving friends couldn’t be bothered spending hard-earned cash on rock and roll records. Our quartet consisted of clarinet, drums, bass and vocal. Robert (nickname Orgy) was learning clarinet; Malcolm (Slim) was going to learn drums (which in due course he did under the guidance of Gordon LeCornu, a percussionist and drummer in the days when Sydney still had a thriving show scene); Dave (Bebop) loved the bass; and I was the vocalist a la Joe (Bebop) Lane. We were four of 120 RAAF apprentices undergoing three years boarding school training at Wagga Wagga RAAF Base from 1955-1957. Of course, we never performed together but we dreamt of doing so and luckily, dreaming was not contrary to RAAF regulations.

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.

June 6th 1935, because he and his band sure had a busy day! Back then, because of the depression, it is said that He and his Rhythm Makers Orchestra went into the studio and in transcriptions actually outsold 78 RPM records. During the one sitting recorded 50 tracks (one a medley of two) for the RCA 1970’s, there was a “direct-to-disc” recording craze where bands transcription service. recorded a “live” session directly to a master disc with no editing The backstory: Benny in 1934 had organized a big band or mixing. Bands such as Harry James, Les Brown, Buddy Rich, for Billy Rose’s Music Hall in New York City. It was run as a and Benny Goodman participated in the production of these supper club with vaudeville acts opening and the Goodman band audiophile LP’s.

  • Irving Randolph “Mouse”
    1 The TRUMPET of IRVING RANDOLPH “MOUSE” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last updated: Feb. 12, 2018 Note: This is a complete solography with comments to all sessions. 2 Born: St. Louis, Missouri, June 22, 1909 Died: NYC. Dec. 10, 1997 Introduction: Irving Randolph was my very good friend, and every time I visited New York, I used to stay with him and his wife Henrietta at their apartment on Hamilton Terrace, close to Columbia University. He was really a prince, a very pleasant personality with so much humour. We had so much fun together, and he taught me to drink Bells whisky, his favourite brand. He is much underrated as a trumpet artist, although at his best in the middle 1930s, he had no peers only equals. Unfortunately he was taken ill in 1939, and he told me that when he returned to music, his embouchure never came back with him. The solography below is basically the one printed as Vol. 12 (1982) in my Jazz Solography series, but now continued until the end of his musical career. History: First professional work with Fate Marable’s Band, then joined Norman Mason’s Carolina Melodists. With drummer Floyd Campbell’s Orchestra (1928), then worked with Alphonso Trent and J. Frank Terry’s Band before joining Andy Kirk from 1931-1933, played occasionally for Fletcher Henderson early in 1934, spell with Benny Carter, then became regular member of Fletcher Henderson’s band from July 1934. Joined Cab Calloway from spring 1935 until late 1939, when he joined Ella Fitzgerald. With Don Redman from May 1943, then Edmond Hall sextet throughout the late 1940s.

  • Interview with Jimmy Wyble
    Jimmy Wyble by Jim Carlton www.jimcarlton.com The Amazing Captain C Chord Jimmy Wyble laughingly calls himself “Captain C Chord,” but I think he has the right to call himself Captain Marvel. He’s perhaps the most genuinely humble person I’ve ever talked to although he’s covered more ground musically than any guitarist I can think of. Early in his career he was an integral part of Bob Wills’ famous western swing band, the Texas Playboys. Later, he moved on to enhance the groups of both Benny Goodman and Red Norvo, among others, and like many of his peers spent years as one of Hollywood’s top studio players busily working recording dates, television shows, commercials and film scores. Not only has his jazz playing influenced countless others but his series of original, inventive and atmospheric guitar etudes have fascinated any number of classical artists. Jimmy’s a complete player with a legacy that’s yet to be totally discovered by the guitar world at large. That’s why it’s my pleasure to share a glimpse of, and I hope some insight to, this player who’s one of the world’s finest jazz guitarists. Many guitar-greats consider Jimmy Wyble a genius talent. Jimmy’s a soft-spoken man without pretense or ostentation. His mild- manned demeanor left me with a sense of his being a focused, centered and creative artist who nevertheless seems truly amazed at his own accomplishments. Few players have had such a comprehensive and interesting background and I sincerely believe he looks back fondly at a blessed and satisfying music career.

  • Download LEON BERRY “CHU”
    1 The TENORSAX of LEON BERRY “CHU” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: May 30, 2018 2 Born: Wheeling, West Virginia, Sept. 13, 1910 Died: Conneaut, Ohio, Oct. 30, 1941 Introduction: Oslo Jazz Circle may be said to have developed upon the grave of Chu Berry!! From the very beginning he was identified as the most swinging tenorsax player of them all, the center of swing which all jazz revolved around. To be a member of the club, you had to answer correctly to a questionnaire related to his music, no amateurs were allowed to join this very serious association!! Great plans were made to commemorate him, including a statue, first of normal height to be located on a small island in the Molde fiord for the benefit of visitors to the Molde Jazz Festival, but later the vision was upgraded to the size of the Statue of Liberty in New York, with Chu blowing to warn ships in distress when the fog was coming. However, the ideas were not consistent with the new airport in Molde, a large statue would be a danger to air safety. So the plans were buried. For good? Who knows? Chu still deserves a statue, to me he is greater than ever!!! A Chu Berry solography was published in my Jazz Solography Series as Vol. 1 way back in the 1970s. Most of the comments have been left unchanged, but lots of additional material has been discovered since then! History: Came from a musical family, his brother, Nelson, is a tenor sax player. Took up sax after hearing Coleman Hawkins playing on a Fletcher Henderson summer tour.
