  • Emmett Berry
    1 The TRUMPET of EMMETT BERRY Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last updated: July 18, 2019 2 Born: Macon, Georgia, July 23, 1915 Died: June 22, 1993 Introduction: Emmett Berry was an excellent swing trumpeter but possibly suffered by being overshadowed by the charismatic Roy Eldridge with a related style. It was quite obvious that he should be a candidate for a solography on internet! Early history: Raised in Cleveland, Ohio; began ‘gigging’ with local bands, then joined J. Frank Terry’s Chicago Nightingales in Toledo, Ohio (1932), left Terry in Albany, New York, in 1933and ‘gigged’ mainly in that area during the following three years. Joined Fletcher Henderson in late 1936, and remained until Fletcher disbanded in June 1939. With Horace Henderson until October 1940, briefly with Earl Hines, then with Teddy Wilson’s sextet from May 1941 until July 1942, then joined Raymond Scott at C.B.S. With Lionel Hampton from spring of 1943, week with Teddy Wilson in August 1943, briefly with Don Redman and Benny Carter, then again rejomed Teddy Wilson c. November 1943. With John Kirby Sextet from summer 1944 until January 1945, Eddie Heywood, February until October 1945, then joined Count Basie. Left Basie in 1950. (ref. John Chilton). Message: I met Emmett Berry’s daughter Christina at the National Jazz Museum of Harlem a few years ago, seeking information about her father. I promised her a solography, it has taken some time, but here it is. Hopefully you are happy with this tribute to your father, Christina! 3 EMMETT BERRY SOLOGRAPHY FLETCHER HENDERSON & HIS ORCHESTRA NYC.

The rationale section explains that folksinging can be a valuable activity in the classroom by: 1) presenting a mirror for the student's personality and by being a useful tool for individual development; 2) allowing students to "act out" their impressions insong and thus allowing them to gain important insights and an empathy with people and situations that might never be gained through direct experience; 3) making it possible for students to transverse history, feel the pain of social injustice, lessen inhibitions, fulfill emotional needs, test creative talent, be given an outlet to their idealisticenergy, and find infinite pleasure in performing good music. Sections included in the guide are: Introduction: Philosophy and Rationale, InstructionAl Guidelines, Comments Concerning Equipment (folk instruments), and, A Representative Sampling of Multimedia Resource Materials (which includes books and periodicals, films, records, filmstrips and record sets, and record collections).Another document in this series is Teaching Guitar (SO 005 614).
