There are some who come dressed for the occasion. Many artists feel that if they dress like the period of time they are representing, it identifies them with the era. However, dressing like the period sometimes masks a mediocre performance, leaving audiences remembering what the artist wore, not what was performed. Twenty-three year Baltimore native Adam Swanson appeared before our TSJS audience wearing a white dress shirt, complemented with a striped bow-tie, and a black, Photo by Elsa Hahne five button vest. All that was missing was the arm Tri-State Jazz Society presents the world-acclaimed garter and a derby hat! Thankfully, it was singer and bandleader Banu Gibson, on tour direct Swanson's artistry, not his attire, which made this from New Orleans, in a rare northeastern US concert a success. performance on Sunday, November 8, 2015 from 2:00 to 4:30 p.m. at Haddonfield United Methodist Church, 29 Warwick Road, Haddonfield, NJ 08033. Banu is one of the few vocalists of her generation to maintain exclusive loyalty to songs of the 1920s, '30s, and '40s. Rather than mimic singers of the past, she mixes fresh renditions of Tin Pan Alley standards and jazz classics by Gershwin, Ellington, Berlin, Carmichael, Waller, Porter, et al. Banu toured Europe with the late legendary, fiery cornetist Wild Bill Davison, and has continuously Adam Swanson Photo by Jim McGann performed abroad with the New Orleans Hot Jazz Swanson's program leaned heavily into the ragtime in Germany, England, The Netherlands, Norway, era, but peppered his material with enough stride Sweden and with a contingent of her band in and boogie-woogie (sometimes incorporating both Australia.

In conclusion, it was Swanson's subtle, economic approach to ragtime, stride and boogie-woogie - music that does not always invite subtlety (or economics, for that matter) - that made his concert memorable.

Nov. 5, 1954 Introduction: Hot Lips Page was for unknown reasons rather marginally recognized in my Oslo Jazz Circle upbringing, and only later I opened my ears to his fine trumpet playing! Dan Morgenstern’s various liner notes helped a lot too! History: First music lessons from his mother, a former school-teacher. Early efforts on clarinet and saxophone, specialised on trumpet from the age of 12. Joined kids’ band led by bass drummer Lux Alexander. Left music temporarily, attended high school in Corsicana,Texas, left to do manual work in Seminole oil fields in Texas.

I’m Ed Berger. I’m here at the Institute of Jazz Studies in Newark interviewing my good friend and colleague Dan Morgenstern. Ken Kimery is presiding at the technical aspects. This is for the Smithsonian Oral History Project. Dan, we want to begin the inquisition with your earliest memories, but first, for the record, could you state your full name and your birth date and place? Morgenstern: I’m Dan Michael Morgenstern. I was born on October 24th, 1929. I am presently director of the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University’s Newark campus. Berger: Why don’t you tell us about your ancestry, as much as you remember – your parents and even further back if you . Morgenstern: It’s a fairly complicated – but I’ll try to be brief. My father was born in what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Between the world wars it was Poland. After World War II it became the Soviet Union, but now it’s Ukraine. So it had a scattered history. He was born into a Hassidic family, but not in what we generally think of as eastern European Jewry.

    Part 1 of Selected Discography Milt Hinton as Leader or Co-leader Compiled by Ed Berger (1949-2017) - Librarian, journalist, music producer, photographer, historian, and former Associate Director, Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University. It is estimated that between 1930 and 1995, Milt Hinton performed on more than nine hundred jazz record sessions. He made at least as many records, especially during the ’50s and ’60s, that featured hundreds of non-jazz performers, as well as countless jingles and film and television soundtracks. Specific and comprehensive information about Hinton’s recordings outside of jazz is nearly impossible to obtain. A partial list of non-jazz performers with whom he recorded includes: Paul Anka, Pearl Bailey, Harry Belafonte, Tony Bennett, Brook Benton, Archie Blyer, Teresa Brewer, Diahann Carroll, the Clancy Brothers, Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Sam Cooke, Bing Crosby, Vic Damone, Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis Jr., the Drifters, Percy Faith, Eddie Fisher, Connie Francis, Judy Garland, Jackie Gleason, Arthur Godfrey, Eydie Gormé, Skitch Henderson, John Lee Hooker, Lena Horne, Langston Hughes, Mahalia Jackson, Jack Jones, Frankie Laine, Steve Lawrence, Guy Lombardo, Johnny Mathis, Paul McCartney, Bette Midler, the Mills Brothers, Mantovani, Willie Nelson, Patti Page, Leontyne Price, Leon Redbone, Della Reese, Debbie Reynolds, Frank Sinatra, Kate Smith, Barbra Streisand, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Bobby Vinton, Dionne Warwick, Roger Williams, Jackie Wilson, and Hugo Winterhalter.

  • Ernesto Caceres “Ernie”
    1 The BARITONESAX of ERNESTO CACERES “ERNIE” Solographers: Jan Evensmo with Arne Bryn and Ola Rønnow Last update: Oct. 7, 2020 2 Born: Rockport, Texas, Nov. 22, 1911 Died: San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 10, 1971 Introduction: The day I heard Ernie Caceres play “Body And Soul” with Eddie Condon, I realized that he was one of the best baritonesax players ever in the swing tradition , regardless of colour. Incredible how such a good musician can be almost forgotten! During the year 1944 he made more beautiful soli on his instrument than most challengers do in a lifetime! Early history: Clarinet from an early age, also studied guitar and saxophone. Worked with local bands from 1928, then worked with the “family” trio. Long spell with brother Emilio’s small band including residencies in Detroit and New York. Joined Bobby Hackett in summer of 1938, played tenorsax in Jack Teagarden’s band from February 1939. Briefly in big band led by Bob Zurke, then with Glenn Miller from February 1940 until summer of 1942. With Johnny Long’s band from March 1943, with Benny Goodman in October 1943. Joined Tommy Dorsey in December 1943. Worked with Benny Goodman and Woody Herman in 1944, U.S. Army service from spring 1945. Took part in many recordings with Eddie Condon alumni during the 1940s and 1950s (ref. John Chilton). Message: I am very sorry I did not realize how fine a clarinet player EC was! When you below find reference to ‘have EC’ it means baritonesax only. However, he may play beautiful clarinet soli, not noted.
