    THE GREAT ESCAPE!* ♪ *“Anything that is good jazz is a great escape. When you’re involved in playing or listening to great jazz, no one can get to you.” -Woody Herman Issue No 30 Presented by: www.dixieswing.com Our 30th Issue! The Story of Three Trumpet Players By Browser Joe Carlton Here are thumbnail sketches of three lesser known In his later years, Jimmy picked up the bagpipes and often trumpet players. This is not about the likes of Harry James, appeared playing them in New York City's St. Patrick's Day's Charlie Spivak or Louis Armstrong. It's about some of the parade. So, this was the life of a skilled trumpeter who had guys who paid their dues mostly in section work, two of an appealing tone but who lost his way as he aged. whom later becoming better known but of one who Harry Aaron Finkelman is the second of these three didn't.

    Oceánide 6 2014 Fecha de recepción: 30 diciembre 2013 Fecha de aceptación: 28 enero 2014 Fecha de publicación: 10 febrero 2014 URL:http://oceanide.netne.net/articulos/art6-1.php Oceánide número 6, ISSN 1989-6328 A Spaniard in America / An Americano in Spain: Xavier Cugat and his Incredible Story Galina BAKHTIAROVA (Western Connecticut State University, Danbury, United States) RESUMEN: El líder estadounidense Xavier Cugat (1901-1990), autoproclamado Rey de la Rumba, es uno de los nombres más conocidos en el panorama musical de los Estados Unidos desde finales de 1930 hasta la década de 1960. Nacido en la ciudad de Girona, en lo que hoy es la Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña, en España, y educado como músico en Cuba, Cugat aprovechó el encanto de los ritmos exóticos asociados entre España y América Latina. Cugat siempre se auto-identificó como catalán y al tiempo, se sentía orgulloso de su ciudadanía americana. Su influencia en la música popular estadounidense y mundial fue enorme. Su trayectoria refleja, como ninguna otra, la historia de la música popular del siglo XX cuando se difuminan las fronteras nacionales y las culturas se mezclan entre sí. Un gran promotor de sí mismo e inteligente showman, ha participado en numerosos actos publicitarios, siempre dispuesto a conceder entrevistas. De estas entrevistas nace en parte el mito de Cugat, convirtiendo su biografía en una fusión entre realidad e imaginación, que sigue confundiendo aun hoy en día a escritores e investigadores. Una yuxtaposición de sus dos relatos autobiográficos, y múltiples entrevistas a los medios, insinúan cierta aura de fama, y un deseo desenfrenado de auto-promoción.

  • Pete Rugolo (25/12/1915 - 16/10/2011)
    1 PETE RUGOLO (25/12/1915 - 16/10/2011) Grandeur et Modestie d’un Musicien de Génie . NAISSANCE. C’est en Sicile (Italie), dans la charmante commune de San Piero Patti (province de Messina) que naît, le jour de Noël 1915, le petit Pietro, fils d’Anna et Antonino Rugolo. Ce dernier, tailleur de pierre et de marbre, décide, en 1920 après avoir été prisonnier des Autrichiens, d’emmener sa famille en Californie, à Santa Rosa, au nord de San Francisco. Là, il s’installe comme cordonnier et accompagne son travail de l’écoute, grâce à son vieux phonographe, d’airs d’opéra italiens chantés surtout par Caruso. Un jour, l’un de ses clients, incapable de payer les travaux effectués, lui fait parvenir un piano et c’est sur ce piano que le petit Pietro (plus tard Pete et parfois Peter ou Gene, dans les séries TV) passe des heures à jouer chansons et airs d’opéra variés pour le plus grand plaisir d’Antonino. CONSTRUCTION. Encouragé par sa famille (ses deux sœurs sont musiciennes), Pete entreprend ses premières études musicales à Santa Rosa. En 1935, il étudie également au San Francisco State College et obtient, en 1939, un bachelor’s degree (baccalauréat) en éducation musicale, son intention étant de se consacrer à l’enseignement. A l’automne 1939, il part pour le Mills College à Oakland où il a la grande chance d’étudier la composition avec le prestigieux musicien français Darius Milhaud, membre du groupe Les Six, champion de la polytonalité et très ouvert au jazz, tout comme Ravel, Stravinsky et bien d’autres.
