Hackett, a railroad blacksmith mother Rose A. (nee Mulvaney) Hackett siblings six sisters and two brothers education Commercial High School [ now Central High School ], Providence, Rhode Island (he left school at age 14) spouse Edna Lillian (nee Lee) Hackett, b.April 7, 1915; m.July 26, 1937; d.April 15, 2000 son Ernest “Ernie” Hackett, b.April 6, 1949 daughter Barbara Traynor grandchildren two physical description “a short, trim man who sometimes wore a thin mustache” death June 7, 1976, Chatham, Massachusetts, heart attack grave Seaside Cemetery, Chatham, Massachusetts Bobby Hackett’s own big band didn’t last very long; he made a much greater musical impression as a sideman in such orchestras as Horace Heidt, Glenn Miller, and Glen Gray (not to mention his trumpet solos on various Jackie Gleason record albums afterwards). Hackett had been playing music since he was about eight years old. “His first instrument was the violin. Then on to banjo & guitar!,” his son, Ernie, reminded me. “Later he switched over to trumpet & landed on cornet!” Hackett played with various groups at restaurants, hotels, ballrooms across the northeast, and in 1935 received his Musicians Union card from Local 9-535 in Boston. He formed his own group, a small band, not long afterwards, and in 1938 began recording under his own name for the Vocalion label, employing, on various dates, such sidemen as George Brunies (trombone), Brad Gowans (valve trombone), Pee Wee Russell (clarinet), Ernie Caceres (baritone sax), Eddie Condon (guitar), Johnny Blowers (drums), and Linda Keene (vocal).

  • Glenn Miller 1939 the Year He Found the Sound
    GLENN MILLER 1939 THE YEAR HE FOUND THE SOUND Dedicated to the Glenn Miller Birthpace Society June 2019 Prepared by: Dennis M. Spragg Glenn Miller Archives Alton Glenn Miller (1904-1944) From Glenn Miller Declassified © 2017 Dennis M. Spragg Sound Roots Glenn Miller was one of the foremost popular music celebrities of the twentieth century. The creative musician and successful businessman was remarkably intuitive and organized, but far from perfect. His instincts were uncanny, although like any human being, he made mistakes. His record sales, radio popularity, and box-office success at theaters and dance halls across the nation were unsurpassed. He had not come to fame and fortune without struggle and was often judgmental and stubborn. He had remarkable insight into public taste and was not afraid to take risks. To understand Miller is to appreciate his ideals and authenticity, essential characteristics of a prominent man who came from virtually nothing. He sincerely believed he owed something to the nation he loved and the fellow countrymen who bought his records. The third child of Lewis Elmer Miller and Mattie Lou Cavender, Alton Glen Miller was born March 1, 1904, at 601 South 16th Street in Clarinda, a small farming community tucked in the southwest corner of Iowa. Miller’s middle name changed to Glenn several years later in Nebraska. His father was an itinerant carpenter, and his mother taught school. His older brother, Elmer Deane, was a dentist. In 1906 Miller’s father took his family to the harsh sand hills of Tryon, Nebraska, near North Platte. The family moved to Hershey, Nebraska, in the fall of 1912 and returned to North Platte in July 1913, where Glenn’s younger siblings John Herbert and Emma Irene were born.

Bolig American Discography Project UC Santa Barbara Library © 2017 John R. Bolig. All rights reserved. ii The Victor Discography Series By John R. Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. 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.

  • 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.
