  • 334 XIII. Revivals and Recreations; The
    XIII. Revivals and Recreations; The Sociology of Jazz By the early 1970s, as we have seen, jazz was in a state of stylistic chaos. This was one reason why the first glimmers of “smooth jazz” came about as both an antidote to fusion and an answer to “outside jazz.” But classical music was also in a state of chaos. The majority of listen- ers had become sick of listening to the modern music that had come to dominate the field since the end of World War II and had only become more abrasive and less communicative to a lay audience. In addition, the influx of young television executives in that period had not only led to the cancellation of many well-loved programs who they felt only appealed to an older audience demographic, but also the chopping out of virtually all arts programming. Such long-running programs as The Voice of Firestone and The Bell Telephone Hour were already gone by then. Leonard Bernstein had been replaced at the New York Philharmonic by Michael Tilson Thomas, an excellent conductor but not a popular communicator, and thus CBS’s “Young People’s Con- certs” no longer had the same appeal. In addition, both forms of music, classical and jazz, were the victims of an oil shortage that grossly affected American pressings of vinyl LPs. What had once been a high quality market was now riddled with defective copies of discs which had blis- ters in the vinyl, scratchy-sounding surfaces and wore out quickly. Record buyers who were turned off by this switched to cassette tapes or, in some cases, the new eight-track tape format.

  • 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.

    6.5. Strike up the band En 1927, les frères Gershwin signent la musique et les lyrics d’une nouvelle comédie musicale. Une comédie qui, en 1930, est transformée en une satire contre les tendances belligérantes des Etats-Unis. A noter que le célèbre film de 1940, avec Judy Garland et Mickey Roney, n’a, titre excepté, rien à voir avec ce spectacle. Cette fois encore, faisons connaissance avec la chanson de Gershwin à travers la version du musical : en enchainement, un minuscule extrait de film dans lequel Gershwin lui-même joue le thème au piano : Musical : Strike up the Band Jason Graae (voc) + orch (extr de CM Strike up the band) Video. George Gershwin : Strike up the Band George Gershwin (pn solo) ; rec 1928 ? Comme c’est souvent le cas, les premières versions de Strike up the band enregistrées sur disques sont le fait du tandem Wiener et Doucet en 1929. Dès 1930, Red Nichols enregistre la première version jazz, à la tête d’un mini big band qui sonne plutôt comme une formation dixieland que comme un big band en tant que tel. Pour mémoire, les disques de Nichols furent les premiers à être largement diffusés en Europe, bien avant ceux d’Armstrong, du Duke ou même de Bix Beiderbecke, et à ce titre, ses disques sont des documents historiques importants. Ils le sont aussi, avec le recul, lorsqu’on réalise que dans cette formation, on trouve quelques uns des plus fameux leaders de la swing craze : jugez plutôt : Glenn Miller et Tommy Dorsey aux trombones, Jimmy Dorsey au sax, Gene Krupa à la batterie, pour ne citer que ceux là ! Red Nichols : Strike up the Band Red Nichols, Ruby Weinstein, Charlie Teagarden (tp) Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller (tb) Jimmy Dorsey, Sid Stoneburn, Babe Russin, Larry Binyon (sax, cl) Jack Russin (pn) Teg Brown (bjo) Gene Krupa (dms) x (voc) ; rec NY janv 1930 N’insistons pas trop lourdement sur les versions swing (assez rares de toute manière) de ce thème aux accents corny évidents pour en venir à celles, autrement intéressantes, des musiciens modernes, bop et surtout cool.

  • Download the Tenor Saxophone of Buddy Tate
    1 The TENORSAX of GEORGE HOLMES TATE “BUDDY” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: Jan. 4, 2020 2 Born: Sherman, Texas, Feb. 22, 1914 Died: Chandler, Arizona, Feb. 10, 2001 Introduction: We became familiar with Buddy Tate very early through his recordings with Count Basie. I met him once, many years ago, at the Molde International Jazz Festival. He was a very kind man, and when he realized I was doing some useful work on ja zz tenor saxophone, he invited me to his hotel room for whisky. We had a very nice time together in the light summer night of Norway! Early history: His brother, a saxophonist, gave Buddy an alto in 1925. Two years later began gigging with McCloud's Night Owls (led by his cousin, trumpeter Roy McCloud). In 1929 played for several months in Wichita Falls with the St. Louis Merrymakers, later that year joined Troy Floyd's Band in San Antonio. Briefly with Gene Coy's Band, then with Terrence Holder's 12 Clouds of Joy from 1930-33. Worked with E. J. Malone and his Rhythm Kings (early 1933), Wesley Smiths' Band, ‘Tan Town Topics’, and Ethel May's Band before joining Count Basie in Little Rock, Arkansas (ca. July 1934). From late 1934 until early summer 1935 with Andy Kirk, played with band at Wiley College, Texas, then long spell with Nat Towles until joining Count Basie in spring 1939. Remained with Basie until September 1948, brief return in early 1949, then for the rest of that year worked mostly with Hot Lips Page, occasionally with Lucky Millinder.
