A NEW LOW-NOISE TWIN TRIODE to improve performance and simplify the design of Audio Pre-Amplifier Stages Low noise, high performance, moderate cost­ provided by the new RCA-6EU7, a high-mu, nine­ pin miniature twin triode designed especially for high-gain, resistance-coupled, audio pre-amplifier stages-in high fidelity amplifiers (monaural or stereo), amplifier kits, tape r 2corders, juke boxes, and public address systems. Noise and hum are minimized by the use of double­ wound, helical heaters, and a new base layout which keeps heater leads well away from the grid leads. Low microphonism, high mechanical strength, and reli­ ability are assured by a short, rugged cage which provides sturdy support for the tube electrodes. New base arrangement also simplifies stereo to Stereo layouts. The accom­ C hannel 2 panying diagram shows how the basing arrangement facili­ tates the design of an amplifier using the two to Stereo triode units for isolated Channel l stereo channels.

  • Murder in Montmartre: the Leon Crutcher Affair by Anthony Baldwin with Original Artwork by Peter Poplaski
    Murder in Montmartre: The Leon Crutcher Affair by Anthony Baldwin with original artwork by Peter Poplaski opening the place on 2nd September 1925 in a blaze of publicity. The group photo was taken at Le Pavillon’s first-anniversary outdoor gala the following season. The hiring of musicians and entertainers was handled by Max-Roger-Louis Lolivrel, one of the project’s directors and former owner of Rector’s Club at 45 Rue des Acacias in Paris, where Syd and Harry Roy’s Crichton Lyricals had cut their Continental teeth in 1923-24. Dance acts and choreography at Le Pavillon were organized by veteran hoofer Harry Pilcer, formerly dance director at Rector’s. Max Lolivrel was even pushy enough to hang Rector’s trademark signboard of two drunken dogs above Le Pavillon’s garden stage. Rector’s itself had been closed since the spring of 1925, when Max had filed for bankruptcy in the Paris courts. However, nobody seemed to care. These were heady days. Leon Allen Crutcher (b. Trenton Falls, NJ, 10 Dec 1902) and drummer George Hill Evans (b. Wilmington, NC, 8 July 1896) had been regulars at Rector’s in Paris since their arrival from New York in 1924. Leon had no particular family background n September 2nd, 1926, almost exactly ninety years in music: his father was a New York postman and his mother ago, a society photographer in the French city of an apartment-house janitress. With his good looks and Biarritz took the remarkable action shot of the Palm OBeach Six reproduced on this edition’s cover page.

So, we grew up with him! History: Raised in Washington, D.C., studied dentistry at Howard University, began playing trumpet at the age of 17. Moved to New York City, worked with Cliff Jackson in the late 1920s, with Horace Henderson (1930-1). Led own band (in New York and on tour) 1934-35, worked with Willie Bryant, then to Europe. Joined Willie Lewis band (late 1936), worked mainly with Willie Lewis until 1939, then toured Scandinavia from June 1939. Was in Norway at the commencement of World War II, returned to the U.S.A. in April 1940. Led own band, worked with Mezz Mezzrow (spring 1943), with Art Hodes (summer 1943- 44), with Bingie Madison (1945), with bassist Cass Carr (summer 1947). Worked in Toronto, Canada (1948). Returned to Europe in late 1950, led own band on various tours, then played long residency at ‘La Cigale’, Paris, from 1953 until returning to the U.S.A. in 1968. Still plays regularly in New York (at the time of writing). Appeared in the film ‘Paris Blues’ (1961). (ref. John Chilton). 3 JACK BUTLER SOLOGRAPHY SAMMY LEWIS & HIS BAMVILLE SYNCOPATORS NYC.

  • Frank “Big Boy” Goudie on the West Coast Vol
    Frank “Big Boy” Goudie on the West Coast Vol. 1: Big Boy’s Blues, 1958-62 A Big Life It is a mistake of jazz history that Frank “Big Boy” Goudie (1899-1964) has been almost completely overlooked until recently. This collection and related web pages aim to help correct that oversight, examining his last and most personal chapter in San Francisco, CA 1956-64. Tall and handsome, Goudie was a cultured gentleman with advanced musical skills fluent in French and Portuguese. He had played jazz, swing, dance, latin and ethnic music on three continents. Almost 6’ 5” and at least 250 pounds, he was massive and broad. Powerfully built he remained strong and fit into his sixties. Over the previous half century Frank Goudie’s career had paralleled the history of jazz itself: origins in Louisiana, migration to Europe, transition to Swing, integration with Latin music, Goudie’s professional photo image, Paris 1939. and the New Orleans revival. Traveling the world this master musician lived four distinct musical lives: New Orleans and the Southwest 1918-24: A journeyman jazz cornet player by about 1920, Goudie moved to Texas with his family and went on the road traveling the Southwestern states and northeastern Mexico. Paris and Europe 1924-56: Frank arrived in Paris about the same time as Josephine Baker, becoming very popular. Focusing on alto saxophone and later tenor, he easily made the transition to swing. For almost three decades “Big Boy” recorded, worked, played and jammed with the jazz elite of Europe except during WW II. South America 1939-45: Stuck on the Southern continent during the war, Goudie played dance music, big band, samba-swing and jazz when he could.

  • ARSC Journal, Spring 1993 71 Sound Recording Reviews · Leading a Major American Orchestra, Deciding Instead to Concentrate on a New Career As a Concert Pianist
    SOUND RECORDING REVIEWS Sergei Rachmaninoff-The Complete Recordings. Sergei Rachmaninoff, pianist and conductor, with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Leopold Stokowski and Eugene Ormandy, conductors. Recorded 1919-1942. RCA Victor Gold Seal 61265-2 (10 CDs, ADD). Forty years after his death, Sergei Rachmaninoff remains one of the most significant musicians of the twentieth century. As a composer, Rachmaninoff has been maligned severely over the years, indeed, even during his own lifetime, as an outmoded holdover from a bygone romantic tradition. Yet being outmoded is not sufficient justification for dismissing a composer's work, and Rachmaninoff certainly was not the first composer to be considered dated in his own lifetime. It is worth remembering that J. S. Bach also was considered "old-fashioned" near the end of his life. Rachmaninoff was certainly Bach's equal as a composer (he has much company) but he easily ranks with a large number of second-string, not second-rate, composers whose works occupy a significant place in the repertoire, including Respighi, Holst, and Scriabin. Rachmaninoff's Preludes and Etudes-Tableux are hardly a re-hashing of the solo piano writing of Chopin, Schumann, and Liszt. They are strikingly original works whose musical challenges are as significant as the more obvious technical demands. Of all the romantic pianist-composers, Rachmaninoff produced the most extensive output of music for piano and orchestra. Unlike Chopin, whose orchestral writing in his Concerti is quite inept, Rachmaninoff was a highly skillful orchestrator. This is not only evident in his Second Symphony, The Isle ofthe Dead, and The Bells, but also in his operas, which remain virtually unknown in the western hemisphere.

  • The Gold Star Mothers at Gare Des Invalides
    The Gold Star Mothers at Gare des Invalides In Traveling Blues by Bo Lindström and Dan Vernhettes, one paragraph deals with the events at Gare des Invalides, Paris, in 1930. Recent research has established the date given in the book to be false. Moreover, a revised version was earlier published at the Tommy Ladnier site, again with false dates and false identification of some musicians. In this new study, I have included valuable information and views provided by Konrad Nowakowski as well as his careful proofreading. I am also in debt to Dan Vernhettes, Mark Berresford, Kim Altsund, and Anthony Barnett for information. Stockholm 15 October 2014 Bo Lindström The advent of the Gold Star Mothers pilgrimages After WWI, mothers and widows of fallen soldiers came to be known as “Gold Star Mothers."1 The phrase is generic and, through customary usage, it has come to designate any mother whose child has been lost in war. Grace Darling Seibold did the initial work. Her son, a volunteer pilot fighting in France did not get any initial official recognition from U.S. authorities, causing Mrs. Seibold extra grief. His body was never found. Then in June 1928, Mrs. Seibold, along with twenty-five other mothers, formed the national organization of American Gold Star Mothers, Inc., incorporated on January 5, 1929 under the laws of the District of Columbia. From the start, the national Gold Star Mothers' Association lobbied for a federally sponsored pilgrimage to the cemeteries of Europe. On March 2, 1929, the U.S. Congress passed legislation authorizing funding for Gold Star Mothers and widows "to make a special pilgrimage to France .
