    Sonny Stitt & The Top Brass Atlantic SD 1395 Sonny Stitt personnel Sonny Stitt (as); Jimmy Cleveland, Matthew Gee (tb); Blue Mit- chell, Dick Vance, Reunald Jones (tp); Willie Ruff (frh); Duke Jordan (p); Perri Lee (org); Joe Benjamin (b); Philly Joe Jones, Frank Brown (dr) tracks Souls Valley; Coquette; On A Misty Night; Stittsie; Poinciana; Boom-Boom; Sea Sea Rider; The Four Ninety; Hey Pam General opinion has it that Sonny Stitt always stood in Charlie Parker’s shadow. That, however, is unjustifiable. The legendary jazz critic Nat Hentoff wrote, for example: »Sonny has been one of the wholly involved players, well known and admired for his catalogue # soul and the earthiness of his message only by musicians who feel and play like he does 1395 and by that part of the jazz audience that is most moved by naked, open emotion. He has made his mark with them as an honest yea-sayer who can’t help but play what he set contents 1 LP / standard sleeve knows and feels.« The present recording is proof of this – a session which shouldn’t re- ally have worked out so well. Sonny Stitt’s alto saxophone presides over a seven-man- pricecode strong brass group, and although the prospect of a Sonny Stitt big band does not SC01 sound too promising initially, this rendezvous is really enjoyable, thanks in part to release date Stitt’s superb solos. At this time he was on the top of his form and he plays freely over March 2020 the basis provided by the brass section consisting of Blue Mitchell, Jimmy Cleveland barcode and Willie Ruff.

  • Emmett Berry
    1 The TRUMPET of EMMETT BERRY Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last updated: July 18, 2019 2 Born: Macon, Georgia, July 23, 1915 Died: June 22, 1993 Introduction: Emmett Berry was an excellent swing trumpeter but possibly suffered by being overshadowed by the charismatic Roy Eldridge with a related style. It was quite obvious that he should be a candidate for a solography on internet! Early history: Raised in Cleveland, Ohio; began ‘gigging’ with local bands, then joined J. Frank Terry’s Chicago Nightingales in Toledo, Ohio (1932), left Terry in Albany, New York, in 1933and ‘gigged’ mainly in that area during the following three years. Joined Fletcher Henderson in late 1936, and remained until Fletcher disbanded in June 1939. With Horace Henderson until October 1940, briefly with Earl Hines, then with Teddy Wilson’s sextet from May 1941 until July 1942, then joined Raymond Scott at C.B.S. With Lionel Hampton from spring of 1943, week with Teddy Wilson in August 1943, briefly with Don Redman and Benny Carter, then again rejomed Teddy Wilson c. November 1943. With John Kirby Sextet from summer 1944 until January 1945, Eddie Heywood, February until October 1945, then joined Count Basie. Left Basie in 1950. (ref. John Chilton). Message: I met Emmett Berry’s daughter Christina at the National Jazz Museum of Harlem a few years ago, seeking information about her father. I promised her a solography, it has taken some time, but here it is. Hopefully you are happy with this tribute to your father, Christina! 3 EMMETT BERRY SOLOGRAPHY FLETCHER HENDERSON & HIS ORCHESTRA NYC.

    1 The TENORSAX of BENJAMIN FRANCIS WEBSTER “BEN” “FROG” “BRUTE” PART 2 (1943 – 1954) Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: October 23, 2017 2 Born: Kansas City, Missouri, March 27, 1909 Died: Amsterdam, Holland, Sept. 20, 1973 Introduction: Ben Webster got his fame through his association with Duke Ellington in the early forties, but he certainly managed on his own for his remaining forty years as active and highly respect artist. Intermediate History: Led own band on 52nd Street, short stay in Sid Catlett’s band (early 1944), with Raymond Scott on C.B.S. and two months with John Kirby (June – July 1944). Brief spell with Stuff Smith early in 1945, but from October 1944 mostly led own small groups for various residencies including: Spotlite and Three Deuces in New York and at Garrick Bar in Chicago (also guested with Henry Allen’s Band at the Garrick). Rejoined Duke Ellington from November 1948 until September 1949, worked with Jay McShann in Kansas City, also toured with ‘Jazz At The Philharmonic’. Returned to Kansas City, worked regularly with Bob Wilson’s band and free-lanced. Moved back to New York in late 1952, led own small groups, did studio work and free-lance recordings, then lived for several years in California (ref.

  • Irving Randolph “Mouse”
    1 The TRUMPET of IRVING RANDOLPH “MOUSE” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last updated: Feb. 12, 2018 Note: This is a complete solography with comments to all sessions. 2 Born: St. Louis, Missouri, June 22, 1909 Died: NYC. Dec. 10, 1997 Introduction: Irving Randolph was my very good friend, and every time I visited New York, I used to stay with him and his wife Henrietta at their apartment on Hamilton Terrace, close to Columbia University. He was really a prince, a very pleasant personality with so much humour. We had so much fun together, and he taught me to drink Bells whisky, his favourite brand. He is much underrated as a trumpet artist, although at his best in the middle 1930s, he had no peers only equals. Unfortunately he was taken ill in 1939, and he told me that when he returned to music, his embouchure never came back with him. The solography below is basically the one printed as Vol. 12 (1982) in my Jazz Solography series, but now continued until the end of his musical career. History: First professional work with Fate Marable’s Band, then joined Norman Mason’s Carolina Melodists. With drummer Floyd Campbell’s Orchestra (1928), then worked with Alphonso Trent and J. Frank Terry’s Band before joining Andy Kirk from 1931-1933, played occasionally for Fletcher Henderson early in 1934, spell with Benny Carter, then became regular member of Fletcher Henderson’s band from July 1934. Joined Cab Calloway from spring 1935 until late 1939, when he joined Ella Fitzgerald. With Don Redman from May 1943, then Edmond Hall sextet throughout the late 1940s.

Ces deux moments connaissent d’ailleurs une chronologie équivalente. Enregistré en février 1917, le disque sortit en mars. Était-ce le 8 ? Ce serait dans l’ordre surréaliste, mais il s’avère que la date de sortie avait été retardée. L’annonce avait été faite pour mars, le 78 tours sortit en avril… Le 8 mars 1917, les ouvrières de Saint-Pétersbourg décidaient de manifester pour la journée internationale des femmes.
