To Errol Garner Plays Standards Original Recordings 1945-1949 achieve this aim, Naxos has engaged a number of respected restorers who have the dedication, skill and experience to produce restorations that have set new standards in the field of historical recordings. The composer of “Misty”, Erroll Louis Garner, was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 15 June 1921 and although he never learned to read music in any formal sense, even in his David Lennick youth he was already improvising and dabbling in composition. As a pianist he was largely As a producer of CD reissues, David Lennick’s work in this field grew directly from his own self-taught; he first took up the instrument at three, while still a child he was heard on his needs as a broadcaster specializing in vintage material and the need to make it listenable while local radio show Kan-D-Kids. During his ’teens he gained early experience and honed his being transmitted through equalizers, compressors and the inherent limitations of A.M. radio. already awesome technique in theatre shows and vaudeville and on riverboat gigs before Equally at home in classical, pop, jazz and nostalgia, Lennick describes himself as exercising as establishing himself during the late 1930s in bands around Pittsburgh, notably Leroy Brown’s, much control as possible on the final product, in conjunction with CEDAR noise reduction during 1937. From his boyhood Erroll received significant peer encouragement from both his applied by Graham Newton in Toronto. As both broadcaster and re-issue producer, he relies pianist brother Linton and his schoolmate Billy Strayhorn, largely at whose instigation, in on his own extensive collection as well as those made available to him by private collectors, 1944, he transferred to New York. the University of Toronto, Syracuse University and others. In New York Down Beat magazine hailed him “The only two-handed player since Fats Waller!”, he met Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker (albeit he never was sucked into the burgeoning bop Available in our companion series Naxos Nostalgia… idiom, he later recorded with Parker, in Los Angeles, in 1947) and was heard in New York’s 52nd Street clubs, notably Tondelayo’s, where during part of 1944 he was in residence. That year he made his first recordings, semi-private efforts made in the apartment of Danish jazz aficionado and promoter Baron Timme Rosenkranz and his wife (later reissued on LP by Bluenote) and also during 1944 Erroll formed a trio with John Simmons and Harold ‘Doc’ West and with this group made his first commercial recordings (issued on Atlantic, Musidisc and Rex, see Erroll Garner CD-1 Yesterdays, Naxos 8.120528). While in New York, Erroll regularly played other nightspots (sometimes reputedly making nightly appearances at up to four different venues, including the Melody Bar and the Rendezvous) and is known to have deputised after-hours for Art Tatum in the Tatum Trio. During 1944-1945, he also teamed with bassist Slam Stewart (at that time famous as half of 8.120510 8.120627 8.120637* ‘Slam & Slim’, a popular commercial jazz novelty duo with guitarist-vocalist Slim Gailhard) * Not available in the USA 2 8.120661 8.120661 7 120661bk Garner2 20/12/02 9:48 pm Page 6 15.

    CATALOGUE WELCOME to NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS and NAXOS NOSTALGIA, Twin Compendiums Presenting the Best in Vintage Popular Music

    NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS/NOSTALGIA CATALOGUE WELCOME TO NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS AND NAXOS NOSTALGIA, twin compendiums presenting the best in vintage popular music. Following in the footsteps of Naxos Historical, with its wealth of classical recordings from the golden age of the gramophone, these two upbeat labels put the stars of yesteryear back into the spotlight through glorious new restorations that capture their true essence as never before. NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS documents the most vibrant period in the history of jazz, from the swinging ’20s to the innovative ’40s. Boasting a formidable roster of artists who forever changed the face of jazz, Naxos Jazz Legends focuses on the true giants of jazz, from the fathers of the early styles, to the queens of jazz vocalists and the great innovators of the 1940s and 1950s. NAXOS NOSTALGIA presents a similarly stunning line-up of all-time greats from the golden age of popular entertainment. Featuring the biggest stars of stage and screen performing some of the best- loved hits from the first half of the 20th century, this is a real treasure trove for fans to explore. RESTORING THE STARS OF THE PAST TO THEIR FORMER GLORY, by transforming old 78 rpm recordings into bright-sounding CDs, is an intricate task performed for Naxos by leading specialist producer-engineers using state-of-the-art-equipment. With vast personal collections at their disposal, as well as access to private and institutional libraries, they ensure that only the best available resources are used. The records are first cleaned using special equipment, carefully centred on a heavy-duty turntable, checked for the correct playing speed (often not 78 rpm), then played with the appropriate size of precision stylus.

    Neglected Jazz Figures of the 1950S and Early 1960S New World NW 275

    Introspection: Neglected Jazz Figures of the 1950s and early 1960s New World NW 275 In the contemporary world of platinum albums and music stations that have adopted limited programming (such as choosing from the Top Forty), even the most acclaimed jazz geniuses—the Armstrongs, Ellingtons, and Parkers—are neglected in terms of the amount of their music that gets heard. Acknowledgment by critics and historians works against neglect, of course, but is no guarantee that a musician will be heard either, just as a few records issued under someone’s name are not truly synonymous with attention. In this album we are concerned with musicians who have found it difficult—occasionally impossible—to record and publicly perform their own music. These six men, who by no means exhaust the legion of the neglected, are linked by the individuality and high quality of their conceptions, as well as by the tenaciousness of their struggle to maintain those conceptions in a world that at best has remained indifferent. Such perseverance in a hostile environment suggests the familiar melodramatic narrative of the suffering artist, and indeed these men have endured a disproportionate share of misfortunes and horrors. That four of the six are now dead indicates the severity of the struggle; the enduring strength of their music, however, is proof that none of these artists was ultimately defeated. Selecting the fifties and sixties as the focus for our investigation is hardly mandatory, for we might look back to earlier years and consider such players as Joe Smith (1902-1937), the supremely lyrical trumpeter who contributed so much to the music of Bessie Smith and Fletcher Henderson; or Dick Wilson (1911-1941), the promising tenor saxophonist featured with Andy Kirk’s Clouds of Joy; or Frankie Newton (1906-1954), whose unique muted-trumpet sound was overlooked during the swing era and whose leftist politics contributed to further neglect.

    Erroll Garner, Master of the Keyboard 1981 Dan Morgenstern Grammy Award for Best Album Notes 1981 Book of the Month Records BOMR 81-5403 Erroll Garner, An ApprecIatIon by Dan Morgenstern Erroll Garner was a phenomenon. He didn’t sing, dance or tell jokes. He never said a word when he performed. All he did was play the piano. Yet he captured the hearts and minds of millions of listeners all over the world, becoming the most popular solo jazz instrumentalist of his time—a feat even more remarkable because his was a time when jazz was dwarfed in popularity by the gigantic media event called rock ‘n’ roll. What was Garner’s secret? Above all, he was able to communicate his joy in making music with an immediacy that transcended all differences of age, nationality, race, education and musical background. Wherever and whenever he performed, in concert halls as a soloist or with symphony orchestras or in a wide variety of nightclubs, he reached out to each member of the audience, creating the illusion that he was playing just for that person. “I don’t know what I do or how I do it;” he once said, “but with me it’s the relaxation and the feeling. I relive my life at the piano. I just like to look at people and play and smile, and get them on my side.” Garner was a natural. He was born into a musical family—in Pittsburgh, on June 15, 1923— and by the age of three he was playing the piano.

    BLACK HISTORY MONTH | CELEBRATING OSCAR PETERSON Posted on February 16, 2021 Category: News Oscar Emmanuel Peterson (1925–2007) | Agent of Change | Remembered as a virtuoso jazz pianist and composer of Hymn to Freedom, an international anthem to civil rights. The son of immigrants from the West Indies, Oscar Peterson was born in Montréal, Québec and grew up in Little Burgundy, a predominantly Black neighbourhood of the city where he was immersed in the culture of jazz. He was five years old when he began taking music lessons from his father. He also studied classical piano with his sister, Daisy Peterson Sweeney, who went on to teach other renowned jazz artists. Peterson later attended the Conservatoire de musique du Québec è Montrèal and studied classical piano with Paul de Marky, but with a deep interest in jazz, he also played boogie-woogie and ragtime. At only 14 years old, Peterson won the national Canadian Broadcasting Corporation music competition, after which he dropped out of high school and joined a band with jazz trumpeter and classmate Maynard Ferguson. While still a teenager, Peterson played professionally at hotels and at a weekly radio show. He also joined the Jonny Holmes Orchestra as its only Black musician. From 1945 to 1949, Peterson recorded 32 songs with RCA Victor. Beginning in the 1950s, he released several albums each year while appearing on over 200 albums by other artists including Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dizzy Gillespie. In 1949, jazz impresario Norman Ganz was on his way to the airport in Montréal, when hearing Peterson playing live on radio, asked the cab driver to take him to the club where the concert was being aired.
