  • Good Morning Blues
    STJHUMRev Vol. 1-1 1 Good Morning Blues: The Autobiography of Count Basie as told to Albert Murray, with a new introduction by Dan Morgenstern Da Capo Press, 2002 $17.50 paperback 50 photographs [originally published by Random House, 1985] Reviewed By Paul Devlin Da Capo has just released a new edition of this book which Quincy Jones called "indispensable to any appreciation of our musical culture". This is the story of Count Basie, the legendary piano player and bandleader who was especially known for swinging the blues, as told to Albert Murray between 1978 and 1984, and published to great fanfare and stellar reviews in late 1985. With a new and valuable introduction by Dan Morgenstern, eminent jazz critic and Director of the Institute for Jazz Studies at Rutgers University, Good Morning Blues will hopefully find its place on the bookshelves of young jazz fans. "When Albert Murray told me that he was going to be, as he put it, Count Basie’s co-writer on the great man’s autobiography, I was both baffled and elated", writes Morgenstern in the introduction to what has to be one of the finest American memoirs. "Elated", he continues, because Basie...had for years been stalling journalists and scholars with the excuse that he was saving anything worth talking about for a (hypothetical) book; baffled not so much because I knew Murray had other literary irons in the fire, but because these two, on the face of it, made such an odd couple. Basie was laid back, laconic, taciturn, the incarnation of the man-of-few words, while Murray was intense, animated, a brilliant and enthusiastic talker, a veritable verbalist.

  • Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival Announces Its 2017 Blues Programme
    Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival announces its 2017 Blues programme With over 20 blues concerts this year’s programme spans Southern blues, Delta blues, Mississippi blues, Chicago blues, electric blues to acoustic blues. The cast list includes American stars and the best homegrown talent. Born in Vance, Alabama in 1939, Alabama Slim “grew up listening to the old blues since I was a child. I spent summers with my grandparents who had a farm. Them old folks would get to moanin’ while they worked, and I just started moanin’ with them. That’s where I learned to sing”. Alabama Slim is typical of the musicians playing as part of The Music Makers Blue Revue, which has been described as akin to Cuba’s Buena Vista Social Club. As a loose amalgam of elderly Southern blues stars who are on the road together. They make their Scottish debut. They headline the influx of American blues talent which also includes: Texan, Hamilton Loomis who will have you jamming and grooving along with his guitar riffs reminiscent of Kravitz and Stevie Ray Vaughan. His unapologetic sound is classic rock inspired blues at it’s best. Mr Sipp “aka the Mississippi blues child” has a personality full of spirit and a genuine love for the blues. His shows are transformative – taking audiences on a trip back to the heyday of Mississippi blues and the infamous BB King. With roots in gospel, his sound is big, loud and soulful. Idaho born John Nemeth has an astonishing vocal range and top-notch harmonica skills. Winning accolades through the years for his contribution to the blues world, Nemeth delivers electric Blues straight from Memphis.

  • EARL HINES PLAYS New World Records 80361 DUKE ELLINGTON
    EARL HINES PLAYS New World Records 80361 DUKE ELLINGTON When time pulled the rug from under Earl Hines in 1983, he was still enjoying a comeback that had lasted almost twenty years. That comeback was one of the most important events in recent jazz history and the music included here was recorded when his return to action was in high gear. In 1964, when Stanley Dance talked him into appearing for two performances at the Little Theater in New York, Hines had been in near obscurity and on the verge of retiring. Few at that point understood or valued his position in the development of jazz. Like too many others, Hines had by then begun to experience the dismay of one who had not only been of seminal significance to the language of his instrument but had also been very popular at one time. But as of that engagement in 1964, at fifty-eight, he was working again, and in circumstances that did not reduce him to “bookings with a trio into the kind of after-theater clubs that feature self-effacing music, as an unobtrusive accompaniment to the patrons' conversation,” as Martin Williams wrote of Hines's worst professional period. That episode had been so appalling because Hines was the “seer” of modern piano-playing, in just the same way that Louis Armstrong was the seer of modern trumpet-playing: the solutions found within his approach indelibly influenced his contemporaries, in absolute terms, and the future by implication. To the orchestral style of Afro-American piano formed of ragtime, stride, and blues, Hines added a linear approach that was a counterpoint to what Armstrong was doing on his horn.

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.

  • Kansas City: the Crossroads of Jazz
    Kansas City: The Crossroads of Jazz Kansas City, Wilbur Harrison, 1959 • What makes Kansas City Jazz different from all the other styles of Jazz and Swing? • Riff Based melodies and background figures • Blues coming back to the forefront of the music • Featuring Virtuoso soloists • Driving rhythm always with a sense of motion • Use of head-arrangements: memorized structures embellished on the fly by the musicians; a sort of ensemble based improvisation. • What are the factors that allowed Kansas City Jazz to come to be? • Political/Economic factors such as a lax attitude towards prohibition • Geographical factors such as Kansas City’s central location • Musical factors such as a strong musicians union and well developed music education programs. Tickle Toe, 1940 The Early Bands Bennie Moten’s Kansas City Orchestra 1925 Bennie Moten’s Kansas City Orchestra Vine Street Blues, 1924 • Probably the most influential bandleader in Kansas City Jazz, Pianist Bennie Moten led the most successful of the Kansas City bands. Nearly everyone who would become an important member of the Kansas City bands came though his organization at one point or another. • Early on the scene, with recording dates as early as 1923, Moten was the most established and financially successful of the early Kansas City bands, which enabled him to successfully poach talent from the other KC and territory bands, such as Walter Page’s Oklahoma Blue devils. • This included luminaries such as Count Basie (just known as Bill Basie then), Eddie Durham, Hot Lips Page, Jimmy Rushing, and eventually Walter Page himself. • Hired Bill Basie to play piano because he was too busy with the business side of running his band to always be at the keys.
