POSTAGE PAID Atlanta, GA 30355 Atlanta, GA Permit No. 2022 1SIG ISAM) JUMP VOLUME LXV_____________________________ BIG BAND JUMP NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 1999 HELEN FORREST INTERVIEW THEBACKGROUND There’s not much doubt about Helen Forrest’s rank as a vocalist. Most musicians and listeners place her as the number one Big Band and single vocalist of her time, a position confirmed in Metronome and Down­ beat polls of 1942, both ranking her as the top female vocalist of that year. Her work with Artie Shaw was notable, she was not featured a great deal during her tenure with Benny Goodman and probably recorded her most memorable Big Band songs with Harry James. When Helen Forrest left the Big Bands to become a single performer, she recorded often with Dick Haymes, with whom she also appeared on the radio in a long-running series of programs. In 1982, the Helen Forrest autobiography was pub­ lished by Putnam, titled I HAD THE CRAZIEST DREAM after the song with the same title she re­ corded in the early '40s with Harry James. The book is now out of print. Helen Forrest glamour shot from mid-forties She continued to work until the early 1990s, when HF: Inradio.

  • The Artie Shaw Orchestra
    The Artie Shaw Orchestra On the eve of America's entry into World War II, TIME magazine reported that to the German masses the United States meant "sky-scrapers, Clark Gable, and Artie Shaw." Some 42 years after that, in December l983, Artie Shaw made a brief return to the bandstand, after thirty years away from music, not to play his world-famous clarinet but to launch his latest (and still touring) orchestra at the newly refurbished Glen Island Casino in New Rochelle, New York. This new Artie Shaw Orchestra remains one of the swingingest outfits around. Featuring clarinetist Matt Koza, the group hews to the Shaw legacy, and continues with the time-tested formula that has always pleased a full spectrum of audiences from the “Begin the Beguine” fans of yesteryear to the new jazz fans who want to imbibe in an exciting and heady evening of Swing. A Brief History Artie Shaw was born in New York City on May 23, 1910 and was in the top echelon of bandleader/soloists from the great swing era of 1935-45. He made his first public appearance as a leader in 1936, in a Swing Concert (history’s first) held at Broadway’s Imperial Theatre. Shaw could scarcely have known that within a short time he would make a hit record of a song called “Begin the Beguine,” which he once jokingly refers to as “a nice little tune from one of Cole Porter’s very few flop shows.” Shortly before that he had hired Billie Holiday as his band vocalist (the first white bandleader to employ a black female singer as a full-time member of his band).

Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. When undertaking our work, Allan and I were aware of the work started by Ted Fa- gan and Bill Moran, in which they intended to account for every recording made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. We decided to take on what we believed was a more practical approach, one that best met the needs of record collectors. Simply stat- ed, Fagan and Moran were describing recordings that were not necessarily published; I believed record collectors were interested in records that were actually available. We decided to account for records found in Victor catalogs, ones that were purchased and found in homes after 1901 as 78rpm discs, many of which have become highly sought- after collector’s items.
