  • Glenn Miller 1939 the Year He Found the Sound
    GLENN MILLER 1939 THE YEAR HE FOUND THE SOUND Dedicated to the Glenn Miller Birthpace Society June 2019 Prepared by: Dennis M. Spragg Glenn Miller Archives Alton Glenn Miller (1904-1944) From Glenn Miller Declassified © 2017 Dennis M. Spragg Sound Roots Glenn Miller was one of the foremost popular music celebrities of the twentieth century. The creative musician and successful businessman was remarkably intuitive and organized, but far from perfect. His instincts were uncanny, although like any human being, he made mistakes. His record sales, radio popularity, and box-office success at theaters and dance halls across the nation were unsurpassed. He had not come to fame and fortune without struggle and was often judgmental and stubborn. He had remarkable insight into public taste and was not afraid to take risks. To understand Miller is to appreciate his ideals and authenticity, essential characteristics of a prominent man who came from virtually nothing. He sincerely believed he owed something to the nation he loved and the fellow countrymen who bought his records. The third child of Lewis Elmer Miller and Mattie Lou Cavender, Alton Glen Miller was born March 1, 1904, at 601 South 16th Street in Clarinda, a small farming community tucked in the southwest corner of Iowa. Miller’s middle name changed to Glenn several years later in Nebraska. His father was an itinerant carpenter, and his mother taught school. His older brother, Elmer Deane, was a dentist. In 1906 Miller’s father took his family to the harsh sand hills of Tryon, Nebraska, near North Platte. The family moved to Hershey, Nebraska, in the fall of 1912 and returned to North Platte in July 1913, where Glenn’s younger siblings John Herbert and Emma Irene were born.

  • Red Nichols from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Red Nichols From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Ernest Loring "Red" Nichols the hood man Born May 8, 1905 Ogden, Utah, US Died June 28, 1965 (aged 60) The Mint Las Vegas Genres Jazz Occupation(s) Musician, bandleader, composer Instruments Cornet Associated acts California Ramblers, Paul Whiteman Ernest Loring "Red" Nichols (May 8, 1905 – June 28, 1965) was an American jazz cornettist, composer, and jazz bandleader. Over his long career, Nichols recorded in a wide variety of musical styles, and critic Steve Leggett describes him as "an expert cornet player, a solid improviser, and apparently a workaholic, since he is rumored to have appeared on over 4,000 recordings during the 1920s alone." Biography Early life and career Nichols was born on May 8, 1905 in Ogden, Utah. His father was a college music professor, and Nichols was a child prodigy, because by twelve he was already playing difficult set pieces for his father's brass band. Young Nichols heard the early recordings of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, and later those of Bix Beiderbecke, and these had a strong influence on the young cornet player. His style became polished, clean and incisive. In the early 1920s, Nichols moved to the Midwest and joined a band called The Syncopating Seven. When that band broke up he joined the Johnny Johnson Orchestra and went with it to New York City in 1923. New York would remain his base for years thereafter. In New York he met and teamed up with trombonist Miff Mole, and the two of them were inseparable for the next decade.

  • Jazz Messenger
    Jazz Messenger -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August, 2016 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ATJS Jazz Messenger is circulated mostly by e-mail, and is published as we have an important message or gather enough material to assemble a new issue. The 2016-17 season is upon us, as good an occasion as any to crank out a new issue. -------------------------------------------------------- President’s Message The 2016-17 ATJS season is about to begin. It looks like a good one, with a strong run of good area traditional jazz bands leading up to an exciting concert by a Dallas jazz band in May and our usual rousing ATJS All-Star concert in June. As always, we want everyone with an interest in traditional jazz to come to Cap City Comedy Club, have a good time, and help keep the wonderful music that is traditional jazz alive and well in the Greater Austin Area. The 2015-16 season had some highs and lows. The highs included the music. We had a very good selection of bands, highlighted by fine shows by the Thrift Set Orchestra, the Mission City Hot Rhythm Cats and the 2016 ATJS All-Stars. Our new band for the season was the fine young jazz ensemble, the Dirty River Dixie Band from the San Antonio area. The ATJS Jam Session drew over 200 onlookers and players. Attendance at ATJS events has been erratic in recent years, a continuing concern for an organization holding concerts in a venue which will comfortably hold 300 patrons. Cap City Comedy Club has been a good home for ATJS for ten seasons, and we want to stay put.

  • THE INFLUENCE of BIX BEIDERBECKE – VOLUME ONE: USA by Max Easterman Even Though It Became Known As “The Jazz Age”, Real Ja
    THE INFLUENCE OF BIX BEIDERBECKE – VOLUME ONE: USA By Max Easterman Even though it became known as “The Jazz Age”, real jazz was rarely popular in its own right during the 1920s, as witness the rarity of many of the finest jazz recordings from this era. Jazzmen – particularly white jazzmen – made much more money and often won greater fame using it to pep up dance music than they ever did making pure jazz recordings, though, of course, it’s by the jazz they played on records that we now judge their worth. Such is the distorting mirror of history! Of course, to the general public of the time, arranged dance music played with a rhythmic bounce and offering the occasional jazz-like solo was what they thought of as “jazz”. Two recordings suffice to illustrate the point. The recording of Paul Whiteman’s Back In Your Own Backyard , issued in March 1928, sold 88,000 copies; Bix’s recording of Somebody Stole My Gal , recorded a few weeks later, made sales of only 2400. The first is a highly arranged dance band recording containing just two short solos by Bix; the latter is a romping jazz gem, on which Bix flies like a bird throughout and inspires his fellows to greater things than they knew they were capable of. Bix was a legend in his lifetime for the men who played with him, or listened to him and tried to play like him. But for the general public, who bought the discs, he was just another name, a name which only became significant, for some of them, long after his death.

  • (Jack) Teagarden, Jazz Musician, Known Also As Jackson T., Mr
    Weldon Leo (Jack) Teagarden Weldon Leo (Jack) Teagarden, jazz musician, known also as Jackson T., Mr. T, and Big Gate, was born in Vernon, Texas, on August 20, 1905, to Charles and Helen (Geinger) Teagarden. His father, an amateur comet player, worked in the oilfields, and his mother was a local piano instructor and church organist. All four Teagarden children became prominent musicians. Jack was given piano lessons when he reached the age of five. He took up the baritone horn for a time but switched to trombone when he was seven. He and his mother played duets (trombone and piano) as background to the silent films at a Vemon theater. In 1918, after his father's death, the family moved to Chappell, Nebraska, where he and his mother again worked in the local theater. The following year the family moved to Oklahoma City. At sixteen Teagarden first played the trombone professionally, at a concert near San Antonio as a member of Cotton Bailey's dance and jazz band. Later the same year (1921) Teagarden joined Peck Kelley's Bad Boys in Houston. Visiting band leader Paul Whiteman heard the group there and offered Teagarden a position in his New York orchestra. For several years, however, Jack continued to play with local groups. About 1923 he briefly attempted to enter the oilfield business in Wichita Falls but soon gave up the venture and returned to music. Teagarden made his first trip to New York in 1926 as a performer on the eastern tour of Doc Ross's Jazz Bandits. The next year he went to New York on his own.

  • Hoagy Carmichael's Riverboat Shuffle
    Hoagy Carmichael’s Riverboat Shuffle Selected Recordings & Copyright Issues By Albert Haim and Robert Spoo Introduction On May 6, 1924, the seven members of the ‘Wolverine Orchestra’ went to the Gennett Recording Studios in Richmond, IN and waxed four numbers: Oh Baby!, Copenhagen, Riverboat Shuffle, and Susie. Riverboat Shuffle is the first Hoagy Carmichael composition that was ever recorded and soon became a jazz standard. Lord’s discography lists nearly 400 recordings between 1924 and 2015. We provide herein information about early recordings of the song and some intriguing aspects in the chronology of its copyrights. The ‘Wolverine Orchestra’.
