The subscription list for the BBJ NEWSLETTER has dwindled to the crossover point; not enough subscribers left to maintain the newsletter. This diminished readership has been expected, but our hope was enough younger readers would express interest to keep the numbers at a viable point. That hasn’t happened. The shrinking subscription list and the new postage rates have combined to make continued publication of the BBJ NEWSLETTER impractical, and this first issue of the 25th year of publication will be the final issue. You won’t be getting the issues remaining on your subscription, but we’ve prepared a special 80 minute memory CD for you with brief comments from key Big Band personality interviews through the years followed by one or two top recordings from each performer. If you wish to receive this specially produced CD, please return the center yellow sheet with your name and address, or phone 1-800-377-0022. For those of you who remained with us to this point, our deepest thanks on two levels: Your continued interest in the Great Music of America and your support for this publication reflecting the time in America when musical quality and public taste came together. In youth it was easy to dismiss the pronouncement of wise men who said, “Nothing is forever.” Unfortunately they were right. The BIG BAND JUMP radio program, however, will continue as always, both on radio and the internet. INTERVIEW - GEORGIE AULD T enor sax man Georgie Auld is one of those players who is better known by musicians than the general public, yet he appeared with top bands in his career, even leading his own bands along the way. He was with the musically interesting but financially challenged Bunny Berigan band in 1937 and 1938, then moved to the highly successful Artie Shaw band in 1939. It was Georgie Auld who briefly inherited the Artie Shaw band that year when the ever peripatetic Shaw suddenly went to Mexico, soon returning to the Big Band business. After a stint with Benny Goodman Auld returned to the Shaw band in 1942, then led his own band from 1943 to 1946. There were other Auld bands and small groups along the way, including a short tenure with the Basie octet in 1950. Georgie Auld led some smaller groups after the Big Band Era, some in the bop idiom but he was always a colorful player and personality who often carried his love of jazz overseas.

  • 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.

    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links.
