    JULY 2016 BIG BAND NEWS COMPILED BY MUSIC LIBRARIAN CHRISTOPHER POPA WELCOME BACK, in this issue: THE GREAT ESCAPE! The Great Escape! returns Recently I was happy to see that Bob Knack new swing and sweet and friends have returned with issue no.32 of compact discs The Great Escape! The online newsletter gets itineraries for The its name from a quotation from Woody Herman, Count Basie and Glenn who said, “Anything that is good jazz is a great Miller Orchestras escape. When you’re involved in playing or birthdays listening to great jazz, no one can get to you.” I was worried that, because there had been a long delay since the previous issue of The Great Escape!, perhaps there would be no more. Each issue always has interesting articles, facts, trivia, letters, and opinions. Some of my favorite articles have included remembrances of the legendary bandleaders, their sidemen, and singers. For example, among the variety of big band vocalists you’ll run across are Martha Tilton, Lynn,Roberts, Buddy Hughes, Walt Andrus, Bea Wain, Gail Reese, Lynn Allison, Fran Warren, and Jack Leonard, to name a few. Do you recognize their names and know of the bands they sang with? Besides Mr. Knack, over the years many knowledgeable people have written for The Great Escape! A sampling would include Perry Huntoon, George Spink, Phil Holdman, Joe Carlton, Chuck Sengstock, Warren Ketter, Larry Maloney, Dick Parker, Ray Krysl, John Macek, Dennis DiBlasio, Bill Spilka, Dick Parker, Karl Kountz, Joe Spery, and Phil McCurnin. All this good started with “The Browsers,” a radio program dedicated to the big bands.

    BIG BAND JUMP NEWSLETTER VOLUME XXIX BIG BAND JUMP NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 1993 HENRY MANCINI INTERVIEW THE BACKGROUND The promotion people put us in touch with Henry Mancini as part of the advertising campaign for a concert tour he was making at the time. He talked on a “live” local radio program with Don Kennedy. Mancini and Kennedy grew up within twelve miles of each other in the steel-making area of Western Pennsylvania, just thirty miles from Pittsburgh, although separated in time by half a generation. Mancini was a contemporary of Kennedy’s older musician brothers, so there were some common memories tied with the stories of his early years playing in steel-town beer joints. THE SCENE Unlike some celebrities of Henry Mancini’s stature, the Mancini at work. interview wasn’t difficult to arrange. He is so approach­ able and unaffected by his success, however, that he has BBJ: What kind of musical experience did you have a tendency to be off-hand with his answers, resulting in there? an interview with shorter answers and in some instances less depth than most musical celebrities. Mancini’s HM: Every kind! (Laughs) I started playing flute when answer to a couple of questions was something such as I was a kid, when my Dad gave one to me. He was a flute “Oh, sure.” Some of those one and two word answers player, too. That was at the age of eight, and then I were edited out in places where Kennedy’s persistence started playing piano about eleven and then took up eventually resulted in a longer, more meaningful answer, arranging on my own at about fourteen.

  • A Portrait of Glenn Miller
    A PORTRAIT OF GLENN MILLER Alton Glenn Miller (1904-1944) Produced by: DENNIS M. SPRAGG Updated April 2018 1 Alton Glenn Miller, 1904-1944 Produced by Dennis M. Spragg, with commentary from the GMA George T. Simon (1912-2001) Collection and Papers, Edward F. Polic Papers and Christopher Way Collection. Foreword By Harry Lillis “Bing” Crosby (1904-1977) “As the years go by, I am increasingly grateful that I was a tiny part of the era of the great swing bands. This was the golden age of popular music for me. They were all great, but I have to think that the Glenn Miller band was the greatest. Unlike so many of the others, Glenn was not a virtuoso instrumental soloist. And so instead of his horn he did it with great personnel and innovative harmonic experiments producing a sound that was his and his alone. Glenn employed a harmonization that was new and vastly different. If I even attempted a description of what he did, I would be immediately adrift. I think it was the way he voiced his instruments. It was just beautiful. And when you heard the sound, it was recognizable and memorable. It was just Glenn Miller. Glenn as a person was just as memorable. He was a very good personal friend, from the early days on, ever since he performed on some of the records I made with the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra during the early stages of my career. During World War II we were united for the last time, when I sang in London with his great AAF Orchestra.
