  • STANLEY FRANK DANCE (K25-28) He Was Born on 15 September
    STANLEY FRANK DANCE (K25-28) He was born on 15 September 1910 in Braintree, Essex. Records were apparently plentiful at Framlingham, so during his time there he was fortunate that the children of local record executives were also in attendance. This gave him the opportunity to hear almost anything that was at hand. By the time he left Framlingham, he and some friends were avid record collectors, going so far as to import titles from the United States that were unavailable in England. By the time of his death, he had been writing about jazz longer than anyone had. He had served as book editor of JazzTimes from 1980 until December 1998, and was still contributing book and record reviews to that publication. At the time of his death he was also still listed as a contributor to Jazz Journal International , where his column "Lightly And Politely" was a feature for many years. He also wrote for The New York Herald- Tribune, The Saturday Review Of Literature and Music Journal, among many other publications. He wrote a number of books : The Jazz Era (1961); The World of Duke Ellington (1970); The Night People with Dicky Wells (1971); The World of Swing (1974); The World of Earl Hines (1977); Duke Ellington in Person: An Intimate Memoir with Mercer Ellington (1978); The World of Count Basie (1980); and Those Swinging Years with Charlie Barnet (1984). When John Hammond began writing for The Gramophone in 1931 he turned everything upside down and Stanley began corresponding with Hammond and they met for the first time during Hammond's trip to England in 1935.

    Title of Collection: Jimmy and Jeannie Cheatham Audiovisual Collection Reference Code: US-MoKcUMS-MSA149 Repository: Marr Sound Archives UMKC Miller Nichols Library 800 E. 51st Street Kansas City, MO 64110 Creator: Cheatham, Jimmy and Jeannie Biographical History: Jeannie and Jimmy Cheatham and the Sweet Baby Blues Band played in the Kansas City blues style at its best. Jeannie Cheatham’s musical style was shaped in the church choir in Akron, Ohio. She began to study piano when she was five and went on to play in the school band. She and Jimmy Cheatham taught at the University of Wisconsin before moving to San Diego in 1978. Jimmy Cheatham retired as Professor Emeritus status in 1993 from the University of California at San Diego as Professor of Music. Jimmy was such a valuable resource, however, that UCSD officials hired him back immediately to continue in his role as Jazz Ensemble Director. In 1993, Jimmy and the UCSD Jazz Ensemble were selected by the San Diego Music Awards Committee for Best Jazz Ensemble. The Cheathams and the Sweet Baby Blues Band were voted as the Best Jazz Band in the area by the same group. Jimmy taught Improvisation and Black Music History and was the Director of UCSD’s Jazz Program during his active teaching years. Over the years, he played bass trombone with Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Thad Jones and Ornette Coleman, and was Musical Director for Chico Hamilton. He arranged all the songs for the Sweet Baby Blues Band and co-wrote with his wife, Jeannie, most of their original songs.
