  • CATALOGUE WELCOME to NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS and NAXOS NOSTALGIA, Twin Compendiums Presenting the Best in Vintage Popular Music
    NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS/NOSTALGIA CATALOGUE WELCOME TO NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS AND NAXOS NOSTALGIA, twin compendiums presenting the best in vintage popular music. Following in the footsteps of Naxos Historical, with its wealth of classical recordings from the golden age of the gramophone, these two upbeat labels put the stars of yesteryear back into the spotlight through glorious new restorations that capture their true essence as never before. NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS documents the most vibrant period in the history of jazz, from the swinging ’20s to the innovative ’40s. Boasting a formidable roster of artists who forever changed the face of jazz, Naxos Jazz Legends focuses on the true giants of jazz, from the fathers of the early styles, to the queens of jazz vocalists and the great innovators of the 1940s and 1950s. NAXOS NOSTALGIA presents a similarly stunning line-up of all-time greats from the golden age of popular entertainment. Featuring the biggest stars of stage and screen performing some of the best- loved hits from the first half of the 20th century, this is a real treasure trove for fans to explore. RESTORING THE STARS OF THE PAST TO THEIR FORMER GLORY, by transforming old 78 rpm recordings into bright-sounding CDs, is an intricate task performed for Naxos by leading specialist producer-engineers using state-of-the-art-equipment. With vast personal collections at their disposal, as well as access to private and institutional libraries, they ensure that only the best available resources are used. The records are first cleaned using special equipment, carefully centred on a heavy-duty turntable, checked for the correct playing speed (often not 78 rpm), then played with the appropriate size of precision stylus.

Benny Goodman: From “King of Swing” to Third Stream. Thesis submitted to the Graduate College of Marshall University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music. by Jae Ellis Bull Dr. Vicki Stroeher, Committee Chairperson Dr. Marshall Onofrio, Dr. Donald Williams Marshall University August 2006 ABSTRACT Benny Goodman: From “King of Swing” to Third Stream. By Jae Ellis Bull Clarinetist and band leader Benny Goodman was born in the Chicago slums in 1909. He first played in dance bands and eventually organized his own band, which became so popular that he was known as the "King of Swing." As a clarinetist, he also was attracted to classical music, particularly the clarinet music of Mozart, Debussy and Brahms. Gunther Schuller, describing Goodman's ability to play in both jazz and classical styles said, "In a sense, Benny was the first Third Stream musician, moving easily in and out of jazz and classical music, from the Palomar Ballroom to Carnegie Hall..."1 This paper explores Goodman's musical career in both the classical and jazz worlds, defines the term “Third Stream” and describes how Benny Goodman fits this term.

    CHAPTER SIX: “IN THE MOOD”: THE SWING ERA, 1935–1945 Chapter Outline I. Swing Music and American Culture A. The Swing Era: 1935–45 1. Beginning in 1935, a new style of jazz-inspired music called “swing” transformed American popular music. 2. Initially developed in the late 1920s by black dance bands in New York, Chicago, and Kansas City 3. The word “swing” (like “jazz,” “blues,” and “rock ’n’ roll”) derives from African American English. a) First used as a verb for the fluid, rocking rhythmic momentum created by well-played music, the term was used by extension to refer to an emotional state characterized by a sense of freedom, vitality, and enjoyment. b) References to “swing” and “swinging” are common in the titles and lyrics of jazz records made during the 1920s and early 1930s. c) Around 1935, the music industry began to use “swing” as a proper noun—the name of a defined musical genre. 4. Between 1935 and 1945, hundreds of large dance orchestras directed by celebrity bandleaders dominated the national hit parade: 1 CHAPTER SIX: “IN THE MOOD”: THE SWING ERA, 1935–1945 a) Benny Goodman b) Tommy Dorsey c) Duke Ellington d) Count Basie e) Glenn Miller 5. These big bands appeared nightly on radio, their performances transmitted coast to coast from hotels and ballrooms in the big cities. 6. Their music was featured on jukeboxes. 7. Many of the bands crisscrossed the country in buses, playing for dances and concerts at local dance halls, theaters, and colleges. 8. The big bands were essentially a big-city phenomenon, a symbol of sophistication and modernity.

  • About Benny Goodman 1909 – 1986
    About Benny Goodman 1909 – 1986 Benny Goodman grew from the humblest of beginnings to earn the well-deserved title “King of Swing” for his contribution to bringing jazz into the commercial mainstream. He was one of 12 children of Jewish immigrants, raising their children in a three story tenement building in a Chicago ghetto. Mr. Goodman took his boys to the free band concerts in Douglas Park and built into them an appreciation for band music. When the local synagogue began lending out instruments and giving lessons for 25 cents a week, Benny was on his way to leaning to play the clarinet. Benny showed exceptional talent and went on to private lessons. By age 14 he was supplementing the family income by playing in the dance halls of Chicago’s south side. By age 15 he had dropped out of school and was playing professionally, and at age 16, he traveled with the Ben Pollack band to Los Angeles and settled in California. In 1934, at age 25, he moved to New York and put together his own band, and the “Swing Era” was born. He headlined on a new radio program called “Let’s Dance” which broadcast from New York all night long. The Big Band sound gained national exposure and Benny Goodman played to sold-out houses in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and cities in between. In 1938 he achieved his dream of playing Carnegie Hall, and the live recording of that concert became one of the best selling jazz albums of all time. Benny Goodman never looked back.
