Extract from Chapter Four: When You Grow Up, Little Lady
Extract From Chapter Four: When You Grow Up, Little Lady In the summer of 1934, Lew took the band on the road again, and they played to sell-out audiences in Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Portsmouth and Nottingham, where Tiny Winters recalled that „people were scrambling for autographs in the interval, it was a near-riot. It really did bring home to us how people felt about the band.‟ When Al Bowlly sang, the dancers stopped dancing, and clustered ten-deep in front of the band-stand. In Bradford, he left the stage during an instrumental number, and was besieged by girls. He couldn‟t fight his way back to the microphone in time for his next vocal, and the band had to fill in for 32 bars. In that same year, Bowlly went to the USA, with Bill Harty, to sing with a new Ray Noble band. Alan Kane became the band‟s regular vocalist, while Jock Jacobson took over the drummer‟s stool. Albert Harris joined as guitarist, and Stanley Black was now on piano. In February 1935 the new band opened at the Hollywood Restaurant in Piccadilly. In March, trumpeter Nat Gonella left, to launch his career as a band-leader, with a smaller jazzier ensemble - The Georgians. Tommy McQuater took his place. At the Holborn Empire, Lew Stone made his debut as a comedian, with a languidly elegant rendering of the comedy song „Algernon Whifflesnoop John‟, complete with monocle, and supported by trumpeter Alfie Noakes as his obsequious butler. His deadpan vocal delivery also enhanced „The Gentleman Obviously Doesn‟t Believe‟, „Knock Knock‟, and most memorably „I‟ll be-BBCing You‟. -

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. -

June 6th 1935, because he and his band sure had a busy day! Back then, because of the depression, it is said that He and his Rhythm Makers Orchestra went into the studio and in transcriptions actually outsold 78 RPM records.

Ko Ko”-- Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, and Others (1945) Added to the National Registry: 2002 Essay by Ed Komara (Guest Post)*
“Ko Ko”-- Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, and others (1945) Added to the National Registry: 2002 Essay by Ed Komara (guest post)* Charlie Parker Original label “Ko Ko” was Charlie Parker’s signature jazz piece, conceived during his apprenticeship with Kansas City bands and hatched in the after-hours clubs of New York City. But when “Ko Ko” was first released by Savoy Records in early 1946, it seemed more like a call for musical revolution than a result of evolution. “Ko Ko” was developed from a musical challenge that, from 1938 through 1945, confounded many jazzmen. The piece uses the chord structure of “Cherokee,” an elaborate, massive composition that was written by dance-band composer Ray Noble. “Cherokee” was the finale to a concept suite on Native American tribes, the other four movements being “Comanche War Dance,” “Iroquois,” “Sioux Sue,” and “Seminole.” If a standard blues is notated in 12-measures, and a pop song like George Gershwin’s “I Got Rhythm” is in 32 measures, Noble’s “Cherokee” is in 64 measures. In 1939, Charlie Barnet popularized “Cherokee” through a hit version for RCA Victor. Meanwhile, jazz musicians noticed the piece, and they tried clumsily to improvise solos to its chord progression. Count Basie, for one, with his Kansas City band, recorded “Cherokee” in February 1939. At the time, Basie had some of the best soloists in jazz like Lester Young, Ed Lewis, and Dicky Wells. But on this record, these four musicians improvised only during the A sections, leaving the very difficult “bridge” sections (measures 33-48 of the piece) to be played by the whole band. -

The Jazz Scene”—Various Artists (1949) Added to the National Registry: 2007 Essay by Tad Hershorn (Guest Post)*
“The Jazz Scene”—Various artists (1949) Added to the National Registry: 2007 Essay by Tad Hershorn (guest post)* Original album cover When “The Jazz Scene” was released in 1950, Norman Granz had significantly reshaped the jazz world in his image. Jazz historian and senior “Down Beat” editor John McDonough emphatically summed up Granz’s achievements when he wrote, “Two mavericks changed the face of jazz in the 1940s. Charlie Parker changed the way it was played. Norman Granz changed the way it was sold.” By this time, Granz’s popular seasonal national tours of Jazz at the Philharmonic (JATP), jam session concerts of jazz superstars, had gone on since 1945 after their debut in his hometown of Los Angeles the previous year. In 1949, Ella Fitzgerald joined JATP in what turned out to be a nearly 45-year relationship with Granz, who both managed her career and had her recording contract. Oscar Peterson began a similar long-term relationship with Granz when he joined JATP in 1950, when Granz likewise managed and recorded him over the decades. Granz also distinguished himself as an unyielding champion of racial justice, who had anti-segregation clauses in his contracts from the very beginning, and also offered top pay, travel and accommodations for those working for him. Two years later the jazz impresario began annual tours of Europe, where JATP proved to be as popular there as it had been in the United States. In 1953, Granz and his tours and recordings on his independent labels were beginning to crest. Around 500,000 people packed his concerts worldwide, including tours of Europe and Japan, while he also produced half the jazz records in the United States. -
