  • The Changing Face of Harlem – the Savoy Sessions Dan Morgenstern Grammy Award for Best Album Notes 1976
    The Changing Face of Harlem – The Savoy Sessions Dan Morgenstern Grammy Award for Best Album Notes 1976 The history of jazz is often told in terms of geography—a journey from New Orleans to Chicago to Kansas City to New York, and from there, throughout the world. Like any generalization, this way of outlining the music's development has its shortcomings. New York had been a jazz landmark long before it became the chief incubator of a new style eventually called bebop. And for jazz purposes, New York in the main meant Harlem, the largest (and once most glamorous) black metropolis outside Africa. In the '20s, Harlem was practically the entertainment capital of America, if not the western world. “The world's most glamorous atmosphere .... Why, it's just like Arabian Nights,” said young Duke Ellington when first confronted with its splendors in 1923. To the contemporary mind, conditioned to think of Harlem as a “ghetto,” a vast slum, a breeding ground for social ills, this may seem like fantasy. But even today, there are fine streets and houses in Harlem, there is the Apollo Theater (the last remaining bastion of a once proud show business tradition), there are places to eat and drink well, and places to hear music. But sadly, for every one of the latter, there were a couple of dozen in Harlem‘s heyday. These ranged from basement clubs and unpretentious saloons that might feature a piano player and/or a singer to such elaborate operations as the Cotton Club, with its especially composed, staged and choreographed revues featuring the best in black talent and catering exclusively to whites (black show people were allowed to watch).

  • Oran Thaddeus Page “Hot Lips”
    1 The TRUMPET of ORAN THADDEUS PAGE “HOT LIPS” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last updated: March 31, 2020, April 28, 2021 2 Born: Dallas, Texas, Jan. 27, 1908 Died: NYC. Nov. 5, 1954 Introduction: Hot Lips Page was for unknown reasons rather marginally recognized in my Oslo Jazz Circle upbringing, and only later I opened my ears to his fine trumpet playing! Dan Morgenstern’s various liner notes helped a lot too! History: First music lessons from his mother, a former school-teacher. Early efforts on clarinet and saxophone, specialised on trumpet from the age of 12. Joined kids’ band led by bass drummer Lux Alexander. Left music temporarily, attended high school in Corsicana,Texas, left to do manual work in Seminole oil fields in Texas. Became regular member of band accompanying Ma Ra iney, made first visit to New York with Ma Rainey for bookings at the Lincoln Theatre. Worked with a T.O.B.A. circuit touring band, accompanied Bessie Smith, Ida Cox, etc. Joined Troy Floyd Band in San Antonio, also worked in Texas with Sugar Lou and Eddie’s Hotel Tyler Band. Was heard with this band by bassist Walter Page (no relation) and subsequently joined the Blue Devils band early in 1928. Left the band in 1930 to join Bennie Moten’s band, worked mainly with Moten until 1935, after that leader’s death (April 1935) led own quintet in and around Kansas City. Worked as a specialty act with Count Basie at the Reno Club, Kansas City (1936), was signed by manager Joe Glaser and moved to New York.

  • Geechie“ Fields
    THE RECORDINGS OF JULIUS „GEECHIE“ FIELDS An Annotated Tentative Personello-Discography Fields, “Geechie” Julius, trombone, born: Georgia, c. 1903. Was raised in the Jenkins Orphanage, South Carolina, taught trombone by Gene ‘Buddy’ Aiken and Jake Frazier, did regular tours with the Orphanage Band, Settled in New York and worked for various leaders at John O´Connor´s Club (c. 1924). With Earle Howard´s Band at Strand Danceland (late 1926), rejoined Howard briefly in 1927. With Charlie Skeete (1929), Bill Benford´s Band (late 1929-30). Recorded with Jelly Roll Morton in 1928 and 1930; was once married to vocaliste Myra Johnson. Left full-time music in the 1930s, later became a boxing coach and trainer for an athletics club in New York. (John Chilton, Who´s Who of Jazz) STYLISTICS STYLE Fields´ trombone style is – above all – known for his excessive and sometimes rather weird and “primitive” growl playing on Morton´s recordings. This fact obviously led many early researchers/listeners to the conclusion that – whenever a trombonist appeared playing growl outside of the Ellington band – it had to be Geechie Fields. Yet, on some of the few sides he played on outside of the Morton circle he plays in a very cultivated and elegant melodic style, although he is equipped to play powerful stomping in staccato in some later Morton titles. For my estimation, he yet belongs to the group of legato players when suited. Thus, he certainly was a versatile and strong player, unfortunately greatly overlooked in his abilities by the public. For all his earlier assumed recordings with Clarence Williams we have found that this man most probably is George Washington – then with Charlie Johnson – or Henry Hicks in one case.
