  • He Song Is Audrey! One of the Brightest Emerging Stars in Jazz
    A Bio "..Wow! Audrey Shimkas, she can REALLY SING!" he song is Audrey! --Jules Broussard, S F Bay Area jazz One of the brightest emerging legend stars in jazz today. She’s a captivating performer with a singular sound and style, pioneering her own path as a uniquely placed artist. T Anyone who has ever heard Audrey sing responds to her warmth, her sensuality and her emotional expression. Audrey is a singer’s singer who takes risks. She surprises and thrills with notes that push a melody to new heights. Audrey’s choice of material is eclectic and fascinating; she improvises unique transformations inside familiar jazz tunes; introduces fresh interpretations of favorite pop tunes and melts into Brazilian rhythms as if she were inside the song itself. When Audrey interprets a song—whether it’s a ballad-story or an up-tempo romp; a blues lament or a Latin groove; a swing standard or a soul oldie--the experience is always fresh and exciting. Long before Audrey thought about being a vocal artist, she recalls that at a young age she was mesmerized by June Christy in concert. That experience remained a cameo, locked in her imagination, until music began to play a serious part of her life. A native of New York, Audrey was classically trained on piano; she played acoustic folk and electric rhythm guitar during the folk- rock generation of Dylan and the Beatles. She studied dance (ballet and jazz) and acting (ACT, Actor’s Workshop, etc.) and spent several years on stage in New York and in San Francisco.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking: or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Nicknamed “Mr. Bass Trombone” for his role as a prominent, trailblazing recording artist, George Roberts (b. 1928) has often been recognized as redefining the role of the bass trombone in popular music as well as setting new standards for technical refinement and expressive possibilities of the instrument. Through two interviews and a comparison between ten recorded performances by Roberts and corresponding lead sheets, I make observations about Roberts’ performance techniques and illustrate various examples of those techniques. The document includes 35 pp. of interview transcriptions. Copyright 2006 by Jonathan K. Yeager ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank those who assisted in the preparation of this document.

Hackett had been playing music since he was about eight years old. “His first instrument was the violin. Then on to banjo & guitar!,” his son, Ernie, reminded me. “Later he switched over to trumpet & landed on cornet!” Hackett played with various groups at restaurants, hotels, ballrooms across the northeast, and in 1935 received his Musicians Union card from Local 9-535 in Boston. He formed his own group, a small band, not long afterwards, and in 1938 began recording under his own name for the Vocalion label, employing, on various dates, such sidemen as George Brunies (trombone), Brad Gowans (valve trombone), Pee Wee Russell (clarinet), Ernie Caceres (baritone sax), Eddie Condon (guitar), Johnny Blowers (drums), and Linda Keene (vocal).

  • HA-Bio New 2010
    Howard Alden- Jazz Guitarist “He may be the best of his generation,” writes Owen Cordle in JAZZ TIMES. George Kanzler of the NEWARK STAR LEDGER proclaims that he is “the most impressive and creative member of a new generation of jazz guitarists.” And Chip Deffaa of the NEW YORK POST observes that he is “ ...one of the very finest young guitarists working today.” It seems that the only thing regarding Howard Alden on which the critics have debate is whether the remarkable jazz guitarist is one of the best or simply the best. Born in Newport Beach, California, in 1958, Howard began playing at age ten, inspired by recordings of Louis Armstrong, Count Basie and Benny Goodman, as well as those by guitarists Barney Kessel, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt and George Van Eps. Soon he was working professionally around Los Angeles playing in groups ranging from traditional to mainstream to modern jazz. In 1979, Alden went east, for a summer in Atlantic City with vibraphone legend Red Norvo, and continued to perform with him frequently for several years. Upon moving to New York City in 1982, Aldenʼs skills, both as soloist and accompanist, were quickly recognized and sought-out for appearances and recordings with such artists as Joe Bushkin, Ruby Braff, Joe Williams, Warren Vache` and Woody Herman. He has continued to win accolades from critics and musicians alike, adding Benny Carter, Flip Phillips, Mel Powell, Bud Freeman, Kenny Davern, Clark Terry, Dizzy Gillespie and George Van Eps, as well as notable contemporaries such as Scott Hamilton and Ken Peplowski to his list of impressive credits.

  • Stu Davis: Canada's Cowboy Troubadour
    Stu Davis: Canada’s Cowboy Troubadour by Brock Silversides Stu Davis was an immense presence on Western Canada’s country music scene from the late 1930s to the late 1960s. His is a name no longer well-known, even though he was continually on the radio and television waves regionally and nationally for more than a quarter century. In addition, he released twenty-three singles, twenty albums, and published four folios of songs: a multi-layered creative output unmatched by most of his contemporaries. Born David Stewart, he was the youngest son of Alex Stewart and Magdelena Fawns. They had emigrated from Scotland to Saskatchewan in 1909, homesteading on Twp. 13, Range 15, west of the 2nd Meridian.1 This was in the middle of the great Regina Plain, near the town of Francis.
