It had made a stunning introduction in I the opening moments to a film called Blackboard Jungle. But at that time my favourite record was one by Lionel Hampton. I was not alone. Me and my three jazz loving friends couldn’t be bothered spending hard-earned cash on rock and roll records. Our quartet consisted of clarinet, drums, bass and vocal. Robert (nickname Orgy) was learning clarinet; Malcolm (Slim) was going to learn drums (which in due course he did under the guidance of Gordon LeCornu, a percussionist and drummer in the days when Sydney still had a thriving show scene); Dave (Bebop) loved the bass; and I was the vocalist a la Joe (Bebop) Lane. We were four of 120 RAAF apprentices undergoing three years boarding school training at Wagga Wagga RAAF Base from 1955-1957. Of course, we never performed together but we dreamt of doing so and luckily, dreaming was not contrary to RAAF regulations.

Eugene Mikell Sr. at M.T. Industrial School, Bordentown, New Jersey, also studied piano and reed instruments before specialising on trumpet. First professional work subbing for June Clark at Small´s (Sugar Cane Club – KBR), New York (late 1925), then played for many bandleaders in New York including: Edgar Dowell, Leon Abbey, Duncan Mayers, Bobby Brown, Bobby Lee, Billy Butler, and Charlie Turner, also worked briefly in McKinney´s Cotton Pickers.

Their value is thus very dependent on their relationships with other reissues of this material - something that is their main weakness. Apart from the general excellence of the music, their main virtue is in their presentation. All the reissues are programmed in chronological order (usually the best way) and all the relevant discographical infor­ mation is supplied (though in the almost unreadable jumble that is common to too many jazz reissues). As a bonus there are also pages of photos and notes that contain an abundance of relevant fact and inte­ resting opinions - (only one incorrect fact stands out concerning Max Roach's recording debut), Overall, the most successful of this series is the one dealing with the earliest music, the KING OLIVER, All of the fifteen Okeh's and four Columbia's are brought together with much better sound than ever before, so that it definitely replaces all previous reissues of this material.

  • Benjamin Francis Webster “Ben” “Frog” “Brute”
    1 The TENORSAX of BENJAMIN FRANCIS WEBSTER “BEN” “FROG” “BRUTE” PART 1 (1931 – 1943) Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: April 13, 2018 2 Born: Kansas City, Missouri, March 27, 1909 Died: Amsterdam, Holland, Sept. 20, 1973 Introduction: Ben Webster was one of the all-time tenor saxophone greats with a long career of more than forty years. He was a favourite from the very first record with Duke Ellington from the early forties, and his music was always fascinating. I wrote his first solography in 1978 in Jazz Solography Series. Later his music appeared in the various ‘History of Jazz Tenor Saxophone’ volumes, including 1959. Later works will appear in due time on Jazz Archeology. He visited Norway several times, and I never forget when my friend Tor Haug served him fish for dinner! Early history: First studied violin, then piano. Attended Wilberforce College. Played piano in a silent-movie house in Amarillo, Texas. First professional work with Bretho Nelson's Band (out of Enid, Oklahoma), then, still on piano with Dutch Campbell's Band. Received early tuition on saxophone from Budd Johnson. Joined "family" band led by W.H. Young (Lester's father) in Campbell Kirkie, New Mexico, toured with the band for three months and began specialising on sax. With Gene Coy's Band on alto and tenor (early 1930), then on tenor with Jap Allen's Band (summer 1930). With Blanche Calloway from April 1931. Then joined Bennie Moten from Winter 1931-32 until early 1933 (including visit to New York). Then joined Willie Bryant's orchestra.

  • A Curriculum for Tuba Performance in a Commercial Brass
    A CURRICULUM FOR TUBA PERFORMANCE IN A COMMERCIAL BRASS QUINTET BY PAUL CARLSON Submitted to the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Doctor of Music, Indiana University December, 2013 Accepted by the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music. ___________________________________ Daniel Perantoni __________________________________ Kyle Adams __________________________________ Jeffrey Nelsen __________________________________ John Rommel ii Preface While a curriculum for any type of performance could be synthesized by theoretical reasoning based upon knowledge of how to learn any new genre or style of music, it is tradition that students turn to leaders in the field to gain insight and knowledge into the specific craft that they wish to pursue. While pure scholarship and study of a repertoire is an excellent way to gain insight into a performance arena, time spent in the field actually performing a certain style of music as a member of a professional ensemble gives a perspective that is intrinsically valuable to a project such as this. In addition to the sources listed in the bibliography and the extensive research done concerning this project, I have been a member of the Dallas Brass Quintet since September of 2010. I currently continue to serve as their tubist. Being a member of this ensemble, which is one of the most active touring commercial styled brass quintets in existence today, has greatly informed me concerning this project in terms of the demands of this type of performance. As I prepared to write this document, I took inventory of the skills and preparation that have allowed me to perform successfully in a commercial brass quintet.
