    JUKEBOX JAZZ by Ian Muldoon* ____________________________________________________ n 1955 Bill Haley’s Rock Around the Clock was the first rock and roll record to become number one on the hit parade. 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.

  • ROCK'n'roll's 1ST DECADE Week
    ROCK'N'ROLL’S 1ST DECADE Week One: The Roots of Rock Recommended Listening: The Delmore Brothers, Freight Train Boogie (Ace, 1993). Country-boogie songs from 1946-51 by this brother duo, whose more uptempo material was not only some of the finest country music of the era, but an important building block of rockabilly and early rock & roll. Fats Domino, The Early Imperial Singles 1950-1952 (Ace, 1996 & 1997). Thorough collections of the first few years or so of singles by the most important early New Orleans rock'n'roll star, whose singles of the early 1950s weren't all that different from the pop hits he had after rock took off. The Drifters, Let the Boogie-Woogie Roll: Greatest Hits 1953-1958 (Atlantic, 1988). Perhaps the most consistent, and certainly one of the most important, of the doo wop groups that had their first success prior to 1955. This has their mid-1950s R&B hits, some of them featuring lead singer Clyde McPhatter. The Drifters who had numerous early soul hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s had entirely different personnel, and were linked to this version of the group only by the trademark name. Bill Haley & His Comets, Rock the Joint! The Original Essex Recordings 1951-1954 (Rollercoaster, 1992). Bill Haley & His Comets were the first white band to fuse rhythm and blues with country music into something recognizable as rock'n'roll, and were doing so for four years before "Rock Around the Clock" became the first huge rock hit. This has those early recordings, including one from 1952 ("Rock the Joint") quite similar to "Rock Around the Clock," and his first single to become a Top Twenty pop hit, 1953's "Crazy, Man, Crazy." John Lee Hooker, The Legendary Modern Recordings 1948- 1954 (Flair/Virgin, 1993).

  • Bill Haley Declared As the Battle Raged Over the Lyrics of |Those Newfangledrhythm-And-Blues- Based Pop Hits
    | ‘We steer clear o fanything suggestive, ’ ‘ Bill Haley declared as the battle raged over the lyrics of |those newfangled rhythm-and-blues- based pop hits. Haley’s version of ' ‘Shake, R a ttle and R o ll’ ‘ was one o f the tunes in question, since it happened to be sweeping the nation. Of course, most of the good stuff from the lyrics o f Big Joe Turner’s original rendition had been removed or changed - lines like ' ‘Well, you wear low dresses/The sun comes shining through/I can’t believe my eyes/That all this belongs to you. ’ ’ As Haley explained, ‘ ‘We take a lot o f care with lyrics because we don’t want to offend anybody. The m usic is the m ain thing. ’ ’ He was right about the music: it was the way he played the tune that made ‘ ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll’ ’ a landmark success. Haley was BOBBY “ BLUE” BLAND trying to streamline the beat, to make it easy for an audience to dance, clap and sing along. In songs he composed himself, like “Crazy, Man, Crazy, ’ ’ Haley deliberately used simple BOBBY BARIN phrases o f teen slang to g et his message across better. Haley had hit the road at age nineteen with a country and western combo called the Downhomers. He then became musical director o f the Saddlemen, performing on the air with them in a regular gig at a Chester, Pennsylvania, radio station. He tried to bring d ifferen t sounds into the Saddlem en’s m usic, attempting to blend, in his words, ‘ ‘country and western, Dixieland and the old-style rhythm and blues.

  • ROCK'n'roll's 1ST DECADE Week
    ROCK'N'ROLL’S 1ST DECADE Week Two: Rock’n’Roll Takes Off Recommended Listening: Bill Haley & His Comets, The Best Of Bill Haley & His Comets: 20th Century Masters Millennium Collection (MCA). Basic primer of his mid-1950s hits, including "Rock Around the Clock" and his first Top Ten pop hit, 1954's "Shake, Rattle and Roll." Elvis Presley, Elvis at Sun (BMG, 2004). Both sides of all five of the singles Elvis Presley did for Sun records in 1954 and 1955, along with some outtakes. These were the recordings that, more than other, gave birth to rockabilly. Though they predate his rise to international superstardom in 1956, many critics consider these his finest recordings, and some consider them the very finest in all of rock'n'roll. A fuller document of Presley’s pre-1956 recordings, including many live performances of varying fidelity and studio outtakes, is on the three-CD box set A Boy From Tupelo: The Complete 1953-1955 Recordings. Various Artists, The Doo Wop Box (Rhino, 1994). Although this four-CD box goes all the way up to the mid-1960s, the first disc covers important hits from the late 1940s through the mid-1950s that were crucial to establish the black R&B vocal group sound. Especially important ones were the Crows' "Gee," the Chords' "Sh- Boom," and the Penguins' "Earth Angel," all of which were big pop hits in 1953 and 1954, before "Rock Around the Clock." Two subsequent four-CD box doo wop box sets on Rhino include much other material from both this era and post-1955.

  • Rock Around the Clock” Started out As a Highly‐Underrated Pop Song; It Wound up Being a Snapshot of Teenage Life in the Mid‐1950’S
    1, 2, 3 O’Clock, 4 O’Clock, Rock… “Rock Around the Clock” started out as a highly‐underrated pop song; it wound up being a snapshot of teenage life in the mid‐1950’s. Written at some point in late 1952, the song almost went nowhere…twice. In winter 1953, songwriter Max Freedman had the song transcribed for the purpose of publishing the music. He sold co‐authorship of the song to James Myers (Jimmy DeKnight) in exchange for publishing the song and, one presumes, for seeking an artist to record it. Freedman died in 1962, and Myers’ story after that varied, but we know that after registering the copyright for the song, James Myers approached Bill Haley about recording it. “And what? Haley didn’t like it?” Quite the opposite: Bill Haley wanted to record it right away. By this time Haley was having a regional hit with “Crazy, Man, Crazy,” and was looking for new material to take his band to the top. According to members of the Comets, the group tested the popularity of the song by introducing it to live audiences. Apparently the first audience to hear “Rock Around the Clock” by Bill Haley and his Comets was at the Hofbrau Hotel in Wildwood, NJ, in July, 1953. Although the crowds liked it, Haley’s producer did not. Dave Miller refused to record “Rock Around the Clock” for Essex Records – apparently because Miller and Myers were not on friendly terms. Myers’ business partner, Jack Howard, pitched the song to Paschall Salvatore Vennitti (better known as Sonny Dae).
