LISTEN TO GEORGE WETTLING!
Jazz Lives —
Authority: 132
The history of jazz is full of musicians, both reliable and inventive, who don’t become stars. Drummer George Wettling is one of the most neglected, although he had a recording career that lasted more than thirty years, finding him alongside Louis Armstrong, Jack Teagarden, Eddie Condon, Bud Freeman, Milt Hinton, ...2 days ago -

Reunited after many years with tenor saxophonist Lester Young, Billie’s visual reaction to his moving solo remains as eloquent as anything she ever sang; a touching finale to their historic musical partnership. Introduced by Robert Herridge (producer/host of CBS’ “The Sound of Jazz”), this is perhaps the ...4 days ago -

WHAT’S THE MAGIC WORD?

Before recordings and sound film changed the world, music didn’t travel well. Myth says that you could hear Buddy Bolden’s horn miles away, but trumpet players know that is unlikely. You certainly couldn’t have the complete Jelly Roll Morton Library of Congress recordings on a little box in your shirt ...3 weeks ago -
TRAVELING BLUES: TOMMY LADNIER

For the second time this season, a jazz book has so astonished me that I want to write about it before I take the time to read it at the leisurely pace it deserves. This book is published in a limited edition of 500 copies, so I hope that someone might be moved sufficiently to order a copy before they are all ...3 weeks ago -
THE VANGUARD SESSIONS
Jazz Lives —
Authority: 132
Between 1953 and 1957, John Hammond supervised a series of record dates for the Vanguard label. I first heard one of those records — the second volume of the THE VIC DICKENSON SHOWCASE — at my local library in the late Sixties, and fell in love. The Vanguard sessions featured Ruby Braff, Shad Collins, Buck ...3 weeks ago -
JAZZ TREASURES IN CYBERSPACE

I spend more than enough time in front of the computer (my neck can testify to this) but I’ve recently encountered two websites that might prove promising for jazz fanciers. One, Wolfgang’s Vault, initially awakened all my snobbery: lips that touch Black Sabbath will never touch mine. And I’m not terribly ...3 weeks ago -
Front-Row Hero
The Front Row —
Authority: 130
The Front Row gets its title from this blogger’s increasingly unusual movie-house preference. I’ve observed, anecdotally, in about thirty-five years of movie-going, that the bell curve of movie-theatre seating choice has shifted from about a third of the way from the screen to about two-thirds of the way back; I ...3 weeks ago -
DARK RAPTURE (AT THE EAR INN)
Jazz Lives —
Authority: 132
My title comes from a 1939 Count Basie Decca record featuring sweet Helen Humes, wondrous Lester Young, odd lyrics, and a difficult arrangement that Jo Jones said that gave the band trouble. But this post is about the DARK RAPTURE found Sunday nights at the Ear Inn (326 Spring Street, 8-11 PM) when Jon-Erik ...3 weeks ago -

A múlt század ötvenes éveinek is megvolt a maga három tenorja, csak azok nem énekesek, hanem szakszofonosok voltak: Benjamin Francis Webster (1909-1973), Coleman Randolph Hawkins (1904-1969) és Lester Willis Young (1909-1959). Ezen a lemezen, amely Jazzboy barátunk jóvoltából került a kuckóba a szwing ...4 weeks ago
