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 ...1 day ago -
TRAVELING BLUES: TOMMY LADNIER
Jazz Lives —
Authority: 134
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 ...2 days ago -
THE VANGUARD SESSIONS
Jazz Lives —
Authority: 134
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 days 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 ...4 days ago -
Front-Row Hero
The Front Row —
Authority: 132
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 ...4 days ago -
DARK RAPTURE (AT THE EAR INN)
Jazz Lives —
Authority: 134
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 ...6 days ago -
Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster - Encounters (1957)
Levin zenekuckja - MP3 turkl —
Authority: 137
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 ...1 week ago -
THEY ATE DINNER, TOO
Jazz Lives —
Authority: 134
We get so used to idealizing our artistic heroes that it comes as a shock when we confront pieces of evidence that show them leading everyday lives. Two such artifacts have just surfaced on eBay — pages from the celebrity register from a New York City restaurant, THE STUDIO, near Carnegie Hall, to be auctioned off ...4 weeks ago
