• DEEP FEELING: GILL SINGS CROSBY (Nov. 28, 2009)

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  John Gill — hot guitarist, banjoist, trombonist, singer — has a deep love and understanding of Bing Crosby, as you can hear on his Stomp Off CD, LEARN TO CROON, where he and a wonderful New York band (his “Sentimental Serenaders”) pay heartfelt tribute to Bing. I’m delighted that SFRaeAnn captured John and ...

  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  NEVILLE is the splendid stride and swing pianist Neville Dickie . HAL is the swinging drummer Hal Smith . And TOM is Tom Warner — dedicated videographer who caught them at the 2009 West Coast Ragtime Festival in Sacramento, California.  These clips originated on YouTube, where Tom’s channel is ...

• A LITTLE JAM! (Nov. 29, 2009)

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  I remember that once an interviewer, trying to find out whether Ruby Braff was playing a cornet or a trumpet, asked him, “What is that?” pointing at his horn.  Ruby, characteristically, responded at top speed, but in italics: “ That?  That is a musical instrument.”   Ruby would have approved of the ...

  subrealism — Authority: 142
  NYTimes | Iraq’s first stab at opening its oil industry to foreign investment ended in disappointment at an auction in June in which most companies declined to bid. But last month many of those same companies — including Exxon Mobil and Occidental Petroleum, the first American companies to reach production ...

• “HOT” on SPRING STREET (Nov. 22, 2009)

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  Last Sunday at The Ear Inn, November 22, 2009, the compact, eloquent quartet — The Ear Regulars or the Earregulars, depending on what region you come from — performed two lovely Ralph Rainger ballads, PLEASE and WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE.   (In case you are new to this scene, The Ear Inn is at 326 Spring Street ...

• CHRIS DAWSON: STRIDE FOR CHRISTMAS!

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  Yesterday I received my copy of pianist Chris Dawson’s first solo CD, STRIDIN’ THROUGH CHRISTMAS, and it’s a wow.  But perhaps you’d like to read some expert testimony: Let’s get my personal prejudices out of the way.  To me, “Christmas music” tends either to be religious or fairly limited pop ...

• SINGING PRETTY SONGS at The Ear Inn (Nov. 22, 2009)

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  Jon-Erik Kellso already has a deep repertoire of songs, as listeners know.  I was especially delighted when he decided to add Ralph Rainger’s PLEASE to his list, which he did last Sunday night (November 22, 2009) at the Ear Inn.  The EarRegulars were an especially compatible quartet: Jon-Erik on trumpet, Matt ...

  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  MARIANNE MANGAN REMEMBERS LEROY “SAM” PARKINS A PRINCE OF A GUY Prequel: After spending a wonderful week in Israel (during which time he had, curiously or presciently, found the spot where he wanted his cremated ashes scattered), Sam Parkins fell gravely ill. We lost him on November 18, 2009. ...

• SUNSET: LEROY “SAM” PARKINS

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  Leroy “Sam” Parkins, clarinetist, raconteur, and enthusiastic friend of this blog, died in Israel on November 18, 2009: he was 83.  Sam loved beautiful photographs, so I offer this sunset, taken from a window on the Upper West Side, in his memory. I am an unabashed jazz matchmaker: I tried to get Whitney ...

• OH, “PLEASE”!

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  In honor of Ralph Rainger, Leo Robin, Bing Crosby, Adam Keller, John Gill, and Jon-Erik Kellso – here is the sheet music for PLEASE.  It’s my dream to hear world-class jazz musicians, deep in Swing Romanticism, make this song their own.  Unfortunately, the folio doesn’t have the lyrics — but perhaps ...

• 1959: JACK, BOBBY, GENE, KENNY

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  I don’t quite know how “Wolfgang’s Vault” tapped into the great store of recordings made — presumably for the Voice of America — for the 1959 Newport Jazz Festival, but the second neatly-wrapped present has arrived.  What interests me are two sets: one featuring the master, Jack Teagarden, with his ...

• AN EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT!

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  When Chris Dawson told me that he had recorded a solo piano album of Christmas music, inwardly I cringed, but remained polite.  He assured me that it wasn’t treacly or sanctimonious: holiday tunes that he swung .  I remained hopeful but inwardly skeptical, although I trust Chris.  This evening, I was so busy ...

• LOVE’S OLD SWEET SONGS (Nov. 15, 2009)

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  Sunday night at The Ear Inn, the performances that moved me the most were three love songs — interspersed with up-tempo romps on I NEVER KNEW, LINGER AWHILE, WAY DOWN YONDER IN NEW ORLEANS, and THERE’LL BE SOME CHANGES MADE.  The EarRegulars were Jon-Erik Kellso, trumpet and moral guidance; Mark Lopeman, ...

• WHAT’S THE MAGIC WORD?

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  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 ...

• TRAVELING BLUES: TOMMY LADNIER

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  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 ...

• THE VANGUARD SESSIONS

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  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 ...

• GO WEST! GET HOT!

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 130
  It might be a New Yorker’s prejudice, but I don’t associate hot jazz with Arizona.  In this, however, as in so many things, the evidence proves me wrong.  Our Hot benefactress, SFRaeAnn, took her video camera to the Arizona Classic Jazz Festival in Chandler, Arizona.  Here are three performances she captured ...
