Clark Terry - On the Trail (1975 vinyl)

 

From the vinyl album The Effervescent Clark Terry On the Trail (Grand Canyon Suite, Grofe) Clark Terry, trumpet, fluegelhorn, vocal Scott Bradford, piano Larry Gailes, bass Hartwig Bartz, drums Recorded live on 1975 at the Jazz House, Hamburg Clark Terry, jazz trumpeter, born 14 December 1920; died 21 February 2015 Righthanded, he taught himself to manipulate the valves with his left hand too, and could even play the trumpet upside down with the backs of the fingers of either hand. This enabled him to play flugelhorn in one hand and muted trumpet in the other, swapping four-bar exchanges with himself. Jazz has always involved a combination of aesthetics and athletics, and Terry had great mastery in both. Terry befriended Davis, who was six years younger, and was trusted by Davis’s father to take the teenage Miles to play at all-night jam sessions. Davis said of Terry: “I started to play like him. I idolised him.” The two men remained lifelong friends. Excerpt from Clark Terry Obituary, The Guardian I do not own the copyright to the music, the recording and the photos.

Dave Brubeck/Gerry Mulligan - Things ain't what they used to be (vinyl)

 

"Things Ain't What They Used to Be" is from the vinyl album Live at the Berlin Philharmonic. Dave Brubeck - piano; Gerry Mulligan - baritone sax; Jack Six - bass; Alan Dawson - drums "In 1967, Dave Brubeck broke up his famous quartet (alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright, drummer Joe Morello) and the following year formed his New Quartet with baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, bassist Jack Six, and drummer Alan Dawson. They recorded two albums in 1968 (Compadres and Blues Roots) and the following year appeared at the 1969 Newport Jazz Festival. "This Saturday evening engagement on July 5th found Brubeck, Mulligan and the regal rhythm tandem of bassist Six and drummer Dawson to be truly on one accord in a stellar performance that wowed the Newport faithful at Freebody Park. They open with a soulful loping blues which eventually morphs into the Duke Ellington staple, "Things Ain't What They Used To Be" (a tune that Brubeck had also played with his quartet at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, documented on a live Columbia recording). From the outset, Mulligan is in a laidback mood on top of Dawson's loose, interactive swing pulse. Brubeck comps forcefully behind Mulligan's solo before launching into a harmonically provocative solo of his own that introduces some edgier elements into the proceedings (his version of Cecil Taylor by way of Mary Lou Williams) while still remaining true to the spirit of Ellingtonia. Six also turns in a potent bass solo on this spirited opener. "They follow with a mellow rendition of the Johnny Green-Edward Heyman standard "Out of Nowhere," a tune introduced in 1931 by Bing Crosby and subsequently covered by such jazz stars as saxophonist Coleman Hawkins and guitarist Django Reinhardt, alto saxophonists Charlie Parker and Sonny Stitt, vocalists Lena Horne and Joe Williams. Next up is requiem-like "Blessed Are the Poor (The Sermon on the Mount,)" a mournful piece carried by Mulligan's resonant baritone horn. (The following year, Brubeck's new quartet with Mulligan, Six, and Dawson would record this spiritual number with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra). Mulligan's performance is especially moving while Brubeck again pushes the envelope on his solo, treading into the Cecil Taylor camp with his spiky chordal clusters and sparkling, dissonant runs on the keyboard. And they close their set with the propulsive 6/8 number, "Indian Song," which highlights Dawson on a brilliant extended drum solo."

Glenn Miller - I Got A Gal In Kalamazoo (meticulously restored from original recording)

 

I Got A Gal In Kalamazoo

A B C D E F G H, I got a gal in Kalamazoo Don’t want to boast but I know she’s the toast of Kalamazoo Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo Years have gone by, my my how she grew I liked her looks when I carried her books in Kalamazoo Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo I’m gonna send away, hoppin’ on a plane, leavin’ today Am I dreamin’? I can hear her screamin’ "Hiya, Mr. Jackson" Everything’s O K A L A M A Z O O Oh, what a gal, a real pipperoo I’ll make my bid for that freckle-faced kid, I’m hurryin’ to I’m goin’ to Michigan to see the sweetest gal in Kalamazoo

Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, Kalamazoo K A L A M A Z O O, oh oh oh Oh what a gal, a real pipperoo We’re goin’ to Michigan to see the sweetest gal in Kalamazoo Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo Kalamazoo Songwriters: Harry Warren / Mack Gordon I've Got a Girl in Kalamazoo lyrics © Warner Chappell Music, Inc It was during World War II that a song helped immortalize Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Glenn Miller Orchestra introduced “I’ve Got a Gal in Kalamazoo” in the 1942 musical Orchestra Wives (20th Century-Fox Pictures) starring George Montgomery, Ann Rutherford, Cesar Romero, a young Jackie Gleason, with a dance number by the Nicholas Brothers. With a moderate swing tempo, writer Mack Gordon and composer Harry Warren produced a number one song capturing the wartime mood of a fella longing for his girl back home. Originally recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra with vocals by Tex Beneke, Marion Hutton and the Modernaires, it was on the charts for 20 weeks–8 weeks in the top position–and garnered an Academy Award nomination as best song. As a result of the popularity of the tune, there really was a gal here. Sara Woolley (later Knight) was selected by her hometown to represent the “Gal from Kalamazoo.” Her outgoing personality and good looks made the 19-year-old Kalamazoo College student an ideal spokesperson for the city. Her picture and story were published in newspapers, and she became a celebrity. She received mail from her fans, including admiring servicemen, and made many public appearances to sell war bonds and to promote Kalamazoo. She married in 1948, had two children, and died here in 1981. Written by Beth A. Scott, Kalamazoo Public Library Staff, October 1997. Updated 13 July 2005.

Red Rodney - Red Arrow (vinyl)

 

The Red Arrow from the vinyl album of the same name.

Red Rodney, trumpet Ira Sullivan, tenor sax Tommy Flanagan, piano Oscar Pettiford, bass Philly Joe Jones, drums Side B recorded November 24, 1957 Robert Roland Chudnick (September 27, 1927 – May 27, 1994), known professionally as Red Rodney, was an American jazz trumpeter. He accepted an invitation from Charlie Parker to join his quintet and was a member of the band from 1949–1951. Being the only white member of the group, when playing in the southern United States he was billed as "Albino Red" as a ruse to avoid prejudice against mixed race musical combos. During this time he recorded extensively. I do not own the copyright to the music, the recording and the photos. (Image post and video art were appropriated from the original album.)
