Don Redman — a young man from Piedmont, West Virginia, who did much to create the sound that the world came to know as big band swing — composed “Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You?” just as The Roaring Twenties came to a close. In fact, the song's first studio recording, featuring Don performing with McKinney's Cotton Pickers, came out just one week after the 1929 stock market crash that started the Great Depression.The crash even inspired a revision of the song. Andy Razaf's original words reflected the consumer-driven culture of the ‘20s, using expensive gifts to illustrate the depth of the narrator's sentiments. “Bought you a fur coat for Christmas and a diamond ring,” said the initial lyrics, “a big Packard coupe and everything.” Ut-oh, Packard was bankrupted and went out of business. (“Big Cadillac car” took its place in the verse.)The mid-1920s had been good for Don Redman. He was responsible for integrating the rhythmic approach of Louis Armstrong's playing into his arrangements for Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra. In 1927 Redman was wooed away from Henderson to join McKinney's Cotton Pickers, the house band at the celebrated Greystone Ballroom in Detroit.It turned out the 1930s were darn good for Don as well. The trademark of his ever-more sophisticated band arrangements was the harmony he wrote to play under the group's solos. His brass and reed sections played off each other in a titillating call-and-response pattern; one section punctuated the figures of the other, while the melody moved around to different orchestral sections and soloists. So innovative was the Don Redman style that it was to be widely imitated in jazz arrangements for decades to come.Redmond remained active in music until his death in 1964 at age 64. And while he never again lived in West Virginia, he did not forget his home state, especially Harper Ferry's Storer College, from which he graduated in 1920. His most lasting musical contribution to the institution was his composition of the “Storer College Alma Mater,” which endured throughout the school's history.Back to the Song“Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good to You?” was the first song Don Redman wrote for McKinney's Cotton Pickers, but after its 1929 release, the tune went into cold storage.More than a decade passed before the next major jazz artist recorded the song, and it turned out to be yet another West Virginian. Saxophonist Chu Berry, a Wheeling, WV, native, recorded the song in 1941 on the flip side of his rendition of “Sunny Side of the Street.” (Sadly, it would be Berry's last recording before his untimely death from an automobile accident in northern Ohio later that year.)Two years later, Don's song finally made the big time when the great Nat King Cole turned “Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You?” into a hit, topping the 1943 R&B charts. Around the same time, Count Basie adopted the song as a favorite, using it to showcase vocalists, including Jimmy Rushing and Joe Williams.Though modernists like Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakely and Paul Bley also recorded the tune over the years, it was among more traditional jazz players that “Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You?” remains a favorite.Our Take on the TuneLast week was our first outing on this great old jazz standard.When we started it, Veezy said she wasn't sure she was familiar with it. By the time we finished it, it sounded like she wrote it herself! This is a public episode.

If ragtime piano can be seen as the starting point in the evolution of jazz piano, then the next step in that evolutionary process wasn't a step all; it was a "stride." Around 1920, the popularity of ragtime piano began to wane, as blues music became the new fad. In response to this — while also incorporating some of the influence of Tin Pan Alley — several pianists, primarily in Harlem, began to experiment with a blending of styles. The result was stride piano. Thomas Wright "Fats" Waller was an American jazz pianist, organist, composer, violinist, singer, and comedic entertainer. His innovations in the Harlem stride style laid much of the basis for modern jazz piano. SOURCE: Wikipedia. The Joint Is Jumpin' was released in 1937. Words by Andy Razaf and J. C. Johnson, music by Thomas "Fats" Waller/arr. Alan Billingsley. From the 1978 musical Ain't Misbehavin'. The musical is a tribute to the music of Fats Waller. It was a time when Manhattan nightclubs such as the Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom were the playgrounds of high society and Lenox Avenue dives were filled with piano players banging out the new beat known as swing.

“Honeysuckle Rose,” an absolute anthem of the Roaring Twenties, was born in a New York speakeasy almost a hundred years ago.The story of the song's roots is related by Barry Singer in his biography of lyricist Andy Razaf. The tune — or at least its title — was born at the Club Alabam in Harlem as far back as the winter of 1924, when a young Razaf won a chance to perform a song for which he would write both the words and music.The whole business was staged at the club with full chorus of what Singer described as an "eye-pleasing bevy of show girls" billed as "The Honeysuckle Rosebuds." It was from those hoofers that Razaf picked his title: "Honeysuckle Rose."The Name's the ThingActually, Andy's original melody was no great shakes — in fact, Razaf junked both it and the lyrics right after the show closed — but he just couldn't forget that title. Now fast-forward five years. It's 1929 and Razaf is working with his new partner — the great Fats Waller — to finish their third song for a soon-to-be-forgotten show called “Load of Coal.” We find Andy stitching his old title and a few other elements to the chorus. At some point, he decides he had better telephone Fats to check his work. It's a good thing he does; over the phone, they have to add a new eight-bar bridge in the middle of the tune, because Waller can't remember what he wrote the day before.After many minutes of desperate humming and shouting back and forth, Razaf lays down the phone to dash to his piano and try out what they have. When he gets back, he finds the line is dead. Waller has gotten bored and hung up.Neither Razaf nor Waller realize that they have written an immortal song. “We thought very little of it at the time," Razaf recalled. (Of course, the tune would be recorded more than 500 times by major artists such as Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie, Coleman Hawkins, Earl Hines, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Lena Horne, Nat King Cole and many others. Fats' own 1934 recording was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.)And From There…“Honeysuckle Rose” was a defining piece for Waller and Razaf, who would collaborate on other memorable songs, including “Ain't Misbehavin',” “My Fate Is In Your Hands,” “Black And Blue,” “Blue Turning Gray” and “When Gabriel Blows His Horn.”While Waller became one of the best-known entertainers of the '30s and '40s, Razaf went on to write lyrics for over a thousand more songs, including “In The Mood,” “Stompin' At The Savoy” and “Memories Of You.”Oh and if you're ever in Asbury Park, NJ, you can tour the house where Fats and Andy wrote the song. “The Honeysuckle Rose House” at 119 Atkins still stands, looking much as it did in the late 1920s. And has its own website.Our Take On the TuneYou can learn about how versatile a band is by listening to its handling of instrumentals. Without the poetics of the lyrics or the theatrics of the singer, it's up to the soloists to bring drama to the song. To hear what we mean, listen to this four-minute track from a recent Flood show. Vanessa Coffman opens the action with her tasteful statement of the melody. Then about a minute in, she begins to weave and spin brilliant new threads on that old familiar frame with her tenor sax, beautiful work that then inspires her bandmate, guitarist Danny Cox, when he follows with some gorgeous strings of his own. Yes, Veezy and Danny bring the honey to this rose.The Swing ChannelIf you'd like more of this style of music, don't miss the free Swingin' Channel in our Radio Floodango music streaming service.

Uno de los temas emblemáticos de la era del swing, "saltando en el Savoy" fue compuesto por Edgar Sampson (tenor de la orquesta de Chick Webb) aunque luego los créditos se ampliaron a Webb, B. Goodman y a Andy Razaf quien le puso letra. Amalgama de canción y de riff de orquesta, habla del Savoy Ballroom en Harlem donde se lucia Chick Webb y se hacían las grandes y legendarias tenidas de competición de orquestas, los "cutting contests". Épocas en que el jazz y la música popular eran sinónimos. Escuchemos a Webb, Benny Goodman, Art Tatum, Earl Hines, Ella y Louis, Clifford Brown y Max Roach y otros
Ain't misbehavin' (no me estoy portando mal) de Fats Waller y Harry Brooks con letra de Andy Razaf es uno de esos standards entrañables de todas las épocas. Hizo famoso a Armstrong en 1928 a nivel nacional. Una pieza fuerte del Harlem stride piano. Escuchemos versiones del autor, Satchmo, Hot Club de France, Ella Fitzgerald, Hank Jones y Rita Payés.
This week, the Bad Piano Player plucks a gem of a lyricist from the royal palace of Madagascar as we feature the great Andy Razaf and his wonderful composer partners, Fats Waller included.
Honeysuckle rose (Madreselva, no confundir con el tango de Canaro y Amadori) es una composición del gran Fats Waller, con letra de Andy Razaf (1929) y es uno de los más grandes standards del jazz tradicional. No en vano fue uno de los temas elegidos por Art Tatum para "destronar" a los pianistas de Harlem!! Escuchemos, en piano, al autor, Teddy Wilson, Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk asi como a Count Basie y Lionel Hampton y a las cantantes Anita O'Day, Sarah Vaughan, Jane Monheit y Magalí Datzira de la St Andreu de Catalonia.

Gee baby, ain't I good to you? (nena, no soy bueno contigo?) es un tema de Don Redman (gran arreglador, trabajó con Fletcher Henderson en los 30) con Andy Razaf como letrista (quien le hacia las letras a Fats Waller). Es jocoso el hecho de que se graba una semana luego del crack de Wall Street en 1929 y la letra habla de Cadillacs, diamantes y saco de piel... Muy asociado con la orquesta de Count Basie pero tambien con la version de Nat King Cole, escuchemos esas junto con varios guitarristas, Billie Holiday, Dizzy y la joven Andrea Motis de Barcelona.

Hur påverkar själva livet musikens uttryck? Hur påverkar musiken det liv som utövaren lever? Och hur påverkas sångdiktare och musiker av sina medmänniskors liv? I detta fjärde program medverkar pianisten, kompositören och entertainern Robert Wells, med svensk mamma och nordamerikansk pappa. Robert Wells kallar sig både hovnarr och gathörns-trubadur och har måttot Less is Less More is Best. Wells har nämligen skrivit och spelat in ouvertyrer till gigantiska evenemang som VM i ishockey och konståkning, och till OS I friidrott. Under nio år såg och hörde vi Robert Wells som ackompanjatör i SVT-programmet Så ska det låta. Rhapsody in Rock, som 2011 firade 25-årsjubileum, har Wells som dynamisk kapellmästare och kreativt nav. Konserterna har hållits på jättelika arenor som Ulllevi, Dalhalla och Råsunda och turnéerna har gått över hela världen. Wells är pianoprofessor i Kina, har pianoskolan King of Piano på nätet och arbetar med stiftelsen Tummeliten till stöd för för tidigt födda barn. Hans pianistiska förebilder är de tre afroamerikanska boogie woogie-legenderna Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons och Meade Lux Lewis. Men även europeiska pianister älskar han, inte minst de två Vladimir, nämligen Horowitz och Ashkenazy. Och Arthur Rubinstein. 2010 gav Robert Wells ut sin första soloplatta Close up Classics med egna tolkningar av pianistiska pärlor av Chopin, Rachmaninov, Liszt, Debussy, Beethoven, Stenhammar och Grieg. Robert Wells var den yngste eleven någonsin vid solistlinjen på Musikhögskolan i Stockholm. Myten att han hoppade av studierna är falsk, men det var när Robert Wells hörde den svenske pianisten Charlie Normans boogie woogie-tappning av Griegs Anitras Dans, som han bestämde sig för att mixa musikstilar. Det berättar Robert Wells för Birgitta Tollan när de möts i hans studio i Stockholm där han tar plats vid sin digitala flygel och säger: - I min värld är ingen musik finare än den andra. Jag älskar att spela och jag älskar musik. Så enkelt är det!
