Podcasts about Benny Goodman

For this episode ofThe Buzz, JJA President Emeritus Howard Mandel speaks with Zan Stewart, the JJA's 2026 Lifetime Achievement in Jazz Journalism honoree.Zan Stewart spent thirty-five years covering jazz as a beat reporter writing weekly features, overnight reviews, and club listings through long-term runs at the Los Angeles Times and the Newark Star-Ledger. His liner notes to Eric Dolphy: The Complete Prestige Recordings earned an ASCAP–Deems Taylor Award. He is also a working tenor saxophonist, and the two roles were always intertwined: Stewart came to jazz journalism as an advocate with a reporter's eye and a player's ear. In this conversation, he retraces his path from a hi-fi in Ojai to the clubs of San Francisco, with a lot of music in between.They cover his early formation in the music (his father was at the Palomar Ballroom in 1935 the night Benny Goodman kicked off the swing era), two decades at the LA Times under Leonard Feather, his move to the Star-Ledger in Newark, his 2014 debut recording The Street Is Making Music, and his current work writing liner notes after a medical battle with oral cancer and osteonecrosis that has sidelined his playing. He also describes the box of cassette tapes in his possession containing unarchived conversations with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, and McCoy Tyner, that he hopes to get out into the world.(The musical excerpts heard in this episode are "Hampton's Pulpit" from the Hampton Hawes Quartet's 1991 reissue All Night Session and "The Street Is Making Music" from Zan Stewart's 2014 album of the same name.)Buzzworthy Notes Guest & HostZan StewartHoward MandelDiscussedLeonard Feather — jazz critic, Los Angeles Times; mentor to StewartEric Dolphy: The Complete Prestige Recordings — liner notes by Zan Stewart; recipient of the ASCAP–Deems Taylor AwardHampton Hawes — pianist; subject of Stewart's first published interviewHear Me Talkin' to Ya — edited by Nat Shapiro and Nat Hentoff (Rinehart, 1955); a formative text for StewartSonny Rollins — official websiteOliver Nelson, Straight Ahead — Prestige, 1961; features Eric Dolphy on bass clarinetAlbert Dailey — pianist; performed with Stewart's early band in Santa BarbaraThe 2026 JJA Lifetime Achievement in Jazz Journalism AwardOther nominees: Dan Ouellette, Nate Chinen, and Ben RatliffLearn more about JJA AwardsSupport for The JJA comes in part from the Jazz Foundation of America, providing emergency assistance, healthcare, and performance opportunities to performers, composers and others in need.

Creativity through the lens of a musician and songwriter"Being creative is so lucky"Robin Batteau's“Banned in Sparta” is a new collaborative album of songs based on poems by Classical Greek poets and recorded by a number of friends: Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen, Livingston and Kate Taylor, Matt Nakoa, Robin Lane, 2-time Tony winning actor James Naughton and his gifted children Keira and Greg, plus Carolyn Hester.  Robin was inspired by an Ancient Greek History class he took when he returned to Harvard during the Pandemic to finish a degree he started in the 1960s. Robin earned the World Record of taking a 50-year break (between 1970 to 2021) to return to Harvard and finish his degree in 2022.   “Banned In Sparta” focuses almost entirely on poets from Ancient Greece between 700 and 400 BC.  One poet, Gaius Valerius Catullus (84 – 54 BC), as smitten with the ghost of Sappho as Robin or Alcaeus, is from Rome during Julius Caesar's reign, for whom Eric Andersen performs “Cross (of Gold),” an ode to interlaced and conflicted feelings, “Odi et Amo"— I hate and I love.The title “Banned in Sparta” finds its name from Archilochus, the Bob Dylan of the 7th century B.C., a warrior-poet so irreverent he was “Banned in Sparta.”  James Naughton sings the song “Archilochus Re-Deemed (I Am a Servant of the Lord God of War).” Kate Taylor performs “Telesilla's On the Wall,” from the female poet Telesilla, who led her fellow women warriors to victory against those same renowned Spartans. “The Greek Lyric poets performed live, and were the stars of their day,” says Robin. “They were singer/songwriters, they played the lyre (hence "Lyric") and danced around the stage like Tom Paxton and Taylor Swift.”Robin, who studied Ancient Greece and Integrative Biology at Harvard, found that most of what was left of the poems were fragments and myth, “So I mosaic-ed songs to reflect their expressions and intentions— who they were, and are to me.”  A range of female poets contributed to the lyrical history of Greece including Corrina, whose “In Her Loving Arms” is sung by Carolyn Hester, and Praxilla's “The Most Beautiful Thing in the World,” a hymn to Adonis, sung by Keira Naughton.  Sappho's writing inspires “Terra Cotta Heart,” sung by Robin Lane.  Livingston Taylor sings “My Sappho, Sweetly Smiling” from the smitten neighbor and rival Alcaeus. The fun and frolicking “Shake your Hair (You Thracian Filly),” sung by Tom Paxton. Pianist and folk singer Matt Nakoa offers a Bruce Hornsby-like treatment for Simonides of Ceos's “Theatre of Memory (Man of Gold).”    Sharing Grammy, Emmy, Clio, and Gold Record Awards and an Oscar nomination, Robin's recorded over a dozen albums with Pierce Arrow, David Buskin (Buskin & Batteau), and many others.  His jingles feature in long-running, award-sweeping advertising campaigns from "I'm Lovin' It" for McDonalds to “Can't Beat It” for Coca-Cola to "The Heartbeat of America" for Chevrolet. He's played his 1898 Scarampella violin with everyone from Yo-Yo Ma to Benny Goodman to Bruce Springsteen and has had his melodies sung by Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Judy Collins, Paul Newman, and more. His songs have supported charities and causes, including World Hunger Year, Ocean Alliance, Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, and Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for kids. The Boston Globe defines his music with David Buskin as "Acoustic Heaven."https://robinbatteau.com/https://www.facebook.com/robin.batteauSend us Fan Mail

This week's guest, Sal Andolina, is the BPO's hottest switch-hitter in his permanent position of clarinetist, bass clarinetist and saxophonist. He has been a full-time member of the BPO for the past 21 seasons. His association with the Orchestra began in the late '70s when he was a standout performance major at the University at Buffalo as a full-scholarship student on the clarinet. Upon completion of his degree at UB under former BPO clarinetist James Pyne, Andolina pursued advanced clarinet studies with Stanley Hasty at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester and coaching with the legendary Benny Goodman in New York City. In addition to appearing as a soloist with the BPO, Andolina has been featured with the Rochester Philharmonic, the Grand Rapids Symphony, the Fresno Philharmonic, the Arts Nova Chamber Orchestra and the North American New Music Festival. More significantly, Andolina has been featured on at least 15 studio recordings, including his prized CD: "Like Benny to Me," a tribute to Goodman. Note, this episode was originally recorded on April 9, 2026 where we talked about his association with Michael Tilson Thomas. Sadly Mr. Thomas passed away on April 22, 2026.

On this episode, Marc talks with Steve Bowie, author of "Concerto for Cootie: The Life and Times of Cootie Williams," released in October of 2025. It's an in-depth look at the saga of a revered trumpet player who was a vital member of Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman's groups, as well as spending 20 years as a band leader of his own. He was a massively popular artist who consistently filled venues and won jazz awards, but he never had a crossover hit and subsequently his story has been somewhat lost to history. Bowie corrects that omission skillfully, telling the tale of a man who made great art for a living.As Steve writes, "In Mr. Williams's seventy-four years on this earth, his story has a lot of territory to cover...Most of the available biographical information doesn't dive beyond the surface and consists of a handful of articles and chapters in anthology-style biographies...Willams's years as a leader and the time he spent under the baton of Mercer Ellington has received scant coverage.You can buy "Concerto for Cootie" here.We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Steve Bowie!

Dirigent, Organist, Cembalist, Improvisator: Rudolf Lutz gehört zu den prägendsten Bach-Interpreten der Schweiz. Als musikalischer Leiter der J. S. Bach-Stiftung St. Gallen widmet er sich seit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten der Aufführung und Einspielung des gesamten Kantatenwerks von J.S. Bach. Fast 200 Kantaten hat er bereits dirigiert – jede einzelne mit der Leidenschaft eines Musikers, für den Bach weit mehr ist als ein Komponist: «Bach ist mein Lebenselexier», sagt Lutz. In «Musik für einen Gast» blickt Rudolf Lutz auf ein vielseitiges Musikerleben zurück. Über 40 Jahre war er Organist an der St. Laurenzenkirche in St. Gallen, wurde für seine Auseinandersetzung mit Bachs geistlicher Musik mit einem Ehrendoktor der Theologie ausgezeichnet und hat sich als Improvisator und Vermittler einen Namen gemacht. Im Gespräch mit Eva Oertle spricht Rudolf Lutz über seine musikalischen Wurzeln und die prägende Rolle seiner englischen Grossmutter. Er erzählt von seinem Weg zur Musik, der über eine Ausbildung zum Primarlehrer führte – und von der Vielseitigkeit, die sein künstlerisches Leben bis heute bestimmt. Er spricht über Inspiration und Zweifel, über Glauben, Familie und das Älterwerden – und darüber, was Musik für ihn im Innersten bedeutet. Neben einer Arie von Bach bringt Rudolf Lutz auch ein englisches Volkslied in der Bearbeitung von Benjamin Britten mit, eine Jazzaufnahme von Benny Goodman, einen Sinfoniesatz von Brahms und Musik, die er im Dialog mit Texten von Klaus Merz selbst geschrieben hat: «Bilder von Leben und Tod», ein Werk, das noch eine weitere Seite von Rudolf Lutz zeigt – die des Komponisten. Die Musiktitel - Johann Sebastian Bach: Die Seele ruht in Jesu Händen, BWV 127 Nr. 3 (J.S. Bach-Stiftung St. Gallen; Julia Doyle, Sopran; Rudolf Lutz, Leitung) - Benjamin Britten: Come you not from New Castle (Peter Pears, Tenor; Benjamin Britten, Klavier) - Rudolf Lutz: Feuerverlauf, aus «Bilder von Leben und Tod», mit Texten von Klaus Merz (Sonus Quartett) - Louis Prima: Sing, Sing, Sing (Benny Goodman & His Orchestra, Live in Stockholm 1970) - Johannes Brahms: 4.

In this episode of Revamping Retirement, Jennifer Doss and Matt Patrick are joined by Benny Goodman of the TIAA Institute to unpack what retirement income really means for individuals and for plan sponsors. The conversation explores the shift from saving to spending, the role of Social Security as an income foundation, and why guaranteed income tools like annuities are often misunderstood. Goodman also shares why employers are increasingly focused on helping participants retire through their plans, not just to retirement, and what that could mean for the future of workplace retirement plans.   Get more insights for retirement plan sponsors by subscribing to Revamping Retirement.

This week we talk about Disney's post-war musical anthology, Make Mine Music. Produced during a time when the studio was short-staffed and under-resourced due to WWII, this "package film" consists of ten distinct segments set to music rather than a single continuous narrative. SPOILER ALERT We do talk about this movie in its entirety, so if you plan on watching it, we suggest you watch it before listening to our takes.An RKO Radio Pictures release of a Walt Disney Production. Released on April 20, 1946. Directed by Jack Kinney, Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, Joshua Meador, and Robert Cormack. Story by James Bodrero, Homer Brightman, and others. Featuring the musical talents and voices of Nelson Eddy, Dinah Shore, Benny Goodman, The Andrews Sisters, Jerry Colonna, Sterling Holloway, and Andy Russell. Edited by Donald Halliday and Anthony Gerard. Music direction by Charles Wolcott.

A trend certainly develops along this week's path of physical media with Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski. It is a week that offers musicals from Ernst Lubitsch, a double (or, actually, triple) dose of Van Damme and one of the craziest sci-fi horror films you will ever see. But it is also a week about truth and liberties. They go from the music side of the aisle in biopics about Benny Goodman and Jim Morrison. Diane Keaton takes you into the various depictions and mysteries of the afterlife. There is also another Tale of the Christ setting the record for the most Oscars for over 40 years as well as Ron Howard's Oscar-winning Best Picture. Finally there is the journalism of today with Jake Gyllenhaal and perhaps the greatest film about the profession celebrating its 50th anniversary.1:18 - Criterion (Eclipse Series 8: Lubitsch Musicals, Cloud (4K))10:57 - WB (Ben-Hur (4K), All the President's Men (4K))30:12 - Shout (Nightcrawler (4K))36:47 - Universal (A Beautiful Mind (4K), The Benny Goodman Story)50:06 - Lionsgate (The Doors 4K)1:01:02 - Arrow (The Visitor (1979) (4K))1:10:55 - MVD (Double Impact (4K), Knock Off (4K))1:24:15 - Lightyear (Heaven (1987))1:32:19 - New TV & Theatrical Titles On Blu-ray (Dexter: Resurrection (Season One), Predator: Badlands (4K), Sisu: Road to Revenge (4K), Now You See Me, Now You Don't (4K), Rental Family, Five Nights At Freddy's 2 (4K), Deathstalker (2025), Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) (4K), Song Sung Blue, Regretting You, The Carpenter's Son)1:37:37 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

The legacy of this internationally renowned ensemble, innovators of the "jubilee" singing style which influenced the national sound of quartets in the black community before World War II. The most popular of the Jubilee quartets, the Golden Gate Quartet started singing as the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet in the mid-'30s when they were students at Booker T. Washington High School in Norfolk, VA. The membership included Willie Johnson (baritone and narrator), Henry Owens (first tenor) William Langford (second tenor), and Orlandus Wilson (bass). Their harmonies became very sophisticated, laced with a heavy dose of jazz and a Mills Brothers influence right down to their vocal imitation of instruments. In fact, next to the Mills Brothers, they were probably the best at the "sounding like instruments" technique. They built their reputation through performing on local radio shows and in churches. In 1937 the Gates signed to Victor's Bluebird affiliate and applied their unique jazz-swing sound to gospel titles like "Go Where I Send Thee," "The Preacher and the Bear," and "When the Saints Go Marchin' In." On Aug. 4, 1937, they recorded an amazing 14 songs in two hours at the Charlotte Hotel in North Carolina. They performed in the same year on NBC Radio's "Magic Key Hour." In June 1940, they recorded several sides with the legendary folk singer Leadbelly, released in 1941 on Bluebird's parent label, Victor. By now they had dropped the Jubilee portion of their name, presenting themselves strictly as the Golden Gate Quartet. Though their recorded repertoire from 1937 to 1940 includes mostly gospel and Jubilee songs, they did record two pop-jazz 78s: "Stormy Weather" and "My Prayer." One of the highlights of this period was a performance for President Franklin Roosevelt's inauguration, which led to a number of appearances at the White House at the request of Eleanor Roosevelt. In 1941 they moved to Columbia's Okeh affiliate, and their entire recorded output during the war years was on that label. The most successful of these records was a version of "Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer" in 1943. Their biggest record success came in 1947 with the song "Shadrack," and in 1948 the group appeared in the RKO musical "A Song Is Born," starring Benny Goodman, Danny Kaye, and Louis Armstrong. In 1959 the Golden Gate Quartet moved to Paris and landed a two-year deal to perform at the Casino de Paris. While based in Europe, they recorded for EMI-UK, Pathe Marconi in France, and EMI-Germany, creating more than 50 LPs. Over the years the group amassed a travelogue of 76 countries performed in. One of the truly great vocal groups, the Gates were cited as an inspiration to many rhythm and blues groups of the era.   00:00 PAR Intro  00:18 NPR Wade In The Water Ep. 10: The Legacy Of The Golden Gate Quartet  58:43 JGH Commentary 01:04:14 PAR Outro    #fba #freedmen #negro #blackamericanheritage #virginia #florida #npr #spiritualjubilee #negrospiritual #worldwar2 #blackamericanfreedmen #rap #1930s #thegoldengatequartet #blackhistory

STANDARSEMANAL.-The Girl From Ipanema.-VINILOS MITICOS DEL JAZZ-.BUDDY DEFRANCO - And The Oscar Peterson Quartet.-JAZZACTUALIDAD.-.MARTINA SABARIEGO BIG BAND-FORCES AND BATTLEMENTS Bonifacio Ferdinand Leonard "Buddy" DeFranco (Camden, Nueva Jersey, 17 de febrero de 1923 − Panama City, Florida, 24 de diciembre de 2014)[1]​ fue un clarinetista de jazz estadounidense. De origen italiano, comenzó a tocar el clarinete en 1935 con sólo 12 años para ayudar a su padre ciego a mantener a su familia muy pobre que vivía en el sur de Filadelfia. A los 16 años ya era un músico que giraba a través de los Estados Unidos con varias bandas. Su carrera se desarrolló en lo que se considera la época dorada del swing jazz y las big bands, que tenía como principales clarinetistas a Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman y Woody Herman. Pero él fue el primero en dedicarse con su instrumento al bebop y a la música de Charlie Parker, y con Tony Scott se convirtió en uno de los pocos clarinetistas en ese tipo de la historia del jazz. También fue el primero en utilizar el clarinete bajo en el jazz con resultados extraordinarios. Entre sus colaboraciones más importantes se encuentran las que tocó con Count Basie, Sonny Clark y Tal Farlow. De 1966 a 1974 fue líder de la orquesta de Glenn Miller. También tocó con George Shearing, Gene Krupa, Charlie Barnet, Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Terry Gibbs, Art Blakey, Tommy Gumina y muchos otros. Se le dedicó una hermosa biografía en el libro: Una vida en la edad de oro del Jazz. También fue organizador del festival de jazz para jóvenes talentos Buddy DeFranco Jazz Fest y en 1996 como maestro y profesor publicó su versión del método Hanon para el aprendizaje de clarinete de jazz. Junto con su amigo de Tony Scott es considerado el más grande de todos clarinetista de jazz de su tiempo. Agotado desde hace mucho tiempo, este LP, reeditado por el sello «WaxTime» en 2018, presenta al brillante clarinetista Buddy DeFranco con el Oscar Peterson Quartet, o lo que es lo mismo, el trío habitual del orondo pianista de Toronto, con el añadido del baterista, Louie Bellson. Si bien las seis tomas son todas estándares, DeFranco y Peterson producen swing a raudales y con un ritmo alejado del habitual “tempo” de Oscar Peterson. DeFranco suena impecable en el clarinete, lo que hace que suene tan fácil de tocar como un rayo; pocos clarinetistas se han acercado alguna vez a esta velocidad. Disco muy recomendable para ver tocar el piano a Óscar Peterson fuera de su zona de confort, si es que alguna vez estuvo en ella. Martina Sabariego Big Band Forces And Battlements La compositora y multiinstrumentista de Xirivella, Martina Sabariego, presenta Forces and Battlements, su segundo álbum y el primero escrito y grabado para big band.

Welcome to Glenn Robison's Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can't not tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and '30s. You’ve probably already figured out from the poster above that one of the segments on this week’s Rapidly Rotating Records is songs from Benny Goodman’s historic Carnegie Hall Concert of January 16, 1938. But that’s not the only thing that happened on January 16th in history. You’ll find out another in the second segment of the show, about Prohibition. In other segments, we’ll celebrate James Monaco’s birthday, resort to some trickery and have a vocabulary lesson.

Hermine Duerloo, Laurent Maur and Alexandre Piret join me on episode 150, for a retrospective on the great Toots Thielemans. Toots was born in 1922 to humble beginnings, in Brussels, Belgium, where his parents ran a cafe. His first instrument was an accordion, which he started playing at age three and showed great promise. He took up guitar and the chromatic harmonica around the age of sixteen. He then went on to tour Europe with Benny Goodman in 1950 before moving to the US in 1951 where landed a seat in the George Shearing Quintet, mainly as a guitar player, but also playing some songs on chromatic. Toots made his first solo albums from the late 1950s, including the iconic Man Bites Harmonica. From the 1960s Toots was in great demand as a session musician, recording with many giants of the music industry, such as Bill Evans, Paul Simon and Billy Joel. He also made some notable musical collaborations, including with Jaco Pastorius and Quincy Jones, and recorded on numerous film and tv scores, such as Midnight Cowboy and Sesame Street. Toots had such a long and glorious career that it's hard to do it justice, but this episode attempts to highlight some of the key moments from the undisputed giant of the chromatic harmonica, and one who has inspired pretty much every chromatic player that has followed. Links:Compilation of interviews with Toots put together by a Belgian DJ Nico Kanakaris: https://www.mixcloud.com/bluenote71/toots-thielemans-100/Articles on Toots from Roger Trobridge's The Archivist site: http://www.the-archivist.co.uk/tag/toots-thielemans/Videos:The story of Toots Thielemans by Steven De Bruyn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar7CnZS0m0kWith Paul Simon in 1975: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8v2j4lJJZY&list=RDq8v2j4lJJZYWith Billy Joel in 1983: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Te0DB86-wY&list=RD6Te0DB86-wYThree Views of a Secret live with Jaco Pastorius: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBhoDaS5SKQ&list=RDyBhoDaS5SKQToots Thielemans 100th Anniversary Official Concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4hqApO5BH8Podcast website:https://www.harmonicahappyhour.comDonations:If you want to make a voluntary donation to help support the running costs of the podcast then please use this link (or visit the podcast website link above):https://paypal.me/harmonicahappyhour?locale.x=en_GBSpotify Playlist: Also check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains most of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQPodcast sponsors:This podcast is sponsored by SEYDEL harmonicas - visit the oldest harmonica factory in the world at www.seydel1847.com  or on Facebook or Instagram at SEYDEL HARMONICAS--------------------------------Blue Moon Harmonicas: https://bluemoonharmonicas.comSupport the show

Student journalist and first-time documentary filmmaker Matthew Winkler joins us to discuss his work on a film chronicling the life and career of Joya Sherrill, an unsung American jazz vocalist who wrote the lyrics to the Billy Strayhorn standard, "Take the A Train," made famous by the Duke Ellington orchestra. Matthew came across Sherrill's name during his freshman year at Tufts University, while doing research for Boston Globe journalist and noted biographer Larry Tye, who was writing a book about jazz. Matthew, a music and history major, was astonished to discover the small footprint Sherrill had left behind, despite being the first female jazz singer to visit the Soviet Union, accompanying bandleader Benny Goodman, and earning the distinction of being one of Duke Ellington's favorite singers. "Public-facing history is very important to me," Matthew told a reporter for Tufts Now, the university's alumni magazine, in an article detailing how the Tufts undergraduate grew a student research project into a feature-length documentary, with the help of his professors and mentors. "I hope this film will make people know who Joya Sherrill is and why we should care about her. On a broader level, I think a documentary like this will make people realize how easy it is for remarkable figures to fall through the cracks of history." With this conversation, it is hoped, he might also signal to aspiring storytellers how easy it is to keep their eyes and ears open for stories that might move us, inspire us, and enlighten us.

EPYSODE 57: "Quill" by Quill. Guest: Quill band member Phil Thayer. Additional commentary from Uncle Herff. This week we spin the self-titled 1970 debut album by Quill, the Boston-based psychedelic rock band best known for opening day 2 of Woodstock and then seemingly vanishing into the mist of rock history. Featuring exclusive commentary from Phil Thayer, Quill's multi-instrumentalist, we dive into the stories behind the band's brief but electric rise, their unique fusion of psych, prog, and theatrical performance, and why their album never got the recognition it deserved...despite being on a major label. Whether you're a crate-digging psych-rock obsessive or discovering Quill for the first time, this deep dive is your backstage pass into one of rock's most fascinating "what could've been" stories. I hope you dig "Quill" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @  ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠ ===LINKS=== Listen to Quill's Woodstock performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmbfcDl7PsU&list=RDWmbfcDl7PsU&start_radio=1   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured ( *denotes track is not available on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5W7dQDfLuVyj0LffsepJFc?si=fd38232f3f914454 *B.J.

In this episode we discover how an unknown Jazz guitarist, born in Bonham Texas became not only the new musical voice in Benny Goodman's popular swing band but actually created the template that virtually all guitarists after him would follow. He re-invented not only swing and jazz but laid the foundation for rock and roll as well. Hear the story behind the music of this short lived but eternally relevant Texas icon.

The commission for a new Clarinet Concerto from the great American composer Aaron Copland came from a rather unlikely source: Benny Goodman, the man known as the King of Swing. Goodman was one of the most famous and important jazz musicians of all time, but in the late 1940s, swing music was on the decline, and bebop had taken over. Goodman experimented with bebop for a time but never fully took to it in the way that he had so mastered swing. Goodman then turned towards the classical repertoire, commissioning music from many of the great composers of the time, such as Bela Bartok, Darius Milhaud, Paul Hindemith, Francis Poulenc, and of course, Aaron Copland. Copland eagerly agreed to the commission, and spent the next year carefully crafting the concerto, which is full of influences from Jazz as well as from Latin American music, perhaps inspired by the four months Copland spent in Latin America while writing the piece. What resulted from all this was a short and compact piece in one continuous movement split into two parts. With an orchestra of only strings, piano, harp, and solo clarinet, Copland created one of the great solo masterpieces of the 20th century. It practically distills everything that makes Copland so great into just 18 minutes of music. Today on the show we'll talk about the difficulty of the piece, something that prevented Benny Goodman from performing the concerto for nearly 2 years, as well as the immense difficulty of the second movement for the orchestra. We'll also talk about all of those quintessentially Copland traits that make his music so wonderful to listen to, and the path this concerto takes from beautiful openness to jazzy fire.
