Bob Crosby and His Orchestra carved a pretty unique career for itself in the Swing Era - specializing in tunes from the previous decade done up in swing clothes, the chief arrangers were clarinetist Matty Matlock and bassist Bob Haggart. Here is a selection of Haggart's arrangements featuring Yank Lawson, Sterling Bose and Billy Butterfield on trumpets, Warren Smith, Buddy Morrow and Floyd O'Brien on trombones, Irving Fazola and Matty Matlock on clarinets, Eddie Miller on tenor sax, Bob Zurke, Joe Sullivan and Jess Stacy on pianos, Nappy Lamare on guitar, Ray Bauduc on drums and himself on bass! 1936-42. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-clark49/support

Playlist Track Time Start Time Opening and Introduction (Thom Holmes) 11:57 00:00 1. Herbie Hancock, Herbie Hancock Demonstrates The Rhodes Piano (1973 Rhodes). A terrific flexi-disc produced by Rhodes and narrated by Hancock who tells an interesting story about his first encounter with the instrument on a Miles Davis session and then he walks the keyboard through a series of effects. He speaks with the authority of a proud electronics tinkerer who understands the nuances that make this instrument so beloved by jazz musicians. This flexi-disc was originally delivered in the November 8, 1973 issue of Down Beat magazine. I provide both sides of the disc, in entirety. Tunes included during the demonstration include parts of Watermelon Man, Maiden Voyage, and The Spook. Soloist, Rhodes Electric Piano, Voice, Herbie Hancock. I thought it would be wisest to lead off this podcast with an overview of the Rhodes even though it is out of chronological sequence, being from 1973. We then go back a few years to hear tracks in proper time order. 12:48 11:57 2. The Don Ellis Orchestra, “Open Beauty” from Electric Bath (1967 Columbia). Alto Saxophone, Flute, Soprano Saxophone, Joe Roccisano, Ruben Leon; Baritone Saxophone, Flute, Bass Clarinet, John Magruder; Bass, Dave Parlato, Frank De La Rosa; Bass, Sitar, Ray Neapolitan; Congas, Bongos, Chino Valdes; Drums, Steve Bohannon; Leader, Trumpet, Don Ellis; Percussion, Alan Estes; Piano, Clavinet, Fender Electric Piano Fender, Mike Lang; Tenor Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Ron Starr; Tenor Saxophone, Flute, Piccolo Flute, Clarinet, Ira Schulman; Timbales, Vibraphone, Percussion , Mark Stevens; Trombone, Dave Sanchez, Ron Myers, Terry Woodson; Trumpet, Alan Weight, Bob Harmon, Ed Warren, Glenn Stuart. 5:33 24:44 3. Miles Davis, “Stuff” from Miles In The Sky (1968 Columbia). I think this was Miles' first album recorded using the Fender Rhodes, played by Herbie Hancock. See the opening tracks from this podcast for a story about this session from Hancock. Bass, Ron Carter; Drums, Tony Williams; Piano, Fender Electric Piano, Herbie Hancock; Tenor Saxophone, Wayne Shorter; Trumpet, Miles Davis. 16:59 30:14 4. Joe Zawinul, “The Soul Of A Village (Part II)” from The Rise & Fall Of The Third Stream (1968 Vortex). Zawinul, along with Hancock, was an early adopter of the Fender Rhodes.

J & K “Mojave” from Betwixt & Between (1969 A&M, CTI). “J” is J.J. Johnson (trombonist) and “K” is Kai Winding (trombonist). Their ensemble included Roger Kellaway playing the electric clavinette. An example of using the clavinet in jazz. This was most likely a Hohner Clavinet Model C which had just been introduced in 1968. Recorded at Van Gelder Studios during late 1968. 2:31 53:54 7. Albert Ayler, “New Generation” from New Grass (1969 Impulse). An electric harpsichord played by Call Cobbs adds some subtle comping to this buoyant tune written by Ayler, Mary Parks, Rose Marie McCoy.

Sun Ra And His Intergalactic Research Arkestra, “Black Forest Myth” from It's After The End Of The World - Live At The Donaueschingen And Berlin Festivals (1971 MPS Records). You can hear Sun Ra enticing other-worldly sounds from a Farfisa organ beginning at about 1:35. Recorded in 1970. Of the many electronic keyboards heard elsewhere on this album (and occasionally on this track), here the Farfisa is heard the most.

Recorded at Ballon Theater, Cairo, Egypt December 17, 1971. Sun Ra playing several electronic keyboards in turn, the organ, Minimoog, and Rock-si-Chord. What I hear is some organ (Farfisa?) in the opening, then Sun Ra turns to a wild exchange between the Minimoog (monophonic) and Rock-Si-chord (polyphonic) during the second half of the track. Alto Saxophone, Congas, Larry Northington; Alto Saxophone, Flute, Danny Davis, Hakim Rahim; Alto Saxophone, Flute, Oboe, Marshall Allen; Baritone Saxophone, Pat Patrick; Baritone Saxophone, Flute, Danny Thompson; Bass Clarinet, Elo Omoe; Composed By, Arranged By, Piano, Organ, Minimoog, Rock-Si-Chord, Sun Ra; Engineer Recording Engineer, Tam Fiofori; Percussion, Lex Humphries, Tommy Hunter; Photography By, Sam Bankhead; Photography Liner Photo, Mike Evans; Producer, Infinity Inc.

The great jazz funk flutist Bobbi Humphrey released a series of albums around this time that often-featured fantastic synthesizer players. Here you can pick out the Minimoog by Don Preston and the ARP (Odyssey?) by Larry Mizell. The synths included here are in contrast to the more experimental sounds that Herbie Hancock was issuing at the same time. Flute, Vocals, Bobbi Humphrey; ARP Synthesizer, Larry Mizell; Minimoog, Don Preston; Bass, Chuck Rainey; Congas, King Errison; Drums, Harvey Mason; Electric Piano Fender Rhodes, Fonce Mizell, Larry Mizell; Guitar, John Rowin, Melvin "Wah Wah" Ragin; Percussion, Roger Sainte, Stephany Spruill; Piano, Jerry Peters; Produced by Chuck Davis, Larry Mizell; Trumpet, Fonce Mizell. 6:39 2:06:19 20.Ramsey Lewis, “Jungle Strut” from Sun Goddess (1974 Columbia).

RMI Harmonic Synthesizer, Clark Ferguson. 2:43 2:20:24 23. Fernando Gelbard, “Sombrero De Flores” from Didi (1974 Discos Redonde).

Producer, Engineer, Piano, Electric Piano, Moog, Oberheim, and the Freeman string synthesizer; digital sequencer, Drums, Percussion, Composed by, Jan Hammer. 4:29 2:32:26 26.Larry Young's Fuel, “Moonwalk” from Spaceball (1976 Arista).

Scott Yanow, de Allmusic , afirma: "Hamilton se combina en un sexteto con el flagelero Clark Terry, el trombonista Britt Woodman, el pianista Tommy Flanagan, el bajista Wendell Marshall y el baterista Mel Lewis para un conjunto de blues en su mayoría. Terry y Woodman son bastante exuberantes en todo momento". [4] All About Jazz lo llamó "un álbum muy fuerte, y tiene un swing de jonrón". Todas las composiciones de Jimmy Hamilton. 1.

Hamilton nación en Dillon (Carolina del Sur) y creció en Filadelfia. Tras aprender a tocar el piano y otros instrumentos musicales en la década de 1930 comenzó a tocar en bandas locales antes de decantarse por el clarinete y el saxofón. En 1939 tocó con Lucky Millinder, Jimmy Mundy y Bill Doggett, uniéndose al sexteto de Teddy Wilson en 1940. Después de dos años con Wilson se unió a Eddie Heywood y Yank Porter. En 1943 sustituyó a Barney Bigard en la orquesta Duke Ellington, con la que permaneció hasta 1968. Su estilo era muy diferente como clarinetista y saxofón, siendo mucho más fluido y correcto con el clarinete. Escribió algunas obras propias durante su tiempo con Ellington. Después de dejar la orquesta Ellington tocó y compuso de forma independiente antes de viajar en la década de 1970 a las Islas Vírgenes de los Estados Unidos para dar clases de música, aunque regresó ocasionalmente a los Estados Unidos para participar en varios conciertos. Tras retirarse de la enseñanza continuó actuando con varios grupos en 1989-1990. Hamilton murió en Saint Croix en 1994. JAZZ ACTUALIDAD .- Esta semana tendremos a Chano Dominguez & Javier Colina - Chano & Colina. El contrabajista Javier Colina y el pianista Chano Domínguez son dos de los mejores músicos de jazz que se pueden escuchar hoy en Europa, y en última instancia poco tienen que envidiar a los norteamericanos. De la calidad de estos dos músicos da cuenta ‘Chano&Colina’, un disco grabado en directo el 19 de enero de 2017 en la Sala de Cámara del Auditorio Nacional de Música en Madrid. Javier Colina y Chano Domínguez se conocen tan bien, son tan cómplices, que no necesitan grandes esfuerzos para armar un concierto a una altura superior. No hay que olvidar que ambos trabajaron durante muchos años juntos, al inicio de sus carreras, por así decir, cuando eran miembros, junto con el baterista Guillermo McGill,el Chano Domínguez Trio. A lo largo de su trayectoria hay una evidencia que ha quedado muy acreditada: Javier Colina es, de largo, el contrabajista que mejor acompaña a los pianistas cuando se forma un dúo de contrabajo y piano. Sólo dos muestras de muy alto nivel; su disco con Tete Montoliu y el acompañamiento que realizó a Bebo Valdés en la Sala de Cámara del Kursaal en San Sebastián durante el 38 Jazzaldia. Los diez temas que interpretan son tanto temas propios como ajenos y su acercamiento varía desde el jazz tradicional, la jazz flamenco y en muchas ocasiones entreverado con los sonidos latinos, vía Cuba. Entre los primeros están ‘Luces de la Fragua’ el único tema de Colina que, además abre la sesión; por su parte Domínguez aporta, ‘Habanera de la Habanera’, uno de los grandes momentos del concierto y ‘Para Chick’, donde meten una buena morcilla de ‘Lágrimas negras’. Entre los segundos, se encuentran ‘Canción de amor’ y ‘Ziryab’, ambas firmadas por Paco de Lucía y que los dos músicos ya tocaron en ‘Diez de Paco’, un disco que llevaba la firma de Jorge Pardo; y después hay un buen número de estándares de jazz, tales como You the night ant the music (Schwartz & Dretz), My one and only love (Wood & Mellin), ‘We will meet again’ (Parker&Charles), ‘You must belive in spring’ (M. Legrand) y ‘Serpent’s tooth’ de Miles Davis,, con el que se cierra el disco. ‘Chano&Colina’ de Javier Colina & Chano Domínguez es una fiesta del jazz. Q.E.D.

This is the last part of my series on bandleaders who played the same instrument. Today we wind up with the trombonists and these were some of the most popular bands. We'll be hearing from Tommy Dorsey, Jack Teagarden, Glenn Miller, Buddy Morrow, Will Bradley and a few others. It is a good program with some toe-tapping music. I hope you enjoy this program especially if you are a fan of the trombone. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com

Today I had an opportunity to talk with one of my personal clarinet and saxophone heroes: Ken Peplowski. In this interview we talk about clarinet and saxophone techniques, jam session etiquette, equipment, being a professional musician, Benny Goodman, and house parties. Mr. Peplowski has had an incredible career as a musician with 40 CD's as a soloist and over 400 as a sideman. Peplowski's career includes playing in a polish polka band as a child, working in the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra under the direction of Buddy Morrow, studying with Sonny Stitt, and touring with Benny Goodman.
