46:05 – Bessie Smith’s first five recording sessions for Columbia Records, which made her a star and got her dubbed the Empress of the Blues. These sessions cover the first half of 1923, and also feature (at the piano) Clarence Williams on the first two sessions and Fletcher Henderson on the latter three. This show […]
"Escuché a Fletcher Henderson, a Duke Ellington y a Jimmie Lunceford. ¡Nunca había oído algo así! ¡Qué presentación escénica! Todo era perfecto. Vestidos impecablemente, la música era perfecta. Por supuesto, Duke era único en su clase... ¡hasta que Jimmie Lunceford apareció en escena! Lunceford apareció y de alguna manera sacudió a Duke. A veces eran tan geniales que simplemente hacían lo que querían. Cuando llegó Jimmie Lunceford, molestó a todo el mundo". Bobby Plater. Con José Manuel Corrales.
Today's show features music performed by Fletcher Henderson and Howlin' Wolf
Le premier orchestre de jazz moderne. Voilà ce qu'a inventé Fletcher Henderson, chimiste de formation et pianiste cultivé, qui au milieu des années 20, joue chaque soir au Roseland Ballroom de New-York. Pour se faire, Henderson a plusieurs atouts dans sa manche. Don Redman, premier à comprendre que l'arrangeur est celui qui va donner un son identifiable à l'orchestre, Louis Armstrong et Coleman Hawkins. Voilà quelques-unes des stars qui ont fréquenté l'orchestre !Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.
L'histoire du jazz est peuplée de big-bands légendaires. Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Glenn Miller et Buddy Rich pour n'en citer qu'une poignée. Or, il y en a un dont on parle un peu moins et qui pourtant fut d'une importance considérable : et pour cause, c'était l'un des pionniers. Dès le début des années 20, il fit la transition entre les orchestres de jazz et de dixieland venus de la Nouvelle-Orléans, et les big-bands de l'ère du swing. Comment ? En organisant les différentes sections de l'orchestre, et en leur écrivant des arrangements sur mesure. A sa tête ? Fletcher Henderson, l'alchimiste du jazz ! Hébergé par Ausha.

"Aparte de Duke Ellington, la sección de trombones de Lunceford es la más perfecta que he escuchado. Trummy Young es la gran estrella aquí. Su forma de tocar es increíblemente contundente.

ESTÁNDARES SEMANALES.-Tin Roof Blues.-VINILOS MÍTICOS DEL JAZZ..La historia de Benny Goodman.--JAZZACTUALIDADJOVEN BIG BAND SEDAJAZZ-IN BLOOM La historia de Benny Goodman es una película biográfica musical estadounidense de 1956, protagonizada por Steve Allen y Donna Reed , escrita y dirigida por Valentine Davies y estrenada por Universal-International . La película fue concebida como una continuación del éxito de Universal de 1954, La historia de Glenn Miller , que narra la vida de un popular director de orquesta.El joven Benny Goodman recibe clases de clarinete clásico de un profesor de música de Chicago. El director de orquesta Kid Ory le aconseja tocar el género musical que más le guste. Benny comienza su carrera profesional uniéndose a la banda itinerante de Ben Pollack . Más tarde, en Nueva York, donde su nueva banda recibe una tibia acogida, Benny conoce al amante del jazz John Hammond y a su hermana Alice. Lo invitan a la majestuosa casa de los Hammond para interpretar el Concierto para clarinete de Mozart . Alice teme que se sienta incómodo, pero su interpretación es impecable y Benny agradece su preocupación. Las actuaciones de Benny en un popular programa de radio los sábados por la noche hacen que Fletcher Henderson se ofrezca como voluntario para hacer algunos arreglos. En la costa oeste, el comienzo temprano del programa ha convertido la música de Benny en una sensación entre las generaciones más jóvenes. Forma un cuarteto con Gene Krupa en la batería, Teddy Wilson al piano y Lionel Hampton al vibráfono . El romance con la chica de sociedad Alice es desconcertante para la madre de Benny, pero para cuando su hijo toca en el Carnegie Hall , todo está bien y la Sra. Goodman ha invitado personalmente a su futura nuera a sentarse a su lado. Concierto en directo grabado el dia 22 de Julio de 2024 dentro de las sesiones organizadas por el colectivo Sedajazz en el centro cultural La Rambleta en Valencia.

El swing dio origen a bailes específicos, como el Suzy Q y el Lindy Hop; este último fue el baile más acrobático, enérgico y elegante de la era del swing. También desafió la creatividad: las parejas solían diseñar nuevos pasos, saltos y giros en sus casas para lucirlos en el baile del sábado. El Lindy Hop no se enseñaba en escuelas de baile, como la moda anterior, el fox-trot, sino que se desarrolló espontáneamente, en casas particulares y en los salones de baile. Con José Manuel Corrales.
Bajo la dirección de Harold Oxley, la banda consiguió un nuevo contrato discográfico. Decca pronto se convertiría en una empresa emprendedora, especializada en música de moda a precios reducidos.

Josephine Baker was only 20 years old when she recorded the song “Dinah” at her first studio session 98 years ago this fall. That was just a year after the provocative dancer/singer arrived in Paris, immediately setting the town on fire with her risqué shows at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.And a West Virginian was right there to help her light those blazes.Ada “ Bricktop” Smith, a young Alderson, WV, native, was in Paris several years ahead of Baker, entertaining at composer Cole Porter's famous parties, often teaching his guests the latest dance crazes, such as the Charleston and the Black Bottom. Josephine Baker always acknowledged she was one Ada Smith's protégés in those heady early days of The Jazz Age.“I didn't get my first break on Broadway,” Baker told London's Guardian a half century later. No, she was just a nameless hoofer in the chorus line in those New York shows, she said, but “I became famous first in France in the Twenties.”“Oh yes,” she added, “Bricktop was there. Me and her were the only two, and we had a marvelous time. Of course, everyone who was anyone knew Bricky. And they got to know Miss Baker as well."Ada Smith became one of 1920s' best known American singers/dancers, owning the famed “Chez Bricktop” in Paris from 1924 to 1961. She even got a shout-out in Woody Allen's hit film, Midnight in Paris, in 2011 when the character of Zelda Fitzgerald proposes an evening's escapade:In the next scene, Cole Porter, the Fitzgeralds and their fabulous friends pile into a period open car and tear down Parisian streetd into the night.Ending up at Chez Bricktop, they watch Josephine Baker dance (and the Fitzgeralds drink…)Back to the Song“Dinah,” considered an anthem of the Roarin' Twenties, was not quite two years old when Josephine Baker recorded it that autumn day in 1926 in Paris.It was back in The States that she learned the hot number when she sang it at New York's Plantation Club on Broadway as the understudy to Ethel Waters.Obviously, the song was still much on Baker's mind when she strolled into the Odeon studio for her first recording session. The band recruited to accompany her on the date is thought to be members of a group called “Olivier's Jazz Boys.”“Dinah” by then had been introduced to the world by Waters within a year of its composition in 1925. After it was recorded by Waters for Columbia in 1926, the song went on to be waxxed by everyone from Fletcher Henderson and Cab Calloway to Bing Crosby, the Mills Brothers and the Boswell Sisters to Chet Baker, Thelonious Monk and Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli.And, as noted in an earlier Flood Watch article, the tune was famously among the favorites of trumpeter Louis Armstrong, who perform it in most of his numerous live shows and his radio appearances for decades after initially recording it in 1930.Our Take on the TuneWhenever the guys haven't seen each other for a couple of weeks, there's always a special joy when they all get back together again. That was certainly the case at last week's rehearsal. Add to that the fact that Floodster Emeritus Paul Martin dropped by to sit in. That always cranks up the energy level in the room. And you can just hear in this first tune of the evening. This is a public episode.

Arthur Lee Simpkins was an African-American singer with a unique talent. He was born in South Carolina in 1907, where he became known as the "Black Caruso" in reference to the legendary opera singer Enrico Caruso. In 1936, Simpkins recorded a hit version of "Sing, Sing, Sing" with Fletcher Henderson and His Orchestra. That record jump started Simpkins career, allowing him to perform a wide variety of music ranging from classic standards to operatic renditions, and not just different genres, but in many different languages and dialects. Simpkins performed on television regularly during the medium's early days, and also appeared in movies, like the film Why Men Leave Home in 1951. He was last remembered for singing at the memorial for legendary R&B legend Sam Cooke in 1964. Tragically, Simpkins died from a routine bladder operation in 1972 and was largely forgotten. You will hear Arthur Lee Simpkins sing three songs on the David Rose Show on CBS Radio in 1950. More at KrobCollection.com

We're going to hear two major forces that shaped the world of jazz. Fletcher Hamilton Henderson was a pianist, bandleader, arranger and composer, important in the development of big band jazz and swing music. Henderson was one of the most prolific black musical arrangers and, along with Duke Ellington, is considered one of the most influential bandleaders in jazz history. He helped bridge the gap between the Dixieland and the swing eras, attracting new young talent to the genre. Fletcher Henderson and his band perform on the radio show Jubilee in 1945. "Dizzy" Gillespie was a jazz trumpeter, bandleader, composer, educator and singer. Gillespie became a major figure in the development of bebop and modern jazz in the 1940s and 1950s, becoming one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time". You will hear him perform on the show, This Is Jazz in 1960. Details at http://krobcollection.com

In 1921, a man named Harry Pace started the first major Black-owned record company in the United States. He called it Black Swan Records. In an era when few Black musicians were recorded, the company was revolutionary. It launched the careers of Ethel Waters, Fletcher Henderson, William Grant Still, and Alberta Hunter, artists who transformed American music. But Black Swan's success would be short-lived. Just a couple years after Pace founded the company, larger, wealthier, white competitors started to take an interest in the artists whose careers Pace had propelled. Then, Pace's own life took a mysterious turn. This episode was originally published in 2021.

®Da domenica 25 giugno a domenica 23 luglio 2023L'arte dell'arrangiamento nasce con lo sviluppo negli anni '20 e '30 di orchestre jazz che, a differenza dello stile originario di New Orleans, nel loro repertorio prevedono vere e proprie parti per scritte in alternanza a quelle improvvisate. Campioni del genere furono Paul Whiteman, Don Redman, Fletcher Henderson, per arrivare poi a Duke Ellington e Count Basie.Questa tradizione fu tenuta viva durante l'era dello swing (Goodman, Miller, Dorsey...) e si sviluppò poi nel secondo Dopoguerra parallelamente alla nascita degli stili moderni, il be-bop e il cool jazz.In questa serie di Birdland Claudio Sessa ci introduce al moderno concetto dell'arrangiamento jazz, considerando dapprima l'influenza e il lascito di Count Basie e passando poi in rassegna le varie tendenza e le figure più rappresentative nei vari ambiti: Harry Paich, la “variabile impazzita” Stan Kenton, Jimmy Giuffré e altri tra i californiani; la raffinatezza un po' intellettuale di Gil Evans, George Russell, Gerry Mulligan; e ancora Charles Mingus, Oliver Nelson e Quincy Jones tra gli sperimentatori o Claud Ogerman e Nelson Riddle specializzati nella collaborazione con i cantanti.Prima emissione dal 25 febbraio 2023

Campioni del genere furono Paul Whiteman, Don Redman, Fletcher Henderson, per arrivare poi a Duke Ellington e Count Basie.Questa tradizione fu tenuta viva durante l'era dello swing (Goodman, Miller, Dorsey...) e si sviluppò poi nel secondo Dopoguerra parallelamente alla nascita degli stili moderni, il be-bop e il cool jazz.In questa serie di Birdland Claudio Sessa ci introduce al moderno concetto dell'arrangiamento jazz, considerando dapprima l'influenza e il lascito di Count Basie e passando poi in rassegna le varie tendenza e le figure più rappresentative nei vari ambiti: Harry Paich, la “variabile impazzita” Stan Kenton, Jimmy Giuffré e altri tra i californiani; la raffinatezza un po' intellettuale di Gil Evans, George Russell, Gerry Mulligan; e ancora Charles Mingus, Oliver Nelson e Quincy Jones tra gli sperimentatori o Claud Ogerman e Nelson Riddle specializzati nella collaborazione con i cantanti.Prima emissione dal 25 febbraio 2023

This week, the Fletcher Henderson Band, led by one of the more unlikely and reluctant leaders in jazz, but easily one of the most talented. Fletcher Henderson, nicknamed "Smack," for the way he smacked his lips, apparently even in his sleep, was born in Cuthbert, Georgia, in 1897 to a middle-class African American family. In 1922 he formed his own band. His first steady gig with his band was at the Club Alabam on Broadway in 1924, but only after the band's players—not Henderson—talked their way into auditioning for their first long-term engagement.

I have been looking forward to this one because I love music. I love all kinds of music, and today we are going to talk about Jazz. Jazz is one of the earliest forms of pop music in The United States and Jazz is a distinctively American style of music originating in the early decades of the 20th century. Its roots include Afro-American folk music traditions, such as spirituals, work songs, and blues. Jazz music is much more lively and upbeat than blues music. Jazz is often associated with swinging and swaying movements, lively atmospheres and improv. Lots of modern musicians will say they are greatly influenced by Jazz. Some of the great Jazz musicians include Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Bessie Smith, Fletcher Henderson, and Billie Holiday. In fact, Performers like Elvis Pressley, Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, The Grateful Dead, and Aerosmith all talk about their Jazz influences. Music styles like Rock, R&B, Hip-hop, Latin, and others that produce a swaying rhythm have been influenced by Jazz. In today's podcast we have a very special guest, the very accomplished Loren Schoenberg. He is the Founding Director at The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, a published author, and teaches Jazz History at The Julliard School in NYC. Always more to learn. Talk to you soon.

Sun Ra (born Herman Blount) was a talented pianist and composer who played and arranged for one of Fletcher Henderson's last bands. He began collecting a company of musicians around him in the 1950's including tenor saxophonist John Gilmore, baritone saxist Pat Patrick, altoist Marshall Allan and others. They created a music that began as hard bop, moved through soul and then became something quite extraordinary! Here are examples (issued as singles on Ra's label Saturn) from all those periods --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-clark49/support
In 1921, a man named Harry Pace started the first major Black-owned record company in the United States. He called it Black Swan Records. In an era when few Black musicians were recorded, the company was revolutionary. It launched the careers of Ethel Waters, Fletcher Henderson, William Grant Still, Alberta Hunter, and other influential artists who transformed American music. But Black Swan's success would be short-lived. Just a couple years after Pace founded the company, larger, wealthier, white competitors started to take an interest in the artists whose careers Pace had propelled. Then, Pace's own life took a mysterious turn. This episode originally aired on NPR's All Things Considered in 2021.
