Tonight's Jazz Feature is one of the first great soloists on the vibraphone: the amazing Lionel Hampton. This was his first session after he signed up with Jazz producer Norman Granz. Granz wished to present the artistic side of Lionel and this recording does the job in a big way. Lionel, who's style works in so many contexts is joined here for the first time by the great Canadian pianist Oscar Peterson, bassist Ray Brown and master drummer Buddy Rich. The band selected the 6 tunes and delivered them with swing and soul. All of this was recorded in New York on September 2, 1953. Lionel the magnificent!

Hey everyone, welcome to the twelfth Divergent Paths cut scene. This was originally included at the end of C1E115 Down the Rabbit Hole. It took place in the same chamber where Collateral Damage found the machine in Granz City. It follows the other party working with the Journeyman, the Circle of Friends. It details the destruction of part of the machines pulling the planes together. The party doesn't know this information, but now you do.

Im Hauptstadtstudio kommen Julien und Bene wieder zusammen. Und sie sind nicht alleine. Sie haben sich nämlich Caterina Granz zur Verstärkung eingeladen. Cati ist Leichtathletin, Olympionikin, Nike-Athletin und Berlinerin. Durch eine Verletzung ist sie fürs Training aufs Rad umgestiegen und pflügt jetzt durchs Berliner Umland und die Alpen. Wir reden mit ihr über ein Leben zwischen Party und Profisport, das Leben im olympischen Dorf und ihre Ambitionen auf dem Rad.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a one time meeting of two great Jazz stars. They knew one another but never played together and were brought together by the producing genius of Norman Granz. Granz was one of the great entrepreneurs of Jazz. Tenor saxophonist Stan Getz was one of the major voices of that instrument and vibraphonist Lionel Hampton was one of the pioneers of that instrument and had been prominent since the early 1930s. Creative sparks flew on this session and the combination of Getz and H Hampton worked beautifully. The rhythm section was made up of people who worked with Getz throughout most of 1955 and Lou Levy is on piano, Leroy Vinnegar is on bass and the drummer is the magnificent Shelly Manne. The repertoire is a collection of good standard tunes, a ballad medley and two up tempo burners. Enjoy this classic one time get together from August 1, 1955. Hamp and Getz!

This is year 2 of our competition series centered around the NBA Playoffs. Granz, Tense, and Kevin are competing to see who will gain the most points for their series predictions each round.

The separated party makes each individual move back to the same goal: stopping the Constable. The majority of the party heads to Belrondis where Zechs is debriefed and asks for help with the planes colliding. The guild members tell him to take it up with the old man. Glad has a meaningful vision of her god The Protector regarding beings known as the Daughters of Creation. She also makes the journey to the Feywild to meet with King Oberon. Shanks gains some insight into himself and his past with Mr. Bell and is sent into Granz City to find the underground passages that will lead to the machines. As the party and Glad reunite and traverse back across Granzia to Granz City, Shanks makes his way through the Fey Steps and finds the remnants of the Tell-Tale Guild. He makes a deal with them to save his life and a sacrifice to a mysterious god called Elrin...

Es waren keine einfachen Jahre für die Olympia- und WM Teilnehmerin über 1500m Caterina Granz. Umso mehr beeindruckt ihr Comeback bei der Cross DM in Löningen mit Platz 4 und damit die erreichte Qualifikation für die EM in Turin. Dazwischen liegen Monate von Zweifel am Sport und dem Sinn des täglichen Quälens. Zum Glück waren es „nur“ Gedanken und nun ist der Fokus wieder klar eingerenkt. 2024 ist das Ziel und damit die zweiten Olympischen Spiele. Dafür ist das Comeback definitiv ein starker und motivierender Anfang. Also einfach weiter machen. Der Podcast wird präsentiert von Regulatpro Sport.

The names Hawkins, Webster, Benny Carter, Fitzgerald, Peterson, Gillespie are ones that are associated with the deepest traditions in jazz. They played and continually evolved to stay current or ahead of the curve. They were the founding mothers and fathers of jazz and paved the way for future leaders in the improvisational music world. There legacy lives on in large part to their playing and the promotion that comes with that. If you don't have a forum or an advocate for your art what good is it really. For these legends they had the strongest advocate in Norman Granz. Granz was a tireless promoter, critic and transformational figure in jazz. He owned record labels, made sure that his concerts in the south were desegregated, stood up to racial prejudices at home and abroad, and in his own idiosyncratic way endeared himself to legions of jazz fans because he promoted the music and the people behind the music. Money was not supreme for Norman Granz- the music was. Today I was joined by Tad Hershorn an archivist at the institute of jazz studies at Rutgers University and author of the new book Norman Granz - The man who used Jazz For Justice

When the great Canadian pianist Oscar Peterson first toured he made a plan, and he stuck to it. Peterson said, “If the only way I was going to make it was to frighten the hell out of everybody pianistically—if that's what it took to get the attention—then that's what I would do my best to do.”Footage of Peterson (1925-2007) making the comment appears in Oscar Peterson: Black + White, a documentary by veteran filmmaker Barry Avrich. The film slightly recasts the great piano virtuoso. During his life, he was well known for his formidable technique and charming, even ebullient presence, but some of his peak came during an era of significant Black empowerment, and the great pianist was occasionally shrugged off as an entertainer rather than a freedom fighter, a blanket charge that even Louis Armstrong faced. But the documentary is corrective, dwelling on Peterson's “Hymn to Freedom,” a song that was important to the Civil Rights movement. This song, and the fact that Peterson's star has faded a bit in the music community since his death in 2007, provided Avrich's motivation in making the film.Oscar Peter: Black + White Trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxYywC_4nGsOscar Peterson, Hymn to Freedomhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCrrZ1NnCuMThe great impresario Norman Granz heard him in 1949, brought him to New York, and placed him on his enormously popular Jazz at the Philharmonic tours, which enabled him to play with and alongside many if not most of the jazz legends of the era.Norman Granz (August 6, 1918 – November 22, 2001) was an American jazz record producer and concert promoter. He founded the record labels Clef, Norgran, Down Home, Verve, and Pablo. Granz was acknowledged as "the most successful impresario in the history of jazz". He was also a champion of racial equality, insisting, for example, on integrating audiences at concerts he promoted.Norman Granz opposed racism and fought many battles for his artists, many of whom were black. In 1955, in Houston, Texas, he removed signs that previously designated "White" and "Negro" restrooms, outside the auditorium where two concerts were to be performed by Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie. Between the two shows, Fitzgerald and Gillespie and Illinois Jacquet were shooting small-stakes dice in the dressing room to kill time, when the local police barged in and arrested them. After some negotiations, the artists were allowed to perform the second show and later were formally released on $50 bail. Granz, incensed by the incident, insisted on successfully fighting the charges, which cost him over $2,000.Oscar Peterson recounted how Granz once insisted that white cabdrivers take his black artists as customers, while a policeman pointed a loaded pistol at his stomach. Granz also was among the first to pay white and black artists the same salary, and to give them equal treatment even in minor details, such as dressing rooms.Granz also spearheaded the fight to desegregate the hotels and casinos in Las Vegas, arguing that it was unfair that black artists could perform on the stages, but could not stay or gamble at the hotels, or even enter through the front doors.Granz was also interested in art, developing a friendship with Pablo Picasso, whom he met in 1968.Mick Smith, Consultant M: (619) 227.3118 E: mick.smith@wsiworld.com Commercials Voice Talent:https://www.spreaker.com/user/7768747/track-1-commercials Narratives Voice Talent:https://www.spreaker.com/user/7768747/track-2-narrativesDo you want a free competitive analysis?

Negli ultimi anni sono stati pubblicati diversi importanti inediti di grandi protagonisti della vicenda del jazz: un trend che si è confermato anche nel 2020. Nell'autunno scorso la Verve/Universal ha pubblicato, col titolo The Lost Berlin Tapes, un concerto del 1962 di Ella Fitzgerald a Berlino. Ella era stata con grande successo a Berlino nel 1960, e dalla sua esibizione era stato ricavato (e pubblicato a tamburo battente dalla Verve nello stesso anno) Ella in Berlin - Mack The Knife, che diventò uno dei più popolari album della cantante. Così Ella tornò a Berlino anche nel '61: questa esibizione è stata documentata dall'album Ella Returns to Berlin, pubblicato però solo trent'anni dopo, nel '91. Ella tornò anche nel '62, in una Berlino ormai divisa dal muro, e ora abbiamo a disposizione anche il suo concerto di quell'anno, che era stato registrato dal produttore e manager della Fitzgerald Norman Granz, e che poi fra tanti album della cantante pubblicati da Granz era rimasto nel cassetto, e che meritava invece senz'altro di vedere la luce: la registrazione è ottima, e in una prestazione - punteggiata da uragani di applausi - forse addirittura migliore di quella del suo classico Ella in Berlin, Ella Fitzgerald è travolgente e commovente.

Nelle note di copertina di The Montreux Collection, Norman Granz cita Oscar Peterson, che a proposito di Montreux '75 dice: "dappertutto sentivi che tutti non vedevano l'ora di cominciare a suonare: era qualcosa". Peterson ci aiuta ad immedesimarci in una situazione in cui si è creato un mondo del jazz: Granz ha portato al festival una rappresentanza del mondo del jazz tanto nutrita e tanto qualitativamente elevata da creare lì, a Montreux, un mondo del jazz, da far sentire nel loro mondo i musicisti che ha invitato, anche se si trovano in Svizzera, sulle rive del lago di Ginevra. In effetti nel loro habitat naturale, nella loro attività abituale, negli Stati Uniti, a New York, raramente potevano darsi in realtà delle così forti concentrazioni di musicisti di così alto livello: ecco allora la bellezza della formula di grandi assortimenti di musicisti ideata da Granz, ed ecco la funzione dei grandi festival, anche dei festival che si svolgevano in Europa. Da The Montreux Collection ascoltiamo altre formidabili combinazioni di musicisti: un quartetto con Oscar Peterson al piano, Milt Jackson al vibrafono, Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen al contrabbasso e Mickey Rocker alla batteria; un sestetto con Count Basie al piano, Johnny Griffin al sax tenore, Jackson al vibrafono, Roy Eldridge alla tromba, Orsted Pedersen al contrabbasso e Louis Bellson alla batteria; e inoltre Ella Fitzgerald in The Man I Love.

Nel '73 il grande impresario Norman Granz, che nella prima metà degli anni sessanta aveva venduto la Verve, fonda una nuova etichetta, la Pablo. A Montreux nel '75, nell'ambito di una serie di "Pablo Nights", Granz schiera una impressionante quantità di personaggi di assoluto rilievo, fra cui Gillespie, che in una delle serate si esibisce alla testa di una formazione a cui verrà intestato uno degli album che la Pablo ricaverà da questa edizione del festival: The Dizzy Gillespie Big 7 at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Oltre a Gillespie i Big 7 allineano Milt Jackson al vibrafono, Eddie Lockjaw Davis e Johnny Griffin ai sax tenori, Tommy Flanagan al piano, Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen al contrabbasso e Mickey Roker alla batteria: tutti musicisti di primissimo ordine quando non dei veri pezzi da novanta della vicenda del jazz.

Ella & Louis è il titolo del primo dei tre album raccolti nel triplo Cd pubblicato dalla One Records: si tratta di tre album famosissimi, ma che è sempre un piacere riascoltare. A corredo la ristampa propone anche due duetti della Fitzgerald e di Armstrong durante un famoso concerto all'Hollywood Bowl, che comprendeva un ampio cast di musicisti, fra cui Art Tatum: quel concerto, tenutosi alla vigilia della registrazione di Ella & Louis, rappresentò la loro prima registrazione assieme per l'impresario Norman Granz. La Fitzgerald e Armstrong appartenevano a due generazioni diverse: quando negli anni trenta Ella muove i primi passi della sua carriera, Armstrong è già riconosciuto come un fuori classe: e prima di questi album le loro incisioni comuni sono poche. Per vari motivi che spieghiamo in questa puntata, l'operazione messa in piedi da Granz con Ella & Louis era complessa e non priva di rischi, ma tutto funzionò egregiamente, e l'album ebbe un eccellente risultato di vendite, tanto che Granz pensò rapidamente ad un bis, l'album Ella & Louis Again, inciso nel '57, a cui seguì poi l'interpretazione di Porgy & Bess, incisa a ruota sempre nel '57.

William "Sonny" Criss had a career that seemed to go in fits and starts. Sonny emerged early on the 1940's L.A. Jazz scene with his full-bodied sound and passionate approach and played with all the important players then went on to play with Norman Granz' Jazz At The Philharmonic travelling jam session and shared the stage with Charlie Parker, Fats Navarro, Hank Jones, Shelley Manne and others. He made his first recordings under his name for Granz in 1950. His career was stifled by changing styles in L.A. and Criss was brushed aside by the West Coast Jazz cool players. Sonny was a hot, passionate player with a sweeping sound all his own. We turn to one of his 3 albums he made for the small Imperial label in 1956. The title tells it all "Sonny Criss Plays Cole Porter". Ten great Porter songs played with beauty and originality with Sonny's alto in the lead and backed by Larry Bunker on vibes, Sonny Clark on piano, Buddy Clark (no relation) on bass, and Lawrence (aka Larence) Marable on drums. Criss was born in Memphis on October 23, 1927 and died by his own hand in Los Angeles on on Nov. 19,1977 at age 50 after a diagnosis of terminal cancer of the stomach. A great voice was lost and Sonny still seems under appreciated and we hope tonight's Jazz Feature rectifies this a bit. Sonny was a great player and always delivered!

Tonight we are celebrating the birthday of one of the great pioneers of Jazz: Lionel Hampton. Lionel wasn't the first to play the vibraphone nor was Louis Armstrong the first to play the trumpet, nor Coleman Hawkins the first to play the tenor saxophone but each of these pioneers developed a concept on their chosen instrument that generations of players followed. Hampton lived to the ripe old age of 94 and achieved much in has long career. Tonight's Feature is the beginning of his association with the great impresario, Norman Granz. Granz was not interested in Hampton's band but his artistry on the vibraphone. Hampton began a series of recordings where he was evenly matched with three music masters: pianist Oscar Peterson, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Buddy Rich. Tonight's Feature is their first meeting and it's some of the best music Hampton has ever played. Standards, blues and ballads are all given royal treatment by four masters.Almost all of the tunes were first "takes".

Of all the bands that tenor saxophone giant Stan Getz put together, this one is the least documented. It was formed in 1953 and worked on the East Coast but Stan bought a house in Los Angeles and took the band out there to play gigs in that area. They made three recording sessions for Norman Granz in July and August 1953 and we'll hear some of the results of those. They were first issued on Granz' Clef and Norgran labels as "Interpretations #1 #2 #3 by the Stan Getz Quinttet".The group consisted of Getz, Bob Brookmeyer on valve trombone, Johnny Williams, piano, Teddy Kotick on bass and the underrated drummer Frank Isola. Getz and Brookmeyer had a unique musical chemistry that allowed them to weave lines together and improvise collectively almost like a modern Dixieland band, Pianist Johnny Williams' contributions to this band are enormous as he plays with the stabbing intensity of Horace Silver and Russ Freeman but sounds like only himself. Bassist Teddy Kotick was Charlie Parker's favourite and Bird called Teddy..."my heartbeat". Frank Isola was a subtle and swinging drummer who kept everything light and very swinging.Jimmy Giuffre said that this quintet was Stan Getz' best band and you'll hear why. It broke up in the late Fall of 1953 because of a lack of work but Getz re-united it for his legendary Shrine Auditorium concert in November 1954.
