Well with this tenth part we are bringing to a close my revisited series. Today's show features the band of the great trumpeter Charlie Spivak.  He played with some of the top bands in the late 1930's like Bob Crosby (1938), Tommy Dorsey (1938–1939), and Jack Teagarden (1939) before launching his own band. The vocalist on most of these recordings is his wife Irene Daye. I hope you enjoy these great side by the big band of Charlie Spivak. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com

This week's show is a belated birthday salute to a great trumpeter and bandleader, Charlie Spivak. Charlie was an exceptional trumpet player who, despite having been around jazz musicians all his life, rarely improvised. I recorded a show on the Spivak Orchestra several years ago and decided a few weeks ago to revisit his band. He was a member of several top name big bands before launching one of his one. Glenn Miller was one of his backers. We will be listening to some of the early original recordings that feature Charlie's wife, vocalist Irene Daye. These are some great sides by a Big band leader and a trumpet master. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com

This week I would like to celebrate two Big Band stars who have a birthday in the month of January, Gene Krupa and Roy Eldridge. Gene was born on January 15th and Roy was born on January 30th. Part one features the music of Gene Krupa and part two features Roy. Since Roy was a member of the Krupa band I have reserved those recordings for Part two. Gene's band recorded some of the Big Band era's biggest hits. Roy played with many of the big band era's top bands so part two will be a more varied show.

Empezamos con la orquesta del batería Gene Krupa y su cantante Irene Daye, en 'Drum boogie', un disco de 1941. Aquel mismo año Krupa tocó este número en la película 'Bola de fuego', cantado por Bárbara Stanwyck. La película, una variación del cuento de Blancanieves y los Siete Enanitos, trata de una cantante de cabaret, novia de un gángster y fugitiva de la ley, que se refugia en la casa donde unos sabios ingenuos redactan una enciclopedia. En 1948 se rodó una nueva versión, 'Nace una canción', con los sabios convertidos en famosos músicos de jazz, como Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman o Tommy Dorsey. Ahí Virginia Mayo cantaba 'Daddy-O'. En otra película americana, de 1941, Connie Boswell, rodeada de sonrientes mecanógrafas, soñaba despierta con La Habana y todavía notaba la sensación de la arena en sus zapatos. Dos años más tarde, en Italia, lo que tenía en el zapato Natalino Otto no era arena sino una una china: 'Ho un sassolino nella scarpa'. También sobre zapatos era 'Shoes with wings on' (Zapatos con alas), un número que estrenó Fred Astaire y que escuchamos en versión instrumental por el organista Guus Jansen. Otra canción sobre zapatos, concretamente sobre el oficio de zapatero, se estrenó en España en 1932 en un sainete de los hermanos Álvarez Quintero, con música de Francisco Alonso. La grabó Trini Avellí. Más antigua, de 1921, es la canción 'There'll be some changes made', el reproche de una persona que no ha sido tratada con la consideración que merece. La grabó en 1939 Mildred Bailey. También de cambiar de pareja habla otra canción que estrenó Fred Astaire y que escuchamos a Ella Fitzgerald, en un disco de 1958. Hoy nos deleitamos con dos discos de gramófono grabados en España a finales de los años cuarenta: 'Muñequita linda', por Mario Rey, y 'Mirando al mar', por Alfredo Alcácer. Terminamos con 'Multiplication', un disco grabado hace medio siglo por Bobby Darin para la película 'Cuando llegue Septiembre'. Escuchar audio
