This episode features a writer who would be familiar not only to Hull residents but also to keen telly watchers, radio listeners and theatre goers across the country. Alan Plater was born in Jarrow in 1935  but having moved to Hull when he was just three years old, the city was pleased to adopt him and he lived there for much of his life. His most famous writing credit was probably Z Cars. Alan Plater was also a huge fan of jazz music and his ITV comedy drama The Beiderbecke Affair staring James Bolam and Barbara Flynn in the mid 1980s was a massive success. He went on to win countless awards and accolades for his wonderful writing. Alan Plater was enormously generous with his time, and made a huge contribution to the Hull arts scene of the 1960s and 70s, developing a gentle friendship with Philip Larkin along the way. This speech was recorded on 28th November 1998,  and was given at that year's PLS AGM.   Thank you so much to Alexandra Cann who is the agent for the Alan Plater Literary Estate Ltd for giving us the initial approval to use this recording, and to Steve Plater and John Rubinstein who are the joint Directors of the Lit Estate. If you are interested in seeing an Alan Plater play this summer, then the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough is putting on a production of the Blonde Bombshells of 1943 which is full of swing and jazz, from 2-26th August 2023. https://sjt.uk.com/events/blonde-bombshells-of-1943 References: Alfred Bradley https://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/about/successes/alfred-bradley-award/ ·         The Occasional Smell of Fish (poem) ·         Waiting for Gladys (Becket parody) ·         Bete Noire (Hull poetry journal) ·         Z Cars One Day In Spring Street ·         Jazz Notes- BBC radio programme ·         On Sunday January 4th I had Mild Constipation ·         Names (poem written for Three Trawlers fundraising) ‘my only grown up poem' ·         Swallows on the Water (play) ·         The Fosdyke Saga sonnet ( BBC radio tripe themed -parody of The Forsyth Saga,)- sent a copy to Larkin who responded with a signed copy of the High Windows calling him ‘sonnetteer extraordinaire' ·         Sweet Sorrow (1990) Plater's play about Larkin Matthew Arnold, Ogden Nash, Dylan Thomas, Alan Bleasdale, Ted Hughes, Barry Hines, Vera Wise, Henry Livings, Alex Glasgow, Carla Lane, Adrian Mitchell, Allan Ginsburg, Carole Mills (rude songs and low down blues), Robin Kay (flamenco guitarist), Max Boylett (jazz pianist), Ian Clarke and Chris Rowe, Sid and Norm (artists without category), Joe Orton, The Beatles, John Ford (director of westerns), Roger McGough, Jimmy James (music hall performer),Ken Wagstaff- (footballing hero), Fleur Adcock, Jeff Nuttall (had a pee in a bucket on stage), Roni Scott, Suzi Quatro, Mike Bradwell (theatre director), Jess Stacy (jazz pianist), Shakespeare, Max Wall, Peter Brooke (director),  and many more Hull poets listed by Plater.

Two folky tunes from Burl Ives start us off. A jolly orchestrated(Percy Faith) version of Oh! Dear! She's wonderful beautiful and the more pared down Bonnie Wee Lassie. Ives spent the 1930s travelling the USA as an Itinerant musician and developed his singing career via the radio. He was also a well known actor, his most famous acting role was probably as Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Old favourites Carroll Gibbons, Len Fillis Roberto Murolo, Archie Lewis, Ted Heath, Bob and Alf Pearson and Harry Roy return. Edna Kaye does vocals for Gibbons. A new Italian singer joins us though, Carlo Butti.  We have Miss Lee Wiley, whose jazz singing career was at its peak from the 1930s to 50s. She had a short tempestuous marriage to Jess Stacy, the jazz pianist. Great voice. Big Bill Campbell was a Canadian born purveyor of Cowboy music here in Britain- I'm Rocking to the Rockies is jolly and cheesy. Nowt wrong with that. Ted Wallace and his Campus boys provide some lovely 30s music and vocals. Wallace was Wallace T Kirkeby, manager of the highly prolific Californian Ramblers. Must play them again. Penultimate record is Jimmie Rodgers, Blue Yodel from 1927. So bluesy, great lyrics. Just to prove we like a good mix of music on Forgotten Songs we go out with The Jacques String Orchestra and Berinice by Handel.  How Highfalutin is that!  

Benny Goodman the sideman!

Three dance records to start us off. Two different takes on the accordian - Jimmy Shand with Scottish dance in strict tempo and the far from strict tempo Bob Skyles and his Sky Rockets with 'Swinging with the accordian man.' Then its authentic Canadian Square Dance with the Red River Boys on the Melotone label. Also up: Anne Shelton, Savoy Havana Band, Harry Roy and his Ragamuffins and Sid Philipps and his band and Lita Rosa(pictured). Phylis Robbins, Sheffield's blonde bombshell, we've played her before doing a comedy song but this is a straight rendition of a love song- rather good too. Randolph Sutton from 1930 and ' Put your troubles through the mangle.' To our ears its more social history than comedy. A change of genre and country, two from France: Jean Sablon and Charles Trenet. Trenet sings the lovely 'La Mer.' To take us out we have both sides of a Mugsy Spanier record, 'Someday sweetheart and That Da Da Strain. In between its the pared down simplicity of Jess Stacy, Gene Krupa and Israel Crosby and Barrel House. Top tunes, one and all, in their very own way.  

It seems like Almost Yesterday that a new musical sound came up the Mississippi from the south. It moved north with the orchestras of the river excursion boats. Thus, Cape Girardeau was among the first communities in the nation to receive this new music. Almost all large cities on the inland waterways had excursion boats that remained in the community from Memorial Day in May to Labor Day in September. During the day the boats would take special excursions or picnic tours, followed by night time moonlight dances. There were other excursion boats that moved up and down the great rivers, stopping at various communities to do one-day or one-night events. There were also packet boats that made regular stops at specific locations. These vessels hauled freight, livestock and passengers. Almost all of these steamers had musical groups that entertained passengers during meals and provided music for evening dances. In 1921 two young men from Cape Girardeau, Jess Stacy and Raymond F. “Peg” Meyer

This week's Piano Jazz presents an episode from the early years of the program with guest Jess Stacy (1904 – 1995), who came out of retirement to appear on the show in 1982. One of the leading pianists of the swing era, Stacy was best known for his work with the Benny Goodman Orchestra and had a prolific career before stepping back from the music world in the 1950s. In this classic session from the archives, Stacy needs no introduction as he starts the show with a solo performance of "Dancing Fool." McPartland joins to end the hour with "St. Louis Blues."

Playlists for all past Sets of Jazz Gumbo will be found at jazzgumbo.blogspot.ca Some Highlights: The Benny Goodman Orchestra’s “Sing, Sing, Sing” had become a band and audience favorite by the time they performed at Carnegie Hall in 1938, and they closed a very successful show with the version that opens this Set. Drummer Gene Krupa drives the 8-minute number, but it’s full of great horn flourishes and solos, by Goodman on clarinet, Babe Russin on tenor, Harry James on trumpet, more of Benny, then Jess Stacy of piano. It’s brilliant! What a show that must’ve been. George Duke wrote and arranged “Be Cool” and leads a group of All-Stars for another rousing live performance, this time at Montreux. Many of these musicians had never performed together, and according to all accounts, the rehearsals were horrible. But the live show brought the magic. Solos by Duke and by flautists Hubert Laws and Bobbie Humphrey, with a rhythm section that includes Billy Cobham on drums, Alphonso Johnson on bass and with Bob James conducting. Bennie Maupin’s “The Jewel in the Lotus” is one of those very special albums with a mood all its own, perfect for middle-of-the-night magic and mellowness. It features the most earthy of acoustic bassists in Buster Williams. Thanks to my Polish family for the Możdżer, Danielsson & Fresco cd. I don’t know any of them. Their tune here is shimmering, sizzling & sweet. I’ll be re-visiting this album soon. Ray Bryant delivers a rapturous solo piano performance. Kenny Garrett is his usual driving, dynamic self. And War, probably my favorite group from my teens, shows you why, with their natural, funk and roots sound. That's not even the half of it! I could go on and on and on. But I’ll leave it with you. Thrive! Kirby

May 30th, 1909 is the birthday of Benny Goodman and as I do every year I would like to pay a birthday salute to Benny. On the show today, I have picked out two radio remotes from when Benny and his orchestra were appearing at The Madhattan Room of the Hotel Pennsylvania in October of 1937. The first remote comes from October 20th and the second one from October 16th of 1937. There is some great music in these remotes and in addition to the orchestra we'll hear from Martha Tilton on vocals and Jess Stacy on piano. This would have been Benny's 109th birthday so I hope you enjoy the music as we wish Benny a happy birthday. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com

On this date in 1938, Benny Goodman and his band played the first jazz concert at Carnegie Hall in New York. Here are some things you may not have known about the concert, the landmark recording of it and Carnegie Hall in general. Until 1938, Carnegie Hall had been been a venue exclusively for classical music. It opened in 1891, built by Andrew Carnegie, who pronounced his name slightly different from the common name of the hall. It was built as the venue for the Oratorio Society of New York and the New York Symphony. Its original name, which remains above the marquee was simply “Music Hall.” After two years, the directors of the hall persuaded Carnegie to allow the theater to be renamed “Carnegie Hall.” The New York Symphony eventually merged with the Philharmonic Society of New York to form the New York Philharmonic.  Benny Goodman was a clarinetist whose band was one of the first well-known racially integrated bands.  The idea of playing at the Carnegie Hall started as a publicity stunt by Goodman’s publicist. Goodman seized on the idea and canceled several already-set concerts to work toward the landmark performance. The concert was sold out weeks in advance with a top price of $2.75, which is equivalent to about $50 today. The concert began with three contemporary songs, followed by a chronological history of jazz.  The show featured performances by Goodman’s big band, his trio, his quartet and guests including Count Basie and Duke Ellington. The highlight of the night was probably Goodman’s signature tune “Sing, Sing, Sing,” which featured solos by Goodman, along  with Babe Russin on tenor sax, Harry James on trumpet, Gene Krupa on drums and an unexpected piano solo by Jess Stacy. Stacy, who usually played rhythm on the song, said he was unprepared for the solo, but what he ended up playing has been hailed as a masterpiece linking jazz and classical music, which was quite appropriate for the venue. Stacy was glad he didn’t have warning of his solo. He said he would have gotten nervous and screwed it up. The concert was recorded for personal use, and the original masters gathered dust until 1950, when Goodman brought them to Columbia Records. The resulting album, “The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert” was the first double album and has never been out of print since its release. It’s one of the best selling jazz albums of all time. Carnegie Hall had its first rock and roll show in 1955, when Bill Haley and His Comets played a benefit show. In 1964, The Beatles played two shows on their first tour of the United States. The New York Philharmonic moved to the new Lincoln Center in 1962. Carnegie Hall was saved from the wrecking ball in 1960 when the City of New York purchased it. Our question: In which country was Andrew Carnegie born? Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States.  It’s unofficially Elementary School Teacher Day, National Fig Newton Day, and National Day of Service. It’s the birthday of singer and actress Ethel Merman who was born in 1908; zoologist Dian Fossey, who was born in 1932; and playwright, songwriter and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is 37. Because our topic happened before 1960, we’ll spin the wheel to pick a year at random. This week in 1977, the top song in the U.S. was “I Wish” by Stevie Wonder. The No. 1 movie was “The Enforcer,” while the novel “Trinity” by Leon Uris topped the New York Times Bestsellers list.  Weekly question: What is the name of the current venue of the New York Philharmonic?
