BIRTHDAYS

1896 Frank Black, Bandleader
b. Philadelphia, PA, USA. d.

1903 Joe Britton, trombone
b. Birmingham, AL, USA. d. 1972.
(Worked with "Sister" Rosetta Tharp.)
Biography
A sweet home Alabama fellow, this trombonist was among the second
generation of professional American jazz musicians and also straddled
the worlds of blues and R&B, poking the long slide of his trombone
into any combo that was lucky enough to have him. His credits are
lengthy following his student days under the guidance of Fess Whatley.
Classic blues singer Bessie Smith took him on the road from 1924
through 1926 as a member of her backing group, at first the Fred
Longshaw Orchestra and then the Bill Woods Orchestra.

The next year, he jumped to an outfit called Frank Bunch & the Fuzzy
Wuzzies, most likely the most obscure name in the list of the groups he
played for. He settled in New York in the '30s and fastened a grip on
that city's fast-moving and faster-growing jazz scene, working with
Ellsworth Reynold's Bostonians, Teddy Hill, the band of classic jazz
drummer Kaiser Marshall, Charlie Johnson, Edgar Hayes, and the Vernon
Andrade Orchestra. Positions with bigger jazz names were his in the
'40s: he worked with saxophonist and composer Benny Carter from
1940-1941 and modern trumpet maestro Dizzy Gillespie, while at the same
time collaborating on older styles of jazz. It was his chance to
finally work with Jelly Roll Morton, with whom he also gigged and
recorded in that decade, and Kansas City jazz pioneer Jay McShann. He
also worked with Lucky Millinder for three years beginning in 1942.

Blues shouter Wynonie Harris was also a frequent employer, and although this
was not always a gig that provided a trombonist with a lot of solo
space, Britton shows up on a half-dozen of Harris' raunchy R&B
records, not to mention compact disc box set reissues. He also plays in
a similar vein on recordings by Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Britton also
performed and recorded with the great jazz pianist Earl Hines. The
trombonist dabbled into orchestra arrangements and his work in this
field is spotlighted on the album Breaks, Blues and Boogies by fellow
bone-man Vic Dickenson. Britton retired from full-time professional
playing in the '50s, but gigged off and on into the '60s, including a
regular stint in a band led by saxophonist Wesley Fagan.

1915 Richard Thomas "Dick" Vance, Trumpet
b. Mayfield, KY, USA. d. 1985
Biography
Dick Vance was a fine trumpeter who unfortunately did not solo on record all
that often. He grew up in Cleveland and, after a short period playing
violin, Vance switched to trumpet. He worked in J.Frank Terry's band in
Cleveland and then was with Lil Armstrong's little-known orchestra
(1934-35). After moving to New York, Vance played with Willie Bryant,
Kaiser Marshall and then more importantly Fletcher Henderson's
Orchestra (1936-38) where he was the lead trumpeter and an occasional
vocalist. Vance joined Chick Webb's Big Band in 1939, staying with the
organization for a couple years after Ella Fitzgerald took over (after
Webb's passing), arranging many of the charts.

Vance then had stints with Charlie Barnet, Don Redman, Eddie Heywood's Sextet
(1944-45), Ben Webster and others. He attended Juilliard Institute
during 1944-47, played in pit orchestras for decades and Vance
contributed arrangements to many orchestras including those of Duke
Ellington, Harry James, Cab Calloway and Earl Hines. He was also part
of Fletcher Henderson's last Sextet (1950), was with Duke Ellington
during 1951-52 (arranging most of the music for the album Ellington
'55), toured with Don Redman (1953) and played frequently in the Savoy
Ballroom in the 1950's. Later in his life he toured Europe with Eddie
Barefield in 1969. Dick Vance led two obscure albums in his career, one
apiece for Sue (1962) and Strand (from the mid-60's).

1907 George Godfrey Wettling, Drums
b. Topeka, KS, USA.
d. June 6, 1968, New York, NY, USA.
Played with Bunny Berigan, Eddie Condon, Benny Goodman;
Jack Hylton; Red Norvo; Artie Shaw; Paul Whiteman.
Biography
One of the great Dixieland drummers, George Wettling's ability to alertly
change patterns behind each soloist usually inspired the other
musicians to play their best. He was part of the Chicago jazz scene of
the 1920s (where he moved with his family in 1921), and Baby Dodds was
his main idol. Wettling, who recorded with Paul Mares in the mid-'30s,
was still mostly an unknown when he came to New York in 1935, playing
briefly with Jack Hylton Orchestra. He did a fine job with Artie Shaw's
1936 big band, as well as the orchestras of Bunny Berigan (1937), Red
Norvo, Paul Whiteman (1938-1940), and Muggsy Spanier. However, his most
rewarding work was done with small groups, notably his sessions in 1938
with a trio also including Bud Freeman and Jess Stacy; he also recorded
with Jimmy McPartland, Wingy Manone, and Eddie Condon.

The Condon connection was most significant, for after stints with Joe
Marsala and Ben Pollack, Wettling became a regular with Condon on his
Town Hall broadcasts and at his club. Wettling's "day job" was as a
staff musician at ABC (1943-1952). He worked off and on with Condon to
the end of his life and also gained some notoriety for his abilities as
an artist (some of his work appeared on album jackets) and as an
occasional jazz critic for Downbeat and Playboy. He played with
virtually everyone in the Chicago jazz field, as well as Benny Goodman,
Billie Holiday, Sidney Bechet, and even Chico Marx. Although he did not
lead bands on a regular basis for long (due to excessive alcohol
consumption), George Wettling led excellent Dixieland dates for Decca
(1940), Black & White (1944), Keynote, Stycon, Columbia (1951),
JSP, Kapp, and Stereocraft (1958).

1907 Joe Bishop
Trumpet/Flugelhorn
b. Monticello, AR, USA
d. May 12, 1976, Houston, TX, USA.

In the late 1920s, after graduating from Hendrix College, he began
playing tuba with the Louisiana Ramblers; then mellophone (hybrid of
the tuba and the euphonium) with Mart Britt's Band. Back to the Tuba
with the Al Katz, Austin Wylie, and Isham Jones bands. Also played with
Cow Cow Davenport, and Jimmy Gordon. In 1931, it was the arrangements
by Bishop and Gordon Jenkins that gave the Isham Jones band their
excellent ensemble sound. With the disbanding of the Isham Jones band,
clarinetist Woody Herman used the nucleus to form his own first
orchestra. (Musicians referred to the orchestra as "the Isham Jones
Alumni Band".)
Bishop was Woody's chief arranger, and arranged
(and co-wrote with Herman) Woody's all-time favorite, "Woodchopper's
Ball." Other Bishop compositions and arrangements include "Be Not
Disencouraged", "Ain't It Just Too Bad", "Out of Space", "Blue
Prelude", "Blue Evening", and "Blue Flame," which was used as the
Herman band theme in the early 1940's.

1912 Muzzy Marcellino
leader/violin
d. 1997
Biography

If you've ever noticed the haunting whistling featured in "The Good,
the Bad, and the Ugly," the theme composed by Ennio Morricone for the
Sergio Leone spaghetti Western of the same name starring Clint
Eastwood, then you've heard Muzzy Marcellino's famous whistle at its
best. He also whistled The High and the Mighty theme, and his
mellifluous pucker also is featured on Esquivel's Latin-esque album.

Hollywood and advertising agencies routinely called on Marcellino's
distinctive talent for whistling throughout the 1950s and into the
1960s. Even Disneyland got in on the act, using the famous whistler's
birdcalls for its Tiki Room. Recorded whistles were not Marcellino's
only connection to the music world. During the early '30s, he lent his
talents to the Lofner-Harris Orchestra and played the Hotel St. Francis
in San Francisco.

He also worked with other ensembles, among them the
Ted Fio Rito Orchestra in 1935. The gig with Fio Rito
led to appearances in a few films, including Twenty Million Sweethearts
and The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. Toward the end of the decade,
Marcellino led his own ensemble, accompanied by vocalist Gloria De
Haven, who later moved on to a successful film career. He employed his
talent for whistling only infrequently with his band.

After a decade, Marcellino disbanded his group of musicians. He worked for a
time on radio with Dick Powell before Art Linkletter hired him to lead
an ensemble on House Party, Linkletter's television program. Marcellino
held the position of Linkletter's musical director for almost two
decades, leaving in 1969. Capitol issued a recording of Marcellino from
his House Party years. He also co-wrote several numbers for the Mickey
Mouse Club with Jimmy Dodd.

Lewis; Mitchell Ayers; Eddie Condon; Benny Goodman; George Paxton; and
was heard on NBC & CBS radio programs.

1913 "Mr. Q" piano/harmonica
b. Winston Salem, NC, USA.

Early on, he played piano (self taught), and later, after migrating to
Harlem (New York), he got a job playing harmonica with the Savoy
Sultans, then the house band (1937-'46,) at the famed Savoy ballroom.
(Leader was reedman Al Cooper (né: Lofton Alphonso Cooper, 1911-'81),
his half-brother bassist Grachan Moncur (b. Sept. 2, 1915), Rudy
Williams on reeds (b 1909, Newark NJ, USA; d Sept. 1954, and drummer
Razz Mitchell, who used a riveted Chinese sizzle cymbal.)


1904 Eddie South, Violin
b. Louisiana, MO, USA.
d. April 25, 1962, Chicago, IL, USA.

Intensive study of music from age 10, then at Chicago College of Music,
and in Paris, and Budapest. He may have been best musician to play
authentic jazz violin (although other violinists such as Joe Venuti,
Stephane Grappelli, and Stuff Smith wasn't slouches either). A very
happy-go-lucky personality made him a favorite wherever he went.
Biography

One of the top violinists of the pre-bop era, Eddie South was a
brilliant technician who, were it not for the universal racism of the
time, would probably have been a top classical violinist. A child
prodigy, South graduated from the Chicago Music College. Since
classical positions were not open to black violinists in the 1920s,
South learned to play jazz (helped out by Darnell Howard). In the early
to mid-'20s, he worked in Chicago with Jimmy Wade's Syncopators,
Charles Elgar, and Erskine Tate. South's 1928 visit to Europe (where he
studied at the Paris Conservatoire) made a deep impression on the
violinist, particularly his visit to Budapest; later on, he would often
utilize gypsy melodies as a basis for jazz improvising.

In 1931, South returned to Chicago, where his regular band included the
young bassist Milt Hinton. In 1937, he visited Paris and had the
opportunity to record with Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli.
However, South never really had a major breakthrough commercially in
his career. He did work on radio and television, but spent most of his
life in relative obscurity, gigging in New York, Los Angeles, and
especially Chicago. Eddie South's early recordings (covering 1927-1941)
have been reissued on a pair of Classics CDs. In later years he
recorded for Chess and Mercury, and also made a final set released by
Trip.

1914 Warren Vache, Sr., acoustic bass
b. New York (Brooklyn), NY, USA.
d. Feb. 4, 2005, Rahway, NJ, USA

In 1997, Warren and his wife Madeline (née: Sohl) celebrated their
'Golden Wedding Anniversary'. The couple had two sons, flügelhorn and
cornetist Warren Jr., and clarinetist Allan Robert, both professional
Jazz musicians. For many years, Vache led his own Jazz band, "The
Syncopatin' Six." (And, currently (2005) there is at least one CD
available named "Jazz: It's a Wonderful Sound," on which Warren is
heard playing with a group consisting of his own son Warren Vache'Jr.,
Dick Wellstood, Dawes Thompson, George Masso. Johnny Blowers, and the
late Clarence Hutchenrider. His son, Warren Vache Jr., after studying
with Pee Wee Erwin, gained his early experience playing with the
orchestras of Benny Goodman, Vic Dickenson, and Bob Wilber.

With the demise of the Big Bands era, Vache Jr worked in local venues
and starting in the mid-'70s, led his own small group. He also often
teamed with tenorman Scott Hamilton. His other son, Allan, was greatly
influenced by the playing of Benny Goodman. In 1975, he graduated from
Jersey City State College, where he pursued his music interest, and
later became a student of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra's David
Dworkin.

He also studied with traditional jazz clarinetist Kenny Davern.
Allan has since worked with such men as Dick Hyman, Pee
Wee Erwin, Lionel Hampton, Max Kaminsky, Bobby Hackett, Gene Krupa,
Clark Terry, Dick Wellstood, Bob Wilber, Cliff Leeman, and Wild Bill
Davison. He has been heard on radio (A Prairie Home Companion and
Riverwalk, Live From the Landing), TV (Austin City Limits), and he has
been seen on film (1998's 'The Newton Boys').

In addition to his recordings for the Arbors, Audiophile, and Jazzology,
labels, he has about a dozen albums for the German label Nagel-Heyer,
(half as leader) with bands that include the Florida All-Stars, Swingtet, and
the Big Four. Vache Sr. was the founder of the American Jazz Hall of
Fame, and co-founder of both the New Jersey Jazz Society, and the
American Federation of Jazz Societies. For 15 years, he edited the
magazine "Jersey Jazz". He also authored six books.

LYRICS:

"Lucky Boy"

~Irving Berlin

Your smiling face is an open book, young man
We know that look, young man

You must be oh, so happy

It's just a case of love that took, young man
There are quite a few who envy you

Lucky boy, she's a beautiful thing
Lucky boy, will you give her a ring
Lucky boy, we suppose in the Spring

You will take your pride and joy
On a train and her leather suitcase
Will contain bits of satin and lace
It's as plain as the nose on your face

How we envy you, lucky boy

I must confess that you pave the way for me
You really say for me

The things I want to tell you
You'll never guess what a lucky day for me
When I found that she had chosen me

Lucky boy, she's a beautiful thing
Lucky boy, I'm as proud as a king

Lucky boy, when I give her the ring
Can't you see me jump with joy

With a cheer and a "whatta we care"
We'll appear in a bungalow where
In a year, maybe three of us there

How we envy you, lucky boy

1907
Franklyn Taft "Frank" Melrose
piano/Leader/composer
b. Sumner, IL, USA. d. Sept. 1, 1941, near Hammond, IN, USA. aka: "Kansas City Frank".
Orig.
studied violin, then self taught on piano. Among the men who played in
"Kansas City Frank's" band were Jelly Roll Morton and Pete Daily (n»:
Thaman Pierce Daily. b. May 5, 1911, b. Portland, IN, USA. d. Aug. 23,
1986, Los Angeles, CA, USA. age:75 cornet/leader.)
Frank Melrose had a piano style that was often quite similar to Jelly Roll Morton's.
He is best-known for his work in the late 1920s. Melrose spent
nearly all of his working career in Chicago. He began on violin and
then was largely self-taught on piano. Melrose recorded with Junie and
Jimmy Cobb, Johnny Dodds, Jimmy Bertrand, the Beale Street Washboard
Band, the Windy Rhythm Kings, the Kansas City Tin Roof Stompers and the
Cellar Boys; he also recorded 13 titles as a leader from 1929-30, some
under the pseudonyms of Kansas City Frank or Broadway Rustus.

Although being in Chicago helped him gain some recognition in the late '20s,
Melrose's decision to stay in the Windy City resulted in his obscurity
during most of the 1930s. He worked at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair
with Bud Jacobson, taught music, was with Pete Daily briefly in 1940
and occasionally worked outside of music. Melrose worked in local clubs
up until his early death.

1909 Jimmie Revard, bandleader
b. Pawhuska, OK, USA,
d. April 12, 1991, Texas, USA.
"The Oklahoma Playboys"
Biography
Born into a musical Oklahoma family that had fiddled for generations, Jimmie
Revard moved to Texas before he became a teenager, but honored his home
state when he named his band Jimmie Revard's Oklahoma Playboys.
Revard's foray into the western swing scene of 1930s Texas began at St.
Mary's University and soon after, he recruited the Hofner brothers,
singer/guitarist Adolph and steel guitarist Emil. The band so impressed
a rep from Bluebird Records who had stopped by San Antonio to hear them
that he decided to record them immediately; "Oh! Swing It" was released
in October 1936.
After traveling around Texas, Revard moved the
band north to play at KOAM in Pittsburgh, but the pay was low, the
weather was cold, and the businessman behind the deal eventually went
bust. Adolph Hofner left first to start his own band in Texas. By
October 1938, Revard returned as well, but by 1939 he had had enough of
the traveling musician's life and quit at 30. After completing his
recording contract in 1940, he become a San Antonio policeman. After
the war, Revard performed locally, but never made another serious
attempt to record.

LYRICS:

Lovesick Blues
~Irving Mills and Cliff Friend

I got a feelin' called the blues,
Since my baby said good-bye
Lawd I don't know what l'll do
All I do is sit and sigh
That last long day she said goodbye
Well Lawd, I thought I would cry
She'd do me, she'd do you,
She's got that kind of lovin'
Lawd, I love to hear her
When she calls me sweet daddy

Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you somehow
But I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome, I got the lovesick blues

I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
That's whats the matter with me
I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
But she don't care about me

Lawd I tried and tried to keep her satisfied
But she just wouldn't stay
So now that she is leavin'
This is all I say...

"You're Driving Me Crazy!"
~(W. Donaldson)

You, you're driving me crazy!
What did I do? What did I do?
My tears for you make everything hazy, clouding the skies of blue
How true, were the friends who were near me to cheer me
Believe, me they knew, but you
Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me
When I needed you
Yes you, you're driving me crazy!
What did I do to you?

Biography
A
fine bop trombonist, Matthew Gee appeared on many sessions in the
1950's but was fairly obscure during the latter part of his life. Gee
started out playing trumpet, switched to baritone horn and settled on
trombone when he was 11. He studied at Alabama State, worked with
Coleman Hawkins, served in the Army and then played with Dizzy
Gillespie on and off during 1946-49. Gee had stints with Joe Morris,
the Gene Ammons-Sonny Stitt band, Count Basie (eight months in 1951),
Illinois Jacquet, Sarah Vaughan and Dizzy Gillespie (for a brief time
in his 1957 big band). He was a member of the Duke Ellington Orchestra
(intermittently during 1959-63) and in later years played with small
combos including those of Paul Quinichette and Brooks Kerr. Matthew Gee
just led one record date (Jazz By Gee, a Riverside set that has been
reissued on CD) and he co-led a 1963 Atlantic session (Soul Groove)
with Johnny Griffin. Gee also recorded with Lou Donaldson, Illinois
Jacquet and Ellington among others. His main influence was J.J.
Johnson.

1928 Etta Jones, Vocal
b. Aiken, SC, USA.
d. Oct 16, 2001, Mount Vernon, NY, USA.
Even
though Etta was nominated for two Grammy nominations, and had a Million
Seller Gold album. she never achieved truly great fame while enjoying a
50 year career as a singer. In 1943, at just age 15, Etta was already
working professionally as a member of pianist Buddy Johnson's big band,
and in 1944 recorded her first album. She left Johnson in 1944, but
continued singing and recording with such musicians as Earl "Fatha"
Hines, Barney Bigard, and J. C. Heard. By 1952, the Big Bands era had
ended, and Etta became a solo vocalist, -while working at "day" jobs to
make ends meet. She often worked odd jobs such as elevator operator,
seamstress and album stuffer.

In 1960, she became a nationally
known name when her recording of "Don't Go To Strangers", sold a
million copies earning her a Gold record. In 1968, Etta appeared in
Washington, D. C. for a gig with saxophonist Houston Person's Trio. The
chemistry between Etta and Houston was similar to that between Billie
Holiday and Lester Young, and Etta and Houston wound up staying
together for the next 28 years. In the early 1990s, she was diagnosed
with Cancer, but contined to work. She began collaborating with pianist
Benny Green and blues man Charles Brown. When Etta died, at age 72 due
to complications of her Cancer, the world lost a truly fine vocal
talent.

1910 William McLeish "Willie" Smith, Alto Sax
b. Charleston, SC, USA.
d. March 7. 1967, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Do Not confuse with "Willie The Lion" Smith (a pianist).
Started
playing at age 10. Attended Fisk Univ. in Nashville, TN where he met
Jimmy Lunceford, in whose band he later played.. Played With: Charlie
Barnet; Duke Ellington; Harry James; Jimmie Lunceford; Billy May's
Orchestra; Charlie Spivak
~Biography
In the 1930s,
Willie Smith ranked third among alto saxophonists, just behind Johnny
Hodges and Benny Carter. He had a distinctive sound and a swinging
style that was a major asset to Jimmy Lunceford's orchestra. Smith also
contributed occasional vocals ("Rhythm Is Our Business" was his
best-known recording) and some effective clarinet solos during the era,
in addition to writing some fine arrangements for Lunceford.

Willie
Smith started on clarinet, gained a chemistry degree at Fisk
University, and then became Lunceford's altoist in 1929. A superb lead
player and the strongest soloist in the ensemble-oriented orchestra,
Smith was one of the stars in the big band up until 1942. At that
point, underpaid by Lunceford and weary of nonstop traveling, he
departed. After a year with Charlie Spivak and a year in the Navy,
Smith joined Harry James' big band, where he was paid properly and
greatly appreciated. Well-featured with James, Smith stayed for seven
years the first time, before joining Duke Ellington in 1951 (as part of
"the great James robbery").

After helping Ellington make up
for the departure of Johnny Hodges, Smith spent time with Billy May's
orchestra at the time the arranger's big band was catching on, before
returning to James in 1954, where he stayed for another decade. He took
occasional time off for work with Norman Granz's Jazz at the
Philharmonic and was featured on some of Granz's Verve jam session
records, including 1953's Apple Jam. After largely retiring, Willie
Smith recorded his only full-length album for GNP Crescendo (1965) and
recorded with Charlie Barnet before passing away from cancer.

1897 "Willie "The Lion" Smith, Pianist.
b. Goshen, NY, USA. d. April 18, 1973.
né: William Henry Joseph Berthol Bonaparte Bertholoff.
Willie
was Born of Jewish and Negro parents. He remained unknown to the larger
Public until about the early 1930s. His father died in 1901, and Willie
took the surname - Smith - of his stepfather. It may have been his
bombastic speech and constant Cigar smoking that drew the public's
attention, but it was his excellent pianist style for which he is best
recalled today. He is one of the "originals" of Jazz Piano, and
influenced many others. He could on one hand conjure up some lovely and
haunting melodies, and the next moment play some powerful "Stride"
passages. In 1914, he first worked professionally (in Newark, NJ) and
was touring Europe in 1917. During WW1, he served with the 350th Field
Artillery and served in the Front Lines (for almost 33 days
continuously. His bravery earned him his nickname of "Willie The
Lion".)

During the 1920s, he had his own band (in Harlem, NYC)
at Leroy's and later at Harlem's 'Pod and Jerry's' club. He toured both
the USA and Canada working as a 'singles' act. During Prohibition, he
was playing piano at the OynxClub on New York's famed 52nd St (Swing
Street). His larger fame came in 1935 when he began recording for Decca
Records. During the 1940s, he freelanced in the NYC Clubs. He worked
with trumpeter Max Kaminsky at the Pied Piper (New York's Greenwich
Village area) in 1944. During 1949-50, he again toured Europe and a
stop in Morocco too. During the 1950s, he was a staple at the Central
Plaza sessions and in 1958 played at the Newport, RI, Jazz Festival.
Duke Ellington dedicated a composition to him - "Portrait of The Lion".

~Biography
Willie "The Lion" Smith in the 1920s was
considered one of the big three of stride piano (along with James P.
Johnson and Fats Waller) even though he made almost no recordings until
the mid-'30s. His mother was an organist and pianist, and Smith started
playing piano when he was six. He earned a living playing piano as a
teenager, gained his nickname "the Lion" for his heroism in World War
I, and after his discharge he became one of the star attractions at
Harlem's nightly rent parties. Although he toured with Mamie Smith (and
played piano on her pioneering 1920 blues record "Crazy Blues"), Smith
mostly freelanced throughout his life. He was an influence on the young
Duke Ellington (who would later write "Portrait of the Lion") and most
younger New York-based pianists of the 1920s and '30s. Although he was
a braggart and (with his cigar and trademark derby hat) appeared to be
a rough character, Smith was actually more colorful than menacing and a
very sophisticated pianist with a light touch. His recordings with his
Cubs (starting in 1935) and particularly his 1939 piano solos for
Commodore (highlighted by "Echoes of Spring") cemented his place in
history. Because he remained very active into the early '70s (writing
his memoirs Music on My Mind in 1965), for quite a few decades Willie
"the Lion" Smith was considered a living link to the glory days of
early jazz.

1927 Richard Macqueen "Dick" Wellstood, piano
b. Greenwich, CT, USA.
d. July 24, 1987, Palo Alto, CA, USA.
Played
with Sidney Bechet; Dukes of Dixieland; Roy "Little Jazz" Eldridge;
Conrad Janis; Gene Krupa; Jimmy McPartland; Charlie Shavers; Rex
Stewart; Bob Wilber; Worlds Greatest Jazz Band.
~Biography
One
of the two great stride pianists (along with Ralph Sutton) to emerge
during the 1940s when members of their generation were generally
playing bebop, Wellstood kept an open mind toward later styles (he
loved Monk) while sounding at his best playing classic jazz. A little
more subtle than Sutton, Wellstood was also a powerful pianist who was
a superb interpreter of the music of James P. Johnson and his
contemporaries.

He came to New York with Bob Wilber's Wildcats
in 1946 and caught on in the trad jazz scene quickly. By 1947 he was
playing with Sidney Bechet, and in the 1950s he mostly worked with
veteran players including trumpeters Roy Eldridge, Rex Stewart, and
Charlie Shavers and the Eddie Condon gang. He was in the intermission
band at Condon's starting in 1956 and later was house pianist at the
Metropole and Nick's. After a period with Gene Krupa's quartet, he
toured with the World's Greatest Jazz Band. Wellstood remained active
throughout his all-too-short life, playing solo concerts, performing at
jazz parties, and recording quite a few memorable albums.

Harry Barris, vocals
b. New York, NY, USA
d Dec. 13, 1962.
Best recalled as one of Paul Whiteman's 'The Rhythm Boys' (Barris, Bing
Crosby, and Al Rinker). It is little recalled now but it was Barris'
excellent Piano playing and song composisng that contributed greatly to
both The Rhythm Boys, in general, and Bing Crosby in particular,
success with the Whitman orchestra. Al Rinker was Vocalist Mildred
Bailey's brother. Bailey also sang with Whiteman's band. She Later
married Red Norvo and sang with his band.

The Rhythm Boys
(l-r) Harry Barris, Bing Crosby, and Al Rinker
Biography
From the mid-'20s through the '40s, composer, vocalist, and pianist
Harry Barris recorded with Paul Whiteman, Bix Beiderbecke, Bing Crosby,
and Duke Ellington and wrote pop standards such as "I Surrender Dear."
Born in N.Y.C., in 1905, Barris was raised in Denver, CO, where he
became a professional pianist by the age of 14. He was leading a
touring group by the age of 17, and in the mid-'20s, began singing with
Al Rinker and Bing Crosby, forming the Rhythm Boys vocal trio. Barris
wrote a lot of material for the group and they recorded with 1920s
cornetist Bix Beiderbecke, then became the featured vocalists of Paul
Whiteman's band.

The Rhythm Boys left Whiteman's band after the whole ensemble appeared
in the 1930 film King of Jazz. They performed in L.A. until Bing Crosby
quit to pursue a solo career. Barris led some bands of his own over the
next couple decades, including one that featured his wife Loyce
Whiteman as vocalist. Barris also fronted others' bands, such as Bob
Kinney's from 1936-1937, in
addition to performing on the radio. He also had occasional small roles
in films, including several of Bing Crosby's like Double or Nothing
(1937), as well as the movies Hollywood Party (1934) and Some Like It
Hot (1939).

Barris wrote several songs that became standards in pop music,
including "Mississippi Mud" (1924), "It Must Be True" (1930), "Wrap
Your Troubles in Dreams," "I Surrender Dear" (1931), and "Naturally"
(1938). For a year during WWII, Harry Barris went overseas and
entertained the troops along with comedian Joe E. Brown.

Rosa Henderson got her start in show business working in carnivals. In
1918 she married Douglas "Slim" Henderson and traveled with his
Mason-Henderson show. In the early 1920s she was appearing in musical
comedies in New York and London. Her recording career began in 1923 and
ended in 1932. Rosa pretty much left show business in the late 1920s
after the death of her husband. She appeared occasionally up until 1932
and then worked in a department store in New York.

1868
Scott Joplin
composer/piano
b. Texarkana, TX, USA
d. April 1, 1917, New York, NY USA
(Complications due to Tertiary Syphilis).
Known as the "King of Ragtime Composers". Works incl. "Maple Leaf Rag"
(1899); "Wall Street Rag", "Orig. Rag"; "Sugar Cane Rag"; and two
operas - "Tremonisha" and and "A Guest of Honour". Played with Queen
City Negro Band, and Texas Medley Vocal Quartet.
Biography
Ragtime was jazz's direct predecessor (differing from jazz in the
absence of blues and improvisation) and Scott Joplin was ragtime's
greatest composer. Joplin lived in St. Louis during 1885-93, playing in
local bars and clubs. In 1894 he led a band at the Chicago World's Fair
and formed the Texas Medley Quartet which played in vaudeville shows.
Relocating to Sedalia, MO, Joplin began having pieces published as
early as 1895 and in 1899 his "Maple Leaf Rag" (published by his
supporter John Stark) became ragtime's most popular number, selling
over 75,000 copies of sheet music during its first year. Joplin soon
had many other rags published that helped to make ragtime the pop music
of its day, but the tragedy of his life was that his goals were beyond
ragtime.
He staged a ballet (The Ragtime Dance) and two ragtime
operas (The Guest of Honor and Treemonisha) but none were successful, a
fact that continually frustrated him. By 1910 Joplin was becoming ill
with syphilis and at his death in 1917, ragtime was in the process of
being replaced by jazz. Ironically, 57 years after his death, Scott
Joplin finally became a household name because his music (most notably
"The Entertainer") was used by Marvin Hamlisch in his score for the
popular film The Sting. Although he only recorded cylinders and piano
rolls, Scott Joplin's music has been fully documented with "Maple Leaf
Rag" becoming a Dixieland jazz standard and pianist Richard Zimmerman
(on an excellent five-LP set for Murray Hill) recording everything that
Joplin ever wrote.

1912
Theodore "Teddy" Wilson
pianist/leader
b: Austin, TX, USA. d: July 31, 1986, New Brittain, CT, USA.
Four years of Piano and Violin study at Tuskegee Inst. Then Music
Theory at Talladega College. Best recalled as pianist with the Benny
Goodman small groups.
Biography
Teddy Wilson was the definitive swing pianist, a solid and impeccable
soloist whose smooth and steady style was more accessible to the
general public than Earl Hines or Art Tatum. He picked up early
experience playing with Speed Webb in 1929 and appearing on some
Louis Armstrong recordings in 1933. Discovered by John Hammond,
Willie joined Benny Carter's band and recorded with the Chocolate Dandies
later that year.

In 1935, he began leading a series of classic small-group recordings with
swing all-stars which on many occasions featured Billie Holiday. That
was also the year that an informal jam session with Benny Goodman and
Gene Krupa resulted in the formation of the Benny Goodman Trio (Lionel
Hampton made the group a quartet the following year). Although he was a
special added attraction rather than a regular member of the orchestra,
Wilson's public appearances with Goodman broke important ground in the
long struggle against segregation.

Between his own dates, many recordings with Benny Goodman's small groups and a
series of piano solos, Teddy Wilson recorded a large number of gems
during the second half of the 1930s. He left B.G. in 1939 to form his
own big band but, despite some fine records, it folded in 1940. Wilson
led a sextet at Cafe Society during 1940-1944, taught music at
Juilliard during the summers of 1945-1952, appeared on radio shows, and
recorded regularly with a trio, as a soloist and with pick-up groups in
addition to having occasional reunions with Goodman. Teddy Wilson's
style never changed, and he played very similar in 1985 to how he
sounded in 1935; no matter, the enthusiasm and solid sense of swing
were present up until the end.

And what they do is Ooh boppa dap

You can hear ole Hammer say
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me a gate I don't care

Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringing me down
He's got rhythm yeah, when he stomps his feet
He sends me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and all your guns
We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me cause I don't care

I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Send me daddy move right in
I feel just like I wanna shout
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's knocking me out
He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns

Do the hucklebuckle to the rising sun
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Move me, 'cause I'm in my sin
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer

1899 Hoagy Carmichael
composer/pianist/vocals/leader/attorney
b. Bloomington, Indiana, USA,
d. Dec. 27, 1981, Rancho Mirage, California, USA.
Biography
One
of the great composers of the American popular song, Hoagy Carmichael
differed from most of the others (with the obvious exception of Duke
Ellington) in that he was also a fine performer. Such Carmichael songs
as "Stardust," "Georgia on My Mind," "Up the Lazy River," "Rockin'
Chair," "The Nearness of You," "Heart and Soul," "In the Cool, Cool,
Cool of the Evening," "Skylark," and "New Orleans" have long been
standards, each flexible enough to receive definitive treatment
numerous times. Carmichael, who was briefly a lawyer, loved jazz almost
from the start, and particularly the cornet playing of Bix Beiderbecke.


His
first composition, "Riverboat Shuffle," was recorded by Bix and the
Wolverines in 1924, and became a Dixieland standard. Carmichael, as a
pianist, vocalist, and occasional trumpeter, eventually abandoned law
to concentrate on jazz, particularly after recording "Washboard Blues"
with Paul Whiteman in 1927. He led a few jazz sessions of his own in
the late '20s (including one that interpreted "Stardust" as an up-tempo
stomp), but became more popular as a skilled songwriter.

By
1935, he was working in Hollywood and became an occasional character
actor, appearing in 14 films including To Have and Have Not and The
Best Years of Our Lives, generally playing a philosophical and world
weary pianist/vocalist. In the 1940s, Carmichael recorded some trio
versions of his hits, and in 1956, he cut a full set of vocals while
backed by a modern jazz group that included Art Pepper. After that, he
drifted into semi-retirement, dissatisfied with how the music business
had changed. His two autobiographies (1946's The Stardust Road and
1965's Sometimes I Wonder) are worth picking up.

1904 Horace Henderson, Piano/Leader
b. Cuthbert, GA, USA, d. August 29, 1988.
Fletcher's Brother. Studied at Atlanta Univ, and then at Wilberforce Univ.
Biography
In some ways, it is ironic that Horace Henderson spent his life in his
older brother Fletcher's shadow. Horace was a much better pianist and
became a skillful arranger early on, but he actually accomplished a lot
less during his life than Fletcher and was largely forgotten after the
swing era ended.

He began studying piano when he was 14 and attended Atlanta University and Wilberforce College, leading his own student band at the latter (the Collegians), which in time became the Horace Henderson Orchestra and, in 1928, the Dixie Stompers. After a period working with Sammy Stewart, Henderson put together a new big band that played regularly in New York in 1929-1931 before it was taken over by Don Redman. Henderson worked with Redman until joining his
brother's orchestra as a pianist and arranger (1933-1934). He briefly led another band, worked with Vernon Andrade, was back with Henderson
in 1936, and then had yet another orchestra in 1937-1940 that was based
in Chicago.

Horace Henderson was in the Army for parts of
1942-1943, rejoined Fletcher for a period, and then worked as an
accompanist for Lena Horne. He led groups in Los Angeles from 1945-1950
and spent later periods playing in Minneapolis, Las Vegas, and (from
the late '60s on) Denver. However, Horace Henderson, who led recording
sessions with his brother's sidemen in 1933 and his own big band in
1940 (plus obscure small-group dates in 1945 and 1951, and a 1954
broadcast with his orchestra released by IAJRC decades later), was more
valuable as a contributor of arrangements to other bands. Among those
orchestras that benefited from his charts were Benny Goodman, the Casa
Loma Orchestra, Charlie Barnet, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmie Lunceford, Earl
Hines and, most notably, Fletcher Henderson, who had 30 of his
arrangements in the book, including "Hot and Anxious" (which used a
riff that later became "In the Mood") and Fletcher's 1936 hit
"Christopher Columbus."

1906 Guy Kelly, Trumpet/Vocal
b. Scotlandville, LA, USA. d. 1940

1899 "Whistlin" Alex Moore, piano
b. Dallas, TX, USA. d. 1989.
Biography
One of the last of the old-time Texas barrelhouse pianists, Alex Moore was
an institution in Dallas, his lifelong home. A colorful entertainer
with a poetic gift for rambling improvisations, Moore had one of the
longest recording careers in blues history (his first sides for
Columbia were made in 1929; his final session was in 1988). Yet it was
hardly one of the most prolific, as there were usually lengthy gaps
between sessions. The spontaneous, autobiographical nature of his
latter-day recordings imbue his albums with a special charm.

Moore began performing in the early '20s, playing clubs and parties around
his hometown of Dallas; he usually performed under the name Whistlin'
Alex. In 1929, he recorded his first sessions, which were for Columbia
Records. The sides didn't gain much attention and Moore didn't record
again until 1937, when he made a few records for Decca. Between his
first and second sessions, he continued to play clubs in Dallas. The
time span between his second session in 1937 and his third was even
longer than the time between his first and second -- Moore didn't
record again until 1951, when RPM/Kent had him cut several songs.
Throughout the '40s and '50s, Moore performed in clubs throughout
Dallas, occasionally venturing to other parts of Texas.

Alex Moore's national break coincided with the blues revival of the early
'60s. Arhoolie Records signed the pianist in 1960, and those records
helped make him a national name. For the rest of the '60s, he played
clubs and festivals in America, as well as a handful of festival dates
in Europe. Although he didn't make many records in the '70s and '80s,
Moore continued to perform until his death in 1989. The year before his
death, he recorded a final session for Rounder Records, which was
released as the Wiggle Tail album.

LYRICS:

Linger Awhile
~(Vincent Rose/Harry Owens)

The time is coming soon to say goodbye
A time of sadness it will be
But honey listen to my parting sigh
And linger on awhile with me

The stars above you,yet linger awhile
They whisper I love you,oh linger awhile
And when you have gone away
Every hour seems like a day
I've something to tell you
Oh linger awhile

The stars above you,yet linger awhile
They whisper I love you,oh linger awhile
And when you have gone away
Every hour seems


Ole Buttermilk Sky
Written by: Jack Brooks
Written by: Hoagy Carmichael
Originally made famous by: Hoagy Carmichael
From the Album: 1946: Old Gold Shows (1994)
From the Film: Canyon Passage (1946)

Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)
I'm keepin' my eye peeled on you

What's the good word tonight?
Are you gonna be mellow tonight?

Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)
Can't you see my little doggie and me

We're as happy as a christmas tree
Headin' for the one I love (the one I love)

I'm gonna pop her the question, that question
Do you Darlin', do ya do?

It'll be easy, so easy
If I can only bank on you

Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)
I'm tellin' you why, now you know
Keep it in mind tonight
Keep brushin' those clouds from sight

Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)
Don't fail me when I'm needin' you most

Hang a moon above her hitching post
Hitch me to the one I love

gonna pop her the question, the question
Darlin', do you do?
It'll be easy, so easy
If I can only bank on you

Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky
I'm tellin' you why, now you know
Keep it in mind tonight
Keep brushin' those clouds from sight

Ole buttermilk sky (ole buttermilk sky)
Don't fail me when I'm needin' you most
Hang a moon above her hitching post
Hitch me to the one I love

You can if you try
Don't tell me no lie
will you be mellow and bright tonight?
Oh, butermilk sky"

BIRTHDAYS

b. Cleveland, OH, USA.
née: Catherine Gloria Balotta.
She has a distinguished career in the theatre; television and film.

1914 Clifton "Skeeter" Best, Guitar
b. Kinston, NC, USA.
d. May 27, 1985, New York, NY, USA.
Biography
A masterful rhythm guitarist, Skeeter Best was also an above average
lead player, though he didn't display it often. He'd been influenced by
the duo of Charlie Christian and Freddie Greene, and laid down slick,
polished and enticing riffs and supporting licks. His solo approach was
a classic single-string style, with cleanly articulated, bluesy
patterns and phrases. Best played in Philadelphia during the late '30s,
then worked with Earl Hines in 1941 and 1942 until he joined the navy.
Best spent his time following his discharge playing with small combos,
and participated in the landmark Soul Brothers session featuring Ray
Charles and Milt Jackson. He recorded with Mercer Ellington in 1958,
and later taught in New York City. Best made no sessions as a leader,
but can be heard to good advantage on the Soul Brothers CD reissue.

1916
Judy Canova
C&W vocals/comedienne
b. Jacksonville, FL, USA.
d. August 5, 1983
Judy Canova was an American comedienne, actress, singer and radio personality.

Born
Juliette Canova in Waldo, Florida, her show business career began with
a family vaudeville routine. She joined her sister Annie and brother
Zeke, and their performances as the Three Georgia Crackers took them
from theaters in Florida to a club in a New York City. Judy Canova
sang, yodeled and played guitar. The standout in the family, she
developed her persona as a wide-eyed likeable country bumpkin, often
wearing her hair in braids and sometimes topped with a straw hat. When
bandleader Rudy Vallee offered her a guest spot on his radio show, it
opened the door to a career that spanned more than five decades.

The popularity of the Canova family led to numerous performances on
radio in the 1930s, and they made their Broadway debut in the revue,
Calling All Stars. An offer from Warner Bros. led to several bit parts
before she signed with Republic Pictures. During her career she
appeared in more than two dozen Hollywood films and made numerous
records on the RCA Victor label.

In 1943, she began her own radio program,
The Judy Canova Show, that ran for a dozen years, first on CBS
and then on NBC. During World War II, she closed her show with
the song "Goodnight, Soldier" ("wherever you may be... my heart's
lonely... without you") and used her free time to sell U.S. War Bonds.

In the post-War years, she ended each show by singing a nursery song:

Go to sleep-y, little baby,
Go to sleep-y, little baby,
When you wake
You'll patty-patty cake,
And ride a shiny little pony.


When her radio program ended in 1955, Canova gave comedy performances on
Broadway, television and in Las Vegas nightclubs through the early 1970s. In 1971, she toured with No, No Nanette.

Her daughter, Diana Canova, is an actress best known for her role on the ABC television sitcom, Soap.

In 1983, Judy Canova died from cancer at age 69 and was buried in
Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California. She has a
star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contribution to the film
industry (6821 Hollywood Boulevard) and a second star for her radio
career (6777 Hollywood Boulevard).
