EKE BBB

I´ve always been fascinated by the lyrics of the blues songs. I thought it´d be a good idea to start a topic where we can bring our favorites. PS: if anybody thinks this thread would come into conflict with any copyright issues, just tell me, and I will delete it. Just to start: Trixie Blues (Trixie Smith) (transcribed from vocals by Anna Jones accompanied by Fats Waller, recorded 7/1923) Woke up this morning, Blues all around my bed; Woke up this morning, Blues all around my bed; I didn't have my daddy to hold my achin' head. Now, the blues ain't nothin; But a woman wants to see her man. I know the blues ain't nothin', But a woman wants to see her man. 'Cause everytime my man leaves me, Lord knows I feel so bad. You can never tell What's on a brown-skinned man's mind; You can never tell What's a brown-skinned man's mind; He'll be hugging and kissing you, and quitting you all the time.

Has anybody already got the recently published biography written by Jeffrey Magee "The Uncrowned King of Swing: Fletcher Henderson and Big Band Jazz" on Oxford University Press? GoM? Any impressions?

From 1936...

And in my books want-list, this one´s been for so long (too long). One of these days... Hendersonia, The Music of Fletcher Henderson and his Musicians; a Bio-Discography by Walter C. Allen., Highland Park , 1973

All my Fletcher is on Classics. I have quite a few of them and I have no complaints on the sound quality (but I´m not and audiophile at all, so don´t you ever trust in me ). Fletcher Henderson doesn´t attract many attention nowadays, I´m afraid. I started a thread on AAJ last year and only got a few replies (very few, actually). He led which was the most important African-American band of the mid-20´s (Duke took his place a bit later). IMHO he was a capable but not outstanding pianist, but he would deserve a pedestal if only for: -establishing the standard for big band arrangement, with his own writing (that later would make Benny Goodman´s one of the most successful big bands in the late 30´s) and with the work of two incredible arrangers: Don Redman and Benny Carter. -establishing as well the standard use of reed and brass sections. He wasn´t a business man, but his big band gathered, in its more than twenty years of living, some of the greatest musicians of that era..... I mean of all times jazz!!! Just a few of them, as they come to my mind: Trumpet/cornet: Louis Armstrong, Rex Stewart, Cootie Williams, Tommy Ladnier, Henry Red Allen, Roy Eldridge, Joe Smith, Sidney De Paris, Wilbur De Paris, Bobby Stark... Saxophones: Don Redman, Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter, Ben Webster, Chu Berry, Russell Procope, Lester Young... Clarinet: Buster Bailey... Trombone: JC Higginbotham, Dan Minor, Dicky Wells, Benny Morton, Charlie Green... Drums: Sid Catlett... Bass: John Kirby...

You can find a lot of information about circular breathing on this thread: Circular breathing

According to Duke Ellington Panorama discography, there are only two recordings of that song: -the one for the Live at the Blue Note (which was recorded on August 9, 1959 and not on 1952): Roulette CDP 7243 8 28637 2 4 -and a previous one, Live at Newport 58, recorded on July 3: Columbia C2K 53584 And it´s credited to Ellington/Rembert.

Up again! The on-line discography will be soon available in Michael Fitzgerald´s jazzdiscography website.

Gotcha! HENRY "RED" ALLEN Neatwork 2031 The Alternative Takes, Vol. 1 : 1929-1941 24 tracks , 75 min, highly recommended. Though it says "29-41" only a rejected OKeh take of KK Boogie from '41 is later than '35, with 22 tracks from '29-33. The first 11 tracks are Red with His New York Orch (actually Luis Russel's mostly New Orleans orch. with such greats as Albert Nicholas, JC Higginbotham & Pops Foster, on a series of initially unissued Victor sides from '29-30. The next sessions find Red as a sideman with various bands with vocalist Billy Banks, with such greats as Gene Krupa, PeeWee Russel, Eddie Condon & Joe Sullivan, along with a ARC session as The Rhythmakers from 7/26/32 with Banks, Peewee, Condon, Fats Waller et al, & a 10/8/32 sessions as by Jack Bland & his Rhythmakers with Peewee, Condon, Tommy Dorsey. A rejected Call Of The Delta by Buster Bailey & His Seven Chocolate Dandies was done for Vocalion & includes Higginbotham, Bennie Carter & arranged by Fletcher Henderson. (GM) Tracks: 1. It should be you / 2. It should be you / 3. Feelin' drowsy / 4. Feelin' drowsy / 5. Swing out / 6. Make a country bird fly wild / 7. Singing pretty songs / 8. I fell in love with you / 9. Oh!

A shine on your shoes / 16. Believe it, beloved I´m afraid this will be my first Neatwork! -_-

Are there any volume for Red Allen on Neatwork label? That would complement my Classics (though not with JRT Davies remasters).

EKE.. you should visit the other joint a bit more often The greatest recording debut. BTW: I´ve been listening to that session this morning. I have it on Classics label. So, no alternate takes. I don´t know if that is the greatest recording debut, but it´s rough enough for me!

EKE.. you should visit the other joint a bit more often The greatest recording debut. I was meaning on this board but.... .... yes, I should!

That´s a very precise figure, Lon!

Have read through the various replies now and Agustin pinned this one way before I did. But just because I was invading Spain at the time the BFT 17 reached me No need to invade us, now that our French-Spanish relations have been improved by our new Government! Sorry, no politics here!

From jazzmatazz: Norman Granz - The Complete Norman Granz Jam Sessions - box set (Verve) Nov 9

Mike: Count me in for compiling another BFT... in a decade or so!
