Dead on time it's been very cold. Good evening and welcome to 2 hours of Supremes musicals to free to take it slow until 1 o'clock tomorrow morning on various b.b.c. Local radio stations across East Anglia and of course much farther afield worldwide indeed the web and of a superior sought for superior song such as you know or program of gram from records especially selected for persons of taste maturity discrimination and haters of drivel which is what you are of course otherwise you wouldn't be tuned to the see a program start with Donna. That was pretty convincing. That it was Benny Goodman in 1958 to the title of the piece the king and Mae and it was especially commissioned for the launch of what was then a brand new Benny Goodman orchestra and the composer and arranger was no less than own drapes Previn we celebrate Benny Goodman and this particular weekend he was born May the thirty's in the end 1909 and he left us plenty of stuff with which to celebrate born in Chicago professional the age of 12 and he just went all and and. Making great music with some great people and the old problem with somebody so prolific is what you put in but what you leave out I am going to try and go for things that are a little different like that particular number. So his Benny heard this one on the program previously Benny Not only has clarinetist and leader of I think initially a sextet but then it grows into a big band and he also sings. Blue . Blue blue blue. Blue blue blue blue. Blue. Blue blue blue. Blue. Blue. Blue Blue Devils are funded the day but I never knew I could never feel the way that I feel I'm a very serious we're going to lose a little bit but. I never have a bridge to lie or don't know what it is but I. Added some good news great job a good. Bye do Pierston I know I move to a big. I don't. Know the whole goal but if I was done to fail I would have a low they have always been and would it be Joe if you were there. Look look look. Look. Look. Look look. Look look look look look look. Look look. Look. Look. Look look look look. Look look. Look look look look. Look. Look. Look look. Look look look. Look. Look. Look look look at it look. Look at it look at it. Look. Then. And then they'll. They'll. They'll. Then. And there. Are. Oh Barry be. Barely clarinet of course the trumpet playing was in the hands of Mr Johnny best and splendid duet of trombones there cut it cut short and Lew McGarrity and the great Mel Powell was on piano he also contributed to the arrangement for the band I think is a wonderful blend of the sextet and then he grows up into the big band perfectly naturally organic should we say Wonderful Baby Benny Goodman vocal about that limo the drum of their sensational drama one of the best Louie Bellson and it's a pity that it was he and not Buddy Rich because I just want to mention. A gig coming off next Sunday the 4th of June at the Roland Dunn gate when Parma and Pete cater along with Benny grandmother who Benny the drummer. Marc Mondesir also drum anyway they're paying tribute to Buddy Rich in quote the world's greatest drummer. Away from that word greatest because there were big band drummers and indeed small band drummers for that matter who the equal of Buddy Rich which is not to say that he wasn't one of the greatest Anyway it's is a unique event bringing together some of the U.K.'s finest session musicians alongside some of the finest drumming talent that's the 4th of June at the Royal and done gate one night only 7 30 pm and the box office number by which you may secure tickets is no 164-6248 double. 101-604-6248 double one and I'll file that just in case there's an opportunity next Saturday to remind you that the 4th of 2 royal and Dern gate to the vocal talents Goodman I didn't think he was much of a threat to the likes of Sinatra old Dick baying but he was certainly a vocal match for another great big band leader namely stand Canton and side by side they tested their vocal talents to the utmost when they made a recording in 1907 with a small group we joisting in the name of the Hollywood. Every so good I want to say saying it's a. Very good. Version of swing swing. Say you know some steak. And other guy named. After every day is really great. But not a. Great. Year might be the king of the clarinet that is the singer you don't rate. Goes down the. C C C C C C i hear you got a band 19 bring. Me here to clicker you call it progressive it's a good thing you said says I watch it Mr Goodman. Be careful what you say. You know I know exactly what you're doing you're giving me that. Listen oh man can't leave us no hear more from. You. And I come on just a good. I could ask the same thing to you know that's true too. You are so right Mr Garratt we can't seem to lose when we're not moving Who. We've got those have been a blue rule. How much of what made him do that or whatever it was and he did $947.00 that was Benny Goodman who. Took one of the vocal parts Mr Stan Kenton who took the other and of course you heard Benny's clarinet but also. The highly identifiable trumpets how Charlie Shavers Benny Carter on alto Dave cavalier on Tanna red Norberto and xylophone and vibes Jimmy Rowles the piano player Irving Ashby the guitarist and Lester Young's drummer lady Leslie whose brother rather he was was on drums and well in spite of all that ribbing bad between Kenton and Goodman Benny Goodman was not averse to the occasional progressive move indeed you heard it in the opening number from 1958 the King and me that in 1949 bop was the. Sort of current. Not had but there was certainly people making lots of interesting and colorful moves into that the music that was influenced by the boppers and Benny Goodman thought well worth giving it a try so he did act very good it. Were. Pure and. It was. C live. Lives. If it was shit. Or to. Me. It was. A hit with her dad. Oh a wonderful piece of work that was written by Chico O'Farrill called Under current Blues and the piano player on that particular session was no less a person than Buddy Greco. Who was one of those people rather like necking Cole he was a better piano player than he actually was as a singer which is not to say that he wasn't a good singer and the current blue from 1949 and since we're on to big bands Let's give a mention to Hornchurch jazz club which Next Sunday the 4th of June has the 10 Turner big band horn churches very own 17 priest big band. Playing the fabulous musical Woody Herman Stan Kenton Glen Miller Duke Ellington Count base no mention a last of Benny Goodman but never mind arrive early for a good seat packed club guaranteed it says here and the usual venue Hornchurch Conservative Club in North St. And if you want to know more call 791355861607913558616 and as usual with the public city material for Hornchurch jazz club Douglas Mitchell. Who's actually working in China and living there has been in touch. He says last week program thanks for another cracking program of course kicking off with Humph gets my full approval especially with the forks and Christie which indeed we did last week he says far too hot here are rather like here then to where my code your trousers no turnips he says I'm not well fashion I'll have to wait until I'm in Blighty before displaying myself as a sartorial combustion. Well I keep cool is all I can say because my word it's been a warm one today 2526 degrees it was certainly according to the thermometer side our back door during the course of the afternoon the sun was blazing down and it was one of those occasions when one needed to retreat from it rare the way just a row and then. Hornchurch Conservative Club the can turn a big hand on the 4th of June and if there's a chance next Saturday to remind you that. Shall do so now always Benny Goodman stuff and would be going down rather well I suspect with people who are attending the Louis Armstrong jazz and swing Festival which is taking place this very weekend at the Holiday Inn Hotel which is near the airport the whole thing is under the wing of our old friend John Petty and The reason I say it's likely to be going down well with people who are at that particular gigs it's a 2 day event and therefore a lot of the people who'd been attending today would be staying overnight and presumably to. Up and listening to this program but tomorrow off to New down $1530.00 they've got a part of the program the special magic of Benny Goodman with Tim Hoskins than. Colin Bray j.j. Vinton and John Pettit to the spirit of Benny Goodman will be stalking a broad at help us 3 tomorrow off the new nap and I guess if that's your bag I mean the whole program of other things starting at 10 30 in the morning best thing to do is simply turn up the pay at the door and he says bit late now to give you a telephone number. Yes I mean you could refer in the Holiday Inn hotel telephone number for which I don't have a divide. And I hope it's all been going well. Write letters have moved from Benny and that last item indicates his having undertaken quite a long journey from this particular item which is a gorgeous version of Jerome Kern in recorded 935 the Benny Goodman trio. I think the word perfection is Limoges used in this instance who are written by Jerome Kern and the Benny Goodman trio Benny of course on clarinet Teddy Wilson on piano Gene Krupa on drums recorded in 1935. An absolute gem but then he was responsible for so many gens over the years was Mr Goodman as I said earlier it's not a question of it being difficult to find things to put it is the difficult. Leaving things out. Well I'm going to go to another Goodman group but we double up this time because this is the Benny Goodman sextet. 19 for t. . Which at that particular time consisted of June zone drums Kuti Williams on trumpet Georgie old who was featured on the program recently on Tanna. And Can't Count Bass see guesting on piano and Charlie Christian is here on guitar this is a splendid piece is a good man a regional cold breakfast feel. In the middle. Of. The big. Breakfast Phew get it written by Benny Goodman for the sextette in 1941 and did I mention Kuti Williams trumpet maybe I did maybe I didn't but now I have anyway. And there was Charlie Christian of course on guitar and doubtless he was one of the influences on Philbrook a very good East Anglian based guitarist in the Charlie Christian must of influence pretty well any guitarist who is worthy of consideration these days anyway Phil Brook note singular there's no s. Of the name there. Like as it appears on Upwell jazz clubs flyer. He is there tomorrow the 28th of May from 1230 is the time the gig starts at Christ Church Community Center. Jazz Club Christ Church Community Center is that well itself Anyway it says here the u.k. Is 1st guaranteed banjo free jazz club and it's a fairly brave guarantee to offer a never know. Anyway Philbrook will be it up well jazz club tomorrow together with Nigel Porter's keyboard Mike on entertaining you with their unique interpretations of jazz classics and more and if you want further information we'll wait for sensible time tomorrow morning and call 0194577312101945773121 otherwise just take a chance turn up at Christ Church community. Enter. $1230.00 or in time for $1230.00 but it says fresh rolls and Savory's are available plus music to Benny but this time the featured element of the performance is somebody else whose birthday we celebrate this weekend born May the 26 the new year 1920 Peggy Lee and this is among the 1st recordings she made with the Benny Goodman orchestra when she came in to replace Helen Forrest Peggy Lee Young Peggy Lee. a. Me I am. Live. How long has this been going on Peggy Lee with Benny Goodman as orchestra in the arrangement of that Gershwin number was by Mel Powell whom you have a piano there 1941. Well somebody that Peggy Lee met while she was. Under contract to the Benny Goodman organization was the guitarist in the band Dave by and they ultimately married a $947.00 Peggy Lee had moved on and become so low perform a Dave Barber had moved on and become a session musician who was also entitled to record things under his own name this though recorded on the Peggy Lee's name. Splendid Bucky arrangement with some very good Dave Barber guitar on it did I do played this a few times on the program you will recognize it either love it. How long. Do. You. Dave Barber and his orchestra. Is a session band consisting of such people as Ray z. Trumpet Benny Carter on alto saxophone and also on trumpet Buddy Cole. Piano recorded a great deal of being read nor vibes Nick for 2 on drums and the whole thing recorded in 1947. And since we've got a guitarist prominent in these recordings it's a good time to mention Esmond Selwyn who is G.C.'s jazz club the 4th of June that the Woolpack in Mildmay road Chelmsford. Sell when I'm quoting them has long been recognized as one of the U.K.'s greatest performing jazz guitarists and jazz educator. Pompom Bumble where style forms a direct link with great jazz guitarists of the past many of whom befriended him and instructed him Chuck Wayne Tower follow George Van It says Barry Galbraith and Sal Salvador Chicago far on with them can you anyway you can hear the proof of that particular guitar putting on the 4th of June at g.c.s. Jazz club where Esmond Selwyn will play his guitar alongside host c. . On string bass and Graham Cullum the g. C. Of G.'s just rub the drums and if there's time to remind you that next Saturday I'll do so so that can go back in the file. Peggy Lee and Dave Barber not only recorded together Bill. Also composed various songs together possibly the best of them and I've played this a few times on the program is this one which they recorded jointly in 1945. A little bit. A lot of things. But I know it. When I think you. Tried different. And. I read the latest news. No but my. But. Can you you. Get innocent. To me. Because I don't know when. You. Jack of all trades. Master. You be good me. You know me. You know I went to school. And I'm nobody's. Met is to say I am to. You. But I don't know. You. Wouldn't. Mom C. You know I went to school. And nobody's. Met is to say and. You. Know little thing. Lot of things. But I don't know. An hour. And a little a moment. A little gin. But I don't know. I guess I'm going to get out the encyclopedia and bash up on from her to move. Because I don't know. Dave Barber and his orchestra and I just counted them up were 8. Suppose you could call it a chamber orchestra trumpet player there by the way was no less a person than Billy May I didn't know enough about you 1945 Peggy Lee They've Barba and once again since we have a guitar prominent We can mention another gig where a guitarist is prominent nets milestones jazz club on the 4th of June next Sunday the button band. Which takes its name from the guitarist who leads it Andrew button with and he will phone tenor Dave Mannington and double bass and Matic chick. Drum. Stones jazz club the Hatfield Hotel in Los stuff doors open at 8 music starts at 830 further details can be secured by calling 150256868401502568684 . And can just tell you a bit about Mr Button guitarist and composer leading his London band on its 1st u.k. Tour through or through originals that reflect the influence of Bill Frisell John Scofield and loose. Sometimes playful sometimes melancholy always quietly grooving that's the button band milestones Sunday next 4th of June once again of the charts on Saturday evening next week to give you a reminder that I a shall. We got to with Peggy Lee Oh not. That. Frequently set aside to play on the program whenever we get near to Peggy or anything to the Piggly and something slips away. It is a curious kind of. Curious force which seems to govern the selection in temporary rejection of items from. This one keeps dropping off the twig as it were. Going to play Come what may indeed. This is from a broadcast 1953 when Peggy Lee was a guest being Crosby's radio program. if 'd. It. Could. They. Sort of on the steep fader on the applause as it is that particular cd because I think the it merited a good deal more applause than that. But alas those clapping hands have gone into history Peggy Lee with the John Scott Trotter orchestra and a wonderful arrangement and the wonderful performance of a really great song by George and I heard when I got a crush on you broadcast 1953 and tantalizingly was from across be radio program and so let's have a bit of Crosby with Peggy Lee this Jerome Kern song joining from Jerome Kern and. Hammerstein song. And this is one that being actually recorded commercially with Lee Wiley but somehow the chemistry didn't work with the 2 them in this the recording studios of the commercial recording of this particular song made by those 2 isn't so successful as this broadcast version where Peggy Lee and being Crosby are clearly one with each other it's a lovely performance. A long. Credit. Quality job. No matter what you. Are. Have washed. Things that way you said. And now know you. Live as anyone it's how. To do it when it's raining who. Uses up the oh. Says. No matter what you. See me. You don't make money. I'm no that honey. And never. Have a new Are you going to be no. But that don't. Know . No good no matter what you say. Still. I may be no. No good for you. I may be that. Bad grade one live. My life where they must drive. Yet. Further. No matter what you say. It's me. You know. That they. Wish is that you do them now who you down. Where. Damn now. Was. Watching you so. Think you do. Know that I look out. For him. How I was going were right there in and the hellos and didn't for t 7 I still me being and Peggy Lee Now we have to. The departure of somebody who's featured quite frequently on the program lately Dave l. 10 a sex oftenest band leader and he died on May the 8th Bowl on February 26th in the a 1920 five's workout with my. Clumsy math he was about 93 then when he died I guess his golden age was the fifty's when he was not only playing tennis next phone in the Les Brown Band but he'd formed a band of his own in order to undertake the playing of some splendid to tight arrangements from the likes of multi-page and Shorty Rogers now got some notes here that I pinched off the Internet. Tight arrangements is how they were described and Dave Pelz said she was sure the Rogers idea to borrow ideas from lessons big band the range of. It's written by Frank Comstock and Skippy Martin actually we didn't steal anything or anyone this is why Les was so beloved by so many musicians all adolescent told him what I wanted to do he was all for it. And. It would be chilled he do and when we were just getting together Shorty was very excited he said he'd write charts with a guitar on the bottom and dawned fagot Quist the trumpet player on top with the rest of his voice in between he said we'll do hipper stuff than the big bads and within 2 weeks he'd finished the 1st bundle of chance and the idea being to take the West Coast linear sound and apply it in a more commercial format well enough of. The proof of the putting is always in the play here is the Dave Chappelle octet a $953.00 with a Rodgers and. Her Her. Shame about the fade out ending but they were wise lovely neat tight little version of a ship without a sail the Dave Chappelle. In the guitarist referred to Tony c. Fulfilling an orchestral role as well as a solo role such a pretty sound let's have some more of it this late of the recording from 19 and 56 and you want a little number when I take my show got to take me. But . The letter. Well I take my sugared to t.v. Day tell Tech tonight actually comes from an album called Jazz goes dancing. They've pal Featherlight tenor saxophone Don faded Crystal trumpet Ray Simms at Zoot brother on trombone Marty Burman the baritone sax often is that man Tony Reed see guitar once again the great dross no less was own piano bass the bass player Irving. The drama Well Dave Pelz big band pedigree goes back quite a long way and I'm going to go back with it to the in 1945 when he was a member of a band led by another tennis acts often as Tony passed and in 1945 they recorded a thing called Just for kicks which was a kind of a romp for the trumpets and the tennis saxophones in the band so one of his tennis acts of sex. Because the riff 3 of them listed besides Tony pastor is Dave pal don't ask me which is which but let us just love you back and enjoy it just for kicks. This. Oh. A shameless flag waver from. Tony past orchestra in 1004 t.v. 5 and you could just visualize the band thankfully performing that on the stand and leaping to their feet to play their full sitting down again in trumpets waving this way and that trombones waving this way and that good stuff good fun just for kicks Well Mrs Pell moved on to the Les Brown Band and he joined the Les Brown Band in 1948 and stayed with it for quite a long time he is an example of a less Browns band in 1953 law of the Hollywood Palladium and this is a rather figure Us version of Speak low. Was . At the. Age that. Who. Cry. thank you. And Speak low who are less than $153.00 from The Great to the Smol and this is Alan balms. With the Dave Newton trio and they will be at family the Alexander center in family. On Friday the 2nd of June Keisel June already at 8 p. M. . It says here from Bram Setterfield you're kind enough to offer to promote our new venture The event was a complete sell out in February. Better than we could ever have imagined so hits hope it can be matched by this particular gate jazz at the Alex on the 2nd of June 8 pm album bonds with the Dave Newton trio or further information and tickets may be secured from the Alexander center in 5017955944600179559446 . While hunting for. Terms which featured Dave pal you heard him briefly on turn as X.-Men and then I came across a cd which I'd forgotten I opened and it's one that's been copied our county remember who furnished the the disc but anyway I asked going through the thing and here from 1949 the Les Brown band with a very jolly little piece should be with a title like lollipop. The. The. Fish she. Thought the end of the Les Brown and his value. In 99 t. 9 new I like the referred earlier to the pretty sound of the Dave pal Ted going to go back to it now. For their version of I had the craziest dream written by Ari Warren and we had one arrangement in the program with an arrangement and composition by a president well somehow Andre Previn was pretty prevailed upon persuaded indeed to write the arrangement of I had the craziest dream. The Dave pal octet Dave Pell recently deceased made the 8th and I think he was 93 years old but I love that feather light 10 a saxophone sound of his and the arrangements for the band speak for themselves. Writes we look ahead now to the 9th a view. Where there's a program called Salute to Sinatra and the swing legend. Which will be presented at the Mater Market Theater in Nori award winning singer Matthew 4 and widely regarded as the finest big band singer in the u k and indeed all had a name from Terry dash he says the years of trying to bring Matt forward to knowledge I have in capital letters finally cracked it he's appearing at the Met the Market Theatre on the night of Jews. And so the box office numbers 016362917. It's on the 9th of June at 7 30 pm there's no indication the of the swing legends actually sees me actually. Will I live to announce this again. Let me remind you that 400 sounds do nothing to you hear from me. They know it sounds sure to. Y.b. Pull to see anyone. Do . You hear from me. Zim I ask all. 3 How I feel Oh Bob you some kids make. A memory. And other wrong. Hold us through. But these do nothing. Where is someone. Says that me. That. True when with mom told the. Sun my mom. Our. Some kids make. Memories. There are a whole. Load. Do not. Owe. S. . I. Well Nora just had to wait a long time for Matt Ford to turn up but he's well worth the wait I think you will agree. There he was and here he will be. In nor age on the 9th of June at 7 30 pm at the Mater Market Theater. And the box office number once again 016-036-2091 extension 7 I'll give you a reminder of that in next week's program because it's worth hearing more from. Matthew for all Matt Ford and the swing legends on that occasion is as I say no indication as to whom they will be on the knowledge gig but trumpet player there was Mike Leavitt who is a familiar figure. Playing lead trumpet in the John Wilson orchestra you'll have seen it the problem blowing away like a good Jim Molan was the guitarist there doing good stuff James Pearson the piano Bell could go on a Skelton on drums anyway. Would welcome some information if anybody's listening and cares to get in touch and tell me who the swing legends will be on that particular gig. And emails popped up from Peter in Dunstable pleased to see you in good form Thank you very much for the Peggy Lee contribution keep going till he's. Well I'll do do my home verse if the pills continue to work as Peter in Dunstable No no the gate forthcoming gig 3rd of June that's next set of they had Lee town hole in the marketplace in Hadley the jazz club their presents the jazz is Dudley Moore That's the christening I'm quartet.

Dudley who in the loop you can is most dazzling swinging jazz pianists and the composer of which. And if who they. Turn up and enjoy the jazz of deadly mall we have another birthday to celebrate last Lee Ruben who are the result of rhythm to try again as it usually does. And so a man of immense stature is diminished in the context of this program too I think I've got room for 3 items from him this for 914 and it's Miles Davis with his mole orchestra he was born made the 25th in the in 1926. The man. And the title of the piece. Was these sort of familiar diminutive Gerry Mulligan who was on baritone saxophone and then actually composed and arranged that peaceful Miles Davis very quick mention of jazz no cult the Steve Waterman quartet is at the 3 hole shoes not cult near Sevenoaks on the 30th of May That's Tuesday 8 o'clock free admission Steve Waterman quartet 3 whole shoes not call it. Come play a bit of Miles Davis without him in company with Charlie Parker this from 1945 the piano player somebody called in gates which happened to be unarmed a keyboard full no less a person than Dizzy Gillespie.
