There's a picture of him on the front of the album with his arms outstretched and so got on the truck coming from that in about 50 minutes time and I'm going to be speaking to Julian marks Tringle he's one of the best clarinetist in the country if not probably one of the best in the world and we're going to speak to him about his new album called it's classical taking is a bit closer to that high to Alan who says David trust your journey to the studio was without incident in this whether it be miserable has it pulled down but it wasn't too bad driving in perhaps Barry Manilow I made it through the rain would be quite appropriate I think you could be right. Candid. Interview Show. Barry Manilow made it through the right. Played out one for Alan who's in we're just going to Barry Manilow on the program and height of a cue says Dear David 2 remarkable records by female artists that I have not heard on your show although you may have played them when I was away the extraordinary South American epic by you must sumac version of the song God which had many plays on the old B.B.C. Light Programme and more recently about Nies vocal version of a piece of music called Malaguena by catch we never learn today that was released in the U.K. On the Polydore record label under the title the breeze and I hear you have either or both of these it be great to hear one of them again you Mrs might find the you Masooma vocal gymnastics a bit I wore trick but the since late in track by Katrina Valenti can certainly be safely accommodated within your program here's hoping Well Vic I actually did play . The track you're talking about by Yuma sumac we did play that one a few years ago very crackly It's not that good a conditions who are going for this one by catch Reedville on tight. Was. Come see their mother. Was. Was. Cut. Must love. Love the Yolo lol. you get out of all of. Us not all. Was. Malaguena catch we never learn today play that one for Vic in Waterloo Ville hi to that Jesse said he'd have a lovely card says the hired Davis Mia get her thought it was you hoping that you and Hazel a fit and well as I am we are thank you for asking please play Joey Val from ah good hope she's OK I'm sure she is and myself as well as the Collins ole sends my wrappings all done 2 weeks before Christmas 1st time ever as if she's really a last minute panic with me thank you so much in the DO Take care love Jessie as well in the last minute panic for me but I got my head down this week I did quite a bit still a few things to do you know what. I think of. Famous last words this one Jerry Bell's version of White Christmas. was. Smooth. As the. Joey Veil White Christmas for Jesse and mug rebels who likes to Jerry Vale on the program high to Marion who's in less and she should try to get ahead with a christmas I know it's tough as day think about what to get people Oh thank you Congress she says Well a couple people wanting Elvis and I think Mary Mary will enjoy this one she likes the song hi to Keith. And I think it probably evolved as well wanted Elvis in the Jordan is. But what we're going to go for is this one because I'm going to say hi to my clean Ashford who says Please can you play Elvis Presley and blue Christmas from naughty and seems. a role for the monocle Blue Christmas played that one from Michael in Ashford who wanted it thought Lottie and Susie also for Marion in lists and also for Kate and I think it's evolving draft from but Toffy text was missing for some reason don't know why that is but anyway I think it's an evil because he says that normally a western thing but this week a bit of Elvis I know we can play don't but I hope you enjoyed Blue Christmas by at the King and the wolf in the monocoque Istra we can be speaking to Julian Mark string the clarinetist white we have another track from our featured album of the night which is rise up from say a Cliff Richard which includes for the 1st time in 23 years a brand new Jew at with Livia Newton John this is everybody's someone. hour's time. My guess is evening in the words of the late Sir John dank with the best clarinet is to emerge in British jazz for decades he was voted the best clarinetists of the British jazz awards and he's worked with the best in the business including Kenny bold done last year Kenny bake a clear line in John dank with his one of the likes of meatloaf Tina Turner and the Spice Girls and he's a brand new album out it's called it's classical with a double Z. And is it Julian Marx Tringle places say that he joins me right now hi Julian good to have you on the show. It is a great pleasure yeah sorry predecessors here you really have worked with some of the all time greats Haven't you have I've been very lucky over the. Particularly there was fantastic work with John and Clay out towards the end of John's life particularly as he was such a great writer and arranger and he supplied me with some cases for the for the new album he'd written a piece called The lyric fantasy which crossed over because I've always been a lot been mostly in jazz over the years I had to I had a classical training and John. Written a space that went in and out of classical music into jazz sequences so he said to me Oh Josie MAS will take this and and use it for fear next recording and it was a tremendous pace yet how good is that yeah it was wonderful wonderful and yeah and I'm very fortunate also to work with the say the greats like Kenny PL and. Don lusher and there was a great learning curve for me over the years it said this so many of them are no longer with is now that's Roy's ashame I mean I did. Working with my my friend Digby Fairweather as well we did George Melly's gig for about 4 years and they gradually they gradually are all going I think Chris Bob is the only one that's still touring furiously even though the age of 87 away every is incredible He's incredible we had him on the show a few years back. He's my he's amazing I've got some friends of mine younger friends who've joined the band and he just incessant touring is particularly this time of year they were why for months on end this is fantastic it's amazing this is down to the beginning we may have to get into music Well it was through my diet really I suppose all he had a huge record collection of of jazz music through all sorts of periods and I He was a drama. Originally me always had a drum kit set up in the in the house and all used to try and I used to tinkle around on the piano how him and. When the drums were set up I used to pull on the Big Spider back record and try to play along with that but I didn't really know what I wanted to play it until. One Christmas bought me a tennis saxophone and a clarinet in the in the same case and I just took to the clarinet just was became my. My favorite instrument of has been ever ever since my favorite instrument of choice yes me why do you think that is what you like about the clarinet it's just the sound I was sort of influenced early early on by the by the the Chicago Dixieland era with Moxie Spanier and. Nervously. Benny Goodman and then I was heavily into peanuts Hock who used to work with the Eddie Condon band for many years and. Fortunately I started playing jazz very young Chris died in the club in Manchester and I got as a as a kid I got to play with with AK our fun and often on a T.V. Show with with the lovely REUCASSEL when he had those shows on television and. When he had the cloud I got to play with peanuts aka And Bud Freeman and wise guys from that era and I gradually went through and then I had bought a different car and that sort of took me into another world of incredible clarinet playing and I was a huge party to Franco fan for many is and then of course on again I heard Eddie Daniels. Who's become a huge influence on my life my plying inmates that I've been very helpful over the years because I've had some sort of contact with with them over over the years which has been lovely Yeah I mean you make your T.V. Debut just full Nina of the time. Yeah it was it was great because when I was a bit of I went to the last summer school in Edmonton which was a very musically orientated school anyway and a lot of the guys who I met there Paul Claudius and Steve sip well and various things we formed a young Dixieland band and Roy causal had a show on the T.V. Talk show called soul of the time which. Sort of. Sort of housed kids all young people doing unusual things we like to have and we had that the young jazz band which also included a very very young Samantha Brown brownstone who was singing in the band of the time she was only 12 I think. It was amazing you know we did we we did the the show we've with Roy and he asked Akka to come on and be the guest and we ended up playing in a Sweet Georgia Brown together which was fantastic us who attended the London College of music were you studying composition and William Lloyd Webber Yes Andrew and union Yes that's right yeah it was again. With William Lloyd Webber was obviously Andrew and the incredibly well known Julian but William was a fantastic write same selfie rights and lovely pieces for the clarinet. So it was great he wrote a beautiful piece called French pond and so because I go into the orchestra when when we were there when we used to sort of die around the country on various orchestral trips playing Williams music which was absolutely gorgeous it was sort of influenced by the the French school Revelle and also the English the lovely English impressionistic school daily Assen. Of all Williams and things like that I was a gorgeous writer so it would always your plan to have your own band and tool or a make albums it was that the idea kind of evolved really die because I thought as I progressed and I listened to it it's about a different kind then it Eddie Daniels' Marc Marc playing polo I still love to do the Chicago Dixieland thing my playing kind of harmonic legal slightly more contemporary and so we are sort of experimented with with different lineup same clue thing sort of. boards Ready and electric Bisons sort of using the clarinet in a slightly more contemporary why. And we we might on the band evolved as well it's funny how bands always do that to the personnel changed over the years and. I'm now I've got my my perfect line up if you know I mean it works superbly well no matter what we will get to and I was made an album called Blues for the morning after which was probably the 1st real recording we tape with the band as it is now and that was when such on. The album and he gave me that lovely quotes which was help me have a sincerely it's not just absolutely I mean the music industry it's a tough business to get into even tougher to make a living at. It So how did you manage you how do you manage to break through because I mean is it because you know you were so good that people just sort of sat up and listened to I think it was all it's a funny thing because we were in it with the clarinet it's been a very neglected instrument. Especially in sort of contemporary jazz and. Modern Jazz and maybe funky music old Latin music because I kind of my age is on that and by sort of calls to little me from myself and people who know me as the clarinet player that So to sort of look out for and why and they. And I think it's the versatility these ties if you can it be involved in this many different styles as possible because I still do a lot of Horsley with the classical album is I still love to sort of play a classical music as well as jazz and. That's another thing that kind of Eddie Tanya was influenced in me really because he does and he's a fantastic classical player. As well as being a wonderful jazz player and he's a was a committed dogs I've said probably communicate on e-mail needs or was sending me. Things. Let's just take a break play a track from your brand new album which in fact we're going to be featuring his album of the night in January the album is called it's classical with. And from it here is poor butterfly. To. Pulled butterfly from the brand new album it's classical for my guest Julian mock string though so how did you come to recall this album Well it was a strange diary what happened was. That initially I might the guy plays guitar with my lovely wonderful gets off like with Dominic cash with he came over one day we were in the studio and he's just it why don't we do we were thinking about doing something. Sort of semi classical that involved jazz elements as well so he said why don't we do an edited version of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue justice just to stick it to all clarinet and double Bice So we worked on that and we did we did and then just did version of that and then when I was working with such on clay I win the Time piece band joining me this lovely piece of he's a lyric fantasy which was again was a crossed in and out of classical music into jazz and we we did a big. Concert together called good mine you know where we played several things that when we played. Leonard Bernstein is pretty if you can riffs and. And then what happened with the band I was think thinking about the projects we were still. It's a think of other ideas of doing all sorts of similar type of arrangements of crossover material so we ended up doing so because Neil Langley who helps me a lot there is a wonderful can apply we we did some He's he's really into Argentinian tango music so we took some asked L.P.'s out of the pieces the labor tango and a couple of other pieces oblivion and we asked a good friend of ours a lovely arranger called John Jensen to to write use them for us in a in a similar lie in the album evolved and now we we've got so much material David of it will have to do Volume 2. I mean he really is a radio friendly music isn't it yes he is a me now and again I was I was trying to. Because of the clarinet has had such a little little coverage over the well since probably probably Akaroa thing. The voice of the clarinet hasn't really been heard on radio so we were trying to to get to get tracks pieces of music that would be right you know friendly in various areas. Maybe in the class Kaleri. Might be for A.B.C. Radio or Classic F.M. Or that sort of thing so I think we've seen we've achieved Chief what that what we set out to do in a why it's come out really well it has and it's been really comprehensive sleeve notes which I love reading Yeah thank you thank you for that. And you have mentioned a couple of times the clarinet come and gone out of favor. I mean why is that because when we think of all the greats you know Benny Goodman Artie sure Yeah well I was an amazing I mean I think because I was I got a compilation double album of all say that the other day and I was always reading the the sleeve notes and when in the one scene for. He's When he had the hit with big in the big gain he was earning $60000.00 a week in 1940 and. They really were the pop stars of the DI and I think the other thing I think when I was it was before relapse if a cash in of instruments came along there used to be no amplifier gets hall bison things like that in the clarinet was a was of a higher pitch a nice to be had to ride over the top of a big band and I think that's why they became such huge styles so I mean obviously the sound of the clarinet is Chinese by I've tried to. Try to involve it in slightly more contemporary settings so that it might appeal to a wider audience or or younger audience even trying to. The you know move it into a big sceptic by the Nugent generation if you like Yeah well let's hope so because I mean the saxophones really popular isn't it and it's a lot of fun yeah climb a nation no that's right it's the saxophone has become the sexy instrument you know over the last few years. And you know I'll do one up playing quite a lot of saxophone as well in various groups but the clarinet it's always been my 1st large slice of the sound and the. Flexibility of it's wonderful instruments I think I think it deserves a new a new beginning if you like you know and you can get the sound across to a new new audience that would be my my my dream really I mean you could do for the clarinet what Kenny G. Did for this idea is good yes that would be and you have to ask him or you do not can assume and I don't yes we do yes of course I'll go a still still got a very long have itself managed to hang on to. Lucky in that respect but Kenny I mean Kenny G. He's a wonderful soprano player out I saw him many moons ago before he became really big and. Yes that would that would be my perfect scenario if I could do what Ken has done with the soprano and do the same thing with the clarinet it with the whole thing we've got to try and. Well as you know helping a great deal that she does it with with with the radio pliers we've got to try and get exposure in there with the album and ready apply and press and magazine coverage and things like that then I think it I think it I think it's possible fingers crossed Yeah any idea when when plans a clue to will come out yeah we've got I think that will be out fairly shortly in the new year because we've we've recorded pretty much all the material. I think there's probably 2 additional pieces of music we're going to record so I would imagine. Spring or think of next year look at volume 2 ounce fantastic this take a break going to play something from your album a time for love which is which was your debut Vocal Album. Come back and we'll talk more right after we hear one of my favorite songs Embraceable You. 6 Embraceable You son by my guest Julian Marx Tringle who also played the clarinet is well I love the arrangements on that it gives it a new lease of life doesn't it. As a side with with the vocal album yet we tried to approach them while obviously the wonderful songs we we went through a whole. Series of peaceful American Songbook. Classic songs with wonderful lyrics and again tried to approach them in a slightly different way I think embrace we with all that Tommy Lester that is a Latin slightly Latin fail with a lovely acoustic it's all backing and things and and. Sort of tried to approach the melody quite simply playing the clarinet on the album sort of style really near the melodies as it were. That yeah I'm quite proud of that record as well that's that's come out very nicely it's got a kind of a Clouseau Goodman feel about it yeah yeah yeah cause we did we were again we we did some lovely string arrangements for it and put the strings on in the background and it's it was very we we ran out of those albums I see Dave it became so popular all. We've got to do a reprint of it. It was a big seller I think people lost because it's kind of it's a lovely album that you can put on in the background the thing you can just have it playing and people love that they're not they can have it in the background while they're doing you know having a policy or chatting altering Yes And this such a lovely it's got a lovely feel to it. Well the song choice is a terrific I mean and this one even written by your dad then his is a series Yeah yeah dad. Wrote some. Some songs for musical with a lovely musician call Royce Phillips who had a bank called the peddlers in well they were around sixty's and seventy's fantastic musicians and he wrote a musical called Color Blind which is a by Still Martin Luther King and. We thought that one of the songs from from the show would be ideal for the album and that works really well again we should repost it we did it kind of a string arrangements and such a lovely melody it would do to flee for the clarinet again so means why do you take you so long to record a vocal album is it could you just too busy playing the clarinet. As a diary what I've always my mom was a singer in and. Odd was sung in. Bands over the years and again when I was working with Digby we we we wanted really to do for Paul vocal harmony group a bit like the full freshman. Of the Mel time C.M.L. So minimal time so we did we he wrote some arrangements a few songs doing that and I I ended up ended up singing the lead the lead vocals in that group in paper said to me when I want a new record some solo songs you know your voice really so it's just this type of music and a lot took me a long time to because I don't really think of myself as a singer 1st and foremost obviously of clarinetist and reply a bit obvious encouraged to do it and fortunately it turned out rather nice and he did so maybe another one on the way do you think yes I think so you have been people keep asking me on the on the Kansas in the gig when when he's Volume 2 coming out so if again I've got I've got to get.
