Django and Stephane Grappelli were working in the same band there and one evening before a performance Django was plucking at his guitar when Stephane joined in on violin.
  • By 1939 the QHCF was going from strength to strength; both Django and Stephane had become more daring and adventurous and the rhythm section's backing was more subtle. The outbreak of war on 3 September found the unit in London. Stephane remained for the duration; Django risked taking a boat back to France. The great days of The Quintet Of The Hot Club Of France were over.
  • From 1946, firstly in London and later in Paris there were reunions between Django and Stephane but, with a few exceptions, these had lost their pre-war edge.

Asin: B00002587J   |   Ean: 5026554201361

It Should Come As No Surprise That Sam Browne (1898-1972) Makes Four Appearances On This Collection. The Most Versatile And Prolific Of Dance Band Vocalists, Sam Was Consistently In Demand During His Peak Years From The Late Twenties To The Late Forties..
The Uk Had The National Savings Movement; In The States Civilians Were Encouraged To Save Too, Witness Bing Crosby Proudly Informing Us That He's Saving A Dime (Out Of Every Dollar)..
George Formby Was At The Height Of His Popularity During The First Half Of The War And Delighted Civilians And Servicemen Alike With His Subtle (And Not So Subtle) Double Entendres And Pokes At Pompous Commanding Officers..
In The Mood Is, As An Instrumental, Most Closely Associated With Glenn Miller And Joe Loss. More Unusually We Have A Vocal Version Here, Stylishly Put Over By The American 'Sister Act' The King Sisters (Alyce, Yvonne, Donna And Louise). This Quartet Flourished From 1939 Under Conductor Alvino Rey Who Married One Of The Sisters.

Features

  • Noel Gay (born Reginald Armitage) was one of the most prolific British songwriters of the Thirties and early Forties. He is responsible, with Ralph Butler, for our two opening numbers.
  • In The Mood is, as an instrumental, most closely associated with Glenn Miller and Joe Loss. More unusually we have a vocal version here, stylishly put over by the American 'sister act' The King Sisters (Alyce, Yvonne, Donna and Louise). This quartet flourished from 1939 under conductor Alvino Rey who married one of the sisters
  • It should come as no surprise that Sam Browne (1898-1972) makes four appearances on this collection. The most versatile and prolific of dance band vocalists, Sam was consistently in demand during his peak years from the late Twenties to the late Forties.
  • George Formby was at the height of his popularity during the first half of the war and delighted civilians and servicemen alike with his subtle (and not so subtle) double entendres and pokes at pompous commanding officers.
  • The UK had the National Savings Movement; in the States civilians were encouraged to save too, witness Bing Crosby proudly informing us that he's Saving A Dime (Out Of Every Dollar).

Perfect Swing CD: Best Jazz Bands of the 20s 30s & 40s. Lively jitterbuggers. Vintage Music From Original Recordings

Asin: B00005MHSR   |   Ean: 5026554201385

Benny Goodman Makes Two Appearances In Our Compilation And That Is Only Fitting, Given His Dominant Position In The Swing Pantheon. Christened The 'King Of Swing' By His Promotions People, Goodman Was An Incisive Instrumentalist, A Clarinet Virtuoso Who Had Emerged From Chicago's Jewish Ghetto, Made Good Musically And Formed An Excellent Big Band..
Louis Armstrong So Much Liked Swing That Music That He Used It As The Title For His (Ghosted) Autobiography. He Made Two Versions Of This Exciting Piece In 1936, The First With His Own Band And This With The Popular Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra Just Three Months Later..
It Was Lil Armstrong (Nee Hardin) Who Set Her Husband Louis On The Path To Stardom With Some Astute Promotional Ideas. When He Moved On And They Divorced, Lil Re-Built Her Career As A Bandleader And Cut Some Tasty Small-Group Records. Her Tribute To The Lindy Hop (A Dance Craze Pioneered At Harlem's Savoy Ballroom) Spots Her Girlish Vocal And Some Hot Trumpet From The Underrated Shirley Clay..
What Better Way To Open Our Marvellous Collection Of Re-Mastered Classics From The Swing Era Than With At The Woodchopper's Ball? Woody Herman's Greatest Commercial And Popular Success Features Woody's Haunting Blues Clarinet And Neil Reid's Punchy Trombone With Saxie Mansfield On Tenor-Saxophone And Trumpeter Steady Nelson..

Features

  • Of course, to lovers of between-the-wars jazz, swing is far more than a portmanteau term for a musical style. But try to get a fan or indeed, a critic to define what they mean by swing and you tend to get a response which echoes Fats Waller's famous dictum: If you have to ask, you'll never know.
  • What better way to open our marvellous collection of re-mastered classics from the swing era than with At The Woodchopper's Ball? Woody Herman's greatest commercial and popular success features Woody's haunting blues clarinet and Neil Reid's punchy trombone with Saxie Mansfield on tenor-saxophone and trumpeter Steady Nelson.
  • Benny Goodman makes two appearances in our compilation and that is only fitting, given his dominant position in the swing pantheon. Christened the 'King of Swing' by his promotions people, Goodman was an incisive instrumentalist, a clarinet virtuoso who had emerged from Chicago's Jewish ghetto, made good musically and formed an excellent big band.
  • It was Lil Armstrong (nee Hardin) who set her husband Louis on the path to stardom with some astute promotional ideas. When he moved on and they divorced, Lil re-built her career as a bandleader and cut some tasty small-group records. Her tribute to the Lindy Hop (a dance craze pioneered at Harlem's Savoy Ballroom) spots her girlish vocal and some hot trumpet from the underrated Shirley Clay.
  • Louis Armstrong so much liked Swing That Music that he used it as the title for his (ghosted) autobiography. He made two versions of this exciting piece in 1936, the first with his own band and this with the popular Jimmy Dorsey orchestra just three months later.
