TWO KITTYS FROM KANSAS CITY?
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.13 лет назад
Apparently there are at least two Kittys from Kansas City celebrated in popular song. One we know was from Kansas City, Missouri and the other, although never specified, was most likely from Kansas City, Kansas. Hence the confusion. Kitty Number One first surfaced in a song, KANSAS CITY KITTY (1929), by Walter Donaldson and Edgar Leslie. An irresistible heart breaker, a Kansas Circe. Kitty Numb...
I WANT TO BE BAD Zelma O'Neal

One of the big stars of Broadway in the twenties who did not have equal success as a movie star in the transitional period from theatre to talkies was the comedienne, dancer and actress Zelma O'Neal (1903-1989.) She had introduced "The Varsity Drag" in the original 1927 Broadway production of the college musical, "Good News." The authors and songwriters of that show, DeSylva, Brown and Henderso...
CASABLANCA lost version
Просмотров 37913 лет назад
For years I've been told on the highest authority that the notorious bigot, Senator Bilbo of Mississippi (1877 1947), was so offended by the obvious affection shown in the 1940 film CASABLANCA between a German refugee played by Ingrid Bergman and an American negro, played by Dooley Wilson, that he forced Jack Warner, then president of the studio that bore his name, to make an alternate version....
HAPPY FEET MONTAGE
Просмотров 74213 лет назад
One of the most spirited arrangements Ferde Grofe ("Grand Canyon Suite") ever wrote for the Paul Whiteman's amazing orchestra was this this toe-tapping version of HAPPY FEET which the ensemble played in an early 1930 talkie film, THE KING OF JAZZ. The film highlighted a vocal group of young All-American lads called THE RYTHMN BOYS: New York-born Harry Barris and two guys who had met in college ...
TWO BROTHERS: Armstrong & Teagarden
Просмотров 60 тыс.13 лет назад
LOUIS ARMSTRONG once said that no other jazzman gave him as much pleasure to listen to as JACK TEAGARDEN, and Jack was white. Born in Vernon, Texas in 1905, Teagarden grew up fascinated by the church music in the black part of that small town. When Louie formed his small group, The All Stars, in 1946-7 Jack, already a great star in his own right, was the trombonist and featured singer. The two ...
Stickin To Me Mother Formby & Jessel
Просмотров 55413 лет назад
Of all the songs about dear old mother two of the dearest stand out, both by Georges: (1) George Formby's I'M GOING TO STICK TO ME MOTHER from the 1935 English comedy film "Off the Dole," and (2) Georgie Jessel's dramatic recitation and final chorus of MY MOTHER'S EYES from the 1929 early semI-talkie "LUCKY BOY." When Jessel who had played in the play "Jazz Singer" on Broadway was offered the p...
Groucho +H20

HORSE FEATHERS was the first Marx Bros. picture shot at the Paramount Studios in Hollywood in 1934. Their previous two talkies were shot in New York at the Astoria lot while the brothers were performing at night on Broadway, Sound recording was in its infancy. In Hollywood, Groucho first recorded the song and played guitar in a sterile studio and then lip-synced to playback on location. In the ...
BLUE MOON and before (compilation)
Просмотров 8 тыс.13 лет назад
BLUE MOON (3:13 compilation) The classic Rodgers and Hart tune BLUE MOON has a marvelous history. It was written during the team's disastrous Hollywood period in the early 1930s. After their youthful success on Broadway they were lured to the coast only to discover that, more often that not, life in tinsel town was an endless series of compromises and frustrations; most of what they wrote was n...
You know it's Louis before you see him.
One of the finest duos ever... Hear "Someday you'll be sorry" and "That's for me" with Louis and Jack. Doesn't get better!
Man Pops was playing great!
These two were very special artist and true what is written is true "Nb equals genius.
Man, Louis' high chops were as strong as I've heard in his later-ish years in both videos. Love these duets. They way their sounds and style compliment each other was beyond beautiful.
Начальная инструментальная импровизация-образец новоорлеанского джаза.
Wonderful TV clip of Pops and Jack. Just look at Cozy Cole's face light up, that says it all.
Merci beaucoup from Paris France 👍 👍 👍 !
so many greats are gone.. good thing we have so many recordings
Oh WOW 😯 Amazing 🤩
🙄💚🌱🥀
A bow to the heavens
Perfekt.
The original Louis Armstong All-Star Band really was an All-Star Band. It included Jack Teagarden , Earl Hines, Barney Bigard, Big Sid Catlett. As time progressed it really became the Louis Armstong One Star Band. But the reputation of Louis Armstong as a really important person in jazz history was reinforced by Wynton Marsalis.
Ian, The early iterations of the All Stars with Fatha Hines, Teagarden, and Sid Catlett were just outstanding, but to say that the later gatherings were only "one star" is exaggerated: Billy Kyle was actually a better ensemble pianist than Hines; and Ed Hall was an oustanding replacement for Barney Bigard. The real losses were Teagarden, whose beautiful melodic presence allowed Pops to relax and play more lyrically than was his wont when paired with Trummy Young, who was more powerful but somewhat crude at times. Catlett, who died in 1950 at 41, was no doubt the greatest jazz drummer ever, and his loss was to all of music.. He was replaced by another outstanding drummer, Cozy Cole, but by 1955 there was Barrett Deems who, though nowhere near as bad as critics made out and certainly way better than his successor Danny Barcelona, was not within a continent of Sid or 26 miles of Cozy. The deterioration was very gradual but over time, certainly by the mid-60's, the designation "All Stars", was a strident misnomer.
@@MrKlemps I agree about the second All-Star band. I actually prefer Ed Hall to the more famous Barney Bigard. but Trummy Young was crude. Afrter them it really went downhill.
@@ianbeddowes5362 Thanks. In the late 60's when innumerable health problems finally saw Pops wearing down, Tyree Glenn took over on trombone and proved to be a major upgrade over Trummy. But in fairness to the latter he was a wonderful, sensitive player in the old Luncefird band of the 1930s and 40s.
Louis and Jack on Trumpet and Trombone No. 1. But ..... do not forget Ruby Braff playing the INTRO.
Never saw Teagarden in living color before!
I saw Teagarden in person at the Metropole Cafe in NYC in October of 1963 and he autographed a book about his life for me and we asked him to play a couple of tunes. I'll never forget that day. Bob Boscarato; I'm using my son's Mike PC!
Superb
Thank you NB Schwartz for posting this interesting video!
Never get tired of the Pops Teagarden duets.. One of a kind pure prewar classic jazz
Just a great lesson in the Blues, check out the phrasing :-)
So sweet.
Teagardens were German and Native Cherokee Americans
Teagarden, with indian roots, like many other american jazz musicians. Armstrong had them in his orchestras from the beginning; so did Joe Oliver, Ellington, Basie, Webb, Lunceford... and so many others.
@@ferrancaila2666 Absolutely
@@ferrancaila2666 Some had denied this fact!
@@bobboscarato1313 There are hundreds of jazz musicians, among the best known, and lesser known, with Indian roots, certain or probable, whose identity has been directly ignored. I have researched this and published a book, in my native language, which I hope to version in English as soon as I can. Greetings.
@@ferrancaila2666 What's your native tongue? Scottish? I'm always interested! Thank you.
Huh
Warm singing from Jack and Louis.
There only one Teagarden and one Armstrong.
Strange. I have some sheet music that shows two verses, the first of which matches the one Rod Stewart sang (except he sang "moonlight" twice instead of "noonlight"). It has the alternate ending you've listed in brackets (ending "...the saddest of all men") while the second begins Once upon a time My heart was just an organ My life had no mission Now that I have you To be as rich as Morgan Is my one ambition Once I awoke at seven... (etc, as above) I don't know who Morgan was (as yet). So far I haven't found a version that matches the sheet music I have. There's a nice version of "Oh Lord, Can You Make Me A Star" by Elvy Yost (search for this: kvEocQhMh1o)
How great is this? Of course Pops was the best, but always loved Teagarden. Understand he, like Louie, was a viper.
I never heard that Tea was a viper. He had a severe drinking problem that cut him down before he reached 60. Pops always played great until he wore out physically in the lare 60's but he always played even "greater" when sharing the stage with Tea.
merci infiniment…..
I couldn't get what Jack said about Ruby Braff at the outset of the vid, but Ruby is a great player. The fun Louis and Jack had on "Rockin Chair" is memorable. On "Saints" it occurred to me that I had never heard Louis play any figure that seemed a cliche or stale.
Jack says about Ruby: He is the Ivy League of Louis Armstrong!
I think it is "He is the ivy league Louis Armstrong."
Ruby was born in Boston, hence the reference to Ivy League even though he did not attend Harvard.
Aaaah-MAZING stuff here. THANK YOU for posting!
Great Matt NY
Wow? those are true music lovers??? They seen almost pure????
They were pure!
Thanks for this video. Great Stuff! Do you know of a source of the quote, "Louis Armstrong once said that no other jazzman gave him as much pleasure to listen to as JACK TEAGARDEN"?
Yes on Jacks death Pops told the then media that Jack was the only trombonist that touched his heart
Thanks for this! I knew the story, and your video was great to practice along with for a performance I did at our neighbor's 96th birthday party today where I told the story and sang both "The Bad in Every Man" and "Blue Moon." It was a real crowd pleaser!
JACK TEAGARDEN UNICO EN EL MUNDO MIGUEL PICCOLO
Absolutamente amigo un jazzman extraordinario
Miguel a pesar de su apellido Ud. es un trombonista, correcto?
Me acuerdo cuando ensallabamos en la casa de Jorge Tonina en Flores!
All Star Band : Ruby Braff (tp) Louis Armstrong (tp-1,vcl) Jack Teagarden (tb,vcl) Tony Parenti (cl) Marty Napoleon (p) Chubby Jackson (b) Cozy Cole (d)
After 5 (five!) years finally the *first* thumbs-up and the *first* reply. Thanks for the lineup, hope you're still alive.
Cozy Coles and my Father we're friends. Asbury Park NJ Springwood Ave
Roy Bargy wrote the arrangement, not Ferdy Grofe.
interesting that her voice was more of a more mature woman's voice than the B.Boop doll voice the song is usually sung in.
How are you related ? She's very sweet.
Looks like Tony Parenti on clarinet
Indeed. This was you could say a contracted band. Besides Tea the man who gives it a relaxed lift is former All Star, Cozy Cole.
Nice
did connie boswell record the original version on brunswick?
yes it's on youtube
Gracias por compartirlo.
My apologies. I should have qualified the statement by saying "without becoming a star in Hollywood." By the way, Irving Thalberg was head of production at MGM and not Paramount and therefore could not have insisted that Zelma be cast in this Paramount feature. I believe that the novelist Budd Shulberg's father, B.P. Shulberg, was running the studio so it may have been B.P. who insisted. Ironically, Buddy DeSylva, who wrote the song, eventually had that executive job in the 1940s.
The session comes from the April 20,1958 Timex All Star Jazz TV show which brought together jazzmen from many generations. That's Cozy Cole on drums and Pee Wee Russell on clarinet. I cannot identify the others. Try appealing to one of the great Armstrong scholars dippermouth@msn.com. He knows everything Satch ever did.
Terrific video. Some of the best jazz I have ever heard. Wow, this is jazz.
