Chickasaw Stomp, the Chickasaw Syncopators
"Chickasaw Stomp," recorded by a high school campus band led by a young Jimmie Lunceford, was reportedly the predecessor to "In Dat Morning" recorded by Lunceford in 1930. The fire-and-brimstone sermon excerpt by Moses Allen is memorable, in addition to Henry Clay's powerful and straightforward trumpet work. They were just kids, but this recording, along with "Memphis Rag," both recorded on December 13, 1927, left an unforgettable mark on jazz history.

Hot Aire, George Olsen and his Music

He was one of the most popular and successful bandleaders of the 1920s, and by 1924 was leading his own orchestra in Los Angeles, California. It was there that he came to the attention of theatrical giant Florenz Ziegfeld, and for the next ten years George Olsen would provide the music for numerous Broadway hits. His recording career with Victor Records was a prolific one, but in 1951 he retire...

Memphis Rag, The Chickasaw Syncopators
Просмотров 9154 года назад
They were a band comprised of Manassas High School students led by a young Jimmie Lunceford, and their name originated in the Indian word for the bluff on which the city of Memphis was built. Recorded on December 13, 1927, "Memphis Rag" is an incredibly driving stomp with a hypnotic rhythm, with trumpet and saxophone solos that are both straightforward and powerful. Top-notch drumming is courte...
I've Found a New Baby, Jimmie Gunn & his Orchestra
Просмотров 4325 лет назад
Recorded on June 18, 1936 in Charlotte, North Carolina on the second floor of the Southern Radio Corporation warehouse, it is one of the hottest renditions of this Jack Palmer/Spencer Williams song I have ever heard. Five additional recordings were made that day by the Jimmie Gunn Orchestra, comprising the entirety of their output. From the liner notes of "Tarheel Jazz: Territory Bands, 1936-19...
To My Levee Home, Jimmie Gunn & his Orchestra

"To My Levee Home" was recorded by the Jimmie Gunn Orchestra on June 18, 1936 on the second floor of the Southern Radio Corporation warehouse in Charlotte, North Carolina. On the days recording sessions were planned, the many cartons of RCA radios and phonographs housed there were pushed to the sides of the room and acted as "sound baffles" along with various rugs that draped the walls. The roo...
I Get Along Without You Very Well, Hoagy Carmichael
Просмотров 30 тыс.6 лет назад
Copyrighted in 1938, it was based on a poem found within the pages of LIFE magazine and credited to someone known only as "J.B." Passed along by an unknown friend to Hoagy, he painstakingly reworked it into what would become one of his most personal and emotional songs. There's really nothing else quite like it. Photos show some of the most influential and deeply loved individuals in Hoagy's li...
The Legend of Lonesome Lake, Eastwood Lane
Просмотров 8756 лет назад
Considered his most successful work, the six piano pieces published in 1922 that make up Eastwood Lane's "Adirondack Sketches" were inspired by the beautiful landscapes of the northern New York state mountains by the same name. Born in 1879 in Brewerton, New York, Lane was a primarily self-taught musician who, for the most part, has been forgotten today. "The Legend of Lonesome Lake," second of...
In a Mist, Bix Beiderbecke
Просмотров 5696 лет назад
It is the most well known of Bix's piano compositions, and one that is mentioned frequently by friends and fellow musicians as a work-in-progress throughout his all too brief musical career. Recorded by the composer himself on September 9, 1927, I chose this beautiful rendition by Bryan Wright because it also includes the "Tranquilly" section added by Bix in response to a request from Jack Robb...

Stardust, Hoagy Carmichael & His Pals
This version is too fast and doesn’t do justice to the melodic beauty of the song
;/+Snowfall *"/+ How surreal and dreamlike of a composition'+*/
Claude Thornhill wrote "Snowfall"; his wife, Ruth, later wrote the lyrics to it. By the time Thornhill made it the theme for his band, he had hired a fellow by the name of Gil Evans as an arranger. This is one of his arrangements. Evans would later become famous as an arranger and orchestrator for Miles Davis on his pioneering "cool jazz" albums. Evans was already including elements of what would become "cool jazz" in his work with Thornhill.
Your description beautifully captures the feeling and mood of this gently beautiful serene piece. Evocative Harmonies. So lovely.
Never heard this before. Thanks!
Thank you Debbie!! Yes, Hoagy’s arrangement is tops! Especially with Dick Robertson.
Yes ❤
The trombonist is John Orange. Thank you for posting this. I heard about it, but could never find it.
Magnifica!!!
The BEST tempo - slightly UP-tempo, NOT too slow as it is often heard.
I couldn't agree more. Similar to a slightly quickened heartbeat.
@@debbiewhite8770 It seems to me that up-tempo is more in keeping with the era of its composition by Hoagy; slower sounds a bit mawkish and over-'sentimentalized' to my ear (although I love Bing); other musicians have agreed: We play it up-tempo in my/our band(s); and it finds approbation from audience and dancers
Thank you Hoagy, for one of the most melancholy songs ever.
❤
Absolutely lovely, Debbie, Bryan and Bix! Thank you!
❤️
Love is song. I could listen to it all year round. Its September 6 2024.The weather is 100+ in southern California. But this song brings me to a cooler place👍.
Great cover of this song!. I love the holiday seasons my favorite time of the year. Great vedio thanks for posting. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🤶🎄2024
haunting harmonies...more complex than many of the bb that followed and just stellar piano playing... thank you Debbie for posting even if nearly 7 yrs ago....
Very nice!!
Thank you, Casey !
So beautiful ❣️
The sequence of paintings was a nice touch. Really helped set the mood. Thanks for posting!
Hey, I'm six years late to the party. This is lovely. wonderful pictures and great recording. I live in Arizona so I've been listening to this song lately. 😁 thanks! 🙏🏽❄️
I hope you are still out there somewhere, what fabulous photos, put to a fabulous song! I used to get this cd from our library, and it quickly became one of my favorites! I had never heard this song before then. Funny thing is every year our library has a big book and media sale every July, and I could not believe how lucky I was to find that they were selling this cd! Needless to say it is now mine! What a treasure! Doris Day does a lovely version of this song, and Jackie Gleason has a wonderful version also. In fact Jackie's Christmas cd, and this cd, are in my top five Christmas cds! I am hoping you put out some new content soon, thanks!
Thanks so much for your kind words, Kathleen ! I'm still KICKIN', but haven't made any videos in a long time. I need to get back in the saddle again because it's such a wonderful creative outlet. This particular recording is incredibly hypnotic and beautiful, and I adore it. CHEERS !
American Realism?
Really sounds like someone other than Frank Sinatra is singing…
You're certainly not alone in saying that. I actually love these early recordings the best, before Sinatra's voice had fully matured.
Definitive
This was my favorite tune from The Sting, although, The Entertainer got more radio time. I liked it too.
NICE!
Debbie, I read somewhere that Biz sent all his recordings home to his parents and when they died, he saw they had never even opened the album covers to listen. Pitiful.
❤❤❤❤❤
Can somebody please tell me why is this song puts my mind back in world war II. This song is so beautiful, Yet I always cry.
Such a great song to dance to, grab a partner and jitterbug!
Terrific blend of image and sound. Hopper is the perfect partner here. Moody, meloncholy, lyrical.
Thank you. That means so much to me !
Extraordinaria, simplemente exquisita.
1936!
Thank You so much for STARDUST, my Uncle Alvin Would go to the piano after dinner and entertain us with STARDUST and RHAPSODY.....
What a wonderful memory, Cynthia.
Great way of paying tribute to this wonderful, timeless tune! Been a big fan of Claude Thornhill’a band for years. Well done.
Beautiful...bless you all.
No doubt was a big influence on Bix piano songs. Sounds in the same way. ❤
Very beautiful indeed.
So hauntingly moody. Takes me to a different world, a different time.....

He do's his own songs very well, well, of course he do's.
is this Debbie White from S Fl?
I'm here because the show All in the family mentioned it in today's show by Mike with Gloria and Edith.
I didn't think there could be a bad version of this piece, but squealing on strings and various woodwinds over Joplin's immaculate composition will certainly do it. Who on earth thought that was a good idea, and how did he get away with it?
Thank you for your kind remarks, dargosian.
Oh, my, you seemed to miss it. This is the orchestral version used in the sound track of "The Sting", featuring many of Joplin's compositions and adapted for the film. It was pulled together by Marvin Hamlisch for the film and he deserves credit for bringing Scott Joplin's music to major public exposure, myself included.
@@whalesong999 It's doggone awful, no matter the reason that you in particular have an attachment to it. I have seven words for Hamlisch: Let the piano play the piano piece. I did listen to to this for the first time in 8 months, to see if I had been speaking nonsense, but I have to congratulate my past self for impeccable taste.
@@debbiewhite8770 Sorry for missing your comment, Debbie. The Edward Hopper paintings were a masterstroke on your part, and do justice to Solace -- juxtaposed like this, it's like they were made for each other. Thanks for the revelation. It's only this particular musical interpretation, with the strings and all, that I can't stand.
@@dargosian You probably do! I can be a purist also and after hearing other full renditions of Solace, I can concur. Actually, I think this shortened version and the instruments were done for the ambiance of the film. It kind of reminds me of the period music played in a chamber atmosphere in the movie "Dr. Zhivago".
I always will love this first record the most. I also am curious about the first two notes of the verse. This recording is the only time - to my knowledge, anyway - it's played as a whole step (heard here as E-F#) instead of the usual major third we all know, and which we are accustomed to hearing and playing. It clearly is what is intended, since it's played that way again when the phrase is repeated. I'm curious as to when and why Hoagy changed it. My own guess is that since it's easier for a singer to find and start on the tonic note, the change was made - either by Hoagy or an insistant publisher- when lyrics were added. The other possibility is that Hoagy simply liked it better when he tried it or heard it in his head, and so revised it before (?) publishing the song (it also could have been a publishing error, but I doubt it.) Thanks so much for posting this, and for the sensitive and beautiful visual accompaniment! Speaking of the sheet music, I've seen early editions in both C and Db, the latter key preferred by old-time society musicians. I always hear this recording in D. D is not as common a key to play on wind and brass instruments as Db, but the alto solo, with its tell-tale "open" sound on E-concert (C# on the alto, with no fingers down) says that we're in D. End of nerd ramble.
By far the best version of this piece on U-tube .Lovely music .
How do I contact Debbie White? My mother sang with The Jimmie Gunn Glee Club at J. H. Gunn where I also attended .
Absolutely wonderful. So nice to hear this gorgeous piece at the correct tempo. So lovely.
