Music Review: Benny Goodman - Big Bands Live: Benny Goodman Orchestra, Feat. Anita O'Day
King of Swing remastered
Georgia On My Mind is most commonly associated with Ray Charles. It appears on every tribute album to Ray, and Willie Nelson (who recorded the song in 1978) sang it at his funeral. But Georgia was a standard long before Ray Charles made it his own. It was written by Hoagy Carmichael and lyricist Stuart Gorrell in 1930. The story goers that the Georgia of the title was originally intended to refer to Hoagy's sister, but realising that Gorell's words could apply also to the southern US state, the writers were happy to keep things ambiguous. The plan [...]
One of the very best of the singers who successfully managed the transition from big band songbird to solo jazz vocalist was June Christy, whose first high profile job was as the replacement for a future legend. But she would go on to a long and notable career of her own, winning a lot of fans with her warm and accessible voice and style. When young Shirley Luster moved to Chicago from her home town in downstate Illinois during the war years, it was to pursue a musical career that she'd started while still in high school. Calling [...]

Much like this lady and this fella , I discovered Anita O'Day through Matthew C. Duersten's "The Moon Looks Down And Laughs: The Wonderful, Horrible Jazz Life Of Anita O'Day," an excellent piece of writing originally published in some horrifying Los Angeles magazine, but much more findable in Da Capo Best Music Writing 2002 . I recommend tracking down that story if you can, because her life is impossible to sum up succinctly without it seeming utterly scandalous, and it was so much more than that. Here's the performance for which she's [...]
On a regional audition round for the South African version of Idols , a hopeful entrant introduced his chosen song as "Ain't That A Kick In The Head by…Michael Bublé". As one would expect, the contestant's performance was thoroughly mediocre. The real ring-a-ding-ding thing: Today any crumb wants to be a Rat Packer. I have no particular beef with Michael Bublé — except that he personifies the banalisation of the rich legacy of what Rod Stewart (of late another offender) calls "The Great American [...]
I promised a while back to follow up the first two New York mixes with one in black & white. In the interim, the two Christmas in Black & White mixes ( here and here ) were quite popular, so I hope that this collection of songs about or set in New York, spanning 30 years, will find an audience. And I hope that some of these songs will inspire the listener to seek out more music by some of the artists who are largely forgotten now. [...]
We played outside in our snowsuits, and then the sitter turned on the engine and the heat. We sat near the vents, drinking hot chocolate from a thermos lid. The windows were frosted from our breathing. Out there in the snow, where we couldn't see, my parents glided along, still married to each other. My mother was younger than I am now. They wore wool pants and sweaters and hats, and it was only from a distance that their progress looked effortless and unimpeded. Up close, the gliding through fresh snow made them sweat, and my father's glasses [...]

Erin McKeown : Thanks For the Boogie Ride [ purchase ] My first response to this week's theme was to realize that I had used three of my best choices for a post on my own blog, Oliver di Place . My next thought was that there are many songs of the "thank you for your love" variety. At that point, a procession of truly terrible pop songs began to play in my head. It seems that love is an overwrought emotional state that is always slow, has far too [...]

Can art be a vehicle for political change? Yes, I assume that a large part of Blair's appeal (like Kennedy's) is aesthetic, just as a large part of the Nazi appeal lay in its triumph of the will aesthetic. I suspect that many of the great cultural shifts that prepare the way for political change are largely aesthetic. A Buick radiator grille is as much a political statement as a Rolls Royce radiator grille, one enshrining a machine aesthetic driven by a populist optimism, the other enshrining a hierarchical and exclusive social order. The ocean liner art deco of the [...]
