A Lunar Fantastic Foursome

May 11, 12:12am Geezer Music Club
Joe Venuti - Moonglow
One of my favorite posts on the GMC is titled The Curious Case Of Moonglow , and it explores how "Moonglow" - a fine song in its own right - somehow got attached to the theme from the 1955 film Picnic , and became a best-selling record. In fact, the resulting two-song medley was so popular that it became the unofficial standard, in many cases showing up even when the song title just shows "Moonglow." But on today's Fantastic Foursome, we're getting back to basics and featuring the original "Moonglow," a song [...]

Song Swarm: Georgia On My Mind

Oct 12, 2011, 1:01am Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Song Swarm: Georgia On My Mind 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 [...]

Half Notes: Artie Shaw – More Last Recordings (1993)

Artie Shaw and his Gramercy Five - Stardust
Even if he wouldn't have established so many jazz standards, Artie Shaw would have still been famous for his blaze-of-glory exit. He walked out of the Cafe Rouge at the Hotel Pennsylvania in the 1950s, mid-gig, and took off for Mexico. Never played another note. And he said he never wanted to, even when he felt music had gone to

Respecting Our Elders: Helen Forrest

Jun 29, 2010, 9:32pm The Wounded Jukebox
Respecting Our Elders: Helen Forrest I’d been trying to get into Big Band music recently, and people I had asked advice from pointed me towards folks like Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman and Jimmy Dorsey. And that was all well and good, but it left me wanting. Recently though, NPR did an article on Artie Shaw’s 100th Birthday and his Clarinetial influence upon his time. The article included songs with a dame named Helen Forrest , who provided vocals for much of Shaw’s orchestrations, and suddenly I remembered my Grandmother’s love for this woman’s voice. There wasn’t a classically [...]

NYC in black & white

Jan 25, 2010, 5:37pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
NYC in black & white 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. [...]

M.C.????????????????????????????
Audiversity’s weekly column on music we stumble across during our sonic adventures. No random numbers, just straight audio goodness. MA: I typically read books on jazz to try and comprehend the revolutionary cats of the 60s avant-garde era, but as with trying to understand anything, you have to know the roots before you can get the stems. Not too long ago, I worked my way through Gary Giddins’ excellent Visions of Jazz: The First Century , and despite being quite taken by the chapters [...]

Halloween Countdown: October 12 – a sound to die for

Oct 12, 2007, 4:45pm Armagideon Time
Jazz trumpeter Mason Chaney has hit rock bottom, but when a wandering booking agent spots Chaney chugging isopropyl alcohol in a back alley, he is given one last chance to redeem himself. The only problem is that Chaney has long since pawned his horn in exchange for a gallon jug of Thunderbird. Seaching for a suitable replacement that won't set him back more than a few units of plasma, Chaney stumbles into a local branch of Ye Olde Sinister Curiosity Shop TM (NasdaqGS: YOSC ), where the franchise owner offers Chaney a [...]
