Right Place, Right Time: An Interview with Dr. John

Apr 24, 12:01am Frontier Psychiatrist
Right Place, Right Time: An Interview with Dr. John "Mac" Rebennack, Jr. aka Dr. John BY JORDAN MAINZER The only thing weirder than seeing a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer in normal clothes is seeing a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who normally wears a headdress in normal clothes. On April 17, I was lucky enough to speak to Mac Rebennack, Jr., better known by his stage moniker Dr. John, after his show at SPACE Evanston. The short experience flew by: whether that was a result of a couple Goose Island brews and a 10 dollar black [...]

Louis Armstrong, Jazz Ambassadors, Richard Nixon and the Return from Ghana

Apr 18, 10:09am Groove Radio PT
Louis Armstrong in Ghana (1956)
I've written earlier about the 1950s U.S. State Department policy of using jazz musicians as American ambassadors spreading good will around the world in the 1950s, during the cold war ( http://blogs.kcrw.com/rhythmpl anet/americas-jazz-ambassadors /) A great example is Louis Armstrong's trip to Ghana in 1957, shortly after the West African country's independence from Britain: A lesser-known story concerns Satchmo's return to America after the state-sponsored good will mission.    The story goes this way:   Nixon was on the same plane going into Dulles Airport in Washington D.C..  Vice President Richard Nixon was a [...]

It’s Mardi Gras Time – Again!

It’s Mardi Gras Time – Again! Editor's Note: This is a repost from last year, or the year before - whatever. Mardi Gras is the final big blowout before the period of fasting and sacrifice called Lent.  Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, is the end of carnival season and the final day you can indulge in those earthly pleasures we all love so much. Ash Wednesday is next Wednesday. Feel free to party as you please; here’s some music to help you on your way.  Play ‘em loud, play ‘em often and play ‘em all year [...]

The Permanance of Pops: Louis Armstrong and American Music

Feb 4, 3:08am PopMatters
Louis Armstrong - Blue Again
The recently released early recordings of Louis Armstrong remind us that no one made a more complete contribution to art in the 20th century. It has become gospel in the jazz world that Everything Comes from Louis. And like so many truisms, the brilliance of Louis Armstrong is so plain that it is easy to miss. Louis "Pops" Armstrong was the first great jazz player and singer, and his first batch of recordings from the 1925 to 1933-collected here in a definitive ten-disc set-is one of the essential artistic fountains of the 20th century. This music, recorded in Chicago,...

Gimme Five: Our Christmas favorites include Nat King Cole, Vince Guaraldi … and Henry Rollins?!?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - The Temptations
There are as many Christmas music traditions as there are stockings hung with with care. For some, the process of awaiting ole St. Nick requires a classic soundtrack, filled with old favorites. For others, something newer makes sense. Our lists are varied enough to accommodate both impulses. So, yeah, we have Nat King Cole, Vince Guaraldi, Darlene Love, Burl Ives, [...]

Fervor For

Dec 12, 2012, 6:48pm FoeWeel
Fervor For Chelsea Piers NYC, 2012. Today, 12-12-12, is the concert for Hurricane Sandy here in NYC, and it seems that all of the relics of rock will be represented including a rumored reuniting of Nirvana with Paul McCartney in Kurt Cobain's place. Since Eddie Vedder is on the bill, he would probably be the better fill-in choice, since they came up around the same time, and it would be completely ironic, not iconic. I don't truly understand all of the fervor surrounding Nirvana. I had a chance to see them in college, and yes, they were good, [...]

Movie of the Week: Paris Blues (1961)

Nov 17, 2012, 12:00pm Stupefaction
Movie of the Week: Paris Blues (1961) The music of Duke Ellington is given a film treatment by Martin Ritt with Paul Newman as the trombone-playing composer, Sidney Poitier as his best friend/sax player, Joanne Woodward as Newman's love interest, Dianne Carroll as the conscious black chick for Poitier and Louis Armstrong as himself. There are also a couple of good supporting performances from Barbara Laage and André Luguet.

The Clarinet Wizardry Of Johnny Dodds

Nov 8, 2012, 12:12am Geezer Music Club
The Clarinet Wizardry Of Johnny Dodds I've always been pretty upfront about my appreciation for legendary clarinetist Benny Goodman - even kiddingly comparing myself to him in an earlier post - but there were lots of guys in the early jazz age who played a mean licorice stick. In fact, some of them probably inspired Goodman when he was first starting out in his hometown of Chicago, and I'd bet an instrumental wizard named Johnny Dodds was one of them. Although he was born in rural Mississippi and was for much of his career based in [...]

Vinyl Gazing: Louis Armstrong & Earl Hines – The Louis Armstrong Story Vol. 3

Nov 7, 2012, 11:00am Potholes In My Blog
Louis Armstrong - West End Blues 1928
Louis Armstrong & Earl Hines - The Louis Armstrong Story Vol. 3 Columbia:1928/1951 Critics like to talk about influence and when it comes to influence, no one casts a larger shadow than Louis Armstrong. From 1925 to 1928, Armstrong made a series of 78 rpm recordings with a shifting group of musicians alternatively known as the “Hot Five” and the “Hot Seven”. These songs came to define jazz music from that point onward, mapping its rhythms, its tonality, and its attitude. The recordings’ grasp extends even further into the second half of the twentieth century [...]

1973 - James Bond - Live and let die: title sequence
2012 is a milestone year for Bond fans, seeing both the 50th anniversary of the first episode in the film franchise, Dr. No, and the release of the 22nd in the series, Skyfall, due this month. As a teaser, Adele ’s eponymous theme song was unveiled last week – of which more later. As TGTF’s celebration of all things Bond-ian, we run through a short history of Bond movie themes. Where better than to start than at the beginning, with Dr. No, which, strictly speaking, didn’t have a theme song of [...]

Louis Armstrong, Cairo, 1961

Oct 2, 2012, 9:02am clever titles are so last summer
Louis Armstrong, Cairo, 1961 During the early days of the Cold War, the United States engaged in what was dubbed “Jazz Diplomacy.” The U. S. government helped arrange goodwill tours for noted jazz musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. The aim of the program was for these musicians to go to the Middle East, South America and other regions that could fall to Communist control and show the cultural freedoms of America through their music. This photo of Louis Armstrong was taken in 1961 while he and his band were touring Egypt as a cultural ambassador. For more information about [...]
