BIX BEIDERBECKE - SINGIN' THE BLUES
02/12/2008 : Bix and Tram's revolutionary 1927 recording. "Singin' The Blues is basically made up of two thirty-bar solos, successively executed by Tram and Bix, both accompanied by Eddie Lang. It would be more exact to speak of two duets because the part played by the guitarist is so original and inspired - more than accompanying the two solos, it flows inside them." -Jean Pierre Lion BIX The Definitive Biography Of A Jazz Legend
BIX'S DAVENPORT BLUES
14/11/2008 : In loving tribute to Bix - who played so beautifully and died way too young. Davenport Blues was Bix Beiderbecke's first composition to have been recorded.

October 11 and 12, 1983 http://www.linopatruno.it http://www.cambiamusica.it http://www.michaelsupnick.com Original Dixieland Jass Band (ODJB) was a New Orleans band that made the first jazz recording in 1917. The group made the first recordings of many jazz standards, probably the most famous being "Tiger Rag." In late 1917 it changed the name's spelling to "Jazz." The band consisted of five white musicians who had previously played in the Papa Jack Laine bands, a diverse and racially integrated collection of musicians who played for parades, dances, and advertising in New Orleans. The O.D.J.B. were billed as the "Creators of Jazz." Trumpeter Nick LaRocca convinced himself (Brunn, 1960), in his old age, that this was literally true, but there is no evidence from the interviews and writings of the other O.D.J.B. members that the rest of the band ever considered it anything more than a snappy advertising slogan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_Dixieland_Jass_Band

"Stardust" LINO PATRUNO JAZZ SHOW
26/05/2008 : LINO PATRUNO JAZZ SHOW "Stardust" Paolo Petrozziello (cornet) Alberto Collatina (trombone) Luca Velotti (clarinet) Cinzia Gizzi (piano) Lino Patruno (banjo) Nunzio Giuliani (sousafone) Carlo Battisti (drums). Rome, 1991 http://www.linopatruno.it http://www.cambiamusica.it http://www.michaelsupnick.com "Stardust" is an American popular song composed in 1927 by Hoagy Carmichael with the lyrics added in 1929 by Mitchell Parish. "Stardust" (the song's original title was "Star Dust", which has long since been compounded into "Stardust" was written at the Book Nook in Bloomington, Indiana (across the street from the Indiana University School of Law, where Carmichael had attended school) on an old upright piano, and first recorded in Richmond, Indiana for Gennett Records by Carmichael's band in 1927 as a peppy jazz number. Carmichael said he was inspired by the types of improvisations made by Bix Beiderbecke. The tune at first attracted only moderate attention, mostly from fellow musicians, a few of whom (including Don Redman) recorded their own versions of Carmichael's tune. "Stardust" was covered by almost every prominent band of that time. Versions have been recorded by Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, Nat King Cole, Mel Tormé, Connie Francis, Harry Connick Jr, Ella Fitzgerald, The Peanuts, Django Reinhardt, Barry Manilow, John Coltrane, Rod Stewart, Willie Nelson, Billy Ward and the Dominoes, and many others. However, it has been the Artie Shaw version of 1941, with memorable solos by Billy Butterfield (trumpet) and Jack Jenney (trombone) that remains the favorite orchestral version of the Big Band era. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stardust_(song)
"The Very Thought of You" Michael Supnick & Russ Little
19/05/2008 : "The Very Thought of You" Jam Session al Gregory's Jazz in Rome, Italy. Michael Supnick (leader and trombone), Francesca Tandoi (piano), Guido Giacomini (bass), Roberto Pistolesi (drums). Very special special guest Russ Little (trombone on right of screen). Check out Russ Little's web site: http://www.russlittle.com/ and Michael's: http://www.michaelsupnick.com Realization and editing by Antonio Parisi adservice@tiscali.it "The Very Thought of You" is a pop standard published in 1934, with music and lyrics by Ray Noble. In addition to Noble's own hit recording of the song with his orchestra, featuring the vocals of Al Bowlly, there was also a popular version recorded that same year by Bing Crosby. A decade later, the song was on the charts again in a version by Vaughn Monroe. Doris Day sang the song in the 1950 movie Young Man with a Horn, a fictional tale partly based on the life of early jazz trumpeter Bix Beiderbecke. In 1961, "The Very Thought of You" was on the charts again ,in a rhythm & blues version recorded by Little Willie John, and three years later a rock and roll version by Ricky Nelson reached #19 on the Billboard chart. There have also been numerous recordings of the song by jazz and pop standards artists, including Frank Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, Carmen McRae, Billie Holiday, and Elvis Costello; and a blues version on Albert King's Born Under a Bad Sign album. Most recently, Tony Bennett and Sir Paul McCartney recorded a duet version of the song for the former's Grammy-winning 2006 album Duets: An American Classic. An instrumental version of the song is also among the background music in the film Casablanca in the scene where Sascha kisses Rick Blaine on the cheek.
Sunday - Lino Patruno
07/05/2008 : Sunday ? Lino Patruno We present you with a clip from another Italian Lino Patruna jazz show in which he features the music of the legendary jazz violinist Joe Venuti. Joe claimed to have been born in Italy and naturally many Italian violinists followed in his musical footsteps. Joe started his famous career with the Jean Goldkette Orchestra and this group recorded the tune ?Sunday? in 1926. Other members in that band were Bix Beiderbecke, Eddie Lang and also Spiegle Wilcox. In his later years I became a good friend with Spiegle and he told me that in the seventies he would go on annual trips to Europe together with Joe. They would start in the north in Scandinavia and work their way south to always finish in Italy. In this clip there is some good jazz playing by the violinists. Unfortunately the only musician I recognize is Oscar Klein on cornet. I played with Oscar once in New Orleans and of course remember him from his earlier days as a member of Peter Schilperoort?s Dutch Swing College Band. And....of course, Lino Patruna is the driving force on his guitar.
