    Billie Holiday – Billie’s Blues (1936)

    Thursday, April 8th, 2010


    Billie Holiday (born Eleanora Fagan; April 7, 1915 July 17, 1959) was an American jazz singer and songwriter. Nicknamed Lady Day by her sometime collaborator Lester Young, Holiday was a seminal influence on jazz and pop singing. Her vocal style — strongly inspired by instrumentalists — pioneered a new way of manipulating wording and tempo, and also popularized a more personal and intimate approach to singing. Critic John Bush wrote that she “changed the art of American pop vocals forever.” She co-wrote only a few songs, but several of them have become jazz standards ————————————————— Rowland Bernard “Bunny” Berigan (November 2, 1908 – June 2, 1942) was an American jazz trumpeter who rose to fame during the Swing Era, but whose virtuosity and influence were shortened by a losing battle with alcoholism that ended in his early death.

    Rhythm And Blues Revue 10/10 (1955)

    Saturday, April 3rd, 2010


    This 1955 R&B Revue consists of performances by some of the greats of the golden era of Rhythm and Blues including Cab Calloway, Martha Davis, Ruth Brown, Lionel Hampton, Faye Adams, Nat ‘King’ Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Herb Jeffries, and Joe Turner. The Hampton numbers reveal how close he came to abandoning jazz entirely in favor of music in the proto rock vein. Calloway is doing another version of his hit “Minnie the Moocher”, this one actually superior to his later rendering in the Blues Brothers. Joe Turner adds a performance which once again demonstrates that he is one of the all time great blues shouters. The Delta Rhythm Boys sing “Dry Bones”, an early showing of the gospel roots to R&B. Amos Milburn’s “Bad Bad Whiskey” is a tad painful to watch, given Milburn’s subsequent descent into alcoholism. All in all, the film offers a rare insight into the dawn of the burgeoning rock era.
