Views: 8559 |  |  |  |  | Don Neely and the ten piece Royal Society Jazz Orchestra, from San Francisco, are renowned for authentically capturing the exciting sound of Big Band Swing, Hot Syncopated Jazz, Blues, and music of the Cotton Club. Innovators such as Duke Ellington, Benny ...More Goodman, Paul Whiteman, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Bix Biederbecke, and Louis Armstrong are among the RSJO's inspirations. Yet, you will discover immediately upon seeing them live or listening to their recordings, that the Royal Society Jazz Orchestra has an intriguing personality and style of its own. |

~ Duke Ellington - Black and Tan Fantasie (1927)
Views: 7830 |  |  |  |  | From October 26, 1927, here is Duke Ellington's landmark recording of "Black and Tan Fantasie." Growling trumpeter Bubber Miley, along with trombonist Joe Nanton, are the star of this record. The pressing heard here is actually from the 1930's and is a du ...More b of the original recording. I included it as an example of how these studio dubs sounded to record buyers who played them on acoustic machines, which is to say 'very good.' The record player is an Orthophonic Victrola model VE4-4X, or "Granada". The "E" in the model number indicates that the Victrola is fitted with a synchronous A/C motor instead of a wind-up motor. The machine has a full "orthophonic" playback system (for electrically-recorded records) including the special orthophonic sound box with a duralumin diaphragm and a folded exponential horn inside of the cabinet. Although the gigantic Credenza Victrola produced deeper bass, the Granada had the most accurate overall frequency response of all the acoustic Orthophonic Victrolas. The serial number indicates that this machine was probably manufactured in 1926. I shoot my video with a Sony Digital 8 format camera. For audio, I use a Shure SM-57 microphone on a stand placed about 4 feet in front of the Victrola horn. I use "soft tone" needles to keep from overloading the microphone. The mic is plugged directly into the video camera. The videos are edited with Windows Movie Maker. I use Sound Forge 9 to clean up the audio, but don't worry -- you're hearing the record ... |

~ Duke Ellington - Black And Tan Fantasy 1929 Arthur Whetsol plays the jungle style trumpet solos!
Views: 5796 |  |  |  |  | Duke Ellington and his Orchestra 1929. Black And Tan Fantasy. Black Beauty Cotton Club Stomp These are excerpts of the early jazz art movie : Black And Tan Fantasy It shows the band in a setting very close to what the band did in the famous cotton club, b ...More acking dancers, singers and other acts. Black and Tan Fantasy is one of the first pieces Ellington recorded in what is now called jungle style. Originally in 1927 it was a kind of solo piece for trumpetter Bubber Miley. There also exist a lovely version (Even 2 takes) where Jabbo Smith substitutes for Miley, also 1927. When the time was ready in 1929 to make a movie recording, Miley had allready left the Ellington band. What makes this movie very interesting is that not Miley's follow up, Cootie Williams plays the solos, but instead it is Arthur Whetsol. Cootie was allready in the band, but self declared in an interview that at first he did laugh about the growl/plunger solos and only after a while started studying it seriously. Arthur Whetsol was more known for his lyrical solo work, a famous example is the haunting beautyfull tone on Creole Rhapsody. Another striking lyrical solo by Whetsol can be heard on Black Beauty, also in this movie. Also note that Whetsol plays the muted solo on Black and Tan with a harmon mute, usually it is done with a plunger by others. Also an interesting note is that the alto saxophone solo, that used to be played by Otto Hardwicke, is not played by his follow up Johnny Hodges, but instead ... |
