~ Louis Armstrong 6 - Tiger Rag
Views: 127658 |  |  |  |  | I wanted to start with some clips that until now hasn't been put on YouTube.! Tiger Rag in a very fast tempo. There are lots of recordings from Armstong in this tempo. The frontline thinks and plays in a two beat. Otherwise it's unplayable. I'm extremely ...More happy! Today I've managed to get the first series of clips on YouTube. You know, I'm a YouTube watcher from the start (feb 2005), I discovered YouTube long before it was well known as nowadays. And certainly in my country the Netherlands, the hype started much later. From the beginning I wanted to share my DVD's on YouTube. Ever since I was looking for software to convert DVD into Mpeg-4 files. It was frustrated! I couldn't find anything right which was working well and simple to handle. My problem was also that I haven't had any help from anyone! But until last week, I discovered a fitting freeware program. And with much blood, sweat and tears I finally get this result! Now my first series is about a concert from the Louis Armstrong All Stars. It was located in: La Bussola-Focette in Italy. The concert was on thursday, may 7 th 1959. It is featuring two of my biggest idols in Jazz. Louis Armstrong and Trummy Young. Of course Louis Armstrong! I'm afraid I can't tell you anymore news about him. And then Trummy Young whom I've seen just once in person. An experience I will never forget! I could write a lot more about Trummy. But not all at once! Louis Armstrong All Stars -- Tiger Rag Louis Armstrong Trummy Young Peanuts ... |

Lielian Tan makes her debut in the Hague Jazzclubs, she and the audience hope she will return often. The Clarinet is played by the Invisible Man (almost), don't confuse him with the Invincible Man, or would they be the same person......? Koos Greven plays the banjo steady as a rock. Our human metronome is much inspired by Freddy Green, of Count Basie fame. Michel Muller is the front lead man on his trumpet. The tune was composed and first recorded on August 17, 1917 by the Original Dixieland Jass Band for Aeolian-Vocalion Records. The Aeolian Vocalion sides did not sell well, as they were recorded in a vertical format becoming obsolete at the time which could not be played successfully on most contemporary phonographs. Their second recording of the tune on 25 March, 1918 for Victor Records, on the other hand, was a smash national hit. The song was copyrighted and credited to ODJB members Nick La Rocca, Eddie Edwards, Henry Ragas, Tony Sbarbaro, and Larry Shields, along with Harry Da Costa. However, other New Orleans, Louisiana musicians claimed that the tune had been a standard in the city even before. Some others even copyrighted the same melody or ... |

~ Mills Brothers--How 'm I Doin',Hey-Hey
Views: 10187 |  |  |  |  | An astonishing vocal group that grew into one of the longest-lasting oldies acts in American popular music, the Mills Brothers quickly moved from novelty wonders to pop successes and continued amazing audiences for decades. Originally billed as "Four Boys ...More and a Guitar," the group's early records came complete with a note assuring listeners that the only musical instrument they were hearing was a guitar. The caution was understandable, since the Mills Brothers were so proficient at recreating trumpets, trombones, and saxophones with only their voices that early singles like "Tiger Rag" and "St. Louis Blues" sounded closer to a hot Dixieland combo than a vocal group. And even after the novelty wore off, the group's intricate harmonies continued charming audiences for decades. The four brothers were all born in Piqua, Ohio -- John, Jr. in 1910, Herbert in 1912, Harry in 1913, and Donald in 1915. Their father owned a barber shop and founded a barbershop quartet as well, called the Four Kings of Harmony. His sons obviously learned their close harmonies first-hand, and began performing around the area. At one show, Harry Mills forgot his kazoo -- the group's usual accompaniment -- and ended up trying to emulate the instrument by cupping his hand over his mouth. The brothers were surprised to hear the sound of a trumpet proceeding from Harry's mouth, so they began to work the novelty into their act, with John taking tuba, Donald trombone, and Herbert a second trumpet. The act ... |
