** The Return of Joe Bataan, the Boogaloo King
————————————————————

By FRED GOODMANMARCH 4, 2016 Joe Bataan on the keyboards at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in Times Square last month. Jacob Blickenstaff for The New York Times

Joe Bataan was bouncing around behind his keyboard onstage at the B. B. King Blues Club in Times Square, turning to cue his 14-piece band and clearly enjoying himself. It was a good crowd for a Wednesday night, and the dancers were getting after it, so he was mixing in a dose of mambo with his signature doo-wop-tinged Latin soul songs like “Subway Joe” and “Ordinary Guy.” Between numbers he pointed out friends in the crowd, including a man he introduced as “Lindy from the Dragons,” a comrade from Mr. Bataan’s wild days running with New York street gangs in the 1950s.

For Mr. Bataan, 73, the performance last month was both a homecoming and a confirmation. He survived a hard start as a young hustler on the streets of East Harlem to rise to become a leading figure of boogaloo, the fusion of Latin rhythm and soul music that he helped pioneer. When his style of Latin soul was eventually supplanted — first by salsa, then by disco and rap — he vanished for years.

Now a style of music once relegated to uptown clubs is enjoying a resurgence. The most visible proof: “We Like It Like That,” (http://www.latinboogaloo.com/) a documentary on Latin boogaloo in New York City, after a successful run at film festivals is now heading to streaming services. And after years off the stage, Mr. Bataan has emerged as the face of a rediscovered scene and a barrio legend.

Joe Bataan, 73, grew up in Spanish Harlem, where as a teenager he fell into trouble, spending five years in prison for stealing a car. Growing up there, he said, “Life was very Machiavellian.” James Estrin/The New York Times

“Everybody is calling me now because of ‘We Like It Like That,’” Mr. Bataan said before the show. “When the guy came to me to do the movie I said, ‘Don’t edit me.’ And he did tell the truth.” Mr. Bataan grinned. “I made sure I was all over that movie.”

The brief but ecstatic reign of boogaloo in New York’s dance clubs still vibrates in the music of the era: the irrepressible groove of songs like Joe Cuba’s “Bang Bang,” Pete Rodriguez’s “I Like It Like That” and Joe Bataan’s funky remake of the Impressions’ “Gypsy Woman” captures the convulsions of the ’60s as Latino youth sought an identity.

The great paradox of Mr. Bataan’s career as an originator of Latin soul is that he isn’t Latino. A self-described mestizo — his mother was African-American, his father Filipino — he was born Bataan Nitollano in 1942 and raised on East 104th Street in Spanish Harlem. His family spoke English at home, but as a boy he was drawn to the language and culture of his neighborhood, and he dived in and found a place for himself. “When I look back, I think, ‘Gee, I really had a lot of nerve.’”

Nervy would not begin to describe Mr. Bataan as a teenager. He ran track in junior high school and dreamed of attending Howard University, but he also joined a street gang, the Dragons.

“Life was very Machiavellian,” he said. “It was very much the survival of the fittest. The only way to get out of our environment was through entertainment, athletics or to be a small-time gangster.”

By the time he was 15, Joe was the leader of the Dragons, had a pregnant 13-year-old girlfriend and was on his way to the new juvenile detention center in Hunts Point. When he was 18, he was sent upstate to the Coxsackie Correctional Facility for stealing a car. He stood in court with a rosary in his hand, stunned when the judge gave him five years. “I thought I couldn’t do it,” Mr. Bataan said.

Upon his release, he was unsure of his next move. But his path became clear when he dropped by a band rehearsal to see a couple of friends he used to sing doo-wop with. The band’s leaders didn’t want the neighborhood tough hanging around and asked him to leave. Incensed, Mr. Bataan vowed to start his own band. “Of course,” he said, “I knew nothing about Latin music and couldn’t even dance the mambo. We didn’t have a piano. My mother washed laundry for a neighbor, Mrs. Katz.”

Instead, Mr. Bataan found a pair of pianos on East 106th Street, one in a junior high school and one in a church basement. Through trial and error, he stumbled onto triads, later reading up on progressions and learning the importance of the clave, the five-beat pattern that provides the foundation for a range of Afro-Cuban styles including the mambo and the cha-cha.

Armed with both newfound knowledge and a reputation, Mr. Bataan commandeered an existing band of high school musicians, declaring himself the new leader of Joe Bataan and the Latin Swingers.

What Mr. Bataan lacked in formal training, he made up for in passion, ideas and ambition. “I had an aggressiveness and sense of survival I never would have had if I’d grown up anywhere else,” he said.

To build a following and hustle up gigs, the band played in the subway and at Orchard Beach in the Bronx, combining soul music, doo-wop harmonies and Latin grooves. It was a two-trombone Latin band in the vein of Eddie Palmieri, but with a soul singer more influenced by Smokey Robinson and Frankie Lymon.

They became regulars on a local circuit of uptown and Bronx clubs like the Hunts Point Palace, attracting recording offers from several labels before signing in 1967 with the fledging Fania Records. The scene was initially very local: “Gypsy Woman” broke on New York’s WWRL in part because friends of the band and family members pounded local radio request lines.

“Suddenly I was a household name in the barrio,” Mr. Bataan said. “Everyone knew me, everyone came out when we played. It wasn’t just the success of ‘Gypsy Woman,’ but the fact that the band was made up of neighborhood kids and everyone who knew them from school came. Within three years we outsold everyone, including Tito Puente and Eddie Palmieri. It wasn’t just boogaloo: We were singing what’s happening on the street.”

“To me, Joe Bataan is the king of Latin soul,” said Andres Padua, a D.J. for the online radio site Salsa Warriors. “He can play doo-wop, R&B, Latin or tropical, and that’s what makes his music so intriguing. Plus the guy has 1,000 hats. He’s a singer, arranger, writer, bandleader, producer, pianist and an entrepreneur. He’s incredible.”

Fania, which would reign for several decades as the pre-eminent Latin record company, eventually became closely associated with salsa, a more sophisticated style that eclipsed boogaloo in popularity. Despite Mr. Bataan’s frequent complaints that he wasn’t being paid fairly, he recorded eight albums for the label.

His third album, “Riot!,” is credited as the biggest-selling Latin album of 1968, according to Fania Records. It prefigured the turf war between boogaloo and salsa, a rivalry driven in part by stylistic differences but also by the fact that boogaloo musicians were younger and willing to work for less money.

By 1973, Mr. Bataan had moved on from Fania, but he kept his ears to the street . He was just as likely to be found at the Fillmore East checking out the Who and, later, at discos like Paradise Garage where he chatted up D.J.s like Larry Levan.

After leaving Fania, Mr. Bataan produced his own album, “Salsoul,” for Mericana Records. The name Salsoul (Mr. Bataan says he coined the term to suggest the marriage of salsa and soul ) was then given to a new label that Mr. Bataan — its first artist — says he pitched to Mericana’s owners.

Mr. Bataan, who helped guide Salsoul into the disco era, stumbled onto the rap scene in the late 1970s and wound up recording one of its first hits, “Rap-O Clap-O.” But any money he made was lost to a gambling habit. Mr. Bataan bottomed out. “I sold my car,” he said. “I got evicted.”

By the early 1980s, Mr. Bataan was out of the music business. After six months as a machine operator in the garment district, he landed a job as a counselor at the Bridges Juvenile Center in the Bronx, the notorious detention center also known as Spofford — where he was sent when he was 15. For Mr. Bataan, it was a chance to set things right, to help move young people off a path he knew too well.

“When I projected my story, it made a difference,” he said.

He rose to supervisor and became active in union affairs, serving as vice president. “Having a civil service job and being in a union, I was able to make a family for 25 years and sort of be happy,” he said. “I wasn’t interested in music.” But that would change.

In 1994, Mr. Bataan was invited to perform at a benefit concert at Hostos Community College in the Bronx. “Everybody was there,” he said.

He found himself backstage with Tito Puente, and Mr. Bataan couldn’t help expressing surprise that people still wanted to hear him. He recalled the conversation with Mr. Puente: “He said, ‘Joe, you never left. You’ve always been here.’ ”

It was enough to get Mr. Bataan back in the studio. In 1997, he released “Last Album, Last Song” on his own label, Bataan Music. Three more followed, which would be put out by a Spanish imprint. Mr. Bataan is now touring and playing full time. He quit his day job at Spofford in 2010, and the center shut down a year later.

“I was a street singer,” Mr. Bataan said before the show in Times Square. “The neighborhood guy who said, ‘I can do that.’ And that’s what ultimately endeared me: I was like everyone else.”

** John Chilton, Jazz Musician and Historian, Dies at 83
————————————————————
By PETER KEEPNEWSMARCH 3, 2016 John Chilton, a trumpet and fluegelhorn player, was active for almost 50 years on the British traditional-jazz scene, most notably as the leader of the Feetwarmers, the backing band for the vocalist George Melly.

John Chilton, an acclaimed jazz historian and one of the few jazz writers to have a successful parallel career as a musician, died on Feb. 25 in London. He was 83.

The cause was pneumonia, said his son Martin, who added that his father also had Parkinson’s disease.

A trumpet and fluegelhorn player, Mr. Chilton was active for almost 50 years on the British traditional-jazz scene, most notably as the leader of the Feetwarmers, the backing band for the eccentric vocalist George Melly (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/06/arts/music/06melly.html) . Mr. Chilton worked throughout Britain with Mr. Melly from 1974 until Mr. Melly’s death in 2007.

But Mr. Chilton was better known as the writer of jazz biographies, including what are widely considered the definitive works on two of the music’s seminal saxophonists: “Sidney Bechet: The Wizard of Jazz” (1987) and “The Song of the Hawk: The Life and Recordings of Coleman Hawkins” (1990). Among his other books were “Billie’s Blues: A Survey of Billie Holiday’s Career, 1933-1959” (1975) and “Who’s Who of Jazz: Storyville to Swing Street” (1970, revised and expanded in 1989).

He published a memoir, “Hot Jazz, Warm Feet,” in 2007.

Mr. Chilton shared a 1982 Grammy Award (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/g/grammy_awards/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier) with Richard M. Sudhalter for their notes for an anthology of the trumpeter Bunny Berigan’s work. He was named jazz writer of the year at the 2000 British Jazz Awards.

John James Chilton was born in London on July 16, 1932, to Thomas Chilton, a music hall performer, and the former Eileen Burke. He began studying the cornet at age 12, became interested in jazz shortly after that, and formed his first band as a teenager.

After serving in the Royal Air Force, he worked briefly for The Daily Telegraph as an assistant to the editor before leaving to pursue a career in music. He began writing about jazz in the late 1960s, while continuing to work as the leader of his own band, the Swing Kings.

In addition to his son Martin, he is survived by another son, Barney; a daughter, Jenny Chilton-Higgins; and six grandchildren. His wife, the former Teresa Kendall, died in 2014.

Do vinyl LPs wear out? The Audiophiliac takes on that myth – CNET

** Do vinyl LPs wear out? The Audiophiliac takes on that myth
————————————————————

By Steve Guttenberg (http://www.cnet.com/profiles/theaudiophiliac/)

I still own and enjoy LPs I bought decades ago, and even ones I’ve played hundreds of times still sound perfectly fine. I’ll go further back, to original pressings of 50-plus-year-old Beatles and Rolling Stones LPs that have survived many hundreds of plays, and they also still sound great. I’m not claiming they’re 100 percent noise-free, but they weren’t dead quiet when they were brand spanking new.
2110180aa.jpg Steve Guttenberg/CNET

Record noise — occasional clicks and pops – are part of the sound of vinyl, but with an LP played on an audiophile-grade turntable those noises recede into the background. They really do.

You don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a decent turntable to enjoy LPs — the Audio Technica AT LP60 (http://www.cnet.com/news/why-audiophiles-love-lps-buy-this-super-cheap-turntable/) would be a great place to start.

Some of those noise is caused by dust and dirt lurking in the LP grooves, so a quick bath and rinse in distilled water can reduce the noise level to a degree. I don’t use a fancy record cleaning machine or expensive liquid cleaners. When I need to clean a record, I do it by hand with distilled water to wash away dust and other crud. I described my disc-washing method (http://www.cnet.com/news/how-to-make-lps-sound-better-for-almost-no-money/) in a previous blog.

A microscopic view of LP grooves
Alex DeTurk

It’s no secret that LPs are delicate and can be easily scratched and damaged, but I’ve always taken good care of my records. “Good care” means I never left naked LPs sitting on the floor or handled them with dirty hands, and I always put them back in their sleeves after playing them. Those are hardly heroic measures, but they allowed me to assure that my many thousands of LPs are still reasonably quiet.

As for wear-induced noise, most of that comes from playing records with a worn-out or damaged stylus (aka needle) that’s literally gouging the grooves with each play. Any decent cartridge will play records without damaging the groove. Just make sure the stylus tracking force is set to the cartridge manufacturer’s recommendation. A force setting that’s too high or too low can accelerate record wear and noise.

I still think that LP noise and wear are over-hyped, because even when I listen at home with high-resolution speakers that are much clearer than what most people have, record wear and noises are minimal. As always, I’d love to hear feedback from readers: what’s your experience with record wear? Share your thoughts in the Comments section.

Record noise — occasional clicks and pops – are part of the sound of vinyl, but with an LP played on an audiophile-grade turntable those noises recede into the background. They really do.

You don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a decent turntable to enjoy LPs — the Audio Technica AT LP60 (http://www.cnet.com/news/why-audiophiles-love-lps-buy-this-super-cheap-turntable/) would be a great place to start.

Some of those noise is caused by dust and dirt lurking in the LP grooves, so a quick bath and rinse in distilled water can reduce the noise level to a degree. I don’t use a fancy record cleaning machine or expensive liquid cleaners. When I need to clean a record, I do it by hand with distilled water to wash away dust and other crud. I described my disc-washing method (http://www.cnet.com/news/how-to-make-lps-sound-better-for-almost-no-money/) in a previous blog.

A microscopic view of LP grooves
Alex DeTurk

It’s no secret that LPs are delicate and can be easily scratched and damaged, but I’ve always taken good care of my records. “Good care” means I never left naked LPs sitting on the floor or handled them with dirty hands, and I always put them back in their sleeves after playing them. Those are hardly heroic measures, but they allowed me to assure that my many thousands of LPs are still reasonably quiet.

As for wear-induced noise, most of that comes from playing records with a worn-out or damaged stylus (aka needle) that’s literally gouging the grooves with each play. Any decent cartridge will play records without damaging the groove. Just make sure the stylus tracking force is set to the cartridge manufacturer’s recommendation. A force setting that’s too high or too low can accelerate record wear and noise.

I still think that LP noise and wear are over-hyped, because even when I listen at home with high-resolution speakers that are much clearer than what most people have, record wear and noises are minimal. As always, I’d love to hear feedback from readers: what’s your experience with record wear? Share your thoughts in the Comments section.

Do vinyl LPs wear out? The Audiophiliac takes on that myth – CNET

** Do vinyl LPs wear out? The Audiophiliac takes on that myth
————————————————————

By Steve Guttenberg (http://www.cnet.com/profiles/theaudiophiliac/)

I still own and enjoy LPs I bought decades ago, and even ones I’ve played hundreds of times still sound perfectly fine. I’ll go further back, to original pressings of 50-plus-year-old Beatles and Rolling Stones LPs that have survived many hundreds of plays, and they also still sound great. I’m not claiming they’re 100 percent noise-free, but they weren’t dead quiet when they were brand spanking new.

Hey, Who knew? Count Basie, Red Bank’s king of jazz

** Hey, Who knew? Count Basie, Red Bank’s king of jazz
————————————————————

Tamara Walker @twilderapp7:47 a.m. EST February 28, 2016

How much do you really know about the jazz legend? APP STAFF VIDEO/RYAN ROSS Ryan Ross

** Editor’s Note: “Hey, who knew?” looks at the Jersey Shore’s unique history from the Asbury Park Press archive. As part of our contribution to Black History month, we look back at one of Red Bank’s most famous residents.
————————————————————

RED BANK – Before the town on the southern bank of the Navesink River was the place to be on Friday nights, it was known for songs like “Red Bank Boogie” and “The Kid from Red Bank.” The “kid” behind those tunes was born William James Basie.

His songs were part of the new rhythm that roared into the 1920s — jazz.

He had flappers tapping their toes and snapping their fingers to ditties that rattled their bones. Words like “cool” and “hip” were used to describe musicians and fans shimmying to the sound. And in smoky rooms filled with good times, Basie was honing his craft.

He would become “Count” Basie as part of his ascent to legend.

You may recognize the name as a theater, but Count Basie was a man. Ya, dig?

** Who was Count Basie and how did he get that name?
————————————————————

Born on Aug. 21, 1904, Basie’s family lived on Mechanic Street. He attended Red Bank Borough Public Schools. In archive Asbury Park Press stories, his father was said to be a gardener and building supervisor, and his mother laundered clothes and linens. Basie was the oldest of two boys, but his brother died as an infant.

Humble beginnings wouldn’t limit his family. With his feet barely touching the foot pedals, Basie began taking piano lessons at the age of five for a fee of 25 cents.

He dreamed of becoming a performer.

An archive story also states (http://app.newspapers.com/image/145997647/?terms=William%2BCount%2BBasie) that at 17 years old Basie left his home for Harlem to pursue a dream of stardom. He found himself in the right place at the right time in meeting pianist Fats Waller. Basie joined Waller’s act and toured the vaudeville circuit across the U.S.

After Prohibition hit, many musicians had to play in the underground world of illegal bars and clubs. Basie continued to master his big-band jazz sound playing these venues night after night. He also joined two rival bands: In 1927, Walter Page’s Blue Devils and in 1928, the Bennie Moten Orchestra.

Basie saw many changes as he progressed, including his name. There are varying accounts of how “Bill” got the nickname “Count.”

One story stated Basie would disappear during arranging sessions for the Moten Orchestra to go have fun, resulting in Bennie Moten declaring him the “no count” — as in “no good” — rascal (http://http//www.countbasietheatre.org/about/williambio.asp) . (http://www.countbasietheatre.org/about/williambio.asp)

Another story from the Asbury Park Press attributed the name change to a spontaneous moment ahead of a radio performance.

The story goes that while waiting to play a live radio show at The Reno Club in Kansas City (http://http//app.newspapers.com/image/143666586/?terms=William%2BCount%2BBasie) , the radio host recounted several standout artists’ names of the period like Duke Ellington, the Baron of Lee, the Earl of Hines and spontaneously dubbed Basie’s group the Count with his Barons of Rhythm.

By 1935, Count Basie and his Barons of Rhythm, could be heard all over the airwaves, but the name soon changed to the one the world would forever know — Count Basie Orchestra.

Signing with Decca Record in 1937, his band produced music known for its distinct sound. In 1939, the band left the label and signed with Columbia Records. Selling millions of records, the music he created would define the jazz and swing sounds into the 1940s.

** Coming Back to Red Bank
————————————————————

Count Basie always came home for shows (http://app.newspapers.com/image/143353962/?terms=count%2B%2Bbasie) and more importantly, benefit performances. Described as a man of his word, Basie would commit to a gig — big or small — if it helped his hometown. Before his passing Hollywood, Florida in 1984 from cancer, organizations recognized him for his outstanding community service and achievements in the music industry.

His contributions stretched far beyond Red Bank, and his hometown has paid homage to him because of them:

In 1974, Count Basie received an honorary degree (http://app.newspapers.com/image/145839134/?terms=Count%2BBasie%2BScholarship) of Doctor of Music from Monmouth College — known today as Monmouth University. Shrewsbury A.M.E. Zion Church, where his family worshiped when he was a child, also honored him with a plaque for his contributions to the Christian fellowship.

The same year he died the Monmouth Arts Center was renamed Count Basie Theater for his lifetime career achievement as a king of jazz music.

Several organizations also have been named in honor of his legacy: Count Basie Learning Center, Count Basie Foundation, and Count Basie Scholarship Fund.

** Did you know?
————————————————————

His band was the first African-American big band to play at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Count Basie made history in 1958 as the first African-American man to receive a Grammy. He earned nine Grammy Awards over the course of his career. Four of his songs were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame: “One O’Clock Jump” in 1979 “April in Paris” in 1985 and “Everyday I have the Blues” in 1992 and “Lester Leaps” in 2005. Count Basie also recorded with many influential artists including Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr., Jackie Wilson and even Quincy Jones.

** True or False:
————————————————————

1) Count Basie performed for England’s Prince Charles for his second birthday.

2) Count Basie Day is celebrated on June 26th in Red Bank.

3) A community park on Henry Street in Red Bank bears Count Basie’s name.

How much do you really know about the jazz legend? APP STAFF VIDEO/RYAN ROSS Ryan Ross

** Editor’s Note: “Hey, who knew?” looks at the Jersey Shore’s unique history from the Asbury Park Press archive. As part of our contribution to Black History month, we look back at one of Red Bank’s most famous residents.
————————————————————

RED BANK – Before the town on the southern bank of the Navesink River was the place to be on Friday nights, it was known for songs like “Red Bank Boogie” and “The Kid from Red Bank.” The “kid” behind those tunes was born William James Basie.

His songs were part of the new rhythm that roared into the 1920s — jazz.

He had flappers tapping their toes and snapping their fingers to ditties that rattled their bones. Words like “cool” and “hip” were used to describe musicians and fans shimmying to the sound. And in smoky rooms filled with good times, Basie was honing his craft.

He would become “Count” Basie as part of his ascent to legend.

You may recognize the name as a theater, but Count Basie was a man. Ya, dig?

** Who was Count Basie and how did he get that name?
————————————————————

Born on Aug. 21, 1904, Basie’s family lived on Mechanic Street. He attended Red Bank Borough Public Schools. In archive Asbury Park Press stories, his father was said to be a gardener and building supervisor, and his mother laundered clothes and linens. Basie was the oldest of two boys, but his brother died as an infant.

Humble beginnings wouldn’t limit his family. With his feet barely touching the foot pedals, Basie began taking piano lessons at the age of five for a fee of 25 cents.

He dreamed of becoming a performer.

An archive story also states (http://app.newspapers.com/image/145997647/?terms=William%2BCount%2BBasie) that at 17 years old Basie left his home for Harlem to pursue a dream of stardom. He found himself in the right place at the right time in meeting pianist Fats Waller. Basie joined Waller’s act and toured the vaudeville circuit across the U.S.

After Prohibition hit, many musicians had to play in the underground world of illegal bars and clubs. Basie continued to master his big-band jazz sound playing these venues night after night. He also joined two rival bands: In 1927, Walter Page’s Blue Devils and in 1928, the Bennie Moten Orchestra.

Basie saw many changes as he progressed, including his name. There are varying accounts of how “Bill” got the nickname “Count.”

One story stated Basie would disappear during arranging sessions for the Moten Orchestra to go have fun, resulting in Bennie Moten declaring him the “no count” — as in “no good” — rascal (http://http//www.countbasietheatre.org/about/williambio.asp) . (http://www.countbasietheatre.org/about/williambio.asp)

Another story from the Asbury Park Press attributed the name change to a spontaneous moment ahead of a radio performance.

The story goes that while waiting to play a live radio show at The Reno Club in Kansas City (http://http//app.newspapers.com/image/143666586/?terms=William%2BCount%2BBasie) , the radio host recounted several standout artists’ names of the period like Duke Ellington, the Baron of Lee, the Earl of Hines and spontaneously dubbed Basie’s group the Count with his Barons of Rhythm.

By 1935, Count Basie and his Barons of Rhythm, could be heard all over the airwaves, but the name soon changed to the one the world would forever know — Count Basie Orchestra.

Signing with Decca Record in 1937, his band produced music known for its distinct sound. In 1939, the band left the label and signed with Columbia Records. Selling millions of records, the music he created would define the jazz and swing sounds into the 1940s.

** Coming Back to Red Bank
————————————————————

Count Basie always came home for shows (http://app.newspapers.com/image/143353962/?terms=count%2B%2Bbasie) and more importantly, benefit performances. Described as a man of his word, Basie would commit to a gig — big or small — if it helped his hometown. Before his passing Hollywood, Florida in 1984 from cancer, organizations recognized him for his outstanding community service and achievements in the music industry.

His contributions stretched far beyond Red Bank, and his hometown has paid homage to him because of them:

In 1974, Count Basie received an honorary degree (http://app.newspapers.com/image/145839134/?terms=Count%2BBasie%2BScholarship) of Doctor of Music from Monmouth College — known today as Monmouth University. Shrewsbury A.M.E. Zion Church, where his family worshiped when he was a child, also honored him with a plaque for his contributions to the Christian fellowship.

The same year he died the Monmouth Arts Center was renamed Count Basie Theater for his lifetime career achievement as a king of jazz music.

Several organizations also have been named in honor of his legacy: Count Basie Learning Center, Count Basie Foundation, and Count Basie Scholarship Fund.

** Did you know?
————————————————————

His band was the first African-American big band to play at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Count Basie made history in 1958 as the first African-American man to receive a Grammy. He earned nine Grammy Awards over the course of his career. Four of his songs were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame: “One O’Clock Jump” in 1979 “April in Paris” in 1985 and “Everyday I have the Blues” in 1992 and “Lester Leaps” in 2005. Count Basie also recorded with many influential artists including Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr., Jackie Wilson and even Quincy Jones.

** True or False:
————————————————————

1) Count Basie performed for England’s Prince Charles for his second birthday.

2) Count Basie Day is celebrated on June 26th in Red Bank.

3) A community park on Henry Street in Red Bank bears Count Basie’s name.

** Listen to the 1st jazz recordings ever, which were made 99 years ago today
————————————————————

On Feb. 26, 1917, Nick LaRocca, Henry Ragas and the rest of the Original Dixieland Jass Band stepped into a recording studio in New York City. Now, 99 years ago, what the band recorded that day is considered by many to be the first ever recordings of jazz music.

However it happened, though, the sound forever changed the way people understand — and hear — New Orleans.

The group performed and recorded two tracks: “Dixie Jass Band One-Step” and “Livery Stable Blues.” The pair of songs were released a few weeks later for the Victor Talking Machine Company, and as an unexpected surprise for the recording company, became an instant hit. Victor sold more than a million copies of the 78s, which fans could pick up for 75 cents at the time.

LaRocca, the The Original Dixieland Jass Band leader, wrote other songs that have since become jazz standards, like “Clarinet Marmalade” and “Tiger Rag.” The band’s popularity helped them travel to Europe and around the country, but eventually they broke up in the years after World War I and LaRocca moved home to New Orleans.

** Listen to the 1st jazz recordings ever, which were made 99 years ago today
————————————————————

On Feb. 26, 1917, Nick LaRocca, Henry Ragas and the rest of the Original Dixieland Jass Band stepped into a recording studio in New York City. Now, 99 years ago, what the band recorded that day is considered by many to be the first ever recordings of jazz music.

However it happened, though, the sound forever changed the way people understand — and hear — New Orleans.

The group performed and recorded two tracks: “Dixie Jass Band One-Step” and “Livery Stable Blues.” The pair of songs were released a few weeks later for the Victor Talking Machine Company, and as an unexpected surprise for the recording company, became an instant hit. Victor sold more than a million copies of the 78s, which fans could pick up for 75 cents at the time.

LaRocca, the The Original Dixieland Jass Band leader, wrote other songs that have since become jazz standards, like “Clarinet Marmalade” and “Tiger Rag.” The band’s popularity helped them travel to Europe and around the country, but eventually they broke up in the years after World War I and LaRocca moved home to New Orleans.

Listen to the original recordings below.

————————————————————

February 25, 2016

http://www.jazzedmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/Edmund-Henderson-1455012146_span3.pngSaxophonist Edmund “Leon” Henderson, an important presence on the Detroit jazz scene in the 1960s and the youngest brother of tenor titan Joe Henderson, died of natural causes on the evening of Feb. 4-5. He was 75. He is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the 1969 Blue Note LP Introducing Kenny Cox and the Contemporary Jazz Quintet. Two of his compositions, “Diahnn” and “Eclipse,” were included on that recording. One other tune from the LP made it onto Blue Note’s recent benefit project Detroit Jazz City.

Fats Domino was one of the most popular rockers of the 1950s and early 60s. His achievements and record sales during that time were rivaled only by Elvis Presley. With his boogie-woogie piano playing rooted in blues, rhythm & blues, and jazz, he became one of the inventors of rock ‘n’ roll.

Fats Domino was one of the most popular rockers of the 1950s and early 60s. His achievements and record sales during that time were rivaled only by Elvis Presley. With his boogie-woogie piano playing rooted in blues, rhythm & blues, and jazz, he became one of the inventors of rock ‘n’ roll.

A snippet of Bob Dorough singing “Three Is a Magic Number” is included, along with other worthy performances. It may be viewed here:

Original broadcast date: January 21, 2016; Episode 4, segment 4

2. “Salute to Phil Woods” (9 minutes), reverently presented by long-time WVIA television and radio personality George Graham.

25 FEBRUARY 2016 • 4:43PM
John Chilton (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/ella-fitzgerald-one-of-the-greatest-singers-of-all/) , the Grammy-winning jazz writer who was also George Melly’s musical partner for nearly four decades, died on 25 February, aged 83, following a brief illness.
Melly was one of Britain’s greatest jazz stars and Chilton and his band, The Feetwarmers, were the resident Christmas act at Ronnie Scott’s club in Soho for more than 30 years. They also had their own prime-time BBC series called Good Time George.
Chilton is also known as a writer and won a Grammy Award in 1983 for his album notes on Bunny Berigan (along with Richard M Sudhalter). Chilton was runner-up for a further Grammy in 2000 for his work on Lester Young. In the same year he won the British Jazz Award for ‘Writer of the Year’.

His Who’s Who of Jazz was described by the poet Philip Larkin as “one of the essential jazz books”, and Chilton’s biographies of Coleman Hawkins and Louis Jordan both won the prestigious American Association for Recorded Sound Collections’ Award for historical recorded sound research. For his books on Sidney Bechet and Louis Armstrong, he was awarded the freedom of New Orleans by the mayor of the city.
John Chilton was awarded the Freedom of New Orleans for his jazz writing John Chilton was awarded the Freedom of New Orleans for his jazz writing

Chilton was also a songwriter and composer and one of his songs, Give Her a Little Drop More, was used in the 1985 film St Elmo’s Fire, where it was sung by some of the Hollywood Brat Pack, including Demi Moore and Rob Lowe.

Chilton was born in London on 16 July 1932 (his father was a music hall comedian and tap-dancer) and after doing national service in the RAF (1950–1952) he formed his own jazz band, playing at Butlins in Skegness with a troupe that included comedian Dave Allen. He also worked for the Daily Telegraph in the late Fifties, as an assistant to the editor.
He worked in Bruce Turner’s Jump Band from 1958-1963. A movie of their exploits called Living Jazz was made in 1961 by director Jack Gold, who went on to make The Naked Civil Servant. Chilton later appeared in Alex Welsh’s Big Band. He played piano on some pop recordings in the Sixties, and was publicity manager for The Swinging Blue Jeans during their Hippie Hippie Shake days. Chilton also recorded The Song of a Road, one of the radio ballads of folk singers Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger for the BBC.
In the late Sixties he played for Mike Daniels’ Big Band before forming his own Swing Kings band, which backed some leading American jazz men who toured Britain, including Buck Clayton, Ben Webster, Bill Coleman and Charlie Shavers.

He later worked with Wally Fawkes, also known as the cartoonist ‘Trog’, and in January 1974 formed The Feetwarmers, who began accompanying singer and writer Melly full time. Together they made a dozen records and toured the world. In 1983 and 1984 they had their own BBC television series called Good Time George, named after the signature tune Chilton wrote for Melly. They appeared on countless other TV shows, including Pebble Mill at One, Wogan, Parkinson, The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club, Aspel and This Is Your Life.
Chilton, who suffered from Parkinson’s disease in his later years, continued to play trumpet with the clarinetist Fawkes in London following Melly’s death in 2007. Chilton also played occasional guest spots, including with Kenny Davern.
