All points are illustrated with musical examples, and the set is completed by some very special guest appearances from Robben Ford, Anita Baker, Al Jarreau and Miles Davis. There are some great stories intertwined on the DVD, caveats of his career, interviews, and some wonderful footage of him playing with different artists as well as historical video clips of some of the musicians that have influenced him
Louis Armstrong
Armstrong's health began to fail him and he was hospitalized several times over the remaining three years of his life, but he continued playing and recording. In 1922 Louis received a telegram from his mentor Joe Oliver, asking him to join his Creole Jazz Band at Lincoln Gardens (459 East 31st Street) in Chicago
Hampton ranks among the great names in jazz history, having worked with a who's who of jazz musicians, from Benny Goodman and Buddy Rich to Charlie Parker and Quincy Jones. I've had this tape about 30 years and the source is unknown, but someone did a fine job of recording these shows, apparently on a quality acetate machine
I reached Van through arranger Johnny Mandel, and Van was forthcoming on his role in the Chick Webb band and spoke openly about how he and Fitzgerald came to pen the song that made them both famous. 1) Carol Sloane: We'll Meet Again Benny Golson: Best of Teddy Charles: Tentet Young at HeartGrant Stewart: Marc Myers on Video Best Quotes Mindblowers12 Mindblowers11 Mindblowers10 Mindblowers9 Mindblowers8 Mindblowers7 Mindblowers6 Mindblowers5 Mindblowers4 Mindblowers3 Mindblowers2 Mindblowers1 JATP Programs Spring '47 Fall '51 EyeWitness Barry Harris Bill Evans1 Bill Evans2 Bill Evans3 Bill Perkins Charlie Parker1 Charlie Parker2 Charlie Parker3 Dave Brubeck Dizzy Gillespie Don Fagerquist Don Sleet Elvis Presley Frank Foster Frank Sinatra Gil Melle Hammond Organ Harvey Lavine James Brown Jimmy Forrest Joe Maini Lester Young Birth of MTV Newport Jazz Fest

History Of The Blues
Boogie-Woogie style was characterized by a regular bass figure, an ostinato or riff and shifts of level in the left hand, elaborating each chord and trills and decorations in the right hand. Some labels are famous for their rediscovering and remastering of blues rarities such as Arhoolie Records, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings (heir of Folkways Records) and Yazoo Records (Shanachie Records)
Louis Armstrong - Biography
More than 25,000 mourners visited the body of Louis Armstrong as it lay in state and his funeral was televised nationally.* Throughout his life, Louis Armstrong claimed that his birth date was July 4, 1900, but documents found after his death confirmed the actual date to be August 4, 1901. When several sailors stationed in New Orleans became victims of violent crime in the Storyville district, the secretary of the Navy shut the district down, including brothels and clubs

These organizations benefited by the entire proceeds and this created a lot of good will."We became very proud of the State Department for the way they received us and the way they presented us. It happened that the date of such a studio job came to be mentioned on the tape box."1"Jerry Valburn told me in Toronto that he had been advised by Stanley Dance that the Ellington band had returned to our city from their on-going gig in McAfee NJ for just one day, which didn't make any sense to me
Black, Brown, And Beige - The New Yorker
Although his schooling may have afforded him an inner strength, Ellington was a careless student, even in music (where his only grade on record is a D). He led a State Department tour, in 1963, designed to counter the news stories about American racism that were proving so useful to the Communist cause, and Cohen believes its political dividends helped to spur the passage of the 1965 Civil Rights Act
25, and that Duke Ellington will be here to play in the world premiere of his new "Concerto for Modern Dance and Symphony Orchestra" in the San Diego Philharmonic's fourth concert, April 12, in Russ Auditorium. The streets within two blocks of the armory were packed with traffic and the hall itself was filled to overflowing with dancers..." Report, Chester Times 1935-04-23, p.2...
Edward Kennedy Ellington Biography - Childhood, Life And Timeline
Since this piece of work was not well received by the public, as it did not fall into the category of jazz or classical, Ellington did not play this music anywhere else. After Mercer died, the Duke Ellington Orchestra was maintained and carried upon by Paul Ellington, which conducts music in various concert halls around the world
Riverwalk Jazz - Stanford University Libraries
Pianist Dick Hyman and actor Vernel Bagneris join The Jim Cullum Jazz Band for "Drop Me Off in Harlem," Duke Ellington's 1933 homage to the "classy uptown" place where you could always find "the best party in town." Photo credit for Home Page: Cab Calloway, 1937. Cotton Club customers fell in love with his zany antics, but Calloway was also a savvy bandleader; he drew some of the best jazz musicians of the day into his band
Ellington appeared on the cover of Time magazine, and he signed a new contract with Columbia Records, which released Ellington at Newport, the best-selling album of his career. (Some of those musicians returned later.) But the band made a major comeback at the Newport Jazz Festival on July 7, 1956, when they kicked into a version of "Dimuendo and Crescendo in Blue" that found saxophonist Paul Gonsalves taking a long, memorable solo
