I'm Following You - Ben Pollack Orchestra
|
 On Thursday the 13th of March, 1930, on the day that Clyde Tombaugh announced that he had found a new planet, later named Pluto, the fifth regular weekly Hit of the Week record was released. It seems that, around this date, the records were also "exported" to other major cities in the country. |

|
Like David Livingstone in the nineteenth century discovered the inland of dark Africa, Ziya Ertekin, aka Blue Flamingo, introduces us to still undiscovered treasures of long gone times on vulnerable 78-rpm records. In his latest mix, Congo Jazz, he tells about the popularity of Cuban music in the centre of Africa, jungle music as critics called it years ago and about the birth of gospel music thanks to Tommy A. Dorsey. | |||

|
When young Oscar was left alone as an
urchin to his own survival in the streets of Santos, Brazil after his
family had broken up - his father and mother had died following tragic
circumstances and his siblings had rejected him as their equal for unknown
reasons and were taken to an orphanage, - he had to find a way to survive
from day to day like countless other homeless children at the time.

Vincent Herring speelt in Porgy en Bess
|
Ik was verrast om te ontdekken dat Vincent Herring's geluid op de alt heel veel leek op dat van Cannonball Adderley en toen ik hem zag spelen op zijn altsaxofoon, zag ik Charlie Parker voor me zoals ons die in zeldzame bewegende beelden is nagelaten en op de paar momenten dat Vincent de tenor vasthield, leek hij af en toe als twee druppels water op John Coltrane; redenen te over om een psychiater te raadplegen, ware het niet dat ik dit ook van anderen hoorde.

Congo Jazz: Een muzikale expeditie (Friday: Congo Jazz: a musical expedition) |
Zoals David Livingstone in de negentiende eeuw de witte vlekken van donker Afrika beschreef, zo brengt Ziya Ertekin, alias Blue Flamingo, ons in aanraking met onbekende juweeltjes uit onontgonnen tijden - ooit vastgelegd op breekbare 78-toerenplaten. In zijn laatste mix, Congo Jazz, vertelt hij over de populariteit van Cubaanse muziek in midden Afrika, over "oerwoudmuziek", zoals de critici vroeger de Jungle music omschreven en de geboorte van de gospelmuziek dankzij Tommy A. Dorsey. Je vindt het allemaal bij elkaar in de mix Congo Jazz. | |||

Charquet et Co: Live Recording Gentbrugge (Belgium) 1976.
|
If you grew up in the 1970s and you
didn't hear about the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, you might have been a
fan of the music of Charquet. These French boys toured along Dutch and
Belgian venues and all venues were jam packed! The 1976 Gentbrugge concert was released in 1988. |

Charquet & Co.: Optreden in Gentbrugge - 1976
|
Als je bent opgegroeid in de jaren
zeventig en je moest niets hebben van de muziek van The Beatles of The
Stones dan zou het zomaar kunnen zijn dat je de muziek van Charquet
helemaal te gek vond ....... Deze maffe Franse jongens speelden elke zaal
plat in Nederland en België. Het optreden in Gentbrugge ( juni 1976) werd pas in 1988 uitgebracht |

Rein de Graaff ontmoet Conte Candoli en Bob Cooper
|
Rein De Graaff, geboren in Groningen
in oktober 1942, is tamelijk onbekend gebleven buiten ons land en dat is
onterecht. Hij leidde eigen groepen vanaf eind jaren vijftig. Zijn Rein de
Graaff trio, met Eric Ineke op slagwerk en Koos Serierse op bas ( de
afgelopen tien jaar is dat Marius Beets) begon in de jaren tachtig met het
begeleiden van Amerikanen die naar Nederland kwamen in de zgn. Stoomcursus
Bebop .......... Een serie mooie opnamen uit 1993 met twee legendarische muzikanten: Conte Candoli en Bob Cooper. |

Rein De Graaff meets Conte Candoli and Bob Cooper
|
Rein De Graaff, born in Groningen,
The Netherlands, October 1942, is rather unknown outside The Netherlands,
and that is undeserved. He led his own groups since the late 1950s. His
Rein De Graaff trio, featuring Eric Ineke on drums and Koos Serierse on
bass ( for the last decade: Marius Beets) started in the 1980s up to now,
to accompany American musicians visiting Europe for its Stoomcurssusen
Bebop tours ..........
This great new album with dated recordings was released last year ......... |
