All titles on:      Love CD: L 1002 — The Henry Jerome Orchestra 1944-45: The First Big Band To Ever Play Bebop   (2007)

These tracks are described as "live radio air checks." Yes, it is THE Leonard Garment and THE Alan Greenspan who, at this point, were musicians before moving on to bigger and better things. The personnel is incomplete and unverified. Most of the meager information provided seems to come from the book "Swing To Bop" by Ira Gitler (pp. 202-206 & 276-277). It is not known if all the tracks were broadcast from Childs but that is where this band seemed to perform the most. Other musicians that could be present are Ray Turner, Gerry Mulligan, Danny Bank, Gene Roland, Norman Faye, Paul Cohen, Marty Napoleon and Stan Levey. Arrangers were Al Cohn (who sounds like the main tenor saxophone soloist), Johnny Mandel and Bill Vitale who also played lead alto saxophone.

There are actually 11 tracks on this CD although only 10 are listed on the jewel case insert and disc label. Tea For Two is divided into 2 tracks, the second of which (track c) begins with an announcer interrupting the broadcast to inform listeners that Allied troops had landed on Phuket Island, off the coast of what is now Thailand. Based on historical records from World War II (New York Times - thanks to Michael Fitzgerald), this performance then probably took place on Wednesday, July 25, 1945. Track a comes from a New Year's Eve broadcast but the announcer does not give a year. Track k ends with a bit of a theme song under the announcer's closing comments.

Love Records is described as "a division of Henry Jerome Music, Inc." This CD has a copyright date of 1997 but does not seem to have been issued until 2007. With regard to the claim that the Jerome band was the "first big band ever to play bebop," it should be noted that the Billy Eckstine band, with Dizzy Gillespie, Wardell Gray and Oscar Pettiford among many others, was recording for De Luxe as early as April 1944.


Date: December 14 or 15, 1944
Location: Possibly Fox-Movietone Studios, 460 W. 54th St., NY
Label: B.K. Blake Productions

Milt Britton (ldr), Norman Faye (t), Tiny Kahn (d), Suzan Carol (v), Others Unknown (var)

a.   Injun Gal
     B.K. Blake Productions Soundie (Short Film): 19702 — Injun Gal   
b.   Poet and Peasant  (Franz Von Suppe)
     B.K. Blake Productions Soundie (Short Film): 20002 — Poet and Peasant   

Suzan Carol (v) on a.

The information on these soundies was provided by Mark Cantor. The Milt Britton band was a comedy band along the lines of that of Spike Jones. The entire personnel is unidentified but the ensemble was composed of 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, 4 reeds, piano, guitar, bass and drums. Drummer Stan Levey has positively identified Tiny Kahn and trumpeter Norman Faye. A comedian named "Mousie" is featured in both soundies.

Billboard Reviews:
"Injun Gal is a novelty tune featuring Milt Britton and His Band with Suzan Carol handling the vocals. A dead-pan trio rigged out in Indian headdresses and blankets also chants a couple of choruses. Bandstand setting."

"Von Suppe's Poet and Peasant Overture takes an awful beating at the hands of Milt Britton and His Band. The boys start out seriously enough but end up literally tearing the place apart. Bandstand setting."

George Marin (v) on b; Ginny Powell (v) on m.

This broadcast was AFRS One Night Stand No. 1705. The Lord and Bruyninckx Discographies indicate Tiny Kahn as the drummer but the liner notes to Golden Era 15014 list Irv Kluger and not Kahn. According to Tiny Kahn discographer Malcolm Walker, Kahn is the drummer and track l is played only by the rhythm section. Arrangements are by George Handy and Johnny Richards. According to Golden Era 15014, the male vocalist on track b is George Marin but no other references to a singer with that name could be found.

Most sources indicate track f has been issued on Hep CD 22, First Heard LP 8, Golden Era LP 15014 and Hep LP 3 but the Begin the Beguine found on those issues is most likely the V-Disc recording from the following studio session (see comments below).

Track a sounds very much like a studio recording and has no applause or announcements. Despite what all other sources claim, it is my conclusion that this is the version of Begin the Beguine issued on the CD and LPs indicated and not a radio broadcast of the same title from the preceding session. Information on this session comes in part from R.S. Sears, V-Discs: A History and Discography, Greenwood Press, 1980 p. 737.

This track is called So Long Joe on Joyce 3002. The track begins with the ending of another performance which may be So Long Joe before Belvedere Bop commences. This is music from the soundtrack of a Universal-International short film featuring Rich's orchestra in a nightclub setting. This is the only title arranged by Tiny Kahn.

This session was part of the "Eddie Condon's Floor Show" TV series. Condon was the host and sometimes also performed. The Sidney Bechet Society Website indicates this broadcast took place on March 5, 1949 but does not specify the bassist and drummer. It appears that Tiny Kahn was performing with the Chubby Jackson band at the Royal Roost on that date. Many sources only give the date as "occurring between January 1 and September 24, 1949." Another source for some of the information shown is Jazz On the Screen by David Meeker. There is hardly unanimous agreement among sources as to who exactly performs on the titles of this show. What's shown is a best guess.

These performances are taken from a live radio broadcast of "Excursions In Modern Music" on the Mutual Broadcasting System. The announcer is Tom Reddy. The bands of both Barnet and Woody Herman perform separately and then join together on track e. Stan Kenton sits in on piano on this track as well. Only the tracks with the Barnet band are included here. Track e is listed on all issues as "More Moon" but the line first played by the combined ensembles is "Ornithology." The announcer refers to the performance as "How High the Moon." Towards the end of the performance, behind the announcer's closing remarks, the bands play the shout chorus from Shorty Rogers arrangement of "More Moon" but the track then ends prematurely.

The information shown is probably the composite of several live broadcasts of the Barnet Band during August, 1949. Some sources claim that this version of track f is the one issued on Alamac QSR 2446 but the liner notes from that LP indicate that the title was recorded in New York in October, 1949. Raben reports that this version of track e is from AFRS "One Night Stand" transcription no. 1294. Tracks c, d and g come from the Lord Discography.

a.   Cornucopia - 2:43  (Phil Moore) / arr: Paul Villepigue
     Swing Era LP 12": 1019 — Rhapsody In Barnet 1940-49   

Desne Ahlers, the daughter of Paul Villepigue, has compelling evidence that her father arranged this track which is definitely the Phil Moore composition although spelled "Cornacopia" on Swing Era 1019 (which gives no composer credits). Barnet's soprano saxophone is featured. The bassist may be Red Kelly.

This LP includes an over 7-minute version of Rhapsody In Blue (Johnny Richards arrangement) which the liner notes assign to this radio broadcast; however, it is really Rhapsody In Blue parts 1 & 2 recorded by Barnet's band for Capitol Records on March 17, 1949 but never issued by that label. The drummer on that session was Cliff Leeman and not Tiny Kahn.

This information comes from Proper Box 76. The Bruyninckx discography gives the recording date as ca. late September 1949, the pianist as Dave Simpson and the bassist as Jack Seymour. Arranger/author/historian/teacher Jeff Sultanof reports that the arrangement of track a is a combination of Tiny Kahn's stock arrangement of his tune with modifications for a larger ensemble by a Heath arranger, probably Reg Owen.

The Stan Getz Quintet appeared at Storyville opposite Billie Holiday and her trio [Buster Harding (p), John Fields (b), Marquis Foster (d)]. On several occasions, the two stars appeared together and some of the performances were broadcast on radio (WMEX). This is one and sources offer conflicting information as to exactly which night the encounter took place. Donald Maggin in "Stan Getz: A Life In Jazz," William Morrow, 1996, p. 113 states: "Stan sat in with Billie Holiday every night during their joint Storyville engagement, and he can be heard on a broadcast air check gracefully accompanying her on October 29, 1951." The personnel also has been controversial and that shown derives from announcer Nat Hentoff's spoken introduction which was preserved. Detailed information on the Billie Holiday appearances at Storyville can be found at The Billie Holiday online discography.

From April to July 1952, the Elliot Lawrence Orchestra broadcast from the Statler Hotel in New York City and many of these radio shows were recorded privately and have circulated among collectors over the years. The information shown in the sessions below from that venue comes from Tiny Kahn discographer Malcolm Walker. I have auditioned some of the recordings but assigning a precise date to each track is problematic because the band would perform the same material each night and thus several versions of certain titles exist. Here is a listing of the titles I have auditoned with unverified months of recording:
April 1952:
Who Fard That Shot?
Jive At Five
You Took Advantage Of Me
A Little Wake Up Music

May 1952:
You Took Advantage Of Me
Anytime
My Heart Stood Still
Jeepers Creepers
Taking a Chance On Love

June 1952:
You Took Advantage Of Me
Maybe
Who Fard That Shot?
Jeepers Creepers
Moten Swing
Sing, Baby, Sing
Good Wood
A Little Wake Up Music
Jive At Five
Tapeworm
