Subject: Les Paul is honored - by rock-and-roll people.

Cleveland - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will pay tribute to
the "father of the electric guitar" this fall.

Les Paul will be honored at the annual American Music Masters series,
a weeklong event that begins Nov. 10, Rock Hall officials said today.
A tribute concert - artists will be named later - is scheduled Nov.
15 at Cleveland's State Theater.

Paul, 93, a Waukesha, Wis., native, is hoping to attend, said Rock
Hall President and CEO Terry Stewart.

"You have an inductee who in some ways maybe has had one of the
biggest influences of all our inductees with the creation of his
solid-body guitar, overdubbing ... not to mention his musical styling
and his ability to play," Stewart said. "He's become an idol and an
icon to people in the rock world, as well as people in jazz and
popular music."

Paul began playing guitar as a child and by 13 was performing
semiprofessionally as a country guitarist. He later made his mark as
a jazz-pop musician, recording hits such as "How High the Moon" with
his wife, singer Colleen Summers.

He built a solid-body electric guitar in 1941 - an invention born
from his frustration that audiences were unable to hear him play.

In 1952, Gibson introduced the Les Paul model, which became the
instrument of choice for musicians including Duane Allman, Eric
Clapton and Jimmy Page.

"It's not just his innovation and his musical playing, but sort of
the residual effects of that guitar," Stewart said. "It's become the
beginning point for so many people in music, particularly rock music."

Paul still performs weekly at the Iridium Jazz Club in New York City.
He was inducted into the early influence category of the Rock Hall in
1988.

Paul is only the second living recipient of the annual American Music
Masters award, which began in 1996 to pay tribute to artists who
helped change American culture. Jerry Lee Lewis was the first living
recipient in 2007. Past recipients include Woody Guthrie, Muddy
Waters and Sam Cooke.

The biggest hit for the Sauter-Finegan Band was 'Doodletown Fifers' which became a hit recording in the very late 1940's.

I've highlighted the above for the local chicagoland - non musicians... who will remember this song as
the theme for the Local 1960's TV program.. B J and Dirty Dragon

----------------------------------

Composer, arranger, and co-leader of the Sauter-Finegan Big Band, Bill Finegan, died June 4th, 2008 in a Bridgeport, Connecticut hospital.

He was born April 3rd, 1917.

He was an accomplished arranger for Glenn Miller and was also the mentor and teacher of Nelson Riddle.

Bill Continued to arrange right up until his death, undertaking a huge project last year for the Gotham Wind Symphony.

The biggest hit for the Sauter-Finegan Band was 'Doodletown Fifers' which became a hit recording in the very late 1940's. The Sauter-Finegan band, which incorporated a Tuba in its rhythm section was one of the best of the 'later' big bands and often used unique musical instruments and sounds to transport the listener into a world of great Big Band Music.

Bill Flannigan, famed guitarist and vocalist with The Guy Lombardo Orchestra, once said that when the Sauter-Finegan band came to New York City, he couldn't wait to go and see them. He said they had a great band and he always admired the innovative sounds they could achieve. 'It wasn't really for dancing,' he said 'but it was great for listening.'

The band was often referred to as 'The Original Doodletown Fifers.' They were indeed.

Bill Finegan was 91.

Neal Hefti - Arranger for Count Basie and Sinatra who wrote the them

Tue Oct 14, 2008 2:45 pm (PDT)

Neal Hefti, who died on Saturday aged 85, was a composer and arranger whose work
played a crucial role in the success of two great jazz orchestras, that of Woody
Herman in the mid-1940s and of Count Basie from 1950 onwards; he went on to
write award-winning scores for Hollywood films and television shows.

From the very beginning Hefti seemed to have a natural affinity with the
big-band format of brass, saxophone and rhythm sections. At its best, his
writing sounds deceptively simple, with neatly interlocking melodic lines,
clearly contrasting textures and an unfailing instinct for the swinging phrase.

Neal Paul Hefti was born into a musical family at Hastings, Nebraska, on October
29 1922. His mother was a music teacher and, together with his three brothers
and two sisters, he received lessons in piano and basic musical theory from an
early age. He was given a trumpet for Christmas, aged 11, and took to it
immediately, winning numerous prizes in school band competitions.

While still in high school he began writing arrangements for carnival bands, and
soon his scores were being bought by the local Howard White agency for the use
of dance bands on their books. He was almost entirely self-taught, picking up
ideas from bands he heard on the radio.

In 1941 Hefti moved to New York, where he played trumpet in the bands of Charlie
Barnet and Charlie Spivak. He travelled with the latter to Hollywood in 1943 to
appear in the film Pin Up Girl, starring Betty Grable, and stayed on when the
band returned to New York.

After playing for a while in Los Angeles with Horace Heidt's band, Hefti joined
the Herman trumpet section. It was here that his composing and arranging first
made an impression on the jazz world at large. Herman had perhaps the most
exciting and adventurous big band in the world at that time. Young, enthusiastic
and packed with talented soloists, it combined the directness of the swing era
with the audacity of the rising bebop generation. During the year he spent with
Herman, Hefti composed four of the band's most popular and characteristic
pieces: Wild Root, The Good Earth, Apple Honey and Blowin' Up a Storm.

In October 1945 Hefti married Herman's vocalist, Frances Wayne. The couple left
the band soon afterwards, and settled in New York to pursue freelance careers.
Hefti became a studio arranger and conductor. 'Whatever the studio wanted me to
do, I learned how,' he recalled. 'I did big bands, vocal 'doo-wahs', pop
artists, catalogue music. I loved it all.'

The big-band business collapsed dramatically at the end of the 1940s, and by
1950 most bandleaders had given up the struggle. Count Basie was forced to cut
down to an eight-piece, and Hefti was called upon to supply some material for
it. He came up with two numbers, Neal's Deal and Bluebeard Blues, which remain
unsurpassed for the ingenuity with which the slim resources are deployed. Basie
managed to start a second big band the following year and, for its first
recording session, Hefti produced another masterpiece. This was Little Pony, a
bravura feature for the tenor saxophonist Wardell Gray, whose lithe elegance
contrasted delightfully with the weight of the full orchestra.

Hefti contributed regularly to Basie's repertoire over the next decade, most
notably the 1957 album E=mc�, which came to be known as The Atomic Basie,
containing such pieces as The Kid From Red Bank, Flight Of The Foo Birds and
Lil' Darlin'. This won two Grammy awards. It is often said that it was Hefti's
attractive themes and exuberant arrangements which made the Basie band an
international draw. It is also said that Basie's instructions to later
arrangers, to 'do it just like Neal', had an ultimately stultifying effect on
the band's music.

Hefti's output over the two post-war decades was quite remarkable, both in
productivity and in its consistently high quality. In addition to 60 scores for
Basie, he produced string accompaniments for both Charlie Parker and Clifford
Brown; albums with Coleman Hawkins, June Christy, Georgie Auld; and, most
notably, Harry James, plus numerous recordings under his own name. He scored a
minor hit in 1951 with a catchy tune entitled Coral Reef and made a superb
album, Songs For My Man, with his wife in 1956.

When Frank Sinatra started his own label, Reprise Records, in 1961, he persuaded
Hefti not only to arrange for him but also to become his producer. Although not
keen on the production role, he liked and admired Sinatra and they made two
albums together, Sinatra-Basie and Frank Sinatra And Swinging Brass (both 1962).

After this, Hefti devoted himself to film and television work. His most
successful scores included How To Murder Your Wife and Sex And The Single Girl
(both 1964), Barefoot In The Park (1967) and The Odd Couple (1968).

His 1965 score for Harlow included the hit song Girl Talk. In 1966 he gained a
Grammy Award for his theme to the Batman television series.

Following his wife's death in 1978, Hefti gradually withdrew from active music
making. In later years he concentrated on 'taking care of my copyrights'.

Neal Hefti is survived by his son; a daughter predeceased him.

Sunday's Music of the Stars will be our annual Halloween Spooktacular. (And not for the easily frightened.)

This is lengthy, but interesting.

Taking Movie Music Seriously, Like It or Not

By DAVID SCHIFF

Dean Wong
Paul Chihara at a rehearsal in 1992. "Things changed for me when people told me
I wasn't weird but postmodern," he said.

OR two years in a row, the Academy Award for best film score has gone to a
classical composer: first John Corigliano for "The Red Violin," then Tan Dun
for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." While cynics claim that this is the film
industry's way of advertising its high-art pretensions, Hollywood may really be
ahead of New York in acknowledging that the opposition between film music and
concert music is a phantom of the last century. Today the two styles constantly
interact. John Williams's scores for George Lucas's "Star Wars" movies and for
Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," which
resurrected the symphonic style for film in the 70's, have also exerted a huge
influence on the work of young concert composers. Philip Glass's music for
"Koyaanisqatsi" made Minimalism an essential component of any film composer's
stylistic vocabulary.

Now the American Composers Orchestra is catching up with the Motion Picture
Academy, presenting a "Hollywood" concert this afternoon at Carnegie Hall that
culminates a two-week series of small concerts and film screenings. The
program, conducted by Dennis Russell Davies, includes music for two camp
classics, the Hollywood "expos�" "The Bad and the Beautiful" (David Raksin,
composer) and Alfred Hitchcock's Freudian whodunit "Spellbound" (Miklos Rozsa);
the cult sci-fi thriller "The Thing" (Dimitri Tiomkin); and Hitchcock's
unavoidable "Psycho" (Bernard Herrmann). Except for "Psycho," none of these is
a pinnacle of cinematic art, but each score is a milestone in film music.

The orchestra's warm embrace of Hollywood may be a deceptive sign of a thaw in
the longstanding cold war between the musical cultures of the two coasts. Last
year, when Washington had other scandals to think about, a minor Beltway drama
� call it Kamengate � erupted around a concert by the National Symphony
Orchestra that included the premiere of Michael Kamen's "New Moon in the Old
Moon's Arms." Mr. Kamen is a Juilliard- trained composer of many film scores,
including "Mr. Holland's Opus." But for Philip Kennicott, the music critic of
The Washington Post, he represents everything wrong with music today.

Mr. Kennicott dismissed Mr. Kamen's symphony as "pretentious and pernicious
tonal tripe . . . scored in the usual sodden and overripe Hollywood manner."
And he blasted the National Symphony for commissioning a "well-remunerated
Hollywood hack" who "doesn't need to be dipping into the paltry amount that's
available to composers of serious music." Mr. Kennicott seemed to assume that
commissions, like welfare payments, should be based on need. And he was nearly
as harsh on works by non-Hollywood composers, criticizing Richard Danielpour's
"Voice of Remembrance" as "a succession of familiar moods and feelings." In
other words, it sounded like film music.
Mr. Kamen's mediocre score hardly deserved so much ink, but Mr. Kennicott's
bile, like Mr. Kamen's music, sounded recycled. The classical world's
anti-Hollywood bias goes back to the dawn of film music in the 1930's, when Max
Steiner established the genre with "King Kong." During the Depression, New York
and Hollywood contrasted starkly. Economically, New York was broke, Hollywood
was rich. Politically, New York was left, Hollywood was right.

But sound movies were new, and Hollywood needed composers; a musical gold rush
was on. As lights dimmed on Broadway, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern and the
Gershwins headed west, as did Copland, Herrmann, Alex North and Jerome Moross.
While the tunesmiths happily adjusted to life in paradise, modernist composers
like Copland were put off by the power politics of the studio system and the
lush late-Romantic style of established studio composers like Steiner and Erich
Wolfgang Korngold.

In a sense, Hollywood was the new Versailles or Eszterhaza. The studio moguls
were princes of patronage, but composers had grown used to neglect and
forgotten the advantages and disadvantages of steady employment. Every composer
who got close enough to dance with the devil had a Hollywood horror story to
send back east.
Disney's "Fantasia" (1940) turned Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" into "an
unresisting imbecility," in the composer's phrase, with drastic cuts and
"Jurassic Park" animation. Since the score lacked copyright protection because
of the Russian Revolution, Stravinsky had no choice but to accept Disney's
modest remuneration and immodest editorial insults. Still, he continued to seek
out film projects, with little success. (Music he wrote for "The Commandos
Strike at Dawn" in 1943 ended up as "Four Norwegian Moods," also to be played
by the American Composers Orchestra.)

Stravinsky's archrival, Schoenberg, fared no better. Irving Thalberg hoped that
Schoenberg's name would lend intellectual cachet to "The Good Earth" (1937),
the MGM prestige epic based on Pearl Buck's novel. Whether in a state of
delusion or merely seeking an escape hatch, Schoenberg wanted to compose
pitches and rhythms for the actors' lines and demanded final editing rights. He
claimed to be relieved when the collaboration fell through, saying, "It would
have been the end of me."
For the oater "Duel in the Sun" (Vanguard, 1947), David Selznick demanded that
Tiomkin whistle first a love theme, then an orgasm theme. William Wyler
replaced Copland's title music for "The Heiress" (Paramount, 1949) as soon as
the composer left town. There are more stories, and worse.

In a 1940 New York Times article on film music, Copland praised the new genre
but attacked Steiner's 19th-century style, his use of leitmotifs and his
dependence on "mickey-mousing." Although Copland continued to work successfully
in Hollywood through 1948, his writings confirmed the East Coast view that the
industry was dominated by studio hacks working in a reactionary idiom. By
contrast, Hollywood honored Copland with an Oscar (for "The Heiress," despite
its non-Copland title music) and quickly appropriated his lean, modernist style
for psychological dramas and the grander horse operas.

Composers who remained in Hollywood were given the cold shoulder by New York.
Paul Chihara said recently that Herrmann and Rozsa bitterly resented the
refusal of the concert world to take their music seriously. But Mr. Chihara,
whose "Clouds (. . . From Out of the Past)" receives its premiere in the
American Composers Orchestra program, exemplifies the way times have changed. A
student of Nadia Boulanger with a doctorate in composition from Cornell, he has
won numerous prizes and commissions for his classical scores. He has also
composed for more than 80 films, including "Crossing Delancey" and "Prince of
the City," and television series, including "China Beach" and the current A & E
series "100 Centre Street."

The smoky, sinuous title trumpet solo for "100 Centre Street" begins like a
film noir clich� but takes a series of surprising harmonic turns that sound
more like the devices of a concert composer. "I used to think I was writing in
two different styles, but now they have come together," Mr. Chihara said.
"Things changed for me when people told me I wasn't weird but postmodern."

Mr. Chihara, who teaches at U.C.L.A., is in constant demand as a guest lecturer
at university music departments and conservatories that used to ignore film
music. For either artistic or economic reasons, the old stigma against
commercial music has disappeared. "Today composition teachers want to make sure
their students know how to write for movies," Mr. Chihara said.

Film music and concert music are converging in style and technology.
Postmodernism, a style that emerged in the early 1970's, dominates American
concert music today, but it took a while to be properly understood. George
Crumb, David Del Tredici and Mr. Corigliano were, like Mr. Chihara, postmodern
before the term was invented. They all mixed styles fearlessly and experimented
with amplification. In his Clarinet Concerto (1977), Mr. Corigliano, whose East
Coast credentials were just recertified by a Pulitzer Prize for his Symphony
No. 2 for String Orchestra, placed instruments around the hall, less in
imitation of Gabrieli and Ives than in anticipation of THX and surround sound.

Whereas modernist music emphasized structural and stylistic integrity,
postmodern music is a polystylistic hybrid, mingling and matching incongruous
elements with a heavy dose of irony � just like film music. Listen to Franz
Waxman's title track for "Sunset Boulevard," and then listen to John Adams's
"Chairman Dances": they are not just stylistically similar; they are virtually
the same piece.

Mr. Raksin's score for "The Bad and the Beautiful" (MGM, 1952) shows how much
composers today have learned from the Hollywood masters. The film itself is a
couple of tall steps below such behind-the- scenes sagas as "Sunset Boulevard"
and "Singin' in the Rain," though not without its gripping moments. Teetering
between conscious and unconscious self-parody, it shows a brutish genius
director, played by Kirk Douglas, abusing his closest friends and lovers to
make "great" movies.
Pauline Kael described "The Bad and the Beautiful" as a "spangled, overwrought
piece of Hollywood self-analysis" but also wrote that the director, Vincente
Minnelli, gave it a "hysterical stylishness." A lot of that stylishness and
hysteria is Mr. Raksin's doing. He captures the studio's seductive glamour with
a romantic theme not far below his classic, "Laura"; then, as the film tours
the backlots, he serves up 15-second pastiches of B-movie scores. How many
"serious" composers could evoke a cardboard cowboy-and-Indian film or a
Saturday morning science fiction potboiler in such a fleeting window of
opportunity?

Mr. Raksin's underscore itself is a series of ironic allusions: here a little
Gershwin, there a little Ellington. In one scene, Mr. Douglas carries a limp
Lana Turner in his arms against a backdrop of stormy skies. The music surges
with passion in the grandest Steineresque manner. Then Mr. Douglas drops Ms.
Turner into a swimming pool to sober her up, and we realize that Mr. Raksin has
been parodying Hollywood's dream-factory style to sober us up as well.
Interestingly, the most dramatic scene in the film, Ms. Turner driving off in
terror from Mr. Douglas's ultimate act of cruelty, has no music: the ultimate
form of musical irony.

Mr. Raksin's ironic juxtapositions of style make him the grandfather of current
postmodernists like John Zorn and Michael Daugherty. But the collapse of the
wall separating film music and art music may be a question of technology more
than of style. Because it depends on recording, Hollywood has always been in
the forefront of musical science, sculpturing and styling performances through
microphone placement, overdubbing and editing. Both Rozsa's "Spellbound" and
Tiomkin's "Thing" feature that quintessentially eerie electronic instrument,
the theremin. Gregory Peck's amnesiac character in "Spellbound" seems to be
suffering from theremin on the brain as well as what Ingrid Bergman keeps
calling his "guilt complex."
Sixty years ago Copland enthusiastically reported on the technology of film
scoring, the fine art of coordinating music and image. But today only a few
composers � notably, John Williams � fit their music to the screen action in
the time-honored way. The artistry with which Mr. Williams's Oscar-nominated
score for "The Patriot" minutely matches the action proves the value of the
traditional method, but both the artistry and the method may already be
anachronistic.

"There really is no such thing as Hollywood music anymore," Mr. Chihara said.
"It's all done in a garage in North Hollywood." Composers are now expected to
produce the music, not just write it. Most of the music you hear on television
and at the movies uses sound synthesis instead of live performers or in
addition to them. The blend of live and synthesized sounds is a signature of
Hans Zimmer, whose Electronica-does- Holst score for "Gladiator" was nominated
for an Oscar this year. Synthesized music is cheaper, and young people, the
target audience, prefer its sound.

Today the audio and video components of a film come together not on a
soundstage but on a computer screen. Editing software allows composers to
stretch or compress the music as needed. The new technologies may reinforce the
old prejudice, resurrected by Mr. Kennicott, that film composers lack
traditional musical technique. Although composers like Mr. Kamen and James
Horner ("Titanic") have full conservatory credentials, it is quite possible
these days to compose and produce film music with little traditional musical
training. The industry is full of notorious "hummers," whose careers depend on
armies of unnamed technical assistants.

But synthesizers and computer editing are transforming concert music as well.
Music publishing in its older form has virtually disappeared. Every composer
today is expected to produce scores at home; all you need is a computer and a
printer. And performers routinely ask composers to provide computer playback
along with a score; conductors no longer even pretend to be able to imagine a
score silently.

The next step is for the computer playback to begin to replace some or all
aspects of live performance. As in film music, this development is spurred by
economics and esthetics. Recent scores like Mr. Adams's "Gnarly Buttons" depend
on a synthesizer to give the music a sound that younger listeners will
recognize as contemporary. Perhaps concert music will have its share of hummers
before long, if they're not out there already.

Still, there remain fundamental differences in the functioning of concert and
film genres, which cause problems when composers try to cross over. The central
difference is one of speed. Concert music has to fill a lot of time, but most
film music cues are brief. This difference became important only with the
advent of talkies. Silent movies required continuous music to cover the sound
of the projector and create continuity in a flickering medium. Concert
composers had room to stretch without skirting around dialogue, so they did not
have to change their musical habits.

Copland's first film, "The City," was a documentary, with a voice-over but no
on- screen speech, and most of the music he used for the Suite From "The Red
Pony" comes from nondramatic parts of the film. Because "Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon" uses subtitles rather than dubbed dialogue, it works like a
silent movie with broad swaths of music; a lot of it feels like a Yo-Yo Ma
video.

With the talkies, film music became more fragmentary and film composing more
specialized. In Mr. Raksin's "Bad and the Beautiful" score, for instance, most
cues after the sustained opening are less than a minute long. This imposed
brevity made film music seem irreconcilable with the concert hall. Concert
composers keep their music going by a strategy of postponement, setting up
expectations and delaying their fulfillment, but a film composer has to deliver
the goods quickly.

A memorable example of instantaneous evocation comes in Copland's score for
"The Heiress." The heroine waits for a lover who will never arrive. When
preview audiences laughed at Olivia de Haviland's predicament, Copland added a
sudden gust of whirling woodwind music, which perfectly captured her state of
nervous expectancy. The music feels like a muscle spasm. (Did someone ask
Copland to whistle a muscle spasm?) The film creates suspense by keeping us
waiting to see if the caddish Montgomery Clift will ever show up; the music
makes the woman's agony real, and in a matter or seconds.

HERRMANN said he did not have time for an eight-bar tune; he built his film
scores from two- second motifs that could do their job no matter how brief a
musical cue might be. But for concertgoers used to waiting 20 minutes for
Beethoven to answer his own musical question, a succession of cues does not add
up to a symphonic experience, especially when they are detached from the images
they serve to amplify.

The concert hall automatically gives its own composers an edge. Some, when they
cross over, conceive the concert version of their music simultaneously with the
film score, as Copland did with "The Red Pony" and Mr. Corigliano did with "The
Red Violin." Herrmann's "Psycho" Suite is a more complicated example, for the
film score made use of a previously composed symphonic composition, but most
listeners are just waiting for the shower scene anyway.

Blame postmodernism or technology, but our expectations of symphonic structure
have diminished; we live in an age of short attention spans and sound bites,
after all, and delayed gratification is so 19th century. We also live in an eye
rather than an ear culture. Many orchestras are talking about using some kind
of video even for their classical concerts: the MTV-ization of the concert
hall. When that happens, and it won't be long, everything really will be film
music.

David Schiff is a composer on the faculty of Reed College in Portland, Ore.

Reissue of Julie London's "Julie is Her Name" LP

Stan Cornyn, the King of liner note prose back in the 1960s, sent me the
following piece, which he wrote for a forthcoming Boxstar Records vinyl
reissue of Jule London's legendary LP, "Julie is Her Name." It's such a
terrific item I asked if I could share it, and he graciously agreed.

The info about the vinyl reissue can be found at:
http://boxstarrecords.com/BoxStar_London.html.

-------------------
Julie and Me

Our affair, Julie's and mine, lasted too short a time back in the 1950s.
About twenty weeks as I recall. She was a young divorcee when we met, and
it wasn't too long 'til I would awake to find her face on my pillow. She
sounded to me like we two'd be together a long, long time. To me, she felt
like fate.

Julie was seven years my senior, born in the year 1926 along with Marilyn
Monroe, Jerry Lewis, Hugh Hefner, and Fidel Castro ? while I was just
getting out of college, where I had in a single room with a pawn-size bed,
and a hi-fi on wire legs that would play those new LPs real loud through its
5" speaker.

Felt like fate all right. I'd heard how Julie had already dropped out of
school when she was just 15, hiring on as a $19 a week department store
elevator operator. She'd already been divorced from a cornet player named
Jack Webb.

That was 12 or 13 years earlier, when we'd had World War II, when Julie was
good looking and well-shaped enough to become a teen pin-up ? a cheesecake
darling inside G.I. lockers. But Julie and I didn't talk all the time.
People having affairs do what they dream of doing. I certainly did.

Through it all, Julie was so cool. I mean she sang for me, and she didn't
belt like one of those big band dolls like Ella or Sarah. Julie sang JUST
for me. One song I liked best was "Cry Me a River."

What I didn't know at that time was how Julie came to end up on my pillow.
Later, I learned this: Julie had been a show biz darling. Born of show biz
parents (her name then was Gayle Peck) and she turned out to be a visible
hottie who could sing. Before she and I coupled up in 1955, she'd met a
jazz pianist-composer named Bobby Troup, whose claim to notice was his song
"Route 66" (for Nat "King" Cole and dozens more).

Troup had taken on Julie's singing career. That led them into a start-up
label called Liberty Records, headed by Si Waronker (Simon of The Chipmunks,
I must point out). She auditioned for Si in Beverly Hills at the 881 Club,
singing soft into a mike, her gown clinging to her 110 well-distributed
pounds. She captivated audiences. Waronker said "you bet," and an album
deal was made. Troup to produce.

Songs were fitted to her singing style: soft. From a high school classmate
(now and still a Hollywood songwriter) named Arthur Hamilton came "Cry Me a
River."

The first Liberty sessions took place at Troup's favorite L.A. studio, Gold
Star, located at Vine and Santa Monica Blvd. The room: 23' by 35', and
into it Troup brought only two musicians to work with Julie: fleet
guitarist Barney Kessel and big band bass player Ray Leatherwood. Three
silver Telefunken mikes linked in to engineer John Neal's console knobs, and
his mix of those three mikes then sent across the booth for preservation:
onto a ?" mono tape on a 10 ?" reel, to be stored in a sturdy box marked
"London."

In the studio, Julie is the focus, and (I didn't know this yet) fitting in
with the guys. She had a mouth, tough like a Marine. Constantly smoking
(she would become the spoke-singer for Marlboro cigarettes ? "You get a lot
to like with a Marlboro ? filter, flavor, flip top box" ? this before
Marlboro would turn to a new image, its cowboy Marlboro Man).

Julie sang the album's songs her only way. Soft, breathy, intimate with the
mike, and of course a bit smoky. She knew her voice wasn't big band; "I'm a
girl who needs amplification," she'd purr. "I've got a thimbleful of voice,
and have to use it very close to the mike."

Liberty Records turned to photographer Phil Howard for the album cover.
They spent days on that cover. And ohhhh, did it work. In an age when pop
singing girls were cute, tiny, and covered up, Howard's shot displayed a
full female: bare shoulders, the tops of her boobs, her face perfectly
inviting, blue eyes right on you. For album covers, this was astonishing;
Julie was a full woman, while the others' covers looked like teen kids who
had to be home before 11.

The album took off. "Julie Is Her Name" sold and sold, and nobody could
figure out if it was that cover or its songs. Both were anti-Doris Day.
Even the album jacket's cornball original liner notes called Julie "goddess
of the bodice." But if we have to choose which made it sell so well ? its
cover or its songs -- very probably the song, because "Cry Me a River" hit
the singles chart for 13 weeks, and the album followed for 20 weeks. Or, as
Julie herself later summed it up, "Just as long as they buy the records, I
don't care why they buy 'em."

For Julie and me, our affair lasted those hot 20 weeks on the charts, then
both of us moved on. She married Bobby Troup for 40 years, lived in the San
Fernando Valley, recorded 30 more albums (no charts for those), and was a
medium-star on TV and films.

I too lived in the San Fernando Valley, I too in the record business, but it
was utterly different for both Julie or me now. It was now a business where
I dealt with acts like Kiss and Alice Cooper and the Sex Pistols, in a
business that had outgrown "good" music. Now it was tongues that poked out
at you, not pointy bras. Now it was yelling, not crooning. Julie's became
a world that's gone forever, I'm afraid, a world of cocktail glasses and
witty rhymes. And singers, like Julie, who sounded vulnerable and you
wanted her on your pillow.

Julie died a year after her husband Bobby, died on Bobby's birthday,
October 18, 2000. She was 74, and had more than outlived her era.

In 2008, the box labeled "London" was located in a storage basement at EMI.
Still clean inside. Tape good as the day it was born.

When I was asked to write these notes, I traveled to look at what might be
left of this woman, only her metal star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame out
front of the Roosevelt Hotel (7000 Hollywood Blvd.). I stared down at her
star. I wondered how many tourists passing by even knew whom they were
stepping on.

There was nothing of my Julie about that star in the sidewalk. No picture.
None of that sultry voice that had lured me over half a century earlier.
No, not there.

But then, that's what records are for.

Subject: Information surfaces on Winter Dance Party co-host Ed Auxer:

mrcooby

Send Email

Ed Auxer, the smiling WLIP Disc jockey who worked as co-host of the January 24th, 1959 Winter Dance Party alongside ABC-TV's Jim Lounsbury, died in Milwaukee on August 21 of 2004, according to the Rootsweb.com database. His tenure is unknown as unfortunately no records survive of his career at WLIP, but his Social Security application originated in Pennsylvania. His birthplace is likewise a mystery, but his birthday is December 19th, 1909. He would have just turned 49 the month before the event.

Nine days before the music died amidst the twisted wreckage of a Beechcraft Bonanza in a frozen Iowa cornfield, it was very much alive in the downtown Kenosha Eagles Club ballroom.

Fifty years ago on the evening of Jan. 24 � it fell on a Saturday in 1959, just as it will this year � Kenosha photographer Tony Szikil was impatiently glancing at his watch. He had been booked for a wedding at what was then known as the Eagles Ballroom on 58th Street, but the current of what would endure as timeless music was fiercely tugging at him.

One floor above where the then 24-year-old Szikil was wrapping up his wedding assignment � or so he thought he was � Buddy Holly was strumming his Fender Stratocaster guitar to an audience of 1,500 energized kids. Distinguished by his large black-framed glasses, red polka-dot ascot and hiccuping, drawling singing voice, the 22-year-old Texan had indelibly carved his name among the pioneers of rock `n' roll with timeless classics the likes of "That'll Be The Day," "Peggy Sue" and "Oh, Boy!"

In terms of popularity, he was second only to Elvis Presley. But unlike Presley, Holly wrote most of his songs � songs that would one day be covered by the Beatles and Rolling Stones, among countless others.

What was billed as "The Winter Dance Party" had kicked off in Milwaukee the previous night, but there was little glamour on this tour. Joined by musicians that included 17-year-old sensation Ritchie Valens, J.P. Richardson (better known as "The Big Bopper"), Waylon Jennings and Dion DiMucci and the Belmonts, Holly would be putting himself through a grueling series of dates in the Midwest during the depths of a cold winter.

Their tour bus was a frozen relic that frequently broke down during all-night treks through dark country roads. And the tour itself was a logistical nightmare with performances scheduled haphazardly throughout the Midwest for several weeks with no off days. So miserable were the traveling conditions that drummer Carl Bunch had to be hospitalized with severely frost-bitten feet.

There was no sign of the strain that would set in as Holly triumphantly was wrapping up his set that night in Kenosha. Szikil, who worked for Sterelczyk Photo in Kenosha, lobbied for this assignment among four other weddings that day with the hope of seeing these young stars perform.

It would prove to be a struggle.

"It was the worst wedding I had for that year," said Szikil, a life-long Kenosha resident. "I was in the mezzanine right below the ballroom and, at 9 o'clock, I went to the bride and groom and said, `Can I go upstairs for 15 minutes? I want to take some pictures.' And they said, `No, your contract calls for 10:30.'

"So I waited around until 10 and I went back and said, `I'll give you two free 8x10's for your book if you let me go upstairs for 15 minutes.' And they said, `No your contract calls for 10:30.'

"At 25 after 10, I took the bride and groom for one last shot and I kept checking the time. And then they said, `One more picture' and I said, `No!' and I walked away because it was 10:30. They pushed me to 10:30 and it was past 10:30."

Just as Szikil entered the mobbed ballroom, Holly was wrapping up his set with what Szikil believes was "Peggy Sue." Aiming the Speed Graphic camera he still owns above the crowd, Szikil took a far-away shot that turned out to be the only image he would get that night of Holly performing (he later had it enlarged to an extent that Holly is far more
recognizable).

By this point, the four other photographers from Sterelczyk Photo who had been shooting weddings that day joined Szikil. All five men were wearing matching clothes from their studio, which proved to be vital that night as they tried to get close to the stage.

"The people in front of us thought we were a group and parted," Szikil said. "We walked all the way up to the stage. And then Jim Lounsberry, a WGN DJ, said, `Hey you with the camera, come on stage.' That's when Ritchie came on the stage. That's why most of my shots are of Ritchie.

"After the show, Jim Lounsberry introduced me to Buddy, Ritchie and The Big Bopper."

Szikil remembers Holly as having a firm Texan handshake, Valens as having a soft teenager's grip and the flamboyant Big Bopper welcoming him with a rowdy "give-me-some-skin" persona.

WLIP DJ Ed Auxer is seen in the middle of the musicians alongside Lounsberry, grinning the widest.

Nine days later, those three young stars, so full of life and promise that night in Kenosha, were killed just after 1 a.m. Feb. 3 when their light plane crashed five minutes after takeoff following a show in Clear Lake, Iowa. Holly, weary of the endless all-night bus rides, chartered the plane for $108 so he could get to Fargo, N.D., early and get some laundry done for the next show.

"I found out about 12 or 1 o'clock that day," Szikil said. "My wife told me. She said, `Did you hear on the radio what happened?' I felt hurt. I just sat home, watched TV and did nothing. And I reminisced.

"I still think about what I could have done that day and how much I appreciated being there."

Lou, Have you ever played any of the music of Jackie Gleason (Born
Herbert John Gleason)??? Few people know he was a composer, lyricist,
and poet.  Albums like "Night Winds", "Lonesome Echo", "How Sweet It
Is!-with the Velvet Brass"," Music, Martini's & Memories" - to name a
few.
I think if you haven't already done this, it might be enjoyable as well
as interesting program.

Thanks, Lou, I'll listen in.  I remember watching Jackie's show as a youngster,
and my Mom enjoyed the baritone voice of Frank ( Frankie ) Fontaine, who played
" Crazy Googenheim".  Mom would say, " He really has a beautiful voice, But I
don't care to watch him when he sings". Ha ha. then, Dad would say, " Remember
when we used to watch the radio?"

If I were producing a cartoon or movie, I would purposely find a place to put a
smidgeon of Gershwin. His music is enchanting, lush, and inspiring. AND THEN I
would play a whole piece during the credits.

MAURICE JARRE (1924-2009)

If it weren't for Maurice Jarre, who died on Saturday, I would not be addressing you right now. For it was Jarre who kindled my love for film music, and without him there would never have been a small business called Soundtrackers.

And just how did he influence me?

For some long-ago birthday of mine, when I was still a preadolescent, my grandfather had purchased for me what was then the latest in stereo equipment: a bulky eight-track player along with two original cast recordings: "Cabaret" and "Mame." Since the format was brand-spanking new, everything about this musical experience had a sort of experimental aspect to it. And although not averse to Broadway, I knew that my real love was film, so not too long after my birthday, my mother took me to a record store and with much deliberation, we ended up purchasing a compilation of film music performed by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops.

If memory serves me correctly, the very first track was Jarre's "Lawrence of Arabia," and it was love at first listen. The music was jaw-droppingly exciting and beautiful, and I remember calling my mother into my room and making her sit down and listen to it with me. I don't think she quite understood why I was so moved by the music, but she was canny enough to realize that something had been stirred deep within me, and subsequent birthday presents were often soundtracks.

I hadn't seen David Lean's film at that time--nor could I, for this was in the days before home video, and I had been too young to see the film when it was first released in 1962. But Jarre's music conjured up images and expectations that perhaps no film could live up to, and indeed, when I finally did see the movie in a reissue, I was disappointed. Not in the music; never in his music. But in the film.

Same with Jarre's score for "Doctor Zhivago." This was another instance in which I wasn't old enough to see the film when it was first released, but my parents had the soundtrack LP, which I listened to repeatedly. This must be one of the greatest films of all time, I thought to myself. When I finally caught up with the movie as a college student, I was overwhelmed by the music but merely "whelmed" by the film. (I should mention here that my attitude toward both Lean films has changed a bit in the intervening years.)

And then there was "Is Paris Burning?" My brother and I started watching this on the late show one night during one of our summer vacations, and the film went on and on and on and on, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing, because staying up late is what summer nights were for. Moreover, the film went on and on and on with two incredibly memorable Jarre themes, which he milked for all they were worth. And I might try to argue that one of the greatest meldings of music and image occurs at the very end, when the movie switches from black-and-white to color as an aerial camera soars over Paris and Jarre's "Liberation Waltz" swells in the background for the umpteenth time.

When I heard the announcement of his death on a radio station on Monday, the news commentator referred to him as "Maurice Jarr�." At first I thought I would call up the station and give 'em a piece of my mind, but it triggered another memory from many years ago, when I myself was instructed in the correct way of pronouncing his last name.

I suppose I thought it was "Jarr�" because of the omnipresence of John le Carr�'s books at the time (my father was a fan of his). For some reason, the two names became fused in my mind, and I was certain that the man whose music I so admired was "Jarr�." The correction came from an unusual source and under unusual circumstances:

I was dating author Ray Bradbury's daughter right out of college, and the three of us were invited to a screening of "Lawrence of Arabia" at the house of producer Jennings Lang. (Actually, I think only Ray Bradbury was invited; Tina and I probably just tagged along.)

I felt a bit like Nick Carroway in "The Great Gatsby," getting an inside look at how the very, very wealthy lived, with mansions instead of homes and private screening rooms instead of TV dens.

In any case, at the end of the film, I turned to Ray Bradbury and said how much I liked "Jarr�'s" music.

"It's pronounced 'Jarre,' " he said.

Not seeing how I could possibly have been wrong for all those years, I asked, "Are you sure?" (Such is the certitude of youth.)

Very politely he replied, "I'm sure."

And so, I had the rare distinction of having one genius correct me about another. And in light of that, I realized I couldn't nearly make the same impression on the obituary reader on the radio.

All this was a long way of saying that I've come a very far way with Maurice Jarre and that in no small way has he made me who I am today.

DRAWING FOR A FREE CD

This month's prize in the drawing for a free CD is an official Oscar promo of Hans Zimmer's score for "Frost/Nixon." To win you must do one of two things:

1. Write me back and admit that, like David Frost, you like to wear Italian shoes.

2. Write me back and say you want to enter the drawing (no purchase necessary).

Option 2 is less interesting, but either way gets you a shot at the prize. I'll announce the winner in the opening section of next week's list.

And in the interim, here's what's available this week.

Take care,

Gerry

Lou,
I thought the Easter "Eggstravaganda" was really good.  I especially enjoyed
hearing about the making of the film "Easter Parade", interesting stuff there
about MGM.. and also liked the message you added at the end of the program,
about the heart.
I love all the little known facts that you tell us on both of your shows.  As I
have said, I love all kinds of music, and look forward to my Sunday coffee and
listening to The Music Of The Stars, every Sunday morning on WLIP.  Keep up the
good work !!!
