DOWN BEAT’S 75th ANNIVERSARY Even if you don’t regularly read Down Beat magazine, you must pick up the October issue. As part of a celebration of its three-quarter century mark, they’ll reprint interviews from throughout its history. Down Beat was first published in 1934 by Albert Lipshultz as a way to get in touch with musicians to sell them insurance. James C. Petrillo is said to have told him to either critique music or sell insurance — but not both. So it moved to other hands and is now owned by Frank Alkyer who, in a recent Chicago Tribune story, said “the magazine is really a labor of love.” (Tell me about it - that goes for Delmark and a lot of jazz/blues labels and mags.) Back in Wichita when I was first getting interested in jazz, Down Beat was a golden connection to the music world. Over the years, usually in buying record collections, we have amassed back issues going back to 1936, which with most other jazz and blues publications are housed at the Delmark office and available to anyone wanting to peruse. (We’d like such folk to spend a little time comparing and filing some more recent acquisitions which we don’t have time to do. In fact, we could reward such work with some of the dupes for your own library.) Over the years a lot of great writers have graced its pages: George Hoefer (did a Hot Box column on early jazz), Nat Hentoff, Charles Edward Smith, John Hammond, Helen Oakley, Leonard Feather, Stanley Dance, Dave Dexter, George Frazier, Dan Morganstern, John Litweiller, Pete Welding (started the Testament label) and Gary Giddins, just to name a few. Musicians wrote sometimes-unexpectedly-interesting articles: Dizzy Gillespie (about Bird), Marian McPartland (about Paul Desmond), Cannonball Adderley (about Ornette Coleman) and Art Hodes’ had a regular column. Down Beat reviewed contemporary blues 78s for awhile in the late 30’s and early 40’s. And, especially during Welding’s stay, it helped with the surge of interest in blues by a white audience in the 60’s. I must admit that several Down Beat writers (Don DeMichael, Pete Welding, Terry Martin, John Litweiller) helped Delmark make up my mind to record the AACM artists from Roscoe Mitchell on. (I figured their knowledge and taste in traditional jazz was right on so they must know better than I just what was happening in the Avant Garde. As I write this I learn that the most recent editor, Jason Koransky has left, replaced by Ed Enright. So buy it. Better yet, subscribe to it.

Who doesn’t like a big band or two? (or ten?) And some of our customers specialize in early jazz and are aware that not everything is available on CD. But since the bulk of our sales are in the modern jazz and avant garde area (we integrate bop to avant garde), we are facing the fact that the other three categories are in greater supply. Thus we have lowered almost all our prices for... VOCALISTS (but don’t expect Billie, Ella, Sarah, Dinah or others wellknown by their first names to be $1.99) BIG BANDS - Yes, even Basie and Ellington! PRE WW2 JAZZ - This, of course, includes King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, etc. and guys who prefer to play the early style (Salty Dogs, Lu Watters, etc.); but also anyone who recorded under their own name prior to WW2: Art Tatum, Johnny Hodges, Coleman Hawkins, etc. So you can maintain your broad jazz listening experience at lower cost. Sorry, no mail orders on second-hand goods. But if you visit from outside the state, you can lighten your load (and sales tax) by having your goods shipped to you. - Bob Koester -- LIVE JAZZ IN ILLINOIS -- ILLIANA CLUB OF TRADITIONAL JAZZ UP-COMING CONCERTS The Glendora House, 102nd and Harlem, Chicago Ridge, IL $15 in advance or $17 at the door.
