Nicknamed ‘The Blonde Bombshell of Rhythm,’ Ina Ray Hutton was a true American original who pre-dated Lana and Marilyn and gave more gam than Lombard or Grable. A fine vocalist and dancer, Ina’s unique and memorable performing style blended leading the band with her baton while dancing quite provocatively, especially for the times. The first disc on this collection brings together all of the known studio recordings by Ina Ray Hutton and Her Melodears. Ina’s fine voice is showcased nicely on such songs as ‘Twenty-Four Hours in Georgia’ and ‘Truckin’,’ while the band proves they are far more than a novelty on hot instrumental numbers like the riotous ‘Jazznocracy’ and the swinging ‘Witch Doctor.’ In late 1939, Ina assembled Ina Ray Hutton and Her Orchestra, an all-male band (besides its leader) that would become quite a force during the War Years. This band is prominently featured on the remaining discs of this collection. The second CD boasts fantastic Swing Era instrumentals like ‘Make Me Know It’ and ‘Back in Your Own Backyard.’ During the War Years, Ina’s vocal abilities truly blossomed and can be heard on delightful cuts such as ‘What’s the Good of Moonlight’ and the World War II favorite ‘You Made Me Love You.’The devastatingly attractive Ina was wildly popular with the troops, for whom she performed regularly. The third CD on this collection consists of rare radio broadcasts where Ina Ray Hutton and Her Orchestra performed live for troops stationed at various military bases around the United States. These raw, seldom-heard recordings are historically significant and offer a rare glimpse of the times. The Hutton band’s male vocalist, Stuart Foster, is featured on a number of tracks heard here such as the beloved Cole Porter’s ‘You’d Be So Nice to Come Home to,’ and even does a fine duet with Miss Hutton on the song ‘Angry.’ [Item Code: 67042 3-CD: $28.00] 111 FREDDIE SLACK DOWN THE ROAD A-PIECE - THE DEFINITIVE BOOGIE WOOGIE COLLECTION 1940-1955 Strange Cargo (Freddie Slack) • Cow Cow Boogie (Freddie Slack (Ella Mae Morse vocal)) • Cuban Sugar Mill (Freddie Slack) • Bashful Baby Blues (Freddie Slack) • Boogie In G (Freddie Slack) • Down The Road A-Piece (Will Bradley) • Beat Me, Daddy, Eight To The Bar (Parts 1 & 2) (Will Bradley feat.

(Freddie Slack (Don Raye vocal)) • Rockin’ The Boogie (Freddie Slack ) • Beverly Boogie (Freddie Slack ) • Be-Bop Boogie (Freddie Slack ) • Beating With Chopsticks (Freddie Slack ) [1940-1955] 3-CD set. Freddie ‘Beat Me Daddy’ Slack was one of the prime movers - if not the prime mover - of the extraordinary outbreak of boogie woogie which invaded 1940s American Pop music. Every big band climbed onto the bandwagon and every record company scrambled aboard to cash in on the ‘new’ sound with varying degrees of success. Freddie Slack the most gifted of the white exploiters of what was a black folk blues idiom, and there was an authenticity to much of his work which his contemporaries lacked. The craze began back in 1938 when Tommy Dorsey had converted Pine Top Smith’s 1929 piano solo ‘Pine Top’s Boogie Woogie’ into a huge big band hit. Then in 1940 Will Bradley’s Orchestra with Freddie Slack on piano let loose with ‘Beat Me Daddy Eight To The Bar’, a million seller for Columbia, and followed up with ‘Down The Road A-Piece’ again featuring Slack’s immaculate swinging piano. It was time for Freddie to strike out on his own. His first recordings under his own name, for Decca, reprised ‘Pine Top’s Boogie Woogie’ in a hybrid with ‘Down The Road A-Piece’, and ‘Pig Foot Pete’. Then in 1942, with Texan songstress Ella Mae Morse, his band had the first hit for the newly-formed Capitol Records with ‘Cow Cow Boogie’. Although not a hit, the haunting ‘Strange Cargo’, one of his best numbers, became the band’s signature tune. He recorded for Capitol from 1942 to 1952 and returned to the studios for EmArcy in 1955 to cut an LP.

Two superb stereo albums make up the programme - ‘The Second Time Around’ and ‘Love Makes The World Go Round’. Added bonus tracks come from her LP ‘Jane Morgan Sings The Big Hits Of Broadway’. Most of the recordings have never been available on CD before. Not to be missed. [Item Code: 67009 CD: $20.00] 14 F a l l 2 0 1 1 worldsrecords.com (800) 742-6663 14
FRESH SOUND 593 CLARK TERRY MORE + TREAD YE LIGHTLY More (Theme From Mondo Cane) • Hobo Flats • This Is All I Ask • Gravy Waltz • Sid’s Mark • The Good Life • Anthony And Cleopatra Theme • Meditation • The Lights Across The River • Blues Fr’ell • Georgia On My Mind • Free And Oozy • Misty • Sapphire Blue • Sweet Juke • Lilies Of The Field (Amen) • Tread Ye Lightly • Freedom Blues (Personnel: Seldon Powell, Buddy Lucas, Al Epstein, Ray Bryant, Gene Bertoncini, Major Holley, Dave Bailey, Willie Rodriguez) [1963] This release contains the two albums Clark Terry recorded in 1963 for the Cameo-Parkway label. One a sextet, the other an octet. At the height of his powers, buoyant on trumpet and flugelhorn, he adapts to both contexts with typical ease and command and without compromising his instantly recognizable style or musical personality. The equally distinctive giant of the saxophone, Ben Webster, shines with him on the sextet date, contrasting his virile tenor with Terry’s joie de vivre and virtuosity. On these dates Terry and his associates deliver a great set of performances full of warmth, charm and substance - and funky, bluesy, soulful jazz. [Item Code: 66992 CD: $17.00] 631 VARIOUS ARTISTS DOWN BEAT JAZZ CONCERT TOWN HALL, NEW YORK CITY, MAY 16, 1958 A Little Eye Opener • Blues For An African Friend • When Your Lover Has Gone • My Funny Valentine • Willow Weep For Me • Blues Over Easy • Scrapple From The Apple • Rose Room • Give Me The Simple Life • Dougy’s Buggy • Fast Thing In C • Blues Over Easy (Personnel: Bernie Glow, Nick Travis, Ernie Royal, Frank Rehak, Jimmy Knepper, Hal McKusick, Paul Horn, Gene Quill, Jerome Richardson, Al Cohn, Georgie Auld, Tony Scott, Pepper Adams, Dick Katz, Steve Allen) [1958] Where were you at 8:10 p.m. on May 16, 1958? If you were in New York, you should have been at Town Hall for the Down Beat Jazz Concert because that was the scene of the action that night. This concert turned out that way. There was an air of expectancy as MC Jack Lazare introduced Manny Albam’s ‘Jazz Greats,’ and the excitement didn’t flag throughout the remainder of the concert. The two LPs released from this historic concert are now included in this CD set. [Item Code: 67018 CD: $17.00] 632 CANDIDO CANDIDO THE VOLCANIC + LATIN FIRE Peanut Vendor • Takeela • Moonlight In Vermont • Kinda Dukish • Warm Blue Stream • Take The ‘A’ Train • The Lady In Red • Tin-Tin-Deo • Swinging The Blues • Exactly Like You • King Porter Stomp • Jada • It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing • Ain’t She Sweet • When The Saints Go Marchin’ In • Honeysuckle Rose • Sweet Sue • Royal Garden Blues (Collective Personnel: Bernie Glow, Art Farmer, Charlie Shavers, Jimmy Nottingham, Jimmy Cleveland, Frank Rehak, Tommy Mitchell, Jimmy Buffington, Jay McAllister, Hank Jones, Bill Crow, Osie Johnson, Ernie Royal, Ed London, Oscar Pettiford, Marky Markowitz, Al DeRisi, Phil Woods, George Duvivier, Charlie Persip, Machito) [1957/1959] Along with Chano Pozo, Candido was a seminal influence in the exciting marriage of Afro-Cuban rhythms and jazz. Showcased in these two successful albums, the great Cuban conga and bongo player is presented with the opportunity to demonstrate his gifts against orchestral backgrounds provided by Ernie Wilkins and Manny Albam. On ‘Candido the Volcanic’, Wilkins arranged six of the eight tunes, while ‘Lady in Red’ and ‘Moonlight in Vermont’ are Albam’s work. The solo spots are shared by such jazz greats as Art Farmer, Hank Jones, Frank Rehak, Ernie Royal and Charlie Shavers. On ‘Latin Fire’, Albam scored a collection of vintage jazz tunes with notable craftsmanship, taking four voices and, minus lyrics, and using them just like horns. The brass figures benefit from the impact of top section horn men, while Phil Woods plays with originality and vitality. And Candido, the raison d’etre of this set, displays his signature way with Afro-Cuban poly-rhythms and coaxes an infinite variety of sounds out of a single drum head. [Item Code: 67019 CD: $17.00] 633 AL VIOLA GUITARS, VOLUME 1 & 2 When You’re Smiling • Moonlight In Vermont • I’ll Always Be In Love With You • And The Angels Sing • You And The Night And The Music • Blue Skies • Route 66 • Take Me In Your Arms • Sophisticated Lady • Always • The One I Love (Belongs To Somebody Else) • Lover • Lonesome Road • Angel Eyes • It Could Happen To You • I’ll Remember April • All Star • I Cover The Waterfront • Makin’ Whoopee • Sometimes I’m Happy • Wait Till You See Her • Lemon Twist • It’s Easy To Remember • I’ll Take Romance [1959] Of all the adjectives that might be applied to Alfred Ferdinando Viola, perhaps the most all-embracingly apt would be resourceful. A Brooklyn native who developed most of his career as a guitarist in Hollywood, he became known in the mid 40s as an integral part of the popular Page Cavanaugh Trio. Later, in the Fifties, when he joined Bobby Troup’s trio, he worked and recorded with Julie London, Jimmy Witherspoon, June Christy and many other great singers - most memorably Frank Sinatra - in addition to holding the guitar chair with the diverse big bands. That hard-earned versatility is reflected in these late-50s recordings, in which he is a one-man guitar orchestra, performing and arranging all the parts himself. He recorded the rhythm and bass guitars separately on one tape for the basic rhythmic pattern. On another, the amplified or gut-stringed guitars were used for fills (in which the guitars were the equivalent of a brass, string or reed section). The first two tapes were then combined and the single-fingered solos were added on a third tape. Viola put them all together with judicious balancing, and gave each of the twelve standards its own individual treatment, with varied instruments used to provide the special effects. The fruit of his hard work and unquestioned ability is stunningly revealed in ‘The Guitars.’ [Item Code: 67020 CD: $17.00] 634 TONI HARPER LADY LONELY & NIGHT MOOD Lady Lonely • In The Dark Of The Night • He Was A Man • My Heart Is A Lonely Hunter • The Lack Of Love • Blue It Grows • I Love The Blues • You Taught Me How To Cry • The Velvet Hammer • The Other Woman • Nobody Home But The Blues • Busy Blues • Love Has Come, Love Has Gone • River Weep • In The Still Of The Night • Paradise • ‘Round Midnight • The Meaning Of The Blues • Saturday Night (Is The Loneliest Night In The Week) • Night After Night • Just Go • A Sleepin’ Bee • My Ship • You And The Night And The Music • Where Flamingos Fly (Personnel: Jack Sheldon, Conte Candoli, Dick Collins, Stu Williamson, Al Porcino, Vince De Rosa, Dick Perissi, Frank Rosolino, Bob Enevoldsen, Art Pepper, Bud Shank, Bill Perkins, Jack Montrose, Jack Nimitz, Red Callender ) [1959-1960] After the novelty experience of a child vocalist piping her way to fame with ‘Candy Store Blues’ in 1948, Toni Harper grew up into a singer with a warm, polished voice, and the taste to phrase sensitively and authoritatively. The two excellent albums on this set, ‘Lady Lonely’ and ‘Night Mood,’ reveal a singer with more than a fine appreciation of jazz feeling.
