EDDIE DURHAM 103rd BDAY ANNIV. WKCR-FM 89.9 RADIO BROADCAST - Wednesday 6PM
Hi all,
On Wednesday from 6PM-9PM (NY) Phil Schaap will host on Columbia University's WKCR-FM 89.9 radio, also available on your computer or i-phone at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/wkcr/ CLICK "LIVE BROADCAST" at the bottom... (check your sync into this station beforehand, call WKCR for info to podcast):
- for the annual EDDIE DURHAM 103rd BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY BROADCAST...(b TX8/19/06 d NY3/7/87)
It will no doubt be quite interesting this year, tying in the incredible Les Paul legacy. Eddie Durham gave a couple guitar lessons to Charlie Christian and Floyd "guitar" Smith, was mentored by Art Tatum and Jesse Stone, was the first to RECORD amplified guitar in 1935 on "Hittin The Bottle" (Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra), obviously on his own contraption (which was NOT trademarked as Les Paul's was), Durham was ALSO the first to RECORD on electric guitar in 1936 on THE KANSAS CITY SESSIONS, produced by John Hammond AND was the first to RECORD "single-line guitar solos" with The Bennie Moten Orchestra 1929-1932. Does anyone have eariler RECORDINGS? Many claim to, but none have surfaced - I'm still awaiting...
Durham also IS the Arranger of Glenn Miller's 1938 infamous Bluebird Recording of "IN THE MOOD" many more fascinating TRUE facts will be detailed by Phil, once again... like Eddie Durham co-wrote and scored the original Count Basie compositions, some of which were re-arrangements of compositions he wrote for earlier Orchestras, before Durham brought Basie into the Bennie Moten Orchestra! It gets better... EDDIE DURHAM also revolutionized TROMBONE and the "non-pressure" technique! So don't miss the broadcast.
So hear it from Dr. Phil Schaap, curator of "Jazz at Lincoln Center" on Wednesday eve, 6PM(NY) - he will not miss the details!
Your comments on the broadcast are welcome!

The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Pat Metheny And John Zorn: A Vivid Sound World
The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.Sarah Vaughan: A New Box Set Revels In Glorious Imperfections
Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.Rudresh Mahanthappa On Piano Jazz
Mahanthappa brings an explosive blend of jazz and South Indian classical music to the studio.Grady Tate On Piano Jazz
Grady Tate began his jazz career as a much-celebrated drummer, backing such icons as Wes Montgomery, Ella Fitzgerald, and Quincy Jones. Tate has since traded in his skins for a microphone at center stage, where he delivers smooth and soulful baritone vocals. With pianist John di Martino, Tate sings "Everybody Loves My Baby" and "Where Do You Start."Woody Herman At 100: 'A Blues Player From His Heart'
He was a soulful reedman, an amazing talent scout for decades and a bandleader of one of the country's most popular acts. Born in 1913, Herman led "Thundering Herds" that were both big draws and well-respected by the likes of Igor Stravinsky. Here are five recordings which still sound fresh today.© 2013 Created by Jaijai Jackson.
