New Orleans Trad Jazz Camp for Adults
Posted on December 1, 2009 at 12:34pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Wanted to let you know about the New Orleans Trad Jazz Camp for Adults to be held August 1-6, 2010 at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel in the heart of the French Quarter. Please check out our website at www.neworleanstradjazzcamp.com and help us spread the word about this great event to be held in the "Birthplace of Jazz".
On an entirely different note --- Who Dat!
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!!

Duke Ellington: Highlights Of His Twilight
The great composer and bandleader was distraught over the 1967 death of Billy Strayhorn, his songwriting and arranging partner of 28 years. But Ellington took Strayhorn's passing as an impetus, born of necessity, to increase his own productivity. Here are five examples.Chris Potter Quartet On JazzSet
At the Village Vanguard, one flight down from the hubbub of New York City, in a tight space packed with people, we're about to embark on a musical odyssey by sea. Our captain is saxophonist Chris Potter, who's launching his Odyssey-inspired album The Sirens.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.© 2013 Created by Jaijai Jackson.

When i heard about this camp i said immediately " I´m gonig there".
I was in New Orleans 1964 and have been in USA many times since then, but never had time to go back to New Orleans. I´m really looking forwar to join the camp. I have been playing now for 17 years in a band called Alvi´s Dixie Stompers www.alvisdixie.com.
Our bandleader Alvi Leppälä is joining me to the camp.
See you there,

I went to www.bing.com and typed in "Let Me Off Uptown". Somewhere on the list there is a "soundie" of the song on You Tube. For a short time we had video juke boxes called soundie where for your quarter (?) you could see the band playing the song on a movie as well as listen to the record at the same time. They were a failure - they would break with about the second quarter inserted in the machine. But we can watch it today on You Tube. Anita and Roy talk a little, Anita sings some, and then Roy comes back and shouts Anita - - Oh, Anita! - - - I feel something- - - and pretty soo Roy plays a great trumprt solo

Remember that? Anita O'Day and Roy Eldridge singing and Roy playing trumpet with the Gene Krupa Band? What was the song, "Let Me Off Uptown"?
Someone once wrote "If there hadn't been Louis Armstrong it would have been Roy Eldridge." I don't agree with too many writers. I think maybe Henry "Red" Allen.
When I was in college I was lucky enough to to see Henry "Red" Allen and his 5-piece Dixieland Band featuring JC Higgibothem several times laying at a cocktail lounge in downtown Minneapolis. 4"Higgy" ha won the Best Trombone In the Down Beat poll of musicians several years.
I can't read what I am writing.
I'll tell everyone at the Tri-State Jazz Society about your event in New Orleans. Some an afford it. I iknow they go to jazz festivals in California. Go Sasints!

Another drummer? Well a couple ratamacues and a Dixieland two-beat on the tom-tom to you. I grew up in Minneapolis, so - - - But that was last week. I have been a Phjiladelphia Eagles fan since moving East about 60 years ago. So I hope the NFL wins in the Super Bowl GO SAINTS!
