Stars On Defence (Toppyjazz 353)

 This week we have the music of Si Zentner (1917-2000) and his big band. 

Si Zentner and his band was voted Best Big Band for 13 years by Downbeat! 
In 1962 he got a Grammy Award for Up A Lazy River.
 Strange we couldn't find an audio version! Here's another video: 
 Raymond Scott (1908-1994) is next in line with his sometimes weird music.
 But he was a pionier in electronic music. And mr. Scott had a sense of humor!
 Listen to his Dinner Music For A Pack of Hungry Cannibals!
 At last a great surprise OFFICE OF CIVIL DEFENSE with Stars For Defense no. 319 and 320 with Buddy Greco and Ray Bloch. We air the whole no. 319.

Ella Fitzgerald Live (deel 2)(Toppyjazz273)

In onze eerste uitzending over Ella Fitzgerald (1917-1996) in 2008 namen we u mee naar de Songbook Albums van Ella. 
 We kregen van een Toppyjazz fan maar liefst 97 albums binnen van Ella. 
Onze discotheek telt nu 239 lp's en cd's, dus we kunnen even vooruit. 
 Daarom deze week een greep uit de LIVE albums van Ella Fitzgerald: Zoals misschien wel haar beste "live"album en wel Ella Fitzgerald in Berlijn uit 1960. 
Haar improvisatie van Mack The Knife, (nadat ze de tekst vergat), is buitengewoon.
 Er zijn weinig vocalisten die haar dat kunnen nadoen.
Om maar niet te spreken over haar uitspraak: haar engels is altijd goed verstaanbaar! 
 VIDEO : Ella Fitzgerald, Buddy Greco en Danny Kaye (1966)  
 PLaylist : (all selections Ella Fitzgerald vocal)
 01 - Mack The Knife - Berlijn 1960 (Paul Smith, piano- Jim Hall, guitar- Wilfred Middlebrooks, bas - Gus Johnson, drums)
 02 - How High The Moon - Berlijn 1960 
 03 - Mr. Paganini - Amsterdam 1962 (Lou Levy Quartet)

 10 - Tenderly - Ella & Louis Armstrong - 1956
