Don Voegeli
Electrosonic Studio
University Of Wisconsin-Extension

If you want to OD on that 70s "Popcorn" moog synthpop sound… find this box set jammed full of radio/TV production music. Featured above are samples, one from each disc. Voegeli introduces elements from time-to-time that "add texture" to sound that include the human vocal heard in "Remembering". There are also touches of "real instruments" featured on several tracks.

From the back cover (box set): This four record set contains the re-pressing of the first four records in the Oscilations series produced by the ELECTROSONIC STUDIO during the years 1972 to 1975. Many radio stations report that the original records have "walked away" from their libraries over the years or are too worn for further use. Also, original distribution was made before public television stations were being serviced by the ELECTROSONIC STUDIO and therefore this material will be new to TV facilities. I suggest that you dub these records to tape so that the material may have prolonged service to your station.

Red Callender Speaks Low

Speak Low

Red Callender Speaks Low
Crown CLP 5012
1954

From the back cover: It's curious that Red Callender should be among the first in jazz to be featured playing the tuba. He has a solid reputation as a brilliant bassist and jazz composer, and has made his mark on jazz in that role. Actually, Red started playing the tuba long before the bass. He was primarily interested in the tuba when he first started music lessons at the age of 12 in Bordentown, New Jersey. Since that time, Red had a long and varied career as a musician and it would probably be easier to mention who he hasn't played with, rather than who he has. At one time or another in his career he has worked with almost every known name in the music world. He has played with such top bands as Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Billy Eckstine and Jerry Fielding.

The musicians he's chosen for this date are of no lesser reputation than he. There's Buddy Collette on flute and clarinet; Vince DeRose, French horn (Irving Rosenthal on "Nice Day" and "Gone With The Wind"); Bob Bain, guitar; the inimitable Red Mitchell on bass; and Bill Douglas on drums.

Sentimental Journey - Les Brown

Tenderly

Sentimental Journey
Les Brown and his Orchestra
Columbia CL 649
1955

From the back cover: Les Brown began his musical training when he was eight. His father, a baker with musical leanings of his own, started the boys off with piano studies, but Les never felt the keys come alive. He switched to the saxophone soon thereafter, inspired by, of all things, an amateur sax quartet, consisting of his father and three uncles. At odd moments he experimented with his father's sax, and was soon proficient enough to sit in with small orchestras around his home town. Progressing still further, he won a miscall scholarship to Ithaca Conservatory, where he studied harmony, arranging and related subjects, moving on to the New York Military Academy and Duke University.

At Duke he joined a campus group known as The Blue Devils, serving as arranger and sax man. The group loathed a summer engagement in New Jersey, and at is conclusion everyone went back to school except Les, who instead crossed the Hudson into New York City to break into the music business. For a year he scraped together a living making arrangements for publishers and orchestras, keeping foremost in this mind the idea of forming his own orchestra. At length he felt he knew enough about the business to take the great steep, the Band of Renown came into existence.

It was not an easy existence for a long time, but the band slowly and surely built its technique and along with it a growing list of fans. A four-week engagement in Chicago broke the ice, and the group began to be talked about and listened to as something more than just another good orchestra. Singed to record for Columbia Records, the orchestra increased its audience and was shortly on its way into the big time. When there was just one step left to the top, Les recorded Sentimental Journey, and that did it. The orchestra topped all the polls of the year, his records were thenceforth best sellers, and he moved into the select category where he has remained ever since.

And Then Came Adam - Adam Wade

A Moment Of Madness

And Then Came Adam
Adam Wade
Produced by George Paxton
Arrangers: Fred Weismantel and Joe Lipman
Orchestra and Chorus under the direction of George Paxton
Coed SLPC 902

At the tail end of 1959, he (Wade) was just 22 years old, (born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on March 17th, 1937) a former student at Virgina State University, Adam matriculated to the Dr. Jonas Salk Polio Research Center at the University of Pittsburgh to commence his career as a biochemist. To Adam his Utopia was achieved; the lifelong ambition to delve into the world of science was in his grasp. Adam worked side by side with the brilliant and unflagging staff of Dr. Jonas Salk for one year, until one evening a school-teacher friend told Adam he intended making a trip to New York. This friend had written some songs which he wanted Adam to help demonstrate in the Big City to New York Publishers. He alone knew how well Adam could sell a song and with this in mind induced Adam to accompany him to New York.

The singer-lab technician and teacher-songwriter made their first New York stop at Winneton Music a publishing firm in the Brill Building. This is where the proverbial 'big break' turned up. Marvin Cane, Coed Records Vice President, a veteran of the music business (former manager of Vic Damone), listened to Adam perform his friend's songs. Although the songs were the primary purpose of the demonstrations, Adam's vocalizing immediately caught Cane's fancy. He asked the singer if he could sing any standards, whereupon Adam sang more than a dozen of the two-hundred and forty songs he had memorized. Can whisked Wade into the presence of Coed Records President George Paxton, the renowned bandleader, arranger and composer. Paxton had Adam sing a few songs, and within a few minutes Adam Patrick Wad signed his Coed recording contract. – Marty Ostrow

One For My Baby - Eddie Heywood

Caravan

One For My Baby
Eddie Heywood At The Piano
Mercury Records
MG 20632

Personnel: Eddie Heywood – piano, Albert Lucas – bass, David Franci – drums, Donald Lamond replaces Francis on drums on the third session.

From the back cover: This album was recorded in three sessions in a New York recording studio, and was made in both stereo and monaural.

Also from the back cover: Happily, jazz-rooted Eddie Heywood gives evidence of his more soulful origins on One For My Baby, his third album for Mercury. Heywood admirers will recall his memorable stint with the Benny Carter big band (1939 - 1940). His own swinging sextet gained wide credence in the early forties, including an Esquire magazine New Star award for the leader in 1945.
