1964

From the back cover: Who are The Pilgrims? Where are they from? What have they done? The Pilgrims consist of Angeline Butler, soprano, Robert Guillaume, tenor, and Millard Williams, baritone.

Angeline Butler is the oldest daughter in a family of six girls. Her father is a "backwoods country" minister in East Over, S.C., where Miss Butler was raised. Angeline was graduated from Fisk University in Nashville and continued her studies at the Juilliard School of Music on a two-year scholarship.

She has been active on the civil rights movement for several years and was one of the first to demonstrate in Southern sit-down protests. Miss Butler has appeared on several important nationally televised news programs concerned with "the Movement." The past year she has appeared as a soloist with the Buster Davis Singers on the "Bell Telephone Hour."

Robert Guillaume is from St. Louis, Mo., and was graduated from St. Louis University. He joined the well-known Daramu Players in Cleveland and performed in musical comedies and opera. He toured the world in 1959 as a cast member of the Broadway musical "Free And Easy."

A year later he starred in Langston Hughes' "Tambourines To Glory." He has been featured in "Fly The Blackbird," "Dwamina," and in Katherine Dunham's "Bambouche." In May 1964, he portrayed the choice role of Sportin' Life in a revival of Gershwin's Porgy And Bess" at New York's City Center. He has been a member of the Robert de Cormier Singers and has performed with them in concerts and on television. He has soloed on the "Tonight" Show.

Millard Williams is a native of Bermuda, where he was reared and was a student of the violin. He attended the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Canada. Upon graduation he appeared on CBC radio shows and at the Canadian National Exhibition, an outdoor theater. He toured the United States and Canada as a member of the Leonard de Paur Infantry Chorus.

The Martha Baird Rockefeller Scholarship afforded him the opportunity to study music in Europe. He subsequently became a member of England's Birmingham Repertory Company, a legitimate theater group. He has had his own radio show featuring his own vocal quartet on the BBC in London.

Since his return to the United States he has soloed at Carnegie Hall and at Town Hall, and has performed frequently in City Center musicals. For the past two years he has been a member of the Metropolitan Opera Studio and of the Metropolitan's chorus. – Linda Solomon

From Billboard - November 7, 1964: Mark the Pilgrims as a folk group to watch. In a field already overcrowded, this young trio brings a fresh style to their work even though it's rooted in the old-fashion singing tradition. The songs are attractively arranged and run the gamut from gospel that's stepped with traditional religious feeling to topical material of the civil rights nature. With proper push and exposure The Pilgrims should go far.

1959

From the back cover: The youngest of Mr. Maltby's five boys received his indoctrination into the underworld night life as a member of Fritz Miller's dance band when he was 16. His introduction to music-making came much earlier. Dick received his first taste of being a band-leader at the age of ten when he tooted a Montgomery Ward cornet in the grade school orchestra at Crandon School in the Chicago suburb of Evanston. (He "led" the orchestra in marching out of school at noon.) By the time he'd reached eighth grade, he'd written his first arrangement: a glorious bit of three-part harmony for saxophones on that all time hit, I Love You Truly. Then came the high school years when the Maltby living room was transformed into a regular after-school rehearsal hall for Dick's own five-piece ensemble. Then came Fritz Miller, a period at Chicago's Royal Frolica Club and then Dick packed his wife, baby son and dog into the family's Model A Ford to start touring the country as a trumpeter with Little Jack Little.

In the years since he barnstormed the country playing for dancers under the baton of Little Jack Little, Dick Maltby has covered every phase of the conducting-arranging business there is to cover. As staff arranger at WBBM in Chicago, he wrote everything from background music for dramatic shows to fanfares for commercials. In his spare time, he squeezed in extra-curricular compositions such as the big Benny Goodman classic, Six Flats Unfurnished, not to mention special clarinet-and-symphony arrangements used in concert appearances by both Goodman and Artie Shaw. Transferring his base of musical operations to New York in 1945, he started his own musical series on radio while, in a multitude of record sessions, he provided the orchestral backing for a dozen or so of the nation's top vocalists. (One noteworthy example: Sarah Vaughan's memorable It's Magic.) There were jazz transcriptions, the best-selling St. Louis Blues Mambo and then an attack of homesickness for the music of his barnstorming-at-dances days. Says Dick: "There seemed suddenly to be a revival of interest in young people for dancing and I wanted to be a part of it." The success of Maltby's dance albums resulted in so many requests to see the band in action that in 1955, Dick organized a traveling band and hit the road again. He's been at it ever since.

There've been some changes since the days when Dick played his first college dates with Little Jack Little. The traveling Maltby group tours via station wagons, sedans and a huge truck-van for wardrobe, library, instruments, etc. The baby who barnstormed in the Model A is now a Senior at Yale. But there are some things which haven't changed. Mrs. Maltby still troupes with her husband when he takes to the road; the college kids still love to dance; and Dick Maltby still loves to play for them.

Dilo (Ugh!) - Perez Prado

 

Monitor Mambo

Dilo (Ugh!)

Perez Prado and His Orchestra

Produced by Herman Diaz, Jr.

RCA Victor LPM-1883

1958

From the back cover: Perez Prado waves the only vocal baton in music.

The urgent, bellicose grunts that appear like punctuation marks in all Prado performances are no haphazard outbursts. These grunts are Prado conducting his orchestra in his own unique and fantastically effective way.

To the uninitiated ear, the Cuban bandleader seems to be roaring out, "Ugh!" But actually he is saying "Dilo!" – a Spanish word meaning "Say it!" or, in the context in which Prado uses it, "Give out!"

So, with his guttural cry of "Dilo!", he urges the brass section to "Give out!", he coaxes the saxophones to "Say it!" and he exhorts a trumpet soloist to make his horn rise and shine.

But Prado's "Dilo!" is more than a conductor's tool. In Prado's throat, it becomes a part of the number. It provides accents, it produces a shock that bursts a pool of calmness, and it sets the emotional tone that is an extremely important element in the excitement of Prado's music. No other conductor but Toscanini has been as forceful and inseparable a part of the music produced by the men under him as Prado.

Not the least intriguing aspect of Prado's musical war cry is how he manages to make "Dilo!" sound like "Ugh!" The exact technique is his own secret, but it would appear to the analytic ear that he accomplishes the transition by removing the vowels and the consonants from the word before exhaling.

But whether it comes out "Ugh!", "Dilo!" or "Say it!", his men know that it means "Give out!" And because they respond by giving out with all they've got, they produce the exhilarating, pulse-quickening music that is always expected from the ebullient Perez Prado – Watson Wylie

1967

From the back cover: Take one young man, 29 years of age, brought up in Cincinnati. His father is a well-known serious composer. His mother is a painter.

Give the young man a background of various jobs while growing up such as: pin boy, disc jacket (glad to see he went straight); singing wrangler in Bandera, Texas; elevator operator (in common with Roger Miller); newspaper boy; on a construction crew; advertising copywriter (glad to see he went straight); credit investigator; nightclub comic. Furthermore, his credits include writing a musical at 18, and while in college writing serious poetry for the literary magazine, while at the same time managing a few singers. Recently on a television quiz program called "I Guess" he walked away with over $4,200. He has written industrial shows for such major companies as General Electric, B.F. Goodrich, Lipton Tea and Quaker Oats, plus music and lyrics for many well-known singing commercials. – Chris Lane, WJJD, Chicago.

From Billboard - June 17, 1967: Ed Henry is a country boy but he's no rube. He know what the score is and he tells it in his own songs with a wry approach that blends laughter and truth. There's a lot of Roger Miller in Henry but enough of his own identity comes through to give this newcomer a chance for a big score.

Antonio Carlos Jobim

From the inside cover: Jobim's music is basically an offshoot of traditional Brazilian forms and its introduction to this country has produced popular hits as well as some imposingly successful jazz albums. On this LP, Jobim plays piano or guitar on all numbers except Antiqua, on which he plays harpsichord for the first time on records. His one vocal – Lamento – is in Portuguese and is characterized by a unique and plaintive lyrical quality. Incidentally, Jobim wrote Lamento with Vinicius de Moraes, who is considered, with Jobim, the co-founder of Bossa Nova.

The inspiration for these songs comes from everyday life (The Red Blouse, Dialogo, for example) and, with one exception, the songs are all Brazil-oriented. The exception is Mojave, a number spawned when Jobim had his first view of our Mojave Desert.

Claus Ogerman is a personal and professional friend of Jobim's. Among the musicians Ogerman leads Domum Romao and Claudio Slon, two of Brazil's best young drummers; Ron Carter, Miles Davis's bassist; and Bobby Rosengarden, whose percussion displays on the Tonight Show have brought him considerable renown. The two trombonists are Jimmy Cleveland and Urbie Green; Green's solos are heard on almost every track. The orchestration is diverse and imaginative – Dialogo, for example, is a duet between Green's trombone and Romeo Penque's bass flute. And one must single out again the percussionists for their aptitude and experience. Claudio Slon, the driving force in this album, has worked with Walter Wanderley, who recorded Summer Samba; Domum Romao with with Astrid Gilberto; Bobby Rosengarden, though North American, has made the percussion aspect of Brazilian music a personal hobby and has become one of this country's leading authorities on it.

I find Jobim's treatment of his material inventive and almost incredibly versatile. Robert Benchley once said of Larry Hart's lyrics that there were unmistakeable signs that Hart had given the matter some thought. Jobim has given what you hear an awful lot of thought. – George Frazier IV

Mimi Warren "Pops" The Classics

Cover Art: Burt Goldblatt

Jubilee Records LP-1018

1956

From the back cover: Mimi Warren, beautiful and talented pianist, was born in New York City and began studying the piano as a child. She displayed such remarkable ability that she was awarded a scholarship and fellowship to the famed Juilliard School of Music, majoring in the classics. Because of her outstanding talent as a scholar, she was asked to join the faculty after graduation. In addition to her teaching chores at the school, Mimi decided to try her hand at playing professionally and accepted an engagement at the Mermaid Room of New York's Park Sheraton Hotel. It was there that she got the idea of swinging the classics and after a supposed two-week engagement that stretched out to two years, the owners suggested that she form her own trio. Mimi took the suggestion and after resigning from her teaching job at Juilliard, she returned to the Mermaid Room with a truly outstanding trio. 

Mimi kept her original idea of swinging the classics and it went over even bigger than before.

The Mimi Warren Trio have gone on to playing the finest hotels, supper clubs and niteries throughout the country.

On these sides Mimi has more than capable backing with Abie Baker on bass and Bob Livingston on drums. Abie Baker goes back to the early days of Blanche Calloway, Claude Hopkins and Osie Alston at New York's famed Roseland Ballroom. He also arranged extensively for Al Donahue, Ted Lewis and Raymond Scott. Bob Livingston worked with the usual complement of name bands but gets his biggest kicks being the percussion section of the Mimi Warren Trio.

From Billboard - January 28, 1956: Mimi Warren, who has worked extensively in clubs and niteries offering her pop versions of the classics, has put a selection of them on wax. Altho this type of rep doesn't seem to offer the greatest chance to show off piano-wise, the musical parodies will no doubt have an appeal. Grieg, Chopin, Liszt, Schubert, Schumann and Rachmaninoff are some of the greats whose work get a modernizing treatment here.

This is a package that's bound to please Her Nibs' fans and stores should note it accordingly. Practically any band is good for a jock spin.

Coral Records CLR 59102

1958

From the inside jacket: To Coral Records; the arrangers and conductors, Manny Albam (for the ensemble) and Irving Joseph (for the quartet); and the pianist, Dick Marx, Eddie Costa, Hank Jones and Johnny Costa, it became evident that what had to be attempted was a fusion of a number of elements, each of them strikingly sufficient to begin with: Gershwin's superb feeling for melody allied with his equally strong understanding of jazz, the blues and folk music; his concert-orchestral approach and his inclination toward the musical-comedy theatre; his continual search for more modern forms of his natural tendency to express them initially in terms of the piano.

No literature existed for four jazz pianos, none certainly for a quartet with a modern orientation. (The First Piano Quartet had played classical, semi-classical and some popular selections – the latter not in a jazz vein, and without orchestration – but that was all.) Half a dozen arrangers insisted that none could be written; even Albam and Joseph were at first reluctant to essay it and then intrigued by the challenge presented to them. Two of the principal problems were the writing of piano parts that would enable the listener to differentiate among the soloists and the selection of soloists whose playing, like that of a string quartet, would be complementary – one man's and another's. Thus, there was kept in mind Dick Marx's lyrical strain, Eddie Costa's bent toward rhythmic figures in the lower registers; Hank Jones' delicate, single-finger style, and Johnny Costa's way with the heavier counter-melodies. As in a chamber group, endless combinations and permutations were devised. The choosing of the songs then became a matter of each man's preferences – those of Albam and Joseph; those of Costas, Marx and Jones.

Albam orchestrated them in a group comprised of the piano quartet surrounded by sixteen strings (violins, violas and cellos), four trumpets, two trombones, two alto and two tenor saxophones alternating on clarinet, and rhythm section of drums, bass and guitar. The result is "A Gallery Of Gershwin." The sense of it is the same that made the novelist John O'Hara say, on Gershwin's death in 1937, "George Gershwin died on July 11, but I don't have to believe it if I don't want to." – Gilbert Millstein.

From Billboard - October 20, 1958: Tho this is not really jazz in the free sense of the word it is nevertheless mighty creamy stuff. The soloists who comprise the quartet are Dick Marx, Eddie Costa, Hank Jones and Johnny Costa. Each has a chance at what might be called disciplined improvising over the big orchestra backing on a flock of great Gershwin items. Stereo-wise the separation element is not played. It's simply a good, big, round sound and it makes for rewarding 3-D listening.

Barrel House Piano - Meade Lux Lewis

 

Fast "A" Blues

Barrel House Piano

Meade "Lux" Lewis

Tops L1533

From the back cover: The strong influence of Barrelhouse Piano on popular music supports the contention that it is a pure form in jazz – an American idiom. The best Barrelhouse players and Meade Lux Lewis has always ranked high among them, have much to say through their pianos. Their music is honest and forthright, without equivocation or sophistication. It is a means of expression and interwoven with the rhythm and melody to perceive a real and plaintive urgency.

Meade Lux Lewis is an expert ivory-tickler whose rapid fingers, sure from thousands of hours of playing from a sitting or standing position under the most adverse conditions, is said to have worn out 14 uprights in his lifetime, and actually had one of them collapse under him as he played.

In years past Barrelhouse players operated principally in saloons and honky-tonks, pianos were seldom the best, and invariably out of tune for the style of playing was vigorous, calling for all a man's energy. No piano played day after day in that manner could possibly stay in tune. Customers and admires would often sit on the piano through the small hours of the smoky night, and frequently drinks were inadvertently spilled into the action.

This, then was the climate of the Barrelhouse piano player when Meade Lux Lewis came on the scene. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1905. From the beginning, it seems, music was as much part of him as the air he created. You might as well have deprived him of food and drink as to shut him out of melody and rhythm. Jimmie Yantey in Chicago served as his inspiration in becoming a night club pianist. Deserved recognition was not overlong in coming. Meade steadily gathered about him a coterie of enthralled devotees who regarded him as the most.

The old Paramount cable realizing that here was a positive find asked him to record Honky Tonk Train Blues. Its success was immediate and tremendous. It brought him national recognition. His career has been a most exciting and varied one, including, together with Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson many appearances at New York's Cafe Society and the mecca of music itself, Carnegie Hall.

I Can't Resist You - Anna Maria Alberghetti

Tenderly

I Can't Resist You

Anna Maria Alberghetti

Capitol Records T 887

1957

From the back cover: Anna Maria's proven ability to entrance critics and public alike is quite a feat. But then, Miss Alberghetti has never failed to amaze audiences. Born in Italy of an intensely musical family, she had crowds cheering her rendition of the difficult "Caro Nome" from Rigoletto when she was only six. At the ripe old age of 13, Anna Maria had sung in leading music halls all over Europe.

In the 1950s she made her American debut at Carnegie Hall, where her coloratura soprano rated rave reviews. A performance on Ed Sullivan's show was the first of many TV appearances for Miss Alberghetti. Soon she was on her way to Hollywood and roles in such films as Here Comes The Groom and The Stars Are Singing. More recently, she co-starred with Dean Martin in MGM's Ten Thousand Bedrooms.

For this album, Anna Maria has the backing of arranger-conductor Van Alexander, whose work for Gordon MacRae and many other singing stars has won him a top name in the recording field. Here, his sensuous arrangements provide a distinctive background that serves to accentuate the irresistible quality of her voice.

Anna Maria Alberghetti is now 21 years old – and a strinking beauty. The distinctive style in this album doesn't represent a "new" Alberghetti – rather, here is a new facet of a very mature and accomplished performer.

From Billboard - May 29, 1965: There's a basic reason for Wayne King's lasting popularity. It's simply that he plays music with an easy, enjoyable beat that can appeal to all. In addition, he can, as he does here, take such current items as "Dear Heart," "Emily," and "People," and give them a beat that's in tune with the times.
