Muchísimas gracias, Jazzbobob. No me canso de ver este vídeo una y otra vez. Me encanta el tema musical y la forma de tocarlo. ¿Alguien sabe dónde se puede localizar esta partitura?
Kenny had one of the most beautiful of all the clarinet sounds, lovely woody timbre in the chalemeau register and underated as a high note specialist, really miss him on the scene.
I was always a great admirer of Kenny Davern, and I think that perhaps he was unfairly referred to as a traditional clarinetist. I vividly remember that when he was in Melbourne, Australia many years ago with Ralph Sutton, he took time out to write out for me the fingerings for the D and the E above top C which, theoretically, are not within the accepted range of the clarinet. Sadly. of all the jazz clarinetists, the great Buddy De Franco is now the last man standing .
I understand your sentiments to be a compliment to Kenny, but there is nothing wrong with being labled a "traditional" clarinetist. And please don't forget folks like Pete Fountain, Tim Laughlin and the like...there's still some of the greats left!! :) I'll be hearing both of them next week.
I didn't wish to demean all traditional clarinetist, but I can't accept that Pete Fountain is a traditional player. He is more in The Goodman mould. I don't know of Tim Laughlin, but I intend to find out.
Lovely stuff! Billie recorded it 1937. Interestingly, the usual key is Ab but Billie sang it in C. Kenny also plays it in C. Did he learn it from Billie's recording?
Beautiful track. I think Billie Holiday recorded this in the late 1930s. Wonderful Kenny Daverne and superb rhythm section. Milt Hilton plays great time with Gus Johnson so understated and Howard Alden playing the changes with such sensitive support. Everybody knows who they are and what they're supposed to do. Great jazz. Thanks for the post.
