Did I Remember - Billy Holiday 1936
Last night we saw the movie Celebrity, a wonderful movie produced by
Woodie Allen in 1998. Woodie has an unbelievable taste to add music tracks to a film to create the right ambiance. In this film he uses the tune Did I Remember sung by Billy Holiday in 1936.
Billies career had just taken off and it was the first time she had the backing of Bunny Berigan on trumpet with the incredible Joe Bushkin on piano, the fine Artie Shaw on clarinet and Cozy Cole on drums.

Mandy, Make up your Mind - Clarence Williams 1924
In December 1924 jazz promotor, pianist and bandleader Clarence Williams decided to choose two of the most promising young musicians to make a recording . Originally from the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans, he asked Louis Armstrong on cornet and Sidney Bechet on soprano saxophone to join him in this recording session. Bechet, always the creative young man, decided to bring a new instrument, a bass-sarrusaphone, invented in 1856 by Pierre Gautrot to replace the oboe and the bassoon which lacked the power required for outdoor band music. Originally a double reed instrument it was later replaced with a single reed mouthpiece, similar to those used on soprano saxophones. The fingering is like that of a saxophone as well.
In the recording are also Charlie Irvis trombone, Buddy Christian banjo and the vocal is by Clarence wife Eva Taylor, one of the most succesful singers of that time.

Careless Love - Society Four 1999.
Pee Wee Russell, or maybe even Frank Teschemacher, might have liked this. An original approach on clarinet as well on altosax make me enjoy this artist. Yes......... its Simon Stribling.
Just a few months before this session, trumpeter, trombonist, tubaist and player of all reed instruments had moved from Australia to settle in Canada in the Vancouver area. It was my luck to meet this young man and for several years we worked together on music, websites and our Webofjazz.
It was on a grey weekday morning in September 1999 in the jazz club on Main Street in Vancouver. We had a rehearsal/recording session organized with our newly formed Society Four. Our regular guitarist could not make it and we invited Jim Marsh on banjo. We had our regular bassist Paul Bergman and I played the cornet. Now it feels as if it has just happened and then to think that it was more than 10 years ago. Where does time go. Many recordings that I have on a shelf in the basement, I can now share with you via iTunes.

Someday Sweetheart - Society Four 1999
When a young man from Australia in 1998 came to live and settle in Canada I suddenly had a new friend in jazz. Simon Stribling is an incredible trumpetplayer but also plays clarinet, trombone, all the saxes, from soprano- to bass-sax, and tuba as well. For about 4 years I had a man around who influenced me enormously. We started a 4 piece band, which we called the Society Four , this group could be stretched to Society 5, 6 and 7 if needed. Simon was originally the leader/trumpettist from Australias world renowned Hotter Than Six.
Unfortunately we dont have any videos from that period but both of us made many audio recordings.
From the Society Four here is Someday Sweetheart recorded during a private setting in Vancouver in 1999.
The fellows in the band are Simon Stribling on clarinet, Bob Erwig cornet, Don Ogilvie guitar and Paul Bergman bass.

Maxine Sullivan was able to make a total of some 70 tunes between 1981 and 1984 in the Sandvik studios in Sweden. The producer, Gösta Hägglöf, was able to surround her with some of Swedens best jazz musicians. On trumpet Bent Persson, Claes Brodda clarinet, Bjorn Milder piano, Mikael Selander guitar and Olle Brostedt bass. Maxine wanted to record this old 1926 tune by Walter Donaldson specially because it was never made famous through any film or show
