Borderline by Ray McKinley And His Orchestra released in 1955 on Savoy

Ray McKinley (June 18, 1910 – May 7, 1995) was an American jazz drummer, singer, and bandleader. He played drums and later led the Major Glenn Miller Army Air Forces Orchestra in Europe. He also led the new Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1956. - Wikipedia

Top swing tunes featuring:

Alto Saxophone – Ray Beller
Arranged By – Eddie Sauter
Clarinet – Peanuts Hucko
Drums – Ray McKinley
Guitar – Mundell Lowe
Piano – Lou Stein
Tenor Saxophone – Bud Freeman
Trombone – Vern Friley
Trumpet – Charles Genduso, Nick Travis, Rusty Dedrick

Hangover Square is by Eddie Sauter, so it is not, I believe, from the 1945 adaptation of the Patrick Hamilton novel but instead only shares the title.

Um pouco de jazz na rua!
Começando aqui nesta nova rede, postei até agora algumas fotos antigas, de quando comecei a fotografar as ruas e amar isto! Escolhi o preto-e-branco, mas meu trabalho é principalmente em cores. E isto é o que virá a partir de agora! 😊😉

Jazz in the street!
Some old pictures that I took when I began shooting the streets and loving it: that's what I've been posting so far, choosing black and white. But my work is mainly in colors. And that's what you'll see here from now on! These are the last bnw photos here. 😊😉

São Paulo, Brasil, 2017.

#Jazz #MosaicRecords

Mosaic Records (the premier re-issuer of old jazz classic sets) is now accepting pre-orders for a new 11 CD set of V-Disc (V for Victory) recordings produced between 1942-1949 for the US military.

Since the US govt ordered that all of the masters & stampers be destroyed at the end of the program, Mosaic re-mastered the recordings from available 78s (& in some cases from masters that were saved from destruction).

I just ordered it & haven't heard all of it yet but clips from the set are provided in the link below. Since this music was produced during the hey-day of #SwingJazz (prior to post-war #Bop) that's what you're going to hear on this set but it's music that no one except your parents or grandparents ever got to hear when the music was originally produced & aired.

Some great jazz artists of the era are listed in performing on these CDs, including but not limited to #LouisArmstrong #ArtTatum #BenWebster #BobbyHackett #HerbEllis #JackTeagarden
