Here are some stories from it that I hope you might <br>find diverting.<br><br>Steve Voce<br><br>When the exquisite coda to the ballad ended, the tsunami of applause <br>raged around the theatre as the tenor player bent to speak to his pianist.<br><br>/?Now /who?s your favourite tenor player?? Stan Getz demanded.<br><br>?Al Cohn,? said Lou Levy. ?Isn?t he yours??<br><br>Zoot Sims famously described Stan Getz as being an interesting bunch of <br>guys. I was lucky to meet the affable one of the pack that day in Nice <br>during the 1980s.<br><br>With an interview in mind I?d arranged during the evening beforeto meet <br>Stan at eleven the following morning outside his hotel. Naturally it was <br>one of the best hotels in town.<br><br>As I stood there weighed down by a BBC portable tape recorder I thought <br>it quite likely that he wouldn?t turn up. But he did, five minutes late, <br>with his very attractive partner and a male friend who he introduced as <br>an acupuncturist ?who does wonders for my back pains.?<br><br>Stan led the way to the hotel?s private beach and paid for me, as a <br>non-resident, to enter. He chose a good spot, pointed to the towels and <br>we all lay down to sunbathe. After about 20 minutes Stan began to talk <br>about music and I started up the Uher.<br><br>He talked first about his early days and of the band he and Shorty <br>Rogers had when they were eleven and how he left school when he was 16 <br>to join the Jack Teagarden band.<br><br>?Teagarden was a wonderful man,? he said. ?The war was on and sidemen <br>were hard to get. But my mother and father were anxious about me going, <br>so Jack had to become my guardian to convince them that I?d be OK.?<br><br>Stan quoted some of the things that Jack had said to him and suddednly I <br>jumped. The voice he used was Teagarden?s and I thought for a moment <br>that the Texan was lying on the beach with us.<br><br>It turned out that Stan, who I knew had a perfect musical memory (he <br>never forgot a tune once he?d played it) was also a brilliant mimic.<br><br>The morning drifted on and the reels turned. I was ecstatic. I left them <br>to it at lunchtime.<br><br>I took the recorder back to my modest hotel and set up the tape. It was <br>then I discovered that the battery had failed making the tape record <br>slow and the playback like a bunch of white mice on a hot plate.<br><br>The back pains turned out to be the lung cancer that eventually killed him.<br><br>Another tenor player, Bud Freeman, was cited by Lester Young as one of <br>his main influences. Bud liked to think of himself as a cultured man and <br>a connoisseur of many arts besides his music making.<br><br>Very much an anglophile, he had always affected an English accent, and <br>was delighted when it became time for his first visit to England in 1960.<br><br>When he stepped off the plane he was met by a Rolls Royce sent for him <br>by the Hon Gerald Lascelles, a cousin of the Queen?s.<br><br>Bud was swept through the beautiful English countryside to Fort <br>Belvedere, ancestral home of the Lascelles family and other royals. The <br>Rolls passed smoothly along the long winding drive with its beautiful <br>poplar trees and up to the magnificent portal of the house, where, as a <br>liveried footman held the car door open for him and others scurried with <br>his luggage, he stepped out onto a red carpet.<br><br>Bud stood and surveyed the scene with satisfaction.<br><br>?Aaah,? he sighed. ?I always new England would be exactly like this.?<br><br><br>A Canadian priest, Gerald Pocock, went to hear his friend Duke Ellington <br>at New York?s Rainbow Grill in the early ?70s..<br><br>'I sat at the bar to wait for Duke and the small band to arrive. Sonny <br>Greer? (a childhood friend of Duke?s who had left the band in 1951) <br>?joined me at the bar and we chatted. Ellington eventually arrived and <br>approached me saying things like "Father Pocock! How wonderful to see <br>you! You look wonderful! How have you been? We must get together!" and <br>so forth.<br><br>Ellington didn't say a word to his old friend Sonny Greer who was <br>sitting next to me. Ellington eventually excused himself, saying that <br>the band needed to start its set.<br><br>Sonny Greer was understandably miffed; how could his old friend ignore <br>him like that??Ellington and the band started to play, and at some point <br>in the set Ellington made an announcement.<br><br>"Ladies and gentlemen, we recently travelled to Ethiopia, where we were <br>presented to their king, the man who has more titles than the Pope, His <br>Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie,Menelik, the Lion of Judah. We were <br>ushered into his his large royal chamber. We were on one side of the <br>room and Selassie was at the other side on his throne, with an assistant <br>standing at either side. Selassie turned and whispered something to one <br>of his assistants. It was very suspenseful. The assistant walked all the <br>way across the room, bowed and said to us: 'The emperor would like to <br>know . . . . . . what the hell is Sonny Greer up to these days?'"<br><br>Sonny Greer broke up laughing,'<br><br><br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <http://ml.islandnet.com/pipermail/dixielandjazz/attachments/20170820/fb48ebb5/attachment-0001.html><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>To unsubscribe or change your e-mail preferences for the Dixieland Jazz Mailing list, or to find the online archives, please visit:<br><br>http://ml.islandnet.com/mailman/listinfo/dixielandjazz<br><br><br><br>Dixielandjazz mailing list<br>Dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com<br><br><br>End of Dixielandjazz Digest, Vol 176, Issue 10<br>**********************************************<br></body></html>
