The Folk Connection audience grows!

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Munro) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:33:00 +0000

Hi Folk Connection fans. I got a nice e-mail from Alan Cavadini who owns an auto repair shop in Coon Valley Wisconsin. He says he enjoys John Denver,Mary Chapin Carpenter and Nancy Griffith so we give him a lot to listen to! Speaking of John Denver if any of you are time travellers,please go back in time to Oct 1997 to the Spyglass Country Club where John Denver,after completing a round of golf with friends drove to the nearby airport and took off in an experimental plane with not enough gas.Tell him not to go! It would be nice to have had him around a few more years to write and play some more songs for us. One of my favorite artists and I'm sure one one of your too! Be sure to tell your friends about the Folk Connection...Have a great week,Alan.

Swingin’ sessions on this week’s SONGBOOK AMERICA. The John Allmark Jazz Orchestra from Providence, RI do “I Love You” with a marvelous big band chart; The Jazz Ambassadors of The US Army Field Band recorded in concert, “More Today Than Yesterday” ( the one-hit wonder in 1969 by Spiral Starecase ); Michael Buble swings “A Foggy Day” (in London town); Keely Smith takes on the Count Basie repertoire with a nice, swinging band arrangement of “You Go To My Head”. On the Latin side, Hilton Ruiz’s piano leads this great Latin band with “Mambo Inn”; Laurie Holloway at the piano does “A Dream Of Olwen” in a Latin tempo (originally, it was a score of a 1947 thriller film renamed with that title because of the song’s popularity); Andy Russell recorded “Yours” in 1947, and it sounds just as good today; Ranee Lee, from Montreal, sings Jobim’s “One Note Samba with outstanding Quebec musicians; The Four Lads from Toronto, Canada chose a subtle Latin arrangement in their version of “Tonight” from West Side Story (…and, you’ll be blown away, as am I, by the high tenor voice of the late-Jimmy Arnold on this one!). By the way, Peggy Lee is not related to Ranee Lee. Peggy swings a big band chart on “Come Back To Me” by Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane; but, Ella Fitzgerald with Frank Devol’s Orchestra recorded a quiet “So Rare” in 1957 ; Mel Torme, from his Smooth As Velvet LP does “I Can’t Believe That You’re In Love With Me” West Coast style; Sinatra’s “Ill Wind” from his Wee Small Hours album; Stephan Grappelli and Yo-Yo Ma perform an intriguing version of Cole Porter’s “So In Love” with jazz violin and classic cello. a TOUR DE FORCE not to be missed!! One more track to tell you about: Donald Byrd’s 1963 Blue Note recording of the very moving “Cristo Redentor” was digitalized in 1998. You’ll clearly hear the voices, the trumpet of Byrd, Hank Mobley on tenor, Donald Best on vibes, Kenny Burrell, guitar, Herbie Hancock, piano, Butch Warren, bass and on drums, Lex Humphries. It was an emotional experience of composer Duke Pearson when he first saw the huge white statue of Christ, The Redeemer atop Corcovado arriving in Rio de Janeiro in 1961 then touring with Nancy Wilson. I hope you’ll enjoy it and be moved by it’s beautiful chords. Email the show : russ@bostonpete.com Thanks for listening. =Russ Butler

What a beautiful time of the year - Autumn!  This week’s SONGBOOK AMERICA
features some of the legendary songs and artists who recorded for this Fall
season.  “Autumn In New York” of course, Sarah Vaughn sings her version with
strings and Carl Saunders’ flugelhorn with his big band do a nice instrumental
arrangement of Vernon Duke’s 1935 song.

Roger Williams’ piano and orchestra recording of “Autumn Leaves” in 1953 sold
over 2 million copies worldwide.  It was first a French popular song in 1947. 
On today’s show, hear Roger and a chorus do a sparkling rendition.  Kay Kyser’s
popular “sweet band” orchestra with vocalist Ginny Sims perform “Indian Summer”
by Victor Herbert and Al Dubin.  Victor composed a piano version in 1919, but
not until Al Dubin’s lyrics did the song become a hit - in fact, it was “the
number one music-machine recording for 12 weeks” on the Your Hit Parade / Lucky
Strike radio show in 1939! (Remember “Be happy, go Lucky” and LS/MFT? If you do,
send me an email and we'll talk radio show trivia!!)

Tex Beneke with The Glenn Miller Orchestra recorded “The Falling Leaves” in
1941, song by Mack David and Frankie Carle (the popular pianist and band leader
from Providence RI);  Sue Raney with legendary Los Angeles jazz musicians do
“’Tis Autumn” Alan Broadbent on piano; Kevin Mahogany sings the Barry
Manilow-Johnny Mercer “When October Goes” featuring James Weidman on piano;
Woody Herman’s “Herd” recorded “Early Autumn” Woodrow Wilson Herman on clarinet
and it’s a Fall classic.

Lorne Green recites lyrics and sings in his deep bass voice, “September Song”
and Frank Sinatra sings “Summer Winds” - swan songs to say goodbye to Summer. 
Henry Mancini composed “Blue Satin” and his instrumental is just marvelous, it
actually feels like blue satin. Listen.

Sultry voiced, Jeri Southern sings The Cole Porter Songbook with “Get Out Of
Town”;  Vic Damone’s “Speak Low” is a great interpretation; Diana Krall sings
Billy Joel’s “Just The Way You Are” performed live in Paris and, if you’re off
to Brazil, listen to Oscar Castro-Nevis with “Ipanema Afternoon” and you’ll get
the feeling of being on that beach!

Western Music Time Radio Program

There’s lots of variety on the show this week, from a set saluting some of the big band era’s finest Western recordings, songs that became hit records, to a set of requests for 3 songs recorded between 1964 & 1998. There are some brand new releases of long-lost recordings you’re sure to enjoy, a salute to the late Les Paul, who passed away in August (Les was preceded in death by his wife Mary Ford, many years ago, but he remained active musically into his 90s), and songs from new Sons of the Pioneers, Roy Rogers & Rex Allen re-issues. You’ll hear some gems you may not have heard in a long, long time, so be sure to “set a spell” and enjoy the show!

There are songs from the masters (Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and Reno & Smiley) and some of the best of the post-60s groups as well. We’ll also return to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and we’ll answer a request for songs that tell stories of the Civil War. There’s some great Bluegrass gospel, a classic or two and a few that may soon become favorites if you haven’t heard them before, so pull up a straight-back chair, lean back on two legs (not too far!) and enjoy the music!

Hi Folk Connection fans. More music has been added to the mix this week.(Aug 16,2009)I had a hard time finding Judy Collins " Pity the poor immigrant" but I finally found it and will be playing it for you. One of her best. I've added Dylan's "She belongs to me". A request from Rick and Linda Becker who play the Folk Connection in their antique store in S Berwick Maine. Also I've added some material by the Highwaymen,a 50s folk group. Quality of the recordings is excellent and their harmony is hard to beat.Call the 800-400-1503 request line if there is a group or artist I'm not covering.Have a great week and happy listening! Alan
