555 MARTY NAU GROUP MOOD EBONY Slipped Disc • As Long As I Live • Smoke Dreams •<br />
Doctor Tee • Three In One • Night In Tunisia • Ballad For Hank • Bossa For Eddie • Blues For Benny • You<br />
Came Into My Life (Personnel: Scott Silbert, Robert Redd, Wade Beach, Tommy Cecil, Steve Novesel, Chuck<br />
Redd, Brooks Tegler) [2010] Critically acclaimed, with great reviews for his last recording due to his Phil<br />
Woods-like skills on the saxophone, Marty Nau proved to all to be the real deal. Here, he presents a multiclarinet-led<br />
recording with new compositions from the great Phil Woods. Nau is a clarinet master (and a<br />
damn good saxophonist) who has recorded a masterpiece. He takes the clarinet through its paces from A to<br />
Z, employing four or five clarinets through the re-recording process—but this is not a gimmick. It works as a<br />
bona fide musical device. A highly active and sought-after jazz alto saxophone player in the DC area, Nau<br />
has performed with the National Symphony, Richmond Symphony, Dizzy Gillespie, Eddie Daniels, Stanley<br />
Turrentine, Joe Williams, Rosemary Clooney, Nancy Wilson, Maureen McGovern, Snooky Young, and many<br />
others. He was also a staple with the famous Navy Commodores. [Item Code: 66344 CD: $16.00]<br />

Ferde Grofe, more) (vocal; a- Billy Murray; b- Vernon Dalhart and Ed Smalle) [1922-1924] The Virginians<br />
was a ten-man, compact version of Paul Whiteman’s Orchestra, that functioned as a “house band” at Victor<br />
<strong>Records</strong> between 1922 and 1924. They made dozens of eminently danceable, peppy, jazzy records, dispensing<br />
what we think of today as quintessential “Roaring Twenties” music, just as that decade was getting<br />
under way. Clarinetist Ross Gorman led the band, and gave it much of its “hot” character with his excellent<br />
playing; trumpeter Henry Busse and pianist/arranger Ferdie Grofe also contributed strongly. Early versions<br />
of many classic tunes are heard on this CD, such as “Memphis Blues,” “Rose of the Rio Grande,” “Farewell<br />
Blues,” “Shine,” “Sister Kate” and George Gershwin’s “Yankee Doodle Blues.” These 88-year-old original<br />
78s were unearthed recently in pristine, never-played condition. You will be astounded by their sonic crispness<br />
and fidelity on this CD, terms not often applied to recordings from the pre-electrical (acoustic) era of audio technology. This is fun, terrific<br />
and highly listenable music, shining brightly from a time almost beyond living memory. Fans of the HBO series “Boardwalk Empire” should feel<br />
right at home with it. We recommend “The Virginians” for dinner parties! Vintage fashion shows! Dances!<br />

2222 ALBERT MANGELSDORFF FRANCOIS JEANNEAU SWISS RADIO DAYS, VOL. 22 Part 1 • Part<br />
2 • Le Lynx • Suite Eolienne (Personnel: Klaus Koenig, Peter Frei, Peter Schmidlin, Francois Jeanneau,<br />
Pierre Favre) [1972•1979] Both Albert Mangelsdorff & Francois Jeanneau were guests on Jazz Live, and<br />
this new release in the Swiss Radio Days series presents some examples of their excellent appearances. The<br />
first time Mangelsdorff appeared, in 1967, the group played a series of standards in the mainstream style. In<br />
1972, however, he suggested that they play two half-hour sets without any specific written material, and the<br />
evening was both relaxed and exciting. A recording of that concert’s first set is included here. Janneau was<br />
the first Frenchman invited for a Jazz Live concert. He sent a series of themes, and said that it was free music.<br />
But the themes definitely had harmony structures, as well as a form. The group was excited by this challenge<br />
of filtering unknown results from very traditional pieces, accepting the composed patterns solely as a general<br />
reference point and not as binding structures [Item Code: 66440 CD: $13.00]<br />
