Born in 1936, so I grew up with this wonderful music. Such a thrill to have so much of this precious material still available on the internet. It brings back so many happy memories. Kind regards to all "big band" fans. Please keep on listening, recommending and enjoying. We will keep this music well and truly alive. England, August, 2023.

I've always loved Helen Forrest's voice.

@vHumboldt77

To high-pitch and nasal for my taste. Other singers of the time, including Helen O'Donnell or Jo Stafford, had more beautiful voices.

@russellwindle3847

@patriciobsas278 To each his own. To me Helen O' Connell had a flat nasal voice which was suitable for swing songs nothing else.. Jimmy Dorsey should have never signed her to sing with his band. I like Jo Stafford's later work.

I love all the female vocalists, Peggy Lee, Doris Day, Billie Holiday. etc in the big swing bands. I think that big band swing should come in fashion with young people. It's just got such a great beat.Just imagine all the rockers dashing out and buying saxophones, slushpumps and clarinets and learning this stuff. Bring dancing back too.

In her day they had band singers who actually could sing. The pathetic attempts now can't even hold a candle. These girls were actually trained and had talent. And so did Artie Shaw, by the way.

@SheridanJazz

3y↑1

@Peter Taylor Agreed. Today's talent, if you want to call it that, are all shouting rock 'n' roll wannabes. None can't approach the subtlety of the Helen Wards, Jo Staffords, Helen Forrests, etc. They were artists and so were the leaders and sidemen they worked with night after night. It's a damned shame that standards have dropped the way they have.

Well, I wouldn't consider the best time of our civilization a time in which 60 million people were killed in a devastating war. It's true, though, and on that I will agree, that many things were in far better state than today, including music, fashion or cinema, no doubt about it.

I’m glad my high school arts textbook covered swing music, cause that’s what it is. It’s art, not unlike the concertos of Vivaldi or the nocturnes of Chopin. It’s modern art, a product of the age of industry; music for the ages.

This will be listened to for hundreds of years to come. Not by the masses, but it won’t be forgotten.

I can't believe the music I've found on YouTube. I've heard of Artie Shaw from my parents who grew up during that era. They were both born in 1929. I love the big bands. I heard a small clip of You're a sweet little headache in the movie The Rocketeer. > love the song. I'm going to see if this album is available on cd on Amazon.

@dw999

One very disturbing note: "Suppertime," which is presented as a breezy song (maybe about a man who has run off) was written, for a 1933 show, as a woman's reaction to the news that her husband has been lynched . It is deeply disturbing that, only a few years after it was written, Shaw thought it was perfectly OK to give it an upbeat arrangement -- shows zero respect for the horrors that black Americans were still experiencing.

@scotnick59

4y↑1

I have often thought that same thing = it is sung and presented in an almost flippant manner

@daveday5507

Funny, I always regarded it as a note of respect for Lady, for whom the arrangement was written.

@vancouverman4313

3y↑2

It's a 1940's pop song, it doesn't mean anything. I'm sure Arte Shaw didn't mean any offence to any Lynchees.

@daveday5507

@Vancouverman Saw, after his trials with Lady, was as aware as anyone just what the inferences were.

@pathetictroll7557

Yes, you are correct. When I hear that recording "Suppertime" I totally cringe!

@vHumboldt77

"Any Old Time" by Forrest stands no chances vs. Billie Holliday's. Holliday gives the tune a swing that Forrest doesn't ever dream of doing (for one, just compare how Holliday attacks the first words of the song...). Even Shaw seems more inspired by Billie singing along. In other words: Forrest follows the tune, while Holliday leads it.

@waldolydecker8118

1y↑1

very true. I believe the tune was given to Forrest to re-recorded after Holiday was hired to sing with Shaw in 1938, but encountered a series of racial incidents and restrictions at every gig the band played to the point that her contract with the band had to be dissolved and replaced with Forrest. Holiday discussed in her AutoBio.

@rdondiego123

Listen again--this time more critically!

@vHumboldt77

@Rich D oh yes, I can listen to it 1,000 times and still believe that Hollyday's is way better.

@rdondiego123

Then we shall agree to disagree. I love anything Billie did...but she was strictly a Jazz singer (perhaps THE greatest)...not a Band Singer...whereas Helen was the prototype. And to my ears Billie sounds uncomfortable and constrained by the 4/4 rhythm required by typical swing band arrangements like this one...which did not suit her style. She admitted this herself to both Helen and Artie before she left to go out on her own. Furthermore, even Artie preferred Helen's interpretation over Billie's--which is why he re-recorded it accordingly.

@waldolydecker8118

@Rich D - Site the reference where we can either hear (audio/video) or read Holiday saying to Helen and Artie before she went out on her own that she felt uncomfortable and constrained by the 4/4 rhythm required by typical swing band arrangements. Also, provide the same type audio/video/written reference of Artie Shaw claiming he preferred Helen's interpretation over Billie's, which is why he re-recorded it.

These two claims by you are unsupported by 40 years of research and study of Big Band jazz and swing and sound like pure opinion of yourself or other writers. Will stand by to receive your source for these quotes attributed directly from the mouths of Holiday and Shaw. If no verifiable source is provided, will conclude your claim is merely opinion.

@Epyprozmic Epyprozmic sorry! I meant to say Carl Ravazza's So Rare

@epyprozmicepyprozmic2689

@Egmont To my shame, I must confess that I knew nothing about Carl Ravazza. And so I am pleased to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know him. As for the melodic similarity, I would agree with you that here it is to a certain extent. Precisely to the extent that songwriters and arrangers go to meet the broadest audience, trying to grasp that common in her soul, which this multi-million soul would like to hear as "its own." In particular, this is especially expressed in the format of compositions: an instrumental verse, followed by a vocal verse, then an instrumental verse with variations and ... usually this is the end. Obviously, this is the structure that is optimal for the perception of a person who is on vacation, or who wants to relieve psychological stress? I'm sure you will agree with me if I say that the opposite is also true: the masses of listeners, like buyers in a hypermarket, willingly or unwittingly subordinate their tastes to the assortment of food offered on the shelves - often without thinking about whether they need this, but is it qualitative, and not harmful, etc. But be that as it may, I find it very revealing the fact that the creations of mass culture can not leave the audience indifferent even decades later. And even listeners on different continents. Thanks again for mentioning Carl Ravazza and my best wishes from the Russian Federation.
