Many thanks for this one guys.
ReplyDeleteHave a great new year :)
Thank you for this Ned Newitt and Rodney, Looking forward to this one, I've never really listened to Freddy Gardner but the musicians involved attracted me.
ReplyDeleteBoy, this is British musical history. Freddy was unique- still is- and it is good to see him remembered here. Thanks guys.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably nothing like the recordings Freddy Gardner made with the Peter Yorke orchestra in the 1940s, so it should make for interesting listening. And take a look at the musicians involved who later made big names for themselves in the music {not necessarily jazz) field: Ted Heath, Paul Fenhoulet, George Chisholm, Frank Weir...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ned.
many thanks for the entry on Britjazz of a truly great Britjazzer. although he also had a non-jazz hat. the (e) sessions are not Norman Payne but Tommy McQuater.
ReplyDeleteI did end up with Tommy McQuater's name spare at the end but he is not listed on the back cover for the (e) tracks and not in Tom Lord either. Where does the info come from? Is it confirmed? I can't change the upload now but will change on the front page if you are sure. I see Tommy is supposed to have identified himself as on those two tracks.
DeleteI believe it's in Godbolt's notes to the 4CD box 'jazz In britain' 1919-1950. he corrects his own -- or Rust's -- error in his book of the same title. the info is reportedly from Tommy himself. This can also be confirmed aurally for Payne and McQuater had very different styles.
DeleteAmended above - thanks for the correction, zoot.
DeleteNot just excellent musical history but highly enjoyable in its own right. Many thanks, Rodney and Ned Newitt.
ReplyDeletehttps://archive.org/details/FreddyGardnerOrch-01-12 has 16.12.35 'China Boy' and one side from 7.3.36 'Japanese Sandman'. the rest is in his pop style. special thanks to Ned for the extra sides.
ReplyDeleteWe have these two tracks in a compilation album to be posted here soon. It's called "Stars Of British Jazz" and comes to us via the good offices of Dave.
