I know this post is probably a "shot in the dark" as I have very little information but thought I would give it a try. I am looking for a young girl singer that sang with a band or maybe variuos bands ( I'm not sure) in the early 1940's. Possibly in the Kansas City Missouri area.Could also have been in Ohio or other areas or states.Her name might have been Jean or Jeanette Grover,but I'm not positive.She only sang with bands as a pastime maybe to earn money for her schooling.She did attend business school and also worked as a secretary might have sung with bands just on weekends.She had a sweet disposition and a beautiful complextion I only mention this in hopes that it might trigger someones memory.If anyone knows who this girl might be please e-mail me at...Joal63@cs.com Many Thanks

I am posting this link as I am sure many may find some interest in it. Over the past 5 years, due to my Big Band radio program, I was afforded the opportunity to interview and showcase the lives of most of the remaining big band celebrities that were still with us at the time. From Les Brown & Doris Day to Arite Shaw & Tex Beneke. There are 16 total programs I had produced and they are all on audio CD. My work with these celebrities as well as other venues to keep this great music alive has earned me the distinction of being an inductee into the Big Band Hall of Fame.

Subject: I'm trying to find out about an old trumpet...
Hi, I have just aquired an old "Easy Play" trumpet. I have never heard of these before but it has the lightest, fastest valves of any instrument I've played and is very good to play. All I know about it is that it is US made (I am in the UK), has a narrow bore and is stamped with the no. 237. It appears to be pre-WW2 (closer to WW1, but I'm guessing) and I would suspect it was intended for a marching band. Could you give any guidance as to where I may be able to obtain information?

Subject: Tommy Reynolds Orch.
Tommy Reynolds's orchestra is my favorite of all the Big Bands! I have some 46 tunes of his from issued recordings, transcriptions and broadcasts---small output for a (sometimes) great band. Since I've probably exhausted the existing recordings, I'm trying to piece together a better biography than the short piece offerred by George Simon in his book or by the 3-4 line pieces on a few internet sites. Three things in particular I'm interested in: 1) Is Tommy still alive, or if not, when and where did he die? 2) Are there any other pictures of the band than the one in Simon's book? And 3) I'd love to hear from anyone who can help lengthen my collection or discography (my own list of Reynolds' recording is so much longer than those for sale that I suspect there may be more lurking out there). Thanks!

Subject: Female Singer Needed.
I'm looking for a female vocalist to sing a few background vocals for a few of my tracks. I need someone who can sing and hold notes very well. Somebody who can sing opera or have a sort of "opera" feel would be ideal. If you can't sing opera, but can just "vocalize" a note at the right pitch and hold it would be great too. (Kinda like open-mouth humming.. ;p ) Location is not an issue here as I can merely send parts of the music via email. You'll obviously need some way of recording the vocals, but don't worry if the facilities aren't that great, all you need is a mike and a way of getting it into mp3 or wav format. I'll touch it up here. No chancers! This is not a way to make money as I have none to give you. I can merely offer credit to the vocalist if the tracks are used in any way. (eg. Albums or soundtracks etc.. Good for the resume, no?) Anyone interested should please contact me.

This just in from Ron Hutchinson of the Vitaphone Project.
Those in NYC area, take note!
Subj: FILM FORUM VITAPHONE SHOW OCT. 3RD !
Date: 9/2/02 3:01:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Hi All,
Please spread the word on the super upcoming program on October 3rd at NYC's FILM FORUM at 209 West Houston Street. You can go to www.filmforum.com and then "Coming Attractions" for details and advanced ticket sales.

This program includes 11 wonderful just-restored 1926-29 Vitaphone jazz, dance, comedy and vaudeville shorts. I saw the program in August when it premiered at UCLA and I can vouch that this is the most entertaining Vitaphone show EVER. Also on the bill is Jolson's MAMMY ('30) with recently restored Technicolor musical sequences.

Of particular note to vintage music fans is the only film appearance of The Indiana Five, with singer Grace Johnston, the bizarre Chaz Chase, Waring's Pennsylvanians in EARLY 1927 with even more performing than playing, the great Roy Fox orchestra, awesome Eddie Peabody, the hot native band in HAWAIIAN NIGHTS, and the all girl Harry Wayman's debutantes. But the vaude stuff is equally awesome. Unknowns Jack Osterman and especially Mayer & Evans will have you in stitches.

All in all, a not-to-be-missed show. Three showings. Please spread the word and try to get your tickets early!

The program....
BILLY JONES & ERNIE HARE, THE HAPPINESS BOYS (1927)
WARING'S PENNSYLVANIANS (1927)
GUIDO DEIRO, WORLD'S FOREMOST PIANO ACCORDIONIST (1928)
EDDIE PEABODY in 'BANJOLAND' WITH JIMMY MASIEL (1928)
KRAFT & LAMONT in 'RARIN' TO GO' (1929)
HARRY WAYMAN'S DEBUTANTES (1928)
JACK OSTERMAN in 'TALKING IT OVER' (1929)

Subject: HAS ANYONE COME ACROSS MY DAD'S MISSING BIG BAND CHARTS. My late father was Big Band Leader and Trombone Player Eddie Curtis. Sadly, after dad died in 1993, my mother asked a former band member, saxophonist Roger Ayres from Tring in Hertfordshire, to find a worthy home for dad's 400+ Big Band arrangements. It was conditional that the charts went to a school or youth band, were not sold commercially, or the library be broken up. Roger Ayres told my mother he had a school that wanted them, but they had little money to offer. She allowed Roger Ayres to purchase the library on behalf of the school? at around just £1 per arrangement. She also included dads set of custom made music stands. Pleased that the library would benefit youth, she was happy, she had no reason to doubt the word of Roger Ayres! A year or so ago, I decided to re-form dad's band, with my mother's consent I contacted Roger Ayres to see if I would be able to get access to dads old charts. He was surprisingly evasive and non cooperative, refusing to reveal the name of the school that had them! We became suspicious and started making enquiries, through local newspaper publicity we have since found around half the titles, without any help from Roger Ayres who refuses to comment to anyone, however, many of the arrangements are either photocopies or incomplete, made up of spares from the original sets. They are at a school, but around 200 or so are still missing, the current staff at the school do not know how the arrangements originally came to be there. They have however been wonderful to me and have given me full access to what they do have. Some of the missing arrangements were in my dad's own writing, some commercial, some handwritten photocopies by unknown arrangers, but mostly well known titles, a very mixed bag! Some are of extreme sentimental value, for example, 'Debbie's Waltz' written especially for me and completely original. I would dearly like to find them, just to know what happened to them would be a relief in itself. Someone out there must know where they are and who has them. Have you played them at any time? Have they been mentioned to you? Have you seen them advertised? Some had his name on them, either hand written or as an ink stamp, many had small rectangular yellow stickers with the library numbering handwritten. Some had fluorescent orange stickers with the numbers handwritten on them. It is possible they are in Bucks or Herts or nearby. If you have any thoughts at all, please contact me, I will be most grateful for any leads to finding them. eMail: Thank You. Debbie Curtis.

Liebe Jazzfreunde, sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
Nun wird es langsam Zeit den neuen Termin bekannt zu geben. Das wichtigste zuerst. Wir haben dieses Jahr im Pavillon ausnahmsweise andere RSume! Und zwar nach hinten raus. Der Eingang ist dann vom Andreas Hermes Platz.

Journey into Jazz: Auch dieses Jahr wird wieder ein solcher Abend als Treffpunkt nach der B�se stattfinden. Wir haben uns diesmal als Thema Django Reinhardt und den Swing auserkoren. Einen griffigen Titel haben wir zwar noch nicht dafnr, aber schon so etwas wie legitime Nachfolger von Django und Co. in Frankreich / Belgien gefunden. Das Minor Swing Trio evtl. auch als Quartet o. Quintet ( noch nicht alle Details stehen fest ), wird seinen Live-Beitrag liefern.

Der aktuelle Stand ist auf der Internetseite oder einfach am Tag der B�se abzufragen. Wer sich vorstellen kann zum Thema noch etwas beizutragen, m�e sich bei mir melden. Wie immer sind alle Vortragsformen offen und willkommen ! Soviel ist sicher, es wird spannend und swingen

Der Unkostenbeitrag fnr Besucher wird durch die Euroumstellung etwas gnnstiger. Statt 3,07 einfach 3 uro.

Fnr Sammler und Aussteller werden Hotelempfehlungen mit extra vereinbarten gnnstigeren Tarifen organisiert. Ein Hotel nah zur B�se und ein Hotel nah zur Abendveranstaltung. Falls gewnnscht k�nen wir einen Anfahrtsplan, mit Hotelempfehlung zuschicken.

Alle Informationen sind natnrlich auch auf der Webside der B�se nachzulesen!

Wir freuen uns auf Ihren / euren Besuch eine interessante B�se und Journey into Jazz.

Hi: I'm Jack Fortes, 77, a new resident in Woodstock, Ga. My big band experience began in 1940 in high school in Orlando, Fl. Played a little drums before and after service in World War II, but just nuts about big band music most of my life. In retirement, over a period of seven years writing and rewriting, I published a book, :The Band Leader" (Xlibris. com also Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com). Summary: a group of kids in high school in California in 1939, play for school dances; guys go to college and the early 1940s college dance band scene is covered. The group gets bold behind leader Pete Delaney and go on the road playing one-nighters along Route 66. Every word, every song is for big band lovers. Historical towns along Route 66 are covered as the kids play. All old folks like me and young guys playing the wonderful big band books will like the book.

I already have found a great source for classic charts but still need some classics i.e. "Fly Me To The Moon" Sinatra-Basie style, etc. If you would like me to send you a CD for you to hear me sing, or know of a source for charts or transcriptions please e-mail me at musicomedian@iwon.com Thanks and I hope we can swing together soon!
