New Black Eagle Jazz Band at the Sherborn Inn, July 10, 2014

Posted on July 18, 2014 by admin

The New Black Eagle Jazz Band

Tony Pringle cornet /leader, Billy Novick alto sax/clarinet, Stan Vincent trombone, Peter Bullis banjo, Ross Petot piano, John Turner string bass, (from Roomful of Blues ) and their original drummer 43 years ago – Pam Pameijer.

Pam Pameijer

The powerhouse group had just returned from traveling 700 miles at several concerts, and was in rare form. Old Home Week, that’s what it felt like, at the Sherborn Inn. It brought back memories of the band when Don Kenny was on string bass, and Pam on drums. Pameijer’s magical drumming motivates the whole band. Traditional Jazz at its best!

Supple, sweet When I Grow Too Old To Dream, barn burning Weary Blues. Tony learned the next tune when he was with the Special Delivery Band from Scotland – Ross Petot was featured on Jubilee. No charts, full 32-bar solos, gave him a chance to show off his spontaneous creativity.

John Turner backs Ross Petot on Jubilee

Peter’s banjo and red sox haven’t changed in 43 years.

Luis Russell wrote Give Me Your Telephone Number back in the 20’s or 30’s. Back to back blues – Slow Blues and Steal Away, the plink, plink, plink of Peter’s banjo maintained that beat behind Billy’s clarinet.

He gets one solo on banjo, usually towards the end of the evening- dynamic Shake It And Break It.

It’s All Right With Me, Turner’s string bass hit every note. Then they turned to a march, Blue Bell’s Goodbye, from the Al Jolson Story.

Stan Vincent fine trombone

Tomorrow Night is a New Orleans tune, circa WWII, that became popular in the 50’s, Tony took the vocal.

Marvelous trombone by Stan Vincent, also an original from the band.

Billy was featured on glorious alto sax on Dreaming Away. The band bolstered him on fabulous on Chelsea Bridge. Pleading The Blues.

They’ve just returned from their 39th consecutive appearance at the Mount Gretna Playhouse, followed by a Jazz Service where they played a hymn written in 1929 by Albert E. Brumley, I’ll Fly Away.

They played many of their old tunes, familiar sounds to those of us who were there in the early Wicket days. But they will be playing some new tunes – Tony says they will keep digging, “There’s some nice stuff out there.”

They closed as they did at the Sticky Wicket, with a melodic, mellow Brahms Lullaby.

The New Black Eagle Jazz Band has found a home at the Sherborn Inn, 33 North Main St. Sherborn Massachusetts 01752 on the 2^nd Thursday of every month. (800) 552-9742 Stop in and rekindle your happy memories too!

NOTE:

Their old home, The Sticky Wicket was built by a Business Teacher from Marlboro, and featured English Beer – which is why Tony Pringle settled the New Black Eagle Jazz Band there in 1971; English beer on tap. We had nineteen years of great music there. We were saddened to learn that we lost Foster Yeadon on June 8^th.

Blue Horizon Jazz Band with Paul Monat at the Sherborn Inn July 22

Posted on July 15, 2014 by admin

Blue Horizon Jazz Band with Paul Monat and Al Ehrenfried

The Blue Horizon Jazz Band presented a romping New Orleans take on Sidney Bechet’s jazz and blues, with the five-piece group working together in a true spirit of cooperation. We were surprised to find cornetist Paul Monat substituting for trumpeter Jeff Stout, who has had a death in the family. Al Ehrenfried, string bass, came out of retirement for this evening.

It was a five-piece band, with Stan McDonald and Paul Monat cornet, holding the front line with the superb backing of the rhythm section, pianist Ross Petot, Al Ehrenfried bass, and Steve Taddeo drums.

They kicked it off with the New Orleans sound with Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland, and continued with Ross Petot’s robust piano intro to What Is This Thing Called Love.

Ain’t Gonna Give Nobody None of My Jelly Roll, Bechet’s I Remember When, Everybody Loves My Baby. The two were in sync, twining around each other. Stan started Lastic on clarinet, with Paul playing a long, sustained, note. The two make some powerful music together, drums and string bass maintaining the Traditional Jazz Beat.

When You and I Were Young Maggie. Bechet’s Blues In The Air, nice blues lead by Stan McDonald.

Ross was featured on Lucky Day, backed by string bass and drums.

Ross Petot Featured

It was Steve Taddeo’s birthday. Monida surprised him with a cake while the band played the Birthday Song.

Happy Birthday, Steve!

Stan and Paul in unison on Bechet’s Marchand de Poisson. Bechet’s Fantasy, Paul slipped in some of his mentor, Wild Bill Davison.

When I Leave The World Behind, had Stan on vocal, great soprano sax; continuing on Lonesome Road. Getting into overtime now with Bechet’s Dans Les Rues D’Antibes, with Al playing a superb bass solo, backed by Steve’s adept drumming.

It was an unforgettable evening. The Blue Horizon Jazz Band will return as usual on the 3^rd Tuesday of month, August 19^th with more surprises.

Paul Monat will be in New England until September, when he returns to Florida. Stay tuned.

Dave Whitney All Stars with Christine Fawson at the Sherborn Inn June 10, 2014

Dave Whitney All Stars with Christine Fawson, in a Tribute to Louis Armstrong at the Sherborn Inn with Dave Whitney trumpet/vocals, Christine Fawson trumpet/vocals, Ted Casher reeds, Dan Gabel trombone, Reid Jorgensen drums, Justin Meyer string bass, Steve Dale piano, Jon Wheatley guitar

Louis Armstrong had many “All Star” groups in his lifetime, but Dave Whitney concentrated on tunes that began in the early to late 20’s. Dave’s All-Stars were marvelous right from the Sleepy Time Down South kick-off; Jon Wheatley’s guitar in Back Home in Indiana, Royal Garden Blues that Louis played from 1947 into the 1960’s. Front line enjoy playing together. Music affects emotions; this music makes people happy.

Dave & Ted complain Bucket’s Got a Hole In It videos by Harold McAleer

Ted Casher

Ted actually played with Armstrong, when he was at Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts. Reed players Joe Darensbourg was off playing Ski Ball at the arcade when the band was ready to start. Louis looked around and said “Hey, wanna play?” Ted joined him on stage. Later in the band room, they found that Joe had won a Kewpie Doll.

To brighten the evening, Christine Fawson was introduced on trumpet and vocal. Dave and Christine make beautiful music together, the kind that brightens your day, whether they’re playing trumpet or singing.

Canal St. Blues, Christine is Louis, and Dave is Joe “King” Oliver.

Dave and Christine complement each other

Dave and Christine vocal – You’re Just In Love

Stomping at The Savoy, Reid Jorgensen made use of every instrument on the drums.

I Love You Samantha, Dave vocal with Justin Meyer and Jon Wheatley

Louis did a German Folk Song called The Faithful Hussar. It originated in Dusseldorf. Marvelous guitar by Jon, and string bass solo by Justin. This is Louis’s version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_j1LWUSwgQ

Dan Gabel really gets into Satchmo/New Orleans mood with St. James Infirmary Blues

Love is Just Around The Corner – a salute to bass players, with rhythm section.

Justin Meyer in tribute to bass players

Jon was featured on George Van Epps’ Tango El Bongo, Reid drumming with his hands.

Swing That Music was WILD!

In his Big Band of the 30’s, Louis played The Saints. Dave did the vocal, naming each member of the band, with Christine harmonizing on trumpet.

They closed with Sleepy Time Down South, fantastic trumpet solo, backed by rhythm section.

The whole evening was delectable! Everyone left with happy hearts and smiling faces.

Riverboat Stompers at the Sherborn Inn, July 8, 2014

Posted on July 9, 2014 by admin

Riverboat Stompers at the Sherborn Inn, July 8, 2014

Larry Baxter trumpet/vocals, Steve Straus clarinet/soprano sax/vocal, Frank Batchelor trombone, Jimmy Mazzy banjo/vocals, Phil Hower piano, Pierre Lemieux tuba, Rich Malcolm drums.

The Riverboat Stompers played some serious Dixieland Jazz at the Sherborn Inn; great front line with excellent rhythm section, feeling and loving the music. They hit it off hot and heavy with Dark Town Strutters Ball, Jimmy on vocal.

Jimmy sings most of the vocals – good reason to come hear this band! Jimmy was at his best after returning from the America’s Jazz Fest in Olympia Washington.

Exuberant front line; they love playing together, with lighthearted jesting. They all played kazoo on Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone.

Larry Baxter, Steve Straus (leader) Frank Batchelor

Larry Baxter’s trumpet carried the melodies, and some vocals. Heartfelt lyrics on St. James Infirmary and in perfect French he sang C’est Si Bon, with Jimmy responding. That was a first for us! Baxter added some of his own made-up stanzas, surprising even the band. There were many, but we only caught the words ‘strawberries and cream’.

Straus generally plays warm and vibrant clarinet, but took out the soprano sax on Blue Turning Gray Over You, His only vocal was Lulu’s Back in Town. Frank Batchelor’s euphonious trombone was especially prominent on Toot, Toot, Tootsie.

They continued with a harmonious medley with Jimmy supplying the lyrics, Five Foot Two, Four Leaf Clover, Toot, Toot, Tootsie, Baby Face.

Phil Hower mesmeric pianist, he listens intently, fills in the open spaces, and lays down a solid foundation for the soloist. Marvelous piano interludes complemented Jimmy’s vocal on Rosetta.

Bourbon St. Parade, Jazz Me Blues, Muscrat Ramble, Dr. Jazz, were HOT! Little known sweet song – Our Love Was Meant To Be – was written by Fats Waller. Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone, I’m Confessing That I Love You. All backed by top-notch base-line from Pierre Lemieux on tuba and a captivating beat by Rich Malcolm on drums.

Pierre Lemieux and Rich Malcolm

It was excellent Dixieland from beginning to end. They closed with a soulful vocal by Larry, We’ll Meet Again, starting in very slow waltz-time, ending in high-spirited, energetic polyphonic jazz!

Avid fan – piano player’s wife.

The most enthusiastic fan was Sue Hower, motivating the band from beginning to end, clapping to the beat and shouting out her support.

Hats off to all the musicians’ wives – they deserve a gold medal!! The men couldn’t do this without them.

The Riverboat Stompers now have a new web site created by Frank Batchelor that will have all their upcoming performances and booking info. Check it out! http://www.riverboatstompers.com/

Eli’s All Stars with vocalist Gabrielle Goodman at the Sherborn Inn, July 3, 2014

Posted on July 7, 2014 by admin

Eli’s All-Stars at the Sherborn Inn

Bob Winter piano, Eli Newberger tuba, Jeff Guthery drums, Ted Casher clarinet/tenor and soprano sax, Bo Winiker trumpet/flugelhorn, Herb Gardner trombone/piano,

Threatening storms, Hurricane Arthur coming up the coast, the upcoming holiday, nothing deterred revelers at the Sherborn Inn who came to hear Eli’s All-Stars. It was also Bo Winiker’s birthday, and the whole Winiker Family was here, including Mom.

The band celebrated Louis Armstrong with Strutting With Some Barbecue, and then a blues, Basin St. Blues, Bo leading on trumpet with band playing counterpoint.

Eli joins Bob at piano

Eli joined Bob at the piano, and the beat quickly turned to Jump ‘n Jive; then back into a slow beat, Jeff soft drum roll, front line closing with a slow, joint wa, wa, wa. Marvelous!

Ted Casher’s tribute to Louis was a raucous vocal on his 1930s novelty tune, I’ll Be Glad When You’re Dead, You Rascal You.

Eli introduced vocalist Gabrielle Goodman, a jazz, R&B, classical and gospel vocalist, and Professor of Voice, with a four octave voice range, who teaches at Berklee. “Happy 4th of July, even if is the day before” she said, and began with Bring It on Home to Me a song by American singer-songwriter Sam Cooke, released in 1962. The song has become a pop standard, covered by numerous artists of different genres, but none could compare to this lady. She had us captivated from the first note!

Route 66 – Gabrielle had us clapping in time before she even uttered a note. She ruled! Scatting like Sarah Vaughn, she lead the band with her numerous changes in tempo. She asked “Who is deeply in love?” and Carolyn Newberger’s hand shot up. Gabby responded with a silky, smooth, My Funny Valentine, with Ted’s emotional tenor saxophone, and Bo Winiker on smoky flugelhorn. Heartrending!

She took us on a trip on a familiar special train that goes from lower Manhattan to Harlem, with a passionate, hard-charging romp on The A Train. The crowd was enthralled and responded with heavy applause.

Eli announced the next song was written by a trombone player (heavy groan here). But the trombone player was Edward “Kid” Ory and this was his Muskat Ramble.

Herb Gardner took over for his fine rendition, then Eli let loose with a turbo charged tuba, with backup from pulsating piano and drums.

While the band took a break, Herb Gardner took over the piano with a novelty tune about New Hampshire’s “Summer People” – “They’re only here until Labor Day, then Back in October for the foliage.”

Back Home Again in Indiana featured Bo on full, rich, open flugelhorn.

Louis Armstrong used to begin his All Stars with another tune that Bo has been working on. Herb did the arrangement; Bo featured on trumpet with a freewheeling rendition of Cornet Chop Suey. Fabulous!

Gabby returned with Taking a Chance on Love, a song she recorded on her second CD. She sang this as a ballad in honor of the 4th of July. It was one swinging ballad!

She asked if she could change the schedule of tunes, in order to sing Misty, just her and Bob on piano. Lovely! They have often worked together; he’s a great friend and pianist for the Boston Pops. Gabrielle has an impressive background; her expertise spans the entire jazz era up to modern jazz.

Bob Winter was featured on piano with Someone To Watch Over Me, Bo adding soft, mellow flugelhorn.

Gabrielle sings an awesome America The Beautiful

To celebrate our country’s birthday, Gabby contributed a profound, soulful America the Beautiful. It left the audience in awe!

Eli requested a ‘change of pace’, introducing Carolyn Newberger on washboard. Carolyn played washboard years ago in a café they started when they were Directors at the International Residence Hall at Yale. The washboard had been stored in the attic for 50 years, until Eli found it.

Now Carolyn is merrily playing washboard with many of Eli’s bands; usually Coney Island Washboard Roundelay; but not this time. This time she delighted the audience with spoons on washboard on James P. Johnson’s The Charleston.

Carolyn sketching musicians

When she’s not playing washboard with the band, she’s pencil-sketching the musicians. She is an accomplished painter and has had three showings this month, one at Framingham’s Danforth Gallery where she received an award. Tonight she did a couple of sketches of Gabrielle, and one of Bo.

Eli’s All-Stars surprised us by closing with When The Saints Go Marching In, and they marched, up and down the aisles – even Jeff with his snare drum, ‘The Saints’ went marching in.

Bo leads parade up the aisles

Bill Winiker takes photo of parade

Glorious way to end this celebration of our Country and Bo Winiker’s birthday!

The All Stars will be back here at the Sherborn Inn on the 1st Thursday of every month, next is August 7th. They will be at Barrington Stage Company, Mr. Finn’s Cabaret, Blatt Performing Arts Center, 36 Linden St., Pittsfield, MA on August 24 and 25. They will also kick-off the 32nd Highland Jazz Series in Newton, MA on September 13th.

Gabrielle continues teaching at Berklee. We hope she’ll be back!

Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks – special afternoon at Newport Jazz Fest

General Admission tickets are available. No reserved spaces or chairs provided.
See below for advanced tickets. $47 plus charges. Doesn’t include parking.

From George Wein, June 27, 2014

Dear Jazz Fan,

“Emerging Artists” is one of the principal themes of the Newport Jazz Festival. The lineup features many emerging talents, such as Darcy James Argue, Miguel Zenón, Rudresh Mahanthappa, the swinging Mostly Other People Do the Killing and the quickly ascending vocalist Cécile McLorin-Salvant.

We have also asked Vince Giordano and his Nighthawks to do something very special on Friday afternoon. Here’s a little bit about that program.

Louis Armstrong was first invited to come to Chicago from New Orleans by King Oliver. Armstrong then made several records that have become part of jazz history. At the same time, he was recording with the Armstrong Hot Five and Hot Seven, which may be some of the greatest of all jazz recordings. Shortly after that, in the 1930s, Fletcher Henderson invited Louis to come to New York and join his band.

The playing of Louis Armstrong in the late 20s and early 30s shook up the world of jazz and changed the way the world listened to music. The program that Vince Giordano has chosen for his Newport appearance will consist of arrangements of the remarkable King Oliver and Fletcher Henderson bands that featured Satchmo.

As Louis Armstrong emerged into the world of music, his phrasing created the language of jazz; SWING had arrived. It is still with us in popular music, thanks to Louis Armstrong and artists like Vince Giordano.

If the music you’ll be listening to at the festival this year “swings” for you, give a silent thanks to Pops himself, and his creation of the jazz language that has affected each musician who followed.
