Description
LIVE PERFORMANCE ON JUBILEE with LUCKY MILLINDER'S HOT BIG BAND from THE ARMED FORCES RADIO SERVICE on a 16" TRANSCRIPTION DISC. PROGRAM RECORDED DURING THE 1940'S.
THIS IS JUBILEE PROGRAM H-11-116 AND FEATURES LUCKY MILLINDER'S INCREDIBLE HOT BAND, SLIM GAILLARD TRIO, JUDY CARROLL, AND THE COMEDY TEAM OF MANTAN MORGLAND & BEN CARTER ( not the big band leader ).
“Jubilee” was conceived and programmed to present African-American artists and their music to the armed forces personnel of the United States and allied nations around the world. During the history of the program, eventually other artists were invited to participate, but “Jubilee” is remembered as a showcase for African-American talent. In additional to big bands, small jazz groups and singers, many talented dramatic and comedic performers appeared on “Jubilee.”Many of the “Jubilee” programs offer an exclusive opportunity to hear an important period of jazz history otherwise lost because of the recording strikes and when jazz was changing in style. “Jubilee” transcriptions are among the only recorded examples of the period for many bands and soloists. This was an exciting period and “Jubilee” documents it. Programs 1-45 (Decca and Capitol settled with the American Federation of Musicians in October-November 1943), 46-107 (RCA Victor and Columbia settled in November 1944) and 270-327 roughly correspond to the period of the strikes.
THIS AUCT ION IS FOR THE H-11-116 DISC ISSUED BY THE ARMED FORCES RADIO SERVICES. PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS A TRANSCRIPTION DISC MEASURING 16". SELECTIONS ON THE LUCKY MILLINDER PROGRAM AS FOLLOWS: SHOW OPENS WITH COMIC AND JIVE-TALKING ANNOUNCER ERNIE "BUBBLES" WHITEMAN AND THE LUCKY TALKING ABOUT THE FIRST NUMBER. THEY BOTH TALK SO MUCH JIVE THAT I NEVER WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE TITLE WAS .... BUT IT SOUNDED SOMETHING LIKE " THANKS FOR THE RIDE". JUDY CARROLL SINGS "IS YOU IS OR IS YOU AIN'T MY BABY". THE SLIM GAILLARD TRIO DOES "TUTTI-FRUITY-ROOTIE" AND THEN IT'S BACK TO LUCKY DOING A NICE VERSION OF "I'LL GET BY" SIDE TWO BEGINS WITH THE COMEDY TEAM OF MANTAN MORGLAND & BEN CARTER. THEY ARE VERY FUNNY WITHOUT DOING ANY STEREOTYPE STUFF ( You took this medicine? It says for external use only !!!! .... That's OK .. I took it outside ). JUDY CARROLL DOES "WHAT CAN I SAY AFTER I SAY I'M SORRY" AND THEN LUCKY ENDS THE PROGRAM WITH THE ABSOLUTE SHOW-STOPPER "SAVOY". BOTH LUCKY AND BUBBLES DO A GOOD AMOUNT OF TALKING DURING THE SHOW. THEY ARE TWO VERY HEP CATS AND THEIR CONVERSATION PROBABLY GIVES A GLIMPSE OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE STANDING ON A CORNER IN HARLEM DURING THE 1940'S. CONDITION OF THIS DISC: VERY GOOD WITH MODERATE USE. NO NOISY SCRATCHES, NO DUG OUT GROOVES, NO REPEATING FLAWS. RATE THIS ONE AS AN "M" *.
*NOTE: "M" is NOT "MINT"
