George Lewis and his Famous Jazzmen: Over the Waves [Preservation Hall, New Orleans - ForJapanese Jazz Fans 1962]

Over the Waves -- George Lewis 1962

From Preservation Hall in new Orleans here is a clip filmed for some Japanese jazz fans played by George Lewis and his famous Jazzmen. I recognize Punch Miller on trumpet and Louis Nelson on trombone.
This was one of the music pieces that made George famous. Many bands, especially in Europe have taken this piece in their repertoire, but yes folks, this is the real thing! This was probably recorded in 1962. George's fame started in 1942 when he was a member of the Bunk Johnson band. He died in 1968.

Marian McPartland: In A Mist [1974]

Pianist Marian McPartland plays a tune composed by Bix Beiderbecke. He recorded "In the Mist" in 1927.
Margaret Marian Turner was born in England on March 21, 1918 near Slough, Buckinghamshire. As a child, young Marian Turner approached the piano around the age of three. While gaining proficiency on her own, she often provided musical entertainment at family gatherings. Her parents, however, enrolled Marian in violin lessons. Marian's enrollment in a boarding school ended her doomed attempt at playing the violin, and she eventually ended up at the famous London Guildhall School of Music where she studied piano and composition.
Marian was introduced to jazz by a boyfriend who often brought jazz records to her house. For hours they would listen to the music of Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, and others. From that point on, Marian was hooked on jazz. In 1943, Marian began playing in USO camp shows in Belgium and France, where she met a Chicago cornetist named Jimmy McPartland, a Bix Beiderbeck protege. In 1952, Marian's trio began what was to become a long-running gig at New York's Hickory House, where many legendary musicians to whom Marian had once listened often sat in the audience listening to Marian.
In 1978, Marian began hosting her own radio program for National Public Radio and South Carolina Educational Radio: Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz. Marian's most recently released CD on the Concord Jazz label is Just Friends, featuring jazz greats-- Tommy Flanagan, Renee Rosnes, George Shearing, Geri Allen, Dave Brubeck, and Gene Harris--playing duets with Marian. Additionally, a CD titled Portraits was released on the NPR label in the summer of 1999. This CD, as suggested by the title, is a compendium of Marian's musical portraits of several guests on Piano Jazz.
