Caterina’s chatter

Hello, and welcome. It is very enjoyable writing this, so hoping you

enjoy the read…..

Yes, we are only a week away from Easter and everywhere you look

there are chocolates and hot cross buns in our faces. The shops don’t

care about our health, just our wallet… ha ha. I truly avoid going to

big supermarkets, I stick mainly to the green grocers. To me Easter is

a time of reflecting, forgiveness, and understanding. A time to

contemplate on our life’s journey and how best we can live it in good

faith. It’s also a wonderful time for relaxing with family, so whatever

you are doing, enjoy the day and time spent with your loved ones….

wishing you all a safe and Happy Easter!!!!!

Month of March has seen great bands and musicians alike. Love your

enthusiasm and enjoyment while listening or dancing, also, with the

ambiance of our Jazz club, it is a pleasurable place to be at. Pleasing

to see visitors and new members joining the club every week. Our

jazz in the park is also a hit with the community/public, making it a

remarkable success! This month is no exception. I thank you all the

committee, whom support it, your time and commitment say it

all…………

April rolls in and just after Easter on 3rd April, we will have the

wonderful Kalamunda Youth Swing Band directed by, Jon Fernandez.

Usually he brings two bands and these young ones are very talented.

The night will be a great treat so don’t miss it. Then “Manhattons”…

followed by “Bluenote Jazz Men” and “Cornerhouse J B”, so you see

it is also going to be a fantastic month. Keep the front page of the

newsletter handy for your reference to each week’s gigs. May is also

around the corner and time for our AGM meeting on the 30th. Put that

in your dairy if you would like to be informed on what happens in our/

your club. There are changes required to all club’s constitutions

imposed by the government, and we the committee, with the help

from experienced people, have been working hard to conform. All

going well and time permitting we will be presenting it at our AGM.

More to come in our next issue of Jazznotes so stay tuned……..

This month I have been out and about visiting other jazz venues. An

invitation from James Harwood did take me to Como Bowling club for

the opening of a newly formed jazz club in South Perth “Hoots Jazz”.

It was lovely to see they had a good response from locals and friends

entertained by a quartet of good musicians. It was an enjoyable

evening and I wish them all the very best in this venture. I also

popped into the Railway Hotel, Fremantle, on Saturday where

the Cornerhouse JB was playing; good to see a little revamp….

Then Sunday 17th on to Mandurah with Keith, our treasurer,

meeting up with Mike, our secretary, Beth and Trish to listen to

That’s Jazz. Such a lovely new bright venue and on their 14-

year celebrations we had a very pleasant afternoon. Then con-

tinuing to dinner when Mike was longing for his loved crabs. It

was late, and the crab fest was coming to an end, but we did

not give up. Mike got his huge serve of crabs, the glow on his

face said it all. We let him take his time, ¾ hour to be exact,

hmmmmmm. I note no offers to any of us to taste them was

made!!! Hahahaha, good one Mike…………

Treat yourself with love and respect, and you will attract people

who show you love and respect, focus on the qualities you love

about yourself and the law of attraction will show you more won-

derful things about you….

Warm regards always

The Original Dixieland Jazz Band started

life in early 1916 in Chicago when a New

Orleans clarinet player, Alcide Nunez

was asked by a local promoter to bring a

New Orleans styled band to Chicago.

Other bands from New Orleans playing in

the Dixieland style were enjoying

success, notably Tom Brown and Johnny

Stein’s bands.. When Stein’s contract

ended, Nunez brought drummer Tony Sparbaro ( Spargo) to replace him.

Also added were pianist Henry Ragas and Tromboneist Eddie Edwards.

Larry Shields took over the clarinet position joining from Tom Brown’s band in

a band swap.The cornet chair was taken over by Dominick La Rocca, a

replacement for Frank Christian, the first choice.

All band members were white and had played with Papa Laine’s band in NO

and all had played alongside the black musicians in that Band. They started

their career in Schiller’s Cafe under the name of Stein’s Jass Band in early

1916 but when Stein left, changed the name to The Original Dixieland Jass

Band.

The band caught the ear of impresario Max Hart , who took the band to New

York, where they enjoyed great success and there into the studios of the

Victor Talking Machine Co, in February 1917 to record the first ever cutting of

a disk in the new style of music.

This was the Livery Stable Blues, and other notable tunes at this session

included were Tiger Rag and the Original Dixie Land Onestep, La Rocca

compositions.

The Band was sent to England in 1917 to entertain the US Forces and

enjoyed a short residency at the London Hippodrome, influencing many of the

local musicians, even playing at a command performance for King George

V11 at the Palace.

Returning to the US, the band toured and recorded for the Columbia label but

broke up during the Depression in 1920. Provided by Herkin

GIFT VOUCHERS
