追加記事

Dry Ice – Lucy Mae
from the album “Mr. Sawyer’s Sound Mind”（1998）
２度目の引用。

Benny Goodman and his Orchestra – Six Flats Unfurnished（1942）
Six Flats（フラットが６つ付く変ト長調）とFlats Unfurnished（家具無しの安アパート）をかけたタイトル。
途中で、手拍子が入る。

recorded in NYC July 27, 1942
Composed and arranged by future bandleader Richard Maltby, this instrumental made its way into homes across America on the flip side of Goodman’s famous “Why Don’t You Do Right” Peggy Lee vocal.

Ella Fitzgerald with The Song Spinners and Johnny Long and his Orchestra – And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine（1945）

recorded November 6, 1944
Billboard Chart Peak: 10 （jukebox）

Stan Kenton and his Orchestra – And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine（1944）
vocal: Anita O’Day and the band

Kenton compilations have sometimes substituted an alternate take in which Stan’s piano is heard accompanying Anita’s vocal. This posted track was the popular single release without the piano.

Mel Tormé – Careless Hands（1949）
orchestra conducted by Sonny Burke

In contrast to the （also-posted） ballad-style treatment by the Sammy Kaye band, Torme’s “Careless Hands” got a bright hand-clapping arrangement from Sonny Burke, reaching #7 on Billboard’s best-sellers chart and #1 on the radio airplay listings. Mel’s ballads “Blue Moon” and “Again” are also included in this 1949 collection.

Georgia Gibbs with Max Kaminsky’s Dixielanders – （If I Knew You Were Comin’） I’d’ve Baked A Cake（1950）
Billboard Chart Peaks: 5 （radio play）, 21 （sales）
手拍子というより何かを叩くような音。

Eileen Barton with the New Yorkers – If I Knew You Were Comin’ I’d’ve Baked A Cake（1950/02）
冒頭、ノックを模した音。

This novelty record took off for #1 so rapidly that the small National label wasn’t able to keep up with the demand; so they worked out an agreement with Mercury Records, who took over part of the manufacturing and distribution responsibilities. Thus, if you spend much time scrounging for old 78s, you’re likely to find this same recording on two different labels.

Ella Fitzgerald – Smooth Sailing（1951/08）
with The Ray Charles Singers and Bill Doggett （organ）

Among Ella’s best-known scat vocals, “Smooth Sailing” had been written and first recorded as a 1950 instrumental by tenor sax player Arnett Cobb.
