With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

Favoriting April 28, 2024: Chicks and Ducks and Storks Better Scurry

Alto and tenor saxophonist (with occasional forays into bass clarinet and piano) John Tchicai - born 88 yrs ago in Copenhagen to a Danish mother and Congolese father- played with Archie Shepp, Albert Ayler, and is perhaps the only person ever to record with both John Coltrane and John Lennon.

AND..... on her 100th, we say a scoob-i-di-boobidee-boop-boop-bee-doop and a tee-hee-hee for the gigantically delightful Margarethe Blossom Dearie - pianist and vocalist who charmed London and New York for many decades.

Les Blue Stars  En 1920 (In 1920)   Favoriting Lullaby Of Birdland And Other Famous Hits  Formed by Blossom Dearie in Paris in 1952, The Blue Stars consisted of four male and four female singers who combined to create a suave, brilliantly original modern vocal sound. They enjoyed an immediate hit in France and America with Michel Legrand's arrangement of George Shearing's "Lullaby Of Birdland" and heralded a style that would continue through The Double Six Of Paris and The Swingle Singers.

May I share two films that go deeper into John Tchicai and this music. The first was the overview of "free jazz," which includes an interview with Tchicai and a short performnace. The second was an entire focus on the New York Art Quartet, based on their 35 year reunion in 1999. INSIDE OUT IN THE OPEN

StringOFperils:

A British fellow, Bill Smith, who used to live in Toronto where he published CODA magazine, turned me onto Tchicai about 40 years ago. Not in person, but through a weekly radio show that he did. He really championed that musician, and other 'avant' players, and the primacy of jazz culture in general...which always seems a bit imported and peripheral around here IMO. He was committed to the cause, regardless.

Interesting that Jim Anderson gets a credit (recording) on this-he had a rep in the Audiophile world for great sounding recordings, just sayin'...

They're a Danish band from Copenhagen, that's why I thought it was borderline relevant. Or that was the Glen Passaic speaking. Speaking of which... that glass seems empty
