Title = Delmark: 60 Years of Jazz
Record Company = Delmark
Review =
I admit to fondness for samplers, albums containing selections from various LPs or CDs released by a single company. They are compiled to present highlights from the catalogue, or at least to provide representative selections, in the hope that listeners will buy the albums from which the selections come. Among the many impressive ones are Jazz at Columbia—Swing (1956); The Blues in Modern Jazz, which Atlantic issued in 1961; and Blue Note Gems of Jazz (1967). A decade after its two-CD 45 Years of Jazz and Blues (1998), Delmark released 55 Years of Jazz and 55 Years of Blues. Its 60 Years of Jazz appeared in late 2013. This sampler reminds listeners that Delmark is one of the few jazz record companies active in the 1950s that is still in business as an independent concern. Atlantic, Blue Note, Contemporary, Fantasy, Prestige, Verve—these and other venerable labels continue operating, but as parts of conglomerates, such as Universal Music. Appealing music, though, is the major reason for purchasing this CD.
Born in 1932, Bob Koester founded Delmar Records in St. Louis in 1953, naming the business for its location, Delmar St. Sometime after moving to Chicago in 1958 to be near a thriving blues scene, he renamed his label Delmark. It is noted for a strong blues catalogue featuring recordings by Jimmy Dawkins, J. B. Hutto, Magic Sam, Otis Rush, Speckled Red, Junior Wells, and Big Joe Williams, among others. In jazz, it is important as the first company to record musicians affiliated with the Association for the Advancement of Creative Music (AACM), which did, indeed, advance creative music; Delmark also distributed early recordings by Sun Ra. Though it remains independent, Delmark has become something of a mini-conglomerate as a result of Koester’s having bought the recordings of other labels, including Apollo, Paramount, Parkway, Pearl, Regal, Sackville, States, and United.
Nine of the twelve selections on Delmark: 60 Years of Jazz were recorded in this century; the others are from 1947 (Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis), 1952 (Dewey Jackson), and 1969 (Sonny Stitt). The Davis recording, an alternate take, is issued here for the initial time, as is a tune recorded in 2013 by the Fat Babies. Koester is partial to early jazz, which is represented here by trumpeter Jackson (a professional by 1912) and the Fat Babies. Musicians associated with AACM are not present, but Jason Adasiewicz’s trio plays in what might be called a quasi avant-garde mode. Groups led by Ernest Dawkins, Red Holloway, Rob Mazurek, Nicole Mitchell, and Ira Sullivan perform more traditionally.
Two selections combine free and more restrained playing. One, Kahil El’Zabar’s “Crumb-Puck-U-Lent,” has a steady beat, but the solos by tenor saxophonist Ari Brown and violinist Billy Bang are somewhat “out.” The other, cornetist Josh Berman’s “Sugar,” is, to me, the most impressive performance on the CD. Composed in the mid 1920s by Maceo Pinkard, Edna Alexander, and Sidney D. Mitchell, “Sugar” has been recorded hundreds of times and was the signature song of Lee Wiley. Berman’s version is unlike any I have heard. Initially cacophonous and halting but settling into a groove behind the gritty soloing of tenor saxophonist Keefe Jackson, the group plays largely “out” for two-and-a-half minutes before introducing the melody, which it plays in unison for only sixteen bars. Bass clarinetist Jason Stein begins soloing at the start of the bridge and dominates for most of the remainder of the performance. Drummer Frank Rosaly solos briefly before the group concludes not with a restatement of the melody but rather by reverting to the manner of the long introduction. This is a daring, thrilling recording during which the leader does not solo.
This CD will interest people curious about the history of independent record companies and listeners who enjoy stimulating improvised music. Concurrent with this release, Delmark issued Delmark—60 Years of Blues, though I cannot comment on it because I have not heard it.

- Song for the month of February 2014:
Frank Sinatra - "My Way"
The lyrics of "My Way" tell the story of a man who, having grown old, reflects on his life as death approaches. He is comfortable with his mortality and takes responsibility for how he dealt with all the challenges of life while maintaining a respectable degree of integrity.
Paul Anka heard the original 1967 French pop song, Comme d'habitude (As Usual) performed by Claude François, while on holiday in the south of France. He flew to Paris to negotiate the rights to the song. In a 2007 interview, he said, "I thought it was a bad record, but there was something in it." He acquired publishing rights at no cost except the melody's rights kept by the authors, and, two years later, had a dinner in Florida with Frank Sinatra and "a couple of Mob guys" at which Sinatra said, "I'm quitting the business. I'm sick of it, I'm getting the hell out."
Back in New York, Anka re-wrote the original French song for Sinatra, subtly altering the melodic structure and changing the lyrics:
"At one o'clock in the morning, I sat down at an old IBM electric typewriter and said, 'If Frank were writing this, what would he say?' And I started, metaphorically, 'And now the end is near.' I read a lot of periodicals, and I noticed everything was 'my this' and 'my that'. We were in the 'me generation' and Frank became the guy for me to use to say that. I used words I would never use: 'I ate it up and spit it out.' But that's the way he talked. I used to be around steam rooms with the Rat Pack guys – they liked to talk like Mob guys, even though they would have been scared of their own shadows."
Anka finished the song at 5 am. "I called Frank up in Nevada – he was at Caesar's Palace – and said, 'I've got something really special for you.'" Anka claimed, "When my record company caught wind of it, they were very pissed that I didn't keep it for myself. I said, 'Hey, I can write it, but I'm not the guy to sing it.' It was for Frank, no one else." Despite this, Anka would later record the song in 1969 (very shortly after Sinatra's recording was released). Anka recorded it four other times as well: (1) in 1996 (as a duet with Gabriel Byrne, performed in the movie Mad Dog Time), (2) in 1998 in Spanish as (a Mi Manera) (duet with Julio Iglesias), (3) in 2007 (as a duet with Jon Bon Jovi) and in 2013 (as duet with Garou).
Frank Sinatra recorded his version of the song on December 30, 1968, and it was released in early 1969 on the album of the same name and as a single. It reached No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 2 on the Easy Listening chart in the US. In the UK, the single achieved a still unmatched record, becoming the recording with the most weeks inside the Top 40, spending 75 weeks from April 1969 to September 1971. It spent a further 49 weeks in the Top 75 but never bettered the No. 5 slot achieved upon its first chart run.

Whether listening to her mom sing as she wrote songs on the piano, watching her dad play guitar or hearing countless stories of her parents’ life on the road as musicians, music filled the walls of their home and was an integral part of Morgan Tobias’s childhood. She’s never had a doubt that music is in her blood. “Growing up, being an only child, music was my best friend. It’s what I turned to an...d was kind of like the big brother or sister that I never had.” Michelle Branch, Alison Krauss, Avril Lavigne, Christina Aguilera, LeAnn Rimes, Alanis Morissette and Bryan Adams were a few of her favorites. Not unlike many young singers, Morgan remembers her first performances from a church stage. Fast forward to playing in a band through early high school and eventually going solo in coffee houses and pubs during her senior year. Graced with a natural beauty, a fortunate introduction led her to a modeling career and Morgan appeared on the covers of fashion magazines in Europe and Canada as a successful hair model.
Knowing a bold move from her childhood home of London, Ontario was needed; Morgan made the commitment to relocate to Nashville in late 2009. After being introduced and taken around the famed Music Row, she signed with Big Country Records in early 2011. “I feel that working in country music is where I belong because I enjoy writing about real life and the emotions that we all go through. I remember the first song I ever wrote was when my dog died”. Hundreds of songs later, her most recent effort is a co-write with hit songwriters James Slater and Erik Dylan called Last Song. “Thinking about the legacy you leave behind and living every moment like it could be your last, is what the song is about. That’s also how I want to live my life”.
In early 2013 Morgan packed her bags and moved to Los Angeles. “I originally came out here to expand my sound - working with a few writer friends and producers. But I fell in love with the ocean and the people out here and had this overwhelming feeling that this is where I’m supposed to be. So I stayed. It’s where I’m inspired”. She recently made top 16 in the Girls category on the latest season of X Factor after getting 4 yeses from the judges. And currently she’s in the studio writing and recording in preparation for a debut release.
On the occasional time off, you might find this dedicated 24 year old on the beach for a day of surfing, baking in the kitchen, hiking with her Great Dane or simply visiting one of her favorite coffee shops. But Morgan’s life in music is also her joy. “I’ve just always known that music is what I want to do, I’ve never had a plan B”.
