Despite of the plain fact that "perdido" is spanish
and means "lost", musicians may remember the
Rampart-Perdido Street area in New Orleans. It was along
Rampart and Perdido Streets that Buddy Bolden's reputation
was originally made. And the Rampart-Perdido crowd helped
spread his reputation by following him to the parks. Perdido
Street was at that time (the first decade of the 20th
century) the home of Funky Butt Hall, Odd Fellows and Masonic
Hall, The Zulu Social and Pleasure Club, to name but a few of
many interesting places. See Donald M. Marquis: In Search of
Buddy Bolden. Baton Rouge 1978. - Perdido Street Blues (by
Lili Armstrong, rec. by Louis Armstrong a. h. orch. 400527,
with Sidney Bechet) and Perdido Street Stomp (Mezzrow-Bechet
Quintet and Septet 45). / Beethoven composed "Die Wut
über den verlorenen Groschen" (Rage Over A Lost Penny).

Piano Player, The (Ellington) Eastbourne
Performance 731201 / D.E.: Live and Rare 731201 //
"[SoSo] has been mistitled by discographers as Wood or
Woods. The title Woods belongs to a complete different
composition, also known as 'The Piano Player' and has nothing
to do with SoSo." (From the liner notes by Bjarne Busk
to Togo Brava Suite (Storyville)). The Eastbourne Performance
731201 has both "The Piano Player", an Ellington
feature, and "Woods". The "Woods" of the
Eastbourne Performance 731201 is the "SoSo" of Togo
Brava Suite (Storyville) 710628. There is a manuscript sketch
book in the D.E. Collection which contains the title
"The Woods". Does the collection's entry
"SoSo" refer to this version of "The
Woods"? The collection has no "Piano Player".

adds: „… the same as 'Taffy Twist', a Mercer
composition...". (It is combined with "Chief"
by M. L. Williams). Taffy Twist opens „The Feeling of
Jazz", a record featuring Ray Nance. I found the number
rather mediocre, but in the context of „The River"
it is very strong: just what one has been waiting for. Adding
weight to it by putting it into the right place.

Cotton Club p. 132 f.: "... in the grand finale the
company introduced yet another new dance, the skrontch,
which, it was said, had been done a century earlier in
Kentucky. While it was not as exciting as earlier dances
introduced at the club, its "catchy" name would
ensure it long life. ... Later, in recording, the name ...
changed to "the scrounch," for obvious reasons.
..." / In the Glossary of Negro Words and Phrases
that is attached to Carl van Vechten's novel Nigger
Heaven (1926) we find: "scronch: a dance".

"Curiously, the only form of music which consciously
made use of gliding tones to any extent was negro jazz, and
in this field Duke Ellington was the leading exponent. His
recorded versions of Soliloquy (recorded April 30,
1927) and Black and Tan Fantasy (recorded February
9, 1932) are fine examples of how gliding tones may be
incorporated into the musical structure without being merely
incidental to it. Grainger, who was always a great admirer of
Duke Ellington, must have been aware of the work done by this
great tunesmith." John Bird: Percy Grainger. London

/ Sheet music in DEMS Bulletin 2000/1
p. 7-8. // The music recalls the mad leaps up and down of
Basie's "I Ain't Mad At You", rec. 470522 by Count
Basie & His Orch. w. Paul Gonsalves. It goes like this:
"I Ain't Mad At You [up] - You Ain't Mad At Me [down] -
and that's all!". It was sung by the whole band in
unison. The use of the inversion makes it a conjuration or a
formula of exorcism. It is a typical laconic Basie settlement
of a quarrel. But this does not imply that Duke
"stole" it: at the contrary. It is highly
interesting to see what Duke made out of the rather simple
idea, if he remembered it unconsciously or if Paul Gonsalves
noodled around using this theme at a certain occasion. Britt
Woodman obituary in DEMS Bulletin 2000/4 p. 2 says that it
was composed and played 1955 during a week at New York's
Birdland.

with author credits to Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike). Fred
Waring in the spoken introduction to Ray Noble's version
calls it very old, "15 years", originally a
prisoner song from Denver. Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians
recorded Stagger Lee in 1923 / For the "Stack O'Lee
Blues" Ma Rainey recorded, cf. Frankie and Johnny //
Thomas L. Morgan 1999 lists 175 Stagger Lee Songs, from
Angola Prisoners to Zim Zemarel, and is still looking for
more. One serious attempt to ascertain the possible
historical existence of Stacker Lee was made, in an article
by Richard E. Buehler, "Stacker Lee: a Partial
Investigation into the Historicity of a Negro Murder
Ballad," published in the Keystone Folklore Quarterly in
the Fall, 1967 issue (pp. 187-191.) // Cf. DEMS Bulletin 02/2
17/1: Marcello Piras is convinced the arranger and the piano
player of this "totally undistinguished recording"
is not Duke Ellington.

Carmichael with a melody he called Stardust. That
was even before the song got its present lyrics, and the Duke
made a dance arrangement to which Cotton Club patrons glided
dreamily. /
