The Blackhawk quickly became the hottest night spot in Chicago. The Nighthawks were broadcast Saturday nights on WGN as partoftheprogram "Knights and Ladies of the Bath." The program was so named because in those days most people bathed once a week-on Saturday night.

Western Union and Postal Telegraph machines were installed on stage and so many requests and dedications came in that by the end of each broadcast the stage was covered by a blizzard of paper.

The Nighthawks maintained their home base at the Blackhawk for the next four years and toured during the summer in multi-colored Auburn sports cars. The cars were given to them by E. L. Cord, the motor car magnate. Each band member had his own car with his name emblazoned across the trunk.

They traveled caravan style across the midwest playing college proms, dances in small towns and new venues that were opening across thecountry - ballrooms. In 1928, the Nighthawks triumphantly returned to Kansas City to open the EI Torreon Ballroom. The also played to a packed houseatthe Pla-Mor ballroom in 1930.

The popularity of the Nighthawks radio program was not lost on a young man named William Paley. He needed an-incentive for radio stations to join his fledgling Columbia Broadcasting System. Paley' along with MCA arranged an eleven month New York engagement for the band at the Hotel New Yorker Terrace Room. Their broadcasts over the CBS Network were sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes.

The Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawk Orchestra, Part II

The Coon-Sanders Ncroelty Orchestra

In 1924, when the Coon-Sanders· Original Nighthawk Orchestra left ' Kansas City for Chicago they had a national following due to their radio broadcasts over WDAF. At this time great social and cultural changes were sweeping across the nation. Prohibition was the law of the land and fortunes were made by gangsters known as "wise guys" from bootlegging and importing alcohol. Women's roles were changing. Liberated women known as "Flappers" drank from hip flasks, smoked in public and danced the Charleston into the wee hours.

The nation became mobile for the first time as prosperity made automobiles available in mass quantities. The Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawks Orchestra were the pied pipers ofthis wild decade which is often referred to as the "roaring twenties" or the "jazz age."

After relocating in Chicago, the Nighthawks played 'an extended engagement at the Congress Hotel and resumed their recording career, cutting six selections for the Victor Label' on April 6-7, 1924. They were paid a flatfee of $200 with no royalties. Their

" ,

most popular recording from this session was ''Night Hawk Blues" which was an instant hit.

Between the years 1924 and 1932 Victor recorded 94 selections by the Nighthawks. They were one of Victor's most popular artists and consistent sellers.

That same year, while playing a summer engagement at the Lincoln Tavern, 'the Nighthawks were approached by Jules Stein. Stein wanted to start a booking agency but lacked the necessary venture capital. Stein proposed that the Nighthawks let him book a tour and use the profits to form a booking agency. Joe and Carleton "Coonie" Coon agreed. Stein booked a five week tour for the Nighthawks. The tour was a success.

Stein used the profits to start the Music Corporation of Arij.erica. The Nighthawks became Stein's most important client. MCA became the most prominentbookingagencyinthecountry representing Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Count Basie to name a few,

In 1926, the Nighthawks moved to the Blackhawk Restaurant located at the corner of Wabash and Randolph.

"Harlem Renaissance." He and cab Calloway formed a mutual admiration society. Cab confessed that his vocal style was influenced by Coonie and that the Nighthawks were one of his favorite bands.

Joe and other band members were not so enamored with New York. Homesickness for the Midwest is reflected in Joe's composition, "I Want To Go Home" which was recorded during the Nighthawks last session for Victor on March 24, 1932.

The same weariness that had settled on the country because of the depression affecting the band. In addition, the musical tastes were changing. The seeds of swing wer~ sprouting with the work of Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman as leaders.

The band members were concerned about Coonies' health. He had been drinking heavily and neglecting his heal tho Emotions were briefly lifted by their return to Chicago in the spring of 1932 for an engagement at the College Inn. Their exuberance was shortlived as Coonie entered the hospital in

critical condition April 30, 1932 suffering from blood poisoning which resulted from an abscessed jaw. The Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawks Orchestra essentially died with Carleton Coon on May 4, 1932.

Coonie's body was returned to Kansas City for burial. His funeral was one of the biggest that Kansas City had ever seen with a procession that stretched for miles. Sanders continued to lead the Nighthawks for the commitments to which they were obligated but the magic of the CoonSanders Original Nighthawk Orchestra was gone. Joe disbanded the group on Easter Sunday 1933. .

Joe relocated to Hollywood for a short time, writing movie scores without much success. In 1934 he formed a new group, the Ole Left-Hander and His Orchestra. He remained popular in the Midwest but never enjoyed the national prominence that he achieved as co-leader of the Nighthawks. His personal fortunes declined when the Auburn Motor Car Company went bankrupt during the depression. Sand-

ers continued to leadhis group until 1952 when he retired to Kansas City where he died on May 14, 1965.

The author would like to thank Mr.

John Coon for his help with this portrait of the Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawk Orchestra. The author would also like to dedicate this series to the memory of David E. Dexter, Jr. for his inspiration and friendship . .:.

ssSlick Appeal Is Key to Jazz Organist's Success

by Marilyn Wimp

Everette DeVan claims he was well on his way to becoming a concert pianist when jazz swung into his life. Inspired by the music of jazz organist

- Jimmy Smith he turned to the Hammond B-3 organ which he has soulfully mastered.

DeVan heads the band ssSlick with Kent Means, vibraphone, Clive Renfroe, guitar and vocals and Jim Morrison, drums and Lisa Henry, vocalist. Jim Mair, saxophone, plays with the group when he is available. ssSlick's latest release on cassette Straight, No Chaser, is available in local stores.

together and played side by side at a club on 80th and Troost," DeVan said .. He's also played with Jack McDuff at the Grand Emporium.

His greatest influences are organists Smith, McDuff, McGriff and Shirley Scott. He believes himself fortunate to have played with his. peers and mentors. "There're so few of us, we keep in contact," he said.

"1 can't say eno~gh about people I work with. I'd never consider working with a drum machine rather than a drummer," he said ofssSlickgroup members.

He values the creativity which comes frommusicians interacting with one another. Their professional rapport is based on respect and friend':

) ship. Devan's i1-year friendship with Means is sincere, on and off the stage.

Many a talented vocalist has launched her career through DeVan's generous support. Most recently vocalist Lisa Henry released her first album, Straight, No Chaser which

DeVan arranged.

Lisa was 19 when her mother brought her to the club to see DeVan's group. She was invited back and eventually hired.

"She had raw talent. I saw it, the band saw it. Lisa is a throwback to the 1940s, 19505. She can sing like Anita Baker but prefers Sarah Vaughan," De Van said. Lori Tucker now of Shin-

, ing Light also began with ssSlick.

"Kansas City jazz is as strong now as it ever was," he believes. Kansas City still has a good reputation as far as turning out fine jazz musicians, ''high caliber musician," DeVan said.

"Charlie Parker is known the world over. One day you hope somebody might feel that way about you."

He believes Kansas City musicians

.. are starting to get recognized, again after record companies bypassed Kansas City during themid-1980s. He shares the same sentiment as many

, musicians do as they wish the general public was more supportive of their

Jazz Anecdotes

ceived as an "outsider" that compels us to humor, or perhaps there's something about a life "on-stage" that harks back toa Vaudevillian approach to life, maybe the "team" element that binds us together when travelling and performing has something to do with it. Whatever the case, when musicians get together laughing is pervasive: disgusting jokes and witty anecdotes abound.

Mr. Crows' book is an attempt to document this social interaction in the jazz world (especially those more memorable events) as they have become part of our "verbal tradition" over the years. (It's about time someone put this stuff in print, there's a hell of a lot more to a musicians' life than what he plays!) Using short stories from the musicians themselves, this book takes you into the locker- room of many a jazz cadre.

To be more specific, this collection of anecdotes (some 339 pages in hardback) is grouped into two major headings. The first half (or so) of the book covers such topics as: Wild Scenes, The Word "Jazz," Beginnings of jazz, Inventions, Pianos, Teachers and students, Stage Fright, Reading Music,

Hirings and Firings, Music Business people, Road travels, Arrangers and Arrangements; "Cutting" contests, 52nd Street, Radio Broadcasts, Musicians' Attire, Racial Prejudice, Songs, Goofs, Pranks, Put-ons, Good Lines, Nicknames and Jokes.

The second part of the book is more biographical in nature, covering stories about such figures as: Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Bix Beiderbecke, Fats Walle~, Eddie Condon, Pee Wee Russell, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Art Tatum, Joe Venuti, Tommy Dorsey, Lionel Hampton, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. The last chapter contains a few memorable jokes.

Aside from the humor and goodnatured fun, the brief stories provide both historical and social insight into the "ups and downs" encountered by the people who have given us so much great music. And though there are a few annoying typographical errors, I must applaud Mr. Crow and Oxford Press for producing such a provoking and enjoyable piece. .:.

Jazz Anecdotes by Bill Crow.

Oxford University Press, New York, NY, 1990.

(339 pages, hardback, $19.95)

I was in the bookstore a couple of weeksago,andasyoumightgueSs, I drifted over to the jazz collection. Now, normally I go in for biographies or histo-encyclo-dtscographies (they tend to satisfy my Virgo sensibilities), buton this particular trip, an anecdotal edition caught my eye. Without much thought, I putdown$19.95 and headed off to the gig.

As if I don't have .anything else pressing, one Saturday morning I found myself in the mood for some lightweight reading, I just couldn't seem to muster the energy for "business." This book was just what the doctor ordered. A collection of "stories," as humorous as it is informative, Jazz Anecdotes is a "must-read" for folks in and around the jazz sphere. Also,because of the nature of its layout, the readerisn't compelled to "sitit-out" until the end of a particular chapter.

As a starting point, let me say that much in the attraction of the music life for me, is the general "tenor" of fun that permeates the social interaction among musicians. I suppose it's partly a reaction to the pain of being per-

PLATTER CIfATTER

Nathan Berg Quartet Fish With No Fins

by Dick Wright

Time Is (T-19803) Recorded: August 21, 1990

PERSONNEL: Nathan Berg (bass, leader), Alan Broadbent(piano),Bob Shephard (tenor, soprano sax), and Carl Burnett (drums).

SELECTIONS: Fish With No Fins; Kurt, Rabo and Trout; Hey Joe; Monk's Dram; Lonely Woman; Polka Dots and Moonbeams; When You're Finished; Tom Thumb.

It's pretty difficult not being biased over this release - Nathan Berg has grown up in a home just three blocks from where Ilivein Lawrence, Ks. I've

watched the 19 year old "phenom" (18 at the time of this recording) progress from the local boy wonder into a world class bassist who, at this point in time, is a member of the Maynard Ferguson Band.

For this debut release, Nathan has put together a marvelous group of musicians; pianist Alan Broadbent is not only a great playerbutis also a topnotch composer and arranger. Carl Burnett is an always exciting drummer who graces many a recording date. Saxophonist Bob Shephard, although not a household name as of yet, is one ofthose new artistsaboutto burst forth on the jazz horizon.

The material Nathan has chosen for

this maiden voyage includes: The [~ J

::--~~n::;:,:,.:~~;:;_.::!~ :~=.

jazz classics by Monk ("Monk's Dream"), Horace Silver ("Lonely Woman"), and Wayne Shorter ("Tom Thumb"). There is also "Hey Joe" by Billy Roberts and to round out the date, three originals by Nathan: "Fish WitJllNo Fins," "Kurt, Raboand Trout" and "When You're Finished."

This is a great way for Nathan to begin his recording career and we'll all look forward to his next release. Until then, just sit back and savor this one. As I listened through the CD for the first time, I couldn't help repeat Jackie Gleason's immortal line: "How sweet it is!" .:.

Make Your Own WayGary Foster Quartet featuring Jimmy Rowles by Dick Wright

Concord CCD-4459, recorded January, 1991, Hollywood, Ca.

Personnel: Gary Foster (alto sax, alto flute), Jimmy Rowles (piano), John Heard (bass), Joe Labarbera (drums).

Selections: Alone Together (DietzSchwartz); The Peacocks (Rowles); Wame-ing (Foster>; Nica's Dream (Silver); What A Life (Kent-Alter); I Concentrate On You (Porter); Some Other Spring (Herzog); 'Teef (Redd): I'll Close My Eyes (Kaye-

. Reid); Easy Living (Robin-Rainger):

Sweet Lips (Foster).

I plead guilty to being biased on this one! Gary Foster, a native of Leavenworth, Ks, and a graduate of Kansas University, is my dearest friend -a friendship that has now passed the

30 year mark. Heis the firiestmusician I have ever known and is, by reputation, the first-call woodwind player on the LA/Hollywood music scene.

As a jazz musician, Gary's credentials are impeccable: an absolutely beautiful sound, a dazzling technique and, a true improvisor in every sense of the word. These traits hold good for all the instruments he plays: alto, tenor, and soprano saxes; flute; and clarinet.

This new release features Gary in the company of the great pianist, Jimmy Rowles, a man who Gary has greatly admired for many years. The remainder of the group has the highly respected bassist, John Heard, and the always tasteful drummer, Joe LaBarbera (who earlier worked with Bill Evans and Phil Woods. The program is well-rounded and includes five popular standards in "Alone Together," "1 Concentrate On You," "Some Other Spring," "I'll Close My Eyes," and ''Easy Living."

- There are three jazz classics: "Nica's

Dream" by Horace Silver, Sonny Redd's ''Teef,'' and the monumental Rowles ballad, ''The Peacocks" with, at Jimmy's request, Gary using the alto flute. There are two Foster originals: ''Wame-ing'' for Warne Marsh and "Sweet Lips" and for the late and highly respected woodwind specialist Wilbur Schwartz. As an added bonus, Jimmy sings in his unique and very personal style, the Charlotte KentLouis alter song, ''What A Life."

May I also recommend another recent CD with Gary, Ne Plus Ultra, the material features the brilliant interplay between Gary and Warne with the backing from Dave Parlato on bass and John Tirabasso on drums. .:.

Down on Main Street

Patches Jazz Bar&Grill,3041 Main Street, Kansas City, 931-2711. Open Monday through Wednesday, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., Thursday through Friday, 11 a.m.-1 :30a.m., Saturday, 6 p.m. - 1 :30 a.m. Closed Sunday, private parties only.

P . atches Bar and Grill is the latest addition to the Union Hill community. Located on the comer of 31st Street and Main Street (previously Antonio's Pizza), Patches offers a comfortable mix of music and light dining in an up-scale urban atmosphere.

Even though Patches is located in the Union Hill area, just steps away from Union Hill Arts gallery,co-owner Harrison Smith doesn't consider it a

neighborhood ~.:~.

"We tried to create a cosmopolitan atmosphere that would attract people who enjoy good music and food regardless of where they live," explained Smith.

Solid oak and brass accent the muted pink and green of the main bar area. In stark contrast a sleek black baby grand piano dominates the stage where Queen Bey, Sonny Kenner and the band Groove Merchants have performed.

Live performances can be enjoyed at Patches Thursday through Saturday evenings. This wasn't always the case. When the bar was in its developmental stages earlier this year, you might have heard a pianist during happy hour, and almost always playing jazz. Smith quickly discovered,

like many other jazz club owners, this wasn't profitable.

. ''The jazz community isn't quite

. what I expected based on the reputation Kansas City has for being a jazz town," said Smith. ''We may move toward a mixed venue."

Patches offers a light menu from lunch until. closing. Appetizers, salads and sandwiches are available in the bar, and on weekends in the atrium adjoining the bar. ..

Bobby Barrett

T he Kansas City jazz scene will not soon. forget Bobby Barrett, the quiet smiling guitarist who died last November. Bobby, in his last years did not take gigs but worked steadily sitting in with groups in many of Kansas City's best known jazz spots.

For the past two years he was notably seen and heard at the side of pianist-vocalist, Carol Comer in her weekend stints at the Sunset Restaurant & Bar on State Line. Carol was determined that his passing be marked by some special remembrance of this gentle and talented man.

On December 1, 1990, a group of . more than 40 of his fellow musicians

28

and fans met for coffee and doughnuts at the home of Dale and Rev. Mullins to celebrate his friendship and his music.

As a legacy and remem:brance, nearly $400 was donated in his name to the UMKC resident jazz group, the Kansas City [azztet, This money was used to help fund the Jazztet's trip to Washington D.C. in January to perform at the International Association of Jazz Educators (IAJE) Conference.

Those who worked with Bobby and those who listened to his imaginative music are certain that he would have approved of this valuable contribution. (.
