What I would give to be able to go back and be there.
Love the sound of the announcer, you know he was speaking through a ribbon mic! Unmistakable sound, what a treat this is. This stuff is so real, it almost makes me cry, it's so beautiful. Hearing this brilliant '38 band, like twas recorded yesterday...Wow! And, Forest...Oh Forest....my favorite!
As a vocalist, I insist on using those ribbon mics--they have such a nice warm tone!
She was from my hometown of Atlantic City. In fact, my sax teacher, Angie Merendino, played in the Steel Pier house band led by Alex Bartha. Both Helen and the great Ziggy Elman were in it until Benny Goodman "stole" 'em.
IT IS VERY SAD INDEED WITH ALL THE TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE THAT WE NO LONGER HAVE LIVE MUSIC LIKE THAT ON THE RADIO. HOW MUCH POORER WE ARE AND THE GREATEST GENERATION THE MUCH RICHER!
I simply call it a complete dumbing down of America. sad how stupid we are. look at baby goo goo gaa gaa. yep. wearing meat for an outfit her butcher father gave her. doesn't get lower than that. yep. our goose was cooked years ago.
It's not just in the USA.
This was 1938 and Swing was fresh and new, but by 1948 it was pretty much played out. Helen had a few more hits into the early fifties, but then Rock & Roll came along and the Big Band era was over.
A slice of the artistry that was Artie Shaw. It seems that Artie's organization was operating at a whole other level from many of the other bands of the time.
Imagine being able to tune a live broadcast like this just about any night of the week. What a time to be alive!
My father don daniels played with Artie Shaw. Trombonist. Amongst the other greats. Glen miller tommy Dorsey glen miller buddy Cole Stan Kenton Gus irnhien. Loved all their music. Also some other famous musicians Just can’t remember all their names but wow they were the best Oh. And jimmy dorsey.
It is so refreshing listening to real music.
Thank you for sharing.
Artie Shaw forever... brilliant!
The absolute finest big band clarinetist, period.
I could just hang out here forever... "Thanks For Everything" starts out very similarly to "They Say". When I was in my 30s I decided I really wanted to learn clarinet, thanks to this amazing artist. The first song I taught myself to play along with was "They Say". Thank you for your efforts. They are truly appreciated her in California!
The Big Band era collapsed after WWII. Without support from the movie industry, and military, a traveling band of 20+ was just too expensive. Acoustic music was replaced by three or four rock and rollers with big amplifiers. Bill Haley helped pave the way with his 6-7 pc band playing a new version of swing music. What we have now is Crap, with a capital "C". The Crap reflects the Culture.
NICE PRESENTATION RALF
I love how in some instrumental pieces the crowd talks a bit, or at least a bit louder as you would expect, but as soon as a vocalist is announced prior to a song the attendees quiet down for the entire piece.
A very respectful audience indeed!
Helen was 21 when that was recorded. She had an amazingly powerful voice and beautiful phrasing even at that young age!
Orquestra maravilhosa, sensacional e Artie Shaw é lindo sensível extraordinário!
Wonderful idea Ralf! Absolutely love this recreation stereo version. Reminds me of how you hear things in person when wandering around a nightclub or a dance hall. In fact, I heard all the Big Bands at Disneyland where I worked in the 1970's. Many Big Bands reprized their glory days on the road from the 30's and 40's at Disneyland in the 70's and it soon became a mecca for Big Band buffs! This sounds just like what I used to hear wafting over from Carnation Gardens all day and all night long backstage !
Великолепно и ностальгично.
Excellent recording and restoration.
Thank you! 🙂 Artie Shaw (and his Orchestra) forever!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful post.
Todos são muito bons de e Artie é super lindo maravilhoso
Thios Video is breath taking for me. I can not explanine, wy. The best song, for me is "Stardust"
Wonderful thank you for post this I love it
Hallo Ralf! Echt super! Da staunt so mancher, von meinen Freunden, wenn ich UA-cam Session über die Musikanlage mache. 🤠 Und über Kopfhörer bekommt man wirklich was auf die Ohren. Weiter so! Grüßle aus dem Schwabenland😋
Thank you so much for this!!
TY for the upload :-)
I'm planning to make one of his originals: "Gloomy Sunday" from 1940 to change to full stereo version in the close future.
I want to be there now...
The music is great; thank you. But, please...turn off the "large room effect," the echo or reverb; it distracts and distorts rather than enhances. Thanks.
This is acoustic, as recorced
reverb on a mono record is like the disgusting duophonic effect or like the 'electronically rechanneled for stereo" use the 'natural accoustics' algorithm to properly give 'spatialization' based on microphone dynamics
O melhor Star Dust que ouvi, comparando com as big bands foi com Artie Show.
muy bueno raphsiebert,un 10
This is what I'm talking about!
The echo chamber effect is a bit too much, but appreciate the post greatly.
Corrigindo Artie Shaw.
it's only a reverb effect you hear. I had this complete concert and believe me, it never was stereo. I can make it real stereo with my harmonic extract technique.
Well then, what are you waiting for? We need more great music!
Artie married Ava Gardner, & blew it. Of course, even Frank Sinatra couldn't hold her.
Thank you, Ralf. I love the enhanced sound.
Man, Helen's skirt is really short for 1938!!! I can hear older ladies shouting in horror! heh heh
The reverb is killing me.
Was the reverb added was it just because it was recorded in a large hotel ballroom with less than perfect acoustics?
Fascinating and great sound. Did you create the stereo effect or did NBC record this in stereo?
+Doug Danzeisen
No, not NBC ... I did that, because I was in the mood for that wonderful music.
Every song was a great hit at that time and I would say ... until today. Am I right?
Stereo technology wouldn't come along until the 50s. Columbia Records (CBS) pressed the first stereo LPs in 1958.
Ralf Siebert You got it Ralf
wannawatchu66 Widespread use of stereo, as you say, would not come until the late 1950s. It was very common for studios to use "Pick ups" from various locations in band and orchestra recordings much earlier than that. These were used to create stereo recordings of the Glenn Miller movies "Orchestra Wives" 1942 and "Sun Valley Serenade" from 1941.
I also have a real stereo recording of Artie Shaw made in the 1940s, again from a movie soundtrack, and if memory serves an experimental stereo recording from the 1920s.
Technology did not allow widespread use until the late 1950s, but the technology and knowledge existed MUCH earlier than that, and was used in limited and experimental recordings fairly widely.
Doug Danzeisen Yeah, I think Edison cut some things in stereo, now that you mention it. I'd long since forgotten.
I honestly don't care for the sound he sounds like he's playing in a tunnel there's no presence to the band.
+phredl
No, it is more like in a big ballroom with modern accustic, and the Announcer is a little bit more far away from the audience.
+phredl I kind of agree I prefer the other good sound ,,at this time they were discovering stereo but the sounds itself got a lill bit damaged
Lots of reverb.
Absolutely terrible enhancement
The reverb ruins it.
At the end of the video you can see the original LP and CD-Cover! If you love the music without the reverb buy it. It is your decision!
It disturbs a lot !
To fast, I think
Wonderful music.Awful sound quality.
Music that's actually musical. What a concept. Artie was far from perfect but he didn't stick his tongue out six inches or bite the heads off bats on stage and call it entertainment.
