- RARE OLDIES SOUNDIES WITH MR CHARLIE BARNET & HIS ORCHESTRA ! Charles Daly Barnet (October 26, 1913 September 4, 1991) was an American jazz saxophonist, composer, and bandleader. His major recordings were "Skyliner", "Cherokee", "The Wrong Idea", "Scotch and Soda", and "Southland Shuffle". Charlie Barnet was born in New York City. His parents divorced when he was two, and he was raised by his mother and her grandparents. His grandfather was Charles Frederick Daly, a vice-president for the New York Central Railroad, banker, and businessman. Barnet attended various boarding schools, both in the New York and Chicago areas. He learned to play piano and saxophone as a child. He often left school to listen to music and to try to gain work as a musician. Although he began his recording career in October, 1933, Charlie Barnet was at the height of his popularity between 1939 and 1941, a period that began with his hit version of "Cherokee", written by Ray Noble and arranged by Billy May. In 1944, Barnet had another big hit with "Skyliner". In 1947, he started to switch from swing music to bebop. During his swing period his band included Buddy DeFranco, Roy Eldridge, Neal Hefti, Lena Horne, Barney Kessel, Dodo Marmorosa, Oscar Pettiford, and Art House, while later versions of the band included Maynard Ferguson, Doc Severinsen, and Clark Terry. Trumpeter Billy May was an arranger in the Charlie Barnet Orchestra before he joined Glenn Miller in 1940. He was one of the first bandleaders to integrate his band; the year is variously given as 1935 or 1937. He was an outspoken admirer of Count Basie and Duke Ellington. In 1939, Basie once lent Barnet his charts after Barnet's had been destroyed in a fire at the Palomar Hotel in Los Angeles. Throughout his career he was an opponent of syrupy arrangements. In the song "The Wrong Idea", he lampooned the "sweet" Big Band sound of the era. In 1949 he retired, apparently because he had lost interest in music. He was able to retire when he chose because he was one of the few heirs in a very wealthy family. He occasionally returned from retirement for brief tours but never returned to music full time.

Big band music is America's greatest contribution to world culture.
I love when these musicians were still developing these songs almost along concerto grosso lines--theme and variation, tossing the main theme to different sections of the orchestra--and still adding in spirited improvisation. Where did popular music go wrong?
That's jazz for you!
It just can’t sell compared to the shorty more easily commodified radio songs. People want to listen to a song and connect more (strangely) in my opinion rather than appreciate the different forms and elements of the song. Video killed the radio star
Personally, I blame Paul Anka. No particular reason, I just didn't like Paul Anka.
MONEY!
My dad was a jazz bass player from the mid-30s, lived through, participated in what he called the aesthetic maturation of an entire culture, the music, the movies. Then came the war, his own, 3½ years overseas in five campaigns. When he returned, the country, combatants all, he thought, was shell-shocked, and bland took over until '55, when popular music, such as it was, devolved so far below our capacities, he was baffled till he died.
The last ten notes were about the coolest ten notes I have ever heard
I’m currently reading Malcolm’s book 📖. I’m addicted already lol
Just terrific..Good on Charlie.
It's a big hit! Smokin smooth with C. Barnet...
Malcolm X’s autobiography bought me here and he didn’t disappoint! This guy has soul ✊🏽
Hahaha literally reading right now and it brought me to this too. 😱The only band at that time to play at a black dance.
Malcom X brought me here!
I remember Cherokee in years gone by very popular in the big band era. It was a theme song on a radio program when I was little always liked it.
Danny Styles used this to open his radio show. I miss that show! When Radio still had a soul
"Pompton Turnpike" is among Charlie`s top three sellers along with "Cherokee" (from Ray Noble`s Indians Suite) and Skyliner. Best Wishes
Chris Pirie.
The original is better.
thumbs up if Malcom X brought you here
Khari Thorpe 😉
No
big time
I was reading the autobiography of Malcom X and saw him talking about the song so I googled it and got here.
Me too I think I'm going to look up every name that is the book.
one of my favorites. thanks for putting it up here.
Original version always the best
The original version was by the Ray Noble Orchestra in 1938
Mr. Peabody brought me here !
Malcolm X brought me here.
Nicky,
Wanted to say that I really enjoy all of your channels, through the various means: FB, UA-cam, Myspace, etc..
I grew up listening to my parents always cranking the Big Bands, loved going to see Woody Herman and His Thundering Herd a couple times over the years; and the Buddy Rich Orchestra 5 or 6 times...good times and great memories! :)
Wonderful!
lovely stuff!
Knockout! Great film! Thanks so much!
It seems that the soundies, which I always enjoyed and especially when hosted by my late mentor and friend in the USA, Al Collins, always sounded just a little different than the records issued. Not by a whole lot, but just enuff to tell.
The Ray Noble version which I also enjoyed very much, was my first exposure to his version and it was very welcome, but the Barnet version seems to have more punch.
On another subject. You mention the Palomar Hotel. Wow. I think I've just gotten an education because I always thought of it as purely a ballroom, a dance venue etc. I lived in that area and worked (in later years) at KFI which is almost across the street, but never heard it referred to as a hotel. So that's most interesting to me.
Among his hits was Caravan btw.
Actually, KFI isn't almost across the street, it is across the street and about a short block down from the site of the Palomar.
The ray noble one is fantastic
My high school fight song!! Slow it down and added war drums and the MIGHTY CHIEFS rode to VICTORY!! ALL THE WAY SANTA FE!!
That's pretty rad.
Very nice.
I found this Cherokee Love Song in The Real Book (play fast!) tried it out on the piano and then looked this up. Marvellous big band sound. Thanks for putting it up.
When music had class.
Rip to Darren Brent dad was a American saxophonist singer in the world I love your song every single day to remember you have lovely beautiful son and two daughters are beautiful grandnephews and grandnieces from Aamina khan 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
I brought myself here...
Trumpeter Billy May (back row 2nd from left) arranged this for CB.
J'aime, j'aime, j'aime ....
Mr JP
This gets better with age
Great stuff! Thank you for posting this!
Nah...I'm just a hepcat jazzer dude with pupils like pizza pans. Can-ya' DIG it? I KNEW...that-cha could!
Lance Kozlowski, there's a good chance it was filmed in 1951 or 1952. The title card read "Snader Telescriptions" which Wikipedia notes was filming such works for early television, apparently only in 1951-52. Wikipedia also notes that Barnet was retired after 1949, so this must have been one of those brief tours he did afterwards.
Dated 1950 in the title card...."MCML" it reads.
I love the part around 2:01, sounds likes a different song.
That is how the actual song sounds like, well except for the brass backgrounds: ua-cam.com/video/01gQWiz5fpY/v-deo.html
who's here from page 58?
My grandfather was a trumpet player during this time and played with Charlie Barnet, Billie Holiday, Lawrence Welk, Bobby Darin, Benny Goodman and a bunch of other folks.I'm trying to find some pictures or videos for family records and was wondering if anyone has ever heard of or came across records for Gene (Eugene) Deurmeier? There's a trumpet player in the back row, 2nd from right, who looks a bit like my grandpa, so if anyone can even identify the band in this video I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
+Erik Deurmeier I know who you are talking about, he was 3rd trumpet with the Glenn Miller orchestra I belive!
Any luck finding more info on your grandfather?
This song epitomizes post war America. The war is won. We’re all cruising west. To California, Arizona, anywhere but where we’ve been.
Here because Malcolm mentioned on his autobiography that this band was the only white band that was allowed to play in Black people’s dances at Roseland Ballroom, Boston!
Any idea when this was filmed? The quality is good and a few of the players have 'flat-tops' .... makes me think like 1949.
this was filmed in 1950
RIP to Danny Stiles!
wooooooooo!!!!!
Gravity's Rainbow brought me here
This is not a Soundie but a Snader Telescription musical short. Best wishes. Chris Pirie
...Duluoz got me here...
AND Billy May was my dad!
It's like the meat section at the supermarket picked up a bunch of horns.
What does this mean
@@alexbouffler8577 he’s referring to their clothes, saying they look like butchers
Actually, Ghoulardi brought me here.
Is this a Swing Song?
malcom x
1.5x for the Parker tempo
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO THE DRUMMER IS?
I think is Lou Fromm
Probably true....
I played trombone with Barnet in 1954 where we toured the South. Al Porcino and Don Ellis who was my roommate were with the band. I wrote about it in my autobiography, "Diary of a Young Musician Final Days of the Big Band Era-"-felixmayerhofer.com
Hey thanks for everything! Here’s something for fun: ua-cam.com/video/qDeVxNat4Hs/v-deo.html
