T-Bone Walker: T-Bone Blues
Source:
JazzWax by Marc Myers
In the early 1940s, when African-Americans in the South and Southwest moved north to the Midwest and west to Los Angeles in search of job opportunities at war-time factories, they packed their souls. As the Great Migration filled cities such as Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland and South Central in L.A., transplants from places such as Mississippi and Alabama longed for the Delta blues they heard back home. Once settled in cities, many of these migrants wanted the blues served up ...

Rob and Earl Swope: 'Bone Bros.

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Rob and Earl Swope were brothers, with Earl three years older. Both played a gorgeous, deft and spirited trombone. In the late 1940s, Earl played with Woody Herman while Rob played with Buddy Rich, Chubby Jackson and Gene Krupa. The brothers from Washington, D.C., were in the same trombone section on only a handful of recordings: with Elliot Lawrence's band in 1951, with Joe Timer and the Orchestra in 1953 and with Dizzy Gillespie in 1955. But in those bands, ...

You might not associate the trombone with the classic dub reggae sounds of Lee “Scratch” Perry, King Tubby, and Scientist. Super Hi-Fi, the Brooklyn-based ‘Afro-Dub’ band led by songwriter-producer-bassist Ezra Gale, is about to change that. Dub To The Bone, the band’s debut album, uses not one but two trombones to create sonic tapestries drenched in the warmth of analog tape. “Trombones are like violas,” says Gale. “They’ve always been under-appreciated instruments and even the butt of a lot of ...

Shawn Bell and His Hard-Bopping Bone: "Things yet Unknown"
Source:
Gapplegate Music Review by Grego Edwards
You don't need to be re-told this, but it is OK to revisit an historically older style if you are sincere, dedicated to it, have something to say in its idiom and do it convincingly. That would pretty much sum up Shawn Bell [on his recent Things Yet Unknown (self-released) album], his trombone, his compositions, his band and the Blue Note Classic Hard-Bop sound. It's a sextet with trombone, trumpet, fluegelhorn, piano, bass and drums. The three-horn front line lends ...

Yesterday, T Bone Burnett was stuck on a plane for five hours and took a moment to respond to just about every single Hypebot reader that mocked him for the somewhat shocking advice that he offered to musicians at the FMC Policy Summit. If you don't recall, he basically said that the best counsel he could offer an up-and-coming artist in today's climate is to, “Stay completely away from the Internet." Don't bother uploading your music to MySpace, because the ...

T Bone Burnett: New Artists Should "Stay Completely Away from the Internet."
Source:
HypeBot
T Bone Burnett had some choice words to give up-and-coming artists at the FMC Policy Summit last week: “Stay completely away from the internet." It's a rather provocative statement. The reason he gives is that once an artist joins the legions of bands on MySpace they've already lost. That by uploading their music to the web an artist instantly devalues their work and throws it on top of the growing and excessive pile of music. At his best, he also ...
