[unintelligible name on the recording] on drums, Milt Hinton on
bass, Kenny Davern on clarinet, and Bob Wilber on clarinet. This
audio log includes some of the band members' banter with each
other in between songs, and jokes they make about Marty
Grosz. |

People are chatting and clapping. |
00:00:23 |
Sydney Bechet's "Swing Parade" begins to
play. Song from Soprano Summit's first
album. |
00:03:41 |
Bob Wilber announces the musicians and which
instruments they are playing. He announces that
next they will play an original song from their
upcoming Chiaroscuro album called, "Grenadilla
Stomp." He explains that his clarinet is made from
grenadilla wood, and jokes that Kenny Davern's
clarinet is made of hard rubber. The audience
laughs. He says, "Everyone to their own tastes."
You can hear Davern in the background say, "I'll
get you for that, Wilber." |
00:05:14 |
"Grenadilla Stomp" |
00:13:48 |
Bob Wilber (presumably) announces next song -
"Black and Tan Fantasy" by Duke Ellington |
00:14:21 |
"Black and Tan Fantasy" |
00:22:19 |
"Ole Miss" by W. C. Fields |
00:28:26 |
Bob Wilber [presumably] says, "The reason we
stand up after each number is not to acknowledge
your applause as so much as to air off certain
areas of the body which happen to be sticking to
the seat due to incredible humidity here in
Chicago." Someone from the audience asks when
Marty will sing. Wilber responds, "Marty sings
soon. He has a couple of numbers where we turn him
loose." |
00:29:16 |
Bob Wilber [presumably] says that the next
piece called "Song of Songs" is probably the most
requested piece they have in their library.
|
00:30:12 |
"Song of Songs" |
00:36:03 |
Song ends and Wilber says, "And now we'd like
to present our lovely vocalist, Chicago's own,
Marty Grosz ... otherwise known as 'send in the
clowns.'" |
00:36:38 |
Wilber announces that the next song is one
from Thomas Fats Waller called "How Can You Face
Me Now?" sung by Marty Grosz. Song begins to
play. |
00:41:00 |
Wilber announces that they will be playing
"Milneburg Joys" next. He makes some jokes about
the song and their concerts. |
00:41:48 |
"Milneburg Joys" |
00:49:05 |
Wilber announces the name of the drummer
again - Freddie Stohl. He also goes through the
names and musicians in the band again. |
00:49:33 |
Wilber announces the next song is "Chalumeau
Blue" (as well as the title of their next album).
"Chalumeau Blue" begins to play. |

... wending her way to the bandstand into the
hearts of hundreds." |
01:18:11 |
"A Porter's Love Song to His
Chambermaid" |
01:25:40 |
"I Wish That I Were Twins" begins to play.
(Before they start to play this song, Marty Grosz
[I think] tells a joke story about how Paul Newman
is his famous movie star twin.) |
01:31:20 |
"Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland" [tapes were
changed at about this point in the
recording] |
01:36:57 |

Archivist's note: In 1964 Down Beat magazine held three discussions with drummers, at three
locations. This recordings seems to be the third discussion,
held in Down Beat's Chicago office. Elvin Jones and Joe Morello are
interviewed by Don (no last name given). The event was covered
in the magazine's March 26, 1964 issue. LC engineer's notes: this file contains audio from the left track
of the tape, which was in reverse (highly unusual). This was
corrected in both preservation and access files. This suggests
the tape was recorded in the half-track mono format and later
altered on a quarter-track stereo machine. The audio is almost
completely inaudible from 00:24:50 to the end of the file but
there is audio. It sounds like poor erasure. |

Side 1 (right channel in the quarter-track stereo format;
01:35:42) LC engineer's notes: the tape appears to have been initially
recorded on a quarter track stereo machine at 3.75 ips on one
side only and later reused on a half-track mono machine recorded
on both sides and running at 7.5 ips. The audio in this file
corresponds to what would be the right channel of Side 1 in the
quarter track stereo format. Because of the incomplete erasure,
one can hear backwards audio of what would be Side Two of the
half-track mono rerecording bleeding over the audio as the file
progresses. This makes the file very hard to listen to, but it
was transferred for completeness sake, as well as historical
interest as the audio is an air check of Boston radio stations
WBCN-FM for the first 3:45, then WJIB-FM when it was a beautiful
music station.
