Hal Kemp 1936


A nice little Adolph Zukor short from 1936 featuring the Hal Kemp Orchestra. Performances include Maxine Gray ( a real cutie!) singing "I'm Building Up To An Awful Letdown," Skinnay Ennis singing "The Bride Comes Home," the dance team of Charlie Baron and Joan Blair performing to a snappy version of "Stop, Look, and Listen," and comic vocalist Saxey Dowell slurring his way through "Ten Little Bottles." Ah, the end of Prohibition! Guitar nuts will note that the guitarist plays a vintage Rickenbacker "Frying Pan" electric Hawaiian guitar behind Maxine Gray's vocal. The Frying Pan was the first commercially successful guitar designed and manufactured by Adolph Rickenbacker. This short was originally released on video in 1984 by Swing Time Video.

Hal Kemp - How I'll Miss You (1929)


Hal Kemp led the most popular and the most musical sweet band of the mid-1930s. With muted trumpets and full clarinet tones, its distinct sound earned it a large and dedicated following. Always the friendly, Southern gentleman, Kemp was well-liked by everyone and treated his musicians well. Bandmembers often referred to Kemp's orchestra as a ''fraternity.'' Kemp studied piano, trumpet, alto sax, and clarinet as a youth. He worked local movie theaters as a teen and formed his own orchestra in high school. In 1922 he entered the University of North Carolina, where he was highly involved in extracurricular activities, belonging to two fraternities, the drama club, the glee club, and the school band and orchestra. He also formed his own campus jazz group, the Carolina Club Orchestra. The band recorded for Okeh Records and toured Europe during summers. He also formed a smaller seven-man combo which featured future stars John Scott Trotter, Saxie Dowell, and Skinnay Ennis. In 1927 Kemp turned leadership of the Carolina Club Orchestra over to fellow UNC student Kay Kyser and formed a professional jazz orchestra of his own, which included Trotter, Dowell, and Ennis. The early orchestra also featured, at various times, trumpeters Bunny Berigan and Jack Purvis. Based in New York, the group often toured Europe.

Hal Kemp and his Orchestra - I Don't Care (1928)


Hal Kemp (March 27,1904 Dec.21,1940) was a jazz alto saxophonist, clarinetist, bandleader, composer, and arranger. He was born in Marion, Alabama and died in Madera, California following an auto accident. Art Jarrett took on leadership of Kemp's orchestra in 1941. At the University of North Carolina he formed his own campus jazz group, the Carolina Club Orchestra. The band recorded for Okeh Records. He also formed a smaller seven-man combo which featured future stars John Scott Trotter, Saxie Dowell, and Skinnay Ennis. In 1927 Kemp turned leadership of the Carolina Club Orchestra over to fellow UNC student Kay Kyser and formed a professional jazz orchestra of his own based in New York City, which included Trotter, Dowell, and Ennis and trumpeters Bunny Berigan and Jack Purvis. The sound was "sweet", using muted trumpets and full clarinet tones. One of the main reasons for the band's success was arranger John Scott Trotter. None of the trumpeters could sustain notes and play legitimate tones, so Trotter muted the trumpets and introduced staccato triplets into the charts. This gave the band a unique sound, which Johnny Mercer jokingly referred to as like a "typewriter." The clarinets played simple, sustained notes, often through megaphones. On December 19, while driving from Los Angeles to a booking in San Francisco, his car hit another head on. Kemp suffered multiple broken ribs and a punctured lung. He developed pneumonia while in the hospital and two days later passed <b>...</b>

"You're The Top" is a Cole Porter song from the 1934 musical Anything Goes. It is about a man and a woman who take turns complimenting each other. The best selling version was Paul Whiteman's Victor single, which made the top five. It was the most popular song from Anything Goes at the start with hundreds of parodies. The lyrics are particularly significant because they offer a snapshot as to what was highly prized in the mid-1930s, and demonstrate Porter's rhyming ability Hal Kemp (March 27, 1904 -- December 21, 1940) was a jazz alto saxophonist, clarinetist, bandleader, composer, and arranger.

Alice Faye, Orch. Hal Kemp - Don't play with fire (1937)


Alice Faye (born Alice Jeane Leppert on May 5, 1915 - May 9, 1998) was an American actress and singer. She started her career as a singer, but later gravitated to film roles. She went on to star in Tinseltown's popular and lucrative cookie-cutter musicals and with her distinctive contralto, introduced several songs that became pop standards. Her movie career ended in 1945 when Betty Grable replaced her as Hollywood's favorite musical-comedy actress. Her life after Hollywood was charmingly simple. She was married to Hoosier Phil Harris from 1941-1995 in a union that produced two daughters. She had previously been married to Tony Martin for four years. Alice had always said that her family always came before her professional life. Four days after her birthday on May 9, 1998, Alice Faye died in Rancho Mirage, California of natural causes. She was 83 years old. Alice Faye, Orch. Hal Kemp - Don't play with fire (1937)
