Recorded in 1955. Serge Chaloff-baritone sax, Boots Musulli-alto sax, Herb Pomeroy-trumpet, Ray Santisi-piano, Everett Evans-bass and Jimmy Zitano-drums. Serge Chaloff was born November 24, 1923 in Boston, Massachusetts. Both of his parents were prominent musicians and music teachers. His father Julius was a pianist and composer who played with the Boston Symphony. Julius wife Margaret taught piano, both privately and at such local institutions as the New England Conservatory of Music,Serge learned piano from both his parents between the ages of six and twelve, and also took clarinet lessons with Manuel Valerio of the Boston Symphony.By the early 1940s, he was playing tenor saxophone professionally with a Boston-area big band led by Tommy Reynolds, but he committed himself to the baritone soon afterwards. Both Harry Carney and Jack Washington, who played baritone sax with the Count Basie band in the 1930s were early influences on Chaloff as he worked as a sideman in various bands, including those led by Jimmy Dorsey, Shep Fields and Boyd Raeburn, whose orchestra was among those experimenting with carrying jazz instrumentation beyond swings conventions. While touring with Dorseys band in Los Angeles in September, 1946, Chaloff made his first recording as a small-combo leader - Blue Serge, an extended variation on Cherokee - for Ross Russells Dial Records. Already, Chaloff was demonstrating what he had learned from Charlie Parker and the bebop revolution, which at the time <b>...</b>

Alan Broadbent (piano); Brian Bromberg (bass); Joe LaBarbera (drums). Recorded at Castle Oaks Studios, Los Angeles, California on March 15 & 16, 2002. Alan Broadbent, MNZM (born April 23, 1947 in Auckland, New Zealand), is a jazz pianist, arranger and composer best known for his work with artists such as Woody Herman, Diane Schuur, Chet Baker, Irene Kral, Sheila Jordan, Charlie Haden, Warne Marsh, Bud Shank, and many others. Broadbent studied piano and music theory in his own country, but in 1966 went to the US to study at the Berklee College of Music.. In the 1970s he did both classical and jazz work, but from the eighties onwards he accompanied singers on piano. Later he gained note as an arranger of music and won two Grammies for arrangements he did with Natalie Cole and Shirley Horn. Broadbent's first two albums, "Song of Home" and "Further Down the Road," 1were recorded in New Zealand on the Tartar label (TRL-043 and TRL-052 respectively) in 1985. Broadbent is joined on those recordings by Andy Brown (bass) and Frank Gibson, Jr. (drums). Those early albums show a fascination (which still characterizes Broadbent's work) with reinterpreting a broad range of standards—he covers material as diverse as "What is this Thing Called Love?" (Cole Porter) and "Oleo" (Sonny Rollins). "Further Down the Road" also shows Broadbent's increasing confidence as a composer (the title tune, "Nictation" and "Don't Ask Why"). Broadbent's first US release, "Everything I Love," was recorded <b>...</b>

Born 4 January 1911, Puerta de Tierra, Puerto Rico. Died 14 January 1964, San Juan, Puerto Rico. One of the most popular Latin band leaders of the 1940s and 1950s. Morales grew up in a musical family, which was invited in 1924 to become the court orchestra of the president of Venezuela. Noro took over as conductor after his father died, eventually moving the band back to Puerto Rico. He moved to New York City in 1935 and within two years was leading his own rhumba band. Installed as the house band at the legendary club El Morocco, Morales was at the center of the rise of Latin jazz in the early 1940s. Xavier Cugat took Morales' composition, "Bim, Bam, Bum" and covered it for one of his earliest hits. Many of the great names in Latin music floated through Morales' band during this time: Machito, Tito Rodriguez, Tito Puente, and, later, Anglo musicians such as Doc Severinsen. Morales cut a distinctive figure on stage and off, with his large bald head and black mustache. One friend recalled that, "He was always well-dressed, shows shined, nails polished and reeked of expensive cologne....He loved women. He had to work steadily to pay the alimony his three wives collected." Morales remained a popular and successful act on the New York scene for over 20 years, appearing annually at the Daily News Harvest Moon Ball and working clubs such as the Copacabana and the China Doll. Although he was not averse to catering to popular tastes, Morales usually stayed true to his Latin roots <b>...</b>

Born on 6 April 1921, in Juncos, Puerto Rico and died Febuary 15, 2011. José Luis Moneró grew up to become one of the legends of the bolero genre in Puerto Rico, latin America and the United States. As an adolescent, he dreamed of being a singer and Moneró fulfilled that dream in 1938 when he joined his first orchestra, led by Mario Dumont. His fame grew quickly and led him to join the orchestra of Luis Morales, the brother of Noro Morales. His time with Morales was quite short since Moneró quickly changed to join the orchestra of Rafael Muñoz, where he worked for the next four years. These were perhaps his best and most productive years, during which he recorded his best work on the RCA Victor label. His voice embodied a melodic lyricism and he was acclaimed in songs such as Caminos de ayer, Di corazón, Enojo, Muñequita linda and Sin ti. But there was a dark side to the great vocalist: a love of alcohol that forced him to leave Muñoz. Moneró moved to New York in 1942 and found many opportunities including the orchestra of Noro Morales, José Curbelo and Siboney. During that time he also studied the trumpet but it was he vocal talents that brought him to the legendary Xavier Cugat orchestra in 1944. With Cugat, Moneró toured throughout Europe, the United States and Africa, and even appeared in no less than six motion pictures for the famous MGM Studios. Despite this success, he was hospitalized and nearly died due to alcohol abuse. The great force of his character helped <b>...</b>
