Music reviews of Ken Burns JAZZ Collection: Fletcher Henderson
Music Review: the Father of Big Band Jazz
Rating: 5 Stars
WHY IS THIS GREAT TITAN SO UNKNOWN?????!!!
Fletcher Henderson (1897-1952) and his genius band leading talents were the "envy" of Duke Ellington and was the leader, pianist, and writer/arranger of the most popular African-American band in New York in the 20's, at least until a young man named Duke Ellington and his Cotton Club Orchestra came along. Henderson, or "Smack" as he was called led a hot band which taught how to swing and smoked through the 20's, 30's and 40's and was the proving ground for up and coming players such as the great Louis Armstrong and Coleman Hawkins. Henderson was also an arranger for "King of Swing" and friend Benny Goodman. Henderson died in 1952 after a second stroke took the life of the great uncrowned KING OF SWING.
This is a great cd which has some of his hottest songs such as Shanghai Shuffle from 1924 (featuring a young cornetist who went by the name of Louis Armstrong) This cd features some of the greatest swing of the jazz age and it proves that Fletcher Henderson should be as popular as Duke Ellington.
