Joaquín Maria Aguirre Romero

Otro gran trabajo de la orquesta de Les Brown con una joven vocalista que alcanzaría una gran fama, Doris Day. Preciosos este There's good blues tonight. Disfrútalo!

Wayne, I am in complete agreement with you about Doris and Les Brown. The recordings they made are pure magic! If anyone has any doubts about Doris as a singer, find My Lost Horizon (it's here on YouTube) and listen to the ease with which she sings those half tones . . . . perfect intonation, breath control and emotion. Gorgeous! Thank you Dayniac for posting this track!

I have everything Doris recorded with the Les Brown orchestra including, unbelievably, the first, slower, take of "Sentimental Journey," released by error in Italy. The music stands up amazingly well, even 70 years later. With Brown, Doris got material way above what many band singers had to contend with and there was a great variety, too--beautiful ballads, up-tempo rousers, swing numbers, novelties--and she handled it all consistent excellence. Her second time with the band her mother traveled with her and her son Terry; everyone loved Doris, her mother Alma and the kid, and Les always said he liked everything about Doris when he first met her. Alma, in Doris' words, loved people, "the more the better," and loved to gab. She was very active in the Hollywood Mother's Club, and by that point used the name Alma Day rather than Alma Kappelhoff. When Doris and Marty were having their home remodeled she wrote her good friend Mary WIckes that Alma was cooking up great dinners in the bathroom. Doris has a habit of making lifelong friends with the people she worked with, including band musicians and supporting actors in her films. She was well-known for making sure other actresses in her films got good lines (notably Polly Bergen in "Do Not Disturb") and was well-known for her enthusiasm and apparently endless energy. She wasn't fond of what came with being a star, particularly premieres and big events, and said more than once she could only get through them by pretending she was someone else and acting a part. Her dogs and her bicycles meant much more to her. One of her great joys about relocating to Carmel is she could go to the food market every day rather having her groceries delivered and do all the normal everyday things other people could do. I think her very difficult childhood in the end served her well. She had an innate understanding of what counts in life.

@sandaglad Gosh ...I've been collecting photos for years, All over the internet. Its so much fun to see her pre-Hollywood. So happy you enjoyed !

sandaglad

Where have you gotten all those great photos of Doris from the 40's? Good Lord she was pretty.

@martingb66 A lot of the big band singers started so young. Hard to believe. Doris was quite young when she started. I can't imagine being on the road with a band at such a young age !

MMfan1997

@martingb66 yep When she started singing with bands she was 14. I'm 14, can't believe she was singing at that I would freeze up if I sang in front of people!

@Dday21Mom Well said !! And new info for me - I didn't know about the radio broadcast. Thank you for that tidbit ! This is such a great song .... I just love to listen to it. So happy you enjoyed too !

Dayniac4324

@man975dog Yes... I'd say Hollywood definitely made Doris famous. I think Sentimental Journey probably brought her to the forefront. And she was on the radio and traveled with Bob Hope. She definitely hit the limelight with 1948's Romance on the High Seas.

A very famous but probably a rare photo collection of Doris Day when she sang this famous song with Les Brown and his orchestra in the 1940's. Even though Doris Day's career as a singer and entertainer started in the 1940's with this famous song, she probably wasn't famous until the 1950's when she was casted in many famous and nice films.

Dayniac4324

@martingb66 Yes - she actually began singing with bands at an early age - around 15 ! She was 22 at this recording - a veteran by this time ! Thank you ... happy you enjoyed.

In any case, back in the mid 1930's (or late 30's for the Blue Devils) writers knew EXACTLY what they were doing--just as they do now. Just that the style was more straightforward--rhythms easier, less dissonance, spacings between the instruments were closer, instruments were used conservatively in group voicings, etc. Much of this writing has its beginnings with ensemble rag-time dance music of the early 1900's. Just that the voicings became more dissonant (ie: maj 7ths) and more rhythmic.

Oh sorry, this is early 1970's--I'm not THAT old. Actually, the writing style is quite straight forward, and anyone who has a head for jazz and can write in a generalized classical style (as taught in theory and then applied compositon at a music college) can make a fairly easy transition, I think. Now when you get into writers like Skippy Martin or Dave Wolpe (both wrote for Les), then there are a lot of neuances and refinements many others would not have thought to build into a score . . .

Dayniac4324

Really ... did you know him during his Duke days ... and Blue Devil days ?? NO pointers.. I guess they didn't know .. they just did what they did. Thats interesting though !

I met Les when I was in my late teens and was just beginning music theory classes (classical type). I knew him to be a fine arranger, and asked him how I could learn to write big band music. And, he gave me his full attention, and said, "great question-I don't have the slightest idea! Hey Butch (Stone), if you needed to point someone in the right direction, what do think?" Butch didn't have any ideas. A few years later I got a hold of some original Brown scores and started to study . . .
