A Song Is Born

We start at 9:30 in the morning, and please try not to be late. 653 00:39:59,205 --> 00:40:00,968 Give me a little help with the suitcase, and I won't be. 654 00:40:01,039 --> 00:40:03,166 - Glad to. - See you later, kids. 655 00:40:03,242 --> 00:40:04,266 Well! 656 00:40:06,210 --> 00:40:07,905 Excuse me. 657 00:40:09,748 --> 00:40:12,945 Please continue without me for a while, gentlemen. 658 00:40:18,856 --> 00:40:21,916 Now, to get back to the subject under discussion. 659 00:40:21,993 --> 00:40:27,021 If we can classify the various forms of jazz along with a series of cross references 660 00:40:27,098 --> 00:40:29,828 and make a record of the history of this type of music, 661 00:40:29,899 --> 00:40:33,027 I believe the work will be invaluable to the foundation. 662 00:40:33,103 --> 00:40:35,537 - Now, don't you agree, gentlemen? Yes, sure. 663 00:40:35,605 --> 00:40:37,129 That's good. And now that we're all agreed, 664 00:40:37,206 --> 00:40:42,075 in the vernacular I heard last night, let's start on the down beat and take off. 665 00:40:42,412 --> 00:40:43,606 He's got it already. 666 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,138 - Is that the correct way of phrasing it? - That's a good deal. 667 00:40:47,216 --> 00:40:50,310 Yes. Well, I believe in order to start... 668 00:40:52,553 --> 00:40:55,386 Gentlemen, we have accomplished a lot in the last three days, 669 00:40:55,457 --> 00:40:57,584 and we have many valuable records. 670 00:40:57,661 --> 00:40:59,754 Now, before we start on the history of jazz, 671 00:40:59,829 --> 00:41:02,923 someone mentioned yesterday a small combo doing jump 672 00:41:02,998 --> 00:41:04,363 with a head arrangement. 673 00:41:04,433 --> 00:41:05,764 I believe it was mister... 674 00:41:05,833 --> 00:41:08,529 - Tommy Dorsey. - Jimmy's brother. 675 00:41:08,603 --> 00:41:11,071 Yes. I'm sorry. You spoke of... 676 00:41:11,140 --> 00:41:13,108 It wasn't me, Professor. That's not my type. 677 00:41:13,174 --> 00:41:14,766 It could have been Mel Powell or Hamp. 678 00:41:14,843 --> 00:41:16,811 Yeah, they're experts at that jive. 679 00:41:16,878 --> 00:41:18,641 Well, then perhaps you gentlemen could help me. 680 00:41:18,713 --> 00:41:20,908 Sure. Mel and I used to play a lot of that stuff with Benny Goodman. 681 00:41:20,982 --> 00:41:22,006 Is that so? 682 00:41:22,082 --> 00:41:24,573 Well, could you play an example of the type of music? 683 00:41:24,652 --> 00:41:27,644 We'd be glad to. But Joe, our clarinetist, couldn't come. 684 00:41:27,722 --> 00:41:29,849 - That's too bad. - Can anyone here blow a clarinet? 685 00:41:29,923 --> 00:41:32,323 That's quite simple. Our Professor Magenbruch plays the clarinet. 686 00:41:32,392 --> 00:41:35,725 - Well, does he, Professor? I hardly think... - He's apt to be a little too square. 687 00:41:35,796 --> 00:41:37,354 He's quite proficient. I assure you. 688 00:41:37,430 --> 00:41:40,524 If you'll just get ready, I'll go and fetch him. 689 00:41:42,235 --> 00:41:44,897 Gentlemen. Gentlemen. I don't wish to interrupt, 690 00:41:44,970 --> 00:41:47,837 but we seem to need a clarinet to illustrate a new form of music. 691 00:41:47,907 --> 00:41:50,205 - Why, certainly, here you go. - Thank you very much. 692 00:41:50,276 --> 00:41:52,642 No, Magenbruch, we need you with it. 693 00:41:52,711 --> 00:41:53,735 You mean to play jazz? 694 00:41:53,812 --> 00:41:56,872 Yes, it's very likely you might be able to play your Umpateedle. 695 00:41:56,949 --> 00:41:58,610 Then, I better take my book along with me. 696 00:41:58,683 --> 00:42:00,173 - Yes. - Good, then we'll all go along. 697 00:42:00,251 --> 00:42:01,718 - Yeah, sure. - I think not, gentlemen. 698 00:42:01,785 --> 00:42:03,844 Perhaps you'd better continue with your work. 699 00:42:03,923 --> 00:42:05,390 I wish we could go, too. 700 00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:10,218 This is our Professor Magenbruch, gentlemen. 701 00:42:10,296 --> 00:42:11,695 - Hello. - Hello. 702 00:42:11,763 --> 00:42:14,391 - I see you have everything ready. - Is this the music here? 703 00:42:14,466 --> 00:42:15,990 Oh, no. We don't use any music. 704 00:42:16,067 --> 00:42:18,194 We haven't got anything written down, Professor. 705 00:42:18,269 --> 00:42:20,294 Well, we can't play without music. 706 00:42:20,371 --> 00:42:22,635 - Well, Benny Goodman used to. - Benny Goodman? I never... 707 00:42:22,706 --> 00:42:24,901 - Frisbee, did you ever hear of him? - No, no, I haven't. 708 00:42:24,975 --> 00:42:27,409 Perhaps there is something in this book that might help you, Magenbruch. 709 00:42:27,479 --> 00:42:29,071 - Yes. Yes. - Just sit down, Professor, 710 00:42:29,146 --> 00:42:30,909 and if you feel like it, you can join in. 711 00:42:30,980 --> 00:42:33,813 - Thank you. - Mel, let's steal some apple
