11 MP3 Songs
JAZZ: Swing/Big Band, BLUES: Rockin'' Blues
Details:
In 1998 Vassar Clements, the phenominal fiddler and father of "Hillbilly Jazz", and his adored wife Milly, came to see independent Nashville producer Fred Bogert with the idea of doing a project that would reflect Vassar''s passion for big band jazz. Fred''s work with Jazz composer/wind man Paul Zonn and their band, "The Acme Jazz Movers", fit nicely with Vassar''s taste for funky, bluesy jazz, and so the Little Big Band was born. Vassar and the Little Big Band recorded "Back Porch Swing" during 1998 and 1999 in the famous RCA Studio B in Nashville. They then played road dates around the country to share their music with Vassar fans and more in places like the Fillmore West and Grateful Dead- friendly venues up and down the US west coast and in the Norteast. During this time Vassar lost Milly to cancer, and Paul Zonn fell ill and passed away in 2000. Paul''s part in the band was picked up by eclectic wind man Bob Bowers, and the band continued to perform infrequently until Vassar''s health declined in 2004. This collection is a definitive statement of Vassar''s jazz genious, loved by critics and fans alike. It stands as part of this gifted, loving man''s musical legacy.
