Paul Mares
Paul Mares( June 15, 1900 – August 18, 1949), was an American early dixieland jazz cornet& trumpet player, and leader of the New Orleans Rhythm Kings.
Mares was born in New Orleans.
His father, Joseph E. Mares, played cornet with the military band at the New Orleans lakefront and ran a fur and hide business.
Like many New Orleans cornetists of his generation, Joe Mares's main influence was" King" Joe Oliver.
About 1919 cornetist Abbie Brunies was offered a job playing in Chicago, and passed the offer on to Mares.
( Brunies thought his New Orleans position of doubling driving a taxi-cab and playing music was more secure than prospects in Chicago.)
Mares established himself as a respected band leader over a group of wild and strong willed musicians, as The New Orleans Rhythm Kings( N.O.R.K.) became one of the best regarded bands in Chicago in the early 1920s.
In late 1924 Mares returned to New Orleans.
He decided to play music on the side while taking over the running of his family fur& hide business.
He ran the business well and with his prosperity purchased 3 homes for himself and his relatives in New Orleans' new suburb of Metairie, Louisiana.
Mares's Metairie home was the site of a legendary jam-session in 1929 where Bix Beiderbecke and the other jazz playing members of the Paul Whiteman Orchestra jammed with the local New Orleans jazz musicians.
Mares also ran a restaurant in New Orleans called" The Chicago Bar- B- Q".
In the early 1930s he returned to Chicago where he opened up his" New Orleans Bar- B- Q" there.
The" P.M. New Orleans Bar- B- Q" became a gathering place for Chicago jazz musicians and home to numerous jam sessions, which Mares occasionally joined in.
Walking to New Orleans
"Walking to New Orleans" is a 1960 song by Bobby Charles, written for and recorded by Fats Domino.
Domino was a hero of Charles.
Domino had previously recorded the Charles tune "Before I Grow Too Old".
When Domino stopped on tour in Lafayette, Louisiana, he invited Charles into his dressing room, and regretted he did not have a copy of his new record to give to Charles, but invited Charles to come visit him in Domino's home of New Orleans.
Charles replied, "I don't have a car.
If I'd go, I'd have to walk.
"
Afterwards, the thought remained on Charles's mind, and he said he wrote the song for Domino in some 15 minutes.
After he got to New Orleans to accept Domino's invitation, Charles sang "Walking to New Orleans" for Domino.
Domino was enthusiastic about the number and made a few modifications to it, including adding a quote from his earlier hit, "Ain't That A Shame".
Dave Bartholomew made an orchestration for the backup band, and Domino with Bartholomew and band recorded it in Cosimo Matassa's studio on Rampart Street.
After the recording was made, Bartholomew decided to overdub a string section from the New Orleans Symphony.
Use of classical strings was unusual for early rock and roll.
Domino was at first somewhat surprised when Bartholomew played back the new version with strings, but warmed to the distinctive sweet melancholy sound it added.
The strings were arranged by Milton Bush, a trombonist who was the first-call string arranger at Cosimo's Studio.
Bush wrote the arrangements standing up in 10 minutes while Domino looked on.
He basically had the strings mimic the melody in the previous phrase.
When finished, Domino asked Bush how much he wanted for the arrangement.
Bush figured that $1 a minute was pretty good, so he charged Fats $10.
The song went on to sell over two million copies.
The record was a hit, released on Imperial Records, reaching #6 on the pop chart and #2 on the R&B chart.
In 2007, Neil Young covered the song on the album .
Fats Domino
Antoine "Fats" Domino Jr. (February 26, 1928 – October 24, 2017) was an American pianist and singer-songwriter.
One of the pioneers of rock and roll music, Domino sold more than 65 million records.
Between 1955 and 1960, he had eleven Top 10 hits.
His humility and shyness may be one reason his contribution to the genre has been overlooked.
During his career, Domino had 35 records in the U.S.
"Billboard" Top 40, and five of his pre-1955 records sold more than a million copies, being certified gold.
His musical style was based on traditional rhythm and blues, accompanied by saxophones, bass, piano, electric guitar, and drums.
His 1949 release "The Fat Man" is widely regarded as the first million-selling rock and roll record.
His two most famous songs are "Ain't That
A Shame" and "Blueberry Hill".
O Valencia!
" O Valencia!" is the fifth single by the indie rock band
The Decemberists, and the first released from their fourth studio album," The Crane Wife".
The music was written by The Decemberists and the lyrics by Colin Meloy.
It tells a story of two star- crossed lovers.
The singer falls in love with a person who belongs to an opposing gang.
At the end of the song, the singer's lover jumps in to defend the singer, who is confronting his lover's brother( the singer's" sworn enemy") and is killed by the bullet intended for the singer.
