...Charlie Vinal Rhythm Kings last Sunday, and in its augmented form including trombonist. George Lugg, who was to join the band eventually. Before returning to New York on the N.H.R.R.'s midnight Owl, Lugg went out to Charlie Vinal's that night and recorded eight sides with Charlie, Johnny Windhurst, Ev Schwarz, and Jack Hart. Of course, these records will not be released, although if it weren't for wartime conditions (including my own status) I'd be inclined to issue the four best sides privately. The most successful efforts were "Squeeze Me" and "Tin Roof Blues," both in medium...
...rest of the band is made up of Johnny Windhurst, the sensational 17-year-old cornetist from New York who has moved to South Weymouth after a brief visit to Boston earlier this winter (an example of how a sincere mutual interest can draw people together in nothing flat), Evan Schwarz on piano, and George Ohlson on drums...
Charlie Vinal, Johnny Windhurst, and Ev Schwarz appeared last Sunday at the Jazz Club's ninth session of the season, with George Lugg coming up from New York to lend his trombone to the ensemble. George is currently with Ed Farley's band (which includes Rod Cless and Ken Duvallon of the old Art Hodes Columbia Five which served "Clarinet Marmalade" with bacon and eggs at Childs' 03rd Street Restaurant in New York). Lugg will be going to Canada for the rest of the month with the Farley band, and then opening at the Tic Toc here in town after...
...boys in the band, for this Sunday, will be Charlie Vinal (clarinet), Johnny Windhurst (cornet), George Lugg (trombone,) Ev Schwarz (piano), Johnny Fields (bass), Inky Ingersoll (banjo), and Jack Hart (drums). Johnny Windhurst, it will be recalled, came up from New York with Jim Moynahan '23, for a session last month. Since, then, he's moved to South Weymouth (living with Charlie Vinal). George Lugg is the veteran tailgate trombonist of Chicago jazz fame who appeared twice last summer at the Harvard Jazz Club's sessions with Art Hodes' band. He's making the trip up from New York...
...quartet consisting of Vinal, Windhurst, Schwarz, and Hart will play for the jazz fans, the intellectual curious, and the hardier dancers beginning a week from Friday night. Of course you can never tell who might sit in. An intriguing possibility presents itself when Louis Armstrong comes to Boston. Since the hand plays a good many of Louis' old tunes, such as "Muskrat Ramble," "Dippermouth Blues,' "Struttin' With Some Barbecue," "Sunset Cafe Stomp," "Big Butter and Egg Man," "Come Back Sweet Papa," and "Squeeze Me," you might stumble into the master himself dipping back into his very colorful past to play...
