WE GT THE FUNK: Denson & Walter’s Belly Up Reunion

“That’s been acommon denominator in both Karl’s career and mine and in a lot of other musicians’. “But that’s not out of line with jazz at all. When it was popular music during the big-band era jazz was dance music. Since then it’s become more of a fine-art pursuit rather than a populist music. And that’s made the music highly irrelevant to the culture and made jazz a museum piece.

Page Cavanaugh dies at 86; pianist-singer led Southland jazz trio
Los Angeles Times CA
” “He was always a creatively fascinating artist throughout his long career” music critic Don Heckman told The Times. “What he did with his most famous group in the ’40s and ’50s was to develop a new style in which all three members of the group would sing in unison in a whisper fashion. “It was a time Heckman said “when jazz and popular music were in much closer sync than they are today so that groups like Nat Cole and George Shearing and Page Cavanaugh could play with a distinctly jazz flavor and still reach large audiences and sell a lot of records. The Page Cavanaugh Trio which placed in Top 10 polls in Down Beat and Metronome magazines from 1946 to the early ’50s had chart hits such as “The Three Bears” and “She Had to Go and Lose It At the Astor. ” Cavanaugh whose trio also performed at clubs such as Ciro’s and the Trocadero in the ’40s had his share of long-run gigs including regular stints at the Captain’s Table on La Cienega Boulevard in the early ’50s and at the Money Tree in Toluca Lake in the ’80s and ’90s. In the early ’60s he formed a seven-piece group The Page 7 that recorded for RCA and appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and other TV programs. Around the same time he opened his own club in Studio City.

It’s the discovery and release of those young emerging jazz artists of today that remain his passion. “As for his label’s focus ‘I can say that most of the Fresh Sound-New Talent sound is a modern mainstream jazz music from this century. ‘”By the early ’90s Pujol had recorded musicians on the local scene in Barcelona as well as more established US players based primarily on the West Coast. But it was a New York City experience that propelled him forward to concentrate on a new direction. “I still remember the day I think it was 1995 when I was at Smalls for the first time the old Smalls and I immediately felt that I wanted to record something like this. Because the kind of music I heard in that club had all the kind of energy I was looking for.
