Buck Clayton: The Swinging Trumpet Behind the Kansas City Sound

Introduction: Known for his warm tone, elegant phrasing, and ability to blend seamlessly with other musicians, Buck Clayton is one of the unsung heroes of the jazz trumpet. As a key member of the Count Basie Orchestra and a defining force in the Kansas City jazz scene, Clayton’s contributions to swing, his compositional talents, and his engaging soloing style left a lasting imprint on jazz.…

James Witherspoon (August 8, 1920 – September 18, 1997) was a jump blues singer.

He first attracted attention singing in Calcutta with Teddy Weatherford’s band, which made regular radio broadcasts over the Armed Forces Radio Service during WWII. He made his first records with Jay McShann’s band. He first recorded under his name and two years later with the McShann band, he had his first hit, “Ain’t Nobody’s Business,”[ a song that came to be regarded as his signature tune. He had hits with two more songs closely identified with him—“No Rollin’ Blues” and “Big Fine Girl”—and also with “Failing by Degrees” and “New Orleans Woman”, recorded with the Gene Gilbeaux Orchestra (which included Herman Washington and Don Hill) for Modern Records. These were recorded at a live performance at a “Just Jazz” concert in Pasadena, sponsored by Gene Norman. Another classic composition is “Times Gettin’ Tougher Than Tough”.

He was born in Gurdon, Arkansas. His father was a railroad worker who sang in local choirs, and his mother was an avid piano player. Hegrandson Ahkello Witherspoon is the starting cornerback for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He joined the Merchant Marines. In the 1995 film Georgia, he portrayed Trucker, a traveling, gun-collecting blues singer who has a relationship with the troubled character Sadie, played by Jennifer Jason Leigh.

He played Nate Williams in The Black Godfather (1974) and Percy in To Sleep with Anger (1990). #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Jazz Play Along - You Stepped Out of a Dream

Jazz Play Along - You Stepped Out of a Dream by Gus Kahn (words) and Nacio Herb Brown (music)

Play Jazz Standards! Sheet music - Noten

https://youtu.be/0eN5awLjL1o

"You Stepped Out of a Dream" is a popular song with music written by Nacio Herb Brown and lyrics by Gus Kahn that was published in 1940. The song has become a pop and jazz standard, with many recorded versions. It was a centerpiece in the 1941 musical Ziegfeld Girl, in which it was sung by Tony Martin and accompanied an iconic image of Lana Turner walking down a grand staircase. Although Turner never officially sang or recorded the song, it became her theme song during her peak years as one of Hollywood's top leading ladies, often played when she entered a nightclub or restaurant. The song is played in the film The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) during a murder scene. The song was added to the Chichester/London 2012 Revival version of the musical Singin' in the Rain. Many artists have performed other versions of this jazz standard, as: Dave Brubeck – 1950 Peter Cincotti Nat King Cole Ray Conniff Eddie Lockjaw Davis Teddy Edwards The Four Freshmen Art Garfunkel Stan Getz – 1950 Dexter Gordon – A Swingin' Affair (1962) Johnny Griffin and Martial Solal – In and Out (1999) Johnny Hartman – This One's for Tedi (1985) Shirley Horn – You Won't Forget Me (1990) Barney Kessel – Kessel Plays Standards (1955) Kay Kyser Guy Lombardo Warne Marsh Johnny Mathis – Wonderful, Wonderful (1957) Glenn Miller with Ray Eberle – 1941 Brew Moore Lennie Niehaus – Vol.1: The Quintets (1954) Sonny Rollins with J.

Reading Questions

Tagged by @werewolves-are-real​, hi!

1. Which book has been on your shelves the longest?

Probably In the Beginning: Creation Stories from Around the World by Virginia Hamilton with Illustrations by Barry Moser. My grandmother was wild for classical (Greek and Roman and Egyptian mostly) history, and she put a lot of effort in trying to get me interested too. Effort well spent, I’ve still got a real soft spot for ancient history, art and mythology. 

2. What is your current read, your last read and the book you’ll read next?

I last read Rejected Princesses, (my Christmas gift to myself this year), and I’m currently reading The Secret History of the Mongol Queens  by Jack Weatherford (I wasn’t kidding about loving history,) though my next read is probably going to be Trigger by Neil Gaiman. I have it, but I’ve yet to crack it open past the foreword yet. 

This is all on top of the absurd amount of fanfic I read, one of these days I’ll cut back, I swear, but I’m reading at least 15 things as they update at the moment.

3. Which book does everyone like and you hated?

I’ve never actually come across a universally loved book, but either way I never saw the appeal of Twilight. I read the first one and found it alternately a total snoozefest and completely aggravating, but eh, my taste has never been universal. Oh and Game of Thrones. Did not see the appeal. Dreary rapefest with eternal churn of halfway likeable characters either dying or succumbing to the setting’s political pressures to become completely unlikeable.

4. Which book do you keep telling yourself you’ll read, but you probably won’t?

Beowulf. I have it on my shelf in orange Penguin paperback edition, but I already know the story pretty well, so there isn’t much draw to finish it/

5. Which book are you saving for “retirement?”

It hasn’t been written yet.

6. Last page: read it first or wait till the end?

I haven’t done this since I used to read horror. I generally prefer to read books in sequence.

7. Acknowledgements: waste of ink and paper or interesting aside?

Interesting aside sometimes, depends on the writer and how they’re acknowledging the people. Fun fact, I’m in the acknowledgements of at least two books, though the second one isn’t exactly what you’d call well-circulated. 

8. Which book character would you switch places with?

I actually like my life, but if I had to pick a book character’s life, I pick Lettie Hatter’s. Women’s rights seem pretty okay in that world, Lettie gets to learn magic, and as she’s not a main character she doesn’t have to put up with the same level of stress as her sister Sophie. Also she doesn’t have to deal with Howl for more than a few weeks, which I imagine is about the level of exposure I could deal with before I’d do a reasonable impression of his poor sister.

9. Do you have a book that reminds you of something specific in your life (a person, a place, a time)?

Once I was reading the Merlin Conspiracy by Diana Wynne Jones on a bus back from Sydney that we were sharing with another school. We’d been at this big combined choirs event, singing at Sydney Town Hall, very cool. Anyway, so I looked up from my book to see that this girl from the other school sitting across the aisle from me was reading the same book! That hardly ever happens to me before or since, so I remembered that.

10. Name a book you acquired in some interesting way.

Breeze and Mugara’s Magic Stones by  Margaret Hodgson. I got a free copy because I gave feedback on it to the author while she was still writing it.

11. Have you ever given away a book for a special reason to a special person?

I especially bought a copy of Fearless Girls , a collection of folktales from around the world focussing on women and girls for my friend’s baby daughter Teddy. I want her to grow up knowing that she can be a badass, and stories are such a great way to teach that.

12. Which book has been with you to the most places?

The book that went the furthest with me was whichever book I took with me to Japan, but that was ten years ago so I can’t actually remember which one it was. It might have been Deep Secret by Diana Wynne Jones come to think of it (I went through a pretty strong phase).

The book that has been with me to the most places though is probably Charlie and the Chocolate Factory  which was the very first novel my mother bought for me, but my copy disintegrated years ago, and I think I left it behind about two moves ago. 

13. Any “required reading” you hated in high school that wasn’t so bad ten years later?

I haven’t really reread much that I read back in highschool, but I think I appreciate Pride and Prejudice more now. I still loathe Brave New World (I think Huxley was right, I just hate how he made his point).

14. What is the strangest item you’ve ever found in a book?

I have found so very many weird and wonderful things in books but if you mean physical objects then Id have to go with the book that had a butter knife bookmark.

15. Used or brand new?

Either or. My favourite bookshop in the world is Gould’s in Newtown which is like what if Belle’s library was a second hand bookstore.

16. Stephen King: Literary genius or opiate of the masses?

You kinda need to be at least somewhat the former to be successful at creating the latter. I mean it’s generally not my cuppa, but the man is good at what he does.

17. Have you ever seen a movie you liked better than the book?

I thought Peter Jackson’s take on the Lord of the Rings was better paced than the books. Pretty epic, without the lengthy prose breaks. Though honestly I’d probably like those books better on a reread.

18. Conversely, which book should NEVER have been introduced to celluloid?

Casino Royale.

No, hear me out.

Yes, the James Bond films are entertaining, and yes, the more recent ones were largely fairly well-made (everyone seems to pretent Quantum of Solace never happened) but dear god the horrible things they’ve reinforced in our culture. If anything the books are worse and better for being more overtly written by a misogynistic sociopath rather than being jokey joke parodies reinforcing the same themes.

19. Have you ever read a book that’s made you hungry, cookbooks being excluded from this question?

Ooooh yeah. Like Water for Chocolate that book goddamn. Also has all the recipes IIRC so :)

20. Who is the person whose book advice you’ll always take?

My partner has pretty good taste... I’ll usually at least try what he suggests.

Okay, tagging ummmm:

@auressea @tehanufromearthsea @bootsnblossoms @bookobsessedforever  @socialistguineapigs and @gehayi if any of you want to answer this one cool, if not eh, as you were :)

25 Crazy Cool Collections in DFW

It was actually the installation of three painted pianos in downtown Dallas that inspired this article. I wondered how many out of the ordinary collections and displays I could find around DFW, and it turned out to be quite a few. Use our links and maps to see these offbeat art pieces and artifacts.

A Quirky Assortment

If you’ve lived in North Texas, you’ve heard of a few of these, but I also found some that may surprise you. All of these goofball (but sometimes serious) collections are must-see sights for DFW locals and visitors alike.

Painted Pianos in Historic Downtown Mansfield

I was pretty surprised to learn that Mansfield has painted pianos too. Called the Mansfield 88 Piano Project, there are currently 9 painted pianos located in various parts of the city’s historic downtown. “Downtown Mansfield” is the name of a free app you can download (iOS or Android) to guide you to the pianos and other public art plus services, shopping, dining and more in Mansfield.

400 Cowboy Hats Art Piece in Fort Worth

Photo courtesy of Fort Worth Public Art

Around here, star-shaped art is moderately commonplace. This particular star is definitely not your ordinary art. It’s 28 feet wide and suspended from the ceiling at the Fort Worth Convention Center. What makes it a collection is the fact that the star is covered with 400 cowboy hats – all donated by the local, locally famous, or nationally known people who wore them. Artist Donald Lipski named the piece Intimate Apparel and Pearl Earrings. It’s free to view if you’re in the convention center when there’s not a scheduled event.

Five Recreated Entire Rooms from World-Renowned Art Collectors in Dallas

Almost every museum in existence contains a few oddball art pieces or exhibitions, and the Dallas Museum of Art is no different. For over 30 years, a 16,500-square-foot wing has been the home of an actual home. Well, it’s not really a home, but it’s a recreation of five rooms where Wendy and Emery Reves lived in the south of France.

The villa was designed by Coco Chanel, and over a thousand art pieces were displayed there. In the recreated bedroom, dining room, salon, library, and hall, you will see over a thousand art pieces including works by impressionist painters Cézanne, Gauguin, Manet, and Monet. Their collection also included sculpture by Auguste Rodin and even some artwork by Winston Churchill, who was a frequent guest in their home.

This exhibit is part of the permanent collection at the DMA, so it’s all free to see.

A Park Decked with Teddy Bear Statues in Highland Park

The Turtle Creek Dam bridge and its surroundings are part of a beautifully landscaped city park in Highland Park. The park has been listed so many times in “hidden places in Dallas” articles that it’s no longer a secret of any kind, but it’s still a fun place to hang out.

You see, amid the mature trees and near the Read Memorial fountain you’ll find four (much) larger than life statues – of teddy bears! The biggest one is taller than most adults – stand beside it, hug it, or sit on its lap for an iconic Dallas selfie.

The Chairy Orchard in Denton

Photo courtesy of The Chairy Orchard

Chairy is not a typo here – this is no grove of cherry trees, but a mini orchard full of chairs. I said mini, because when you go, if you’re looking for a huge field or a park-like place, you’ll drive right by it. The Chairy Orchard was dreamed up by two Dallas businesswomen who are also neighbors. It occupies a vacant lot between their houses in a residential neighborhood.

The lot sits back from the street a ways, but you can definitely see it when you arrive. Walk through the lawn a few yards, and you’ll be surrounded by an incredible assortment of all kinds of chairs, mostly donated by the people of Denton. The collection of crazy chairs just keeps growing, and it’s a truly magical place for a professional or an impromptu photo shoot.

This unique attraction in Denton is free to visit, but you can purchase a pen or a cup on-site or a T-shirt online to support the project. Its Facebook page tells us there are exciting improvements ahead and mentions that they are working with Valley Quest Design – a local landscape architecture firm.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not and its Free Outdoor Sculpture Garden in Grand Prairie

Photo courtesy of Ripley's Believe It or Not! (Grand Prairie, TX)

It would be hard to argue against Ripley’s Believe it or Not as the wackiest collection in DFW. Its Odditorium and Wax Museum are just two of the five attractions on site. Prices vary, and combo tickets for multiple attractions are available.

Parking is free at the Ripley’s, and before you head inside (or even if you don’t), you can wander through their outdoor sculpture garden. It’s got a giant ball of barbed wire, a set of three chromosaurs (dinosaurs modeled out of chrome auto parts), and an oversized gorilla (also made of auto parts.) Add in a few more oddball statuary and you’re in for a fun time and some unbelievable photos!

Japanese Samurai Armor in Dallas

Photo courtesy of The Ann & Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Museum: The Samurai Collection

This collection isn’t wacky, but it’s a little bit crazy that the largest collection of Samurai armor outside of Japan is right here in Dallas. The Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Museum is on the second floor, directly above Saint Ann restaurant, so the location is a bit quirky as well.

The armor and other artifacts come from the Barbier-Mueller’s personal collection in which they amassed over a thousand treasures over the last 25 years. Many of the helmets, masks, and horse equipment objects are on display at the museum, while others are loaned to traveling exhibits, and still more are displayed in lobbies of the Dallas real estate developer’s buildings.The museum (like most others in DFW and nationwide) is closed on Monday, but has public hours six days a week and is free. (Tuesday evening cocktail events require a small admission fee and include a tasty beverage.)

Tools of the Funeral Service Trade (Circa Late 1800s) in Grapevine

Photo courtesy of Tarrant County Historical Commission Friends

One of the oldest funeral homes in North Texas, J.E. Foust & Son Funeral Home has been in continuous operation since 1880. On the north end of their property, on Main Street in historic downtown Grapevine, you’ll encounter a small building with glass walls. Inside the display room, you can view a horse-drawn hearse, several coffins, and other items unique to the funereal business. A historical marker outside the display pays tribute to the Foust family and their civic as well as business contributions to Grapevine.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (Not to Mention Motorcycles)

The Dallas area has a wide range of activities, museums, and exhibits related to modern methods of travel. These examples have some very interesting collections.

Artifacts from the Hindenburg and Other Dirigibles in Dallas

This exhibit is one of 13 collections at the Frontiers of Flight museum. From the earliest attempts at flight to space flight and much, much more in between, you’ll see some awe-inspiring things here. Open 7 days a week, the museum’s admission fee is modest, and parking is free.

Other Flying Collections

If you love plane-centered museums, DFW has kind of a collection of those. In addition to the Frontiers of Flight Museum, you may also want to check out the CR Smith Museum, the Vintage Flying Museum, or the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison.

Real Railroad Cars and Locomotives in Frisco

DFW has numerous museums surrounding the railroad industry which breathed life into the area and made it what it is today. We even have an operative Vintage Railroad train, and we have the largest permanent model train display in America. I may have to round those up for you in a future story, but for now, let me tell you about the Museum of the American Railroad in Frisco. You can read more about the train fun in DFW here.

Originally opened in Fair Park in 1963, the museum and its contents were physically moved to Frisco starting in 2008. Tours of the rolling stock are still somewhat limited. Please check the website for details before visiting the museum.

Vintage Cars in Weatherford

There are surprisingly few car collections in DFW. (I guess all the cars are on dealer lots or on the freeways!) But in one suburb of Fort Worth, you can view a collection of classic automobiles at the free Vintage Car Museum & Event Center. Even more cool classic cars are on display at the Vintage Grill across the street.

Of course, if you want to make the five-hour drive out to Amarillo, you can stop by the iconic Cadillac Ranch.

Rare Motorcycles in Dallas

Photo courtesy of Haas Moto Museum & Sculpture Gallery

There’s a new museum in town, and you’ve never seen anything like it. At age 70, Dallas financier and former National Geographic aerial photographer Bobby Haas has outdone himself yet again. His latest claim to fame is the newly opened Haas Moto Museum in the Design District.

The museum showcases over 100 classic, custom, and vintage motorcycles as well as sculptures and artwork that celebrate motorcycle culture over a span of 12 decades. The cycles are all from Haas’s personal collection which he started amassing after riding a motorcycle for the first time at age 64.

The museum will be closed from until September 3rd to refresh its exhibits, so make plans to visit after Labor Day.

Bonus: It’s not in DFW, but one of a very few things I’d drive to Houston to see is their Art Car Museum.

Before Planes, Trains, or Automobiles

Before the advent of trains made diversifying the area’s economy possible, cattle were a large source of income for many North Texans. The DFW area has its own collection of cattle drive art paying tribute to those days.

Three Cattle Drive Bronze Installations in Dallas, Plano, and Frisco

Pioneer Plaza in Dallas

Photo courtesy of Dallas Segway Tours

Texas artist Robert Summers began creating this installation for the city of Dallas in 1992. With 49 six-foot-tall steers and 3 cowboys, it was (at the time) the largest bronze sculpture installation in the world. (It’s still the largest cattle drive sculpture anywhere.) Located in a City of Dallas park near the convention center, the cattle seem to wander over a limestone ridge and through a nearby water feature straight into the heart of downtown.

Trails in Legacy near Baccus Plaza in Plano

Also by Robert Summers, this cattle drive stretches down Bishop street over the course of several blocks. This gives the effect of a realistic trail drive with some riders and cattle lagging behind the others.

The smallest of the three installations, this one is also in the most scenic setting. Set within the water feature and fountain in Central Park, this Created by Anita Pauwels in 2003 depicts cowboys at rest and steers in motion.

Architectural

Dallas has a couple of beautiful architectural collections too.

Art Deco Buildings at Fair Park in Dallas

172 Fountains at the I. M. Pei Fountain Place in Dallas

Online Collections

There are a number of online collections related to North Texas, and I picked a couple to share with you. One is simply a huge repository of interesting information and the other was a long-time public display in Dallas that’s now available to tour online.

Portal to Texas History

This is a collection of collections available courtesy of the University of North Texas. It contains reference material on thousands of subjects from agriculture to wrestling.

The Adrian E. Flatt, M.D. Hand Collection – Online Only

Photo courtesy of Ben Simo

Frequently mentioned in lists of quirky or obscure attractions in Dallas, this public exhibit may have been permanently closed. Formerly located at Truett Memorial Hospital, now part of Baylor University Medical I couldn’t confirm any of its details on an official website or Facebook page. However, the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) has created a virtual exhibit of over 100 bonze-cast hands. Dr. Flatt created these casts of famous people from all walks of life – musicians, athletes, politicians, artists and more.

And of course FunCityStuff.com!

Of course, we hope your favorite online collection is the FunCityStuff.com website. We love to collect and share stories and tips about fun places, fun food, and fun stuff in North Texas. Let us know how we’re doing in the comments or on our Facebook page.

THURSDAY, BOMBAY, INDIA - TAJ MAHAL HOTEL, WEATHER: HOT

Arrived at 8AM and go to Taj Mahal Hotel which is nice. Have a sea-view room and that water looks good to me. Went in to breakfast and lo and behold there was Bob Roberts & Henry Swartout (RCA from New Jersey, too). Went to BP where got a good shampoo (first since Calcutta) and a manicure which I needed. Lunch in room & finally to Cook’s. No news of Java trip. Luggage OK and we’re away. Walked down streets. Tried to get charms. David David said he saw us here. Made an ice cream soda, bought white bag at Whiteway and  Laidlaw’s - to Amer. Exp. for Stell’s mail and back to Taj. Bob and us have drinks in bar Harbert - listen to Teddie Weatherford (negro pianist and good). Claude Robertson collects us at 8 and we go to Bombay Gymkhara where John Young (Derek’s friend). Claude is room-mate. [???] We go home early as they’re going to boxing match. Bed.
