Song: Modern Jazz (Blues) (aka Jazz Blues)
Composer: Gerhard Trede Record Label: The CBS Records EZ Cue Library CBS EZQ 172 Released: ca. 1968
Location: Gomorrah casino, Mysterious broadcast
This is one of the longer pieces in Fallout with the instrumental coming in at 5 minutes. Like its cooler cousin, this library music song known as “Jazz Blues” can be heard playing in the lobby of the Gomorrah casino or later on the Mysterious broadcast.
While the record is almost entirely covered with fairly lengthy Gerhard Trede compositions, one side dwarfs them all with a massive groove for a 14 minute track by Messrs. Kuhn and Kuhn and their “Transfiguration (Free Jazz)”.
Unfortunately, unlike Fallout 3′s end credits, Fallout: New Vegas’ end credits features the licensed music from the standard record labels, but omits all of the radio tunes from APM including the instrumentals save for a brief mention of “Additional Music Courtesy of APM Music”.
As is the case with library music, finding artist and recording information is extremely difficult as these songs were never meant to be sold to the public, instead being exclusively used for the film and TV industry. What follows is an attempt to extricate this information.
Note: Library music is typically identified by composer or emotion. Very little can be confirmed about the musicians who performed on the recording.
Here’s the full track list.
Side 1
Jazz
1. Transfiguration (Free Jazz) (Rolf Kuhn/Joachim Kuhn)
2. Back ‘N’ Forth (Gerhard Trede)
Side 2
Jazz
1. Modern Jazz (Blues) (Gerhard Trede)
2. Modern Jazz (City-Sound) (Gerhard Trede)
3. Modern Jazz (Moderato No. 1) (Gerhard Trede)
4. Modern Jazz (Fast) (Gerhard Trede)
5. Modern Jazz (Moderato No. 2) (Gerhard Trede)
About the composer
A publicity blurb from the May 2018 newsletter from Sonoton, the current license holder for the work of Gerhard Trede.
A color portrait of Trede from Hamburger Flimmern, 2006 Issue 13
Gerhard Trede is the most prominent musician on the Fallout series radio soundtrack with nine tracks total (2 from Fallout 3 and 7 from Fallout: New Vegas), eclipsing even the Ink Spots’ six songs.
A mainstay of the APM lineup, his work appears in everything from Spongebob Squarepants and Ren & Stimpy to period works and TV shows like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to Conan to numerous documentaries.
Despite this, very few biographies exist of him in English detailing his prolific composing career aside from official publicity blurbs mentioning his early life in Hamburg, Germany and his extraordinary musical output of over 100 compositions a year to playing over 50 instruments. Several articles in German report on his music scoring work in the newsreel series for Neuen Deutschen Wochenschau.
An essay details how the old Deutschen Wochenschau archive was bombed in Berlin throughout 1943 and 1944 to a point where the film reels and their music preserved on optical soundtracks were badly degraded from moisture, cold, and improper storage. The Neue Deutsche Wochenschau (NDW) would incorporate some rescued music cues. Gerhard Trede was hired in 1953 to fill in the substantial gaps in the music inventory. By 1955, he was composing for the newsreel every week, recording in an inn in Wellingsbüttel to be delivered to NDW. However, his compositions were owned by NDW and income derived solely through GEMA, Germany’s music rights organization.
Moviegoers quickly found the “Tredes Melodien“ from the newsreels so “eingängig” (catchy), that they demanded “Schallplatten“ or records to be made available, only to be continually rebuffed:
Brief von NDW Redaktion (A. Strehlke) an Werner Belgerin, Braunschweig vom 16.12.1961, Korrespondenz ab 1958, Archiv DW. Antwort auf eine Frage zu einer Schallplattenaufnahme der Musik, die in einem Bericht über die Europameisterschaften im Eiskunstlauf (NDW Nr. 575) zu hören war. Eine Schallplattenaufnahme zu erhalten war nicht möglich, da die Musik Eigentum der NDW war. Heute wird die Musik von G. Trede von der Fa. Sonoton als ‚typische‘ Musik der 1950er Jahre vertrieben – zu den Kunden zählen z.B. Fernsehsender und Filmproduzenten.
Letter from NDW Redaktion (A. Strehlke) to Werner Belgerin, Braunschweig, December 16, 1961, correspondence from 1958, DW Archive. Answer to a question about a recording of the music that was heard in a newsreel report on the European Figure Skating Championships (NDW Film No. 575). Obtaining a record was not possible because the music was owned by the NDW. Today, Gerhard Trede's music is sold by Sonoton as 'typical' music from the 1950s. Clients include television broadcasters and film producers.
By the 1970s, newsreels were dropping off in favor of television as Trede quickly shifted gears for the new format. He reacquired the rights to his massive collection of music and continually added new tracks to suit the electronic and experimental fashions of the time.The rights to his work vary from Selected Sound to EMI and finally to Sonoton.
Regrettable, few contemporary photographs of Trede have surfaced. There is purportedly a very young picture of him as a soldier in WWII. Aside from scoring for newreels and television programs from 1952 to 1982, Trede would compose “Nie wieder Krieg” or “War No More” in 1993 to reconcile his experiences as a WWII soldier. Trede would die 3 years later also in Hamburg.
About the recording
For those with an interest with reel-to-reel magnetic tape, CBS evidently issued their EZ Cue library on reels as well, The LP EZQ 172 is equivalent to Reel EXT 572. See the reels spinning here.
As a German composer, Gerhard Trede maintained his own private library music label in Germany and any recording information appears to be landlocked there. Rights appear to still remain in Germany under Selected Sound and Sonoton, as well as under his pseudonym, Victor Cavani. However, he did license music for use in the UK and US market under Mozart Edition and CBS Records EZ Cue Library in the 1960s.
As for partially dating when this track was recorded or released, it’s proving nearly as byzantine as for “Joe Cool”.
Naturally as a division of Columbia Records, Columbia Special Products, and the famed “Tiffany Network”, the Columbia Broadcasting System, CBS needed a service to provide musical scoring for its television shows. Evidence of this comes from when CBS donated its archive to UCLA which has been meticulously poured over by researchers unraveling the cue sheets.The CBS EZ Cue Library was intended as a replacement of an older Reel system used by CBS which numbered as high as #75 with subsections A/B/C/D.
An early CBS EZ Cue catalog lists LPs EZQ 101-175 and Tape EZT 501-575. Several cues are named for CBS shows like The Twilight Zone and Perry Mason, the latter aired its final episode on CBS in 1966.
Advertisements for the CBS Records EZ Cue Library appear as early as 1970 in the Darnell Corporation’s Sales Management. Above is a print ad for CBS EZ Cue in the Radio Section of the 1971 Broadcasting Yearbook, published January 15, 1971. The 1971 advertisement uses the serif version of the CBS logo while the 1972 edition of the yearbook features CBS advertisements using a new sans-serif logo.
So far, this gives us a date that the CBS EZ Cue Library was offered for sale and distribution around 1967-1971.
Like “Joe Cool” and “Stars and Teardrops”, the secret lies in the matrix numbers, in this case XTV 134329 and XTV 134330 for the sides that have the track known as “Modern Jazz (Blues)”.
The Library of Congress holds the Columbia Records Paperwork Collection for the years 1923-1964. It details that XTV stands for a 12 inch mono LP while XSV stands for a 12 inch stereo LP. While the archive shows XTV numbers from 11000-94000 sequentially spanning the years from 1949-1964, the XTV numbers are still 5 digits and have not reached the 6 digit XTV number present on the CBS EZ Cue LP as the archive does not go beyond 1964.
Fortunately, Columbia Special Products pressed other records with similar 6 digit XTV numbers with known pressing dates.
Like RCA Custom, Columbia Custom XTV and XSV codes can be tied to a pressing date though Columbia’s is less precise. Judging by the 6 digit XTV and XSV matrix codes above for work by Columbia Custom for labels like Vanguard, Silver Burdett, Reader’s Digest, and even Columbia’s own CBS Special Products the XTV/XSV numbers can be roughly dated as:
XTV 120000 - 1967
XTV 130000 - 1968
XTV 140000 - 1969
Note that XSV stereo matrix numbers may be pressed at slightly different times than XTV mono releases. The 1968 TV movie for Kiss Me Kate was produced by Armstrong Circle Theatre which ran all the Big Three networks, NBC (1950-1957), CBS (1957-1963), and ABC (1966-1968). CBS evidently kept a close association with Armstrong TV productions by 1968. CBS also produced The Incredible Year 1968 with a higher XSV number of 144898; due to its content as an anthology of CBS News broadcasts from the year, it must have been produced towards the end of 1968 or early 1969.
Therefore, if the record with “Modern Jazz (Blues)” has Columbia matrix numbers of XTV 134329 and XTV 134330, it’s consistent with XTV 130000 releases in 1968. It is likely the first run of LPs for EZQ 101-175 with mono XTV numbers were all pressed around 1968 and later stereo XSV 1400000 content released as needed. As shown above, it appears the serif CBS logo was used to advertise this set until 1971 before the transition to sans-serif.
As for why “Modern Jazz (Blues)” became “Jazz Blues”, it’s likely because the original record had too many “Modern Jazz” descriptors. The record was partially reissued in 1990 on the Gerhard Trede Collection CD under Selected Sound and EMI for Jazz Time 1.
Namely, the CD retitled several of the CBS tracks as:
CD CBS
1. Jazz Blues <=> Modern Jazz (Blues)
2. City Sound <=> Modern Jazz (City-Sound)
4. Jazz im Bach Stil <=> Bach ‘N’ Forth
Note the retention of the Johann Sebastian Bach pun.
The liner notes booklet is regrettably short on details, as expected for a library music CD. Trede would have been in his 70s when this CD was made of his CBS work from the 1960s. Though the CD notes it was made in West Germany when the country reunified the same year in 1990.
“Jazz Blues” is officially described as:
Sax gest. Trompete. Piano, sentimental schön.
Sax, muted trumpet, piano, sentimental nice.
The rest of the liner notes indicate the Gerhard Trede library was still transitioning from Selected Sound to EMI in 1990.
Another note is as follows:
Alle Musiken wurden von Gerhard Trede komponiert, instrumentiert und produziert.
Die Kompositionen, die mit einem (+) gezeichnet sind, wurden vom Komponisten auf allen Instrumenten selbst gespielt im eigenen Studio.
All music was composed, orchestrated and produced by Gerhard Trede.
The compositions marked with a (+) were played by the composer himself on all instruments in his own studio.
Though Trede was a talented multi-instrumentalist, “Jazz Blues” doesn’t have a plus so it doesn’t appear he solely performed on the track.
