Title:
Maxine Sullivan sings "St. Louis Blues" at 78rpm on a "Paillard" post WWII
Description:
Maxine Sullivan sings St. Louis Blues on a RCA record pressed in Brazil. It's record # 27128-B indicates a "B" side( you guys know I love "B" sides:-) and label reads St. Louis Blues (vocaldance)(?) by (W.C.Handy) and because of a tiny label glued on top of the original, we know it was bought circa 1954, at "Casa Coates" a first "Record and Electrolas" shop in Porto Alegre, capital of the southern estate of Brazil. Recorded on June 29, 1938, and initially released as {American} Victor 25895-B in 1939. (info thanks to 'fromthesidelines', YouTube user) Thanks to Wikipedia, here's some info on Maxine Sullivan Sullivan was born Marietta Williams in Homestead, Pennsylvania. After moving to New York, Sullivan sang during intermissions at the Onyx Club and was discovered by the pianist, Claude Thornhill. Thornhill recorded her with a sympathetic septet singing a couple of standards and two Scottish folk songs performed in swinging fashion — "Annie Laurie" and "Loch Lomond" The latter became a hit record and Sullivan's signature song for the rest of her career.[1] Future sessions found her singing vintage folk tunes such as "I Dream of Jeanie," "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" and "If I Had a Ribbon Bow." From 1940 to 1942, Sullivan often sang with her husband, bassist John Kirby's sextet. She starred for two years on a radio series, Flow Gently Sweet Rhythm; she had a reasonably successful solo career, recording with, amongst others, the Vic Ash Quartet in London, and then in the mid 1950s (similar to Alberta Hunter) became a trained nurse. In 1968, she began making a comeback, performing at music festivals and even playing trombone and flugelhorn. Now married to pianist Cliff Jackson, Sullivan sometimes appeared with the World's Greatest Jazz Band, and recorded frequently. During her later period, she often sang with mainstream jazz groups, including Scott Hamilton's. Quite fittingly, the last song that she ever recorded in concert was the same as her first record, "Loch Lomond." Sullivan died in 1987 in New York.[1][2] She was an inductee in the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame in 1998.
