Graeme Bell Piano
Jim Godbolt Liner Notes
Roger Bell Cornet, Vocals
Born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1914, pianist Graeme Bell formed and led a fine little dixieland band in his native land, making solid little old-fashioned jazz records that compare favorably with those made by ensembles under the leadership of Lu Watters, Muggsy Spanier, Art Hodes, and Kid Ory. Bell should also be recognized as a co-founder of the Swaggie record label. Harlequin presents an invigorating parcel of hitherto unreleased recordings made during the spring and summer of 1948, a period when Bell and his Aussies had invaded and besieged the city of London. Some of these rare sides were left over from studio sessions that resulted in records issued by the Tempo and Esquire labels; the rest of the material was recorded live at the Streatham and Leicester Square jazz clubs. Some of the takes are "incomplete," meaning that the band is either rehearsing, horsing around, engaging in conversation, cutting up, leg pulling, or telling naughty jokes. The overall effect is remarkably entertaining. High points include the aborted take of "Willie the Weeper," "At a Georgia Camp Meeting," "South," "Strut, Miss Lizzie," "Shim-Me-Sha-Wabble," and "Where the Bloody Hell's Mary Gone." ~ arwulf arwulf, All Music Guide
Graeme Bell
Active Decades: '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s
Born: Sep 07, 1914 in Melbourne, Australia
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Dixieland, Early Jazz
A pioneering Australian jazzman, Graeme Bell recorded an extensive series of hot jazz performances (particularly during 1947-1952) that were quite influential in the Australian traditional jazz scene. Bell worked professionally from the late '30s but it was after he formed his Australian Jazz Band and toured in Europe for a full year (1947-1948) that his brand of freewheeling jazz (mixing together standards and obscurities) made its impact, recording in Czechoslovakia, Paris, and London before returning home. Back home, Bell in 1949 helped found the Swaggie label and revisited Europe several times in the 1950s and recorded extensively up until 1967. Among his more significant sidemen were cornetist Roger Bell (his talented brother); Lazy Ade Monsborough on clarinet, trumpet, and trombone; clarinetist Don Roberts; and in the early '60s, trumpeter Bob Barnard. Graeme Bell remained active on a part-time basis in the 1980s and '90s.
