New Release Great Sound Quality!!!Some of the most melodically lovely but relatively neglected tunes on the roster of popular music… played by a galaxy of the more mellow fellows in jazz.
- John S. Wilson, from the original liner notes
A fast, clean and very personal player and bandleader, “Peanuts” Hucko (1918-2003) worked with several of the great swing orchestras in the forties, and became the star clarinet soloist of Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band. In the fifties, he worked in the studios, toured the world with Louis Armstrong's All-Stars for a couple of years, and starting in the sixties, he led his own Dixie/Swing band. Member of The World's Greatest Jazz Band, Hucko's fluency and reliability may have got him further as a result.
This double CD contains all the swinging recordings made by the Peanuts Hucko Orchestra in the mid 50s, a period of great activity for big bands. The instrumentation is that of a jazz group, without violins: in some cases, they are not exactly big bands, but septets, octets, etc., although always seeking to sound like a big band; and so they do. The beat is that of a jazz group present, alive, finger-snapping. The approach is that of the jazz musician - creative, inventive, searching for the newly suitable instead of the safe and tried.
The participants in the making of this music are musicians such as Billy Butterfield, Don Ferrara, Bernie Glow, trumpets; Bob Brookmeyer, Urbie Green, Lou McGarity, Cutty Cutshall, trombones; Hal McKusick, Tony Scott, Hymie Schertzer, Ernie Caceres, Romeo Penque, Arthur Rollini, Al Cohn, saxes; Lou Stein, Dick Hyman, Hank Jones, piano; Barry Galbraith, Mundell Lowe, guitar; Milt Hinton, Arnold Fishkin, Jack Lesberg, bass; Osie Johnson, Cliff Leeman, Don Lamond, drums; Helen Ward, vocals... and a few others.
Peanuts Hucko
Active Decades: '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s
Born: Apr 07, 1918 in Syracuse, NY
Died: Jun 19, 2003 in Fort Worth, TX
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Dixieland, Swing
Peanuts Hucko long had a sound on clarinet that is nearly identical to that of Benny Goodman. A fine tenor player in his early days (although he largely gave up the instrument after the 1940s), Hucko's clarinet is an attractive addition to any Dixieland or swing combo. He started out as a tenor saxophonist playing in the big bands of Will Bradley (1939-1941), Charlie Spivak (1941-1942), and Bob Chester. Hucko was a member of Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band, where he was a star clarinet soloist. After being discharged from the military and playing with Benny Goodman (1945-1946) and Ray McKinley (1946-47), Hucko started an on-and-off association with Eddie Condon. He worked in the studios in the 1950s, visited Europe with Jack Teagarden and Earl Hines in 1957, toured the world with Louis Armstrong's All-Stars (1958-1960), and in the 1960s often led his own Dixieswing band. In the 1970s, for a period, he was the leader of the Glenn Miller ghost orchestra and is credited with returning the group to an authentic swing sound. In the '90s Hucko often headed groups featuring his wife, vocalist Louise Tobin. He continued to play until the very end of the '90s, but health problems eventually sidelined his playing career. On June 19, 2003 Peanuts Hucko passed away at the age of 85 in a Fort Worth, TX hospital.
