This Stomp Off release collects previously unreleased selections by Turk Murphy's Jazz Band from five different occasions: a 1980 concert and studio sets from 1984-86. On the former date (which resulted in four numbers including "Maple Leaf Rag" and "Flat Foot"), the band featured the leader/trombonist, cornetist Bob Shulz, veteran clarinetist Bob Helm and pianist Pete Clute. The studio sides also have Schulz in addition to clarinetist Lynn Zimmer and pianist Ray Skjelbred (the band's top soloist) and are highlighted by "New Orleans Stomp," "Some Sweet Day" and "Mandy." An excellent sampling of trad jazz from Turk Murphy's last groups. ~ Scott Yanow., All Music Guide
The tunes that fill this album are a cross section of rich material from which Turk Murphy gathered his elaborate repertoire of more than 500 numbers. It is interesting to note that two of these classics, Original Jelly Roll Blues and Maple Leaf Rag, were arranged by Turk back in 1941 for the Yerba Buena Jazz Band's initial record date. This was the historic session that first brought the robust Murphy trombone to our attention. Other tunes on this album spotlight the full vigour of Turk's ensemble punctuations. These exuberant live performances also provide an opportunity to hear clarinetist Bob Helm and another long-time associate of Murphy, the ragtime pianist, Pete Clute.
Turk Murphy
Active Decades: '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s
Born: Dec 16, 1915 in Palermo, CA
Died: May 30, 1987 in San Francisco, CA
Genre: Jazz
Turk Murphy led one of the most popular bands of the San Francisco Dixieland movement. After playing with various big bands (including Mal Hallett and Will Osborne), Murphy first gained fame for his work with Lu Watters' highly influential Yerba Buena Jazz Band (1940-1947). He formed his own group in 1947 and after 13 years, they found a permanent home at Earthquake McGoon's and also toured occasionally. Although not thought of as a virtuoso trombone soloist and his occasional singing was just passable, Murphy's ensemble work was superior and he put together a stimulating repertoire filled with obscurities and favorites from the 1920s (along with some newer originals). His bands were always very musical; among his sidemen through the years were trumpeters Don Kinch, Bob Short, and Leon Oakley; clarinetist Bob Helm; pianists Wally Rose, Pete Clute, and Ray Skjelbred; and singer Pat Yankee. Turk Murphy and his beloved group made many records for such labels as Good Time Jazz, Fairmont, Columbia (1953-1956), Verve, Dawn Club, Roulette, RCA, Motherlode, Atlantic, GHB, MPS, Stomp Off, and Merry Makers.
