Slim and Slam



Uploaded by: petefc
Video Description:
This clip is originally from Hellzapoppin'
I got it from a DVD by the www.wfmu.org DJ Dave the Spaz. A rather idiosyncratic production called 'The Best of Spazz TV'
It starts as a bit of a jam with a collection of well known musicians then segues into a truly stunning dance number.
Slim Gaillard - piano, guitar
Slam Staewart - bass
Rex Stewart - trumpet
Elmer Fane - clarinet
Jap Jones - trombone
CP Jonstone - drums

Cee Pee Johnson and ... ( 7 months ago by Patequi)
Cee Pee Johnson and his group are the ones playing in the outdoor garden scene in Orson Well's classic movie Citizen Kane. When Bulee "Slim" Gaillard was part of Slim and Slam in the 1930s they often used conga drums many years before the creation of Afro Cuban jazz by Mario Bauza and the Machito Afro Cuban Orchestra or the Dizzy band with Chano Pozo.
Slim could play ... ( 7 months ago by Patequi)
Slim could play several instruments including the piano with his palms facing up, there's a great appearance by Slim in the 1970s on the Flip Wilson Show where this is clearly seen.
Gaillard's birth certificate has never been found, he claimed to have been born in Santa Clara-Cuba & taken to sea as a child by his merchant marine dad and then raised in Detroit since his early teens, hence his constant use of Latin rhythm and congas.

A fantastic jam session at the height of the jive'n'swing era. Does anybody know who was the drummer - Cozy Cole? He's certainly enjoying himself with those wild beaters.

I met this guy over 20 years ago when I was about 17. He came to the theatre attached to my sixth form college invited by the music teacher who was a jazz trumpeter. He humoured me while I was askig him daft teenage questions and was an all roung lovely guy. He played 'Chicken Rhythm' and played piano with the backs of his hands. What a privilege.

Gaillard's draft ... ( 5 months ago by JosephNScott)
Gaillard's draft induction record (12/11/42) says he was born in Florida. I'm not saying he was necessarily born in Florida, but maybe. It also says he had completed three years of high school, he was married, and he was 6'2".
It's been claimed ... ( 5 months ago by JosephNScott)
It's been claimed SG was b. in Pensacola and his dad was from Germany: Theopolous Rothschild (unmarried to his mom Liza Gaillard). There was in fact a Theopilus Rothschild who lived in Pensacola and was born in AL to parents born in Germany and Bavaria ('30 census) -- living next door to a "N[egro]" family, last name "Gillard". So, probably, SG knows he was born in FL, he knows some facts about dad that are almost right, he sometimes is candid about what he'd been told by family but often not.
The song "Tutti ... ( 5 months ago by JosephNScott)
The song "Tutti Frutti" written by Doris Fisher and Slim Gaillard in 1938 may have influenced the song "Tutti Frutti" that Little Richard recorded, but the songs don't have much in common. When Gene Krupa recorded the Fisher-Gaillard "Tutti Frutti" in 1938, he assigned the lead vocal to one of his singers, Leo Watson -- who later recorded a lot with Slim.
A draft induction ... ( 5 months ago by Patequi)
A draft induction is not a record of birth. In his last recording made in London, UK. Slim sings about wanting to go back to Cuba. There are Gailards still living in Santa Clara, Cuba which bear a strong resemblance to Bulee-Slim-Gailard, one of the most mysterious gentlemen of jazz.
"A draft induction ... ( 5 months ago by JosephNScott)
"A draft induction is not a record of birth." No, it's a record of one of the times that Slim apparently claimed to have been born in Florida. Which he may well have been, given the Rothschild/Gillard next-door evidence that I found in the census myself only after reading the anecdote concerning T. Rothschild and L. Gaillard.
