The Georgie Auld Quintet • The Georgie Auld Quintet Plays The Winners

 



Biography
by Scott Yanow
Georgie Auld had a long and varied career, changing his tenor sound gradually with the times and adapting to many different musical situations. He moved from Canada to the U.S. in the late '20s and, although originally an altoist, he switched to tenor after hearing Coleman Hawkins. While with Bunny Berigan during 1937-1938, Auld sounded like a dead ringer for Charlie Barnet. After spending a year with Artie Shaw in 1939 (including leading the band briefly after Shaw ran away to Mexico), Auld sounded much closer to Lester Young when he joined Benny Goodman. With B.G., Auld was a major asset, jamming with a version of Goodman's Sextet that also included Cootie Williams and Charlie Christian. He was back with Shaw in 1942, and then led his own big band (1943-1946), an excellent transitional unit between swing and bop that at various times included such young modernists as Dizzy Gillespie, Erroll Garner, and Freddie Webster; Sarah Vaughan also guested on a couple of his recordings. After the band's breakup, Auld led some smaller groups that tended to be bop-oriented. He was with Count Basie's octet in 1950 and then freelanced for the remainder of his career, maintaining a lower profile but traveling frequently overseas and not losing his enthusiasm for jazz. Some may remember that, in 1977, he had a small acting role as a bandleader and played Robert De Niro's tenor solos in the otherwise forgettable Liza Minelli movie New York, New York.

Biografía
por Scott Yanow
Georgie Auld tuvo una carrera larga y variada, cambiando su sonido de tenor gradualmente con los tiempos y adaptándose a muchas situaciones musicales diferentes. Se trasladó de Canadá a EE.UU. a finales de los años 20 y, aunque originalmente era contralto, cambió a tenor después de escuchar a Coleman Hawkins. Durante su estancia con Bunny Berigan en 1937-1938, Auld sonaba como un imitador de Charlie Barnet. Después de pasar un año con Artie Shaw en 1939 (incluso liderando la banda brevemente después de que Shaw huyera a México), Auld sonaba mucho más cerca de Lester Young cuando se unió a Benny Goodman. Con B.G., Auld fue un activo importante, improvisando con una versión del Sexteto de Goodman que también incluía a Cootie Williams y Charlie Christian. Volvió con Shaw en 1942, y luego dirigió su propia big band (1943-1946), una excelente unidad de transición entre el swing y el bop que en varias ocasiones incluyó a jóvenes modernistas como Dizzy Gillespie, Erroll Garner y Freddie Webster; Sarah Vaughan también participó como invitada en un par de sus grabaciones. Tras la disolución de la banda, Auld dirigió algunos grupos más pequeños que solían estar orientados al bop. Estuvo con el octeto de Count Basie en 1950 y luego trabajó por libre durante el resto de su carrera, manteniendo un perfil más bajo pero viajando frecuentemente al extranjero y sin perder su entusiasmo por el jazz. Algunos recordarán que, en 1977, tuvo un pequeño papel como director de orquesta e interpretó los solos de tenor de Robert De Niro en la, por otra parte, olvidable película de Liza Minelli New York, New York.
