Tony Crombie And His Rockets • Re-Launch

 

Biography
by Eugene Chadbourne
Tony Crombie was a highly respected British drummer, composer, and bandleader without whom the British bebop scene might have swung as little as an iron pillar. Then again, there are many listeners who would be more interested in the soundtracks Crombie created for serious art films such as Teenager Killer and The Nudist Story. Blame Crombie's mama for this interest in combining music and the cinema, perhaps -- after all, she was a silent film pianist. Crombie taught himself both drums and piano and began his career as an accompanist for singers; in the early '50s he was backing some of the most challenging jazz vocalists to tour the United Kingdom, including Lena Horne, Carmen McRae, and Annie Ross.

Crombie started his own band, Tony Crombie & the Rockets (which worked from 1954 through 1956), as well a big band of his own at the close of the decade. He was very skilled at combining his love of jazz with pop innovations of the '50s and '60s, creating a charismatic and at times action-packed scenario that to no surprise developed into a blip on the lounge and exotica fans' radar. Crombie scored nearly 40 episodes alone of the Man from Interpol television series. He had his own publishing company, Gloucester Music, and released albums with his own band on labels such as Ember, Top Rank, and Decca.

Biografía
por Eugene Chadbourne
Tony Crombie fue un baterista, compositor y director de banda británico muy respetado, sin el cual la escena bebop británica podría haber oscilado tan poco como un pilar de hierro. Por otra parte, hay muchos oyentes que estarían más interesados en las bandas sonoras que Crombie creó para películas artísticas serias como Teenager Killer y The Nudist Story. Quizás haya que culpar a la madre de Crombie de este interés por combinar la música y el cine; después de todo, fue pianista de cine mudo. Crombie aprendió por sí mismo a tocar la batería y el piano y comenzó su carrera como acompañante de cantantes; a principios de los años 50 acompañaba a algunas de las vocalistas de jazz más exigentes que giraban por el Reino Unido, como Lena Horne, Carmen McRae y Annie Ross.

Crombie creó su propia banda, Tony Crombie & the Rockets (que trabajó desde 1954 hasta 1956), así como una big band propia a finales de la década. Fue muy hábil al combinar su amor por el jazz con las innovaciones del pop de los años 50 y 60, creando un escenario carismático y a veces lleno de acción que, para no sorprender, se convirtió en un punto de referencia para los aficionados al lounge y la exótica. Crombie marcó casi 40 episodios solo de la serie de televisión Man from Interpol. Tuvo su propia editorial, Gloucester Music, y publicó discos con su propia banda en sellos como Ember, Top Rank y Decca.
