	Ben Pollack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Ben Pollack (June 22, 1903 - June 7, 1971) was a drummer and bandleader from the mid 1920s through the swing era.
		Born in Chicago, Illinois to a well-to-do family, Pollack was largely self taught as a drummer, and was afforded the opportunity to become the drummer for the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, a top jazz outfit, in the early 20's.
		Pollack's band also was involved in extensive recording activity at that time,using a variety of pseudonyms in the studios.

	Ben Pollack pictures and biography
		Born Jun 22, 1903 in Chicago, IL Died Jun 7, 1971 in Palm Springs, CA Ben Pollack was the leading drummer in early Chicago style white jazz.
		By 1923 he was playing with The New Orleans Rhythm Kings, and in 1926 he formed the first of several jazz oriented dance bands that gave musicians like Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Jack Teagarden and Bud Freeman important exposure early in their careas.
		Pollack kept organising bands until well into the 1960s, but remained frustrated that he did not receive the rewards as "The Father Of Swing".

		The highlight of the morning, though, was the demonstration by Pollack and half a dozen of his peers, who, on command, folded their hands in their laps, shut their eyes, and did a few minutes' worth of meditation in their chairs.
		All of them appeared immediately to achieve a state of restful alertness—except for one small boy who kept rubbing behind his eyeglasses and snatching quick squints at three TV cameramen who were circling the meditators, shining bright lights in their faces and trying to eke some B-roll dynamism out of the scene.
		Ben Pollack, also of the Maharishi School, who wore a gold mezuzah around his neck and a beatific look on his face, likewise testified to meditation's ameliorative effects on the usual unpleasantnesses of teen-agerdom.

		Yet the band's reputation among musicians was higher than its recordings would seem to warrant; it never had a regular arranger to give it a distinct personality, and one suspects that either record companies or Pollack himself may have preferred to chase ideas that seemed to be more commerical.
		Pollock was no dictator, but the younger musicians made fun of his singing and Goodman was never a man to let anyone tell him what to do; Pollack lost most of his stars, but built up the band again until on records in late '33 it was essentially the Bob Crosby band to come.
		Played himself in The Benny Goodman Story '56; his band was a hit at a Disneyland dixieland festival '64, but depressed about heart trouble, he hanged himself.

	Dismuke's Hit Of The Week
		Ben Pollack is best remembered for his band in the late 1920s which was one of the better jazz oriented white dance bands of that decade.
		Over the years, Pollack grew increasingly bitter over his relative lack of success compared to that of many of the musicians he discovered and felt that they lacked sufficient gratitude for the contributions he made to their careers.
		The band featured in these recordings is one that Pollack formed after he moved to the West Coast in late 1936 and it did not achieve the level of success of his earlier band.

	Jazzed in Cleveland - Part 87 - Cleveland Drummer Morey Feld
		Pollack, who had been a member of the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, was a popular bandleader in the 1920s and early ‘30s.
		It was Pollack who popularized the device of a small group within a big band coming down front to play some hot jazz.
		It was ironic that Feld was playing with some of the same musicians, whose decision to quit the Ben Pollack Orchestra three decades earlier, had opened the door for his first professional job in music.

		Here's a photograph of Ben Pollack, who in the early 1920s, was playing with the famed New Orleans Rhythm Kings.
		Pollack, a drummer, had, at times, such men as Glenn Miller on trombone (and arrangements); Benny Goodman; Jack and Charlie Teagarden; Charlie Spivak; Jimmy McPartland; Bud Freeman; Fud Livingstone, plus the nucleus of the future Bob Crosby band - Eddie Miller, Matty Matlock, Yank Lawson, Gil Rodin; Ray Bauduc, Nappy Lamare, and Dean Kincaide.
		Pollack basically lost all his sidemen in 1934, because he grew tired of the band and wanted to devote his time to further the career of his beautiful wife, Doris Robbins.

		The reason why the mild mannered Pollack’s home has such an elaborate security system is that he’s an accountant for shady underworld businessmen.
		You may remember him as the thug who Willis killed just by breaking his nose in “The Last Boy Scout.” As the leader of the masked gunmen, he does have an ominous presence, but unfortunately, his appearance is brief and nothing more than a voice dubbed over another masked actor or over a phone.
		The second is Jimmy Bennett as Pollack’s young son, who manages to set himself free, contact Willis via cell phone and crawl around in air ducts under the kidnapper’s noses.

		Certainly one band was the Chico Marx Orchestra, in reality led by Ben Pollack, who organized the band for piano player Chico when all the Marx Brothers put their moviemaking on hiatus during the war years.

		I was there about two months in 1942, in the summer, and finally joined the first professional job I ever was with—that was a band that was funded by, and its musical director was Ben Pollack, who had the Chico Marx band, with Mel Tormé and Marty Napoleon in it.

		This CD has 13 selections recorded by Pollack's Park Central Orchestra and by the same basic group under the names of Gil Rodin and Jack Teagarden, plus ten alternate takes.
		Because Pollack sought to balance the commercial with the artistic, there are vocalists on every song, including Smith Ballew, Scrappy Lambert, Eddie Gale, and (on three unfortunate examples) Pollack himself.
		There are enough worthwhile moments (particularly from Teagarden) to make this a worthwhile acquisition for fans of classic jazz, but the Ben Pollack Orchestra rarely lived up to its great potential.

		Although it had shifted from being a jazz group to being a dance band with the rise of the Depression, Ben Pollack & His Orchestra was still an impressive group in early 1931.
		Trombonist Jack Teagarden was its star soloist and the band contained the nucleus of what would become the Bob Crosby Orchestra a few years later, including tenor saxophonist Eddie Miller, altoist Gil Rodin, guitarist Nappy Lamare, and drummer Ray Bauduc.
		The best selections are "Loveless Love," "Sweet and Hot," and "Beale Street Blues." This entry in Jazz Oracle's very complete Ben Pollack series has music released originally as by Pollack, Gil Rodin, Jack Teagarden, and the New Orleans Ramblers, all using virtually the same personnel.

		Not long afterwards, Ben Pollack sent for Benny, then age 16, to join Ben Pollack and His Californians, at the Venice ballroom in Los Angeles, CA (1925).
		In addition to playing with Ben Pollack, and some of the finest early Jazz musicians, he is also credited with writing the song "Darktown Shuffle" (composed by Joe Thomas and Earl Baker.) He may also have been a member of 'The Cavaliers Orchestra', formed in Georgia by Jimmy Fuller in 1946.
