Classic Jazz Excerpt on Eubie Blake Eubie regretted that ragtime's early association with saloons and houses of prostitution earned it a reputation as "trashy" music. "Memories of You," Eubie Blake's most successful ballad, written in collaboration with lyricist Andy Razaf, was in the Broadway show "Lew Leslie's Black Birds of 1930." Eubie was always generous in his praise for the Casa Loma Orchestra's trumpet star, Sonny Dunham, who championed "Memories of You" as a jazz tune in the late '30s. Although he resisted air travel until he was ninety, Eubie was a busy bicoastal entertainer. www.ucpress.edu /books/pages/8735/8735.excerpt.html   (2333 words)

Eubie!: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com When ragtime pianist Eubie Blake was in his nineties, a musical revue of many of his Broadway hits written for various shows during the 1920s and 1930s with Noble Sissle or Andy Razaf was put together. The major saving grace of this album is the presence of Gregory Hines, who sings "Low Down Blues" for all its worth (he was accompanied by the composer himself on a Saturday Night Live broadcast of the song around the time this disc was released) without losing the essence of the song. But jazz fans will be better served by searching for the two-record set The 86 Years of Eubie Blake, which features superior renditions of most of these songs by the pianist and Noble Sissle, who were still going strong when they revisited their music when both where well along in years. www.music.com /release/eubie!/1   (409 words)

Songs keep a wobbly 'Eubie!' in tune Blake's vast and varied output is certainly worth celebrating, as several of the two dozen songs in "Eubie!" amply illustrate. That's doubly odd, because neither song was included in "Eubie!" -- the 1978 all-Blake Broadway hit ostensibly being revived at the Hansberry. There are pleasures to be had in this "Eubie!" -- and there probably will be more as the cast settles into the show -- but they're sporadic and stand alone. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/04/21/DDG5B67OSR1.DTL&type=printable   (502 words)
