	Jack McVea Page in Fuller Up, The Dead Musician Directory
		Jack McVea, a tenor saxophonist and bandleader who was a writer of the 1947 novelty hit "Open the Door, Richard," died on Dec. 27 in Los Angeles.
		McVea is survived by two daughters, Lyta McVea-Abdullah of Los Angeles and Jacqueline Grant of Rolling Hills, Calif.; a son, Robert L. McVea of Hawthorne, Calif.; 10 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.
		Jack McVea will always be most famous for his big hit "Open the Door, Richard." Although associated with the RandB world due to that 1946 bestseller, McVea was actually a swing stylist whose fairly mellow sound was a major contrast to the honking tenors of the time.

		He was born John Vivian McVea, and learned banjo from his father, Isaac (Satchel) McVea, a musician who had been the first fl host of a radio show in Los Angeles in the 1920s.
		McVea’s hit with ‘Open The Door, Richard’ in 1947, written in collaboration with its original creators, Dusty Fletcher and John Mason, and Dan Howell, sparked numerous cover versions, and ensured that he would remain in demand.

		Two of the earliest were Jacquet himself and the less-known Jack McVea, who are showcased on these Delmark reissues from the Apollo catalogue.
		During that time and for years afterwards McVea and his band did studio sessions with most of the top West Coast blues vocalists, some of whom are featured on this disc.
		McVea, who got his McVoutie moniker from Slim Galliard on a session they both did with Charlie Parker -- yes he was that good -- ended his career playing clarinet in a Dixieland combo at Disneyland.

		McVea was quite popular during the late Forties, but had a lower profile in the 1950s.

	[No title]
		A lesser-known fulcrum of the scene Jack McVea, christened McVoutie by the redoubtable wordsmith Slim Galliard, was in fact one of the most in-demand session men of the day.
		McVea’s sessions as a sideman with Texas-born vocalist/drummer Rabon Tarrant are the focus of the collection, but the savvy folks at Delmark wisely intersperse other artists amongst the thirteen Tarrant-led tracks.
		McVea’s sultry lines compliment Tarrant to a “T,” embellishing and accentuating where they could just as easily trample and interfere.

		Jack McVea, the saxophone player who’s the centerpiece of McVoutie’s Central Avenue Blues, roamed the then-unmapped territory between jazz and RandB.
		It seems a waste that McVea, who died in 2000, spent the last 20 years or so of his career playing clarinet in a Dixieland band at Disneyland.
		Powerful enough to overcome the horn section and stylish in material that was funny or sorrowful or smart, he appears on both the McVea and the Jacquet discs.

		Jack McVea sports a jacket, tie, and spectacles on the cover of McVoutie's Central Avenue Blues, looking more like a professor than a saxophonist.
		The other central figure of this disc is drummer/vocalist Rabon Tarrant, who joins McVea on 13 of the 23 tracks.
		There are also three instrumentals -- one kicking off the album, the other two ending it -- that allow McVea a little more room to strut his stuff.

		Jack McVeaÕs nickname was bestowed by Slim Gaillard at his recording session with Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker.
		On ÒSlimÕs JamÓ, when Bird doesnÕt have a reed Gaillard says, ÒMcVoutieÕs got a reed!Ó (McVea says Bird actually did show sans reed.) McVeaÕs biggest success, ÒOpen The Door RichardÓ, turned the classic comedy routine into an R&B standard.
		This album presents McVeaÕs blues side with singers Tarrant, Harris & Henderson but there are instrumental sides and smoking solos making this CD enjoyable for jazz fans also.

		The new record was a colossal success and established Hampton's dominance in the big band field.
		Throughout the 1940s he went from success to success commercially, while hundreds of since-celebrated musicians passed through the ranks of the band, among them such men as Illinois Jacquet, Jack McVea, Dexter Cordon, Arnett Cobb on tenor saxes.
		The Hampton band, operating on the premise that excitement was the main objective of jazz, gradually reduced the accent on musicianship, and by the early 1950s had become as much a rhythm-and-blues as a jazz attraction, with circus overtones; nevertheless, the band remained the medium for the introduction of many great jazz talents.

		And Jacquet had his tender side, as demonstrated on such gorgeous ballads as "Ghost of a Chance" and "She's Funny That Way."
		While Jacquet continues blowing strong at age 79, fellow tenor player Jack McVea had become largely forgotten well before he passed away a year and a half ago.
		Where McVea does blow, however, he comes across as a first-rate tenor stylist, combining a muscular, Coleman Hawkins-like tone with fluid lines that betray a fondness for Lester Young, even when weaving obbligatos behind singers Rabon Tarrant, Duke Henderson, and Wynonie Harris.
