	Slim Gaillard - Music Downloads - Online
		Slim was born Bulee Gaillard, most likely on January 4, 1916 in Detroit, MI; some sources list his birth date as January 1, and Gaillard sometimes claimed to have been born in Santa Clara, Cuba, instead of Detroit.
		Gaillard was mostly raised in Detroit, though, where he tried his hand at professional boxing, worked as a mortician, and ran bootleg rum for the Purple Gang during the '30s.
		Gaillard and Stewart kept cutting songs in a similar vein, including "Tutti Frutti" and "Laughin' in Rhythm," and eventually took their act to Hollywood, where they appeared in the 1941 film Hellzapoppin.

	The Beat Page - Jack Kerouac
		Slim Gaillard is a tall, thin Negro with big sad eyes who's always saying 'Right-orooni' and 'How 'bout a little bourbon-arooni.' In Frisco great eager crowds of young semi-intellectuals sat at his feet and listened to him on the piano, guitar and bongo drums.
		Slim Gaillard goes and stands against a post, looking sadly over everybody's head as people come to talk to him.
		Slim said, 'There you go-orooni.' Now Dean approached him, he approached his God; he thought Slim was God; he shuffled and bowed in front of him and asked him to join us.

	Slim Gaillard and His Baker's Dozen - Verve Records
		Much of their repertoire was original material with lyrics conceived in Gaillard's personal version of the currently popular 'jive talk', which on his lips developed extraordinary surrealist overtones.
		Not surprisingly, given his manner of performance and his private language, some people never quite understood Gaillard and one radio station banned his record 'Yep Roc Heresy', declaring it to be degenerate; in fact, the lyric was merely a recitation of the menu from an Armenian restaurant.
		In the late 50s and for several years thereafter, Gaillard worked mostly outside music but gradually returned to prominence by way of acting roles, (including a part in the USA television series Roots), festival appearances with Stewart and, in the 80s, numerous television and stage shows in the UK where he became resident in 1983.

	E T H N O P O E T I C S :: Slim Gaillard
		In filling in the history of experimental soundings in the modernist "west," attention can now be given to a range of artists working within jazz and other alternative traditions.
		Beginning in 1937 guitarist Bulee "Slim" Gaillard and bassist Leroy "Slam" Stewart worked together for a number of years under the label of "Slim and Slam." Among works of theirs that disassembled and reassembled language were "Flat Foot Floogie (with a floy-floy)" and "Bassology," as presented here.
		Gaillard, creator of a variety of jive language that he named 'Vout" or "Vout Oreenee," continued in this vein over several decades, including an extended work, Opera in Vout, which premiered in Los Angeles in 1946.

		These 23 different selections recorded in Los Angeles for the Queen, 20th Century, Bee Bee, and Four Star labels feature Gaillard with partner/bassist/vocalist Bam Brown and a variety of different bands, from the Boogiereeners with Fletcher Smith or a quartet with Dodo Marmarosa on piano.
		Gaillard is heard to good effect whether goofing off, playing boogie harpsichord, singing standards, or jamming hard and swinging steadily.
		Because this is the latter period's music and is better recorded, it's perhaps Gaillard at his zenith and shows his most developed musical powers.

	CONELRAD: Atomic Platters \| Slim Gaillard Quartette \| Atomic Cocktail [1945]
		Slim Gaillard wrote and recorded numerous songs during the course of his storied jazz career, but for our money, his 1945 composition "Atomic Cocktail" is the greatest one of them all.
		The B-side of "Atomic Cocktail," "Yep-Rock-Heresay" (Atomic, Inc. A-215-B) was attacked by a Los Angeles DJ named Ted Steele (among others) as a degenerate example of Bop Jazz "full of bawdiness and references to narcotics." In reality the song is a near-verbatim recitation of a menu from a Middle Eastern restaurant.
		Gaillard relocated to the UK late in life and became a fixture on the chat shows until his death in 1991.

	SLIM GAILLARD RIDES AGAIN
		From AMG A cult hero, Slim Gaillard was a frequently hilarious personality whose comedy (inventing his own jive language with a liberal use of the words "vout" and "oreenee") generally overshadowed his music.
		In 1936, Gaillard began teaming with bassist Slam Stewart as Slim & Slam.
		In the 1960s, he was largely outside of music, running a motel in San Diego, but by the late '70s, Slim Gaillard was back on a part-time basis, still singing "Flat Foot Floogie" and making one wonder why this comic whiz was neglected for nearly three decades.

		When Dizzy and Charlie Parker first came out and played on the West Coast, the people were not ready for that bebop sound, but after they were there for a while it began to catch on.
		He said: “Oh, Slim, I don’t think I can make it”; I said: “You’re going to.” He said: “You think I can?” I said: “Let’s go.” When I brought him into Birdland, he was shaking; he was so scared to walk up on the stage.
		That’s on his liner notes, and in interviews he always says: “Slim Gaillard brought me out of Philadelphia, and got me started in the big league.” I feel good about various people that I helped to get started in jazz.
