Nothing establises him as │ │ │ │ the distinguished continental type more than a credit such as │ │ │ │ this: Gerard Badini, self-taught clarinetist and tenor │ │ │ │ saxophonist, made his professional debut at the Monte Carlo │ │ │ │ Sporting Club in 1952. He had begun his musical training as a │ │ │ │ classical singer, and picked up the clarinet in 1950. While │ │ │ │ roulette wheels spun and clicked and the elite of Europe lost │ │ │ │ fortunes, Badini honed his musical craft in various traditional │ │ │ │ jazz bands. A tour of the European continent alongside Sidney │ │ │ │ Bechet was a chance to be heard by a more expansive jazz │ │ │ │ audience at venues such as the Salle Pleyal in his native Paris │ │ │ │ and Festival Hall across the pond in London. It can be assumed │ │ │ │ that it was also an opportunity to be overshadowed. │ │ │ │ By the end of the '50s Badini had switched to tenor saxophone, │ │ │ │ cultivating relationships with players such as pianist Claude │ │ │ │ Bolling, drummer Gerard Pochonet, and alto saxophonist Michel │ │ │ │ Attenoux. Badini 's bingo is straight-ahead swing; he is a │ │ │ │ Benny Goodman man, although he solos capably and with a │ │ │ │ consistent sense of adventure within well-tested stylistic │ │ │ │ boundaries on tenor saxophone as well as clarinet. Through the │ │ │ │ '60s and '70s he worked both as leader of his own small combos │ │ │ │ such as Swing Machine and behind visiting American stars │ │ │ │ including vocalist Helen Humes and a rotating series of │ │ │ │ ex-sidemen from Duke Ellington's band. On that subject, a side │ │ │ │ cut with trombonist Sam Woodyard is some of the baddest Badini. │ │ │ │ Badini tried living in New York for several years in the late │ │ │ │ '70s, but returned to France by 1982, obsessing about getting a │ │ │ │ decent croissant in the morning. The Super Swing Machine was │ │ │ │ his contribution to the culture of 1984. In the '90s he arrived │ │ │ │ at the slightly less arrogrant band name of Gerard Badini Big │ │ │ │ Band. This group, in co-leadership with Michel Leeb, recorded │ │ │ │ the fine 1996 tribute entitled Djangos d'Or featuring guest │ │ │ │ artists Johnny Griffin on tenor saxophone and vocalist Dee Dee │ │ │ │ Bridgewater. │ │ │ │ - Eugene Chadbourne (AMG) │ │ │ │ : : │ │ │ │ | | │ │ └─│─│─∙ ∙ · · ∙ ∙─│─│─┘ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ └──────── ────────┘ ┌────────────────────────[ GROUP NEWS ]────────────────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ┌─│─│─∙ ∙ · · ∙ ∙─│─│─┐ │ │ | | │ │ │ │ : : │ │ │ │ OSC is still holding it down after more than a year in tha scene. │ │ │ │ Our dedication to bringing you the best in ol skool classics is, │ │ │ │ and always will be, our driving force.
