YOUR HIT PARADE, 1941

#24 – Freddy Martin: “Piano Concerto in B-flat”

Frederick Alfred Martin (1906-83) was an orphan reared in Cleveland. He started out playing drums, then switched to saxophone, the instrument with which he would be identified for the rest of his life. He intended to become a reporter, as journalists were called then. He hoped he would earn enough money from his music to enter Ohio State but instead wound up becoming a professional musician. Freddy led his own band while in high school, then played in various local bands. After working on a ship's band, Freddy joined the Mason-Dixon band, then joined Arnold Johnson and Jack Albin.

After a couple of years, his skill began attracting other musicians. One was Guy Lombardo, who would remain friends with Freddy throughout his life. One night, when Guy could not do a certain gig, he suggested Freddy's band fill in for him. The gig went very well, and that's how the ball got rolling. But the band broke up, and Freddy did not form a permanent band until 1931 at the Bossert Hotel in Brooklyn.

There, Freddy pioneered the "tenor band" style that swept dance music. With his tenor sax as melodic lead, Freddy fronted an all-tenor sax section with just two brasses and a violin trio plus rhythm. The quickly spawned imitators in hotels and ballrooms nationwide. Freddy took his band into the Roosevelt Grill in New York City and the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.

Peter Tchaikovsky wrote a piano concerto in B-flat minor with a long introduction in D-flat Major that everyone who listened to Arturo Toscanini or Walter Damrosch on the radio knew by heart. Freddy worked the introduction up into a hit single that put him on the map.

YOUR HIT PARADE, 1941

#23 – Xavier Cugat: “Perfidia”

Francisco de Asís Javier Cugat Mingall de Bru y Deulofeu (1900-90) was a Spanish-American bandleader who came out of Havana. A trained violinist and arranger, he was responsible for adding a Latin tint to American popular music. He was also a gifted cartoonist. In New York, he was the leader of the resident orchestra at the Waldorf-Astoria both before and after the war.

His family emigrated to Cuba from Spain when Xavier was five. He was trained as a classical violinist and played with the Orchestra of the National Theater in Havana. Xavier and his family arrived in New York in 1915, and he appeared in recitals with Enrico Caruso, playing violin solos. He was quite the prodigy.

Entering the world of show business in Los Angeles, he played with a band called the Gigolos during the tango craze. He went to work for the Los Angeles Times as a cartoonist, and his caricatures were nationally syndicated.

In the late Twenties, as sound began to be used in films, Xavier put together another tango band that had some success in early short musical films known as “soundies”, which were the forerunner of MTV. By the early Thirties, he began appearing with his group in feature films.

This song is from Mexico.
