BIRTHDAYS 1851 Emile Berliner gramophone inventor b. Hanover, Germany d. August 3, 1929, Washington, DC, USA. Biography&amp;nbsp; ~by Eugene Chadbourne While Emile Berliner never actually appeared on any records, no records could have appeared without him. The compact disc generation can also mull over the man's importance, as Berliner was the first man to introduce the concept of a "disc" as a medium to be played on his newly invented gramophone. His competition at the time, the much better known Thomas Edison still thought a cylinder was the way to go, but he was ever so wrong. The disc concept was conceptually the key to the entire concept of mass production of recordings. Berliner also invented the microphone that became part of the first Bell telephones, known as the carbon microphone transmitter. At 25, the German-born inventor had already patented and sold this microphone for $50,000 to what was then the just up and starting Bell Telephone Company, getting the ball rolling for it to become one of the largest corporations in the world. His thanks from the American business community for his inventions was, as might be expected, something in the nature of an all-out assault in which he was forced to move his ventures across the border to Canada. Emile Berliner and the Birth of the Recording Industry Emile Berliner - Biography Emile Berliner - The History of the Gramophone Emile Berliner - Wikipedia 1901 Jimmy Blythe, Piano b. Louisille, KY, USA. d. 1931 Biography ~by Scott Yanow Considering how many fine recording sessions he was on in Chicago in the 1920s (particularly with Johnny Dodds), it is surprising how little is known about the mysterious Jimmy Blythe. He was raised in Kentucky, moved to Chicago in 1918, and studied with pianist Clarence Jones. Blythe recorded dozens of piano rolls in the early '20s. He began cutting records in 1924 (Blythe's "Chicago Stomp" from that year is considered by some to be the first full-length boogie-woogie recording). During the next seven years, he made a few piano solos; backed singers Viola Bartlette and Alexander Robinson; teamed up with Dodds in several settings; led Blythe's Sinful Five; recorded with the Midnight Rounders, Jimmy Bertrand's Washboard Wizards, Lonnie Johnson, and the State Street Ramblers; and cut piano duets with Buddy Burton and Charlie Clark. Jimmy Blythe died at the age of 30 from meningitis. A decent soloist and a superior accompanist, nearly all of Blythe's recordings are available on an RST CD. Jimmy Blythe Jimmy Blythe - Wikipedia 1911&amp;nbsp; Vet Boswell, vocals b. Birmingham, AL, USA. Member of famed 'Boswell Sisters' Biography ~by John Bush Definitely the most talented and arguably the all-around best jazz vocal group of all time, the Boswell Sisters parlayed their New Orleans upbringing into a swinging delivery that featured not only impossibly close harmonies, but countless maneuvers of vocal gymnastics rarely equalled on record. Connee (sometimes Connie), Helvetia (Vet), and Martha Boswell grew up singing together, soaking up Southern gospel and blues through close contact with the black community. They first performed at vaudeville houses around the New Orleans area, and began appearing on local radio by 1925. At first, they played strictly instrumentals, with Connee on cello, saxophone and guitar; Martha on piano; and Vet on violin, banjo, and guitar.&amp;nbsp; The station began featuring them in a vocal setting as well, with Connee taking the lead on many songs (despite a childhood accident that had crippled her and left her in a wheelchair). Word of their incredible vocal talents led to appearances in Chicago and New York, and the Boswell Sisters began recording in 1930 for Victor. By the following year, they'd moved to Brunswick and reached the Hit Parade with "When I Take My Sugar to Tea," taken from the Marx Brothers' film Monkey Business and featuring the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra in support. The trio continued to work </itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>boswell sisters, MAY 20TH birthdays, MAY 20, Jaybird Coleman, vet boswell, may birthdays, Emile Berliner, MAY 20TH, berliner, Jimmy Blythe</itunes:keywords><description>HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILE BERLINER!

May 19th, 1894 d. 1955 Henry Busse was born in Germany and emigrated to the United States in 1916 where he found work playing trumpet in a movie theatre pit band. He formed his own band and toured the country ending up in San Francisco where they disbanded. In 1917 he was playing trumpet with the Frisco Jass Band and in 1918 he joined the Paul Whiteman Orchestra. Busse was a major contributor to Whiteman's Orchestra. He co-composed several of the band's early hit songs including "Hot Lips" and "Wang Wang Blues" . Busse stayed with Whiteman until 1928 when he left the band and formed his own group the Henry Busse Orchestra. This group which was more of a sweet dance band than a jazz band had a very successful career. They continued to record and perform up until Busse's death in 1955. www.redhotjazz.com/henrybusse.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Busse 1892 George "Pops" Foster, Bass b.

He also joined Ory in&amp;nbsp;Los Angeles. He gained the nickname "Pops" because he was far older than any of the other players in the band. Sidney Bechet,pianist James P.

North Baxton, Ont., Canada d. 1977 Louis Stanley Hooper (May 18, 1894, North Buxton, Ontario - September 17, 1977, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island) was a Canadian jazz pianist. Hooper was raised in Ypsilanti, Michigan and attended the Detroit Conservatory, where he played locally in dance orchestras in the 1910s. He then moved to New York City around 1920; he recorded with Elmer Snowden and Bob Fuller frequently in the middle of the decade, and performed with both of them in Harlem as well as with other ensembles. Hooper served for some time as the house pianist for Ajax Records and accompanied many blues singers on record, including Martha Copeland,Rosa Henderson, Lizzie Miles, Monette Moore, and Ethel Waters. He participated in the Blackbirds revue of 1928. In 1932 Hooper returned to Canada, where he played in Mynie Sutton's dance band, the Canadian Ambassadors. He did local work solo and in ensembles for the next two decades, then was brought back into the limelight by the Montreal Vintage Music Society in 1962. Hooper released an LP of ragtime piano tunes in 1973 entitled Lou Hooper, Piano. He taught at the University of Prince Edward Island late in his life and appeared regularly on CBC television in Halifax. His papers, which include unpublished compositions and an autobiography, are now held at the National Library of Canada in Ottawa.

Played with "Memphis Minnie" Ernest "Little Son Joe" Lawlers (May 18, 1900 in Hughes, Arkansas –November 14, 1961 in Memphis, Tennessee) was an American blues guitarist, vocalist, and composer. Lawlers is best known for his musical partnership with his wife, Memphis Minnie, but he had been playing guitar and singing blues for some years around Memphis before they got together, including a period with Rev.Robert Wilkins, whom he accompanied on record in 1935. He took up with Minnie in the late 1930s, replacing her previous husband and partner,Kansas Joe McCoy. Lawlers made records under his own name, including the well known "Black Rat Swing", but mostly appeared in the supporting role, on a large number of sides covering most of the 40s and the early years of the following decade. He retired from music with Minnie in the 1950s. ~Wikipedia Dick McPartland with his band The Wolverines. 1905 Dick McPartland Guitar/banjo b. Chicago, IL, USA. d. Nov 30, 1957. Dick was the older brother of trumpeter Jimmy McPartland. In the 1920s, both brothers were early members of the 'Austin High School Gang', a group that helped establish Chicago Jazz. Jimmy began on the violin before switching to banjo and guitar. Among the groups with whom he worked during the 1920s in Chicago, included Red McKenzie (he was Eddie Lang's replacement). In 1928, he recorded with Irving Mills and with Jack Teagarden in 1929. In 1936 and 1939, Dick's rhythm guitar was heard on sessions led by bis brother Jimmy. In his early '30s, a heart attack forced Dick to retire from full-time music. He subsequently earned his living as a cab driver, only appearing at an occasional concert, including in 1955 when he played his final gig. He never led his own record date.
