Along Tin Pan Alley they refer
to Norman Granz, producer of
"Jazz at the Philharmonic," com-
ing to Ann Arbor Wednesday, as
"Mr. Jazz." This is odd when one
considers that he can't even play
a musical instrument. Still this
36-year-old Californian rules a
jazz empire grossing over five
million dollars a year.
Young Granz first worked as a
quotation clerk some 14 years ago
in the Los Angeles Stock Exchange.
Every now and then he would get
away from it all by rounding up
some jazz musicians, putting on a
jam session and charging admis-
sion.
On a memorable night in 1944
at the Los Angeles Philharmonic
Auditorium, Granz tossed a jam-
boree that "shook the rafters."
JATP Is Born
It was the birth of what Granz
tagged "Jazz at the Philharmonic."
In the next ten years, "Jazz at the
Phil" became one of the most
successful enterprises of its kind.
Granz possesses a great amount
of energy and it is all spent on the
jazz he loves. When not busy with
the annual JATP tours on this
continent, in Europe and in lands
across the Pacific, he is busily re-
cording the country's leading jazz
men.
Back in 1944 Granz recorded his
first JATP album, "How High The
Moon." He has since issued 16 al-
bums featuring jazzdom's top mu-
sicians playing under actual con-
cert conditions.
Records Top Artists
Granz has been foremost in re-
cording under studio conditions
the artistry of nearly every lead-
ing jazz musician in the U.S., as
well as the work of gifted newcom-
ers.
The jazz scene has been docu-
mented by Granz on film, as well
as on platters. With photographer
Gjon Mili, he produced an Acad-
emy Award winning short, "Jam-
min' the Blues," which is consid-
ered one of the best film treat-
ments of jazz ever made.
As he has been doing for the
last ten years, Granz will personal-
ly emcee the coming JATP con-
cert, which will be presented at 7
and 9:15 p.m. Wednesday evening
at Hill Auditorium.
