Jazz Notes: Goings on in the jazz world

Today is Feb. 5.

Trumpeter Don Goldie was born this date in Newark, N.J., in 1930. He recorded brilliant solos with the Jack Teagarden Band during an association that began in 1959.

Pianist Art Lande, best known for his solo and small group work, was born this day in 1947 in New York.

On this day in 1940, the Glenn Miller Band recorded "Tuxedo Junction" on the Bluebird label. It fast became one of the band's most famous tunes, rivaling "In The Mood" in popularity.

Backbeat Books is just out with the 4th edition of its rather comprehensive "All Music Guide to Jazz."

There is a rather spotty inclusion and exclusion of current-day jazz artists in the 1,472-page publication, which boasts reviews of more than 20,000 recordings by 1,700 artists.
