Marty Ctokl is a kindly, sober-sided gentleman who

wears tweeds, a thoughtful expression, and smokes

odd pipes. His speech is soft and deliberate. He is a

conductor and arranger of repute in the big band

“pop” field.

Marty Gold used to play piano with the old Korn

Kobblers Band.

“Make no mistake about this type of music-

call it ‘doo wacka doo’ in this album,” he says,

is not out to kid anybody or anything; it’s not rj

satirical or parody music. It’s a kind

with a down-home inflection, corn-

tlie word—with a Dixie influ^fiw.\\li

spirits and humor. And it really ^vvl^

beat—a square-dance type of

You will hear slap-tonguing by the r^^^^^^Kky-

ticky musical phrasing and doo wal«|MK>^ounds by

the trumpets. It takes darn good musicians to play

this music!

“Doo wacka doo has a long and respectable history.

It is actually an upper-Midwestern regional music

that spread over the whole country. Back in the Thir¬

ties, Rudy Vallee was on his way cross-country to

make a movie in Hollywood. He stopped off in St.

Paul, Minnesota, and there in a small club he heard

an outfit called the Sehnickelfritz Band. It was really

pulling the crowds. Rudy was so excited about the

group that he arranged to use it in the movie ‘Gold

Diggers in Paris,’ which was a big hit at the time.

“Later in the Thirties came the Korn Kobblers, an

offshoot—you might say—of the original Schnickel-

fritz Band. And again, they were a big hit on radio

and records and wherever they appeared.

“In this allHiny yj-' are attempting not only to du-

plicaJ^Aliy>ai\c'ess and feeling of these early bands,

juhmade famous by the wall-wall trum¬

pet or-Clyde McCoy. Of course, we include Tiger Rag

Kith its trombone smears, and two great 1925 stand¬

ards—Yes Sir, That’s My Baby, written by the fabu¬

lous team of Gus Kahn and Walter Donaldson, and

Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue.

“For our musicians, we picked from the top side-

men in the East who are also skilled enough to play

this music. We were fortunate to get Kels Laakso,

the great doo wacka doo trumpeter of the original

Sehnickelfritz Band.

“Doo wacka doo? It is to music what stunt flying

is to regular flying. It takes outstanding musicians

who not only ‘fly’ great, but do inside loops, tail spins

and barrel rolls! ’ ’
