Out of the Vault | "The History of American Jazz" A nostalgic and reminiscent concert performance by the celebrated Bill Fallon Sextet | Produced 1959

HIStory
Take a blues lit, story-ville tour of "The History of American Jazz", a nostalgic and reminiscent concert performance that was developed, arranged, and conducted by heart and soul jazz musician, Bill Fallon (1925-1986), native son of Westborough, a small New England jazzy-apple orchard town, located 34 miles west of Boston, MA.

In October 1959, Bill and his locally popular jazz sextet - a rich, colorful blend of percussion, key, string and brass - performed a wealth of blues-jazz standards and melodies to a large audience in the small town of Hudson, located just outside of Framingham, MA, in collaboration with the local Chi-Rho Society.

BILL FALLON & HIS SEXTET
Bill Fallon - Conductor, Piano
Al Cardoza - Drums
Frank Casceli - Clarinet and Alto Sax
Bill Garcia - Clarinet and Tenor Sax
Frank Garcia - Trumpet
Ray Harpin - Bass
Tom Mealey - Trombone

CONCERT MISSION
The purpose of this performance was not only to entertain an eager audience and inspire youth, but to pay tribute to the notable African-American musicians and song writers who gave birth to the music genre of Jazz, as well as those who kept it alive and ever evolving across the generations.

New jazz hybrids appeared on the scene when fused with multiethnic music that widened the genre's wingspan and migration throughout the nation. It rode the rails and river steamboats, branching out from its U.S. birthplace in New Orleans, on up the Mississippi River, out to Kansas City, Chicago, Memphis, New York City and beyond.

LOST TREASURE FOUND
The reel-to-reel recording of "The History of American Jazz" concert was discovered in the late 1990's in the attic of the Chapman family Westborough home. We will be forever grateful to "Chappy" who recorded and preserved this concert performance, a long lost Fallon family treasure that had been lying in wait for its rediscovery.

This jewel of music was faithfully restored and partitioned into 22 tracks by friend and sound engineer, Doug Benroth (Audio Visual 7), who made it possible for us to share this enjoyable volume of music with all of you in WAV audio file format.

HISTORY OF AMERICAN JAZZ: AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL
It was Bill Fallon's wish that music teachers and their students, composers, arrangers, musicians and jazz enthusiasts alike find this historical volume of music entertaining as well as educational.

This volume of music is rich in its exploration of the many elements of the art form and stuff of life that go into quality music making. It is in this endeavor that we, the Fallon family, help make Bill's dream come true.

DEDICATION
We are forever grateful to our beloved mother, Marion, and leader-of-the-band father, Bill Fallon, who instilled in us the immense love of music. Keep it live! ~ Paul, Kathleen, Nancy and the entire Fallon Family
