From Fats Navarro to the seminal Charlie Parker, the history of jazz is full of
amazingly talented musicians who were unable to overcome their demons and ended
up dying much too young. Heroin was the drug of choice for Parker and Navarro;
for Bunny Berigan, it was alcohol. In a perfect world, the trumpeter/bandleader
would have lived to see 80 or 90; instead, Berigan was only 33 when, in 1942, he
died from pneumonia and other health problems that were brought on by his
alcoholism. But even though Berigans career was much shorter than it should have
been, he went down in history as one of the finest trumpet soloists of the 30s
-- and this 66-minute collection offers a highly rewarding overview of his work.
Technically, the title A Melody From the Sky: 1932-1940 is misleading because
the 21 selections were actually recorded from 1932-1939 instead of from
1932-1940; nonetheless, this CD has a lot going for it -- not only a wealth of
first-rate performances, but also good sound quality (by 78-era standards),
attractive artwork, and the insightful, comprehensive liner notes of jazz critic
Scott Yanow (who assembled the collection and presents the material in
chronological order). Many of these performances are essential, including Blue
Lou, Mahogany Hall Stomp, and his sublime 1937 version of George Gershwins I
Cant Get Started (the hit Berigan is best-remembered for). One of the most
interesting tracks is Berigans unlikely arrangement of The Prisoners Song, a gem
that had been a number one hit for country singer Vernon Dalhart in 1925. While
Dalharts famous version was old-time country at its most melancholy, Berigan
successfully transforms The Prisoners Song into an exuberant, surprisingly happy
instrumental. A Melody From the Sky isnt the last word on the trumpeters legacy,
but for novices and casual listeners, this disc can be an excellent starting
point.~Alex Henderson
