Jason jumps In

Gunhild Carling original, feat Jason Bellenkes - Speakeasy

[from [gopher://codemadness.org/1/idiotbox.cgi?v=hnGywhDsoFE](gopher://codemadness.org/1/idiotbox.cgi?v=hnGywhDsoFE) with a few corrections.]

Jason jumps in is an original composition by Gunhild Carling (cornet/trumpet).
Here featuring Jason Bellenkes on the alto sax, Idun Carling trombone, Viggo Carling banjo, Lakshmi Ramirez Bass, Tsugumi Shikano drums, Neil Fantano piano, and behind the camera Johnny Bloom (Johan Blomé).

Recorded at Gunny’s speakeasy Oct. 2024

The lyrics are

Alexa, can you play saxophone?
Because today I’m feeling alone
No family or friends on the phone
I’m listening to smooth Emmett Cohen
Jason jump in
Where have you been?
All I need is more saxophone

Gunny's Speakeasy Live from California

Gunhild Carling, Idun Carling, Viggo Carling-Blomé, Johan Blomé, Jason Belenkes, and Endikah Courir (2024)

Gunhild plugs her new album. Idun's apparently on break from UC Irvine, where she's an undergrad. Look for her videos. She's made a few in Irvine at Hangar 24.

Black Bottom Stomp

Jelly Roll Morton and his Red Hot Peppers (September 15, 1926)

This recording was recorded 98 years ago today. If you want to know what the phrase "hot jazz" means, just listen to this.

Beale Street Blues

Gunhild Carling and her sister Gerd with the Carling Sisters (Nanna, Petronella, and Linnea) and their half-sister Sigrid, along with Maurits on tenor sax (2023)

I think this was somewhere in Sweden. Nanna really demonstrated what her voice can do in this performance. Her cousin Idun has a sweeter voice, but few women have as powerful a voice as Nanna.

Blues in G

Gunhild Carling with the Waco Jazz Orchestra (2024)

Great tune! Carling plays harmonica, trombone, and sings. Was this written by Carling? Great solos by members of the Waco Jazz Orchestra. BTW, in the hot jazz world "blues" doesn't mean slow, sad music. This song is definitely not slow or sad.

Fire Alarm

Gunhild Carling with the Waco Jazz Orchestra (2024)

This song was also in her concert in Syracuse. I wrote that I hoped we could get a better video of it. Well here it is. This was written by Carling, herself.

SS Antigua Blues

Sierra Stompers with Nathan Tokunaga (2023)

This tune was written by Lu Watters when he was on the SS Antigua, a US Navy supply ship during WWII. He recorded it with his Yerba Buena Jazz Band in SF. It was released in 1947.

Tokunaga does his usual great job.

The old Spencer Williams tune recorded a couple of times by Louis Armstrong. I don't recognize the second tune played briefly at the end.

Syracuse Jazz

Gunhild Carling Big Band from Syracuse, NY (2024)

This video seems to be recorded by a cellphone from the side of the stage. As a consequence, both the sound quality and the view of the performers are disappointing. Also disappointing is that this is 516.4 MiB, but it's only 1:03:13 long. If this were super high quality video and audio, that would be OK with me, but the quality is below par.

Gunhild, herself does a great job. I just wish I could hear her and the band better.

Her new song, "Fire Alarm" is great. I hope she performs it with her family and friends when she gets back home. When her husband Johan engineers the videos, they are much better. In this performance, none of her family (either from Sweden or California) appears.

She plays Renaissance recorder, slide whistle, harmonica, Swedish bagpipes, trombone, trumpet, and cornet. She also dances and sings.

Ah. Here's the stunt where she plays three trumpets at the same time. It's at 47:37.

Oh good! She's finishing with her own "Hot Head."

She really gives it all she's got, and she's got a lot to give.

Malmö Sweden -- Gunhild Carling Live from Ribersborg Kallbadhus

Gunhild, Aina, Max, and Ulf Carling with others (2024)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auzK78RwDuc

There are two videos of this. This one is unnecessarily large at 562.10 MiB, but the other one is 1.07 GiB!

This was Sunday Sweden time.

This will stream in 4 days. It will be Gunhild live at the Syracuse Jazz Festival.

Cake Walking Babies

Mutt Carey and his New Yorkers (1948)

I had never heard this tune before I recently heard Gunhild Carling play it. All the musicians here were also in the All Star Stompers, except for Mutt Carey and Hank Duncan. Carey replaces Wild Bill Davison, and Duncan replaces Ralph Sutton.

Cupertino High School March

Gunhild Carling, Nanna, Linnea and Petronella Carling (2024)

Cupertino high school March Gunhild Carling cornet , Nanna Carling soprano sax, Linnea Carling banjo, Petronella Carling trombone, Håkan Persson bass\
\
Inspired by the School’s marching band that Idun and Viggo plays/played in. (Michelle Kotlyar, Manav and Pritish Budhrani and Easwar Dasineni also studied at CHS.)\
\
Music by Gunhild Carling Download Score https://jazzartcom.wordpress.com/2024/06/08/cupertino-high-school-march-3p-score-for-jazz-band/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H3KyUuBW94

Idun (18) (former Swedish TV actress and now an undergrad at UC Irvine) and Viggo (16) are Gunhild’s children. Michelle, the Budhrani brothers and Easwar Dasineni are neighbors of Gunhild in Cupertino. The Carling sisters are Gunhild’s nieces.

Because the Carling sisters and Håkan Persson are in this video, I suspect this video was recorded in Sweden. According to her calendar (https://www.gunhildcarling.net/c1/calendar) Gunhild’s been in Sweden recently.
