I am doing research on a jazz musician who played with Joe Venuti in the early 1970s.
Would you have contact information for the person or persons who have oversight for Mr. Venuti’s estate?
Thank you.

Richard, i used to work at Phonogram UK with Clive, I was wondering if he was still active as a singer?

He’s been away from music for years but is coming back!
We are planning to do a new project.
As soon as we find a backer!!!

Dr. Niles,
Thank you for your wonderful book about the unsung heroes of the music industry.
I am thoroughly enjoying it and learning as I read.
May I make a gentle observation.
The famous arranger for Sinatra was AXEL Stordahl. Great string writing.
THANKS again for the great book!-
Thanks, sorry if there was a typo.
That’s what you get with self published books!

Hi Richard, Kenny Pore here. I’m a writer producer living in Texas. I’ve recently discovered your talent and sure enjoy what you have done in your career. Don’t know why I’m just now discovering you. We have a lot of mutual friends and have worked with the same musicians. So I hope maybe one day we could hook up and work together. All the best, Kenny

Mr. Niles I’m writing on behalf of my brother. He has acquired an old guitar that I believe once belonged to you. The make and model of the guitar is:
Guild F30 NT
The guitar was manufactured in the late 60’s.
I’m sure you’ve owned many guitars in your amazing career but, I was wondering
if you possibly recall owning such an instrument and if you might be able to shed any light on its history.Respectfully
J.

I never owned a GUILD guitar.

Sorry I’m only now getting this message.You would need to send me a photo of the guitar. But I have never owned a Guild.

I have just listened again to the 1999 broadcast of Ray Charles in Glasgow.
I wonder if you can supply the personnel of the orchestra as such information is almot impossible to find for archived broadacsts, Great trumpet , vibraphone & guitar solos.
Cheers
Michael.

It was billed I believe as the BBC Big Band, but whenever I did these gigs with Ray I used his traveling rhythm section with members of my big band, BANDZILLA. Please check out my recent album BANDZILLA RISES!!! Get the audio CD for all the credits:
On Ray’s gigs I used UK players Nigel Hitchcock, Guy Barker, Mark Nightingale, John Thirkell, among others!
Where did you hear this? If it is online, I would appreciate if you would send me the link! reply to richard@richardniles.com
Thanks!
