▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ About a couple dozen Belasco discs (as well as a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ couple of interview excerpts) from 1914-61, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ although most of the tracks are from the late '20s ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and early '30s, and the only post-1933 numbers are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a few items from 1961. According to the liner ▓▌
▓████▓▌ notes, almost all of the tunes are Venezuelan ▓▌
▓████▓▌ dances or Trinidadian Carnival music that Belasco ▓▌
▓████▓▌ would have been exposed to when he was young, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ adapted for recording (and sometimes copyrighting) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ purposes. Bear in mind that although the disc bears ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Belasco's name, he is pianist and bandleader, not ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (with the exception of a 1961 number) the vocalist. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Many of the songs are instrumental, and those with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ vocals are usually sung by Wilmoth Houdini or E. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Peters. Except for the 1914 cut, "Panama Paseo No. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1" (recorded in Trinidad), all of this was recorded ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in New York City. It's good-natured calypso (well, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ what calypso is not good-natured), with a goodly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ portion of early jazz and parlor music influences, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as well as Creole and Caribbean ones. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ..................................... ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ It has been claimed that Belasco was the first ▓▌
▓████▓▌ musician to popularize West Indian music to a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ significant audience outside the English-speaking ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Caribbean. The child of a Sephardic Jew and a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Trinidadian Creole, pianist and vocalist Belasco ▓▌
▓████▓▌ made his first recording in Trinidad in 1914. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Between 1914 and 1945 he made at least 278 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recordings under his own nameùmore than any other ▓▌
▓████▓▌ West Indian bandleader did. He was one of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ artists responsible for the hybrid of stylesùtaken ▓▌
▓████▓▌ from disparate sources including European classical ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music, waltzes, jazz, pop, and African and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Caribbean folk musicùthat became known as calypso. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Belasco was a well-traveled manùin the West Indies, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ South America, and New York Cityùfor his time, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ experience which probably contributed to the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ potpourri of influences that can be detected in his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music.s ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Soon after his recording debut, Belasco moved to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ New York after a rumored affair with the daughter ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (who was his piano student) of Trinidad's governor. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In addition to recording and writing songs, he made ▓▌
▓████▓▌ piano rolls, ran a piano store, and regularly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ returned to Trinidad for Carnival, in part to pick ▓▌
▓████▓▌ up new tunes. As a bandleader/recording artist he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ was engaging and humorous. Perhaps his discs were ▓▌
▓████▓▌ not as earthy as some of the other early calypso ▓▌
▓████▓▌ greats, but they usually boasted a high level of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ musicianship, rhythmic bounce, and accomplished ▓▌
▓████▓▌ arrangements. As a composer his chief virtue was an ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ability to adapt material from Trinidadian and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Venezuelan sources for recording purposes and a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ larger audience. Indeed some songs that are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ credited to him were adapted from such sources and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ copyrighted by Belasco, a common practice among ▓▌
▓████▓▌ many musicians and publishers during that era. He ▓▌
▓████▓▌ claimed that "Rum and Coca Cola," a big hit in the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1940s, was based on a calypso called "L'Annee ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Passee" that he had published in a song folio in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1943. "L'Annee" in turn was actually based on a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Martinquean folk song, although Belasco claimed to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ have written it in the early 1900s. Belasco ▓▌
▓████▓▌ collaborated with numerous artists, including ▓▌
▓████▓▌ vaudevillian Phil Madison, calypso singer Wilmoth ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Houdini, concert singer Massie Patterson, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ vocalist Gracila Faulkner. He continued to record, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in the United States and England, until the 1960s ▓▌
▓████▓▌ before dying, in his mid-eighties, in 1967. ▓▌
