│ │     About Gerard Badini:                                                │ │
│ │                                                                         │ │
│ │     While many releases on long-gone European labels are hard to        │ │
│ │     track, it is possible this French reed player has appeared on       │ │
│ │     something like 150 jazz recording sessions since the late '40s.     │ │
│ │     Which isn't bad, or rather is Badini. Nothing establises him as     │ │
│ │     the distinguished continental type more than a credit such as       │ │
│ │     this: Gerard Badini, self-taught clarinetist and tenor              │ │
│ │     saxophonist, made his professional debut at the Monte Carlo         │ │
│ │     Sporting Club in 1952. He had begun his musical training as a       │ │
│ │     classical singer, and picked up the clarinet in 1950. While         │ │
│ │     roulette wheels spun and clicked and the elite of Europe lost       │ │
│ │     fortunes, Badini honed his musical craft in various traditional     │ │
│ │     jazz bands. A tour of the European continent alongside Sidney       │ │
│ │     Bechet was a chance to be heard by a more expansive jazz            │ │
│ │     audience at venues such as the Salle Pleyal in his native Paris     │ │
│ │     and Festival Hall across the pond in London. It can be assumed      │ │
│ │     that it was also an opportunity to be overshadowed.                 │ │
│ │     By the end of the '50s Badini had switched to tenor saxophone,      │ │
│ │     cultivating relationships with players such as pianist Claude       │ │
│ │     Bolling, drummer Gerard Pochonet, and alto saxophonist Michel       │ │
│ │     Attenoux. Badini 's bingo is straight-ahead swing; he is a          │ │
│ │     Benny Goodman man, although he solos capably and with a             │ │
│ │     consistent sense of adventure within well-tested stylistic          │ │
│ │     boundaries on tenor saxophone as well as clarinet. Through the      │ │
│ │     '60s and '70s he worked both as leader of his own small combos      │ │
│ │     such as Swing Machine and behind visiting American stars            │ │
│ │     including vocalist Helen Humes and a rotating series of             │ │
│ │     ex-sidemen from Duke Ellington's band. On that subject, a side      │ │
│ │     cut with trombonist Sam Woodyard is some of the baddest Badini.     │ │
│ │     Badini tried living in New York for several years in the late       │ │
│ │     '70s, but returned to France by 1982, obsessing about getting a     │ │
│ │     decent croissant in the morning. The Super Swing Machine was        │ │
│ │     his contribution to the culture of 1984. In the '90s he arrived     │ │
│ │     at the slightly less arrogrant band name of Gerard Badini Big       │ │
│ │     Band. This group, in co-leadership with Michel Leeb, recorded       │ │
│ │     the fine 1996 tribute entitled Djangos d'Or featuring guest         │ │
│ │     artists Johnny Griffin on tenor saxophone and vocalist Dee Dee      │ │
│ │     Bridgewater.                                                        │ │
