This is the B side of "Learnin' the Blues" demo recording on the Gold Star label no. 253.
In 1952 my father Joe Techner had settled back home in Philly after having been on the road with the Elliot Lawrence Orchestra for three years. He had a reputation as a hot jazz trumpet player but his father, an electrical contractor, felt Joe should try and become a contractor in the music business. Joe's only such attempt to be a contractor came in 1952 for South Philly vocalist Joe Valino (born Paolino). My dad contracted the musicians and made a studio recording with Valino of "Learnin' the Blues" and "Lonely Boy" on the Gold Star label. This was a demo recording to promote Valino's career. In a November 15, 2000 Philadelphia Weekly article, Carmen Dee -- who my father worked for at Palumbo's at the end of his music career -- remarked that Valino's career was damaged because he dissed Frank Sinatra. The article goes on to try and figure out how this could be. Dee was quite right. Apparently the writer had not known the details that Valino's relative and I had discussed two years earlier. On August 23, 1998, I met Valino's niece, Lisa Paolino at her Bryn Mawr home. I tracked her down through a contact at WNWR radio and her "Timeless" CD release of her uncle's music. Joe Valino died in 1996 and never had children. Lisa had all of her beloved uncle's recordings, music and effects. We spent the evening together and then she told me what my father had told me years before. Sinatra heard the demo and sent goons down to Philly to pressure Valino to give up his rights to the recording. Sinatra was attempting his own comeback in 1952 and "Learnin' the Blues" was just the right chart to make it happen. Sinatra also feared that Valino sounded too much like himself. Sinatra's men beat up Valino when he refused to cooperate. Sinatra recorded and released his own version on it in a miraculous seven day turnaround covering Valino's version. Valino eventually re-recorded the song on the Debut label. Valino's recording of "Learnin' the Blues" was hexed. The 2000 Philadelphia Weekly article was entitled, "The Sad Song of Joe Valino." It could have just as well been called, "The Sad Song of Joe Valino and Joe Techner." My father had difficulty getting money from Valino to pay the bandmembers. Joe had to borrow thousands of dollars from his father to pay the musicians. Joe then went to the Musicians Union to repay his father who loaned money to my dad to tide him over. With the union's pressure, Valino eventually paid. I told Lisa this side -- my family's side -- of the story. She said she had not known this. I didn't go too much into with her because I did not want to upset her. In a recent April 9, 2008 City Paper article, Lisa notes that the "Learnin' the Blues" recording was recorded at his mother's house. This is not true as my father had to contract a studio to record the demo that had the following personnel: Joe Techner, trumpet; Jerry Gilgor, drums; Gene Kutch, piano; Vince Forrest (Forchetti) -- Trombone; Ace Tesone -- Bass. Sax was either Mike Goldberg and/or Al Steel. My father was very much involved in the Valino recording. The song was written by Delores Vicki Silver, a Bala Cynwyd fiancée of a soldier that was killed in World War II. My father and Valino went to her house to listen to the woman play the selection on piano for them. Lisa had a much more sordid recollection of Silver's background. This is the actual demo with Valino and my father. It is on the Gold Star Record Co. label no. 253 with the Gene Kutch Orchestra. Muted trumpet accompaniment and solo by Joe Techner. Amazingly, I saw this 45 RPM proudly displayed on the wall of Lisa's home. Even more amazing, I found one of the only other rare copies of the same demo on eBay and grabbed it for $8. This is that record.
Since my upload of this video, jazz historian Marc Myers has done some excellent follow-up research on this story! You can read it here http://www.jazzwax.com/ Neither my father nor Valino's niece were there to witness the "goon" confrontation. So we may never really know the truth. Nonetheless, it is a compelling story passed down through both our families.

My father Joe Techner (pictured) was trumpet on the three Left Bank Bearcats "Dixieland" a
My father Joe Techner (pictured) was trumpet on the three Left Bank Bearcats "Dixieland" albums. Joe was named "Aron Dubois" on the record. The Left Bank Bearcat albums were knock-off albums probably made by David Miller's Somerset label to cash-in on the Dukes of Dixieland albums that debuted in May 1957. The recordings were produced by Joe Kuhn, an army musician buddy of my father's.
My dad recalled that the record was sort of "underground" since those responsible for it didn't go through the "proper channels" to make it. As a result, according to my father, Kuhn was beat up and later died. The official cause of death was cancer of the spinal cord following a two-year illness.
Most of what we know about these recordings comes from trombonist Al Leopold, who also played trombone in the band of Jan Savitt from 1937 - 1941. Leopold told both TechnerVideo and Belgian jazz discographer Walter Bruyninckx the story. Leopold got a phone call from Dave Miller producer of the Somerset label to put a band together that had to play dixieland music but had to sound like a French amateur band! Miller put out the recording "as recorded in Paris" with ficticious French names! Aaron Dubois was Joe Techner (trumpet), Marcel Durand was Al Leopold (trombone, leader), Jack Bonner was Frank Lewis (clarinet), Bertrand Gasté was Bernie Lowe (piano), Robert Eluist was Billy La Pata (banjo, guitar), Jon Gautreaux was Joe Kuhn (bass, tuba) and Jacques Cas was Jack Cassidy (drums).
Al Leopold told me that the first album was Somerset P1400 recorded at the Reco-Art studio, 212 N. 12th St. in Philadelphia, but Al can't remember the exact dates although he thinks they must have been made 1956-1957. The second album was Somerset SF8300 and was recorded in Swarthmore, PA. The third album was Somerset P5300, recorded in Wallingford, PA and there's some history about this LP. Dave Miller choose as location a bar which had a room behind for all sorts of events. The bar and the room were both connected to the toilet in between. Miller wanted to add some echo to this LP and opened the toilet door on the room side. After the first number they were listening to the balance when suddenly there was a flush of a toilet so Dave decided they should make the record without an echo!"
In a blog, Dave Stoddard accurately recounts how these recordings were viewed in Philly music circles, "The 1957 LPs were partly performances, partly musical jokes (hence the pseudonyms). I was aware of the records because friends of mine knew Al Leopold, and he had mentioned recording them. Once, to Leopold's absolute delight, a jazz aficionado trying to impress him described (erroneously) having heard the Left Bank Bearcats play in Paris."
In 1997, I contacted Al Sherman, owner of Alshire Records in Burbank, Calif. At the time, Sherman owned the Somerset catalog. I told Sherman the recordings were not made in Paris and he became irate. He knew it was a lie. At the time, I purchased copies of the Left Bank Bearcats LPs from Sherman. He mailed me USED copies with the name Dave Miller crossed out on the liner notes! The Somerset catalog is now owned by Madacy Entertainment, Montreal. I contacted Madacy but they showed no interest nor provided any information when requested. They were more interested in Dave Miller's 1955 recordings of Bill Hailey and the Comets on his earlier Essex label.

Bob Sheble was a local Philadelphia drummer that died April 6, 1952 in an auto accident with his wife. My father Joe Techner was trumpet in his band 1946. His band had four trumpets, including Tommy Kaplan and Joe Techner who would split the solo work. Jimmy Padget had lead trumpet. Gerry Mulligan did the arrangments and pianist Gene Kutch wrote the majority of the book. Mike Sable did sax solos. Phil (Italian last name?) was baritone sax. Joe Borack had lead alto. Les Arnold and Phil DeLuca were also in the sax section. His wife was the singer in the band. This recording is from an obscure home recording disc made at the Hotel DuPont, Wilmington about 1946, transferred for TechnerVideo by George Blood, former Philadelphia Orchestra recording engineer. This is the only known photo of the band taken at the Marine Ballroom, Steel Pier, Atlantic City. TechnerVideo interviewed Phil DeLuca, Les Arnold and Joe Borock (now all deceased) for this story. Photo, story and recording copyright TechnerVideo.
Time Chronicle (Jenkintown), April 10, 1952, page 1: Services Held For Couple Who Died in Crash - Robert Sheble And Wife Of Accident in South - Robert Sheble, 29, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Howard Sheble, and his wife, Martha, were killed Sunday night in an automobile accident near Faison, North Carolina. Mr. Sheble, a popular band leader, and his 23-year-old bride were enroute in a station wagon for a Florida vacation. With them was Raymond Sharp, 22, society columnist for the Evening Bulletin. Mr. Sheble succumbed to head injuries and Mrs. Sheble died of internal injuries. Sharp was treated at a hospital for lacerations and abrasions. North Carolina State Police said the station wagon collided with a school bus containing forty Negro adults and one child. The bus was not a student vehicle but was used for school personnel. Ten passengers were treated at the hospital. The threesome left the Sheble residence at West Valley Green road, near Bethleham pike, Whitemarsh, Sunday morning. The accident occurred at about ten o'clock Sunday night. Whitemarsh Township police received word of the fatal accident and informed the elder Sheble, whose home is next to Robert's house, at 2:30 a.m. Monday. Mr. Sheble took a plane to the scene shortly afterwards. A native of Rydal, the youthful veteran of World War II is survived by his parents and two brothers, Richard of Plainfield, N.J.; and J. Howard, 3rd, of Alexandria, Va. The couple had been married only three years and recently moved into their new home, built adjacent to his father's. Young Sheble had been a member of the U.S. Army Band and recently was with the Howard Lanin Orchestra, Philadelphia. Mrs. Sheble, the former Martha Claflin, is survived by her mother, Mrs. William Claflin, Philadelphia. Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at Bringhurst's Funeral Home, 2000 Walnut street, Philadelphia. Interment was private.
Philadelphia Inquirer, April 8, 1952, page 25: ROBERT SHEBLE, WIFE DIE IN CRASH Robert Sheble, 29 a Philadelphia orchestra leader and his wife, Martha Claflin Sheble, 23, of W. Valley rd.., Whitemarsh, were killed in a head-on collision of their station wagon and a bus near Faison, N.C. it was learned here yesterday. A companion, Jay R. Sharp, Jr., 22, of 30 Chestnut St., Cynwyd, was cut and bruised in the crash, which occurred on U.S. 117 as the three were en route to Palm Beach, Fla. Sheble, a veteran of the Second World War, was known professionally as Bob Shebley. Formerly a drummer with Benny Goodman and other leaders, he organized his own orchestra about a year ago and also was manager of the Howard Lanin organization in charge of society functions. His orchestra had played in Philadelphia Friday night at the Junior Bal Mosque at the Warwick and on Saturday night at the Agnes Irwin School dance in Wynewood. He was the son of J. Howard Sheble, a Jenkintown real estate broker.
