JACK PARNELL
Jack Parnell, was a drummer, a popular bandleader in the 1950s, and went onto become musical director at Associated Television. In this capacity he had musical responsibility for the whole of ATV's output, from Sunday Night At The London Palladium to The Muppet Show.
Parnell was the real conductor for music used in The Muppet Show, which was filmed in London when Lew Grade snapped it up following rejection by networks in the United States.
Jack Parnell began learning the piano at age five and the drums at eight. When he was 10 years old his father took him to the first British appearance of Duke Ellington's orchestra, which determined him on a musical career. He took his first professional engagement at 16, with a concert party at the Futurist Theatre, Scarborough, left to join the Sammy Ash Band at the Rex Ballroom, Cambridge, and joined the RAF in 1940.
His ambition to play in a big band was achieved in the summer of 1945, when he joined the newly-formed Ted Heath and his Music. Heath's intention had been to lead a "sweet" band playing music from the pre-war era, but the corps of young musicians he had hired, including Parnell and Baker, persuaded him to adopt a more jazz-flavoured style. As well as playing drums, Parnell took over the job of singing the swing and novelty numbers and soon became one of the band's main attractions. He appears in the 1946 film London Town, performing what is almost an early form of rap music with a piece entitled The 'Ampstead Way.
In 1951, Parnell left Heath and formed his own band. Its first engagement was playing for the West End show Fancy Free, staged by Val Parnell and starring Tommy Trinder and Pat Kirkwood. This required him to conduct, something he had never done. He turned for help to George Malcolm, conductor and harpsichordist, whom he had known since Bomber Command days. Malcolm helped him out in this predicament and went onto provide him with a thorough grounding in the conductor's art.
With the advent of rock and roll, the fortunes of the big bands declined. Parnell accepted the job of musical director at ATV in 1956, a post he was to hold for 26 years. The company's flagship show, Sunday Night At The London Palladium, was broadcast live for most of its run, with rehearsals during the day. The tension as transmission time approached was enormous, but Parnell always maintained that shows produced under these stressful conditions came over better than the later, pre-recorded ones.
In all, Parnell conducted more than 2,500 shows for ATV and worked with virtually every top entertainer of the period. His work on the Barbra Streisand Special gained him an Emmy Award in 1973. He also won both the Harriet Cohen and Ivor Novello Awards during his ATV career.
MANHATTAN SPIRITUAL
Was written by Reg Owen, who had a one-time hit in 1958 with this catchy tune.
It peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The same track reached #20 in the UK Singles Chart in March 1959.
It has been covered by an array of artists since its first publication in '58.
MHO
A composition you may have heard before, maybe in the original version as recorded by Reg Owen in the fifties. This newer version, recorded by "Muppet Maestro" Parnell in the mid seventies, was included in Parnell's album "Big Band Showtime". Parnell and his Band played it in tribute to the late Reg Owen, who had died too young at the age of only 57. It's a catchy song, with a high jazzy feel to it and with feature roles for both the brass and the drums. I remember hearing this for the first time in a seventies TV show and I can still recall that I was immediately 'blown away' by it. Not knowing the title at first, I even wrote to the national broadcasting company in order to find out.
To my surprise, they replied and besides title and artist, they even mentioned the record label, the album number and the production date !
When hearing the song later either on radio or television, I was so proud that I could inform the other family members what the title was and who performed it !
Enjoy !
