ZIGGY ELMAN
b. May 26, 1914, Philadelphia, PA, USA. d. June 26, 1968 Van Nuys, CA, USA.
né: Harry Finkelman
Theme: "And The Angels Sing" (MGM 10047) (also on a Bluebird record that isn't Elman's band)(BUBLITCHKI Bluebird label
B-10103-A)
Referring to this Bluebird recording, a site visitor has advised:
"Actually this is the original recording of "And The Angels Sing" before it had
lyrics. It was then known as "Fralach In Swing" and it is this title which appears
on early pressings. Later ones use "And The Angels Sing". The musicians are all
from the Benny Goodman band of the period as was Ziggy Elman himself and include
the complete reed section and Jess Stacy at the piano."
In December 1938, Elman was invited to start making some recordings which would be released as "Ziggy Elman and His Orchestra," but, in truth, his musicians
were actually all members of the Goodman band.
ZIGGY ELMAN's
talent, youthful exuberance and brashness came to the fore when Benny allowed him to interpolate Yiddish "Fralich-er" (Yiddish for 'happy-like') phraseology into his solos. The public simply adored this. Probably the best known example of Ziggy's style is Benny's recording of "And The Angels Sing" - as popular today as when it was first 'laid down on wax'.

While with Goodman he recorded 20 sides for the Bluebird label. Although the labels indicate "Ziggy Elman and His Orchestra" these records actually have Elman leading a band made up of members of Goodman's orchestra.
How popular was Ziggy? He won the Downbeat Magazine's Poll for Best Trumpet in 1940 and '41, 1943 through 1945 and again in 1947. Many people thought Ziggy to be the world's greatest trumpet player

Yiddish lyrics

Bublichki,
Koyft mayne beygelecht,
Heysinke bublichki,
Hu,koyft...

Es kumt bald on di nakht,
Ich shtey zikh tif fartrakht,

Zaynen farshvarst.
Der frost indroysn brent,
Farfroyrn mayne hent,
Fer tzores zing ikh mir
Mayn troy'rik lid.

Nu,koyft zhe bublichki,
Heysinke beygelekht,

Ikh shtey aleyn in gas,
Fun regn ver ikh nas,

Nu koyft bay mir...

Di nakht es geyt farbay,

Ikh shtey in gas un trakht,
Vos vet dokh zayn?
Der veytik iz in hoyz,
Fun hunger gey ikh oys,
Oy menshn,hert mayn lid,
Fun hunger shvakh.

TRANSLATION

BAGELS! HOT BAGELS!

Come-and-get my bagels
Hot bagels, hot rolls
It's almost night now
Here I stand deep in thought
See, how dark my eyes are!

It's freezing out here
My hands are frozen stiff
This sad song comes out of
My desperate troubles!

So! Come-and-get my bagels!
Hot bagels! Hot rolls!
My last few bagels
So! Come-and-buy my bagels!

Here I stand all-alone in the street
Soaked through by the rain
So! Come-and-buy my bagels
Night has fallen. There's no light left.

Here I stand thinking
What's gonna be?
There's nothing but pain at home
I'm so hungry, I'm about to faint

Dear folks, hear my song
I'm so hungry I'm about to faint
So! Come-and-buy my bagels
My last few bagels!
