Azure-Te (Paris Blues) is a blues ballad written in 1952 by lyricist Donald E. Wolf for a Wild Bill Davis tune that reached number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in September 1952 when covered by Frank Sinatra.[1]

The first release was by Louis Jordan's band, subsequent covers having been made by Nat King Cole with George Shearing, John Pizzarelli and others, and the Davis instrumental was also covered both in the 1950's and recently.[2]

Composition and recording

Music publisher Gale and Gayles had song-writer Donald E. Wolf write lyrics for the Wild Bill Davis instrumental composition Azure 'Te, released 29 February 1952, when they took on the tune from Crestwood Music.[3]

The Frank Sinatra recording was made for Columbia on 3 June 1952 in Hollywood, in the same session as "The Birth of the Blues", "Bim Bam Baby", and two other songs. It was conducted by Axel Stordahl.

The personnel included:[4]

The song was released on 23 July 1952 with "Bim Bam Baby" on the reverse.[5]

Composer Don Wolf

Donald Wolf, also known as Donald E. Wolf and Don Wolf is an jazz and pop lyricist and composer credited on over 300 recordings,[6] including a number of top 100 charting songs, mainly in the US though with some success in the UK, including Love Is All We Need, which peaked at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958 for Tommy Edwards,[7]

An ex-GI,[8] Wolf started working as an administrative assistant at WMCA in 1949,[9] moving on to supervise the pop music department at Merrymount Music Press in the 1950's,[10] a music publisher in New York[11] whose catalog was acquired initially by Mercury Music Corporation, and eventually by Theodore Presser.[12] He married Nancy Cook, an executive at Macy's, on February 14, 1960.[13]

Wolf's other lyrics include:

A few of his songs have appeared in film, such as Now He Tells Me, performed by the King Cole Trio in the 1948 film Killer Diller,[27], Sleep Walk, set to the Santo & Johnny instrumental Sleep Walk used in the 2013 film The Conjuring.[28]. Also the title songs of 1964 film Fate Is the Hunter, in collaboration with Jerry Goldsmith,[29] and the 1965 film John Goldfarb, Please Come Home! sung by Shirley MacLaine.[30]

Reception

Billboard described the song as a "bluesy ballad", and found Stordahl's arrangement to be "outstanding" - however their verdict on Sinatra's vocals was that he was "not up to his best".[31] Despite this, the song reached #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 27 September of 1952.[1][32] Others have described the recording as "lovely",[33] and "riveting".[34] According to producer Mitch Miller, Columbia Records hoped for a profitable release to make up for a sizeable advance payment to Sinatra (for a tax bill), but despite the quality of Azure Te and his other songs, they did not sell well at the time.[35]

To evoke a Parisian feeling the arrangement uses a taxi horn rendering of a motif from Gershwin's American in Paris, and contrasts that with loud brass to invoke American swing, according to author Will Friedwald. Of Sinatra's ability to sing blues, he says Sinatra "does better with "Paris Blues"... than he does with "The Birth of the Blues".[35]

Name

The name Azure 'Te was first used on the original instrumental tune released by the Bill Davis Trio in March 1952.[36] The subtitle Paris Blues first appeared a month after Bill Davis's instrumental on the B-side of the Tympany Five single Junco Partner, spelled Azure-Té (Paris Blues), which was the first recording of the tune to have Donald Wolf's lyrics. Frank Sinatra's subsequent cover of the song omitted the accent.

"Azure-Té" is not French and its meaning was unknown according to jazz critic Dave Gelly, who proposed that it be a mis-spelling of the French 'agité', meaning nervous, restless, agitated..[37]

Other versions

Wild Bill Davis is also heard on at least two other versions of the tune, including the Duke Ellington 70th Birthday Concert and the 1961 small group date Blue Hodge led by Ellington saxophonist Johnny Hodges.

The Tympany Five recording of April 1952, with Wolf's lyrics, was described as a "slow and sophisticated song", and the "best tune of the batch" in John Chilton's 1994 biography of band founder Louis Jordan.[38]

Several other artists have recorded the tune, including Nat King Cole accompanied by George Shearing, having a "haunted beauty" for one reviewer,[39] Kenny Burrell's unpretentious version based on a blues swing,[40] and Karrin Allyson who named her third album after her version of the song.[41] Other covers have been instrumentals, as was the original Bill Davis Trio release.[2]

It was also featured in Five Guys Named Moe, a long-running Olivier Award-winning musical.[42]
