I unironically enjoy this music.

[lupinus-bicolor]

was in the mood for some theremin music. Ended up digging up this absolute gem of an album from 1958

Obit of the Day: From Big Bands to Beach Boys

The famed big band leader Glenn Miller found trombonist Paul Tanner in a strip club. Tanner, who was one of five brothers who played various instruments, was signed by Miller and played with Miller's famed Orchestra from 1938 until 1942.

Tanner would eventually end up teaching jazz classes at UCLA where over 1600 students per week would fight to get into his lectures. He even wrote the definitive textbook, A Study of Jazz, which is still used today.

One of Tanner's outside interests was electronic music, specifically the theremin. Tanner worked to create a version that would be played more like a keyboard. His new instrument is alternatively called the electrotheremin or the Tannerin. It is most famously featured on The Beach Boys 1966 #1 hit, "Good Vibrations," played by a 48-year-old Tanner.

Paul Tanner died on February 5, 2013 at the age of 95.

Aria For Trombone (and Band) - Paul Tanner

Y aquí tenemos a The Beach Boys y su Good vibrations. Si no me equivoco, es el propio Paul Tanner el que ejecuta el tannerín.
