James Hal Kemp (March 27, 1904 – December 21, 1940) was a jazz alto saxophonist, clarinetist, bandleader, composer, and arranger. He was born in Marion, Alabama, and died in Madera, California, following an auto accident. At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill he formed his own campus jazz group, the Carolina Club Orchestra. The band recorded for English Columbia and Perfect/Pathé Records in 1924-5. This first group toured Europe in the summer of 1924 under the sponsorship of popular bandleader Paul Specht. Kemp returned to UNC in 1925 and put together a new edition of the Carolina Club Orchestra, featuring classmates and future stars John Scott Trotter, Saxie Dowell, and Skinnay Ennis. Hal's band was based in New York City, and included Trotter, Dowell, and Ennis and a few years later trumpeters Bunny Berigan and Jack Purvis joined the group. Members during the the 1929 recordings included Mickey Bloom - 1st trumpet / Bob Mayhew - cornet / Wendell "Gus" Mayhew - trombone / Joe Gillespie - alto sax / Ben Williams - alto sax, baritone sax / Saxie Dowell - tenor sax, clarinet / Bromo Sulser - violin / John Scott Trotter - piano, arranger / Dick McDonough - banjo and guitar / Paul Weston - brass bass / Skinny Ennis - drums / vocals The sound was 1920s collegiate jazz. Kemp once again toured Europe in the summer of 1930. His band recorded regularly for Brunswick, English Duophone, Okeh and Melotone Records. In 1932, during the height of the Depression, Kemp decided to lead the band in a new direction,. He changed the orchestra's style to that of a dance band (often mistakenly referred to as "sweet"), using muted triple-tonguing trumpets, clarinets playing low sustained notes in unison through large megaphones (an early version of the echo chamber effect), and a double-octave piano. The saxes often played very complex extremely difficult passages, which won them the praise of fellow musicians. On December 19, 1940, while driving from Los Angeles to a booking in San Francisco, his car collided head-on with a truck. Kemp broke a leg and several ribs, one of which punctured a lung. He developed pneumonia while in the hospital and died two days later. All recordings have been digitally restored by Vintage Recordings.
