    Jim, I would like to discuss this with you some more. There is info I cannot post here. How can I reach you?

    There are photos from this gig showing Clifford though. Very odd...

    The Maynard is above as an example. There is a download for $5 button on the top right. Does that work for you?

    Turned out to be a browser issue - thanks for responding.

    Free to download - Ellington in Duluth 1946 - from broadcast acetates I found last summer.  Third is an interview with Duke and Strayhorn. Interesting snapshot of an average workday. 

     

    This is a nice find. Timner's Ellingtonia (5th ed.) shows nothing between June 8 and July 6, 1946. 

    Here is the personnel of Ellington's July 9, 1946 record date for reference:

    Taft Jordan, Shelton Hemphill, Cat Anderson, Francis Williams, Shorty Baker (tp),
    Ray Nance (tp, vln, vcl) Joe Nanton, Lawrence Brown, Claude Jones, Wilbur DeParis (tb), Jimmy Hamilton (cl, ts) Johnny Hodges (as) Russell Procope (as, cl) Al Sears (ts), Harry Carney (bar, b-cl, cl) Duke Ellington (p), Fred Guy (g), Oscar Pettiford (b), Sonny Greer (d), Kay Davis, Al Hibbler (vcl)

    The contents of the uploaded music files, each of which is about 15 1/2 minutes, appear to be the following :

    1. Take The “A” Train/Announcement/Take The “A” Train/Transblucency (kd vcl)/
        C Jam Blues/I’m Just A Lucky So-and-So (ah vcl)/Announcement/
        Riff Staccato (cut off)

    2. Riff Staccato (cut in)/Come Rain Or Come Shine (kd vcl)/Blue Skies/
        Things Ain’t What They Used To Be/Outro/Intro Of Interview/
        Start Of Interview    

    Thanks very much. Any other acetates lying around?

  17. Dexter-Dizzy encounter

    in Discography

    Posted

    Hello!

    I had the possibility to listen to a broadcast with Dexter , Dizzy , George Benson, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams all together on stage, doing fantastic versions of two extended tunes "I Remember April" and "Caravan".

    I have no idea when and were it was recorded. The only thing is I suppose it was in the late 70s, Dizzy still had great chops, Dexter is just Dexter the way I love him most, and the rhythm section is really cooking, sounds very exiting like those V.S.O.P concerts.

    I think that was one of those very rare moments when a "dreamband" was put together, I don´t know whether it was planned or just happened. Couldn´t find discographical sources or informations, I just suppose it might have been somehow around 1978, deducing from the way they played.

  22. The Frank Kuchirchuk Collection of Jazz Photography

    in Miscellaneous Music

    Posted

    I didn't... but I saw a photo of Benny Harris with Bird!

    Benny Harris in one Bird photo; Roy Haynes in the other. Ken Vail's Bird's Diary says that Bird, Harris, Haynes, Walter Bishop Jr., and Teddy Kotick toured in 1951, including gigs at Lindsay's in Cleveland, where the photos were taken. The photo exhibit says that all the shots were taken in 1952 or 1953; maybe the photographer's recollection is mistaken or the group also worked in 1952.

  23. Vic Dickenson photos/memorabilia found on Ebay

    in Artists

    Posted

    Looks like someone got hold of Vic Dickenson's photo album/scrapbook and is auctioning the items on Ebay. Some of the photos may present a challenge in identifying the other participants.

    The items are located in "Entertainment Memorabilia" and most will appear on an Ebay search for "Vic Dickerson" (misspelling appears in most of the listings).

    I'm not the seller nor am I affiliated with the seller.
