  1. Have several of those Norman Granz' 'Jam Sessions' - all excellent and swinging jazz. A total of 9 volumes were produced
  2. At the moment he is the "leading" bandleader for the WDR big band here in Cologne (Germany). The WDR big band is direceted by different personalities during the times and has no constant leader. One of them in the 1980s was Bill Holman, another one Bill Dobbins.
  3. Just in from the Netherlands Netherlands Jazz Archief NJA 1604 - Hank Mobley " Hank Mobley In Holland" - rec. 1968

  7. When I started collecting jazz I did concentrate the first years more on big bands so I have also some Dizzy big bands together. If you are interested a bit more I can list them FYI or select the earlier ones. On the one Newport live album he has a terrific and humourful presentation for the bariton sax in the band. Its really a highlight and typical Gillespie. Also his singing on one more track is great. You should not miss it. Capitol [Japan] ECJ-50070 - Art Pepper - " Those Kenton Days" [compilation]- rec. 1953 to 1951
