  15. VIDEO: Miles w/Barney Wilen

    in Artists

    Posted

    Thanks Jim for relaying this. The video is the earliest filmed appearance by Miles. 

    It was directed for French TV by Jean-Christophe Averty on December 7, 1957 to be aired on Christmas Day. The video was lost after that. It was found very recently under à wrong label.

    Jimmy Giuffre appeared along with Billy Byers on trombone, Al Hall on bass, Jim Hall on guitar, Charles Persip on drums, Nick Perrito on accordion and Bob Castella on  piano when Montand sang in NY in  September 1959. The concerts were coproduced by Norman Granz. Not familiar with any official recording of these.

    Those French 'brown bag' single LPs came from the local distributors of the United Artists label which also handled BN at the time (late 70s). Among the BN records they released were Lee Morgan 'Candy', Erroll Garner 'Overture to Dawn'', Tal Farlow "Early Tal'.

    UA LPS included Duke's 'Money Jungle', Joe Pass 'For Django', Booker Little with Max Roach, Zoot and Al 'Jazz Alive', Warne Marsh 'Jazz of 2 Cities'  Bill Perkins with Richie Kamuca, among others.

    I would say - very roughly - one out of four images appear in those books. I should add that the new book is way better.

    My copy is the 2014 édition from Flammarion France. Beautiful book with fine prints. Printed in Slovénie. Very well researched.

    Have enjoyed it numerous times since it came out.

    One minor complaint: There is no photo from the Cannonball/Miles 'Somethin' Else' session.
