Raoul Duke Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've been enjoying Hank Mobley's performance with the Wynton Kelly trio at the Famous Ballroom in Baltimore recently and was wondering what other live material is available (particularly from the mid to late 60s)? Thanks in advance. Yoroshiku. Anthony. p.s.Can the Downbeat article discussed in this thread be found anywhere else online? I would very much like to read it, and indeed anything else on Hank you can recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 There is in circulation among collectors about two and a half hours of quartet recordings from Denmark, 1968 with Kenny Drew and Tootie Heath in the quartet. There's also a German broadcast tape going around of about thirty mintutes duration of a quintet with Johnny Griffin. I think that's all I know of.

The other musicians are Bora Rokovic, Jimmy Woode and Kenny Clare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raoul Duke Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 (edited) two and a half hours of quartet recordings from Denmark, 1968 with Kenny Drew and Tootie Heath← German broadcast tape...of a quintet with Johnny Griffin← Both of these sound very interesting, particularly the material with Kenny Drew. Are they readily available? How would I go about acquiring them? Thanks, Anthony. Edited August 22, 2005 by Raoul Duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Not quite the mid/late 60's timeframe you prefer, but don't forget the live recordings with Miles - At Carnegie Hall & the Blackhawk dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I heard from somebody at the old Label M that there "existed" more tapes of Hank at the Left Bank, and that they were being "considered" for issue. Exactly what all that really meant, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akanalog Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 the stuff from 68 with kenny drew et al. is of terrible sound quality. i think tootie heath is on drums? but it almost isn't worth acquiring because of the horrid sound.

Raoul, this material is not officially commercially available and has only been circulated among collectors for the most part (though some of it seems to be from vinyl sources (?). . . . To follow rules of the board, one would have to use Private Messaging or email to work out obtaining copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
