brownie Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Ozone was one of Boris Rose's labels. The Basie big band listing for the broadcast from the Royal Roost is correct but it's Singleton Palmer on bass (not Wright). The Basie sextet lineup (for the last four tracks on side B) is: Clark Terry, Buck Clayton, Marshall Royal, Wardell Gray, Basie, Freddie Green, Jimmy Lewis, Gus Johnson. Broadcast from Birdland.

Big Beat Steve Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 According to the Basie chapter in Walter Bruyninckx' discography, the sextet tracks come from a broadcast on 28 April 1951. "The Golden Bullet" is announced incorrectly - it is actually "Bluebeard Blues". Buck Clayton is on Lady Be Good and Golden Bullet/Bluebeard Blues only. I have these tracks on Moon CD076-2 released under Wardell Gray's name (that also includes "Out of Nowhere" from the Tradewinds jam on 24 March 1952 that was mentioned here when you asked about the you asked about those "Jam Session" LP's.

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 did he press these as late as the 60s or are they all from the 50s? how long did his ad run in downbeat? did he pay someone to press them for him?

brownie Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 From what I remember, the Boris Rose labels date from the '70s! They were easily available for a couple of decades. I have with me the December 1988 issue of Cadence which lists quite a number of them. $5,50 a disc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
