marcello Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I wish that they just showed the photos in entirety, instead of the camera pans. I liked the photo of Dizzy with the beret over the bell of his trumpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Weiss Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) Did I see a photo of Fats Navarro playing with Bird? Edited August 26, 2010 by Michael Weiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I didn't... but I saw a photo of Benny Harris with Bird! This Collection looks like a treasure which I hope we will be able to get a close look at very soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay2b2 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 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.

brownie Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Benny Harris was still with Bird at the start of 1952 and appears on the January 28 recording session that gave us 'La Cucaracha' and 'Begin the Beguine' and other tunes. The Vail book mentions several visits by the Bird-Benny Harris quintet through 1951. But as good as Vail's 'Bird Diary' is, it is not complete!

sheldonm Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I photographed the new music building dedication including performances by Bill Cosby, Stevie Wonder, lots of Oberlin alumni including James McBride, Marcus Belgrave, Gary Bartz, Robin Eubanks, Stanley Cowell and others for Downbeat. Sadly Wendell Logan, the man that started the school decades ago passed away just a couple months after the ribbon cutting. On the bright side; my good friend and founder/owner of beehive records donated his massive collection to the university. Having seen much of it; they should be happy to have it. Regarding the exhibit by Kuchirchuk; it was very nice. About a dozen or so very nice images...most of them shot at one Cleveland jazz club....nice stuff. m~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 don't really know where else to post this, trumpeter Al Porcino also has a nice collection of photos on his homepage including some truly great ones such as Miles Davis dancing the jitterbug, or the one of the Porcinos with Tiny Kahn and Frank Rosolino...

brownie Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Niko! Many thanks for pointing us to that Al Porcino site. Lots of very interesting photos there. Wish a Will Savory recorded that Georgie Auld band Georgie Auld Band, Gerry Mulligan, Earl Swodie (most probably Swope!), Kenny Dorham, Apollo Theatre, N.Y., 1950 Was not even aware that there was a Georgie Auld band like that!
