Pete C Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I love his version of Twilight Time. The tune has a special place in my heart since it was written by a family member (Al Nevins, of The Three Suns). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 My pick is: Roy Eldridge - Heckler's Hop - Hep This cd includes material when Roy was with Gene Krupa's band, Chu Berry's group and tracks under his own name. The 22 tracks all date between 1936 and 1939. Excellent choice! Chu and Roy's version of "Body And Soul" from November 1938 was THE version until THE ULTIMATE version was recorded some months later.

Pete C Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 For late Roy I also like the duo session on Pablo with Oscar Peterson. In fact, though I'm not a big Peterson fan, most of those duos with trumpeters are quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 The sides that Roy Eldridge recorded in Paris for the Vogue label in 1950 & '51 are generally overlooked but shouldn't be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 it will be interesting to see if he's enough of a 'name'. in this day and age, to really draw any monied interest. I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasimado Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 it will be interesting to see if he's enough of a 'name'. in this day and age, to really draw any monied interest. I doubt it. Agreed ... yet, just listening to Roy with Chu ... what intensity, what creativity! Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Friedman Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 The key here is that Roy made so many wonderful recordings. Trying to identify one or even two favorites is, for me, an impossible task. I am pleased that we have so many of Roy's recordings available for us to enjoy.

gmonahan Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I hope the material goes to someplace like the Jazz Institute at Rutgers, so it can be properly catalogued and made available to scholars. gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
