sgcim Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Walt Namuth was a great guitarist. Are there any recordings of him available other than the Buddy Rich and Lou Rawls stuff? Is this Left Bank recording going to be available to the general public? If so, how would you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I think you can get it through the Baltimore Jazz Alliance. There is a recording of Namuth at Newport with Ethel Ennis on Wolfgang's vault, but I don't think he solos. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 You can buy the CD on cdbaby.com http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/walternamuthquintetfeatm Thanks for this, KH, I snoozed on the Kickstarter but now I want to listen to the clips and at least do a FLAC download. Interesting notes - it says that everything was recorded on reel-to-reel? I could have sworn hearing that when Dorn got the tapes they were all original and on cassette. Is it really too much to hope that this could be an ongoing Kickstarter project to get these tapes out? Or was it easier to do since this was a local band made up of folks with little national reputation at the time, and getting the Patton/Green recording or Mobley/Coles would be too difficult due to estate issues?

I thought the real issue was that a lot of the tapes had deteriorated to the point they were no longer usable. I assumed this meant the ones with GG and Patton and Mobley etc, al.

mjzee Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Listening to this now. Mickey Fields takes a heckuva solo on Stablemates, really builds momentum while never sacrificing coherency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 hey MG, whats that left bank lp u mention w/ groove, is that a major label release of some sort or a private press thing, or somethin. It's on the Edmar label, a small indie label that started in Bermuda (I have a calypso LP from '63 - Edmar 1020 - on that label with a Bermuda address) then moved to NJ. The Fields/Holmes LP which must be 67/68 is Edmar 1075, so a fair number of LPs came out in 5 years. The firm might have been owned by Eddie DeMello, who produced and wrote the sleeve for the calypso album. He was sufficiently well connected to get Michael Cuscuna (who worked for WXPN-FM, in Philly) to write the notes for the Fields LP, but what the other material on the label was I've no notion.

Dan Gould Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Looks like it was up on Ebay in June and didn't even get a bid: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200930069928&item=200930069928&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466 And here's one track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6s2IrXiJdc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I got an email tonight: they've finally prepared the liner notes! They sent a link to download them (11 pages). Interesting stuff, including a history of Mickey Fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Regarding the Mickey Fields record on Edmar - who is the composer of Left Bank Cookout? I assume Little Green Apples is the tune by Bobby Russell. I saw a site that offers a download. I usually avoid those. Is it safe to do so or is Putin trying to hack into my PC by offering free Left Bank downloads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing's for sure, that'd be the best way to target you specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
