mjzee Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Doing some poking around on the Net, looking for info on the Lester Young Pablo "In Washington D.C. 1956" 5-disc series, I found this great article focusing on Bill Potts reminiscing about Lester, The Orchestra, and his Porgy and Bess album: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/news/article/13027274/swing-or-ill-kill-you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nelson Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Above link is the best explanation and backstory of Bill Potts and his legendary 'Porgy and Bess' recording sessions of Jan. 13, 14, 15 of 1959 at Webster Hall. The 1991 CD on Blue Note/Capitol could only be culled* from the best vinyl copies since the master tapes had been lost. * by Cuscuna, Addey, and McMaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
