duaneiac Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Surely he must have. I mean his manager was his former bass player,John Levy, an African-American. But even at the time the photo was staged and taken, didn't some one even stop to say, "Uhhh, guys, what's the deal here?" And what was the deal? Surely people who were fans of George Shearing would have known by 1959 that he led an integrated band. I doubt they would have had a problem with a photo clearly showing all the band members. Was the record company concerned that a still significant number of record stores in --ahem -- certain markets would decline to display an album clearly showing a racially integrated band?

duaneiac Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021  Disc 1 of 2. Various radio broadcast performances literally from coast to coast -- from the Hollywood Palladium (all of Disc 1) to the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 8 minutes ago, Referentzhunter said: Those two early Kenny Burrell albums for BN are wonderful. I heard Kenny Burrells guitar first on Paul Chamber´s "Whims of Chambers" and fell in love with it. 1956 must have been a wonderful year for Kenny Burrell, he recorded his first two albums for BN and played on others like for example Kenny Dorham´s live at Bohemia.

At a Shearing concert I attended in the 1960s he tackled this question, saying with a very dirty laugh that he chose the models for his covers himself.

Dub Modal Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Been streaming the Blue Mitchell Blue Note records: The Thing to Do, Step Lightly, Down With It! & Boss Horn. Favorites of this group are Down & Boss. Boss benefits from Duke Pearson arrangements, which I really enjoy. Love coming across those on those Mobley records as well. Pearson was a talented dude... Also, I love Junior Cook's playing. Sue me.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
