Dan Gould Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 So I am browsing thru youtube and come upon this What's this? Bubba Brooks in a trad jazz group? And sounding very fine ... google found me this on cornetist Ed Polcer's web page but damn if I can find any other mention of this thing. So I figured I'd post here ...

lipi Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) I assume you've found this already, but just in case: http://www.sidneybechet.org/past-concerts/musicians-list/ Edit to add: the video you linked is an excerpt from this documentary on the recording of the society's first (and only) CD in 1999. Excerpt starts at 7:00. Edited March 5, 2019 by lipi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excerpt starts at 7:00. Yes found the society website and sent an email inquiring about the CD. No response yet. Thanks for finding the documentary I hope there's more complete performances by Bubba. 9 hours ago, JSngry said: That Bubba Brooks guy can play. Damn straight and no R&B licks in sight. I really really want to hear this whole session .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Excitement: got an email from someone at the organization. They only made 100 copies he says but he'll look and see if any are still around. If I want a copy I might have to haunt estate sales of members in the NYC environs which would be really inconvenient with me living in Florida. Told him if there are no copies left but he knows anyone with a copy ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Really exciting: The guy at the organization says he digitized the CD and should be able to provide a copy if he can't find a new one. And they recorded their shows and he thinks that Bubba played twice for them and he should be able to find those too. I think he just got a donation to his fine organization.

lipi Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Awesome! I have a copy of the commercial CD with some of the 1999 material, also worth picking up if you're into this stuff (but Bubba is not on there). You caused me to listen to it again yesterday. Now I'm tempted to go looking for that other CD, too! https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-sidney-bechet-society-jam-session-concert-mw0000016359/credits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they did 100 copies and via CDR/label software not professional burning house. I wish this guy wasn't taking at trip right now, I want to find out just what he's got not sit around waiting to hear from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
