bertrand Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 There are two Tommy Potter CDs out there courtesy of our Andorran friends: Hard Funk and Hard Funk in Sweden. Does Freddie Redd appear on all tracks on both CDs? There is some overlap. Thanks, Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 I have the CD with both sessions, one is a studio date, and the other one is live. Sorry to say right now I have most stuff sealed cause I move upstairs and have to wait to check out who´s on it, but if I remember well it´s the same group. They toured Sweden during that time, late 50´s I think 1958. The great swedish trumpet player Ericson is on it. I think it´s the only record of Tommy Potter under his own name. And quite late in his career, but he also did some tour dates with Bird-Memory groups feat. Howard McGhee, Sonny Stitt and sometimes J.J. Johnson plus Walter Bishop and Kenny Clark in the mid/late 60´s, also can be seen on a video tape of one concert. I always liked his bass playing. And on the rare occasions when he did a solo, it´s really fine. What really knocked me out is Tommy Potter´s ballad feature "Talk of the Town" on a ballad medley Bird,Dorham from "Bird at Cafe Society.......
