BillF Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Many years ago I saw this documentary film about expatriate American jazz musicians in Europe. I remember brilliant playing by Phil Woods. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3492952/ 6 hours ago, Hardbopjazz said: Impulse put out two LP's titles Americans in Europe. Pleased the album includes a bluesman. Two blues expatriates I met in the 70s were Champion Jack (in Manchester) and Memphis Slim (in Paris).

Very nice done. It was produced by Joachim Ernst Behrend, since he had promised Oscar Pettiford that he will do it, gather as many Americans in Europe as possible. Too bad that Oscar Pettiford had died before it came true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he signed an album for me and Ed Dipple, Champion Jack said, "That's a good one. I made that in Germany". Of course, the expat thing was very good news for me. Those I saw included: Lucky Thompson Dexter Gordon Johnny Griffin Ben Webster Don Byas Jimmy Woode Kenny Clarke Philly Joe Benny Bailey Phil Woods Edited September 7, 2019 by BillF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
