MGC 1069 1F Perdido (EF-vcl) Clef / Mer MG Vol. 15 – Pt.

The on-stage chatter and instructions with Norman Granz and various musicians plus the playing of the National Anthem, as noted, are previously unreleased and are heard at the end of Disc II. ________________________________________________________________________ (I) NORMAN GRANZ’ JAZZ AT THE PHILHARMONIC: Roy Eldridge, Charlie Shavers (tp), Bill Harris (tb), Benny Carter, Willie Smith (as), Flip Phillips, Ben Webster (ts), Oscar Peterson (p), Herb Ellis (el-g), Ray Brown (b), J.C.

Heard (d). same concert as (I). Vol-16-Side-5 One O’ Clock Jump Clef MG Vol. 16 – Part V Note: Some discographies add Gene Krupa to One O’Clock Jump. At about 0:10 into this track, there is a rough edit and what sounds like Ella Ftizgerald’s voice. It is very possible that this is another one of the edits Norman Granz had to perform since Fitzgerald still was under a contractual obligation to Decca Records. ________________________________________________________________________ (M) GENE KRUPA TRIO: Benny Carter (as), Oscar Peterson (p), Gene Krupa (d). same concert as (I).

I suppose that most of my comments are on posts in the listening thread as I was listening. I really like this set. The mastering is excellent. I'm a big fan of this period of jazz and there are great performances.

November 2 Kurt Elling - 1967

I'm sorry Peter, My fault. I did not express specifically what I meant by "roller-rink" organists. On Quebec's 45 sessions, it does have that hoaky "roller-rink" organ sound, but by no means, did I mean to include, group, catergorize or generalize other organists within that genre, such as Larry Young, Lonnie Smith, or John Patton, who don't sound roller-rink hoaky whatsoever! Just Edwin Swanston, Sir Charles Thompson, and Earl Van Dyke do! Hope that clarifies my postion more. HG Wow, something hooky-dinky going on here, thought I already posted this post. Anyway, I also believe Freddie Roach's sound is a little rolly-rinky as I juxtapose Freddie's sound to Larry Young's. Wow, what a contrast!

Rip! He was a great bass player

This set is currently on Last Chance, due to the license having expired.

Not much discussion about this one since its release. Hardly any at all, actually... Now that it's on Last Chance, I'm trying to decide if it's something I need. Any thoughts from those who have the set? (It's also on sale right now, for those who are wanting to pick it up before it's gone...)
