birdanddizzy Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I have this very rare EP of Kenny Clarke, missing from the discographies (Métropole [FR] 46001) . Is there someone here who could give me the date of recording (Paris, 1959 or 1960) and the date of release ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdanddizzy Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Here is the back cover : Personnel : Eric Dixon (fl), Elek Bacsik [as Al Back (vn) and Alexis Backsix (gt)], Art Simmons (pn), Pierre Michelot (sb), Kenny Clarke (dm), Humberto [Canto Morales] (bongos and/or conga), Andy [bey] and the Bey Sisters (vc).

Chuck Nessa Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Andy and the Bey Sisters recorded for Fontana in Paris on April 15, 1959. Clarke played on that date as did Kenny Dorham and Barney Wilen. I'd guess the Metropole date was done around the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Mike Hennessey's book doesn't list that either - this info should be forwarded to him! I guess Chuck's pretty right with his assumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdanddizzy Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Mike Hennessey's book doesn't list that either - this info should be forwarded to him! I contacted Mike a few months ago. Dr Michael Frohne listed the recordings of Kenny Clarke (it represents >250 pages) ; his very exhaustive discography of Kenny Clarke is joined to the German reedition of the book "Klook" (on a CD-Rom). He didn't knew the existence of this EP ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdanddizzy Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) Maybe you could contact Andy himself. http://www.andy-bey.com/ I tried to contact him with no success. He comes to Paris once a year so I'll try to meet him next time. I also contacted the pianist of this session : Art Simmons.
