  1. Looks interesting. This is the one I know:
  2. Yes, this is more the style. The other would be OK for Jazz Masters of the 70s perhaps.
  3. King Kolax King C Gillette Brian Blade
  4. Ah, yes, I recall the name Lazy Ade.
  5. Thumbelina Sasha Berliner Paris Hilton
  6. Byron Landham Eubie Blake Coleridge Goode
  7. Yes, the Free Trade Hall in Manchester was very keen on big bands in that era. It was there that I saw Ellington, Basie, Lionel Hampton and Woody Herman, not to mention more modern outfits like Gil Evans, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis and Clarke Boland.
  8. Although Eldridge was a star, along with Anita O'Day, in the Gene Krupa Orchestra in the 40s and was still working for Norman Granz in the 70s, my favourite Eldridge period is the 50s when he can be heard in a variety of contexts, for example:
  9. Sir Jonathan Gasser Electric Light Orchestra Elsie and Doris Waters
  10. Coco Chanel T. Rex
  11. Minnie Driver Herdmen Four Brothers
  12. Chuck Berry The Bury Jazz Society The Idle Working Men's Club
  13. e e cummings Dee Dee Bridgewater Gigi
