This really makes me sad. I've been a 60 Minutes fan for 30 years, and I feel like I've lost an old friend. This is a biggie.

I always thought this looked like they were playing two jukeboxes!

This would be the Urania album? A typically fine session from the 1950's, not terribly rare. Try to avoid the stereo version, which is rechanneled.

I had the album years ago - didn't bother to keep it, even though the personnel is intriguing. Cromer is a deep-voiced balladeer a la Billy Eckstine & Arthur Prysock.

Mine arrived today!

Actually he's playing a Conn Multivider, a device similar to a Varitone, I guess. I have the album, and I shuddered when I read that he was playing the gizmo, but the electronics do not dominate. Frank's playing is as fluid and as inventive as ever, and the notes he's actually playing are way out in front of the tones produced by the Multivider - much of the time one doesn't even notice the added tones. Caveat - apparently the actual tape was rather short, so we are given full length and edited versions of two of the tunes in order to stretch the program. Still, it's new music from one of the greatest trombonists, so I welcome it, warts and all.

Not that I know of. I believe he had dropped off the music scene.

Great video! That looks like a young Eddie Condon second from right.

Boyd was living in the Boston area in the early 1980's. Don't know of his current whereabouts, or if he's still with us.

I heard from a reliable source that their European distributor recently went belly up owing the label a large amount of money. Whether they can survive this setback remains to be seen.
