Right, Denis was out there way before 1962. So the question is when did Frank/Huss start becoming active? A few weeks ago we were thinking late 60s, but now he goes back to 1962.
I see both Dennis (sic) Charles and Frank Charles playing percussion on a couple of 1962 RCA Sonny Rollins dates, the ones for the What's New record. Were the brothers on the scene that early?
I guess we will find out on record store day. If Zev has an event at Joe's Record Paradise, I will try to go and ask what's up.
Trumpeter Fabien Mary did a great tribute to KD tonight at Sunside in Paris.
I found an album cover online for a Denis date that Huss is on. They are not pure lookalikes. I thought Huss was Larry Willis at first. Of course, this was way later than 1967.
I think I have the thing floating around and I think it does have fewer tracks.
It is possible that the liner notes will explain how Denis Charles was identified. The answer could simply be that there are photos from the date.
I am curious about the Fathead Newman date. It could have been a 2-CD set.
