Nice clip! But who's that on piano? (Listed as Lou Levy, but looks like Pete Jolly to me.) No idea who the bassist is. Nice clip indeed, but a couple of things strike me as odd here. Did anybody notice that Carrington herself was the person who provided the video? I find it a little strange that no credit was given to Jolly or Magnusson, and that Levy's name is listed in the tags. Levy spent a lot of time with Getz of course, but... Even if someone else uploaded and tagged this for her, this (and in a way, the "Terri Lyne Carrington with Stan Getz" title) just strikes me as somewhat less than respectful. Apologies in advance if I'm misunderstanding anything.

NEVER underestimate what can he had at Youtube. Thanks for asking, btw. I'd never seen this (Barney Kessel & Jimmy Smith... never even heard about it). Anybody know who the drummer was? ----- Edit: That person uploaded a TON of "Hollywood Palace" shows. I've seen a few over the last couple of years on Youtube, but I didn't realize how many there were... DentelTV2's Channel

Looks like most of the old image links above have died, so...

The bassist was Johnny Miller. Listening to "The Way I Feel" (the RC Proper box), it's clear that RC also emulated Charles Brown's sound on certain recordings. On the 1950 tracks with Oscar Moore, he emulates both Cole's sound ("I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now?", "All To Myself Alone") as well as Brown's ("Lonely Boy", "Baby, Let Me Hold Your Hand"). The other thing that jumps out at me... Oscar Moore had a lot more going on than the guitar players he had recorded with before that. I love the Three Blazers, btw. Some of my favorite music, period.

This was released on both LP and on CD. This was not an original score, but a collection of standards arranged/played by pianist Dick Hyman.

If you can't stand Chet's singing, I understand. It's okay with me. If you like it, or if you're not sure, listen to this relatively obscure little gem recorded live in Italy in the 70's with Jacques Pelzer (fl),Harold Danko (p) and Isla Eckinger (b)... Deep In A Dream, circa 1976

Hopefully that'll wash off. I love the chair, though (we have one with dark brown leather, which is where I'd probably be parked right now if I had a laptop).

I just stumbled onto this, and I couldn't remember if I used this particular image in this thread. I can't tell, because a couple of the old links above no longer work. Anyway, tell me it wasn't Ken Peplowski who played Barney Miller (and Hal Linden plays the clarinet?!?). I guess I'll never get over this...

Thanks for that, mbl. It's a little disappointing, but not terribly surprising. I actually would have been very surprised if tape still existed, had it been recorded. Too bad VCR's weren't quite around in large numbers at the time. This general topic always reminds me of similar programming we had out here on KQED (SF) in the early 70's, which I would have recorded without a second thought if I'd had a VCR. I still remember a show (although I've forgotten the name) similar in concept to "Mixed Bag", where I saw studio performances by Freddy King, Chick Corea, Santana, and others. At some point, I even tried pulling out a portable audio cassette recorder and an external mic. That usually went pretty well... until somebody opened the garage door, or turned on a vacuum cleaner, or if the dog got excited about something.

Darn... I thought this thread might go on for awhile yet.

Wow, I don't remember ever seeing this thread. I notice it dates to the day Jim joined/started the board... was this thread #1? Anyway, I guess I wasn't the only one... only 17 posts before it disappeared. I know we've had a lot of threads about J.S. since (particularly around the time he passed), but what the hell...

I figured as much, otherwise you wouldn't see so many of the winners waving around a stack of hundreds when they get out on the sidewalk. We've been fans for quite awhile. I think Ben Bailey is pretty funny. The thing that's always kind of puzzled me about the show is the relatively low reward (the most cash anybody has ever won is something like $2800), considering the difficulty of a lot of the questions. A lot of them are pretty tough, imo. Then there's the fact that so many people forget to use their "shout-outs". ... and the Cash Cab rolls on...

I googled "Mixed Bag" WGBH, and found a link to this resume webpage of producer/director named David Atwood, who apparently was involved in working on the show. He lists "Mixed Bag" and "Jazz" separately, fwiw. There's an e-mail address there if anybody wants to contact him. When looking at this list, and including those I mentioned above as being documented in the Tanner book as having performed at WGBH (Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Larry Coryell), it still strikes me that a Grant Green video is a relatively rare thing. Of course, most of those artists lived longer than Green, but even Wes had a few sessions captured on tape before his early passing (Grant's popularity didn't really take off until after his death, unfortunately).

I could have sworn that this subject had been brought up here before. It may be buried in another thread topic, but I'm sure I posted something pertaining to the multiple photos in Tanner's "Images Of Jazz" which were taken at WGBH-TV (others included Wes, George Benson, Larry Coryell). Considering the scarcity of Green footage, I can see how his would be a priority. At any rate, it's nice to hear that the tape has supposedly survived. I would have thought otherwise, considering how often tape was re-used back in the day.

Lon, you have definitely caught the bug! That's a great looking Jazzmaster... pretty sunburst.

I just posted a link to this yesterday in a thread ("Holiday bios") from March, 2003, but I really feel like this deserves it's own thread. I was somewhat surprised that I found no real discussion of this book when I tried a search, and the fact that it hardly seems to have been mentioned here since the early days of this board was even more surprising. Donald Clarke is an extremely talented and intelligent writer, and this particular work (which is available to be read online, and has been for several years) is very impressive in both its scope and consistent level of meaningful insight. I'm not exactly a voracious reader, and I'll admit I have not yet read the entire thing. Nonetheless, what I have read has impressed me, and I wanted to recommend it both for its quality and its potential as a discussion topic. Here is a link to Clark's home page, where you will find links to this as well as other books by him: Donald Clarke's Music Box
