I'd be interested to know why you think that. I'm still holding out hope that there was indeed a two-vocal performance from 1946 in Los Angeles, but the evidence remains vague. Looking again at the listings (in my opening post) from the two Billie Holiday discographies I found online, it seems clear that there were at least three (and possibly five) recordings of the tune by Billie in L.A. in 1946, with Armstrong's band (although one was just a duet with pianist Charlie Beal)...

Same here, and I remember having other e-mails ignored in years past. Probably, but you might have to try a couple of times. Their customer service has always been pretty weak (and slow).

Thanks brownie. As I expected, when I clicked on that link, I was taken (directly, in fact) to the IAJO homepage. I tried the "new releases" link, and got some sort of java memory error.

Thanks Lon. Wow, this just keeps getting wierder and wierder. Now I know why she's had so much trouble finding the right recording. If anybody knows of any (other) version(s) with both Billie and Louis singing, please post...

That clears something up that had always bothered me... it always sounded as though it was two performances crossfaded together. So now I know! ← I got the impression that Armstrong's vocals were only dubbed in on certain issues... which would suggest that it was only Billie who sang it at the concert. In other words, I really can't figure this out for certain: -Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans (la vcl,*) Swinghouse (E)SWH27 -Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans (bh vcl) V-Disc 760, Loco (F)ML21012, Swing House (E)SWH27, Lady Day Box (It)LDB03(bh only),JUTB (It)3036 [CD] Sound Hills (Jap)8005/16 [CD], Masters of Jazz (F)MJCD184 [CD] This suggests (to me) that Louis handled the vocal alone (as issued on Swinghouse); AND that Billie was the only real vocalist (with Louis dubbed in) on V-disc and Allied. Sorry, maybe it's just me, but I don't get it.

First of all, thanks to all for all of the posts so far. Despite all of the info given, I have to admit I'm still a bit in the dark, both in terms of whether each version actually included both Billie and Louis singing; as well as what in-print CD's this material can be found on. I listened to the sample at Amazon for the "New Orleans" soundtrack (posted by Jeffro), but the sample is fairly short, and there's no sign of Louis on the clip. The Lord listings confuse me a bit with regard to who's actually singing on what. The Lord listing for the 1946 version says "bh, vocal", so it isn't clear to me whether Louis sang on that track (although the listing at one of the discographies I posted specified two vocalists). The Carnegie Hall version would be icing on the cake, I suppose, as I think she had the studio version. I'll have to ask her again.

I'm looking for a little help from someone who might have covered this ground before. We recently had a visit from my niece, who is a fan of Billie Holiday. She mentioned to me that she once had an audio recording of Billie and Louis singing together on DYKWIMTMNO, but that it had gotten lost, and she's been unable to find another copy. She thought hers was released by an Italian label, and I believe she said it was a studio (not live) recording (I'm not sure about that). I tried some searches online, and found some info on a couple of sites, but I'm having trouble sorting it all out. Here's the data I found: First, from http://www.socc.ie/~billie/versions.htm: DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS? by Eddie DeLange / Loise Alter Date / Location / Personnel / Label-matrix # 11/09/46 1 Hal Roach Studios, Culver City, LA Charlie Beal (p) TMX27 ?? 11/09/46 2 Hal Roach Studios, Culver City, LA Louis Armstrong (t/v), Barney Bigard (cl), Kid Ory (tb), Charlie Beal (p), Bud Scott (g), Red Callender (b), Zutty Singleton (d) TMS ?? 08/10/46 1 Hal Roach Studios, Culver City, LA Louis Armstrong (t/v), Barney Bigard (cl), Kid Ory (tb), Charlie Beal (p), Bud Scott (g), Red Callender (b), Zutty Singleton (d) 08/02/47 1 Carnegie Hall, NY Louis Armstrong (t/v), Bobby Tucker (p), Elmer Warner (g), Arvell Shaw (b), Sid Catlett (d) JB359 ===== Next, from http://www.billieholiday.be/: Date Type Time Matrix Label Location Band/Occasion 11-sep-46 FILM 2'07'' - Kino Video (DVD), BHD-CD2 Los Angeles, Culver City, Hal Roach Studios New Orleans Film Pre-Production Recordings 11-sep-46 FILM 2'13'' TMX27 JUTB 3036 / GoJ GOJ1025 / LDBIt LDB03 (box LDB01/23) Los Angeles, Culver City, Hal Roach Studios New Orleans Film Pre-Production Recordings 11-sep-46 FILM 1'51'' TMX42 JUTB 3036 / GoJ GOJ1025 / LDBIt LDB03 (box LDB01/23) Los Angeles, Culver City, Hal Roach Studios Louis Armstrong and his Band 30-sep-46 FILM 3'32'' - Kino Video (DVD), BHD-CD2 Los Angeles, Culver City, Hal Roach Studios Louis Armstrong and his Band 30-sep-46 FILM 1'52'' TMX42 SagaE ERO8014 / MusiF 30CV1266 Los Angeles, Culver City, Hal Roach Studios Louis Armstrong and his Band 08-feb-47 LR 4'19'' - JUTB 3036 / V-Disc 760 New York City, Louis Armstrong All-Stars Carnegie Hall Concert Louis Armstrong and his Orchestra ===== As you can see, the dates conflict a bit. Some of this has been released on videos, but I'm more interested in figuring out how many versions there were with both Billie and Louis singing together, and what label(s) have released it on CD. Any help would be appreciated. Does anybody have this CD?: http://www.musicweb-international.com/jazz...rmstrong40s.htm

Over the past few years, some Google searches have led me to the site. Today, I was doing a search for info on a brazilian organist named Celso Murilo. Google provided this link: www.jwolf.com/iajo/iajo05/2003/newr0312.htm No matter what link I've used to access the site, I always get taken to the homepage (some kind of automatic override, I guess). From there, I've never been able to navigate at all. No links nor searches will take me to any pages I'm interested in. I also recall getting some sort of Java error message in the past. Is it just me, or do others have trouble using this site?

Yeah, as I said there were a few minor problems with iCab for me (since the switch to the new board software, that is). At least it got me here and allowed me to function, though. In fact, I'd still be using it if the switch to Mozilla hadn't worked out so well. Have you exhausted all the possibilities regarding an installation of Mozilla? Is there a version for 8.6 users? It sounded like perhaps there was some potential for you to get it installed (since the reported memory "problem" didn't really make sense to you)?

Makaya Ntshoko? (I just looked up the name, but don't have access to that video right now). Montmartre, 1969.

He looks very familiar. Is he a drummer? Is he on one of the Dexter videos from europe (w/Kenny Drew & NHOP)... the name is escaping me...
