yes, yes, yes, another unreleased release by tcb records: N.K. COLE - Q. JONES BIG BAND - LIVE IN ZURICH 196 Reference: TCB-135960 As a singer, Nat ‘King’ Cole had a voice that enthralled audiences around the world for more than two decades and earned him success in the pop charts with a string of hit singles and albums on Capitol Records. What has remained underappreciated though, certainly among popular music fans, is that Nat was also an incredible jazz musician. His dexterity at the piano put him at the top of the critics’ and readers’ polls of magazines such as DownBeat who inducted him, posthumously, into the DownBeat Hall of Fame. Nat’s incredible phrasing, timing and perfect pitch, were the very cornerstones of a vocal style born out of his prowess as a jazz musician. On this rare and recently discovered concert recording from the archives of Swiss Radio, the balance between Nat’s pop and jazz output can be said to have been redressed. Jazz fans aplenty will be enthralled to hear the generous portions of Nat’s piano playing, and then equally enthralled by the added bonus of an all-star Quincy Jones Big Band in attendance. Whether in full-flight with the big band hanging on his coattails or in the intimacy of his trio, the performances captured on this CD are absolute treasures to be heard and appreciated, time and time again. PERSONNEL: NAT KING COLE, piano & voice BENNY BAILEY, ROGER GUÉRIN LENNY JOHNSON & FLOYD STANDIFER, trumpet JIMMY CLEVELAND, AKE PERSSON, MELBA LISTON & QUENTIN JACKSON, trombones JULIUS WATKINS, french horn PHIL WOODS, PORTER KILBERT BUDD JOHNSON, JEROME RICHARDSON & SAHIB SHIHAB, saxes PATTI BROWN, piano BUDDY CATLETT, bass JOE HARRIS, drums Kongresshaus Zürich, May 1, 1960 TRACKS: 01 Quincy Jones announcement 02 Moanin 03 The Midnight Sun Will Never Set 04 Airmail Special 05 Unforgettable 06 Madrid 07 Tea For Two 08 Laura 09 On The Sunny Side Of The Street 10 The Phantom Blues 11 Lester Leaps In 12 Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup 13 It’s Only A Paper Moon 14 Sweet Lorraine 15 Route 66 16 Joe Turner Blues 17 Interview Nat ‘King’ Cole-Lance Tschannen keep boppin´ marcel

Just to round off things, this is the cover of the German pressing of J-703 (note that Herbie Nichols and the rhythm section rated billing only under "and others" on the cover): i see the price of 5,75 german marks. i don´t know the year of this issue, but i think that was not cheap! keep boppin´ marcel

my experience is, that the old cd-players (i have a 22 year old jvc) can play everything with no problems. the new ones have problems especially with cd-r´s! it´s always the same with machines of all kinds of the new generations. keep boppin´ marcel

"Interlude in Bop: Benny Goodman in the Late 1940s"
bichos replied to ghost of miles's topic in Jazz Radio & Podcasts
it depends on to what extent you would rate Benny G's larger 1948/49 lineups as "bop" lineups (they do figure on many of the bop-influenced BG reissues), but to the best of my knowledge, guitarist FRANCIS BEECHER also is still around. (He incidentally also was on the April 14, 1949, SEPTET session lineup that also included Wardell Gray, Doug Mettome, Clyde Lombardi etc. so should indeed qualify as part of the "bop GROUP" members). Many of you will unwittingly will have heard Francis Beecher often through the years: In fact he is FRANNIE Beecher of Bill Haley's Comets (do I hear anybody yell "heresy"? ) fame and appeared on most of his hit records as well as in his movies etc. Only a few years ago he finally retired from the lineup of the revived Comets (that regularly toured all over the world) due to health reasons but AFAIK he is still with us. wow, that´s interesting! thanks for that info, i didn´t realize the fact that haley´s comets have a "connection" to the king of swing. keep boppin´ marcel- 19 replies
