this "early bebop" is essential. great recordings with dave lambert and dave stewart. (but that´s what the serie is called: "essential keynote collection". keep boppin´ marcel

mmilovan, look for post #110 in this topic. there is the information larry appelbaum gave me in 2007. the jam session was a good filler for the "storyville" d-cd "100 yeaes - forever young". but this was not the case...(i think it has something to do with copyright). keep boppin´ marcel

Of course it is. Look under "Hasselgard movie". yes, the documentary "hasselgard story" by jonas sima is very good. i have it on vhs but it´s now out also on dvd. a very touching movie. including the only known footage of hasselgard! sima is searching for june eckstine (who drove the car during the fatal accident) but she don´t want talk to him. (btw. bob redcross, yes t h i s bob redcross was on the back seat and is also interviewed). a great film! keep boppin´ marcel

for me, it´s a must to buy: i have never heard the first four tracks and need the last two. (i think they are the capitol alternates with red norvo). in between are the jubilee´s. i suppose the sound quality is very good. and dragon is a label that always wake up my interest. the hasselgard releases from them on lp and cd are always high quality issues. good liner notes and accurate. here is a fine stan hasselgard tribute site with discography: http://sites.google.com/site/stanhasselgard/ keep boppin´ marcel

just learned from the dragon records homepage that there is a new release with stan hasselgard´s california records (including a few unissued tracks-one with hasselgard singing!!!!!!) here is the link: http://www.dragonrecords.se/news.htm keep boppin´ marcel

here are informations via the fats waller yahoo group: "This double CD is Fuel (Varèse Sarabande) 3020618262 "Fats Waller Performance, Radio Recordings from 1931 to 1943" (issued 2010), and is a re-issue of an earlier Fuel double CD 30206142622 from around 2004 with four additional tracks, making 36-tracks in total. However, the liner notes are the same and refers to 32 tracks !! Of course, there are no radio air-checks from 1931, or any commercial recordings from that year. The recordings are from 1934 to 1943 and have all been issued before. It's just a random selection of tracks without any rhyme or reason. Since the liner notes do not give the recording details, I lit them as follows: CD #1 1. The Sheik of Araby (NBC broadcast 5 July 1938). 2. Honeysuckle Rose #2 (Associated transcription 7/8/1939). 3. Viper's Drag (Associated trabscription 11/3/1935). 4. I'm Crazy 'Bout My Baby (as 3) 5. After You've Gone #1 (as 2). 6. You're Slightly Less Than Wonderful (V-Disc, 16/9/1943). 7. Sweet Sue, Just You (as 3). 8. Alligator Crawl (as 3). 9. The Moon Is Low #1 (as 2). 10. Lonesome Me (as 2). 11. St. Louis Blues (as 2). 12. Tea For Two (as 2). 13. My Fate Is In Your Hands (as 3). 14. When You And I Were Young, Maggie (Lang-Worth transcription 20/11/1939). 15. Hallelujah (as 2). 16. I Had To Do It (Yacht Club, 18/10/1938). 17. Flat Foot Floogie (Yacht Club, 14/10/1938). 18. Ain't Misbehavin' (as 2). CD #2 1. I Simply Adore You (NBC broadcast, 5/7/38). 2. Handful Of Keys (as 1, CD#2). 3. Honolulu Bundle (Panther Room broadcast, 27/12/1940). 4. Whatcha Know Joe? (as 3, CD#2). 5. Oh Susanna (as 14, CD#1). 6. E Flat Blues (as 2, CD#1). 7. The Spider And The Fly (as 2, CD#1). 8.

I Wish I Were Twins (Commercial issue, Mx 82527-1, 16/5/1934). 11. Baby Brown (as 3, CD#1). 12. How Can You Face Me (as 3, CD#1). 13. Don't Let It Bother You (as 3, CD#1). 14.

i just heard the new "storyville" d-cd "lester young 100 years-forever young" with four unissued sessions. two tracks from birdland 15. april 1953 (lob/up and at´em and too marvellous for words) -the track identification in the liners is wrong!- with his working group (drakes, silver, skeets, kay). six (in fact five) tracks from storyville, boston 15. december 1953 (lob; just you, just me; papermoon; announcement; waterfront; up and at´em) with drakes, mahones, henry, kay. three tracks from théatre des arts, paris, 01. november 1956 (3 little words; waterfront; d.b. blues) with urtreger, michelot, garros. three tracks from kongresshaus zürich, switzerland, 19. november 1956 (moonbeams; 3 little words; lester leaps in) with the same rhythm section as before. the fourth track (lady be good) from this concert is with miles davis and was issued before. the rest is not new: birdland, may 19, 1951 birdland, august 15, 1956 olivia´s pato lounge, washington, december 8, 1956 (the four tracks with earl swope) café bohemia, december 15 and 22, 1956 (missing is the presentation of the musicians´ musician poll award by leonard feather to lester young). it´s mentioned in the liner notes but not on the disc) the only issue of the presentation is (to my knowlegde) the jass-cd "prez conference". liner notes are by frank büchmann-möller, so i think the dates are correct. it´s only a pity that the library of congress recordings of the lester young jam from dec. 29, 1940 are still unissued. keep boppin´ marcel

another year and another happy birthday, parkertown! keep boppin´ marcel

happy birthday, from here, too. i´m sure that the deal will bring good music!! keep boppin´ marcel

to answer my own questions: yes, it´s on the "rlr" label and there is nothing new on it. as a bonus there are the soundtracks of three tv-broadcast with bird on it. october 50: "broadway open house" (available only on philology) with milton delug, accordeon. from march 49 "adventures in jazz" with miles, max kaminsky, kai winding, will bradley, joe marsala, mike caluccio, joe sullivan, max roach, specs powell. (formerly on stash and philology). february 49 (metronome award show of 1948) with shorty sherock, sidney bechet, joe bushkin, chubby jackson and george wettling. and the "lady bird" from november 1950 (also from paris) with maurice mouflard (only one "f" in his name!) and his orchestra when bird came back from sweden. let´s see if they have the long version of the "blues finale" on it. this is superb music and rare!! keep boppin´ marcel

is this one of the labels from andora? so there must be 15 tracks from salle pleyel, paris and 8 from roubaix. i don´t think that there is something new and unissued and i suppose that the sound is not better than all other issues (spotlite, philology, bird box and some others). the only source for new material (or better sound) is the ina archive. but so far there is nothing on their site from the jazz festival 1949. keep boppin´ marcel

it seems that this double cd is from the label "fuel2000" and not from "varese sarabande". i don´t know why the all music guide side list it under the latter one. i suppose this new d-cd is a re-issue from material available on labels out of print now. ("stash" or "archives of jazz", later on "galaxy", comes to mind). keep boppin´ marcel

you have to buy the cd and hear the commercials to know what lucidin eye lotion is..... keep boppin´ marcel

i gave the question and link to the fats waller yahoogroup and get the answer that " Many of the selections are from the Associated Program Service 16 " transcriptions 1935 (APS). None that were sampled likely originated in 1931. The writer is technically in error writing: Arguably his best work was done for Victor in 1934 and 1935, Although the 1934-35 Victor sides are great, there were many many more of equal musical value by Fats, until his death in 1943, including the APS 1935 sides" so, a track by track listing would be helpful! keep boppin´ marcel

b.t.w. here are two very complete and intersting japanese bird sites with lot of informations about the bird´s eyes series: first: http://murayama-hideki.com/CharlieParker/AlbumPhilology.html#BirdsEyes1 second: http://bird.parkerslegacy.com/ keep boppin´ marcel

no. keep boppin´ marcel dang If you have a decent amount of uncommon Bird, a box set of Bird's Eye's material (assuming that such a thing existed) would give you a lot of duplication. Your best bet is to try and match up dates of the material on the CDs with a discography - not the easiest thing to do -and go for what you want/need. that´s exactly what i did. a lot of work but it makes fun! (beware it´s only for bird hardcore afficionados!!) keep boppin´ marcel

no. keep boppin´ marcel

the bird´s eyes serie is reaching now to vol. 105!! with a lot of duplicating itself. from vol. 26 on this are cd-r´s you can get only from mr. piangiarelli via mail. on some of them there are rarities on it that you can only get there (before the labels from andorra were on the market). for example the wonderful live recording of dizzy and bird from billy berg´s 1945. (and i don´t mean the jubilee performances that sometimes labeled as from billy berg´s!). this are for me one of bird´s best recordings!!! or the birdland broadcast with bud powell, hank mobley and max roach - a wonderful rendition of "star eyes" -where you can hear parker´s child baird crying in the background (from chan parker´s collection) - not issued elsewhere (i think philology has this from one of phil schaap´s bird flight broadcasts). or a complete(!) version of one of the "home cookin´" tracks form 1.february 1947! here is a link to the wonderful miles ahead site to check out what is on the philology vol. 1-69: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/BirdDiscoLabels.aspx keep boppin´ marcel
