in july 2007 i contacted larry appelbaum from the loc in washington and asked him about plans to release the lester young sides. here is his answer: " Hello Marcel, I'm not aware of any plans to issue the Lester Young jam session materials. Any record label can do so as long as they get permission of the rights holders. So far I've not been contacted by any label and no one has come down to listen to the discs. Larry" and in a second mail he gave this information: "There's only about 15-20 mins of Lester, along with other items from the jam session (like Sammy Price trio performances). i would think this might be bonus material for a Lester Young reissue. Larry" that is both sad and surprise news for me. because i thought that there is a market for a legend like lester young and that this recordings go very quickly on cd (like the monk/coltrane one). but that´s not the fact. so we have to make propaganda and find a label who is willing to release this historical recordings. keep boppin´ marcel

you can see dodo marmarosa in the film "thrill of a romance" (released 1945) with the tommy dorsey orchestra. you can forget the whole film (with bathing beauty esther williams, van johnson and singer lauritz melchior ) even the shots with dorsey are not special. (buddy defranco was also in the band) but you can see dodo for a few seconds standing behind a piano like a stature when dorsey´s (film) daughter is playing and singing. another scene is so badly cut and filmed (battle of the balcony jive) (dodo´s composition) you see only his hands playing. buddy rich is featured here. a very boppish composition based on "i got rhythm". the soundtrack and filming was in july - september 1944. the soundtrack is avaiable on a rhino cd "tommy & jimmy dorsey swingin´ in hollywood" from 1998. there are also some stories with defranco and marmarosa (they were roommates) in the book "tommy dorsey-livin´ in a great big way" by peter j. levinson (da capo 2005). and here´s an anectode with dodo: Trombonist Paul O'Connor, now the Secretary-Treasurer of Local 427-721 in Tampa, played with the bands of Bobby Sherwood, Jerry Wald, Hal McIntyre and Charlie Spivak, among others. While he was with Spivak in Williamsport (Penn.) in the mid-1950s, the late Dodo Marmarosa was hired to fill the piano chair. Dodo came down from his home in Pittsburgh, and without fanfare and only a few hellos, sat down at the piano. After a couple of sets, Spivak noticed that Dodo hadn't opened the piano book. Dodo was playing flawlessly, but Spivak warned him that the next set would contain a complex Manny Albam chart that he might want to look over. Dodo looked up at Spivak and said, "Don't worry, Charlie, I won't need the music." He ran a chromatic scale up the piano. "Either it goes up..." he quickly reversed the scale, "...or it goes down." The whole band laughed, Spivak tapped off the tune, and Dodo played it perfectly. Paul said that during Dodo's tenure with the band, the piano book stayed in its box, and Paul never heard any clinkers from the piano. more here: http://www.local802afm.org/publication_ent...xEntry=24526170 keep boppin´ marcel
