that´s sad, sad news!!! this is for me the place to get new informations about new jazz (re)-releases and other infos of interest. even if i don´t post so much i try to read organissimo everyday! why we don´t all go over to the still existing aaj or speakeasy jazzcorner forums and enter it like pirates... if we are all over there it´s more interesting than now... thanks for all the interesting years.. bicho@ngi.de keep boppin´ marcel

To keep things in perspective, my eyes at the time were on Lionel Hampton whose showmanship made a deep impression on me! Clifford Brown was just one of the boys in the band and did not take solos, as far as I remember! according to the clifford brown discography by bob weir (almere 2004) there are privat recordings from paris and only one solo by brownie: palais de chaillot, 27 september 1953 (unissued private tape, 3 tracks, no brownie) théatre de paris, (the hampton orchestra performed for 5 consecutive evenings and a unissued private tape with 7 tracks and no brownie solos is from one of the concerts on 7 - 9 or 11 october 1953) théatre de paris, 10 october 1953: privat tape, 12 tracks and one brownie solo on "boogie woogie") it´s avaiable on cd "royal jazz rjd-517" and complete on "philology" brownie´s eyes, vol. 30. keep boppin´ marcel

let me be the first one: happy birthday, brownie! your posts are always a pleasure on this forum! all the best. keep boppin´ marcel

Absolutely. I can supply any/all Uptown cds. what happend to the uptown cd called: "Detroit Jazz Before Motown, 1945-53"? i´ve never heard a word about it. any plans or dates known? keep boppin´ marcel

maybe it was the outtakes of "anna and the king of siam (avaiable on varese sarabande) or some outtakes of "on dangerous ground" (you can hear some sound-samples here): http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=3700 track 21 (on the right side has one minute of outtakes) keep boppin´ marcel

The Hawk footage does show up-- I think at the very end of the first disc. ah, yes thank you - there it is, but also from back to forward! here is a link where you can see the sequence in right direction. (hawkins put his cigarette on the floor at the end) click on the "NEW - Extra Scenes from the Mili/Grantz session - 1950" (it takes a little time ´till the film starts) http://www.birdlives.co.uk/content/view/49/126/ keep boppin´ marcel

ups! i mean composer! -sorry, folks!

bernard herrmann - one of my two favourites (the other one is charles koechlin)! love his "vertigo". and everytime i hear his work "for the fallen", i can´t hold my tears. it´s absolutly deep emotional music for me that touched my mind!! "beneath the 12-mile reef" is also very moving! you can feel the up and down of the sea!! amazing is the "snow ride" of "the magnificent ambersons": the unheard combination of nine (!) celestas!!! have a lot of the "varese sarabande" cd´s with joel mcneely and the seattle symphony orchestra or the royal scotish orch. but i prefer the original recordings with herrmann himself as conductor also on various labels as "varese sarabande", "film score monthly", "tcm", "cloud nine records", "tsunami" and "sound factory". the last two are kind of bootlegs (?). and think of all the music in hitchcock´s films. (including the sound effects in "the birds")! a great, great composter!! keep boppin´ marcel

yes, the second dvd is amazing with all the photos by paul nodler including this unique charlie parker sleeping on a table!!! only one sequence is missing (or i don´t see it) compare with the original "improvisation" issue that i have on a japanese vhs from 1996: coleman hawkins dismounting his sax and smoking during this incident. and something only for bird aficionados: jacques muyal mentioned in the liner notes that only 52 second of bird appeard on film during the famous metronome session where they played "groovin´ high". that must be of course "hot house". nevertheless it´s a great dvd with all the material together in great quality. (you can get the whole japt film on youtube and other video portales but in what quality...?) keep boppin´ marcel

no, no, when they release the webster-box, it will be more than 35 years ago..... and i think that they will continue the d.e.t.s. at the 100th anniversary of the first "date with the duke" broadcast...... never give up hope. keep swingin´ marcel

there must be a recording (poor quality tape) from the blue note club, philadelphia, pa, with bird and brownie from between 04. - 09. january 1954. it is reported in piet koster "bird lore" charlie parker discography (almere 2002) and also in the brownie discography by bob weir (almere 2004). similar details in the koster book of a second poor quality tape of brownie and bird at the same club on 14 - 19 june 1954 are incorrect because brownie was in california at this time. but: there exist a privat tap of bird and brownie jamming at brown´s house in philadelphia!! larue brown metioned this in an long interview with phil schaap in ca. june 1991 at larue´s home. schaap asked if they played together and larue brown answered that they played in philadelphia at a gig but never recorded professionally togehter. and than she continued: "...i´m in the posession of the tapes because they were done in our home and they are in the (?) bold (?) and perhaps our grandson clifford brown III will do something with them one day." that´s the stuff every brownie and bird fanatic wants to hear...! keep boppin´ marcel
