no, this is johnny miller on bass (he was with king cole from 1942 - 1948); wesley prince was earlier (from 1937 - 1942) and from 1948 - 1951 was joe comfort. keep boppin´ marcel

first i thought of the nat king cole trio. ?????

in the meantime, this broadcasts are also available on the definitive label: http://www.jazzmessengers.com/ProductInfo.asp?ref=114410 keep boppin´ marcel

yes, and they will do it also with the charlie parker (complete on verve) and lester young (complete verve studio sessions). i found them here (unfortunately without information. they are without the good booklets, im sure): http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/jazz/detail/-/hnum...ome/rsk/hitlist http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/jazz/detail/-/hnum...ome/rsk/hitlist http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/jazz/detail/-/hnum...ome/rsk/hitlist (i´m waiting for the complete verve bud powell set) keep boppin´ marcel

this sessions are out for a long time on the italien philology "label" in the "brownie´s eyes" serie. good music, sound is o.k. (for a brownie afficionado, every sound is o.k.) keep boppin´ marcel

and don´t forget that in that "box" are the two interviews with prez that i was looking for so long. a must for every prez afficionado!!!! keep boppin´ marcel

Underrated- definitely. Highly respected- yes, by those who have bothered to investigate. Died before realizing his potential?- Not sure I understand. Thomas developed his style very nicely, and even had time to evolve somewhat as he experimented with different styles in the early 70's (eg, "Dynasty", "Live In Sesjun", "Thomas-Pelzer Ltd."). He died before much of the jazz world really appreciated him, but to say he hadn't reached his potential... I don't know. jim r, i think, you are right. but i made only a copy of this sentenses from a site on the net where this cd was mentioned without thinking about it too critical.... sorry! keep boppin´ marcel

late, but not too late: happy birthday to you!

to clear up the sessions, this compilation has nothing new: 4 sessions from 17.april54; 05.mai54; 09.june55 and 22.march56. all here to see more details: http://thomasia.free.fr/chrono1.php i hope that i help with this informations to buy or not to buy this cd. keep boppin´ marcel

in the meantime i found the tracklist of the upcoming "guitaristic" cd. maybe it helps a little bit: Titles on disc 1.: L'imbecile 2.: How About You 3.: All The Things You Are 4.: Relaxin' At The Grand Balcon 5.: There Will Never Be Another You 6.: Lover Man 7.: Burt's Pad 8.: Autobuzz 9.: Tis Autumn 10.: Indiana 11.: Thomasia 12.: Sextius 13.: Influence 14.: Guitaristic 15.: Imy 16.: Real Cat 17.: Someone To Watch Over Me 18.: Get Happy 19.: A Night In Tunisia 20.: My Old Flame 21.: Easy To Love 22.: Goodnight Wherever You Are Twenty two track compilation, bringing together the great jazz guitarist's work with his orchestra, his quartet, his sextet (he was clearly a busy man) and the Modern Group. An underrated player who died before realising his potential, he is now a highly respected player.

just wonderful! thanks for the great links!! keep boppin´ marcel p.s.: mmilovan, have you located the lester young interview mentioned here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...33034&st=30 can you post it? thanks!!!

happy birthday from me, too!

and here are some photos exactly from that concert! keep boppin´ marcel

hello, i found this cover of a cd (i think a cheap production) on the net. my question is: is this a real photo of lester young or is it a painting? where can I find the original photo and (if it´s a real one) who is the photographer? thanks in advance. keep boppin´ marcel

a good and rare compilation from baldwin street music. shavers in various groups from 1940 - 1952. even with the young modern (buddy defranco, charles mingus, max roach, phil urso, george wallington and chuck wayne) he is superb. keep boppin´ marcel

Did a quick search before posting this but could not find a DVD with it! as far as i know it´s on the "bonus" dvd in the bmg rca bluebird cenntenial collection from 2004 together with "nine video selections that include two clips from Paramount shorts, among them "Symphony in Black" and "Record Making With Duke Ellington and His Orchestra," five clips from 1941, a selection from "Jamboree #7" from 1943, and an 11-minute interview with Ellington that was recorded for Radio Newsreel and is previously unreleased. " (this from all music guide). keep boppin´ marcel

searching the last days for a photo of paul quinichette without finding one. (also not at home in books and magazines) finally here is one: http://www.umkc.edu/orgs/local627/foundation/gallery3.asp the original is bigger but i can´t post it because of the size! keep boppin´ marcel

it´s ben lafosse! (wrong credited as dean benedetti (sic!) in the wonderful photo book "boris vian, le jazz et saint-germain" by frank ténot (editions du may, paris, 1993). there is another photo of this jam session in the big book "to bird with love" (editions wizlov, poitiers, 1981) by chan parker and francis paudras where ben lafosse is mentioned. keep boppin´ marcel

that´s strange and funny: just got yesterday a parcel with that "at the jazz band ball" dvd and the bix film in it!! wonderful! there is another (silent) film with bix: you can see images here: http://bixbeiderbecke.com/premiere/newstills.html (sorry, if this was posted earlier..) keep boppin´ marcel

mmilovan, yes, can you please post it? there exist also an unissued and unkown blindfold test recording of lester young with leonard feather. i found the information here: http://www.leonardfeather.com/feather_credits2.html this site is not updated for years and i contatced lorraine feather ca. two years ago and asked her about chapter 5 but she answered me that she has too much other work to continue this project in the moment..... keep boppin´ marcel
