Hello all, peter schmidlin from the „tcb“ label gives the information that in early 2007 it is planned to release the vol. 16 in the “swiss radio days jazz series”. It includes the second part (the instrumental one) from the jatp concert in lausanne, march 14, 1953 with charlie shavers, willie smith, lester young and flip phillips. this concert is totally undocumented and unknown in the discographies. Sound quality is very good! So, we have another new prez discovery!! Now, we are waiting for the release of the recently discovered lester young jam from 1940. Keep boppin´ marcel

Dear Bichos, The two parts of "Caravan" released on the label of Anthony come directly from my EP. I participated to the booklet providing information about Elek Bacsik. Best Steven Jambot congratulations, steven. than my info was useless for you, sorry. (maybe i have to read the liner-notes more carefully. sorry i don´t recordnize your name.) but thanks for the interesting informations about the great elek bacsik (one of my favourite musicians). keep boppin´ marcel

Hello, yesterday i listen to the new cd „oscar peterson/ella fitzgerald – jatp, lausanne 1953. swiss radio days, vol. 15” on the “tcb” label. It has (part?) of the fitzgerald set, (part?) of the peterson set and unfortunately only one track (lester leaps in; 4:22) with lester young! He is in fine form and his solo is superb. The liner notes are short, uninteresting and generally held about ella and peterson. Including is a bad scanned photo of ella and ray brown. No background informations about this world premier recording! But the tone quality is very good! The personal for the lester young track is listing only charlie shavers on trumpet but you can hear more instruments. That must be willie smith and flip phillips. There is only one other document from this jatp tour in march 1953 from europe known to me from paris (03.03.1953 and in not so good sound). so I´m sure there must be more of the jam set with them all together here in lausanne! I hope “tcb” brings out more of that concert. If you have a lot of ella fitzgerald and / or oscar peterson from that period, you don´t need this cd but as lester young fan you will be happy to have one more gem of the great prez. Keep boppin´ Marcel

their plan is to bring out a big box together with peter pullman´s bud powell biography, peter keepnews´ monk biography and jack chamber´s twardzik biography. a little book-shop in andorra has it. i´m sure! :-) keep waitin´ and boppin´ marcel

sorry to say that there is no version from december 1945! Some sources (including the AFRS transcription notes) suggest that "A Night in Tunisia" was also recorded on that date, and Philology Volume 8 (W 80) and Media 7 MJCD 121 include a version of this tune. It's a fake, however, as the notes to MJCD 142 observe: "We now know that it is an incredible five-part montage, taken alternately from 'A Night in Tunisia' by Dizzy, the January 1951 Birdland version with John Coltrane, and another 'A Night in Tunisia' by Parker, the February 26, 1949 Royal Roost version with Kenny Dorham." i like sarah vaughan´s version (interlude) from 1944 and also boyd raeburn´s versions featuring dizzy gillespie from 1945. keep boppin´ marcel

"jatp with ella fitzgerald and oscar peterson” Rare and previously un-issued performances recorded at a Jazz At The Philharmonic concert in Lausanne, Switzerland and broadcast on Swiss radio in 1953. The concert is split in three groupings; Ella and Oscar with Ray Brown and J.C.
