  3. Night in Tunisia

    in Miscellaneous Music

    Posted

    ...

    There's also an intensely burning version by Charlie Parker, a live set from December 1945, on one of Philology's Bird's Eyes sets (Vol. 8, I think... but I can't be sure of that). The sound is crap, but Bird is soaring!!! :tup

    Cheers,

    Shane

    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.

    I have this very rare EP of Kenny Clarke, missing from the discographies (Métropole [FR] 46001) .

    Is there someone here who could give me the date of recording (Paris, 1959 or 1960) and the date of release ?

    Thanks

    the two part "caravan" is released on the wonderful two-cd "i like be i like bop" on the ab fable label (abcd2-011/12). including a 96(!) page booklet. (they have wonderful releases! look here: http://www.abar.net/ ) the recording date is given as: c.december 1959 and the first release as ?c.1970 on your métropole ep.

  5. another new lester young recording

    in New Releases

    Posted

    I saw the CD last week, wasn't aware of this great series ("Swiss Radio Days") being continued, since it's been a few years since their last release... didn't have a closer look, as I don't need more OP (or Ella) and Pres isn't noted on the cover... so it's just one track with him? Will have to play it at a store to decide if I really need it...

    yes, it´s unfortunatley only one track with lester "lester leaps in" with charlie shavers. but it´s not a few years since their last release. there was in january one with benny goodman from 1950:

  6. another new lester young recording

    in New Releases

    Posted

    Hello,

    There is a new cd on the “tcb” label “swiss radio days” series. "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. Heard on the first seven tracks, then Lester Young performing his famous tune "Lester Leaps In" with Oscar and his rhythm section plus Charlie Shavers on trumpet. The remaining five tracks feature Oscar's famous trio with bassist Ray Brown and guitarist Barney Kessel.

    Recorded: Theatre de Beaulieu, Lausanne, March 14, 1953.

    this is as far as i know totally undocumented in the "lestorian notes" discography and also in the book "you just fight for your life". i found informations here: http://www.jazzmessengers.com/

    now, we are waiting for the cd-issue of the recently found atcetates of the lester jam from 1940!

  16. early bud powell recordings

    in Discography

    Posted

    Hi folks,

    Sorry, but Francis Paudras never told me about the tapes recorded by Bud's father when his son was 10 in 1934. He may have heard them when he was in the United States, but I'm sure that he didn't have them in Paris. Maybe Celia could tell us more. She can be contacted via Piadrum Records owned by Miss Jessica Shih.

    jessica@piadrum.com

    thank you, claude, for answering at this thread. (i was hoping, that you can bring some light to this story). maybe i will ask celia via piadrum records.

    thanks again.

  22. early bud powell recordings

    in Discography

    hello all,

    in the liner notes of the first volume of the ten volume set "earl bud powell" on "mythic sound" cd-ms 6001-2 (long out of print), francis paudras mentioned recordings by bud powell made between 1934 and 1939 (!) recorded by his father on a self-made recording machine worked with reels of magnetic steel wire. francis paudras writes: "i had the great privileg of hearing the first of bud´s recodings. he played bach, chopin, debussy, but also in a different register, ""tea for two"", ""how high the moon"", ""honeysuckle rose""..." ..."the privileg of hearing these recordings made between 1934 and 1939 permits me to smile......"

    ("how high the moon" was, i think, from the beginning of the 40´s, so this recordings are maybe dated a little bit later.)

    i found nothing in the bud powell discography by claude schlouch or on the web. does anybody knows about this??? are they in circulation to collectors? who can bring a little light on this story? or is this another "buddy bolden cylinder" story?

    mr. claude schlouch (also on this forum) maybe??

    thanks in advance

  23. gerald wilson new cd reissue

    in Discography

    Posted

    hello all,

    does somebody know who the singer on the tiltle "since we said goodbye" (track 8) is? he is in the billy eckstine/earl coleman style. maybe it is earl coleman? and there is a lot of flute featured in the tracks. could it be buddy colette? he was often featured with gerald wilson´s recordings from the 60´s.

    i don´t think that the date of the live stereo tracks (9 - 15) is 1950! hear the m.c. at the end. he is announcing the george shearing quintet with for the first time cal tjader, toots thielemans and another name i can´t understand. so the date must be around early 1953! and before the stan getz feature gerald wilson announced: "now a young man who has for the past 5 years won the top spots of metronome and down beat magazin awards". does anybody in what year stan getz won for the first time an award?

    but nevertheless i think it´s great music by the great gerald wilson and a new entry in the too little wardell gray discography.
