hello, mrjazzman, yes you asked before. here is it: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...3&hl=ripley keep boppin´ marcel

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 keep boppin´ marcel

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. keep boppin´ marcel

wow! thank you brownie, thank you chuck nessa, thank you free for all, that´s really nice! if i could, i would invite you all for a few free cool drinks (it´s so hot here in my office). unfortunately my computer at home has "fatal errors" for weeks now and i´m only able to write from my work (psst, don´t tell my boss). this organissimo jazz forum is one of the best and most informative of all the forums i know. thanks to you all!! keep boppin´ into a new year marcel

yes, it´s leo parker and gonsalves. wilson maybe. but in the stan hasselgard section it´s not hasselgard on any of that pictures!! interesting to see the people sitting at the stage in town hall on the lester young concert. and another rare picture of prez with his metal (?) clarinet. and, of course, bird on tenor with hampton (wow), any broadcasts of this event from the band box? (not known till now...) keep boppin´ marcel

hello, according to this site http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=571218 this is the earliest known to exist footage of miles. showing him at a rehearsal with the erwin lehn orchestra. i saw it years ago at german tv but i don´t know if it´s avaiable. but i remember exactly that they mentioned that this is the first miles on film and i thought: "wow, first miles footage in stuttgart, germany" keep boppin´ marcel

yes, they are all excellent!!! there´s also coming a new chet baker dvd with a 1959 concert in torino with lars gullin! a rare chance to see him live performing! according to www.jazzmessengers.com does anybody knows when the long announced lars gullin discography by pär rittsel is comming? according to this long time not updated site ( http://www.gullin.net/ ) it is in preparation since 2002. keep boppin´ marcel

according to the bud powell discography by claude schlouch the only cd issue of this powell track was on an italian "musica jazz" cd. (mjcd 1095). but: "bonus cd, not for sale". i think i came out together with a magazin?? but there must be more bud powell from comblain-la-tour, because i don´t think that he played only one tune!! keep boppin´ marcel

hello all, just for fun and not really important - but here is a list (from various sources) of charlie parker playing the white grafton plastic saxophon (on recorded sound and on pictures): -there are 2 pictures in the big book "to bird with love" by frances paudras and chan parker on pages 304/305 showing bird and his grafton without date only "collection chan parker". -1 picture by bob douglas from 1953 in riverside, california shown in the booklet of an rhino cd compilation of l.a. jazz anthology on side 46. (i think it´s from the tour with chet baker and carson smith). -2 pictures by huguette (rajotte) schwartz in the booklet of the uptown cd "bird in montreal" on page 13. the other one is in the mark miller book "cool blues, bird in canada" on page 45. it´s from the chez paree club, montreal, febr. 7, 1953. -8 pictures by harold robinson from massey hall, toronto. may 15. 1953. seven are shown in the book "cool blues" by mark miller and one is on the cover of the uptown cd "bird in montreal". there is maybe the most famous parker pic with plastic sax (all the years credited to the frank driggs collection and not mentioned harold robinson) -4 pictures by alan scharf also from the massey hall concert. shown also in mark miller´s "cool blues" and one different in geoffrey haydon: "quintet of the year". -1 picture with candido, dizzy gillespie and bird at birdland from 1950. (i don´t have a photographers name and i think it´s not 1950 but later). that makes only 18 pictures in toto. but i think there must be more! bird plays his grafton also on this dates: -probably on feb. 5, 1953 on cbc-tv, montreal. (only the soundtrack is avaiable on uptown cd. the cinescope is lost- till now. -feb. 7, 1953: chez paree club, montreal . (also on uptown cd.) -feb. 22, 1953: club kavakos, washington. (with the orchestra, the famous "one night in washington" gig with bird flying through the arrangements without knowing them. wonderful!!) -may 09. 1953: birdland, new york city (an aircheck from boris rose, the mc bob garrity talks about his white plastic sax) -may 15., 1953: massey hall, toronto -may 09. 1954: open door, new york city -ca. spring 1952 mccann´s, leominster, mass. and after that - rollaway ballroom, revere beach, mass. (no recordings from that gigs) i hope, not boring anyone with this little list.... keep boppin´ marcel
