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! keep boppin´ marcel

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
