  8. The Complete Lester Young Keynote Sessions

    in Recommendations

    Posted

    I bought this CD in mp3 format, and it's missing discographical info. I know who plays on the dates, but can anyone tell me which takes were the masters and which were alternates?

    Just You Just Me (2 takes) take 2 = master

    I Never Knew (2 takes) take 2 = master

    Afternoon Of A Basie-ite (2 takes) take 2 = master

    Sometimes I'm Happy (2 takes) take 2 = master

    After Theatre Jump (2 takes) take 2 = master

    Six Cats And A Prince (3 takes) take 3 = master

    Destination K.C. (2 takes) take 2 = master

    or to make it more short: the last take is always the master.

  9. Von Freeman RIP

    Stumbled upon this today: A "Soundstage" program from Chicago in 1975 focused on jazz singing with Jon Hendricks, Annie Ross, Eddie Jefferson and Leon Thomas. Looks the show was conceived by Ben Sidran. The very first sound you hear during the opening credits is Von's unmistakable tenor. He gets some feature time later in the show. Skip to the 38:30 minute mark for his most prominent appearance, playing an intro chorus and then a solo on "Centerpiece." Later in the show he solos on Thomas' feature "Straight No Chaser." So great to see footage of Von from this era.

    wow! Eddie jefferson! very rare to see him on film!

    thanks for the link.

  12. billy eckstine biography

    not finished the book yet but from what i´ve read i think it´s an easy and good to read book, capturing the whole live

    of b. in chronological order from various sources, (newspapers like pittsburgh courier; Magazins (billboard, down beat,...) and with the help of the eckstine Family. two things so far: nothing new about the circumstances of stan hasselgards death. and on page 74 is a mistake as the afrs jubilee Shows from 1945 with eckstine´s band are misslabeled as coming

    from the Coca-cola Spotlight bands programs! the book is a good completition to Dieter salemann´s "roots of modern jazz" series vol. 19, solography, discography, band routes, Engagements, Billy eckstine (2010). and now we know that his last "rosebud"-word was: "basie"...

    in the meantime i gave up hope that this Treasury will ever be released! why? because it´s in the posession of the national jazz Museum in Harlem. if you want to hear some of the recordings you have to visit the Museum. that´s the big plus Point of the Museum. they have "the holy grayl". if it gets released not so many People would go to visit the Museum (i think). the same is with the Louis armstrong Museum. they have all of Louis tapes (in there an undocumented jam session with Charlie parker and big nick nicholas (without satchmo)). you can only hear it when you visit the Museum.

    only my guess.

    Now Marcel, such cynicism! But, I think in this case, Loren really does want to get the music released. He's a true jazz guy.

    gregmo, your wish is also mine! i hope it will be released, but i´m pessimistic/realisic about the circumstances of Copyright and all this things to get this (or parts of it) released. hope, hope, hope!

  18. Bop In Britian Vols. I & II

    in Re-issues

    I am resurrecting this decade-old thread for a specific inquiry.

    After the Bebop in Britain 4-CD box set done by Charly (gathering Esquire recordings from the late 40s/early 50s) was mentioned in passing in the Tommy Whittle obit thread my curiosity was aroused so I checked the contents online and though I have close to three quarters of the contents on the Equire LPs reissued long ago I sprung for it as a dirt cheap new copy was around on amazon.

    So .... here goes:

    While listening to the 4th CD set ("In ALL Directions") the contents of which are mostly new to me, I noticed an oddity: This CD has only 22 tracks instead of the 24 listed on the cover and in the booklet. After aural checking, the Norman Burns quintet occupies tracks 9 to 13 instead of 9 to 14 (Bye Bye Blackbird is track 13 instead of 14), and one of the Tito Burns tracks also seems to have gone AWOL.

    DId any others who won this set notice this, and do any experts happen to know which tracks exactly are missing? (Not being famlilar with the various originals on that set it is hard to tell which is which if you have not heard those tracks elsewhere before)

    My copy has all 24 tracks

    also here: all complete and in right order!
