    That Kenny Clarke with Andy and the Bey Sisters session is not listed in the Lord...

    Never heard of it and one I have never seen :(

    That is one of the rarest french EPs : one example known. The owner is Alain Antonietto. I have just done a copy for me... :P:tup

    The recording is not very good, anyway Clarke, Michelot, Simmons, Gaudry, Bacsik, ... what a line-up ! :)

    "Quentin Jackson" recorded february 1960 in Paris (Ducretet Thomson).

    w. Quentin Jackson (tb, voc), Clark Terry (tp), Art Simmons (p), Elek Bacsik (g), Michel Gaudry (b) & Kenny Clarke (dm).

    Found this rare item a few months ago.

    BirdandDizzy, for your information, Bacsik remains in background through the whole session!

    Yeah, I just love this album. Bacsik his really great on the background and very good harmony with the piano.

    There is also other recording with the same personnel (you also found the EP) :

    "Art Simmons" and his orchestra, recorded 9 november 1959 for Ducretet Thomson

    w. Clark Terry, Eric Dixon (fl, sax), Art Simmons (p), Elek Bacsik (g), Michel Gaudry (b), Kenny Clarke (dm) and Billie Poole (voc).

    So sad, Billie died this year in May.

    My friend Art Simmons is proud of this album and that's one of the few albums where you can hear -even in a bigger band- the trio of the Mars Club...

  12. Googa Mooga

    in Miscellaneous Music

    Posted

    I half-heartedly went to the Austin Record Show this weekend for about an hour with a friend. Didn't really dig around that much, but just happened upon an old 45 on the Dawn label by Lou Bennet (the great but very under-recorded organist). Since this was something he recorded in the states before leaving for Europe, I picked it up.

    Great record. One one side is the song "Googa Mooga" credited to L. Bennet. It's the same "Googa Mooga" that is on Freddie Roach's "Mo Greens Please" Blue Note LP. Very interesting to hear Lou with a real american rhythm section in his prime.

    I've just found the same disc on eBay !

    Damn. Busted.

    Thanks for your kindness :( !!
    I think Chaney said "Busted"

    cause you now know (from the link)

    that he really isn't 18.

    Now, for my being 17...:w

    Of course :D

    Hello everybody,

    I'm desperate to find information about the English jazz guitarist Terry Donoughue. He was married with the English actress Bertice Reading.

    I really appreciate how he played on 3 French albums :

    * Art Simmons - "Piano aux Champs-Elysées" (Art Simmons (p), Terry Donoughue (g), Bill Crow (b), Dave Bailey (d)). Recorded in 1956 in Paris.

    LP 10" BAM (Boîte à Musique) reissued on CD in the collection "Jazz in Paris" (Universal), you can listen extracts of this album on Amazon.com.

    -> This album on Amazon.com

    * Aaron Bridgers - "Music For Dreaming" (Aaron Bridgers (p), Terry Donoughue (g) & Herbert Marchl (b)). Recorded in Paris, 2nd half of the 1950s.

    -> Exists only on LP 12" GEM (Guilde Européenne du microsillon).

    * Art Simmons with Terry Donoughue, Bertice Reading (voc) and others.

    LP 10" BAM (Boîte à Musique) ?-1956

    My friend Art Simmons would love to talk to Terry Donoughue.

    Maurice Summerfield, specialist of jazz guitar, who is English, can't help.

    Please contact me if you can help.

    Thank you

    He also accompanied Jeanne Moreau on many titles.

    Bonsoir Claude,

    Yes, Bacsik came back in France in 1966 to record a whole album with Jeanne Moreau.

    The cineast François Reichenbach was there :

    Steven,

    Can you give any details (personnel, date, location) regarding the live recording which was released on LP on the Europa Jazz label (LP # 1047)? The only info I have, which I'm unsure about, is that it was from 1966, and George Arvanitas was on piano. The song titles are: one note samba, on green dolphin street, summertime

    Thanks

    Jim,

    On Summertime it is not Bacsik, it is the Coco Briaval Trio

    Coco Briaval on www.djangostation.com

    One note Samba and On Green Dolphin Street :

    Regarding to the archives of the INA (Radio and Television french archives) Samba de uma nota so was broadcasted in 'Jazz sur scène' the 14 august 1966 on the channel Paris Inter. The recording (of the concert?) was the 8 August 1966. About the musicians the INA only gives Georges Arvanitas on piano. I wanted to send him the recording of the concert but he died 2-3 months ago. But we could suppose Jacky Samson (b) and Charles Saudrais (dms). Nothing about the location, ?-salle Wagram.

    Best

    Steven
