EKE BBB

No entries for both musicians playing together in any of the standard discographies.

Also missing trees, grass, woods, fresh air...

Yesterday evening, while doing my daily physical exercise in these lock-down days: followed by

Followed by

Particularly the February and April 1937 sides of the Claude Hopkins orchestra with Jabbo Smith. I'm on a Jabbo binge these days!!!

Agreed. Gorgeous date!

My goodness... this is "Willow Tree" from the March 27, 1928 session of the Lousiana Sugar Babes. Fats on organ, Garvin Bushell on clarinet, Jabbo Smith on cornet and the greatest of them all, James P. Johnson at the piano. Wonderful selection!

Thanks a lot for the background on the art gallery. Very interesting.

I'm in the middle of a Pee Wee binge!

While making some research in order to complete my Pee Wee Russell collection with some uncommon sessions, I came across this compilation on Atavistic label. It was originally released as a limited-edition audio companion piece for Corbett Vs. Dempsey's "Musician<->Artist" gallery opening in Chicago, December 3, 2004, under the name "Eye & Ear". It includes a wide range of music, from a Dave Coleman session from 1943 (with the likes of Dexter Gordon, Bill Harris or Herbie Steward!) to one Peter Brötzmann duo track with Han Bennink (2004). The Pee Wee Russell track dates from 1950, and is a duo performance of 'Jada' with pianist Michael Snow. Weird comp, for sure!
