This Swedish sessions were circulating among collectors but, to my knowledge, were never commercially issued: DON BYAS AT NALEN With JAN JOHANSSON Reference: RIV-130740 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED - INCLUDES 2 BONUS TRACKS "Nalen, in Stockholm, was for many years one of Sweden’s most wellknown dance and cabaret venues. In the larger room there was non-stop dancing to the music of two big orchestras and sometimes dance- demonstrations or even competitions. The smaller room at Nalen was called Harlem. That stage presented amateur cabaret mixed with professional artists but most often concerts with local jazz musicians, sometimes performing with solo artists and even with entire jazz ensembles most often from U.S.A. ... The musicians that played with Byas that winter of 1962 were ordinarily members of Arne Domnérus Octet, which was one of our house bands at that time... These live recordings went missing soon after they were recorded in 1962. Resurfacing now, they include about 30 minutes of music from one of his concerts, recorded by me. Later I found a recording made by the Swedish Radio which was recorded only five days after mine (I´ll Remember April) in such extraordinary musically quality that I just had to include it on this album. You’ll find the late great Jan Johansson on piano, Georg Riedel on bass, and Egil Johansen on drums. YOU WILL ALSO FIND two bonus tracks from the legendary concert in Town Hall, NYC, from june 9, 1945; the classic duo with Slam Stewart on bass in I Got Rythmn and Indiana."

Have you changed jazz for elevator music? That's not good for health, man!

From the RedHotJazz group:

I posted your query/suggestion in the RedHotJazz list... But no replies so far.

Thanks for the clarification, ValerieB. I received this from Steve Voce via the duke-lym list.

Clark Terry's wife Gwen has posted the latest news:

I'll be in Vienna for the "expanded" weekend. I would appreciate any recommendations on jazz spots: jazz clubs, concerts, CD/LP jazz stores... Many thanks in advance! Agustín

I don't recall posting the above, but I have to wonder why I am now—six years later—writing notes for the complete King Jazz boxed set (5 CDs) Have I entered the twilight zone? Anyway, the release of that box set, and your writting of the liner notes is really good news!

Just received an email from David Sager announcing this upcoming reissue of the complete output of the Wolverines, including the Jimmy McPartland sides: The Complete Wolverines: 1924-1928 Coming April 10 Archeophone Records website

'Bout time SWR radio did something with their "Treffpunkt Jazz" and other jazz concert performances that have taken place at their premises for decades. Just checked their website but so far only the big, bigger, biggest names have been graced with a release. Whereas they could have done SO much to further the discography of German jazz greats (or "Eurojazz" in general) too. Thanks anyway for mentioning this label. I totally subscribe your opinion! Meanwhile, I'll order the Benny Goodman feat. Anita O'Day as well...
