    Ruby Braff

    Picking up this old thread... You can't go wrong with Ruby. His level was so consistent from his earliest leader dates in 1954 to his late years! His tone was one the most beautiful sounds ever taken out from a cornet, and his mastery in the lower register was unparalleled. God bless the old grumpy up there at the right side of Satchmo! As for recommendations, if you don't have any prejudice against this label, pick "The Complete Bethlehem Recordings" (Solar) which includes: *Ruby Braff Quartet Swings *Ball at Bethlehem with Braff *Holiday in Braff *Bud Freeman Quintet with Ruby Braf (part of it, just 5 tracks) and *The Ruby Braff Special

  12. I guess in 1962 Jan Johansson wasn't as "far out" yet (comparatively speaking) as he was later in the 60s. His "Domnerus period" (see Dragon DRCD 186, for example) sounds relatively straightforward and in keeping with modern mainstream jazz of that period to me. @EKE BBB: What site would you recommend for purchaing within Europe? An Amazon search drew a blank. Jazz Messengers in Spain. Yes, my experience with them (shipping to Spain) has always been positive.
  13. So... no love for Carlos Wesley?
  14. 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."
