It works for me

That was a good move! I was expecting someone would follow with the obvious "the Ugly".

Bnny Goodman The Good The Bad

Both Fantasy twofers are highly recommended for sure, ubu! I'd also want to praise his earlier work, available on Classics CDs, both as a big band leader and as a fine stride pianist. And, as Hans has pointed out, those Galaxy discs were not recorded at the Roseland Ballroom and the Cotton Club. Same for many other Galaxy bootlegs. BTW, nice post on Claude Hopkins on your Keep Swingin' blog!!!

Tonight: Canal Street Jazz Band at the Café Populart (Madrid). Trombonist Jim Kashishian rules!

It's coming to Barcelona in the summer. Under brownie's recommendation, I hope to catch it on September!

Of course. Brain fart on my part. Hibbler didn't join until after the recording ban, I think. Nice to know the Anderson stuff will be there. Did Duke have a male vocalist in the 30s? I can't remember. I'm pretty sure that Ray Nance and Herb Jeffries didn't join until around 1940. greg mo Yes, Ray Nance replaced Cootie Williams in early November 1940 and Al Hibbler joined in mid-1943. Amazingly good news re: the 30's big band sides!

Good news for David (& others) Storyville just reported that the Treasury Shows #14 CD is to be released this year and the Cotton Club broadcasts in 2010.

Bobby Henderson - A home in the clouds (Chiaroscuro) vinyl (no CD reissue yet) Oh, and I finally decided to get the Archeophone reissue of the King Oliver 1923 recordings. Superb sound restoration!

Thanks a lot, jazztrain. I just replied to your PM. Regards, Agustín

Howard Alden is present in a high percentage of the best mainstream recordings from the last 15-20 years. His name is a life-insurance of good jazz!
