It's hitting the Minneapolis jazz scene pretty hard. I just saw her a month ago when we were down at Jazz Central (NE Minneapolis jazz club) and she was her usual bubbly self. She was one of the best businesswomen in the Twin Cities, always hustling on the phone. Great singer and person. There will probably be a memorial in the near future, for all of the Minneapolis Organissimo fans. I Hope so. For all her German fans, I wrote her this http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Rosholt

The Jazz drummer, bandleader and music educator Clem DeRosa has died. He has worked with Charles Mingus and John LaPorta. see my obit in the German wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clem_DeRosa

What's the year, when the RKO-Unique-LP was published? (I think, it's the same label who edited the LP Mingus in Stuttgart 1964?)

Thanks... and who played with Glasel on the Columbia album Free Fall (1963)?

Do you know the other musicians playing on this record?

Johnny Glasel played in the 1940s with Bob Wilber and Sidney Bechet, in the 50s also with Bob Wilber's Ensemble The Six and with Bill Russo. Under his own name, he recorded several albums, most notably John Glasel Brasstet (1959), with Eddie Bert, Gene Allen, Louis Mucci, Jimmy Buffington, Dick Cary, John Drew und Ed Shaughnessy; the recordings were published 45 years later on Fresh Sound. Most prominent was his role on the Into the Hot-Session, where he' s been heard on three titles of John Carisi, published unter Gil Evans Orchestra: Into the Hot (Impulse). In his later years he has worked a session musician with John Denver, Walter Wanderley und Astrud Gilberto (I Haven't Got Anything Better to Do 1969), in the 1970s with Roberta Flack and Eddy Mitchell (Made in USA). see the complete article: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Glasel see also (but incomplete): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Glasel
