Swinging Swede

But do you have this?

Carling Family - Muskrat Ramble 9-year-old Gunhild Carling on trombone A year after this clip the youngest son Ulf joined the group on drums at the age of 6. There are numerous clips of the Carling family through the years on YouTube. Here, over twenty years later, is Gunhild Carling with the Count Basie Orchestra in 2005: Gunhild Carling with The Count Basie Orchestra - One O'Clock Jump

I don't know what to say after that...

Sugar Chile Robinson - Numbers Boogie Robinson was 6 years old in the first clip, a few years older in the second.

Maybe he was banned and went to AAJ.

Off the list he goes then! Here are some musicians/bands from the 78 era, who recorded numerous sessions, but only for one label. McKinney’s Cotton Pickers (Victor) [under that name at least] Putney Dandridge (Vocalion) Boots And His Buddies (Bluebird) Al Cooper’s Savoy Sultans (Decca) Skeets Tolbert And His Gentlemen Of Swing (Decca) Harlan Leonard And His Rockets (Bluebird)

OK, here are some more: Ted Heath (everything on English Decca, right?) Jimmy Cleveland (4 albums for EmArcy/Mercury) Tina Brooks (4 albums for Blue Note) Leon Spencer (4 albums for Prestige) Dolo Coker (4 albums for Xanadu) Rampart Street Paraders (3½ albums for Columbia) Ernie Henry (3 albums for Riverside) [or maybe 2½] Sam Lazar (3 albums for Argo) The Three Souls (3 albums for Argo) Sandy Mosse (2 albums for Argo) Billy Ver Planck (2 albums for Savoy) Evans Bradshaw (2 albums for Riverside) Modern Jazz Disciples (2 albums for New Jazz) JFK Quintet (2 albums for Riverside) Fred Jackson (2 albums for Blue Note [one unissued at the time]) [deleted from the list: Kenny Cox, Montego Joe, Freddie McCoy & Azar Lawrence]

Regarding The Complete Ellington Indigos on Jazz Beat, I did some research on what's on it and posted my results last month in another thread: The Complete Ellington Indigos (Jazz Beat)

What happened to the many uploaded images in this thread? Did they go missing in an upgrade? Can they be restored? There was some great stuff here.

It's Willie "The Lion" Smith this thread isn't about, not Willie Smith, who is an alto saxophonist.

My worry wouldn't be that it isn't legitimate, but that a CD-R won't last as long as CDs. I've had several CD-Rs go bad within a few years, but even my earliest CD from 1983 plays fine. Another label to add to the list is Sounds of Yesteryear. They have a rather large number of releases in the last few years, rare but good-sounding live recordings from the Swing Era for example. I had already bought some titles, when I realized that they are CD-Rs. They are however advertised as CDs in all Internet shops, which I simply think is wrong.

This release has been discussed in two threads before: Blue Note Reissues for 2008 & Japanese releases 2008 Kevin B even posted the liner notes. The recording is in stereo and taken from tapes in the Columbia vaults! Here is the cover: You can listen to sound samples on the Amazon page. And I agree that the presence of Louis Smith is one of the main points of this release. With his own two Blue Note albums also coming out this year, 2008 seems to become a Louis Smith year!

I remember someone writing about the Goodman band in the 30s that it was the horn sections that swung rather than the rhythm section. There may be something to that.

I've had the CD for probably about 15 years, at least well over 10, so 2005 must be a re-pressing date. It may have been out of print before that. There haven't been any new Cool & Blue titles since the mid-90s anyway. Usually they regularly start up new labels, but Cool & Blue for some reason has been abandoned. As for the sound I'll have to listen to it again and post my impressions later. I seem to remember that it wasn't Mosaic quality, but if the 2005 edition has been newly remastered, it doesn't matter how the 1992 version sounds anyway.

I have the Cool & Blue CD which came out already in 1992 (When did the Mosaic come out?). The last three tracks are from an all star session at Carnegie Hall. Here's the jazzdisco.org info: The Stars Of Modern Jazz Miles Davis (tp) Bennie Green (tb) Sonny Stitt (as) Serge Chaloff (bars) Bud Powell (p) Curly Russell (b) Max Roach (d) 'The Stars Of Modern Jazz', "Carnegie Hall", NYC, December 25, 1949 Symphony Sid's Remarks IAJRC 20 Move IAJRC 20; Jass JCD 16 Hot House - Ornithology (inc.) - * Various Artists - Stars Of Modern Jazz Concert At Carnegie Hall (IAJRC 20) * Various Artists - Carnegie Hall X-Mas '49: Charlie Parker And The Stars Of Modern Jazz At Carnegie Hall (Jass JCD 16) I also have that Jass CD which has the complete concert, or at least what survives from it. 75 minutes with the Bud Powell Trio, the aforementioned all star session including Miles, Stitt and Chaloff, Stan Getz-Kai Winding Quintet, Stan Getz Quartet, Sarah Vaughan, Lennie Tristano-Lee Konitz Sextet, and last, but not least, five tracks with the Charlie Parker Quintet with Red Rodney. This is one of the great concerts in jazz history and I highly recommend the Jass CD (which is OOP), or some other later release of the same material.

Sandy Brown was a male jazz musician, and I've heard Randy for a female. And then there's Stan Tracey...

You're right; a Google search confirms that. So she is today's Harry Carney!

That would be Interpretations #3, so it's obviously taken from the Japanese CD.

Interpretations #3 was reissued on CD in Japan in 2004, and of course the few tracks from these sessions that were on At The Shrine and Stan Getz And The Cool Sounds are on the respective Verve CDs. Classics is close to having covered it all. The latest Getz volume, 1954, ended with the Shrine session, so only the last session (9 November 1954) remains, and will open the next volume. It's possible that Classics has better sound than Definitive but I haven't been available to compare. So, to answer your question, yes, at the moment the Definitive set is the only way to get it all. It also includes the rare first Getz-Brookmeyer session from 16 April 1953. It was released on a 10" LP, but when the 12" era came around it was lost in the shuffle, and only one of four tracks made it to Stan Getz And The Cool Sounds. It would have been a natural to include the other three on the CD reissue of Stan Getz And The Cool Sounds, but it was in the LPR series, and by that time Verve had abandoned adding bonus tracks. The sound on the Definitive set is not the greatest, but at least it's all there until something better comes along. It's incomprehensible that Verve hasn't done something with these fine recordings a long time ago.

OK then! WGM & IM Elina Danielian, Armenia, 2480!

chewy doesn't know his west coast jazz apparently!
