Steve Gray

RIP I saw him with Frank Zappa as well. This was the night Frank was pushed off stage and badly injured.

The Fremeaux version is on YouTube and it IS the same as on the 'perfect complete' box https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UE_dipJt80&list=RD_UE_dipJt80&start_radio=1

I wonder if it is the version on disk 7 of this series, timing is 4:52 Charlie Parker perfect complete I have never come across this set before and have no discographical info Here it is on Discogs Discogs listing

Could you translate this for me please? Thanks

Thanks for that. I hadn't heard that explanation before. It's a great shame

I have long wondered what is so awful about the 1964 Live At Pep's session that it was rejected.

RIP Used to dance to this one when clubbing 60 years ago

What is the nature of the problem you are hearing? I didn't listen to it all but there were a lot of tinkling bells on one track I found irritating. Other than that it sounds ok on amazon music IMO

RIP Saw him in 1961 with Dizzy and Leo Wright. On the same bill as the Coltrane group with Dolphy

82 is the new 27

Ted heath has certainly recorded a lot, probably all, of those tunes including "Poppa ..." I presume they are all on the album pictured and the rest of it is all incorrect.

Near (?) miss - Barry Harris and Harry Barris

romualdo mentions that in his discographical info earlier in the thread. Love For Sale was originally on a Columbia LP compilation called Black Giants. Just want to say that the handover from Miles to Coltrane on Stella By Starlight is one of the most magical moments in recorded jazz for me 🙂

"Night Of The Cookers" wasn't very good sound-wise either.

RIP. Was Playing New York Scene yesterday... Only Sonny left now from the Art Kane photo

It's on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuctdfkQ_50

Kenny Burrell says here that he played with Parker

Have you actually emptied the trash? Putting something in the trash doesn't actually delete it in case you want to bring it back

It was on this tour that Louis recorded an episode of 'Desert Island Discs' for the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p009y1rb

This BBC film about Hifi in the UK in the 50s is hilarious all the way through and is well worth watching but it also contains a scene in HMV in Oxford Street of a row of booths with different music coming from each booth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9o_eZGaaMk The Hitchcock film was "Strangers On A Train"

Volume 8 is available. now, on Amazon music at least and I assume another platforms I am so glad that the series hasn't been abandoned

Unfortunately definitely the latter!

Nope

I well remember the review of Ole in Jazz Journal in, I guess, 1962 The reviewer unfavourably compared the playing of "George Lane" to Boyce Brown. Of course in those days we didn't know definitively who "George Lane" was and I am not sure that the reviewer had heard any of Eric's records.
