Glad to have this material called out...I'm a big fan but was totally unaware of this material. Thanks!

Ed Flesh - Moppin' Up After Hours!!!

Anybody who who the tenor player is in Lucky Millinder's band who holds his horn at an abngle like Lester Young and plays an entry-level version of same? It's 1939.

Albertson was born in Reykjavík, but his father left the family before he was a year old. Yvonne, his mother, married three more times.[1] He was educated in Iceland, Denmark and England before studying commercial art in Copenhagen. In 1947, while living in Copenhagen, Albertson listened by chance to a Bessie Smith recording on radio; it led to an abiding interest in jazz and blues music. "We found magic in such names as Kid Ory, King Oliver, Johnny Dodds, Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey", he wrote on his Stomp Off blog in 2010.[1] On his home tape machine, Albertson recorded visiting British New Orleans revivalists Ken Colyer, Chris Barber and Lonnie Donegan in 1953. These recordings were subsequently released on the Danish Storyville Records and British Tempo Records labels.

Iceland, it was.

So, what are you doing the rest of your life?

Ed Flesh - Cleanup on Aisle Seven

I really like the one she did with Herbie Hancock. The one with Gil Evans was not bad at all as well. She seems to have had excellent and/ or well-funded management to go along with her not-inconsiderable skills. I wonder how/if her and Helen Merrill might have networked?

Ah...so already looking up AND living! Not as easy as it sounds!

Was it on Sunday morning? Why weren't you in church?

It was a good set. I just wonder where Membrane got their source material. They're not an outfit I associate with doing their own work, especially not on this scale. But who knows?

Not really a "film", just a survived TV show footage, which I guess is film, just not A film, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, that one is priceless.

otoh, I don't know that Henny Youngman got the respect to which he was fully entitled.

From where did Membran get it, though? Did they do their own work on that set?

Do you know her catalog well? I've heard, like 3-4 records, always with Americans in the mix somewhere, and like her pretty well. Don't know this one, though.

Chubby Jackson and Dave Tough/Don Lamond kicked themHerman Herds' asses. maybe more than did Jake Hanna and Chuck Andrus. I do, however, suspect them of having been white. But that's ok, an ass kicked has no color. Still, Chubby Jackson's "shouts of encouragement" were just weird - and wired.

"live and let live" indeed.

Cheating now...Bill Easely is a name I tend to ignore, but every time I hear him, I kick myself doing so. Same thing here. Ok, Benny Waters comes by it more than honestly!

Well. no, not when you can use Paris as a backdrop for a story that takes place in, uh, Paris. It was otherwise an American movie all the way, United Artists the studio, Sam Shaw producer, Martin Ritt director.

Was McCoy's wife his business manager, at least at some point? Seems like I heard that back in the day?

Wired, like, say, over caffeinated. That Uptown issue is full of that. Great record, but Chubby as cheerleader...on a par with Jarrett's moaning, imo.

Stranger On The Shore Strangers In The Night All The Lonely People

Wired.

It should have been a Jimmy Smith album, but then it wouldn't have gotten made, period. So it ends up being what it is, which is a record of Monk playing quite well with am L.A. studio band playing kinda rush-job sounding Oliver Nelson charts. Not that it was without influence, though!
