By my definition, even if it's one mic, it's a mix. You don't think they used a mixer for mono recordings? I did.

My guess: It was Vineger's date. He probably had some input on the mix.

I want to add Kansas City Suite by Benny Carter.

Hi romualdo, that can be found on You-Tube. When I was in Jr. High school (1962) I went to two Tapeings of the Steve Allen Show. Both were fantastic! Jerry Lewis was a guest on one show. He & Steve made a phone call to a Jewish Deli in Chicago to cater a Christmas party. It was great. Louie Nye was the guest on the other show. That may be the one where he auditioned over the phone as a nervous 19 year old singing "Where Or When". Amazing. The world needs more people like Steve Allen. He was also a TV inventor. Perhaps the wrong word. One effect his team did first was the Vaseline on the edge of the camera lens to get the dream look.

Not for me but quite interesting. He is clever. In the "Honeysuckle" piece the constant beat box is annoying.

hear hear Wishing the best for Mr. Brubeck and family.

Music by Joey Carbone Anyone know who played the tenor sax? Solo guitar?

She don't look little or green. She's new to me.

I could not disagree more. I love Steve Allen.

I collect everything that Albert Stinson played on.

The second chorus...I think you are talking about where it gets choppy (syncopated) then fast with some chromatics. For me, that's still in the swing idiom. The harmony is still consonant without any altered 5ths or 9ths. No tritone substitutes or other altered changes that I hear. I've listened twice now. No chromatically displaced melody or other altered melodic movement. It's complicated and fast moving as Ellington and B. Goodman used in their bands at the time but I think it's still completely in the swing idiom...and very enjoyable. Thanks for posting it.

I'd have to say no. A very nice performance but completely in the swing idiom.

I find no way to a page two. Perhaps still under construction.

Comments regarding Eric Dolphy or John Coltrane should be posted in threads devoted to their music.

Yes, he played a lot of notes. So did his hero, Art Tatum. I never heard of any musicians who worked with either complain about it :-) There is room in jazz for this way of playing. Not everyone can do it :-) Can you point out a wrong note? Perhaps Eric Dolphy played too many notes - or John Coltrane - or etc. BTW, the same had been said of Mozart :-)

ok, thank you :-)

Bert Wilson made a duo album with a piano player named "Art Tantrum". I don't see his name anywhere else.

I was walking down the street with Benny Harris trying to keep him from drinking. We read a newspaper headline and I gave up. Benny is crying and telling me about the first time he saw Louis. My memory is bad but I think he was telling me Louis was King of the Zooloos (sp?) and was on a horse. Benny got to talk to him. He was a child at the time.

Larry, can you give me the Argo or Roost record number? I will try to find out. The pic I found is black & white. It seems to be "Sonny Stitt Plays" Roost 2208 Covers are here. http://coverjazz.canalblog.com/archives/sonny_stitt/index.html

http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=8313720 This Jazz Row 3 CD set presents all the quartet recordings made by Sonny Stitt and Barry Harris together from 1975 to 1981, when their last encounter was taped (Stitt died in July 1982). Included are six complete, rare LPs, “My Buddy -Sonny Stitt Plays For Gene Ammons” (1975), “Blues For Duke” (1975), “Moonlight In Vermont” (1977), “Sonny Stitt In Style” (1981), “Sonny’s Back” (1980), and “Mellow” (1975). Most of these have only been previously issued on CD in Japan. These albums rekindled Sonny’s association with his old comrade Barry Harris. Two of the best bebop players ever, Stitt and Harris made an exceptionally good team. However, during the peak years of the bebop era, they only recorded together on one occasion: the 1958 quartet album “Burnin’”, issued under Stitt’s name.Features: Sonny Stitt alto and tenor sax Barry Harris piano, on all tracks plus: Sam Jones Leroy Williams Billy Higgins Reggie Workman Tony Williams George Duvivier Jimmy Cobb Ricky Ford Richard Davis Roy Haynes Jimmy HeathInformation: Total Time: 217:07 mins. - 40 tracks - Includes 24-page booklet Tracklisting: Cd1: Total Time: 71:35 01 You Can Depend On Me 7:13 02 Red Top 4:03 03 Exactly Like You 4:56 04 My Buddy 6:12 05 Confirmation 4:26 06 Blues For Brad And Kolax 7:05 07 C Jam Blues 6:10 08 I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good 8:01 09 Perdido 4:49 10 Blues For Duke 7:03 11 Don't Get Around Much Anymore 3:47 12 Satin Doll 7:45 cd2: Total Time: 75:35 01 West 46th Street 5:33 02 Who Can I Turn To? 4:24 03 Moonlight In Vermont 4:41 04 It Might As Well Be Spring #1 6:47 05 Constellation #1 3:34 06 Blues For Pcm 8:29 07 Western Style 4:46 08 I'll Walk Alone 5:39 09 Just You, Just Me 4:56 10 The Good Life 2:49 11 Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby? 5:02 12 Killing Me Softly With His Song 4:12 13 Eastern Style 3:39 14 Yesterdays 6:18 15 Flight Cap Blues 4:40 cd3: Total Time: 69:57 01 Canadian Sunset 6:00 02 Soon #1 6:16 03 It Might As Well Be Spring #2 3:28 04 Street Of Dreams 4:33 05 Soon #2 3:41 06 I Should Care 5:45 07 How High The Moon 6:34 08 A Sailboat In The Moonlight 6:46 09 If You Could See Me Now 4:56 10 A Cute One 7:48 11 Sonny's Bounce 4:54 12 Dodge City 4:37 13 Constellation #2 4:36

Charlie Parker recordings you shouldn't listen to? :-)

He should have hosted SNL and been on some talk shows. I hope this misunderstanding helps to make him more popular.

Dag Nabit and Boo Hoo. I'm glad he's well documented.

A place where I worked used J. Last records when repairing turntables (1986). We did not care what happened to the records.
