No love for The Peacocks?

The video is a montage of clips that try to illustrate (but don't match) a track from a Vic Dickenson album on Vanguard!

He should consider himself lucky. A dangerous person of this kind could have had the bin Laden treatment!

Nice 7CD box from Sony France 'The Worlds of Stan Getz' just out: Good price from Amazon.fr Details in french and german!

Elvin Jones/Jimmy Garrison Sextet 'Illumination' (Impulse, mono)

There are a number of interesting items in that auction list. Hope they get in proper hands!

Grant Green 'Gooden's Corner' (BN/King Japan)

76 minutes of a concert from the November 1963 tour of the Middle East http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUAZT4-ufuA No indication of where or when this was broadcast. Probably taped in Beirut (because of the mix of French and arabic titles) near the end of the tour. Don't miss Billy Strayhorn playing 'Lush Life' at the end of the video (and Sam Woodyard blowing a kiss to Strayhorn at the end of the solo!).

Get the Trombones album if the condition (and price) is good. Love the music! The sound on the vinyl was superb, better than on the Mosaic set!

The record collection to end all record collections! Article in The Los Angeles Times today.

http://phfilms.com/index.php/phf/film/lambert_co/ Actually found the quote on this (interesting) site: http://forums.thefashionspot.com/f81/movie-stills-fashion-film-43011-64.html GA Russell asked: Do you think that this was Dave Lambert's last recording? His last recording seems to be his appearance on the Limelight album 'Charlie Parker Tenth Memorial Concert'

No Mobley fan should ignore it. Hank on 'Pennies from Heaven' is pure heaven!

Chris Connor 'Chris Craft' (Atlantic, mono, black label)

I have Skype. Have not really used it much but it worked fine whenever it was on!

Thanks for posting the film. Always wanted to see it. Here are some coments from filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker on the making of the video: Originally Posted by D. A. Pennebaker Dave Lambert had been a hero of mine ever since I left Chicago for New York in the forties, long before he’d begun the famous Lambert, Hendricks and Ross trio. He was an arranger for Gene Krupa, who, in addition to trumpeter Roy Eldridge and vocalist Anita O'Day, had these fantastic brass arrangements, which I still remember and have the 78's to prove it. Anyway, while we were building a studio on 45th Street for fledgling-film-company Leacock Pennebaker, Bob Van Dyke, our audio genius, introduced me to Dave, and got him to help us finish it. Dave, it turned out, was a first rate carpenter. When it came up that he had an audition at RCA for a new group to record songs he had just written, we went along with him and filmed the session. RCA decided not to go for it, and wiped the tapes, so we stuck our unedited film up on a shelf and left it there. Several months later, while helping someone fix a flat on the Merritt Parkway, Dave was hit by a car and killed. A few weeks later, Art De Lugoff from the Village Gate called and said he’d heard we had a film of Dave and could he show it at the wake. Nick Proferes and I spent that night editing and got him a print the next day. A few days later a reporter from German TV who’d seen it, came around and asked if he could take the film back with him, since Lambert was so well known in Europe. We gave him our print and forgot about it. Then letters started coming asking where to get the record. But there wasn’t any record, nor ever would be. All there was was this fifteen-minute film of a few incomplete rehearsals of songs that otherwise didn’t exist. It hit me that this was really what film should be doing, what I should be doing . . . recording people and music as a kind of popular history that might otherwise not exist. It was only a few weeks later that Albert Grossman walked into our office and asked if I was interested in making a film about his client, Bob Dylan. Shame on RCA for wiping the tapes
