Is there anyone who can give me the recording dates for the six tunes that are on the accomp. CD in the Svend Asmussen biography "June Nights"

You're right - it was originally a a session for United Artists (UAJ 14003). The 1959 info seems to be wrong.

I do have some problems finding the right information about the Bill Evans-Jim Hall "Undercurrent" recordings. I do have a Blue Note CD 790583 (prob. part of a Spanish Time Life box) with these "Undercurrent" recordings. The liner notes give 24th April and 14 May 1962 as the recording dates. In "The Blue Note Label - A Discography" this sessions aren't mentioned, except that two titles "Dream gypsy" and " My Funny Valentine' are listed for 15 May 1959 (!) In the online "Blue Note Discography" I even can find any info about these sessions between 1958 and 1962. Who can help me with the correct dates?

Thanks Marty and Michael.

Who can give me the exact date of the Münich "Final Concert Recording" of Stan Getz and Kenny Barron summer 1990 as released on Eagle Records EDGCD117?

Saskia Laroo Can someone give me the recording date of Saskia Laroo's "Jazzkia" CD? (Laroo Records SL9901)

Dear John, I received my copy of BFT #26 yesterday (May 28th). What a service !! Thanks !! I'll wait with the discussion until you give the starting shot.

I received my copies today. Thanks !!

I'd love to receive # BFT 26. I hope this time it will work fine, as I'm still waiting for my BFT #25 CDRs that are still on their way to find the most remote parts of the world, e.g. The Netherlands.

I'd love to join the discussion, but ..... sorry. I still haven't seen BFT # 25

So do I (snifff)

I feel sorry that I still haven't received my copy.

Thanks Couw for your suggestions. I'll post the results later on my website. If you want to be informed send me your email address and i'll forward you the news letter.

Thanks Couw, Great !! First of all I'm very happy with the sites where I can find online Dutch newspapers. This is a great source to find information. Thanks for the tour dates. As the article suggests they played from 14th up to the 18th of December 1933 in different venues through the country. Then they have two days off and on the 21st they perform again in The Hague. I do have a private recording by Josephine Baker en haar 16 Baker Boys, recorded on Dec. 19th. That's one of her days off. I wonder ...... where was this recorded. Could it have been a radio program? Is there an online archive where I can find if a radio program was sceduled? Due to the critics in the news paper I don't think the program was transmitted. Thanks again, Couw !!

1. I'd like to have the dates of Josephine Baker's revue touring through Europe and Egypt between October 1933 (London) and her return in Paris around spring 1934. I know the revue was in Amsterdam Dec. 14th 1933. Where were her 16 Baker Boys on Dec. 17th? 2. Can someone give me the names of the 16 Baker Boys present during that tour and can someone give me a (scan from) a program. Keep swinging Hans Koert El redescubrimiento de Oscar Aleman project

Has someone the (email) address of Ean Wood, author of the 2000 "Josephine Baker Story"?

I'd love to have scans from the 1938 HMV X-6213 Copenhagen solo guitar recordings made by Oscar Aleman. Can someone send me a label scans from both sides of the record?

Can someone tell me in what place / country the Josephine Baker and her 16 Baker Boys was performing with her revue around December 1933?

I'd like to know what bands is on the recording "Ingin' the Ooh" (date July 9th, 1954). Musicians are Culley, Jones, Newman on trumpets, Coker, Hughes and Powell on tyrombone, Royal and Wilkins on alto and Weiss on tenor sax. I guess it might be Count Basie's? What's the band name?

Two days ago Jimmy Woode died of cancer. Two great double bass players died this month. Last week Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and yesterday Jimmy Woode. One-and-a-half year ago I heard 75 years old Jimmy Woode playing like a young man, in a great concert with the great vocalist Roberta Gambarini. If you love to see some images from the concert: Two great double bass players !! Link to the concert I visited Jimmy Woode was a great double bass player. Former Ellington bassist James Bryant Woode, who began his professional career in 1946 with his own band died yesterday in his home at Lindenwold, NJ from cancer. Among his early musical associates were Nat Pierce, Flip Phillips and Zoot Sims, and he was also accompanist to Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. In the early 50s Woode was a member of the house band at George Wein's Storyville Club in Boston, where he played with numerous visiting jazz stars. By 1955 his reputation was such that he was invite to join Duke Ellington, a job he held for five years ("5 years, 4 months, 2 weeks and 2 days"). After leaving Ellington he settled in Europe (first in Sweden), later on becoming a member of the Clarke-Boland Big Band throughout most of its existence (1961-70). A solid section player, Woode continued drawing the respect of his fellow musicians till the near end. James Bryant Woode, born September 23, 1928 in Philadelphia, PA, died April 23, 2005 in Lindenwold, NJ

Thanks Michael for your wise words. Unfortunally I don't have the possibility to consult this book or CD-Rom here in the rural territories in the south-west part of the Netherlands five feet below sea level and I can't afford to buy myself a copy. I hope some nice friends will help me, every now and then, if I'm asking for a "date".

Sure: about twenty, excluding all the online discos ...... I even wrote four of them myself :-) but no one that has this information in it.

Thanks Brownie !! Great !
