That’s right. I don’t think those Blakey Prestiges and Roulettes got a release over here apart from ‘Gypsy Folk Tales’, which almost seemed like a comeback. The only Blakey releases I remember seeing around that time are the ones on Sonet (‘The Bop Session’ and ‘In Walked Sonny’).
If I remember correctly Russ Freeman and Gene Norman also took part. Other forums had Buddy Collette, Laurie Pepper, Bud Shank and a number of others. Priceless !
The two who really stood out for me were Stan Levey and Russ Freeman.
Interesting..
If that is the case - Mr Queen is well out of it, their loss. He is certainly appreciated here in Europe - and long may that be the case. Fortunate to catch him with Msrs Tolliver, Cowell, Harper and McBee several years ago in London.
