Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Duke Ellington Songbook (Speakers Corner) - LP 2 - w. Ben Webster & Stuff Smith

I've never come across the following on CD, tho perhaps they were reissued in Japan: Bucky Pizzarrelli and Bud Freeman: Buck & Bud (Flying Dutchman) Joe Albany: Portrait of an Artist (Musician) Vi Redd: Bird Call (UA)

I have about 2/3 of this on a couple of Spotlite LPs - Al Haig Meets the Master Saxes Vols. 1 & 2. There may have been a third volume in this series.

Happy birthday, Shawn!

I'm guessing that this is a reissue of a Flying Dutchman LP which reissued sides originally recorded for the Signature label in 1943. The Hawkins recordings date from 12/8/43 and 12/23/43. The Young recordings (originally issued under Dickie Wells' name) were recorded on 12/21/43. The Signature LP I have contains 12 cuts - one of which is a previously unreleased alternate of I'm Fer It Too. Don't know if your CD contains additional material. In case the Japanese CD doesn't list personnel in English: Bill Coleman: tpt; Andy Fitzgerald: clt; Coleman Hawkins: tnr; Ellis Larkins: pno; Al Casey: gtr; Oscar Pettiford: bs; Shelly Manne: dms. Voodt; Hawkins' Barrel House; How Deep Is the Ocean; Stumpy - 12/8/43 Coleman Hawkins: ts; Eddie Heywood: pno; Oscar Pettiford: bs; Shelly Manne; dms. Crazy Rhythm; Get Happy: Sweet Lorraine; The Man I Love - 12/23/43 Bill Coleman: tpt; Dickie Wells: tbn; Lester Young: ts; Ellis Larkins: pno; Freddie Greene: gtr; All Hall; bs; Jo Jones: dms. I Got Rhythm; I'm Fer It Too; Linger Awhile; Hello Babe - 12/21/43 If this is what's on your CD, I hope the info helps.

Time to give this one another listen.

Damn! You must have thought you died and went to heaven! Even back then it must have been a big, BIG deal.

CD Universe has a 2 CD set listed.

Hey - at least that's something.

Up. Anything? Anyone?

Lester Bowie: The One and Only LP from All the Magic (ECM)

Have a great one, Lon!

I've heard of the Canadian pianist Al Neil, but have never heard his music. I know that he is also a visual/mutimedia artist. There's a 2 CD set on Blueminor with recordings from the 60's, but those are the only available recordings I know of. Is there anyone here who is familiar with his music, has heard the Blueminor set, anything? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

This thread has deteriorated into something out of the National Enquirer (if that rag is still in business) or the Star.

Unfortunately, there are no new blues acts that anyone must hear.

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

Well, if you NEED a new t-shirt, I often find that CDs aren't a sufficient substitute. MG I have a friend who's a fanatical record/CD buyer. When he was a lot younger, he was going to a wedding and needed a new suit. He asked his mother to lend him the money for one, and her reply was, "Wear your records."

All I can say is that whenever I've listened to Sun Ra's (and Cecil Taylor's) music, I've never once thought about their sexual preferences.

Billy Butler passed away in 1991.

Leiber & Stoller's/The Coasters: "Poison Ivy" cuz I picked up a case of it working in the yard last week.

The guitar part on "Chain of Fools"

Jackie McLean - LP 5 - the Consequence session

Bob Dylan: The Times They Are A-Changin' (Columbia mono) - I remember hearing Bob Dylan sing "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" on a television program in 1964. The power of that song is still there for me.

I'd be right behind you. Unfortunately the closest we'll probably get to that is his Blues Is King recording, according to the liner notes, "recorded in a Chicago club on the night of November 5, 1966". I've always felt that it's a much better record than the acclaimed Live at the Regal.

Guitar Nubbit: Re-Living the Legend! (Matchbox) - 45 rpm LP with much better sound than the Wolf CD which followed it a few years later - tho the CD has several extra Nubbit tracks and recordings by Alabama Watson on it.
