sidewinder Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Slide Hampton/Joe Haider Big Band on Spanish MPS, 2LP set. Another new one. Dexter Gordon in the saxes. Stylistically not dissimilar to his later CBS album with Slide but even better. Edited June 21, 2019 by sidewinder Quote

JSngry Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 This is a really good record. I'm going to start looking for the Dover label. Quote

I assume they can be found individually in Jazz Monthly , but is there a source gathering all the 200ish 12" Esquire LPs release dates ? Quote

No source listing that I am aware of - Jazz Monthly and Gramophone are probably the best bet. The Monk is from 1955/56 (from an RVG master). 4 hours ago, HutchFan said: Good stuff!

I think I saw her live once, but IMHO she overdoes the piano a bit, very technical really, but maybe some pianists just think if the piano has 88 keys you have to play them all at once......, I like the piano more if it can also get out of the way, leaving space for the other musicians.....but if I here someone like Dorothy Donegan I always think I can imagine them as child wonders, beeing carried from one competition to the next, and then at some point they switch to "jazz"...... And maybe she was not presented were she expected to be presented, it was a small cellar club, fine but maybe not for her, she seemed to be a little lost and overdressed for that joint....... poor Mrs Donegan......

Yes, Dorothy Donegan on piano, with unnamed bass and drums. She does play a lot of piano. The album is okay. Quote
