Dmitry Posted August 9, 2004 Report Posted August 9, 2004 "Lee Wiley Sings / Lennie Tristano Plays", Allegro 4049 This 10-incher is on eBay right now. Anyone know what the story is with this record? A compilation or is this a part of the Mosaic set somehow or is it still only available on this slab of vinyl? Coincidentally, what other stuff was released on Allegro? Quote
brownie Posted August 9, 2004 Report Posted August 9, 2004 (edited) Don't think a minute Lee Wiley sings to Tristano's accompaniement! The Lee Wiley sides are from a session she did in May 1947 with an orchestra led by her then husband Jess Stacy. Session was made for the Majestic label. The Tristano sides date from October 1947 and his trio includes Billy Bauer and John Levy. Both sessions are out now on a variety of labels. The Tristanos were reissued on Savoy! Allegro was a label that came out in the early days of the LPs in the fifties. It recycled material from small labels. Other Allegro albums I have seen include ones from Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie and Buck Clayton. Just my opinion: not worth the money! Edited August 9, 2004 by brownie Quote
