Dmitry Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 I was just checking out Mal's discography and ... I wouldn't be surprised if noone else had done more recordings in Japan than him. There must be at least 20-30 sessions. How come? Quote
John L Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 Mal really loved Japan. And they loved him too. I don't know anything else about it. Quote
brownie Posted December 21, 2004 Report Posted December 21, 2004 Did not bother to count but Hank Jones also recorded a lot of sessions in Japan! Quote
Nate Dorward Posted December 21, 2004 Report Posted December 21, 2004 ...I assume we're excluding Japanese players... Quote
Cyril Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 I was just checking out Mal's discography and ... I wouldn't be surprised if noone else had done more recordings in Japan than him. There must be at least 20-30 sessions. How come? The late Mal Waldron's wife is a Japanese and he loved Japan. (Living in Brussels she was a photographer). Mal told me often, his wife was very jealous.... Mal loved the Japanese history, etc. etc. Quote
marcello Posted January 9, 2005 Report Posted January 9, 2005 Don't forget that most artists record FOR Japan and not always IN Japan. Avatar Studios, in New York, one of the busiest studios, has Japanese owership so a lot of the recording is done there fro their market. As a example, this one by Joe Locke and Geoff Keezer, Summer Knows, on Eighty- Eights/Sony. Quote
