sidewinder Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Ah, the wonders of the internet. We'd sell our grandmothers over here to have such fine music over the airwaves every day and not just on Friday at midnight. Just listening to Billie and Lester right now - great stuff ! Quote

7/4 Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Posted June 26, 2005 Elmo Hope 2-7 pm edst, 6/26/2005 WKCR.ORG Quote
sidewinder Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 Listened to most of that Elmo show en route to Newark yesterday. It included an interview with Bertha Hope, who gave some fascinating and very erudite insights into the circumstances of the music. Bertha also did a very nice gig at the Marriott Brooklyn (solo and quartet) on Friday night which I was fortunate to catch (quartet - Bertha Hope, Roni Ben-Hur, Walter Booker, Leroy Williams). Too bad that there wasn't better attendance from the NYC area though. Of particular note - that radio show also included an excerpt from one of Bertha's tapes of a club gig Elmo did back in 1958 in Vancouver with Harold Land, Scott LaFaro and Clifford Jarvis. Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 I didn't get to hear all, but during the discussion, I thought Lennie McBrowne was named as the drummer for that tape. Mike Quote
sidewinder Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 (edited) Michael - you are correct, it was McBrowne. There was another track played with Jarvis on drums during the discussion with Bertha, hence the name mix. I'm trying to recall the name of the Vancouver club - was it 'The Cellar'? (sounded something like this). Edited June 27, 2005 by sidewinder Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 Yes, the Cellar was a club in Vancouver late 1950s. Not to be confused with the Cellar Cafe in NYC (mid 1960s) nor the Cellar in Toronto (slightly later 1960s) nor the Cellar Door in Washington, DC (late 1960s-early 1970s)....... The Hope trio with LaFaro and McBrowne accompanied Sonny Rollins at the Jazz Workshop, SF in the first part of October 1958. When Rollins left, Harold Land came in. I can't confirm whether the Vancouver tape is from around that time or from earlier in 1958. Mike Quote
