Clarke-Boland Big Band - En Concert avec Europe 1

[Dmitry]

Got this terrific 2fer, but the discographical info is a bit scarce. Anybody know what was the recording location?

[Dmitry]

Got my answer - Théâtre National Populaire [T.N.P.] in Paris

[sidewinder]

You just beat me to it. Recorded 29th Oct 1969 according to this mighty fine site:

Clarke/Boland Discog

En Concert Avec Europe 1 Disc 2

1.The James' Are Coming (7:17)

That should be "The JamFS are Coming", I think.

Thanks for the info, sidewinder!!!!!

[sidewinder]

No problem, Dmitry. That site is a treasure-trove of CBBB information.

Yes, 'The Jamfs are coming' it is. If my memory is correct, 'Jamf' is a 'term of endearment' used by Johnny Griffin. B-)

Informatively, the TNP is no longer. It is now the Theatre National de Chaillot inside the Palais de Chaillot which is located opposite the Eiffel Tower on the right bank of the Seine river. The Chaillot Theater housed the Theatre National Populaire from 1951 to 1972.

The Palais de Chaillot which also housed the French Cinematheque when it was headed by Henri Langlois was also the home of the United Nations for a while in 1948 before the UN headquarters moved to New York City!

[Dmitry]

Thanks again, friends!!!

[ghost of miles]

This is indeed a fine CD. I've been listening to it b/c I'm prepping a Clarke-Boland big-band show... will definitely tap this concert for a couple of tracks.

[sidewinder]

Just giving the 'Laserlight' issue of these CDs a spin (I think it cost £4.99 - a bargain !). Will look forward to that programme on the CBBB, Ghost.

Indeed: Jive-assed-m.....-f.....!

[JSngry]

In Amurrca, it's "jive-ass", not "jive-assed", and the hyphen is optional, at best.

Just so you know.

He wore some mf pants too on the bus! (Or so Monk tghought!)

[jazzbo]

This really is a great two cd set; I'm going to have to spin my Europe 1 version again soon.

There were apparently a few or more broadcasts from this band that should be out there somewhere, though I've never seen or heard one. . . more's the pity.
