Have These 5 Tadd Dameron Songs Been Recorded...

...Strata-East Album "A Fresh Viewpont" and Muriel Winston (Strata-East SES7411) and the artists - found through an AMG search - noted in parenthesis?

  • Never Been In Love (PerHusby-2003; Scott Robinson-2005 )
  • Weekend (Vanessa Rubin-1993)
  • I'm Never Happy Anymore
  • Love Took The 7:10 Tonight
  • The Happy Heart (Per Husby-2003)

Publisher for these songs is listed on the Winston album as Tadmal Music Publishng Co., and ASCAP is listed as the licensing group. All five are listed as collaborations w/one Irving Reid, of whom there is no mention on AMG. Anybody know anything about Mr. Reid?

Also, these songs have Dameron listed first on the songwriting credits (ie - by Tadd Dameron and Irving Reid), which may or may not indicate that he was the lyricist. Anybody know if Dameron ever applied his lyrical bent to actual lyric writing?

This album seems to have been the first presentation of these songs. It was co-produced by Winston & Bill Lee. Any idea how they found these tunes?

For that matter, does anybody know anything about Muriel Winston?

As always, thanks in advance!

According to Lord´s discography,

-Never been in love was also included in Wyatt Bull Ruther´s "Ruther IV" [Van-Los Music VLM3605] with Gerald Brashear (ts,cga). Frederico Cervantes (p,viola,tp) [aka Freddie Gambrell (p,viola,tp) ], Wyatt Ruther (b), Ron Floreno (d), recorded in North Vancouver, B.C., 1972

-there´s a song called Weekend in several albums (no indication if this is Dameron´s composition):

*Walter Wanderley - Kee-Ka-roo (1968) In fact it´s an unissued take from this session

*Tamba Trio/Four (1968) [A&M 3013]

*Hiroko Kobuku (1992) [JVC VICJ127]

*Marc Russo - The window (1993) [JVC 2035-2]

*Lenny Andrade and the Fred Hersch Trio - Maiden Voyage (1993) [Chesky JD113]

*Gilles Bernard - Mot (1997) [Efendi 005]

Never Been In Love is a very common tune title (see BMI or ASCAP). Can you verify that the Wyatt Ruther recording is the Dameron tune?

I'm Never Happy is on Benny Bailey: I Remember Love

Another Dameron/Reid tune is "Take A Chance On Spring" recorded by Sherri Roberts and by Husby.

Jim - have you already seen this? <http://www.jazzinchicago.org/Internal/Articles/tabid/43/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/385/InSearchofTaddDameron.aspx>
