Dan Gould Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Well there is a dedicated youtube thread ... Too bad the person didn't put up the whole video; its a cool one with Barney Kessel and KB. Gambit, one of those Lonehill type labels, has put this tune onto a Barney Kessel release, Live in Los Angeles that is quite nice for guitar fanatics.

I would rather see Green in B&W in the 60's with a trio. *Theres also a nice version of Sunny, by Pat Martino with Joey D on youtube.

BFrank Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Lots of great stuff here: Belden Video Network. Includes the GG/Burrell/Kessel jam called - "GG-KB-BK-London-69.m4v". You get to guess at who all the videos are by their initials - in most cases, pretty obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim R Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I think it's great that we have that KB/BK/GG video as a keepsake, but I kind of cringe a bit every time I watch it. I didn't think any of the three was particularly "on" in that performance, they didn't gel too well when trading solos, and to top it off, the ending was rather weak, imo.

MG MG could you give some info in regards to what kind of situation this footage was first aired on. ie-was it as a musical interlude on say a UK chat or variety format where they crossed to the Ronnie scott club or something, or was it part of a music programme that featured more of the performers....I have always been wondering how this performance was originally presented....any info would be greatfully appreciated Also in the Grant biography by Sharony Andrews Green I think it mentions that some Grant performances may have been documented on African American community TV stations during the early seventies in different contexts, I definitely remember reading about musicians talking about this kind of thing somewhwere.

It was a programme in the BBC's regular TV jazz series "Jazz 625" (625 referring to the number of lines on the screen). The material came from a guitar workshop from a Jazz festival called "Jazz Expo" or maybe "Jazz Expo '69", held in London. The programme was made up of some of the musicians at that festival. Very generous of the BBC to devote 40 or so minutes to showing bits of a week-long festival! As I recollect, the video posted here is all the GG that was shown. No memory survives of who else was on the programme or at the festival - I was only watching because of GG. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Nice little video. I think MG is correct. There was certainly one or maybe even two 'Great Guitars' segments in th Jazz Expo concert series. I can't recall if I saw this one or not. I only disposed of a Jazz Expo programme recently. A shame in the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame in the circumstances. Not to worry, John. My archive of complete 60's 'Jazz Monthly's' is useful in such circumstances. In October's edition under 'coming events' it says: 'Jazz Expo '69 ''' October 27th 8pm. 'Guitar Workshop' with Barney Kessel, Tal Farlow, Grant Green etc. Newport All-Stars featuring Ruby Braff, Red Norvo etc., Dakota Staton. Sarah Vaughan and Maynard were featured on the 25th Oct. Hamp was featured on the 26th with Red Norvo and Gary Burton and that gig also had The Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band. October 28th had Louis Jordan, Bill Coleman and Albert Nicholas. Oct 29th had Hamp, Teddy Wilson and Ben Webster. October 30th had Albert King, Otis Spann, John Lee Hooker and Champion Jack Dupree, Monk and Cecil Taylor were featured on October 31st and Miles, Mary Lou Williams and John Hendricks were featured on 1st Nov. Venue for all of the above was the venerable Hammersmith, Odeon. (in fact this was Miles last UK appearance until 1982, when he was back at Hammersmith (remember it well ).

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I was......erm -8 then Was Ray Charles using Don Wilkerson in those days? Andy Yes. Have you got the CD "Genius + Soul = Jazz Live" done at the Paris Olympia in Oct '61? Don is on that and takes a beautiful solo on "Come rain or come shine", which is not only the best solo he's ever done but, in my view, one of the ten great tenor solos ever.
