king ubu Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 I found this disc in a store last week, never heard of it before, but as I enjoy the 56/57 big band of Dizzy's a lot, it was a no-brainer. Please let me know if you need my index-finger and the disc in order to make sure I didn't just download it. Here's the info I could get from the CD booklet: 1. Dizzy’s Business 4:21 (soloists: Gillespie, Henry) 2. Ann Gillespie 0:35 3. Night in Tunisia 10:21 (Morgan, Golson, Tom Bryant, Grey) 4. Anitra’s Dance 3:23 (Gillespie) 5. Begin the Beguine 7:41 (Kelly, Persip, Dizzy) 6. Ann Dizzy 0:13 7. Yesterdays 3:19 (Jimmy Powell) 8. Cool Breeze 11:55 (Grey, Dizzy, Billy Mitchell) 9. I Remember Clifford 3:59 (Dizzy) 10. False Start Groovin’ High 0:28 11. Groovin’ High 4:51 (Henry, Dizzy) 12. Whisper Not 5:02 (Dizzy, Henry, Golson, Kelly) 13. Doodlin 5:20 (Dizzy, Moore) 14. Hey Pete, Let’s Eat More Meat 13:58 (Dizzy, Powell, Grey, Kelly) with the soloists (listed above), we get: Dizzy, Lee Morgan (t), Al Grey, Melba Liston [she was there, must have, her being in the band is mentioned as one of Dizzy’s conditions to take this US State Dep. job at all] (tb), Jimmy Powell, Ernie Henry (as), Billy Mitchell, Benny Golson (ts), Pee Wee Moore (bari), Wynton Kelly (p), Tommy Bryant (b), and Charlie Persip (d) this means all we don’t know ist wo or three more trumpet players and one more trombone player Anyone has complete info for this release? It's a bit weird that the CD doesn't give it, as the liners are rather well-researched (or copied off someone?) giving historical background on how this band got together and where they went on tour, also giving info about all other known recordings... but then there's nothing specific about the music included. In case it matters, the disc is being distributed by BVHaast, hence it could be this weird OD label is Dutch, too? Quote
king ubu Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 Ok, seems this is just another portion of the well-known 1957 Chester, PA concert... the liners of this disc make mention of the Chester concert, but do NOT mention this disc having been taken from there, hence I didn't check the discographies... weird package! Here's the link to the Jazz Unlimited disc that contains another (mostly the same, alas - I've had this JUCD for years, it's great!) portion of the same concert: http://www.storyvillerecords.com/default.a...mp;state_2831=2 The full entry: Live "Club Bel-Aire", Chester, PA , June 15, 1957 Groovin' High (false start) BV Haast (Du)OD-001 [CD], Olfert Dapper 1 [CD] Groovin' High - - , Hindsight HCD282 [CD] Whisper Not Jazz Unlimited (Dan)JUCD2040 [CD], BVHaast (Du)OD-001 [CD], Olfert Dapper 1 [CD], Hindsight HCE283 [CD] A Night in Tunisia Anitra's Dance Jazz Hour JH1029 [CD], BVHaast (Du)OD-001 [CD], Olfert Dapper 1 [CD], Hindsight HCD283 [CD] Groovin' for Nat Jessica's Day Jazz Unlimited (Dan)JUCD2040 [CD], Hindsight HCE282 [CD] Tin Tin Deo Hindsight HCE282 [CD] I Remember Clifford Jordu That's All Dizzy's Blues Hindsight HCD283 [CD] Whisper Not Birks' Works Jazz Unlimited (Dan)JUCD2040 [CD], Hindsight HCE282 [CD] Tour de Force Hindsight HCD283 [CD] Begine the Beguine Jazz Hour JH1029 [CD], BVHaast (Du)OD-001 [CD], Olfert Dapper 1 [CD], Hindsight HCE282 [CD] Autumn Leaves Dizzy's Business Manteca Hindsight HCE283 [CD] Cool breeze A Night in Tunisia Dizzy's Blues Tour de Force You'll Be Sorry Flamingo Yo No Quiero Bailar Lovely One in the Window (I Love You Much too Much] Jazz Hour JH1029 [CD] Note: All titles from Jazz Hour JH1029 [CD] also on Lonehill Jazz (Sp)LHJ10107 [CD] How great it would be to have all of this concert in a well-done 2 or 3CD set!
