BillF Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 "Marcel the Furrier" (recorded by the Oscar Pettiford Sextet) is an intriguing title. But who was Marcel? Do I remember reading that he was a Belgian who supplied Bird when he was in Europe, or am I completely wrong about this? Anyone know?

Not as long as "Casablanca" and "Notorious" are shown. Also, never heard it myself and I can't find it on the Internet, but a friend once mentioned a Fugs tune titled (I think) "Squawk Man Meets The Lunatic Vagina."

Do I remember reading that he was a Belgian who supplied Bird when he was in Europe, or am I completely wrong about this? Anyone know? i have the explanation of this title, but infortunately only in french : Dans la session de 1954, un petit joyau : "Marcel The Furrier " avec un magnifique solo d'Al Cohn, précédé de celui de Tal Farlow qui est excellent. Ce titre a été écrit en hommage à Marcel Fleiss, un photographe français passionné de jazz. Un autre titre (" Burt's Pad ") est dédié à un autre photographe (Burt Goldblatt). this title was written for a french photograph named marcel Fleiss ( maybe fleiss means "furrier" in deutch ? ) an other title, " burt's Pad" is dedicated to a photograph: burt goldblatt. sorry for my english.
