Rooster_Ties Posted October 28, 2003 Report Posted October 28, 2003 (edited) Wow, some excellent stuff to read, album covers (including repros of the back-covers in some cases), and some great pictures to see (especially in the case of Carmell). I'm afraid I'm a dumb-ass, cuz I've never heard of "Lou Bennett" before, should I have??? In any case, check 'em out!!! http://mitglied.lycos.de/condouant/CARMELL.html http://mitglied.lycos.de/condouant/LEO.html http://mitglied.lycos.de/condouant/LOU.html Edited October 28, 2003 by Rooster_Ties Quote

brownie Posted October 28, 2003 Report Posted October 28, 2003 I'm afraid I'm a dumb-ass, cuz I've never heard of "Lou Bennett" before, should I have??? A couple of Lou Bennett's albums have been mentioned on another thread. There's a nice Lou Bennett album that goes under the title 'Pentacostal Feeling' that came out in the Jazz in Paris series. Rene Thomas and Kenny Clarke, plus Donald Byrd (on some tracks) are on that one. Lou Bennett is also on Rene Thomas 'Meeting Mr. Thomas' from the same Jazz in Paris series. But Bennett's best album is the 'Amen' RCA album (with Jimmy Gourley, Jean-Marie Ingrand and Kenny Clarke) that is described at the site you mentioned. Quote
EKE BBB Posted October 28, 2003 Report Posted October 28, 2003 Re: Lou Bennett: He used to play regularly in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Salamanca). I saw him once (Salamanca, El Corrillo Club) a few years before his death in 1997. He was a good player and, from what I heard, a very nice human being. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted October 28, 2003 Author Report Posted October 28, 2003 (edited) A great picture from this site... Carmell with Charles Matthews in Kansas City, 1960 For Eric and Free For All (and anyone else who happens to be from Kansas City, or familiar with 18th & Vine), the small/short building immediately behind the mouthpiece of Carmell's trumpet -- is the only building still standing in that block. The photo was taken looking towards downtown (to the north-west of 18th & Vine), and that building was (as I undersand it) a barbershop - for years. I've read or heard that there was a pool-table in the back room of the barber-shop, and that musicians (including Charlie Parker) would often go there for chili and pool, after all the clubs wound down, around 4am most nights. Or at least that's what I've heard. Lots of other GREAT pictures of Carmell on the site: HERE Edited October 28, 2003 by Rooster_Ties Quote
