------------------------

you guys know, from the hank mobley discography website, that these two horace silver events are documated on some sort of reel to reel style tape recording.

the guy who has either it, or a copy of it, is in JAPAN. back in the early days of the internet i communicated with him. His repsonses were always very short or terse, every now and then revealing a shred of information, in small gulps. like one sentance per email. finally i squeezed out of him his (i assume) whole mobley list. these items were upon it.

Tosiyuki Nomoto - 07/13/99 10:49:50 that his name and last time he emailed me: have you ever heard of this dude?

That second recording was a radio broadcast "Bandstand USA", the announcer certainly sounds like Alan Grant. All things considered, sound is just a B because of some interference but still very listenable. The Red Hill Inn was just over the river from Philly in NJ. Best track is Doodlin' because they stretch out a tiny bit more (5 minutes vs 3 for the other tunes).

Would be cool to have the Philly recording.

okay okay that is disappointing to me in a way that its a radio b'cast, beacuse i want to hear Hank strech out. I've heard the Steve Allen tape, and it is like a slap in the face to hank (to be most blunt): they play avila n tequlia, with hank soloing for .3 of a chorus before an extended art blakey drum solo. nonetheless it still is pretty cool there was Hank, aged 25, on a mainstream national televison program. too bad the guy recording it didn't have a VTR! (video tape recorder)

oh ps; u think it was a boris rose-related item. im in love with that man
