BFrank Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 If we're going to note individual tunes (as opposed to entire sessions), then this is going to be one HUGE thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Sahib Shihab plays alto Sax on "Curtis Fuller And Hampton Hawes With French Horns" I believe Sahib's main axe was alto in his early days - shows up on sessions by Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk, Mal Waldron, & others. Eventually switched to bari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 does Woody Herman singing an entire album count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 does Woody Herman singing an entire album count? If that's the one on which he sings "If I could be with you one hour tonight", a neighbour had it in the early sixties and I think from memory he actually does some clarinet playing, too. So if he did, it's the same as Milt Jackson's "Soul believer" and Les McCann's "Les McCann sings" - don't count. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Not the one I was thinking of - don't recognise that sleeve. So, does he play clarinet on it? MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh1958 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 don't remember - there's a cover pic of him and a woman - I've got a nice scratched copy somewhere- There's also a Columbia album with a sleeping Woody Herman in a chair with a woman--Music For Tired Lovers, Love Songs Sung by Woody Herman with Erroll Garner. I haven't worked up the courage to listen to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 If we're going to note individual tunes (as opposed to entire sessions), then this is going to be one HUGE thread. That's why I started the thread to be about entire sessions (or "nearly entire" sessions), where somebody ain't playin' what they normally do.

Ted O'Reilly Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Peter Friedman mentioned Scott Robinson on C-melody sax, bringing to mind an LP (was it ever on CD) where he played everything...all the brass, all the reeds, all the rhythm. He seems to like odd instruments: helicon tuba, slide trumpet, double-bell euphonium, rotary-valved posthorn, ophicleide... Victor Feldman also did a '60s LP on which he played "Everything In Sight" as the cover picture showed, mostly various keyboards and every percussion instrument you can think of... James Morrison, the Australian phenom, did a big band record "Snappy Doo" where he plays everything but gtr/bass/dms 'cause he had Herb Ellis, Ray Brown and Jeff Hamilton to do that. He also wrote all the charts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The version I saw was on Philips, so that would be the Columbia album. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
