Chuck Nessa Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 A Vogue picture disc: http://www.nme.com/video/id/KZ_E5LeAqvA/search Wonder who the rest of the group is, especially the clarinetist. Buddy DeFranco, John Potaker, Sid Block and Alvin Stoller - NYC, late '45. I have a copy somewhere, left by a neighbor who exited via shotgun.

Larry Kart Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thanks. That's pretty early Buddy, age 23. I thought that guy might go somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Yeah, when that record spins around, it's pretty nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownian Motion Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 John Potaker was an interesting pianist. I don't know of any other sessions he appears on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 John Potaker was an interesting pianist. I don't know of any other sessions he appears on. Sessions with Tommy Dorsey '45-47, Ray McKinley '47, McKinley again '57-60, Mundell Lowe '54 and Bobby Byrne '59. Name sometimes spelled Potoker.

jazztrain Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 The entire session also was on an Onyx LP: Onyx 209 (Tootin' Through the Roof, Vol. 1). It (and the 5 other tracks from the session) are on Classics 944. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazzer95 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hello, it's here for listening to it online: Serenade To A Pair Of Nylons as an audio-stream here: Small Band Version Big Band Version Wow, Charlie had chops! It's always amazing how he attacks those notes. He had one of the best sounds on the cup-mute. The big band rendition sounds like "Bebop", the Dizzy-Gillespie composition. Anyway, closer listening proves that these are different tunes with the same title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted O'Reilly Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I wonder who wrote that tune? Someone named Hanes? Or maybe Joe Namath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your source for the Abe Most ID? Remember, we're talking about the Vogue quintet recording, clarinet credited to DeFranco by several sources, not the later Tommy Dorsey big-band recording.

Harold_Z Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Charlie sure was staying hip - when he comes in around 2:57 he sounds a hell of a lot like Diz. Nice side - Now I have to hunt down that Chrono.l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
