Peter Friedman Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 The tune "Calgary" is on 2 CDs in my collection. Benny Golson - Disques Swing Ray Bryant is listed as composer James Williams Meets The Saxophone Section - DIW It is listed as "traditional" with no composer named. Can anyone clarify this? Quote
brownie Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 The tune belongs to Ray Bryant Quote
sidewinder Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 The tune belongs to Ray Bryant A frequent visitor to Canada ! (I saw him in the audience in a Toronto club once). Quote
brownie Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 When I was in Calgary for coverage of the 1988 Winter Olympics, that Ray Bryant tune kept playing in my head! Don't think he was in the area at that time! Quote
sidewinder Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) When I was in Calgary for coverage of the 1988 Winter Olympics Ah - the games with Eddie The Eagle! They were still talking about that guy out there years later He was "in action" at Nakiska, I think. Edited February 13, 2010 by sidewinder Quote
brownie Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 Oh yes, the Eagle has landed! That was a wonderful story. Kept the media busy for the duration of the Games. Stuff that legends are made off! Quote
sidewinder Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 Oh yes, the Eagle has landed! Fortunately he did - just. Most of the UK were praying he didn't kill himself on the ski jump. Quote
