Stonewall15 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I recently acquired this LP. The first 3 cuts are by Thelonious Monk in 1948- he is accompanied by a trumpet player. The album notes do not say who accompanies Monk. It sounds like it could be Fats or Dizzy. Does anyone know the answer? Additionally, the last track is a Charlie Parker version of "Night In Tunisia" (mis-labeled as "Blue 'n' Boogie"). Does anyone know who played besides Bird? Last question- how rare are these recordings- are they released elsewhere? Is this LP worth anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tatum stuff is from Cafe Society Downtown, July, 1950. Don't know if it's been issued elsewhere. Don't know what the LP would be worth. I love that Monk session.

jostber Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Is Tatum on this LP too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bichos Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 tatum is there with the titles: "the man i love"; "i got plenty o´ nothin´"; "it ain´t necessarily so"; "tabu"; "someone to watch over me"; "i know that you know"; "sweet lorraine"; "i got a feeling i´m falling"; "ghost of a chance"; "hallelujah". the date is given as 1951. attention: the track "blue ´n´ boogie" is a spliced track of two versions of "night in tunisia": from january 6, 1951, birdland, dizzy gillespie quintet (without bird!) and from february 26, 1949, royal roost, parker all-stars. this must be a boris rose "production".

Stereojack Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 this must be a boris rose "production". (liner notes by e. s. spoe!) Definitely a Rose production. "E. S. Spoe" was a guy named Bill Esposito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 The Tatum stuff is from Cafe Society Downtown, July, 1950. Don't know if it's been issued elsewhere. The Cafe Society broadcast was included in volume 4 of the Art Tatum Live series from Storyville (and later in the Art Tatum 10CD box from Storyville).
