Victor Christensen Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I have a CD with Gil Melle "Gil's Guests" Prestige 7063 with three different session dates and I am very much in doubt if the personel listed from the session on january 18, 1957 is correct. The CD booklet list Gil Melle (baritone), Donald Byrd (Trumpet), Phil Woods (alto), Joe Cinderella (guitar), Vinnie Burke (bass), Ed Thigpen (drums). The Tunes are: Funk For Star People; Golden Age; Herbie, and there are a vibeplayer on these three tracks that is not mentioned (could it be Teddy Charles ?) and also it sounds as there is a tenorplayer (Zoot Sims ?). Do anyone here know the correct personel ? Vic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Old story. Very much doubt that the tenor saxophonist on the three tunes is Zoot Sims. Noal Cohen has interesting remarks on this January 1957 session on his Teddy Charles Discography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
