romualdo Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Can anyone confirm that "No Smokes Blues" from the December 31, 1944 Continental session has an alternate take/version The Lord Discography states that the main difference between the two versions is the introduction break (clarinet by Aaron Sachs on one & trumpet by Dizzy Gillespie on the other) I have the same version (clarinet intro) on two CD's (Continental Sessions, Vol. 3 - Storyville & Interlude - Naxos). These are listed as the original 78 release 6061. The alternate take is supposed to be on the Vaughan Remington EP 35 (anyone out there with a copy of this?) The Lord Discog appears to have this switched around ie the alternate take (trumpet intro) as the 78 release (6061) & the original take on the EP (clarinet intro) Do these different versions actually exist?? The 3CD Continental Sessions set (Storyville) makes no mention of this Quote
bichos Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 both takes can be heard at "masters of jazz" complete edition of dizzy gillespie, volume 4 (1943-1944) mjcd 86. the master take is the wayne intro with sachs and the alternate is the wayne intro with dizzy and then sachs. keep boppin´ marcel Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 that's an interesting performance of a typically terrible Leonard Feather lyric - it will appear on my anthology, as it was the only Vaughan blues I could find. Quote
Swinging Swede Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 So Lord has it wrong. Not the first time. Quote
