Mark Stryker Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 The late Terry Pollard (like McLeod) was also from Detroit and was a remarkable pianist. Here she is with Gibbs on both piano and vibes: Quote

mikeweil Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 There was a video of a Paris club recording of Kenny Clarke and Lucky Thompson with Alice McLeod on paino, but I can't find it ...Is this no longer on youtube? IIRC it was linked here at some point. Quote

AllenLowe Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 just listened - very Bud Powell-ish solo. Quote

brownie Posted September 11, 2011 Report Posted September 11, 2011 It's still working on my old blog post about it. Looks like it was on DailyMotion rather than YouTube. Thanks - that's it, and that's the reason I couldn't find it. It's still visible on this earlier O. thread (post 43) Lucky Alice Quote
