epistrophy007 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Wondering - who has heard this? who has this? was this issued once? On a bootleg? This was the concert that put her on the map...and got her some raving reviews...still refered to these days... Date: July 3, 1961 Location: Music At Newport, Newport, RI Label: radio Carol Sloane (ldr), Art Davis (b), Patti Bown (p), Stu Martin (d), Carol Sloane (v) a. Pennies From Heaven (Johnny Burke, Arthur Johnston) b. What's New (Johnny Burke, Bob Haggart) c. Little Girl Blue (Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers) d. Sweet Georgia Brown (Maceo Pinkard, Kenneth Casey, Ben Bernie) STRANGE -> the Sloane discography for sure included an entry for the 1962 NPJ Festival where she was backed by Hawkins... j.

jazztrain Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 There's an online Carol Sloane discography here: Carol Sloane discography It does not show any release of her 1961 appearance at Newport. It does not show any recording in 1962 (or otherwise) with Hawkins present. However, Burt Goldblatt's "Newport Jazz Festival" does show a July 7, 1962 appearance at Newport backed by Bill Rubenstein on piano and Hawkins on tenor. So, the discography does not appear to be complete. Wondering - who has heard this? who has this? was this issued once? On a bootleg? This was the concert that put her on the map...and got her some raving reviews...still refered to these days...

Dan Gould Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Maybe Wolfgang's will put this out, assuming it exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 As I remember, Carol was famous for the talents of her tongue. Some famous jazz person told me she was a "wizard". Good singer in spite of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epistrophy007 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 @Jazztrain the information for the 62 Newport set with Hawkins and Rubistein *was* at that discography page...For sure In fact it still was a couple of weeks ago! No lie, cause it was there (and the only place on the net) that made a reference to that particular set and tracklist! I truly hope Wolfgang's Vault will put it out... Check this out: http://www.newportjazzfest.net/index.php?pID=53 line up for every classic (50s and 60s) NPJF!!!!! Way cool... j. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Thanks for that link. If the tape exists, how long can they keep sitting on this one: •Art Blakey Quintet featuring Gary Bartz, alto saxophone, John Gilmore, tenor saxophone, John Hicks, piano, Victor Sproles, Jr., bass, and Lee Morgan, trumpet. I keep waiting for them to go back to the classic Newport Festival years for new releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 That's really odd. The 1962 Newport Jazz Festival appearance does not show up now in the online discography. A separate page that lists musicians that Carol Sloane has recorded with doesn't show Hawkins (although the Newport appearance may or may not have been "recorded"). Another page lists songs she has recorded and does not show the '62 Newport appearance. I found the information about the '62 Newport appearance in Burt Goldblatt's book. It may have mentioned a few songs they performed. I'll check tonight. @Jazztrain the information for the 62 Newport set with Hawkins and Rubistein *was* at that discography page...For sure In fact it still was a couple of weeks ago!

Pete C Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I just noticed that the great Stu Martin is on that date. Other than a few things with Rollins on RCA, I don't know much of his work before The Trio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazztrain Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Too much going on last night. Here's some information on the 1962 appearance by Carol Sloane at Newport (from Burt Goldblatt's book): >>> "Carol Sloane used to attend the Festival in its early years. A Rhode Island woman, she ws making her second appearance with the Festival. She had formerly sung with Les Elgart's orchestra and had recorded an album the previous year that was selling well. Coleman Hawkins joined her with a beautiful backing on "Willow Weep for Me." Carol sang well throughout her set, closing with a personally intense rendition of "Will You Still Be Mine?" >>> @Jazztrain the information for the 62 Newport set with Hawkins and Rubistein *was* at that discography page...For sure In fact it still was a couple of weeks ago!
