Larry Kart Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 Interesting fact I stumbled across some years ago: On June 14, 1955, in New York City Clarke recorded a seven-tune date for Decca backing his then-wife Carmen McRae (issued on the album "By Special Request") and all of the great Lee Konitz-Warne Marsh album for Atlantic, with Sal Mosca, Billy Bauer, and Oscar Pettiford. No doubt Milt Hinton, Osie Johnson and other studio mainstays of that era had days that were just as busy or busier ,but somehow the fact that the Lee-Warne album was one of two dates that Clarke did that day just tickles me, perhaps because his playing on that album is so magical.

jeffcrom Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 I've always been kind of amazed when thinking about what December 21, 1960 was like for Eric Dolphy. He went from Van Gelder's studio in Englewood Cliffs, where he recorded Far Cry, to Atlantic's New York studio for Free Jazz. Not a bad day's work. Quote
