Interesting if uneven session - and quite unlike the two LPs cut with Tubby Hayes.

You’re right; ‘Humming Bird’ is not top notch Gonsalves. And -sorry to say- Kenny Wheeler’s playing tends to depress me.

Both ‘Just Friends’ and ‘Change of Setting’ with Tubby are in my wish list.

Both are out on CD (Just Friends on Vocalion), strongly recommended.

I suspect that Gonsalves not at his best on the Deram thanks to his ‘fixer’, Jackie Sharpe. Kenny Wheeler sounds good on it though (although I agree that he adds a melancholy edge).

Professor Longhair: Mardi Gras in Baton Rouge

Mississippi John Hurt: Worried Blues 1963 (Rounder)

[Gheorghe]

Fine the radio shows with Barry Ulanov commenting the "Battle of the Bands". Originally I had this material on 2 different LP labels. The tracks with Dizzy and Roach were on a Spotlite LP, and the tracks with Fats and Buddy Rich were on a Musidisc Charlie Parker Broadcasts 1947 LP.

Lennie Tristano is really great on the broadcasts, but very weak on the 1951 Parker-Tristano duo tracks.

"Change Of Setting" is easily available in several online stores; however, "Just Friends" is out of stock in all of them.

Great album. This and the second one "Rollin´with Leo", also very good baritone stuff. I think a further album co-starring Dexter Gordon was planned, but never could be realised because of the sudden death of Leo Parker. That would have been a great reprise of the famous Dexter-Leo Parker stuff from the forties for Savoy. But at least they could re-record Dexter with Bud (also former Savoy collaboration) on " Our Man in Paris".

Handpicked songmaterial and a nice buch of "west coasters" (Teddy Edwards, Carmell Jones etc) make this one a winner ....
