JSngry Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Posted June 6, 2020 What a gem of a record! The band appears to be mostly D.C./Baltimore in original and everybody can play. They are today referred to as "unknown". Pianist Yusef Salim went on to make an ongoing cultural contribution, he is NOT unknown! http://carolinajazzconnectionwithlarrythomas.blogspot.com/2008/08/brother-yusuf-salim-rip.html Quote

I wish that he had gotten a chance to record a few more times before his untimely death at the young age of 36. Quote

JSngry Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Posted June 6, 2020 I really dig this Bill Swindell guy, sounds like he had at least one more gear than he got to go to on these records. should be at lest a little bit more recordings of him, but life is not fair. I also dig how Parker's playing here sometimes speaks the same language as later Lester Young. Quote

I also dig how Parker's playing here sometimes speaks the same language as later Lester Young. When I picked up Let Me Tell You 'Bout It, I hadn't yet heard Tadd Dameron and Illinois Jacquet, so the entire band was new to me. Being so impressed by the sidemen, I once wrote Buck Hill and asked him whatever became of Swindell and Burks, but I didn't hear back from him. Even though the strong Rollin' with Leo brings in some better-known musicians like Burns, Acea, Lucas and Hogan, Let Me Tell You 'Bout It edges it. Two great albums, though. Parker cleaning up and suddenly dying after making such a comeback was a tragedy. Quote
