I heard Griff in April 1978 just before he returned to the States. 

This record was done shortly after his return. 

Then I saw the working quartet with Ronnie Matthews in spring 1980. 

Superb LP! 

I'm jealous that you got to see Griff & Ronnie Mathews!

Disc 1 of 4 which includes the unusual album, The WEDDING CEREMONY of SISTER ROSETTA THARPE and RUSSELL MORRISON.  How many performers have put out recordings of their wedding ceremony?  This one must have been quite an event.

she actually filled a stadium to do the ceremony - was it the Washington Senators stadium? I am not sure, but this does give you an idea of how famous she was.

NP .... :

Dusky Goykovich "Swinging Macedonia" (Philips)         1967 ..... fascinating early world music project with a top cast ....

My copy, picked up in Tokyo, is the Sawano with the UK Columbia cover art. Good session.

Yes, it was Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C.  The link in my original post was to an NPR story about this event.  Apparently the wedding was kind of a publicity stunt staged in 1951 to re-energize her somewhat flagging career.  She signed a contract to hold this wedding ceremony in Griffith Stadium and then had one year to find herself a husband!  " It's unclear whether she knew Russell Morrison before she decided, a year in advance, to get married to someone in Griffith Stadium. But she found her groom, whether she knew him before or not, and he eventually became her manager."

How did you like this one .... ? For me - with high expectations based on the line-up - a bit underwhelming ....

I really enjoy it. Then again I am a huge fan of Kenny's playing. Song For Abdullah is the standout track for me. Third Eyes is also very good. Kenny is on fire on this particular track.

Ok, I don't own this set. But a friend lent me this at one time. Simply amazing stuff.

Kenny Burrell with the Brother Jack McDuff Quartet - Crash! (Prestige, 1963)

Seeing if we can make this an "all-Kennys" page... ;-)

Great performance from 1967. I like very much Albert Heath´s drumming on this, but of course everybody plays great !
