Many times in Manchester, Leeds and London. He radiated energy (this wasn't in his final years), his head nodding vigorously to the beat when he was't playing.

I never spoke to him - he didn't seem very approachable. In his autobiography altoist Peter King describes the generation of Scott and Hayes as hard men.

Awesome!

Listening Now: 

Is it possible, that the "Two Bones" was not orginally released, since I knew only about the other three albums. By the way: I got "Bone and Bari" signed by Mr. Fuller himself !!!

The Rollins 2 CDs is just wonderful and sure one of the best few live albums in the BN cataloge. Such a wealth of invention and still a major inspiration for jazz study...

Correct. First release was in Japan.

Now streaming:

Louis Armstrong - The Decca Singles: 1949-1958 (Universal, 2017)

I've been reading Ricky Riccardi's liner notes, published on his blog -- since this was a digital-only release.  It's odd to learn how much this music was denigrated by jazz fans back in the day for being "commercial," lacking jazz bona fides.  That's nuts!  Sure, there's plenty of pop here -- but it's all Louis Armstrong music, which is to say, it's beyond category.

This is an odd one. It was later reissued (unchanged) on Moon. Sound is mediocre, but there's some fine Diz on it.

ok, thank you, that´s the reason why I had not heard about it. I had his three BN albums from the 1500 series. 
It´s strange that especially in the fifties some temporary BN-Artists all made 3 albums in a short period, and then switched to other labels: 

Curtis Fuller
Johnny Griffin
Clifford Jordan
Paul Chambers

Arthur Blythe – Put Sunshine In It (CBS, 1985)

I hadn't realised Arthur Blythe did a smooth jazz record.
