medjuck Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 I have a vague memory (most of my memories are vague) of hearing about these. Could the "working musician" who had them be Catherine Russell? Whatever the case I'm getting this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted February 15 Author Report Share Posted February 15 Arrived from DOT Time yesterday. Sound is decent. Performances are as one would expect--worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Are these airshots? Or what? Interested, but wanting to better know what it is that is being "newly discovered". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted February 15 Author Report Share Posted February 15 Detailed information is on the website, seek it out. Yes, airchecks personally recorded to disc by Russell, found in a closet by his widow, masterfully restored by Doug Pomeroy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Oh man, Ricky Riccardi played one of these broadcasts at the 2020 Jazz Congress, and it was smokin’. Sound quality was OK—probably improved for commercial release, but I’d be fine with what I heard at Ricky’s presentation. Thanks for the heads-up!

Was this one of the tracks of the Russell band backing up Louis Armstrong or one of the features for the band all by themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong was definitely featured, on vocals and trumpet. I can’t recall the tune, but it was a 1938 broadcast from Chicago, and Ricky identified it as coming from a Catherine Russell closet find.
