  9. how many of u guys also collect soul/doo-wop/girl-group stuff

    And The Flamingos - one trick ponies, sort of, at least as far as what worked. But the groove on "I Only Have Eyes for You", hey, I'll take that and a lifetime inside the woman I love for the win, Peter.

    Not really one trick ponies. They hit the big time with "Eyes" in 1959, but had been making great jump sides and bluesy ballads since the early 50's. Check out their Chance or Chess recordings some time - a far cry from the slick pop for which they're famous (which I also dig, of course).

    Just played it. There's a bloody good organist on it, which I'd forgotten.

    If my memory serves, the lead singer of the Jaynetts was Darlene Love, of Bob B Soxx & the Blue Jeans. Actually, that's another.

    Memory isn't serving well, MG. Here are a couple of links to the whole story:

    Producer was Abner Spector, not Phil.

  20. Herb Pomeroy RIP

    Posted · Edited by Stereojack

    Trumpeter, bandleader, educator, and mentor to a generation of musicians, Herb Pomeroy passed away on Saturday, August 11. He was 77.

    Herb was woven into the fabric of Boston jazz, from playing with Charlie Parker on his visits here in the 1950s to his teaching and mentoring students at Berklee for over forty years. Trumpeter Joe Gordon and pianist Jaki Byard played in his big band, among others.

    To say he will be missed is a gross understatement.

    Well, it's the other one - "Teen Rock" - that I have. ;)

    Any big-league jazzmen uncredited on that one?

    Speaking of "Fratenity Rush": I wonder if the tune "Creole" on that one is the same title that was also recorded by the George Williams Orchestra (on the "The Fox i Hi-FI" album on Brunswick) around the same time for the same target audience?

    Hawkins plays on "The Solid, Solid South" on "Teen Rock", and on "A Little Bit Square But Nice", "If I Could Be With You", & "Summertime" on "Fraternity Rush". He may not solo on all of them. All these tracks were recorded at the same 7/19/56 session.

    "Creole" is credited to G. Williams on the Raeburn album, so I guess they must be the same tune.

    blue note sucks for refusing to give him his own solo contact

    He was offered a Blue Note date, but it was to have been one of those Lou Donaldson-styled funky sessions, and he turned it down.

    I think he smokes on Hubbard's "Breaking Point" and on Max Roach's "Drums Unlimited". I saw the Roach band at the time, and they kicked some serious ass.
