Brookmeyer was part of the Concert Jazz Band.

Yes, I am very much interested! Do you have complete details, i.e. personnel, tracklist and date?

The release pattern of these tracks was the usual mess we are used to from early Fantasy sessions: The last tracks recorded were issued on 78's and 45's, then 7" EPs, the on 10" LP and then 12" LP. the LPs added tracks from earlier demo sessions Brubeck had made at his own expense and given to Fantasy. The OJC CD and two European reissues are the latest stage in the release history of these tracks.

However, interviews with Iola Brubeck and studies of photos and newspaper reports give evidence that Dick Saltzman played on the first Octet sessions. All discographies and issue credits listing Tjader on earlier Octet sessions were copied from the first release on Fantasy that simply assumed the personnel was identical to that of the later sessions. In fact it was a septet, and Bob Cummings played alto sax (Paul Desmond joined the group only at the next session, and trombonist Bob Collins in 1948). Dave Brubeck gave these recordings to the label to complement Fantasy's later recordings of the Octet.

This session was originally recorded by and issued on the Coronet label, the records were manufactured by the Weiss bothers' pressing plant. Brubeck bought the masters after Coronet went out of business; as orders for the records kept coming in, Max and Sol Weiss seized the opportunity to start their own label, Fantasy, with the next Brubeck trio sessions, but kept using the Coronet master numbers for the first four issued tracks, which they re-issued. Some performances are contained in a test pressing in James Harrod's collection; it has four breakdowns of Idaho on one side and four complete takes of four tunes on the other, without talking or studio chatter. The take of Laura on this test pressing proves to be identical with the one released on the Coronet 78. Furthermore, Tarik Townsend commented on Harrod's blog that the takes of Laura and Tea For Two on the Coronet or Fantasy 78s and the Fantasy LPs are different, which I confirmed by aural comparison. All this leads to the conclusion that more than the four originally issued tracks were recorded at this first Brubeck Trio session, despite the anecdotic report that the group had to record them to acetate disc under extreme time constraints (after the newly acquired tape recorder had failed to run at constant speed). Another possibility is that there was more than one session held in September 1949. The identity of the vocalist on the test pressing is uncertain; Dave Brubeck suggested it might be Barbara Ritchie, who worked at NBC in San Francisco at the time; Frances Lynne reportedly sang with the Brubeck Octet; see James Harrod's blog for details and to listen to these recordings. There is one other recording by Ritchie for comparison which features an audibly different voice (see next session), and only very few by Lynne which have not been available to me for audition, but due to the different sound of the voices I opt for Lynne on this session.

Ah, I see. Looks like a young Jennifer Connelly.

Is that Jennifer Connelly?

Credits say "a Junat Production".

Me, too.

Excellent!

Inspired by a concert with works by Bach and others for two, three, or four harpsichords and other instruments, I've been listening to a lot of harpsichord duets from these CDs since yesterday:

Another well done Michael Cuscuna reissue project.

That's real bad news.

This brand comes from the area right beneath Blue Mountain, an excellent espresso, and goes for much less than the overpriced Blue Mountain brand:

I, too, use one of these tiny bottles for years.

Same here.

Thanks. Looks like a nice retro viewing session with all those jazz musicians on the set. I put it on my amazon wish list.

Can you recommend it?

I would not enter that church any more.

I know, but for Gheorghe the single CD probably is the better option. Looks to me that he was not aware this existed. But I see he already has it.

Something different, from baroque to Branford Marsalis:

Gabriel Astruc, promoter of the first performance, wrote a nice book of his memoirs about all the scandals he provoked with music by Strauss, Debussy, and Stravinskij. At this occasion I learned, while doing some research, that the composer re-workd the score as the rights to the scores lay with Russian publsihers, and through the wars he had no longer access to the royalties from the performances - a big financial loss for him. So he signed with Boosey & Hawkes and wrote new version which were then, of course, preferred by orchestras the world over. The version of The Rite od Spring that we usually hear is form 1947. When François-Xavier Roth started his project on performing and recording the Stravinskiy ballets he encountered many problems, from obtaining to locating the original scores, but the result is stunning, the music should disturb, as Chuck said about this music, but the sound of the original score on perios instruments is even more disturbing. Highly recommende. I still lick myself fro missing their performance here in town.
