Nice story about remembering the times gone! Well my favorite song (can change however) is " I'm forever blowing bubbles". In fact the 2 vinyls are excelent from beginning to the end.

Yes they are members of the Charlie Ventura unit in a very early live concert 1949 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium which appeared in 2 parts on 2 different labels (GNP & MCA) Have both and they are phantastic with that Ventura group. Recommend both very much.

Recorded live at the Chamber Hall of the Olympic Village, November 24, 1984

Playing for his birthday (April 29th)

Have this one on that label:

Ahh yes that sounds familiar to me. Germany had also that "left" direction among the students combined with the antinuclear position of the younger generation. Can't say whether they liked jazz or not. Here are 2 more of my "eastern" vinyls a) from Hungary. An excellent pianist and his group s--- Janos Gondar b) from Poland Z. Namyslowsko Quintet

Well unknown to me. The story about my vinyls from the eastern european countries is as follows: During the times of the "Iron Curtain" I did send to some jazzfans from East Germany (DDR), Poland and Russia my used "western vinyls" when I got a new japanese or spanish edition. They did send me then what was available overthere (not always to my personal taste) but during the time I have also some good ones pref. the eastern big band. Poland had always a very modern oriented jazz scene then. Two good albums here too!

Also very good - have it myself

Excellent!

OK and thanks for the Info

is the Atlantic vinyl I have a recording from that concert?

Is a common saying IMO "to have one foot in the gutter" ? The pic shows different, yes. Now on the turntable here:
