Nice to think I saw the Skidmores, father and son - same for the Traceys, come to think of it. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 28, 2018 Report Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Also caught Don Rendell a few times (the last time was at Ian Carr’s tribute concert) as well as both Traceys in various Stan Tracey groups on quite a few occasions. I’ve also got the Stan Tracey bio by Clark on order. Have seen Alan Skidmore a few times too but I don’t think I ever saw his Dad. Kenny Graham way before my time but I can remember seeing performances by Humph’s group where he announced a Kenny Graham arrangement. That group had Kathy Stobart, a superb and very under-rated tenorist (not unlike the present day Karen Sharp in style). Edited July 28, 2018 by sidewinder Quote

That group had Kathy Stobart, a superb and very under-rated tenorist (not unlike the present day Karen Sharp in style). Interesting to hear about the Stan Tracey biog. A few years ago, not long after the death of Stan, I spoke to Clark about his Dad, telling him I was currently reading autobiogs by Peter King and Vic Ash which mentioned him. As if as an afterthought, Clark ran after me to say I'd have a new biog to read, as he would be writing one about Stan. Having heard nothing of this for a few years, I assumed that the idea had been forgotten, but apparently not. Yes, I shall be reading it. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 28, 2018 Report Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Yes, it is out on Equinox/Northway and has had very favourable reviews. I’ve also got the Graham Collier bio by Duncan Heining on order too, also put out by Northway so some good reading coming up. Must get hold of the Peter King. I still have that Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Vanguard Orch. tome to read too ! Edited July 28, 2018 by sidewinder Quote

sidewinder Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 10 hours ago, JohnS said: Another blast from the past. I remember these - it really makes me feel old. A very good and not very well known LP on the Lansdowne Series. Starts off with a suite by Johnny Scott with strings, then some Shake Keane Quartet material followed by material from Ray Prebru’s group and the Alan Clare trio. Beautifully recorded by Adrian Kerridge. I believe that many of these ‘Tete a Tete’ performances were done on a regular basis at the Festival Hall and broadcast by Beeb radio. This copy of the LP personalised with nice message and signed by Mr Burman himself ! Quote
mjazzg Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 Thankfully Spotify enables me to enjoy it. Seems to be available as a dl from Trunk too Quote

It will be interesting to check out the remaster (needle drop? ) but I have to say, the mono vinyl sounds exceptional. Edited July 31, 2018 by sidewinder Quote
