Some excellent bass playing by Mario Suraci ....

If I´m sure about one Thing it is that I never have heard about that  bass player. Maybe he is not so well known over here

Only a couple of listings @ Discogs and Hampton Hawes the only "heavy weight" he was playing with ....

:tup All those Most Xanadu albums are worthwhile.

Absolutely.  I like 'em all -- but I think Flute Flight might be the pick of the litter.  Lou Levy brought his "A" game.

He played in several  Mike Vax big band recordings and in a Joe Pass group.

Thanks. That twofer cover definitely got my attention. The original covers might be easily filliped through/over in the used bins, especially the second one. Maybe not the first one, but that layout...

Those guys got around in the late 50s. Here in the UK I saw Lawrence Brown (with Duke), Peanuts Hucko (with Hines and Teagarden) and Dickie Wells (in a Buck Clayton group).

I have a feeling that I saw Peanuts Hucko guesting with the Dutch Swing College Band circa 1977.

i saw him exactly 20 years before that at the St George's Hall, Bradford with Jack Teagarden, Earl Hines, Cozy Cole, Max Kaminsky and Jack Lesberg.

Some of them were obviously well established as a team. Here are Lesberg, Kaminsky and Hucko ten years before I saw them:

Now listening to my favorite Mahler 5. It is a shame this hasn't made the transition to digital.

I got to know the sessions intimately while preparing the lp masters for the HNH issue. The tapes 'felt' compressed to me and we complained to the Stockholm Philharmonic ( the source of the tapes ) and they said they did that because the hall was built over some rail tracks and 'rumble' intruded at some points. We requested unadulterated tapes and proceeded to make a more honest representation of the music.
