Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 36 minutes ago, Chuck Nessa said: When I went to work at Delmark/Jazz Record Mart in 1966 Bob Koester claimed Sam Charters (producer of the Vanguard set) stole his "little brown book" to get all the musicians' phone numbers. While that sounds sleazy, is there a specific reason why these artists wouldn't have wanted their phone numbers more widely known to a producer in the record industry?? Was Charters offense more against Koester than the artists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 It's the Jordi Pooholes business model, just take what you want from whoever has it, period. If you've never been stolen from, maybe it doesn't seem like a big deal? But, you know, you could have just asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read a little about it after seeing this post, I thought it would have a listen. It's amazing stuff, and you can immediately see how hard it hit the music scene at the time. Presumably the Bluesbreakers and Yardbirds etc just stayed up all night listening to these tracks on repeat and forlornly trying to replicate them. This was part of a RSD release last year that included all three volumes. However, Craft just announced they are releasing volume 1 again.

The only Bridgewaters I saw live and admired were Cecil and Dee Dee.... I quitted smoking 4 and a half years ago (not trying to convince you ) but I never took the filter between my teeth either. Looks pretty could though.... It's his brother Ron Bridgewater. Not really impressed by his playing to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I look for it? EDIT: Coincidentally, that Brunswick LP is the source of the photo used on the MCA reissue. It's a bit odd because none of the cuts on the Brunswick disc are on the MCA comp. Another oddity: The image is reversed on the MCA reissue. Edited May 3, 2022 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 It´s possible that Jackie Cain and Roy Kral were not as well known in Austria.... I have read about them as being part of Charlie Ventura´s "Bop for the People" project. Is that true ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommend both very much. Yes, that´s it. In books about jazz in the 40´s like Ira Gitler´s book and others, the "Bop for the people" wasn´t mentioned very much. See, for dudes from Europe who were born after the 40´s , we didn´t know very much about groups that may have had a short time fame, but nevertheless the "Bop for the People" is something I had heard about. And that tune "High on an Open Mike" was for eternity through the 1947 "Saturday Night Jazz Session" which we all bought in the 70´s mostly for the participation of Fats Navarro. I remember my English was very weak and depended on my understanding of the liner notes. But the title "High on an Open Mike" was ununderstandable for me then. "Mike" was the english name for "Mihail" or "Michael" how I knew it and I translated it in "Hoch auf einem offenen Michael" (I think only Google-Translate can do worse), but it is an interesting Ventura original with some "swing to bop" elements. The A part is based on "If I had You" and the bridge is a descending chord thing, very very nice to play really...... Benny Green is really cool, but I think on that WNEW Saturday Night stuff it was Bill Harris on tb, who sounds more old fashioned for our understanding, a bit more Dixieland style if I´m right.

I've always heard it as Ronnie among musicians, though you are correct the album credits don't bear that out. He's been teaching for a number of years.

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.
