Alonzo Levister 'Manhattan Monodrama' (Debut)

ALONZO%2BLEVISTER%2BCOVER%2B1.jpg

with Louis Mucci, John LaPorta, Teddy Charles, etc...

Is that an original Debut issue Brownie? Or one of those numbered limited edition 70s/80s reissues?

Don't think I've ever seen that one (although at least one of the tracks is on the Debut Story CD set).

I've got a copy of the original - found in a Savannah junk store 15 or so years ago. I might spin it tonight.

I had been thinking about pulling this record off the shelves to reacquaint myself with it, since I hadn't heard it in years - thanks for the reminder, Brownie. I remember having mixed feelings about it in the past, but I really dug it tonight. Interesting, moving music with one foot in jazz and one in classical. What happened to Alonzo Levister?

My copy is an original Debut. Cover is OK but there are a couple of scratches that mar the listening. Great music.

This was purchased at the first record convention I attended back in the early 80s. Price was pretty cheap!

Bought the London American version of this album used for £5 this afternoon from a seller at Wigan Jazz Club. In excellent condition and music great. Must be about half a century since I bought a disc on the London American label! :excited:

I'm winding up a 10" LP on Angel - a collection of German jazz from 1954 - with one of the worst album titles ever: The Cats and Jammer Kids. It's got the Hans Koller Quintet with Albert Mangelsdorff (Jutta Hipp had already left), the Johannes Rediske Quartet, the Paul Kuhn Quartet, and the Fatty George Combo.

Felt the need for some New Orleans clarinet today:

Johnny Wiggs and His New Orleans Kings (Southland) A really nice 1953 album with trombone pioneer Tom Brown and one of my favorite N.O. clarinetists, Harry Shields.

Original Dixieland Jazz Band/Louisiana Five (Fountain) I've been really taken with the N.O. clarinetist Alcide "Yellow" Nunez, the co-leader of the Louisiana Five, lately.

Louis Cottrell and His New Orleans Jazz (Nobility) 1964, with Kid Howard, Frog Joseph, and Paul Barbarin in the band.
