Dan Gould Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 (edited) Jim has agreed, and shortly (I assume) he'll be adding a link to mp3 files of "Hot Bread" and "Inez" the two tunes recorded circa 1956 at Boddie Recording in Cleveland by Lonnie "The Sound" Walker, saxophone Gene Harris, piano Andy Simpkins, bass Bill Dowdy, drums This is the earliest known recording of the original members of the Three Sounds, and the only known recording of the original group, The Four Sounds. Enjoy! PS - the reason I offered the full tunes is, Michael Cuscuna's reaction to hearing them - he told me he would not include these in a Mosaic set, due to fidelity, questionable ownership and the fact that the sound is so different from the trio. So, Mosaic's loss is our gain! Edited April 21, 2005 by Dan Gould Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 Yikes! I should've mentioned that I am on-site, doing a job in Boca Raton right now (video production) and very busy!!! I'll try to get the files up by tonight. Sorry. Quote
ghost of miles Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 Hey Dan, that's very, very cool of you. Looking forward to hearing them. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 Here 'tis, y'all: Gene Harris - Hot Bread Gene Harris - Inez Quote
WD45 Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 I'd be willing to pass some dollars on to Ms. Harris for this. Top notch! Quote
Dan Gould Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Posted April 22, 2005 Glad there's over a hundred page views, but no one else wants to comment on the tunes? Quote
JohnS Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) Very nice, thanks Dan and Jim. Great picture too. Edited April 22, 2005 by JohnS Quote
jazzbo Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 I found it exciting to listen to these. Thanks for all the work Dan, and Jim! Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 Important historically, but a little disappointing to have almost no piano. The ballad particularly - so straight! Thanks for making these available. Mike Quote
king ubu Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 just listening to the first cut now! thanks a lot for sharing these, Dan & Jim! Quote
Dan Gould Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Posted April 22, 2005 Important historically, but a little disappointing to have almost no piano. That's what I said! The ballad's pretty though. Quote
king ubu Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 The ballad's pretty though. yes indeed! Quote
Big Al Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 Thanks for sharing these, Dan. That "Hot House" lives up to its name! Pity these guys never made a record together, like "3 Sounds + 1" or something like that! Quote
Dave James Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) Dan, Allen and Jim, Thanks for making this a reality. Those of us on this board are probably among a relatively select few who will ever hear this music. Up over and out. Edited April 22, 2005 by Dave James Quote
