JSngry Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 Whoa- yeah those are some hot pictures. Who is the sax player in the really hot photo where shes w/ the rest of the band? It looks like Getz but my senses tell me bob cooper. Don't think it's Cooper. That guy you're talking about vaguely rembles Serge Chaloff, but his head ain't big enough, and I don't know that Chaloff played bass clarinet. Here's another shot from the same gig - Club Troubador, NYC, ca. 1947, with Georgie Auld standing up (and that's Red Rodney in both pix!) BTW, Club Troubadour was a club opened by Auld, so that's probably his house band, not Kenton's. Don't think that's Kenton @ the piano. Quote
JSngry Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 You decide - here's some pix of Christy & Cooper. Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 Where do you get all these negatives from? Do you have any sexy photos of anita o'day you can post Quote
JSngry Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 (edited) Down boy, DOWN! :D Seriously, these are all photographs by the great Bill Gottlieb, and there is a website that has a tremendous amount of his work avaiable for on-line viewing. Here it is: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wghtml/wghome.html Sorry, no Anita that I can tell, but here's another Kenton-related shot from 47-48 that fans of BREAKING POINT might appreciate Edited July 8, 2003 by JSngry Quote

Use3D Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Where do you get all these negatives from? Do you have any sexy photos of anita o'day you can post goooooo~gle it, friend! Quote
jmjk Posted July 11, 2003 Author Report Posted July 11, 2003 Couw, I was wondering the same thing. Although it's an old photo, maybe it was signed recently---Anita must be in her 80s now. I like Anita's work also, but she doesn't hit me like June does. Quote
JSngry Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 whassup with the scribbly writing in that first pic? Anita was at one time a consumer of any number of things that can make your handwriting wobbly... Quote

There's a photo of Chaloff as a member of Auld's band that I've heard is going to be used in the new Uptown Allan Eager set's booklet, and he's got the same doubles set up as in this picture. So that's definitely Serge Chaloff, big head or not. Edited July 13, 2003 by JSngry Quote
Matthew Posted July 12, 2003 Report Posted July 12, 2003 I was going to start a separate thread about this (and probably still will), but through a strange series of events that transpired over the past several days, it now turns out that I'll be interviewing Anita O'Day for a two-part program that's scheduled to air on our local public radio station on Tuesday, Aug. 19 and Wednesday, Aug. 20. Please understand that O'Day is my second-favorite jazz singer of all time, right behind Billie. I ran cackling with joy across the parking lot after I got the e-mail reply from her manager--and Lord, am I nervous! I went home and listened to "Let Me Off Uptown" right away. I'm freakin' out, guys! That's great new GofM, and I'm going to be looking forward to the interview. Hope Anita is still "with it" mentally, as was mentioned before, she did put a lot of interesting substances in her body over the years. Even with that though, O'Day is a survivor and it should be a great interview (keeping my fingers crossed!). Quote
Matthew Posted December 26, 2003 Report Posted December 26, 2003 I've been listening to the June Christy part of the Christy / Lee Mosaic. Such a wonderful voice, with just a hint of roughness behind it, which adds a sadness to her signing. Ah! June Christy Quote

brownie Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 June Christy with Charlie Parker and Stan Kenton Quote
Bright Moments Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 June Christy with Charlie Parker and Stan Kenton this is a great thread! thanks brownie for bringing it back up! Quote
brownie Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 this is a great thread! thanks brownie for bringing it back up! Anything for June Christy and Bird... Wish there had been at least a surviving tape of a joint appearance of the two! Quote
jazzbo Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 I've really fallen under June's spell the last few years. It's good to see that Capitol has been putting her releases out slowly still. . . though I agree with another here that says that the import Capitol EMI twofer that contains "The Intimate Miss Christy" sounds better than the new McMastered Capitol cd.

Teasing the Korean Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 If you're ever looking for a Christmas album you won't instantly get sick of - AND if you love June Christy - get her album "This Time of Year," which was finally released on CD a few years back. It's a concept album, of sorts, with all original tunes written specifically for this album. A very adult, sobering, and mildly depressing take on the holiday trappings to which we've all grown accustomed. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 Yup. One of the few holiday albums I actually like. Quote
Alon Marcus Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 A few tubes with June Christy. Taking a chance on love All God's Children Got Rhythm Supposin' Imagination Quote
mmilovan Posted May 16, 2009 Report Posted May 16, 2009 Oh, I enjoyed her singing on "Supposin' " so much, here: Pure pleasure to watch and listen!!! Anyone knows about those band members (cl, p, b?). Is there any other record or CD with the same group? Quote
jazzbo Posted May 16, 2009 Report Posted May 16, 2009 That's Erince Felice on accordian. . . it may be his group. Quote
