king ubu Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 I've had mine on order for months now! Got a shipping notification a few days ago, hope to have it waiting for me at home now, too! Quote
mikeweil Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Sound quality is okay, much better than most live recordings from that era I have, but not top notch. Quote
AllenLowe Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 just noticed, AL Drears is on drums on this - terrific player, I think I played a wedding with him in the late 1970s - anybody know whatever happend to him? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Curious if I receive any mention in the credits. Quote
Clunky Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Got my copy yesterday. I'm a real LT nut and have a large number of his sessions as leader and sideman. This release is a real treat. I wonder who we would have to pressurize to see the NDR Jazz workshop sessions released ( a worthy Mosaic !!!) Quote

I wonder who we would have to pressurize to see the NDR Jazz workshop sessions released ( a worthy Mosaic !!!) A radio station, a producer, musicians (dozens!), heirs (several dozens), agents.... or in short: lawyers, lawyers, lawyers - I'd love to see this material officially released of course, but chances are minimal from how I understand the situation about releasing radio material.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 But then there is indeed a scene in a Paris nightclub that opens with a full view of Kenny Clarke at the drums then the camera pans back and Lucky Thompson is also on stage playing tenor. Pierre Michelot is along on bass and Maurice Vander on piano. The sequence is really damn short with Diannah Carroll performing the movie title song, not by Brahms but by Georges Auric. Sacha Distel as well? Quote
brownie Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Sacha Distel does not appear in that jazz sequence Lucky, Klook and Pierre Michelot. He is seen in another scene! Very nice to see you reappear! Quote
Gheorghe Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 This sure is from Paris, BlueNote Club maybe. Around 1960. The golden time, when God himself (Bud Powell) was in town. Lucky Thompson performed with him. Got a tune on which they appear both, with Pierre Michelot and Klook, and Jimmy Gourley on guitar if I´m rite. Quote
Michael Weiss Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Finally managed to view the 1961 film 'Aimez-Vous Brahms' (Goodbye Again) directed by Anatole Litvak and starring Ingrid Bergman, Yves Montand and Anthony Perkins. Heard there was a club scene that had Lucky Thompson playing in a short sequence. The first hour went did not carry much interest. Except for good acting by la Bergman as a 40-year old unmarried woman and Anthony Perkins as a young fortune heir plus Yves Montand at some of his worst! But then there is indeed a scene in a Paris nightclub that opens with a full view of Kenny Clarke at the drums then the camera pans back and Lucky Thompson is also on stage playing tenor. Pierre Michelot is along on bass and Maurice Vander on piano. The sequence is really damn short with Diannah Carroll performing the movie title song, not by Brahms but by Georges Auric. Looks like the scene was filmed at the long gone La Calavados club off the Champs-Elysees. Pianist Joe Turner played there every night for years but he does not appear in the film. There was a soundtrack album released of Auric's music but from what I understand Diannah Carroll sang a version of 'Goodbye Again' to the accompaniment of Ferrante and Teicher Just saw this on TV. Great to see this band. Quote
