[Jazztropic]

Any help appreciated.Searched the web found nothing.Love to find this cd .

[Ken Dryden]

This is a previously unreleased studio session that was available on LP, but has not been reissued on CD in the U.S. It may have been reissued in Europe or Japan.

[jazzbo]

Yes, this was released on cd by CBS France. . . or at least my version is that one. About ten or more years ago.

Hard to find these days. . . .I don't have a source, sorry.

I dunno, man, you can get the LP for 6 bucks on eBay. The music's the same and so are the liner notes. Throw in another 20 cents for a blank CDR and how much ever more you want to spend on photocopying the cover, and that's a pretty good deal in terms of both price and immediate gratification.

Plus, you'll have the original original!

This thread (more exactly its predecessor) caused me to burn a copy of my "original". What a wonderful date. I do wish to disagree with an assessment of the date as being similar to the "Spacemen" date. For me it has a very different feel. The tune selection, Nance, Hodges, Carney and (especially) Mr Lawrence Brown are a different kettle of fish. Beautiful!

[JSngry]

Yeah, this pne is not at all out of place in the bedroom....

Or any other room for that matter.

"Beautiful" pretty much sums it up.

Could be why you've been married so damn long.

Slap Brenda on the behind for me - with love.

Okay, to clarify I just meant it was closer to that date than say Such Suite Thunder or Piano in the Background.

I like it. . . I haven't heard it in a long time. . . can't rectify that for a while. . . wish it would come out in an expanded edition. (I bet there's more!)

Might be in the can already - produced by Phil Schaap. Can't wait to hear the bonus track titled "Lawrence Brown swears".

[jazzbo]

Ah, who would be surprised that Lawrence Brown swears? No sensationalist controversy there. He's the son of a preacher man, they all swear!

(Takes one. . . to know one).

I'd love if it were in the can and came out. . . but I want "A Drum is A Woman" (which WAS in the can) to come out first!

[JSngry]

All this talk of coming out of the can reminds me of my old man hollering at me when i was a teenager.

Was he yelling "hey boy, come look at this before I flush"?

[JSngry]

My dad never shared his defecations with anybody. He was funny that way.

Musta been the Illinois Missouri Synod Lutheran in him.

[Larry Kart]

Hey, the leader of our high school jazz band -- Bill Brimfield among the trumpets, Steve Bagby the drummer, Ann Margret (!) the vocalist -- was bassist Bruce Anderson, son of the then-head of Illinois Missouri Synod Lutheran Church, the Rev. O.V. Anderson. The Rev. Anderson was one fearsome dude -- a dour, towering figure who loathed jazz and, so it seemed, any form of pleaurable activity. BTW, Bruce, who was and still is a darn good bassist, went on to become a Lutheran minister himself; his church is in Morton Grove, Ill. Also BTW, when I say high school jazz band, this was before the stage band thing and school sponsorship -- it was just the guys from New Trier H.S. (and some from nearby Evanston H.S., like Brimfield) who wanted to play jazz.

I realize this thread is now 12 years old, but if anybody’s still looking to track down Unknown Session, it’s included as an individual CD in the Ellington Columbia 1959-61 Studio Album Collection box. I picked it up new for about $28 off an eBay seller just to get Unknown Session and The Girls Suite, which is included as a bonus on the Nutcracker Suite CD. Halfway through Unknown Session and have to second all previous assessments of it as beautiful.
