Chas Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 There is an alternate cover for this, no? I feel like I've seen another issue. Perhaps you were thinking of the other Rollins' Metrojazz ( E-1002 ) : This one was out in 1999 on CD and did have four tracks done at Music Inn as bonus cuts : Limehouse Blues I'll Follow My Secret Heart You Are Too Beautiful Doxy These tracks are on Metrojazz E-1011 , so that leaves the other two tracks orphaned for now .

brownie Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Two cuts on the Metro Jazz LP E-1011, Sonny Rollina at Music Inn/Teddy Edwards at Falcon's Lair. They do a ROLLIKING "Bille's Bounce" and "A Foggy Day". It's a very lively recording. I'll bet there were at one time a couple of HOURS of this material on tape--I wonder if the masters exist? In the liner notes to the MetroJazz LP, Leonard Feather wrote that 'Falcon Lair, the spacious mansion where these tracks were recorded, is the Beverly hills home of Doris Duke, a dedicated patron of jazz and longtime friend of Joe's (Castro). The house, already immortalized by Oscar Pettiford in one of his compositions (The Pendulum at Falcon's Lair) was recently fitted with stereophonic recording equipment and many free-wheeling, unpretentious blowing sessions have been recorded there, of which this is the first to be released'. A search for those tapes could be more than interesting! Maybe some Mosaic releases in the future One can always dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head Man Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) This one came out last year with Zoot Sims playing with the Joe Castro Trio; recorded at Falcon's Lair on April 1, 1956 ... and very good it is too!

But I was glad to be right that the name rang a bell with me. It's so annoying when you can't exactly recall the connection. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) Joe Castro was Doris Duke's boyfriend during this period. They were married for a few years in the late 50's/early 60's and when they split up Castro moved on to the Las Vegas scene. As far as I know he's still there.
