Dan Gould Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 That's very cool news, I had no idea that series was still active. They've put out tremendous concerts by Dexter Gordon, Art Blakey and others. BIG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Thanks bichos for giving us the good news about this release. Looks however that there is no Clifford Brown solo to be heard on that volume 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Beat Steve Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 MG, you're talking about the "Real Crazy" studio sessions issued on Vogue or about the live concert recordings from the European tour (September, 1953) issued on IAJRC LP 31 as well as on various CD's on the Stash and Natasha labels?

Christiern Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 No, although I did allow Don Schlitten to use one cut (w. a Brownie solo) on his International Jam Sessions Xanadu album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vogue material - I had an EP back in the day and only recently heard from Brownie that it was out on CD. Hamp isn't someone I've watched assiduously...

Brad Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Is part 2 Volume 18/19? I saw that on Amazon but it's a little pricey at $45. Volume 1 is available at CDU and just ordered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volume 1 is available at CDU and just ordered it. part 2 is volume 18. maybe it takes a little time until this cd is available at cdu. (here in germany the "cdu" is the conservative party of mrs. merkel)..... b.t.w.: all the other volumes are also great!! keep boppin´ marcel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swinging Swede Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks for the info! It's pretty astonishing that new Brownie still can be unearthed after over 50 years. I will have to pick up this one eventually. What I really would like to hear though, is the recordings he would have made after 1956.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 What I really would like to hear though, is the recordings he would have made after 1956. Well, in the early sixties, he would have done Bossa Nova albums for Verve, with Getz. He'd have signed for CTI in the early seventies...
