ladenso1 Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 I recently became aware that the great Los Angeles Elks Memorial Concert of July 5, 1947 (relying on memory; I think that's the correct date) was reissued fairly recently as a 3 CD set, titled _Bopland_, and that it contains a 20 minute-or-so jam on "Perdido", never previously issued. If anyone could give a personnel listing for that track I'd really appreciate it. Quote
brownie Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 The liner notes to Bopland has this personnel for 'Perdido': Wild Bill Moore, Gene Montgomery, tenor, Russ Freeman, piano, probably Shifty Henry, bass, probably Leroy Gray, drums. Quote

Sort of what I suspected. Thanks Brownie! Quote

Sort of what I suspected. Thanks Brownie! I saw _Black California, Vol. 2_ lying around today, so checked out its liner notes. That two LP set contains a side-length "What is This Thing Called Love?" from the Elks Concert, with the personnel that Brownie provided. In addition, Bob Porter wrote: "Discographers will want to note that there are two more performances from this evening. There is a long rambling "Perdido" by this group where a third tenor player (not Dexter or Wardell) joins the proceeding..." Has anyone who's heard this noticed that third tenor? Quote
