Marcel Fleiss Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 "Marcel the Furrier" (recorded by the Oscar Pettiford Sextet) is an intriguing title. But who was Marcel? Do I remember reading that he was a Belgian who supplied Bird when he was in Europe, or am I completely wrong about this? Anyone know? i have the explanation of this title, but infortunately only in french : Dans la session de 1954, un petit joyau : "Marcel The Furrier " avec un magnifique solo d'Al Cohn, précédé de celui de Tal Farlow qui est excellent. Ce titre a été écrit en hommage à Marcel Fleiss, un photographe français passionné de jazz. Un autre titre (" Burt's Pad ") est dédié à un autre photographe (Burt Goldblatt). this title was written for a french photograph named marcel Fleiss ( maybe fleiss means "furrier" in deutch ? ) an other title, " burt's Pad" is dedicated to a photograph: burt goldblatt. sorry for my english. Merci de votre explication, Gaston. de rien c'est tout naturel... I am "marcel le fourreur" because before beeing an art galerist I was working with furs and my friend Henri Renaud wr oe this tune for me. You can see my Jazz photos on Jazz;Com Quote
