Durium Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) LLOYD MILLER Dr. Lloyd Miller left the jazz scene in L.A. where he was playing at the Red Feather, the Digger and the Purple Onion to live one year in Tehran (Iran), from where he continued on to Frankfurt (Germany) to become part of the jazz scene in Europe from 1958 to 1963.

Big Beat Steve Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Will check my copies of German, Swedish and French jazz mags from those years but from what I remember having read there about touring international acts sitting in with locals this name does not ring a bell AT ALL. Could be that except for Comblain la Tour (where he MUST have made headlines) he might have been somewhat under the radar of the jazz press. But possibly I've overlooked something. And just for the record, the correct spellings of those Swedish jazzmen (so they can be researched elsewhere) are SEYMOUR ÖSTERWALL and LARS FÄRNLÖF That Turkish trumpeter he mentions must be MAFFY FALAY (born Muvaffal Falay) who started out in the late 50s/early 60s and in the years after became quite a household name on the Swedish jazz scene. BTW, that info on the "Jazz Greats in Europe I and II" CDs (which do sound tempting) on the site you link to is a bit skimpy. Any track list or other recording info available on what's on those CDs exactly? And correcting the spelling of the local musicians involved couldn't hurt either ...

The same silence in my carrilon ........ He has posted some news paper articles on his website. Please inform me if you have more info. BTW: I don't have further info nor track list then what's on his website. BTW2: I changed the names. Thank for that !
