Larry Kart Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 It sounds and looks like him to me. Also, looks like that's Dennis Budimir on guitar. Other Fagerquist photos from various eras: http://www.jazzhistorydatabase.com/collect...ist-photos.html Quote

JSngry Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 London does not seem all that truly connected to what is happening behind/underneath her, but she also seems like she's digging the hell out of it anyways. Gotta love that! Quote
Larry Kart Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 About London digging things, there's a story about her told once by trombonist Milt Bernhart. At the time Bernhart was with Benny Goodman, playing a stage show in which London's then-husband (1947-53) Jack Webb (hot from "Dragnet") was making an appearance. Goodman and the band were invited to the Webbs' hotel suite (or maybe to their apartment) for a party, at which Webb proudly put on a Dixieland recording, he being a big fan of that music (vide "Pete Kelly's Blues"). London strode to the phonograph, removed the record in mid-stream and replaced it with a Charlie Parker recording. Bernhart said that he knew right then that this marriage was on the rocks. Quote
Larry Kart Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 False alarm; that's not Fagerquist. A poster on Jazz West Coast writes: A bit of internet snooping reveals: Julie London with Bobby Troup - Live In Japan 1964 - Filmed for TV broadcast w/o audience. Lineup: Julie London, Bobby Troup - piano, Joe Burnett - tpt; Dennis Budimir - gtr; Don Bagley - bs; Dewells [Dee] Barton - drs. Quote
mjzee Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks for posting that, Larry. Loved her delivery and phrasing - reminded me of Annie Ross. Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 she sure looked good in that nurse's uniform, can't remember the show (Emergency?) Quote
flat5 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Stupid arrangement. Only good part was the trumpet solo. Quote

Swinging Swede Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Speaking of Julie London & Don Bagley... Quote
Larry Kart Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 Speaking of Julie London & Don Bagley... Yes -- I wonder how he could keep playing with Julie glued to his side. Also, on a number of the tracks from that show, Budimir's comping is pretty special (e.g. behind Troup on "Route 66"). Quote
