jeffcrom Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) I recently purchased a used cd copy of "That Da Da Strain" on Portrait. There is no discographical information apart from a few hints on oputstanding soloists in the liner notes by Dan Morgenstern. Does anyone have a full listing of personnel and dates? Listening to the LP this morning, I realized that I gave the wrong personnel and date for the last two tracks. I corrected my post above; here is the correct info for those tracks: Clarinet Marmalade Singin' The Blues Bobby Hackett - cornet; Bernie Mattison - trumpet; Jerry Borshard - tb; Bob Riedel - clarinet; George Dessinger - tenor sax; Jim Beitus - baritone sax; Frankie Carle - piano; Bob Knight - guitar; Eddie McKinney - bass; Don Carter - drums; LA, Jan. 25, 1940 Edited July 17, 2009 by jeffcrom Quote
JSngry Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Frankie Carle? For real? My dad was a big Frankie Carle fan, had a big bunch of his 1950s RCA albums, but it was all cocktail/society stuff. But here he is playing jazz w/Bobby Hackett. Interesting! Quote

JSngry Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 I wonder if Hackett was the connection that brought Carle's "Sunrise Serenade" to the Miller band? Quote
jazzbo Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Lots of great Hackett on George H. Buck labels . . . . Here's one of my favorites: http://www.jazzology.com/item_detail.php?id=JCD-111 Complete World 1943 Quote
tjluke68 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 What about CREOLE COOKIN' on Verve with Bob Brookmeyer, Jerry Dodgion, Pepper Adams, Zoot Sims, Joe Farrell, Bob Wilber, Dave McKenna and others! Probably one of my favourite Hackett LPs... Quote
BruceH Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Yes (and better than you might think, although I prefer Hackett's more jazz-oriented music.) I actually toyed with the notion of getting the above Collectables CD, just so I could have those two albums in more convenient form. I eventually, years later, just ripped the songs from the Mosaic and burned them onto one disc, which, in fact, I'm listening to right now. I haven't decided on the Hackett Mosaic yet... might well be I'll get it in the end. Keep in mind, "Jazz Ultimate" and "Coast Concert" are not on the Hackett Mosaic, they're on the first Teagarden.

Trumpet Guy Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 One essential recommendation and one eccentric one: Essential: That Da Da Strain - A collection of small-group and big band sides from 1938 and 1939. The stuff with Pee Wee Russell is especially nice. It's been on various CBS labels over the years - I've got it on a Portrait LP. Eccentric: Hello Louis - A mid-60's album of Bobby playing Louis Armstrong compositions, common and obscure. It's a strange quasi-dixieland band, with Steve Lacy(!) on soprano sax. I like it a lot, but it certainly shouldn't be at the top of anyone's must-have Hackett list. It looks like it's out on a Collectibles CD, paired with one of his mood music albums. And one of my dirty little secrets is that I like Bobby Hackett's mood music albums. i love them, too, especially the duo one with glenn osser on pipe organ, and the gleason stuff, of course. i've played the tony bennet "the very thought of you'' easily a million times, mainly for the mindblowing hackett solo. the tension he builds in that solo is nearly unbearable. Can someone tell me what are the Gleason records--how many are there? Yesterday I bought "Music, Martinis and Memories" :)Also found "Bobby Hackett-The Most Beautiful Horn in the World" on Columbia which is excellent as well as "Enoch Light presents The Bobby Hackett Quartet plus Vic Dickerson"...I collect Hackett records like kids collect baseball cards Also which Tony Bennett LP has Hackett on it?

Probably one of my favourite Hackett LPs... I suggested that one to Mosaic as a Single one time, but didn't hear anything beyond "we'll look at it," which is their stock answer to irritants like me. I think it's a great album that really captures Hackett's gorgeous tone well, and I've always wondered if there weren't more things recorded at that session worth issuing. greg mo Quote
MartyJazz Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Not Dixieland by any means but one disc I've always enjoyed consists of a live date in early '71 that features Hackett in the company of Mary Lou Williams and Dizzy. Very worth hearing. Quote

It is interesting, and got an excellent review in Down Beat at the time, if memory serves, but the sound quality isn't very good. Provided you overlook that, it's a very interesting session. Dizzy and Mary Lou enjoyed something of a mutual admiration society. greg mo Quote

That's too bad! Would that mean that the Johnson/Winding is gone? I wanted to add it to several orders, but it's always been "on backorder", whatever that now means... Quote
jazzbo Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Probably that will reappear, but there will be no new ones, none are planned. I suggested a Roulette Phineas Newborn title and the response included a comment that there are no plans for new Singles. Edited July 28, 2009 by jazzbo Quote

That is bad news. I guess they must not have sold well. Any notion how we could suggest it to Verve for its "Originals" series?! greg mo Quote

jazzbo Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) That's available now (not in a week) from www.worldsrecords.com (and cheaper too). Edited September 2, 2009 by jazzbo Quote
jazzbo Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Thanks for the correction Mike. I discovered it's out of stock today, but I expect it will be in stock in a few days. Quote
