Daniel A Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 - that's a nice rhythm section on the video. Göran Lindberg (p), Göran Pettersson (b), Leif Wennerström (dr). They appeared also with other guesting artists at "Gyllene Cirkeln" (The Golden Circle) where the Dorham video was recorded. Here with Idrees Sulieman: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Any idea when this was done? The video credits indicate January 1964. KD was touring Scandinavia at the time. Fabulous clip. There's also a recording of Dorham that came with the CD in Randi Hultin's book that must have been recorded around this time. Reminds me of his great playing on the Cedar Walton Prestige LPs of this vintage. A total original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) b) the presenter of said programme made his announcement while a waitress stood next to him with a bowl of porkchops, and then later while waving around a little tiny gramophone horn. Was this directed by Buñuel? I think the gramophone horn is actually a miniature trumpet. It seems that the TV show was called "The Trumpet" ('Trumpeten' in Swedish), presumably dedicated to (jazz?) trumpeters. Those really were the days...

JSngry Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 So, who was the host anyway? That cat's a trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Sweet Clip Concerning the Joe Henderson albums, I wanted to single out 'In 'n' Out' and 'Our Thing' as my favorites; his playing on these records is phenomenal. Great stuff from a wonderful partnership. I also really dig 'Whistle Stop' and 'Una Mas' (and yeah, I don't mind hearing it 'one more time' -_- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 So, who was the host anyway? That cat's a trip! Not sure, but might have been Swedish jazz bassist and record company boss Simon Brehm (1921-1967). I've seen reruns of other TV shows hosted by him (most of them many years ago). There are early 60s shows with Sonny Rollins, Ben Webster and lots of other jazz greats on visit in Stockholm. Pretty sure everything is still in the archives of the Swedish Television. Simon Brehm with bassists Ray Brown and Erik Linström: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel A Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 (edited) Any idea where this clip is from and whether the full performance is available somewhere? The description says 1966. Due to the somewhat uneven video, it's difficult to tell whether the video actually matches the audio, but sometimes it looks like it at least.

Looks an awful lot like Newport to me. This site suggests the same (scroll way down): Lights, Camera, Backbeat - Search (lightscamerabackbeat.com) Festival Field, Newport, Rhode Island, July 2, 1966.

Gheorghe Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 Didn´t know that Kenny Dorham still played so late in his career. I had thought he had stopped after "Trompeta Tocata". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that help, since I had totally forgotten about this. But I think in comparation to Blue Note Strata East was relativly low profile. By the way, I have the Strata East stuff as a Mozaic box, but if I´m honest I bought it only because of "Rhythm X", which was quite of favourite music in my early teens, when an older guy had it, and I had it then on cassetofon, until finally thru those mozaic sets I could purchase it. I fear my impression on the other CDs of that box was not very big. I heard some tunes with strange titles like "Viena" and "Uagadugu" , it sounds nice but somehow depressed me, since for 1969 it has such an air of mortality in it. Even the liner photos show obviously cats who had seen better times....., 1969 was not a good year for acoustic music and the interest of jazz got smaller......

I also have heard about some Parker Memorial, but somehow Parker Memorials have something bitter-sweet in them. Let´s say 1965 when they somehow put a completly drunk Bud Powell alone on stage to stumble at some "Round Midnight", although even in that very last moments of his live, drowned with alcool, he still had his "touch" !!! And maybe that 1970 stuff was similar, with an almost dead Kenny Dorham on stage. I had heard he died of kidney failure. Kidney ailments are often very long stories with dializă or if you are lucky with transplant. I feel so sorry with all people who suffer from that thing, it´s harder to repair than a weak heart or somethin..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 Given that Kenny played with Cedar for Prestige in '67 and that many former Blue Note artists recorded for Prestige, I'm kind of surprised he didn't do anything as a leader for them after he left Prestige...

Prestige was one of the main labels I bought records of, when I was at the beginning. Other than BN (which was very hard to achive in Europe or each second LP was OOP and no more in the "Bielefeld Jazz-Cataloque" , Prestige hat a lot of records, and those that was OOP was at least on the Double Albums. So double Albums was the most looked after thing. More music for relative less money..... But that was the "golden 50´s", where all them hard boppers went weekly to RVG to record... But I´m always kinda depressed if I hear a Prestige stuff from later, let´s say the 60s or the 70´s since I´m sure musicians like former BN artists (Dexter Gordon) were better paid by Alfred Lion than by Prestige (wasn´t Prestige the half mafiot Richard Carpenter ? ).
