medjuck Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 I know it's a political website but you can skip the politics -Bergian will especially want to- and go directly to http://newstalgia.crooksandliars.com/ . Type "jazz" in the search box and you'll be offered some amazing stuff. There were a couple of Ellington concerts that even the mavens on the Duke-Lym list serve hadn't heard. I don't know who runs this site but they sure know their music. Quote
brownie Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 Incredible... a quick search produced this gem: Birdland 1952 A broadcast with a Pete Brown group and a Kai Winding allstar cast (with Dorham, McLean, Horace...) Medjuck, you're The Best Quote
king ubu Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 Wow, thanks for this! Will have to check it out! And PETE BROWN, perfect timing, too! Quote
mjzee Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 Thanks for that link, medjuck. Fascinating stuff. Looks like they're all at 64 kbps, and you can hear it too - wish it were at a higher bit rate. Quote
king ubu Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 Yeah, saw that 64kbs thing too - but hell, these are old air-checks mostly, so... great chance to listen to some rare stuff! Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 thanks for the awesome........ Quote
Michael Weiss Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) This URL brings up 9 Birdland broadcasts: http://newstalgia.cr...x?keys=birdland This is an incredible find. I haven't seen the Kai Winding with KD/JMac mentioned anywhere else! Amazing. Edited October 6, 2011 by Michael Weiss Quote
brownie Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 A rare glimpse of the Tal Farlow trio (with Eddie Costa and Vinnie Burke) at the Composer in July 1956 Live at the Composer Club Quote
jay2b2 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) A great find - thanks to the original poster. I d'led five of the Birdland broadcasts, which fit onto 2 CDs.

Michael Weiss Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 Complete set of the Jazztet at Newport June 30, 1960 Art Farmer, Benny Golson, Bernard McKinney, Duke Pearson, Addison Farmer, Lex Humphries It Ain't Necessarily So The Portrait Bean Bag Killer Joe Mox Nix Quote
mattes Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Wow, that's one helluva private collection. Thanks for the tip, and thanks to Gordon Skene for making this giant stash public. Quote
brownie Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Also worth checking is: The Timex All-Star Jazz Concert where many of the big names were gathered (even includes Paul Desmond briefly soloing next to Louis Armstrong!) Quote
Dan Gould Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Complete set of the Jazztet at Newport June 30, 1960 Art Farmer, Benny Golson, Bernard McKinney, Duke Pearson, Addison Farmer, Lex Humphries It Ain't Necessarily So The Portrait Bean Bag Killer Joe Mox Nix This is available for FLAC download from Wolfgang's Vault. Looks like another worthwhile search is for "blues" as there are some airchecks of some early R&B, a Muddy Waters concert and others of interest. I also notice the Messengers set with Golson and Timmons but I am guessing this was out on CD in the Swiss Radio Days series? Guess I'll need to check to make sure. Can never have enough Morgan, sayeth the Mogie Man. Quote
AllenLowe Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) PETE BROWN! first live thing of his I've ever heard - WOW - very boppish - Edited October 21, 2011 by AllenLowe Quote
BeBop Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Great find, Joe - thanks! Yes, thanks! Quote
JSngry Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 2. Blue Velvet / I’m In The Mood For Love / I Didn’t Sleep A Wink Last Night Arthur Prysock: Prysock (vcl) acc by unknown p Wow, this one is killer. Quote
Dan Gould Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 I also notice the Messengers set with Golson and Timmons but I am guessing this was out on CD in the Swiss Radio Days series? Guess I'll need to check to make sure. Can never have enough Morgan, sayeth the Mogie Man. Finally looked on AMG - the Swiss Radio Days releases were from the 1960 band with Shorter. I don't see any indication this has been issued officially but as it turns out a FLAC copy was posted almost three years ago on Dime. So no need for a 64 KB download. But if you don't do Dime or missed it, this is an excellent set. Quote

bertrand Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Just saw this thread. Can one actually download the set with J. Mac? Bertrand. Quote

Only noticing this now .. Ubu I never implied that the TCB releases shouldn't be bought if its possible to get it elsewhere. The Dime set isn't what they put out but anyone interested in the show that is on the crooks site should seek out what was available on Dime for much better sound. Quote
king ubu Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Sorry Dan, misread your post... I had read your post above in a way that I read the "this" in "I don't see any indication this has been issued officially" as reference to the TCB disc. Things like this happens to non-natives, I'm afraid. Quote
