rare Oscar Dennard Japanese CD on eBay

[thirdtry]

Hi!

Just wanted to mention that I'm selling a pretty rare CD on eBay that someone here might be interested in. The auction ends Sunday.

It's THE LEGENDARY OSCAR DENNARD, a rare session from 1958. Here's the details:

This session features Oscar Dennard (piano), Idrees Sulieman (trumpet), Jamil Nasser (bass) and Buster Smith (drums) and was recorded in July 1958.

This Japan CD features 7 tracks and runs about an hour.

Tracks:

1 - All Of You (6:51)

2 - Visa (11:21)

3 - Pinky (4:26)

4 - Stella By Starlight (12:24)

5 - Confirmation (9:55)

6 - Tour De Force (4:26)

7 - Tangier Blues (12:05)

The CD and booklet are both in like-new condition! Pristine!

Thanks for looking!

Interesting...would you happen to know if this is previously unreleased material and/or what the original label was?

Oscar Dennard and Idrees Sulieman...wow!

It's a beautiful quartet recording.

I'm sure there are others here that know the history of the session better than I do. It's on the "Somethin' Else Classics" label and was recorded at the Radio Tangier International Studio. Michael Cuscuna is listed on the back cover as a "series director."

The booklet (in English although there is also a Japanese insert) gives a rundown of how the session happened but no history of where else this session may have appeared (if anywhere).

I think this might be one of those odd, little recording sessions that occurred and then slipped through the cracks.

It is a fine session, which should be better known.

That Somethin' Else CD is the only issue ever!

Nice session, though not earth shattering, but a unique document. I'd never part with it.

Thanks for all the info!

Hey Jim - tried to PM you. The internet is your friend. . .

So is eBay, as long as things don't get too crazy.

But it's always good to have a Plan B. always!
