Gheorghe Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 17 hours ago, John L said: Yes. The closest thing that we have are the Billy Eckstine band recordings from 1944-1945. But Bird wasn't present on any of those. I heard that pre 1944 there was a recording "ban" whatever that means. That must have been a desaster for the record industry and for the musicians. Maybe it had to do with that scheiss-krieg and now we can´t hear much of the real story of the transition from swing to bop. Well there is "Early Bird" with the Jay McShann Orchestra that gives us a glimpse of how music was then, but I heard that Diz and Bird and Oscar Pettiford were on the street as early as 1943,44 ....

I have heard Ralph Burns only on that "Saturday Night Jazz Session" on the America Label, that group with Fats Navarro (the reason I bought it then in the 70´s ) , Allen Eager, Charlie Ventura, Buddy Rich and I think that first number "High on an Open Mike" started with Ralph Burns on piano. I remember it was a quite unusual style, mostly with very heavy block chords on that descending chords in the bridge (I think I remember the song is based on "If I had You" in the A section with a bridge of descending chords). 4 hours ago, mjzee said: Disc 1. That´s really a good group. That rhythm section, George Cables incredible solo on that long Art Pepper composition something with "Make a Wish" or so. I must admit I like the rhythm section more than the star himself, though sure he´s great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could have only one blues disc, it would be disc 2 from this set. (It is not a selected compilation as the title might suggest but all of Muddy Waters' first recordings for Chess) So pleased I managed to see the Muddy Waters Blues Band. It was in 1969 in the unlikely setting of the Variety Club in the small town of Batley in Yorkshire. (Mind you, they also got Louis Armstrong on another occasion!) The Waters band was in a package with the Horace Silver Quintet (Brecker Bros) and a gospel group (Stars of Faith?) 2 hours ago, EKE BBB said: 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was that trip that a young Enrico Tomasso got presented with a trumpet by Louis at the airport, presumably Yeadon (Leeds/Bradford). Alyn Shipton in his book tells a story about his school mates driving up to see the Armstrong Batley gig from Hampshire in a Dormobile driven by a 17 year old who had just passed his test. Alyn’s Mum put the stoppers on him going, needless to say the guys travelled safely and had a wonderful time. Excellent !
