There are two of them and he plays so great ! Only I never understood why they picked up so obscure sidemen, such a music should have Kenny Drew, Paul Chambers and Art Blakey ! These guys probably were players he was familiar with. Those you mention might have been slightly too modern for him and may have tended to steal the spotlight a bit. His sidemen totally support him and that serves him perfectly. He needed players with a strong R & B touch. The Dexter sessions took place but remained unreleased for many years, there is a tinge of sadness about the loss of his former Eckstine bandmate lingering over them.

Interesting remark and you may be right ! Maybe Blakey would have fitted in, since he had played numerous gigs and recording sessions with Leo Parker in Leo´s best years, the 40´s. With Tadd, with Mr. B. ..... About pianists it´s hard to say, with Bud on the other side of the ocean I couldn´t imagine another better 40´s rooted piano player. With bassists, well BN sometimes gave veteran bass players a session so it´s astonishing that the then "modern" Sonny Rollins for a typical 50´s hard bop session would be combined with the veteran Gene Ramey, or Griffin with also veteran Curley Russell. 20 minutes ago, Dave Garrett said: I don´t know absolutly nothing about sports, but is this the "Lou Ghering" about whom I had read in context with Mingus´ terminal desease which is also called "Lou Ghering Desease" until I learned that this was a sportsman.

Ken Dryden Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Duke Ellington appears in the film as "Pie Eye." There's also a photo of Ellington and Jimmy Stewart appearing to play duo piano. I don't recall if that is shown in the film or just a publicity shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
