New Etta Jones live at the Left Bank 1971

[Stefan Wood]

Does anyone have info on this?  

[JSngry]

It's good!

Also - note the rhythm section and the date. That trio was in peak form and working aplenty. Here, they do the same arrangement of Love Story that they do on Breakthrough, and it hits just as good a pocket here as it does there. And Etta's in great form, maybe not as locked-in as she would be once her comeback(?) gained traction a few years later, but that's a good thing to hear, imo. Not that there's anything wrong with the Muse/etc "formula", just that it's a reminder that she got there by choice, not out of necessity. But hell, I like her no matter what.

Thanks!

Where did the source tape come for this  Does the source tape reside in a box with other LB tapes??

[bertrand]

One Left Bank member has a lot of tapes.

Just got this and I am fucking pissed.

The liner notes credit me as working at the Library of Congress. This is an error that keeps following me that was created by an idiot Washington Post reporter. I have never worked there and never will.

Glad the Left Bank tapes are all being digitized, but I first tried to pitch this idea 25 years ago, when the tapes were in better shape.

•  could you use this as leverage to score some tape copies, for investment purposes- i propose a box set----- (god i hit one wrong button up above and the formatting got all screwed up)

Hate to burst your bubble, but it seems that they do not have any tapes of Hank at Left Bank.

Note that I did not say his gigs were not recorded...

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

someone has them!!!!

[bertrand]

He may not have been recorded but there is no way to guarantee one way or the other. There are multiple lists floating around, none of which I have seen...
