medjuck Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) I just read the following in an on-line essay about The Sound of Jazz: " In 1956, he recorded a blues with Giuffre at Music Inn, ." (The "he" being Pee Wee Russell.) Is this correct? I can find no reference to a recording of Giuffre at Music Inn except the record with the MJQ. Edited March 23, 2019 by medjuck stupidity Quote
paul secor Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) I believe that several tracks with Jimmy Giuffre and Pee Wee Russell were included on The Complete Capitol and Atlantic Mosaic box. Edited March 23, 2019 by paul secor Quote
JSngry Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 Don't know about a recording, but I seem to recall reading (in an old Saturday Review?) that there was a joke about those two being the clarinet "faculty" at the Lenox School, people were asking, yeah, ok, now who's going to teach ABOVE the break? meaning who's going to teach the top half of the horn? Maybe that's a "musician's joke", but I find it pretty funny. Not accurate, just funny. Quote
paul secor Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 If you're into bootlegs, semi-bootlegs, or whatever you want to call them, the tracks are available here: https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Quartet-Giuffre-Complete-Recordings/dp/B000BYAD16 Quote
Larry Kart Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 Also, one 1957 track with them from "The Sound of Jazz." On YouTube. Quote

Yes, They're on both the supposed rehearsal record (I always thought it was a CBS tie-in recording session) and the tv show. 1 hour ago, paul secor said: If you're into bootlegs, semi-bootlegs, or whatever you want to call them, the tracks are available here: https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Quartet-Giuffre-Complete-Recordings/dp/B000BYAD16 So is he on the legitimate MJQ with Giuffre cd? It appears not on the Discogs credits. Edited March 23, 2019 by medjuck Quote
paul secor Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 I was mistaken. Giuffre and Pee Wee only play on one track from this LP: Historic Jazz Concert at Music Inn - Atlantic 1298. Here's the discographical info: https://www.jazzdisco.org/historic-jazz-concert-at-music-inn/discography/ Apologies for any confusion I may have raised. Quote
