The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 Do we love the inadvertently hilarious anthropological liner notes by Gunther Schuller on the Buster Smith album?

MG Uhhhhhh.... In addition to being a good drummer and a charming singer, Ray was the voice of Major Bloodnok in the Goon Show, and sang a song during each show (I see that Ray Nance guested with him on this once). Actually, I rather think that Ray was my real introduction to jazz, in terms of something that I heard regularly while I was a kid. MG Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 Jim's off-board link to a Clovers you tube cut reminded me I didn't have a decewnt compilation of one of the best R&B groups of the early fifties, so today the postman brought me The Clovers - The platinum collection - Atlantic (Rhino) MG Quote
coooltrane Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 This arrived today! Enjoy! I know that I am Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 7, 2012 Report Posted November 7, 2012 This turned up on Monday Ray Ellington - The three bears - Avid 1948-49 recordings. Very nice indeed; even better than I remembered from the early fifties when he was a regular on the Goon Show. Kind of a combination of Nat Cole and Louis Jordan. MG Quote
BillF Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 A true classic! Indeed! Have known it since it was issued, but have never owned it till now. Quote
