adh1907 Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Thanks so much Dan for looking into this for me and to the librarian for the detailed response. Very kind of you. I have tried, using my iphone and my macbook, on chrome and safari and still no joy! I wonder if other UK members of this Forum have any experiences of accessing these files?

Quasimado Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 The trio - well recorded, too. Barry's on fire ... There's one of Barry with Lee? What a treasure trove! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes everything is encoded to the Aviary site in MP3 unless its video. I am sure they have wav or FLAC files from the outside vendor that is digitizing reels, for archival purposes.

First off, there's no Barney Kessel actually playing; instead, for the first 20 minutes, it's technical difficulties and Schaap talking. Then, at the 20 minute mark, it's a totally different ensemble fronted by Percy France with Ed Cherry, Ervin Stokes, Sheldon Garry, and Chris Anderson. You might be interested.

Might be is an understatement! Holey Moley! I had not (obviously) so that is fantastic news. And Irvin Stokes, Ed Cherry and ... Chris Anderson (!) are all not previously heard with Percy. Thank you!

Dan Gould Posted October 15 Author Report Share Posted October 15 It's come to my attention that reel-to-reel is not the only source for worthwhile Schaap recordings from way back when. Here is a link to cassette sourced MP3s: https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/catalog?current_flock=false&f[collection_id_is][]=2137&f[description_source_search_facet_sms][]=Audiocassette&myresources=0&request_is_xhr=false&search_field=advanced&search_type=advance&sort=title_ss+asc&update_facets=true&user_ip=173.171.182.128 And an interesting one contained therein: https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/137221/file/254432 Brooks Kerr, Artie Miller, George Kelly, Sonny Greer. This search ought to catch all of them - Type is "Live Sound Recordings": https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/catalog?current_flock=false&f[collection_id_is][]=2137&f[description_type_search_facet_sms][]=Live+sound+recordings&myresources=0&request_is_xhr=false&search_field=advanced&search_type=advance&sort=title_ss+asc&update_facets=true&user_ip=173.171.182.128 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted October 16 Author Report Share Posted October 16 The link above can be confirmed as quite nice if you like that early swinging jazz style. And three hours long, too. Also was the start of "Young Swingsters" week at the West End, December 1979 and leaves me wondering if other nights got recorded and especially what other bands got recorded. Hopefully six more to come and dare I ask ... Percy France? He was appearing by then at the club if not necessarily getting booked as a leader yet. This one is also recent and very good: https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/132344 Only 30 minutes of music but a rare group under the George Kelly Jazz Sultans moniker. Instead of just a trumpeter in the front line its: Virgil Jones, trumpet, Benny Powell, trombone, Norris Turney, alto saxophone, Peck Morrison, bass, Ronnie Cole, drums, Richard Wyands, piano, George Kelly, tenor saxophone.

Niko Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/137619 this one looks like it might have been put together by Allen Lowe (Joe Albany, piano, Jeff Fuller, bass, Sir John Godfrey, drums, Dicky Myers, alto sax) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a nice live recording to add to the LP that Allen recorded: https://www.discogs.com/release/6186461-Dickey-Myers-Dickeys-Mood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
