No.127: clifford brown with lionel hampton 1953 (previously unreleased)

basel, switzerland, september 25, 1953: a new cd on the swiss „tcb“ label in it´s „swiss radio days jazz series“ vol. 17, is out now. with this concert recording of lionel hampton and his orchestra from his european tour 1953 there are new recordings of clifford brown!! the sound quality is superb! it is a welcome in the rare recordings of this big band of 1953. (to my knowlegde there are only 7 other concert-recordings by hampton on this tour (and only 3 with clifford brown solos!) the répertoire is part of well known hampton features (on vibes and piano) and exciting big band jump. there are solos by oscar estelle, baritone sax, anthony ortega, alto and clarinet, james cleveland, tb, the tenor saxes of clifford scott and clifford solomon and the trumpet section of walter williams, art farmer, benny bailey, clifford brown and quincy jones (he is also on piano because the original pianist george wallington was fired a few days earlier). there is more from this concert in basel on part 2 coming out in autumn this year.

No.125: fugato

I would be also interested if anyone knows is there any two-line (or more) melody or theme written by Bird. I thing he was preety much in to it, at least in his mind after the 1st,Paris Jazz Festiva 1949 and his plans to stady with Nadia Boulanger begining of the '50.

No.123: RE: Mr Tsuji Bird

I attended the funeral of Mr Tsuji(the chairman of The Charlie Parker Society Of Japan).
He seemed cheerful in a picture of the late Mr tsuji having a mug.
His energetic activety was always encouraged me very much.
Let us pray for the repose of his soul.
