Thanks! This was a nice way to end the day after a hike in Glacier park, sitting by the fire. Cool music for a cool night! Im a big fan of Parker and Gordon also. My dads old 78s mostly and things I've purchased at garage sales since i started collecting 78s about 1980. I have about 2000 78s now.
Stumbled on your site. Great stuff. I think what the critic is referring to is the JATP concerts where they had tenor sax 'battles' which included quite a bit of 'tasteless' honking but it sure as hell was exciting. I caught a JATP concert in Houston in 1957 and Flip was one of the battlers. A real treat for this alto sax playing, jazz fan high school senior. Thanks for your enthusiasm and taste.
I love when you spin your 78's! I collect Frank Sinatra and own most of his early Columbia Records 78's. Btw, do you have a podcast where you spin your 78's?
how many 78s do you own of Frank Sinatra? I've got one copy of "Why Try To Change Me Now/Birth Of The Blues" and a promo of "South Of The Border/I Love You".
Loved the flip-side on that first record! I'll have to look up and learn more about the Apollo label. I've never heard of it. What was the book that you mentioned in the beginning that you used to do research with? Really happy to see Arnett Cobb on this episode too. I bought a copy of Smooth Sailing not too long ago too and have been diving into his Prestige catalog more and more. Appreciated the extra bio info about each of the leaders too!
Hey Jeff really enjoying this one, it's a Saturday morning and I wish the grocery store so it's really hectic this is a nice somewhat calm listening session that are thoroughly enjoying keep up the great work Jesiah. PS do you have any rhythm and blues or jump blues in your 78 collection?, I have wine only Harris, hey Adams Lewis Jordan, Roy Milton, Roy Brown and his mighty Man among a few other one, many of these people have named were in jazz groups before ever recorded what many call pre rock and roll or rhythm and blues, Louis Jordan was part of Tinfiny 5 and several other jazz outfits before he hit the big time with his song Caledonia in 1945 or 46, Little Richard got his shouting and some of his mannerisms from Louis Jordan.
Interesting! Super cool when you find something unusual or rare. Make a video and who what you find. I always enjoy seeing what 78s others find and collect. Thanks for watching and commenting. Skol! Jeff
