R.I.P. great man !Marco Brian Rust died on 5th January. I know that there are those present far better qualified to pay tribute. I claim him as the most...
I think it was Sidney Poitier, though that's a tiny detail. I know the feeing well.  We are all very much indebted to Brian Rust for all he's done. ...

Came across this two part movie about how a 78 RPM record is made. I found it fascinating and would like to share it with the group. The title is in German, ...
A complete, maybe better copy of the original can be watched/downloaded from http://www.archive.org/details/CommandP1942 What I am curious to know, and is...
Hi Mordechai, Â If you are talking about the early OKeh label, a product of the General Record Co., then the production process would doubtless have been...
As far as I know, the Columbia records with a cardboard core and laminated surface were introduced during WWII as a way to combat the shortage of shellac,...
Hi Randy,  Ditto for the fine quality of laminated Columbia 78s!   But I'm certain that I've seen broken/damaged c. 1923 "flag" labeled Columbias with...
All true what you say Randy, except that 1920's Columbias (and later OKehs when Columbia owned the label) use an early plastic for their record surfaces, which...
I have meanwhile found the source for Redman's statement. It comes, via Daniel Nevers, from the famous French jazz researcher, critic and writer Charles...
The information in Daniel Nevers' letter as well as a considerable amount of new and relevant material are discussed in detail in Part Two of the article "Jean...
Dellow, Haim and Berresford (the latter is the editor of VJM) have not responded to private emails to them in which I pointed out the error in their article,...
Hans Eekhoff writes, "However, from Nevers' letter it is by no means clear what Redman himself exactly said about these sides." The section concerning "My...
"Daniel Nevers said that Delaunay said that Don Redman said....." etc. etc. I repeat, it is by no means clear what Redman SPECIFICALLY said about any other...
Mr Eekhoff complains that the assignment of McKinney’s Cotton Pickers musicians to the Goldkette recordings of "My Blackbirds Are Bluebirds Now" and "Don't...
Mr. Dellow, this is alas getting personal, because you are too impolite to answer emails which I send you - forcing this discussion to continue in public. That...
I suspected that something nasty might happen when I saw the beginning of this thread, unfortunately it did. I do not think that a discussion involving...
And I mentioned it myself in my previous posting - I tried to have this discussion in private (it did not start there). Anyway, the main point should be clear...
Cliffhangers seem to be the latest device in discographical research - maybe a method of attracting interest and selling copies when the suspense is resolved? ...
Maybe I should insist that I do not intend to stop or ban the thread in itself, which is an interesting one. Otherwise, I would have erased the whole of it by...
I return to the original rather provocative header. I agree Patrice that aggression and insult have no place in the discussion of music but I think the...
I very much agree with Dave that it is an important issue. Again I would again like to point out the great detail with which Redman described the occasion -...
Of course, the arrangements couldn't be more different! But the distinctive sound of Nat Natoli's "nanny-goat" vibrato leading the trumpet section on "Italian"...

May I introduce myself. My name is Jim Gallert. Lars Bjorn and I wrote "Before Motown: A History of Jazz in Detroit, 1920-1960." This discussion is exactly...
Hello Howard The history of early jazz big band is indeed not a black & white issue. Sudhalter makes, although does not prove, a case for Redman, the...
