Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd, Jazz Samba, 1962 on Verve

Early work in the bossa nova trend in the US, recorded at Pierce Hall, All Souls Unitarian Church in DC and released two years before Getz/Gilberto. Includes “Desafinado” (which was also on Getz/Gilberto) and “Samba de Uma Nota” composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim.

My copy—via a private sale—is the 2023 Acoustic Sounds Series reissue on Verve by UMG / UMe, which is a fantastic pressing.

Stan Getz & Bill Evans, Previously Unreleased Recordings, 1974 on Verve

Sometimes just referred to as Stan Getz & Bill Evans, this was recorded in 1964 but not released until 1974. Ron Carter (A side) and Richard Davis (B side) on bass, with Elvin Jones on drums. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Englewood Cliffs NJ and produced by Creed Taylor.

There’s a whole series of “Previously Unreleased Recordings” advertised on the rear jacket. Beautiful sounding LP well packaged.

My copy—via Worcester Record Riot—is of the 2024 UMG/UMe reissue, overseen by Chad Kassem from Acoustic Sounds.

Remembering Esther Phillips on the day she would have been 89-years old.

I've written a lot about Esther, I have a soft spot for her singing and am fascinated by her life story.

I have at least one more piece to write based on some history from #johnnyotis - It explains a great deal about why Esther made some of the choices she did.

For today though, I want to remember a ballsy woman who once walked into Creed Taylors office with a baseball bat under her fur coat to demand her royalty check.

Remembering #chrisconnor on her born day, this day in 1927. #creedtaylor recordings with Chris in August 1954 essentially saved #guswildi 's fledgling #bethlemrecords - Their recordings sound so "grown-up" both Creed and Chris were in their mid-20's.

It's really quite interesting what an oversize role agents and managers played and continue to play in the music business. You can't really talk about #CreedTaylor without talking about #ClarenceAvant - you can't talk about Clarence without talking about #JoeGlaser and Joe without talking about the mafia and #louisarmstrong
