Wow! This is amazing! Hammpton, Christian, Carter, Hawkins, Dizzy, and Hinton all together before they all made their fame...priceless!
I love the RCA ... ( 4 months ago by heislebob)
I love the RCA sides that feature Hamp and the best of NYC's best sidemen. They are a real treat. Put Hamp's name in the title and you will get more hits.
Ah, my favorite ... ( 3 months ago by SwingMan1937)
Ah, my favorite side from this session - Dizzy's actually labeled "C. Gillespie" on the original Victor 78.
One-of-a-kind assemblage of top saxes and Charlie Christian thrown in with Cab's rhythm section
lead trumpet - what a session!!!!!
I can't get over ... ( 3 months ago by pekoe67)
I can't get over how much Charlie sounds like Eddie Durham. I mean REALLY sounds like Eddie Durham. I understand E.D. was a mentor to C.C., Thelonious Monk and others, but the resemblance on this track is making me suspicious. Do you think it could be a miscredit and it's really E.D? You seem to know your stuff.
Thanks, pekoe. :D ... ( 3 months ago by SwingMan1937)
Thanks, pekoe. :D Just comes from 22 1/2 years of collecting jazz 78's and playing/studying it for longer.
Nah, that's Charlie Christian, alright. I'm lucky enough to own the complete Kansas City Six session from Sept. 27, 1938 on the original Commodore 78's (1st electric guitar recordings ever) as well as a few dozen of Basie's Decca 78rpm cuts and Eddie Durham definitely plays much softer on acoustic
than Charlie. This cut is also Charlie's first "solo" outside of Benny's sextet as well!

Agreed, bob.
Hamp's Victor cuts from 1937-1940 are my favorite Hamp cuts - not because of the consistently stellar all-star line-ups, but their improvisational nature is so damn tight and loose at the same time. Not to mention they swing like NOTHING else!
What a great short ... ( 2 months ago by dziedzicpruski1)
What a great short piano intro by Clyde Hart. Really advanced harmonically. Too bad he died so early. Wynton Kelly said that he listen a lot to Clyde Hart and Bud Powell when he was learning music. Great stuff!!!
