GENE KRUPA, BUCK CLAYTON, PEE WEE RUSSELL 1960 / JACK PLAYS BIX / LOUIS for Rheingold / BRAD GOWANS

A collectors’ potpourri: From “The World Series of Jazz“ in Philadelphia, CBS Radio, 1960, I FOUND A NEW BABY, featuring Gene Krupa, Pee Wee Russell, and Buck Clayton, probably Eddie Wasserman, tenor saxophone; Ronnie Ball, piano; Kenny O’Brien, bass; An undetermined place and time, Jack Teagarden playing along with the 1928 Bix and his Gang recording of MARGIE; Louis (and the All-Stars with Trummy Young, Ed Hall) selling Rheingold beer in October 1956; Brad Gowans elaborates on the beautiful theme of JADA, perhaps his feature with the “Sextet from Hunger“ transcription group. Delicious scraps from the collection of John L. Fell, presented by Michael Steinman for JAZZ LIVES ().
