Hi Dan I have to say I'm so impressed . As a Jazz Lover . You're right Norman Grand was a Masterdont. All the music You have Whaoo many of the Jazz bands I Don't know ,and have to say I have learned something from you . Take care and Peace.
Thanks for including Nocturne in this episode... Nocturne was a kind of co-op label where the artist could walk with their masters if they wanted to... Conley Graves and Earl "Fatha" Hines were two who decided to do that... when you see reissues of Nocturne, you will not see those two albums included... the Conley Graves stuff ended up on a Liberty release as well... Steve White is worthy of mention also...
I also wanted to mention that Harry and Roy were trying to stay afloat in '55 and had an aggressive album campaign underway if they had not run out of money... I have a Presentation Album called Bobby and the Troop that was a double 10" album that never released as such (I have the only pressing in existence)... they had 16 tracks, 12 of which made it onto Liberty's 12" album, Bobby Troup and his Trio, LRP 3002... Harry had also been developing Julie London since they all hung out around town together... eventually, Si Waronker, head of Liberty, heard Julie and decided he wanted to own her rights outright so he fired Harry as producer of the series and gave the production credit on Julie's album to Bobby... strange part of my father's history that drove him into bankruptcy... then came Mercury/EmArcy and the Jazz Pickers albums...
I was listening to this earlier but forgot to comment but well done as always. The last Bethlehem album I listened to was this great Paula Castle one. It’s still crazy how she did that album and then disappeared. Lots of good vocalists just didn’t get the recognition they deserved at the time.
Another terrific episode. Your label deep dives are the best jazz vinyl videos on UA-cam. Keep going!
thnx my friend
Dan really enjoyed this episode you turn me on to stuff I’d never discover. The info on the labels is tremendous
Love the episode, Dan. Learnt a lot. This early label series is super cool. Thanks a mill.
Its been a fun dive
