BOOTLEG AGAIN

KENNY CLARKE - FRANCY BOLAND BIG BAND
"STUTTGART, 1968"

Francy Boland
IMHO they were simply the best big band around in those years. And believe me there was strong competition, the Duke was still around and so were Basie and Hamp.  But when it came to hardbop it was hard to find a finer contender than the KCFBBB.

Thanks again to onxidlib for these recordings. As far as I know they aren't or ever were commercially available.

      Great share! Thank you! First time I see a CBBB with Kenny Wheeler.
      Now I would like to see/hear a recording with Manfred Schoof. There were also Sextet recordings with Schoof.
      Once I saw an excerpt in a documentary about Schoof.
      Dreams...

      Sonny Grey (or Gray?) is the same one as on this recording > http://theboogiemanwillgetya.blogspot.de/2012/12/schrage-musik.html

      But apart from that I only know that he played a lot in Paris. There was a CD called "Jazz et Cinema Vol.3" were he played on five tracks with the Daniel Humair Soultet.
      An of course he played several times with the CBBB.

      onxidlib is a walking encyclopedia of jazz.
      By the way, a book remains to be written on the contribution of West Indian musicians to jazz, from the early days on.
      There are a few example on this blog: Shake Keane, Condouant, Sardaby, ...

      "Skippin'" is with Mal Waldron - would be nice to hear it.
      There's another LP called "Sonny Grey en directo" (Sayton, 1968 - Spain) with Roger Guerin, Michel Sardaby, Rolf Römer and Peter Giger a.o.
