I have a an LP of Shelly Manne & His Friends Andre Previn & Red Mitchell – Bells Are Ringing on Contemporary Records – LAC 12212 with a green VOGUE label. What is this? is it related? Thanks for the research.

that must have been taken from L.D. 169 in the Jazztime Paris series, with the photo montage cover by Charles Delaunay.

Anybody Interested…?
I have on cassette a very scratchy, early 10in. Vogue recording of Lee Konitz recorded in France when he was touring with the Stan Kenton Orch. Can’t find any record of it. It features Pierre Michelot, Martial Solail(?) and Jean Louis Viale. It is my intention to transcribe this tape via Audacity onto CD. Anybody interested in acquiring a copy?

@ Maarten on 30 cm Vogue LD series: yes, they have all the same lay-out. I checked 10 at random, they have all Jean-Pierre Leloir for photo credits. However I came across one LD 607-30 (Mémorial Clifford Brown), which has no photo credits, but still, the same lay-out and a gorgeous picture of Brown anno 1953.
I can guarantee you that the sixties were already very hot in Amsterdam: the Paradiso! Mainstays were Dexter Gordon, Johnny Griffin and of course Don Byas, married to a Dutch lady. And what about J.R. Monterose’s stint in the Netherlands? He made a superb record with Rein de Graaff, liners by my late friend Maître Niels Lettinga, whose collection (10.000 plus) is sold by Concerto. They put them up by bits. I read this in “de Telegraaf”, which had a feature on Niels just after he left us.

rudolf: That should be a great series to have ‘complete’… if they have aal the same lay-out and even photographer… not many labels are that consequent (blue note i know off)
Financial reasons make sure i only collect blue note..but the LD series are tempting. I don’t see them often in Amsterdam. The chet baker and bud powel i bought for 25 euro’s…I am gonna check that photographer right away!

Do you have many albums of the LD series, Rudolph?

on history: I have the feeling that in the seventies and eighties Holland (amsterdam) was pretty hot for jazz-musicians,especially the older garde….was it mayby for the perfect drug-possibilities in Amsterdam??

@ Lander: for Modern Jazz Paris and Scandinaia were indeed THE places in Europe, starting with the 1949 Paris Jazz Festival. London played a minor role because of the policies of the British Union of Musicians, who did not allow foreigners to perform in concert in the U.K. Despite this handicap some wonderful British musicians have been able to develop their art and skills, or maybe even just because of this Union ban.

Jan: that is correct, it was first released in France under Vogue LD 209.
My copy is also the U.K. version, bought in Fontenay (Paris suburb) from Bert Bradfield, who moved over his stocks from Britain to live in France with his French wife Janine.
Al just mentions the 10″ Frank Foster on Blue Note.
The Paris session was on April 4, 1954, the New York session one month later, on May 5, 1954.
