    Buck Clayton in Paris 1949

    The great Basie trumpeter Buck Clayton took a band to Europe in the fall of 1949 for about nine months  - those recordings are elsewhere on this station!  These are appearances by Clayton with two other groups led by pianists - Willie "The Lion" Smith and his Quartet (with Claude Luter and Wallace Bishop) and Earl Hines (with Barney Bigard, Arvell Shaw and Bishop).  Four tracks by Hines with just bass and drums recorded on the same date are also included . . .

    Show - Tony Kinsey Trio with Joe Harriott and Quintet

    British drummer Tony Kinsey had a long career as a player, composer and arranger.  His mid-1950's groups played pretty uncompromising jazz but were commercially successful - a rarity!  This version of his group's records on Esquire and Decca features Jamaican alto sax player Joe Harriott, pianist/vibist Bill Le Sage (who composed half the tunes) and a variety of bass players.  Tenor player Don Rendell is heard in the live session and two tracks with the group backing singer Lita Roza.
