Esquire ep 207
Recorded August 23 1952
Contributed by delmonico
At the time of this recording in Sweden, 23 August 1952, Arnold Ross was the pianist accompanying Lena Horne on her European Tour. Whilst Ross was born in the USA the backing group was drawn from the ranks of the Jack Parnell Band and comprise some of the top British modernists. Presumably the Parnell band was also on tour at the time.
The ep contained 4 tracks but the cd re-issue, from which these tracks are taken, had an extra track from the date and it is included here.
Thanks to delmonico and the Brits for this one.
ReplyDeleteJust noticed the link for this blog over at the jazzman's place. Wow! great stuff. I wish you every success. Thanks for all the great posts so far.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, delmonico, this is a real gem. I particularly liked Jimmy Deuchar's working of the melody on the last track but there is good stuff throughout
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThe Jack Parnell Band was touring with Lena Horne and Arnold Ross was Lena's personal pianist. Ross took the place of Parnell's pianist, Max Harris, for these recordings.
You've outdone yourself with this one! What a band! Thanks so much
