0285 Stephane Grappelli [Quintet 1947] WMV 6(12.52)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
This is a first for BritJazz as the finest technology is employed to bring BJ followers music and film for the very first time.
Stephane Grappelli, the spelling of the surname was changed at some point to that shown above, spent the war years in the UK and recorded extensively with the local musicians.
This short 13 minute film shows him with his Quintet recorded in London in 1947  - the precise date is not known but the same group recorded on 25 April 1947 so it is most likely from around this period
What is interesting is the make up of the Quintet with George Shearing on piano (he emigrated to the USA shortly after this date), Dave Goldberg on guitar, Coleridge Goode on bass and Ray Ellington on drums backing Stephane. All the tunes are announced and the musicians identified in the film credits.
There is a very boppy feel to some of these tracks and Dave Goldberg, one of the unsung UK guitarists, is particularly so on his solos. All the musicians seem to be enjoying the session judging by their expressions of appreciation when others are soloing and it is good to see George Shearing in action. What a lovely touch he had back then.
As mentioned above, this same group recorded 4 titles for Decca but only two were issued. It is hoped to be able to bring these 2 titles plus mp3 versions of the tunes played in this film together as a separate post later.
The film has been issued as part of a hard to find DVD chronicling Stephane's career but this version was taken from YouTube and spliced together to re-create the original film. 
Thanks to the original YouTube uploader 'cosmickitchen'.

This is the music extracted from the short film with an extra two tracks by the same group which were recorded in London on 25 April 1947. These two tracks were originally issued on a Decca 78 under the title of 'The Quintet Of The Hot Club of France featuring George Shearing' and have only recently been correctly identified.
All the music is in mp3 at 320 format with a 'cover picture' and track/personnel details.

0283 Cleo Laine [Cleo's Choice] FLAC 20(1.02.57)

Contributed by bellawoods, who writes:-
All Cleo's recordings for Nixa between 1956 and 1958, and which originally appeared on a 10" lp, eps and 78s, are collected here for the first time on this OOP cd.
The musicians are drawn from the ranks of the Dankworth bands of the period in various permutations and there are some tasty solos in places. This is Cleo breaking free from the Dankworth band where she appeared as the band singer and just starting out on her solo career.
There are informative 'sleeve notes' on the cd cover which opens out to produce a double sided large format display. The images have not been cropped - this is how they appear on the original insert. Can you spot the 1951 Melody Maker headline where Lennie Bush gets busted for drug possession? I bet it's one he would rather not have seen dragged up after all this time.
