0305 Don Carlos [Crazy Latin] FLAC 12(33.35)

Contributed by azule serape, who writes:-
A breezy latin flavoured 1960 record from pianist 'Don Carlos' a supposedly famous figure on the British Latin American scene and with arrangements by Kenny Graham, no less. He also provided five of the tunes heard.
Joe Harriott pops up here and there and there is support from Bobby Pratt, Bert Courtley and Phil Seamen. Otherwise the assembled musicians are anonymous.
A scarce record to find, never on cd, and worth a listen for Joe Harriott alone.

0304 Max Geldray [Goon With The Wind] FLAC 6(12.01)

Contributed by bellawoods, who writes:-
Max recorded prolifically for BBC Radio as part of the long running Goon Show, where he provided some of the musical interludes, but made few records, although some of them go back to 1937.
This ep is from 1959 and Max provides some swinging music backed by the Wally Stott Orchestra, which also appeared regularly on the Goon Shown. Alan Clare is said to be the pianist.
FLAC from ep with cover scans.

Note: Sound quality here is presumably dictated by the original source of the material, from the broadcasts, and so is not as good as one would expect in a FLAC recording. BJ

0301 Carlo Krahmer [Jazz At The Town Hall] FLAC 14(54.09)

Contributed by bluebird, who says:-
Cut direct to 78rpm acetates from the concert in 1947 the sound here is far from perfect and the 'stereo enhancement' doesn't help. Things are improved on side 2 - perhaps the musicians were suitably 'refreshed'after the interval.
Dill Jones had just turned professional and provides some good solos. Some of the playing is a bit ragged in places but I'm sure it sounded better on the night.

0300 Marie Bryant [In London 1952] FLAC 7(20.16)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
Marie Bryant, USA born, was probably best known as a dancer in black revues rather than a singer but she can be seen and heard in the 1944 film clip of 'Jammin' The Blues' which features Lester Young amongst others.
She was in London in 1952, where she was appearing in the musical revue 'High Spirits' at the London Hippodrome, when these recordings were made.
The first three tracks were made for the small Lyragon label which specialised in recording calypsos and highlife music which was being introduced by the newly arrived black West Indian and African immigrants to the UK. They are taken from 78 rpm records and there is inevitably some background noise and crackle. Not really jazz, but some of the backing musicians had a later career in jazz.
The other four tracks were recorded with a regular jazz group and Marie sings these with a real jazz feel. There's some lovely trumpet from Humphrey Lyttelton too.
And just to show what she looked like during her dancing days, take a look at the 'cover' picture, unless Mr. BritJazz censors it.  It is shown purely in the interest of jazz history of course.
FLAC  from YouTube (Lyragon sides - thanks to original uploader) and cd re-issue with track details, label pictures and that  'cover' picture. Remember, it's for research purposes only. BritJazz doesn't do titivation.
