A GREAT DAY IN HARLEM

This is a great picture, and the story is filmed (a good one). I use the picture to find music with the musicians, some of them are more or less forgotten. But they are so GREAT. Here is a list of the albums I find, Great albums. You should see the film and get inspired and get a good warm feeling.

Count Basie:

You know, this is my new kids, og de er gode alle sammen, og de, som ikke er helt modne endnu, de bliver det!!!!!

Mon ikke ....

Men dette er starten på Bæsis nye band, med tårnhøje ambitioner. Ikke mere dansehal, nu er det koncertsalen der skal erobres. Og det blev den over hele verden, Chairman at the board.

Dette dobbelt CD sæt er fra omkring 1952, så det er ret korte numre, de skulle jo kunne være på en pladeside.
