shorty-rogers-at-the-rendevous-1951-1953-frontsometimes the thought really is as good as the deed.  here are two short performances by shorty rogers (among others!), live at the rendezvous ballroom in sunny balboa beach, california, from the early 1950s.  given the age of the recordings, these are phenomenal recordings.  i’ve always heard about ‘west coast jazz’, ‘west coast sound’, but never really thought about it much.  now, the next stop will be shelly manne, no doubt.  anyway… enjoy!

in the posting on dimeadozen, the seeder watty62 said that

according to jack goodwin’s discography of warne marsh, http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/warnemarsh.info/discography_2.htm there is a missing sixth track (see details below).
06 medley:
1-lady be good feat. levy
2-easy living feat. marsh
3- you go to my head feat. pepper (inc.) total – 7:00” ,

and another dime member said they had that… but i didn’t see them seed it ever.  oh well.

here’s one of the last concerts by the great art pepper, recorded just a week after “art pepper: unreleased art, vol. 1”.  possibly from an fm broadcast — the quality is fantastic.  go out now, and buy some art pepper cd’s (i’m planning on getting “the route”, art pepper & chet baker, plus whatever else catches my eye).
