i was watching the 1955 version of guys & dolls, with frank sinatra and marlon brando a week or two ago, and ‘if i were a bell’ has popped up a number of times since, including this fun performance from cleo laine.  and it is fun! which is more than i can say for brando’s singing in the movie (not that he ever sang ‘ding dong ding dong ding’… that would have been a real treat), though he was a good choice in other respects.   they must have been thinking of this movie when they made paint your wagon.

coryell-catherine-grappelli-nhop-1980-05-03-paris-front-cover-300x300here’s a show featuring nhop – niels henning orsted pedersen.  a danish friend of mine & i were talking about nhop, so i ended up listening to most of the shows that i have with nhop (before making copies for her), and plan to share a few of those here.  unless i get distracted, in which case there’ll be something else.

speaking of nhop…. over on ubu roi, you should still be able to download hank mobley in copenhagen, march 1968, featuring nhop along with albert ‘tootie’ heath & kenny drew.  and the last posting at bogard’s jazz spot is available: martial solal & nhop, at the philharmonie in berlin, november 1976 (it’s mp3 though).

seeder’s comments:
i recorded this with my akai reel to reel machine in 1980.
this deck lost condition some years ago and i recently did my best to give him
a better health.
so, at the moment, i’m able to rip some old interesting recordings.
this one never saw the light of day until now and i don’t see any other version
of this show on the tracker.
