I'd totally forgotten...Thanks, Mr Magnificent.<br /><br />I'd totally forgotten about the part played by Wild Bill Moore at the Hollywood Jazz Concert at the Elks Auditorium on July 6th, 1947.<br /><br />Then after reading your comment I remembered that there was a track on the Savoy Jazz CD "Black California Volume 2 - Anthology" which was an extended live cut of Wild Bill with Gene Montgomery of "What Is This Thing Called Love." This was indeed from the same Elks Auditorium concert as "The Hunt."<br /><br />A big problem with this CD is that the notes are shrunk down from the original LP issue and are therefore indecipherable without a magnifying glass. After much squinting through a small glass I learned that the CD also had another track by the Wardell Gray All Stars "Blow Blow Blow" from the same concert. As I said, the notes are pretty unreadable but I can make out a reference to other tracks from this concert being on other Savoy LPs including "Black California Volume 1" and "Long Tall Dexter."<br /><br />The Blue Moon CD "Wild Bill Moore, The Complete Recordings Volume One" has 4 Wild Bill tracks from the Elks Auditorium concert - "Wild Bill Part 1", "Wild Bill Part 2", "Unfinished Bopera" and "What Is this Thing Called Love."<br /><br />The Proper 4CD set "Dexter Gordon - Settin' The Pace" has the four Elks Auditorium tracks featured in "The Hunt" plus another track from the same concert, "After Hours Bop."<br /><br />Excerpts from many of the Elks Auditorium concert tracks were released on 78 rpm singles on the Bop label.<br /><br />Wild Bill recorded "We're Gonna Rock" for Savoy in Detroit on December 18th 1947. Also on the track were Paul Williams on baritone sax and T.J. Fowler on piano.<br /><br />Many thanks for pointing me towards this stuff, Mr Magnifico! Looks like the Elks Auditorium Hollywood Jazz Concert bears much more investigation, perhaps with the aim of reconstructing the whole gig from the recordings made by Ralph Bass.<br /><br />BWboogiewoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565453839281572426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-4452776254088845402016-04-14T19:13:56.664+01:002016-04-14T19:13:56.664+01:00Thanks for this Woody.
