Clarence Williams; bijna vergeten?

NEDERLANDS-VLAAMS ( To the English section with an announcement of a concert by the JEFF HAMILTON TRIO and a review of the DOCTOR JAZZ FAIR in Wageningen last weekend.)
CLARENCE WILLIAMS, BIJNA VERGETEN?


Zowel Louis Armstrong als Sidney Bechet stelen de show in dit nummer en daarom ben ik ook nog op zoek gegaan naar zo'n ander schitterend nummer met Clarence Williams, waaruit blijkt wat voor schitterende muziek hij in de jaren twintig maakte.

DOCTOR JAZZ FAIR Fall 2008
Last weekend, Saturday the 11th of October 2008, the 88th Doctor Jazz Dag was scedulded in Wageningen, a city in the centre of the Netherlands. This meeting is known as the Doctor Jazz Reunion and is organized two times a year. Hunderds of jazz record collectors, from The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, visited the fair scedulded in the morning and in the afternoon jazz bands played their traditional jazz. I wrote about that in a previous blog: Doctor Jazz Dag. It is always a surprise what you'll find on a record fair. CD's, second-handed for one or two euros or new copies of recent releases, are for the months to come ..... I found some great books like one about the history of music and its musicians in Breda, a small city in the south of The Netherlands. Some of you may know that this place was the capital of traditional jazz, the hottest place in the south, in the Netherlands from the 1970s onwards for several decades. The Oude Stijl Jazz Festivals ( = Traditional Jazz Festivals) of Breda were famous all around the world. The book is titled: Bredase muziekschets van de 20e eeuw (Deel 1 - Amusementsmuziek - Jazzmuziek - Jazzorganisaties) by Jack van Elewout. A second book I could obtain is the great informative bio-discography "King Oliver" revised by Laurie Wright: a thorough study like "Fats in Facts", a great source of information about the great cornet player and band leader Joe King Oliver.
I also found some great albums, like the LPs shown above: A SteepleChase: Brew Moore and two Riverside's with Art Blakey's Caravan and Cannonball Adderley . I also bought some LPs I had thirty years ago, some nostalgic finds, like the Rotterdam Bill Brookers' Jug Band and the Almelo and Nice Site as played by Johan Bijkerk, the stride piano player of the Hot Dogs.
I shouldn't forget to mention a great album by Ack Van Rooijen and one by Tal Farlow and a 2LP album titled Jazz Från det Svenska 70-talet, which contains a compilation of 1970s Swedish jazz. But I'm really happy with the 2LP-album, titled Don Ellis at Fillmore; an album which contains great music, but also has some emotional value for me. You can learn more about it in a previous contribution labeled as: Don Ellis at Fillmore.
Well, the Wageningen fair is now history ..... we'll have to do with it until the 4th of april 2009. I'm sure I found enough stuff to fill blogs for the long winter period to come !

Next Thursday, the 16th of October 2008, the great percussionist Jeff Hamilton will perform, at an exclusive concert for the Netherlands and Belgium, at the Porgy en Bess Jazz Club in Terneuzen in the south of the country, close to the Belgian border. His trio features himself on drums, Tamir Hendelman at the piano and Christoph Luty on bass. Jeff Hamilton needs no further introduction, I guess. He played in the famous Monty Alexander Trio ( Monty Alexander - John Clayton - Jeff Hamilton) that is remembered for its legendary concert at the 1976 Montreux Jazz Festival and, thirthy years ago, November 2006, was re-made at a great concert at the Porgy en Bess club.
Porgy en Bess - Terneuzen: 16 oktober 2008: 8.30 pm.
