  I have received a message from YouTube stating that this video may contain content owned or licensed by UMG. That may or may not be the case. Since Morton's recording was made more than 70 years ago, my understanding is that under UK law the copyright has now expired. Also Morton died on 10 Jul...

EdwardHKDC commented:

The clip here was from just before the interval, one of Gwilym's compositions (I think) up to c11mins and then a solo introduction (c11-13mins) to I Hear A Rhapsody (shades of Bill Evans!). A pity it cuts off before the end and the rapturous applause which it received. Yuri Goloubev on bass and ...

  @phillfoote Hi Phill, thanks for your comment. Actually this came from a C90 cassette tape made from an LP, so no wonder it's crackly. In the early 1990s I did a tape swop with fellow Sun Ra enthusiast Mark Webber - not the racing driver, but he IS the former guitarist in Pulp! So you're heari...

Regarding the vocals - they do indeed sound unattractive to many modern ears, but one has to remember that these are the days before electric amplification, so singers had to adopt an emphatic projective style, particularly since their performances would be in noisy music halls etc. But Armstrong...

EdwardHKDC commented:

The piece is Sortie in A by Theodore Dubois (1837-1924). The Kelvingrove instrument is a very fine romantic concert organ, built by TC Lewis & Co for the 1901 Glasgow International Exhibition. In 1941 the organ was damaged in an air raid, but subsequently repaired. In 1988 it had a full restor...

EdwardHKDC commented:

This is great! Do we know what technology was used to record it from the radio? - direct to disc, or a wire recorder or early tape recorder? The latter were just coming in in the mid 1930s. I hear no clicks, which suggests to me that it wasn't to disc.

The tune is Fly with the Wind. There is a 16 minute version (live at Espace Carpeaux) also on YouTube, so no wonder he kept going here! The band is Gary Bartz sax, Gerald Cannon bass, and the drummer might be Eric Kamau who appears in the 16 minute version, or Francisco Mela who is mentioned in...

Great playing from Bix, good arrangement, excellent remastered sound quality. But Mr Atticus70, the repeated zooming in and out from the label is tedious and tiring on the eyes! I think you should have just done a single zoom and held it there.
