The doo wop NJ group has, actually, the spelling The Velvetones, along w/ a few others groups. The Saucers (Dallas?) also know as The Velvetones.

The album came from recordings made on 13 JAN 1959 and ones over the next two days. For the New York gig, Evans even had to hitch a ride over from his home in New Jersey: he had no car nor knew much about getting around in New York.

During the Vanguard’s second soiree of 25 JUN 1961, Evans played...

Originally on a DAWN 1104 vinyl LP. The session (sessions?) was in MAR, but could have been in Summer ‘56, according to Cohen and Fitzgerald’s discography. Knights At The Castle, from the same session, or one of the group’s sessions, also has a Gigi Gryce solo.

Fine post, thank you. :I:

(Oops, make that ‘Mal’ - Finkänslig)

Gigi Gryce solos here, and he solos on another tune from this session, The Emperor. But The Emperor is not posted on YT, is it? Of the seven Tentet numbers - recorded over three sessions - Gryce solos only on these two. :I:

MOMA stuff was out originally on the vinyl LP Teddy Charles: Jazz In The Garden (Warwick Records). But not all the stuff: When Sounds of the Inner City (TCB Records) came out, sort of a reissue of Garden, Stardust replaced one of the Warwick LP tunes (w/o either Booker).
