Does anyone else have this album and enjoy it. I don't think I have ever seen it posted or mentioned but I could of course be wrong. When this came out in 78? I was really curious. I knew Woody Herman only by name and thought it interesting that this Big Band guy would play the music of Chick Corea and Steely Dan. Woody Herman Band – Chick, Donald, Walter & Woodrow Label: Century Records – CJCD 830 Format: CD, Album, Stereo Country: UK Released: 1991 Genre: Jazz Style: Big Band
I've been on a big Clara Bow binge -- watching her movies and reading David Stenn's Bow biography. Of course her performances are thrilling and enchanting, although her life was so Dickensian level horrible and painful that now when I watch them I can't help but see the unloved, abused little girl desperate for love in her performances....anyway, I was watching the 1925 college picture The Plastic Age last night on a dicey online stream which had no accompanying music, so I decided to stream Ellington's Brunswick and Vocalion sides behind the movie (which worked out great), and was really struck by the reed playing on the first take of "The Creeper," in particular the long alto solo (Otto Hardwick maybe?), such good intonation and so shapely and thoughtful, and the growling clarinet entry (Prince Robinson maybe?). Great stuff. Oh, and here's Clara making her entry as Cynthia Day in The Plastic Age:
I knew the man who was her psychiatrist in her last years. The stress of serving Clara made him retire to become a chef and innkeeper.
Let me know what you think. I don’t necessarily think of it as a great album but I do like it and think it interesting
Have this edition (for grown ups only! ) too. Here is the other version OJC reissue # 170 from 1990 Same music and artists but different title
Clara Bow had an extremely difficult life. We enjoy the works of so many artists, as the artists themselves went through great suffering.
I enjoyed finding an original issue of this today ...Atlantic From the same photo session Julius on stage
This one is for @Lonson I don't have this 10 inch LP, but I believe I have the recordings. When I was a kid (in public school days), I felt that I had to be an art student, as my father and grandfather were artists. But many of my efforts were designs for album covers. Some of them were in this style
Hahaha its more an relaxed album, except by the baritone solos. I was jazz hungry so i didnt hold my self and gave it a bite!
No, it's not that thick anymore except down by the waterfront docks, where you can walk along with a parrot that talks....
I've seen this one in the flesh, a friend has it in Texas. Some darned good music too! Henry Red was something. . . I like his vocals.

On the main system, three great sounding Blue Note cds released in Japan the last few months: "Kenny Burrell and John Jenkins"--a bright recording that sounds much better in this incarnation than the previous US version. Big John Patton "Accent on the Blues" . . . a young James "Blood" Ulmer, before the "Blood" and playing some awesome guitar. Jimmy Smith "Prayer Meeting" . . . Stanley Turrentine is so good on this, and the group really is arranged to showcase the dynamics that they can provide. And on the headphone system (my CSP2+ with Anniversary mods was returned yesterday from a checkup) Sal Salvador, the Connoisseur Blue Note cd US that presents his 10" sessions:
