Complete Quintet Studio Recordings (2 Cd Set)
Curtis Counce
Featuring: Curtis Sheldon (b), Jack Sheldon (tp), Carl Perkins (p), Frank Butler (d)
REFERENCE: 69258_2
BAR CODE: -
Celebrated American jazz bassist Curtis Counce was born in Kansas City on 23, 1926 and died prematurely of a heart attack on July 31, 1963. He recorded prolifically as a sideman accompanying figures like Clifford Brown, and before creating his famous quintet in 1956, featuring Harold Land, Jack Sheldon, Frank Butler and another ill-fated musician, pianist Carl Perkins. All of the master take recordings by the original Curtis Counce Quintet are included on this release.
As a splendid bonus to the original studio master takes, they have added the complete soundtrack from a rare 1956 TV Show, the only known TV studio recording by this quintet. Although both "Love Walked In" and "A Fifth for Frank" were also recorded by the quintet in the same period, the longer tune, "Sophisticated Lady", is a welcome addition as it was never commercially recorded by this group.
Includes 16-page booklet with photos by William Claxton.
