He told me that they once tried to track down the master tapes, but were unsuccessful. He may still have a cassette recording of the concert, made from the LP, but wasn't sure.

I'm playing the Holman chart with our university Jazz Band and would like to hear what Carl himself did with some of these changes, especially a few strange things at the end. Carl was certainly a master balladeer as his '85 recording shows. I enjoyed listening to him over and over during my prep hour today. ^Thanks for all the response.

I try to avoid such things. There are already enough ill feelings going around. I guess Iām a born-again Taoist. I do what I can to keep my thoughts out of the gutter. Sometimes I even succeed at it.

It reads as follows: One Night Stand: Live at the Hollywood Palladium During January 1951, Stan Kenton and his band played to 16,000 fans during one week at the Hollywood Palladium. In late February and most of March that year, the band was heard on live broadcasts from the 'dining, dancing and entertainment. Anyone familiar with this, either as the live original performance or as an old LP? I'm curious as to what the book was like at that time (what charts might be on this album) and who was in the bone section.

GREAT. Hard music, but man oh man what fun. I should have done that Polka Dots ballad. I love that thing, and Carl Fontana is a trombone hero of mine (obviously).

Anyway - I have a 1961 Conn 6H/5G valve bone for sale. It's in great condition, very minor finish wear, no major dents dings or what not. Valves are very tight and fast. Not sure what price to put on it, so make offers, and I'm up for suggestions of price for when it hits ebay (if nobody here wants it). --------------------------------- Yahoo!
