[Dixielandjazz] Buck Clayton

[Ken Mathieson]

Hi All again,

One of Buck's great albums from 1959 seems never to have been re-issued either on Vynil or CD: Songs for Swingers was full of great Clayton charts played by an all-star cast of Buck and Emmett Berry (tpts), Dicky Wells at his most whimsical (tbn), Earle Warren and Buddy Tate (saxes and clts), Al Williams (pno), Gene Ramey (bs) and Herbie Lovelle swinging fiercely on drums. It came out in Europe on the Philips label, but swiftly disappeared again and I've never seen a re-issue in years of hunting. Does anyone know if it was ever re-issued? Sounds like one for Prof Bill in Oz.

Cheers,

Ken Mathieson
