[Dixielandjazz] re Question regarding Isle Of Capri

[Bert]

Thanks Jack,

That was exactly the kind of info I was looking for.
Just checked the Russ Morgan record, indeed that hardly qualifies as jazz, that's danceband playing quite similar to those British bands, no single note improvised, and a very polite groove.
With that I don't want to imply that danceband playing is less interesting, but I'm really trying to find out how Colyer got it and as he was a huge fan of N.O. type of playing, he won't have it from Morgan or the British dancebands, I guess.
I will ask Chris as well if he has any memories about the Colyer recording date, when I see him again.
There is a youtube thing of the Rollini record as well on the internet, with the trio. Since I'm personally a huge fan of Rollini, always a delight for me, but probably not what interested Ken.

So either Manone or Fazola look like the most likely candidates.

Many thanks again for your help, highly appreciated.

Bert

Colyer probably got the idea from Wingy's recording - it was well known
in the jazz world because of Mannone's Lyrics.

It was also recorded by:

Russ Morgan    19/8/ 35 (maybe not your idea of jazz)

Adrian Rollini   7/5/40

Irving Fazola     18/8/45

and obviously in other bands' repertoires as there a few issues from
movie shorts and radio transcriptions.

Best wishes

Jack Mitchell
