[78-L] Good-Time Charlie

[Dan Van Landingham]

I had the "Huckle Buck" on a Dorsey LP from the '70s.It was a great record.I once saw it in a Saint Vin-
cent DePaul store in Eugene,Oregon and passed it up.I wished now I hadn't.The only Shavers-Dorsey
stuff I have now is confined to a couple of LaserLight CDs from the early '90s on their "Jazz Collectors"
series.One Shavers performance that comes to mind is his "The Cuttin' Out Blues" which sounded like a
reworking of the trumpet solo from Coleman Hawkins' "Disorder at the Border" from 1944.I believe Ec-
kstine recorded the same trumpet theme as "Cool Breeze" giving composer credits to Tadd Dameron.It
was one of his National recordings as I recall.Shavers was on alot of Gleason's recordings for Capitol.
What he didn't do,Bobby Hackett and Pee Wee Erwin did.

I agree...but they do show off his technical skill.   I'm very fond of 
Shavers on the Dorsey record of The Huckle-Buck,  about the closest TD ever 
got to  R&B!
