[78-L] Blue Rhythm Records: Help Anyone!

[Han Enderman]

Blue Rhythm 1001 was on ebay in Aug 2005, advertised with following text:

"VICTOR FELDMAN 5-TET RECORDED 1953 BOMBAY = A live recording of "BRITISH MODERN JAZZ"
Quintet led by vibraphonist Victor Feldman with Dave Usden trumpet, Damian Robinson piano, 
Pete Blannin bass and Freddie Manton drums. Recorded August 4, 1953 at the Taj Mahal Hotel, Bombay, India.
"What Is This Thing Called Love" Parts 1 & 2 on a 10 inch 78 rpm thick shellac record on the "Blue Rhythm" label
BR 1001 JDG-101, 102. These musicians were working in hotels in New Delhi and Calcutta and Bombay's 
Blue Rhythm society invited them and flew them in on their day off. They rehearsed by exchanging letters! 
Their concert was a roaring success. Only a few of these records exist. The disc is in mint condition, 
well preserved for over 50 years."

With the disc was a 15 Aug 1953  review of the concert from "Eve's Weekly", with 2 photos.
Not clear if this is the title of a weekly magazine or a weekly column in a newspaper.
I will send the (mediocre) image of this review to Geoffrey, who is free to decifer & quote it if he wants to.

It seems doubtful that there was another issue on the label.

>>> Blue Rhythm records have nothing to do with MBRB. It is an Indian 
label, which is unfamiliar to me. I have a copy of Blue Rhythm [lower 
case] BR 1001 with parts 1 and 2 of "What is This Thing Called Love" by 
a group consisting of Dave Usden, trumpet; Vic Feldman, vibraphone; 
Damian Robinson, piano; Pete Blannin, bass; and Freddie Manton, drums. 
No leader is indicated. According to the label, the performance was 
recorded August 4th 1953 at "British Modern Jazz" concert, Taj Mahal 
Hotel, Bombay [now Mumbai, India]. This is the same Taj Mahal that was 
severely damaged by terorist bombs November 26, 2008. Matrix number on 
the label for Part 1 is JDG-101;  matrix number on the label for Part 2 
is JDG-102. The same matrix numbers are stamped in the runoffs but 
without hyphens. Top half of the label is blue; bottom half, white. 
Typography and a 2-5/8-inch-high ink illustration of a guitarist in 
profile are black. The illustration of the guitarist suggests a folk 
recording rather than jazz.  Has anyone seen this recording, this 
label? Were any other recordings ever issued on Blue Rhythm? Thanks in 
advance for any help.
