[78-L] The "F" word in popular music

[Taylor Bowie]

Patricia Norman on the Duchin version:  Bucket,  for sure.

BTW,  the flip side of that disc is a terrific version of Between the Devil 
and the Deep Blue Sea, with some really nice solo work,  esp. the 
piano...which I've been told is by Horace Diaz,  not Duchin himself.  Diaz 
was a great player who worked with bands from John Hyman to Aaronson to 
Charlie Barnett to Duchin and with his own group...well into the late 80s or 
early 90s.  He passed a few years ago at 90-something.

Vince Giordano told me that for his first gig as a leader he hired Diaz to 
play...that was about 35 years ago,  I think.
