[78-L] Roy Eldridge 100

[Dan Van Landingham]

The recordings I have of Roy Eldridge are,unfortunately,confined to a couple of 
CDs of Gene Krupa's
band.I once owned a Decca 78 of "Twilight Time" which was a late '40s issue.I 
would like to find more
of his Decca output.The only other albums I have of him are with Fletcher 
Henderson(on French RCA)
and a Columbia LP which also featured Wingy Manone and one other trumpeter.The 
one cut on the 

latter album was a late '30s version of "After You've Gone" which foreshadowed 
the version he cut with
Krupa in the early '40s which I heard back in 1969 on a Columbia specialty 
album.The reverse of "Twi-
light Time" was "Fish Market" which appeared on a Time-Life LP from around 30 
years ago.That 78
was the only recording I had of his band.On the CD Al Simmons sent of those 
Minton's broadcasts had
trumpeter Joe Guy singing and playing "Rare Back" which was "Drum Boogie".Guy 
was somewhat a 

better singer than a trumpeter."Let Me Off Uptown" with Anita O'Day was a 
classic.

One of my fave Eldridge records which sort of slips through the cracks for a 
lot of collectors is his Vocalion from 1937 of Where The Lazy River Goes 
By...powerful,  startling and sort of low-key,  all at the same time.

And on the Henderson Victor of Moonrise on the Lowlands...when he comes in 
for his solo on that amazing high note...that's a fine example of flash 
which is still really musical!
