Fredag d. 28 november modtog vi en email fra Music Mecca, der meddelte at fabrikken, der angiveligt har haft opgaven siden begyndelsen af oktober, ikke kunne oplyse en leveringsdato for den nye Kid Bastien CD. Den officielle forklaring er juletravlhed. Dette er naturligvis særdeles utilfredsstillende, så Music Mecca og New Orleans Delight er blevet enige om at stoppe produktionen.
Vi vil nu overveje den nye situation og prøve at finde en anden måde at få den udgivet på. Det giver selvsagt en yderligere forsinkelse, men det betyder vel mindre for et så historisk dokument som vi betragter dette som at være.
Denne site vil blive opdateret så snart vi har nyt.
Friday the 28th of November we received an email from Music Mecca, informing us that the CD-factory, in charge of the new Kid Bastien CD production since early October, was unable to give an exact delivery date. The official explanation is Christmas overload. This, of course, is highly unsatisfactory, so Music Mecca and New Orleans Delight have decided to stop the production.
We are now considering this new situation and will try to find another way to get it published. This will obviously mean another delay, but that shouldn't matter too much for such a historical document, as we consider this to be.
This site will be updated as soon as we have news.

Så har jeg fået fingre i to nyudgivelser med George Lewis jeg ikke har i min samling. Der er ellers et par stykker. Det drejer sig først om Upbeat URCD221 ”George Lewis In Hi-Fi”. De første 10 numre er studieindspilninger fra San Francisco 7. Juni 1956. Besætningen er George Lewis (cl), Thomas Jefferson (tp), Bob Thomas (tb), Alton Purnell (p voc), Alcide ”Slow Drag” Pavageu(b) og Joe Watkins (dr). Melodier: Original Dixieland One Step, Four Or Five Times, Struttin’ With Some Barbecue, Salty Dog, That’s A Plenty, Move The Body Over, Don’t Give Up The Ship, Didn’t He Ramble, She’s Crying For Me og Tishomingo Blues. De sidste 6 numre er optaget i Oakland 1956 og 57. Det er stadig George Lewis på clarinet. P. T. Stanton på cornet, Dick Oxton (bj) Lelias Sharpton (b) og Barbara Dane vocal. Melodier: Should I?, Mecca Flat Blues, Till We Meet Again, The Glory Of Love, Good Morning Blues og Smiles. Den anden CD er Upbeat URCD224 ”George Lewis On Stage & At Newport”. De første 12 numre er igen studieoptagelser fra San Francisco Juli 1956. Besætningen er Thomas Jefferson (tp og voc), George Lewis (cl), Bob Thomas (tb), Alton Purnell (p og voc), Alcide ”Slow Drag” Pavageau (b) og Joe Watkins (dr og voc). Melodier: South Rampart Street Parade, Sugar Blues, Shine, Yes Sir, That’s My Baby, Sweet Sue, On A Cocunut Island, Chinatown, My Chinatown, Nobody’s Sweetheart Now, Dinah, Swing A Lullaby, Should I? og Limosine Blues. De sidste 5 numre er optaget på Newport, Rhode Island 4. juli 1957. Besætningen er den samme bortset fra at Jack Willis er med på trompet og Joe Robichaux har overtaget klaveret. De sidste numre er: Intro – Basin Street Blues, Bourbon Street Parade, Tin Roof Blues, Royal Garden Blues og That’s A Plenty. CD’erne købte jeg hos Jazz ’n’ Blues Records. Ingen problemer. Tvært imod.

I just spent a most wonderful 10 days or so in Denmark, playing with the fantastic New Orleans Delight. There really aren't words enough to describe how great the band is and how wonderful it is to play with them. The only bad thing that happened was having to finish off the last gig and say goodbye to everyone and, believe me, that was really, really bad. All the gigs were great and the band swung like crazy. We recorded the last session and, if all goes well a cd should be released in the first half of next year. We'll see - these things are never easy to predict. I'll be posting some photos as soon as I've got myself back into the swing of things here.
For all of the guys in the band - I wish I was still there. I miss you! :-(
I kan se Sarah's Blog her. Tak til Jørgen Vad for det fine billede.
