I realized that I had a couple of CDs of JATP. One of them is from another
Carnegie Hall concert on November 2, 1949. This one features 3 more cuts
with Tommy Turk:
Leap Here
Indiana (Back Home Again In)
Lover Come Back To Me
The personnel is somewhat different with Sonny Criss joining Charlie Parker
on alto, Fats Navarro on trumpet, and Shelly Manne on drums. Roy Eldridge,
Lester Young and Buddy Rich are out. Other than these changes, the personnel
on the above 3 cuts are the same as the September concert. Norman Granz does
all the introductions.
Cuts 5-8 feature Coleman Hawkins on tenor with Fats Navarro and the rhythm
section.

I was recently going through my many CD's and ran across one with the little
known trombonist Tommy Turk on a Norman Granz, Jazz at the Philharmonic
recording. Also at this event was Charlie Parker as I remember but have lost
the jeweled box it came in, that lists all the players.
This was performed in 1949 long before I heard jazzers like Frank Rosolino
and J.J. Johnson. Anyone on this list familiar with Tommy Turk ?
Happy New Year all !
