Hi all, hope everyone's well.
Couple questions:
1. Can anyone recommend any focused web forums for 1940s bebop ("modern") jazz?
The forum doesn't have to be ONLY about that, but, if you know of some forum where they frequently discuss 1940s bebop jazz in some considerable depth & expertise, please let me know.
2. Long shot, but incase there's any hardcore 1940s bebop ("modern") jazz enthusiasts reading this:
Can anyone point me to any live jazz recordings Specifically recorded at Minton's (aka Minton's Playhouse) (in Harlem, NY), and specifically in the timespan years 1944-1950?
I have found live recordings from Minton's from Before 1944, and After 1950, but I'm looking Specifically for this time period only, of 1944-50.
Likewise, there are many live recordings from this time period from other clubs;
But I can't find any from Minton's in this time period;
And it was supposed to be the club's Heydey, where all kinds of important stuff was happening, even moreso than at other clubs on 52nd street. . . Seems someone Had to have made recordings during 1944-50. . .
Thanks, and cheers!,
