Nat Pierce, Dick Collins, Ralph Burns & The Herdsmen - Play Paris flac album

The results of the Paris dates are documented on tracks 1–8 of this reissue on Fantasy; tracks 9–16 were recorded in January ’54 in San Francisco. The core group of pianists Ralph Burns (1–8) and Nat Pierce (9–16), trumpeter Dick Collins, bass trumpeter Cy Touff and reedmen Jerry Coker and Dick Hafer is augmented on tracks 1–8 by tenor Bill Perkins, guitarist Jimmy Gourley, pianist Henri Renaud, bassist Jean–Marie Ingrand and drummers Chuck Flores or Jean–Louis Vitale, and on 9–16 by trumpeter John. Even though these are small–group sessions there’s a definite Herman aura throughout, as if the Herd were thinned but not dispersed. The mood is heightened by the presence of Touff, perhaps the most prominent bass trumpeter in the annals of Jazz (can you name any others?), and Perkins, whose Prez–influenced tenor lends an extra kick to the Paris dates.

Here's the deal on this set from "the Herdsmen": Dick Collins, Red Kelly, Ralph Burns, and a few other cats went over to Paris from Germany while they were playing with Woody Herman's Third Herd, the first to play Europe in 1954. All the players involved - Nat Pierce, Cy Touff, Jerry Coker, Bill Perkins, Dick Hafer, Chuck Flores, Jimmy Gourley - were either currently in the Third Herd or kicking around Europe anyway. Why have you heard of so few of these people? Simply because they are footnotes in jazz history, not major players
