Subject: Re: Larry Adler NPR

Ken Ficara was curious about the recordings Larry Adler did with the great
jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt. They met in Paris in the spring of 1938
and it seems that Django and his group backed up Adler at a recording session
for Adler's label at the time, Columbia. As far as I've been able to find
out, four sides were issued: "Body and Soul," "Lover Come Back To Me," "My
Melancholy Baby," and "I Got Rhythm." Adler doesn't refer to the session in
his autobiography--which is odd, because he's an incurable namedropper--but he
did say once that "No one flings a word like 'genius' around lightly,
particularly about a fellow artist, but Django is the one person I wouldn't
hesitate to call a genius. Playing with him didn't mean just a few hours of
excitement but a few far too short hours when I really felt I'd learned
something."

About 20 years ago I found an LP entitled "Larry Adler" on Music for Pleasure
(a subsidiary label of EMI), MFP 1408. It was a European import. It has all
four of the Adler/Reinhardt cuts as well as eight other fine cuts. Django
really brought out the best in Adler. Adler is not a jazz player, but he
really cut loose with Reinhardt. "I Got Rhythm" is a particularly great cut.
Hopefully these four tunes have been rereleased and someone on this list has
run across them.
