Bebop Spoken There
Gretchen Parlato: "There's always an essence of the original [tune] that should be protected. I try to find that first - it's the thing that draws me to the material" - (DownBeat, March 2021)
By a process of elimination the Armstrong concert would be the first tour in 1956. The second tour was Feb.- March 1959 and the third April - May 1962. There is no date on my fist tour programme but the price is about right as I remember paying £1 5s for a ticket at the City Hall. Miles Watson

The Coleman Hawkins was 1967 - I was there in the middle of the front row, aged 14! Still got my ticket somewhere, too.
