He called me & I decided it would be a fun thing to do - Red Norro will be going Jimmy Wyble on guitar & Steve Swallow on bass - Benny & I have been rehearsing together & he’s really inspiring to play with and very charming -’.

Some sitters in were Jo Jones Tyrel Glenn Wild Bill Davision Cutty Cutshall & Louis Metcalfe.’ They have both ‘been busy writing lately and are beginning to get some good songs’.

Best.-Nr. 22406The interview appeared in the April 1964 number of 'Crescendo' magazine London. The interview – retitled 'Duke looks back – and forward in an interview with Les Tompkins' – features on pp.6-7 of the April 1964 number of 'Crescendo'. Sammy Davis Jr features on the cover with the announcement 'NOT A WORD ABOUT THE BEATLES!' Three items the typescript of the interview and two accompanying pieces one not used. All three in good condition lightly aged. ONE: Carbon typescript titled 'That's where the tailoring comes in Duke Ellington talks to Les Tomkins'. 6pp 4to. On six leaves stapled together at a corner. Of particular interest in this typescript is the following passage – suppressed in the published version – in which Ellington names Jimmy Forrest as one of his imitators: 'we've had people like Jimmy Forrest – who took a couple of pages out of our book wrote a number and called it something else. It became the biggest thing since “St. Louis Blues”. And that's “Night Train” - you know from “Happy Go Lucky Local”'. In a couple of instances the typescript appears closer to Ellington's voice than the published version. It features the Americanism 'specialty' rather than the published 'speciality'; and has the following passage which was recast for publication: '… and as the refreshments would take over and he would roll of the piano stool – why they would call in the soda jerker i.e. Ellington to come and play the piano.' The published version reads: 'As the refreshments took over and he rolled off the piano stool they'd call in the soda jerker to play the piano.' Other changes are relatively minor: 'Some people don't like to have to – what is it … to follow something they are not familiar with' printed as 'Some people don't like to have to apply themselves. … to follow something unfamiliar'; 'Then you don't have to worry about how many drinks you take' printed as 'Then they don't have to worry about how many drinks they take'; 'the English audience has' printed as 'the British audiences have'; 'is a thing which is rare' printed as 'is rare'. In the typescript the preamble to the article ends rather lamely 'However here are some of his interesting utterances about:' this is replaced in the printed version with 'But the printed words alone have their own value. – L.T.' In addition the published version exhibits a few minor editorial changes such as the correction of 'fit' to 'fitted' and 'less notes' to 'fewer notes'. The typescript has the following headings: 'His jazz beginnings' 'When he was a fixer' 'The men in the band' 'Billy Strayhorn' 'Their writing approach' 'Ellington imitators' 'His view of the present band' and 'His view of the future'. These are replaced in the published version by 'Smart' 'So loud!' 'Cutting' 'Renaissance' and 'Protection'. TWO: Carbon typescript headed: 'The Duke presents a bouquet to our audiences'. 1p 4to. Published in a box at bottom left of first page of interview under the title 'An Ellington bouquet'. THREE: Carbon typescript of one-sentence quotation from Ellington under title 'Duke Ellington's comments on Crescendo'. 1p 4to. Reads: 'I think it's wonderful reading. And it's very exciting thrilling – interesting mainly – and enjoyable.' This endorsement does not appear to have been used by the magazine. The material comes from an archive of typescripts by Tomkins of his Crescendo contributions including interviews with Louis Armstrong Sonny Rollins Bud Freeman Stan Tracey Erroll Garner Stan Kenton Quincy Jones Joe Turner Tubby Hayes Stan Getz. The interview appeared in the April 1964 number of 'Crescendo' magazine [London]. unknown
Best.-Nr. 22405The interview appeared in the July and August 1966 numbers of 'Crescendo' magazine London. The interview was published in two numbers of 'Crescendo' 'The world's most authoritative music magazine' founded 1962. The first part retitled 'Music & Moore Les Tomkins interviews “The Genuine Dud”' – was the leading article pp.18-19 of the July 1966 number of with Moore featuring on the cover. The second part was published in the following number August 1966 pp.18-19 and 25. Four items all in good condition with light aging. ONE: Carbon typescript of first part of interview with title replaced on publication: 'The Serious Side of Dudley Moore A Les Tomkins Interview'. 8pp 4to. On leaves of blue and yellow paper. The typescript appears to correspond to the published version other than a few minor stylistic changes and the correction of a few errors such as 'Maudlen' to 'Magdalen'. TWO: Carbon typescript of second part of interview titled 'More Music and Moore Part Two of the Les Tomkins interview with "The Genuine Dud"'. 8pp 4to. With ink notes indicating that one short passage should be moved and the correction of a typing error. THREE: Carbon of typed letter from 'Les' to 'Victor' i.e. Victor Graham the magazine's editor. 1p 12mo. In what is a covering note to Item One Tomkins writes: 'This is about half of it. The remainder is equally good. He talks about working with the bands of Vic Lewis and Johnny Dankworth the hostility he encountered his development as an accompanist; speaks of Tony Coe as “the perfect hornman for our Trio”; Peterson's accompaniments; his experience in the States; his high regard for Pete and Chris detailing their qualities; the fun he had at the Establishment and how he misses it; his plans for using jazz more extensively in films; Beyond the Fringe; humour in music; putting jazz across to a wider public; shyness of musicians; the ego of Miles Davis; his dislike of the atmosphere of listening to jazz; his desire to work with a big band of his own.' He ends by asking when the second half should be used. FOUR: Carbon typescript titled 'ROUND & ABOUT'. 2pp 4to. Mostly taken up with a gig review beginning: 'Sonny Rollins unavoidably detained missed the first two days of his engagement. On the Monday this resulted in a welcome one-night stand being played by the Dudley Moore Trio.' Comparing the gig with a previous engagement at Ronnie Scott's the review comments on Moore's 'microphone prescence today' 'hilarity caused by the funny voices he is expected to adopt between tunes' and his 'accomplished' and 'irresistibly groovy' piano playing. Moore 'brought off a "first" at the club - with his falsetto singing of an old English madrigal'. Two other reports: the first one a short item on Sonny Rollins' music for the film 'Alfie'; the second on Tubby Hayes being 'well in evidence on the London scene again' with details of his 'new quartet'. The material comes from an archive of typescripts by Tomkins of his Crescendo contributions including interviews with Louis Armstrong Sonny Rollins Bud Freeman Stan Tracey Erroll Garner Stan Kenton Quincy Jones Joe Turner Tubby Hayes Stan Getz. The interview appeared in the July and August 1966 numbers of 'Crescendo' magazine [London]. unknown
