More tracks on Membran

Another 10 CD box, European Jazz; New Sounds From The Old Continent, contains two of Gullin's tracks: Lotus Corniculatus and Half Nelson. In addition the entire "Sax Appeal" session with Curbits, Play for love, Birdland, Zodiac and Just a take. Plus Blues for Bill and Nils Lindberg's group recordings (sans Lars) from October 1960.
The box also gives us Franco Cerri's Flavio's Blues (with Lars, Flavio Ambrosetti and George Gruntz).
Listen to the Blues and Just one of those things (the latter without Lars) on Youtube:

Apart from that, the box offers a nice mix of wellknown and forgotten singers as Cleo Laine, Alice Babs, Rita Reys (who sings jazz in Dutch), Inge Brandenburg, Lita Roza and Jula de Palma.
Plus groups led by Krysztof Komeda, Bobby Jaspar, Jutta Hipp, Tubby Hayes, Bernard Pfeiffer, Sacha Distel, Basso-Valdambrini and Martial Solal and Dizzy Reece.

Don't Get Scared vocalesed on YouTube

Jon Hendricks wrote the lyrics to Getz' and Gullin's solos on Don't Get Scared and has recorded it a number of times with Annie Ross and King Pleasure. You can hear them on YouTube along with a more recent take with Kurt Elling and Jon Hendricks:

There is also a much differnt, more modern recording of the tune by Errick Johnson .

Flamingo Spotting

The two Getz–Gullin duets from 1951, Flamingo and Don't Get Scared, keep reappearing. The other day I saw a 10 CD box from Membran (232755) titled Stan Getz: Master of the Sax. It also includes the six quartet tunes Getz recorded the day before and eight tunes recorded in Stockholm in December 1955. All with Bengt Hallberg. Plus Getz' sessions with Silver, Brookmeyer, Hampton, JJ Johnson, Gillespie, Oscar P and Mulligan.
