IMPORTANT INFORMATION
From Mike- I stood next to the baby grand piano and had the microphone lying face up on the cast iron harp near the pin block. I would stop the recording when he was going to play a lousy tune for one of the customers to sing with, like the "wiffenpoof song." (Thus the reason for abrupt starts and stops) As soon as he got into something worth recording, I would start up again. it was 1959 or 1960. I was in college. During breaks, I would go and record. There was one time, I had Dick Hyman, myself, and Eubie Blake come with me to Wallace's to see Don. Eubie played on an upright on the wall. (Too bad no recording of that)
Frank Wallace was a very kind person based on what Mike told me and what I heard from one of the Balance brothers who also recorded Don (Hoping to secure these records soon.) as well as a few other sources. Not like most people who employed a musician.
Mike originally transferred the original 7 1/2 IPS 7 Inch Reel tapes to digital using ProTools, added some low end EQ and slight limiting, then converted to MP3 files and distributed to a few friends on CDs. Dr. L. Mazetier shared one of these CDs with Mr Jordi Sunol of Spain. Jordi proceeded to transfer the Mp3 files to WAV using a combination of analogue/digital equalizers and a digital editing program. He corrected some speeds and fading in and out at starts and stops that were too abrupt.
Though the files were transfered in the exact order given, Mike Lipskin states that it seems that there is some disorganization. "Lambert would play one slow song and then one fast song."
I want to thank everyone involved for their efforts in this. All I did was put it into a video. This is a great leap in the continuation of getting Lambert's name out in the world.
This is just great,,Don Lambert is my favorite stride pianist,though I love them all,he had it all.incrdible left hand, beautiful touch,and outsight rhythm.. and above all he plays like a force of nature,not just a guy playing the piano...and his sense of time was terrific.. .thank you all involved in this post.
A most heartfelt thanks to Mike Lipskin, Jordi Sunol, Louis Mazetier and Sugar Bear Mosher for providing and posting these precious musical treasures. Unbelievable material of a true piano genius, and very well recorded too! It seems to be there close to the legendary Don Lambert playing! Five hours! Priceless. Grazie mille.
Please never remove this absolute gem of musical history! It does not get better than this.
This is outstanding! Incredible work!
This posting is absolutely fabulous. I can scarcely believe my eyes (and ears) that so much there is now so much of Donald Lambert’s music has been saved and that the quality of almost all it has been so well restored and reproduced. I have only previously heard about half a dozen or so of some rather dubious recordings of him.Congratulations to all who have made this reproduction possible and I am amazed that there have been so few comments, so far. It seems to have been only about 7 months since this epic was posted. I am no pianist but I had frequently wished I had been able to hear more Donald Lambert instead of his being just a vague legend from the past. I had been having a rather ‘bad day’ today but it has now become a day to remember for the future. Congratulations to all involved in this venture.
So glad to have brought you joy. More lambert is uploaded and plenty more to come. PLENTY.
@@SugarBearMosher thanks and regards
Magnificent! Having so much material you get a real feel for Lambert's ability and range. Just came across the Tannhauser at 04:08, never heard an stride version before (it from the Liszt transcription of the overture). Like Jelly Roll Morton said, New York audiences went to the opera too and expected that material down the night club.
Incredible... Sugar Bear you're a legend. Thank you so so much for posting this.
Okay, this is epic. Doing God's work!
Wonderful, thank you so so much for Posting this! It is a real treasure, Im so glad I can listen to more footage!
Genius - Beyond genius
4 more hours than what you previously posted?! Amazing!
The audio is so clear like you are standing right next to him - lol thanks I noticed you wrote about the recording setup
This is just fantastic. Unbelievable in fact! I've only begun to listen, but the audio quality is some of the best I've heard from Lambert live recordings, way better than the LPs on Pumpkin, for instance. I've heard bits and pieces of this stuff from Mike Lipskin before, but I had no idea there was so much! What a treasure trove. Thanks to you and Mike for this upload and to Jordi Sunol and Louis Mazatier also!
So many great tunes, thanks for the upload !
Wahou !!! Fantastic... Is it possible to buy the records ??? Many thanks for posting.
merciiiiiii
Just realized he's playing Russian Lullaby in B flat in this recording... In the circle recordings he plays it in e flat I believe. Incredible how he can play the same tune in several keys.
All those old pianists could do that! Separates them from todays pianists. One day i hope to play all keys...but for now im a key of F chump for the most part. I play some e flat, c, d, but i have yet to master it all.
Eubie Blake talks often of playing in all the keys.
@@SugarBearMosher I heard that since he couldn't read sheet music, his mother made him learn how to play in all keys
@@garklein8089 It was mostly a matter of being able to accomodate singers ranges. If you wanted to pick up jobs as a singer’s accompanist you had to be able to play in their key of choice. I don’t recall that Eubie’s mother was too wild about his choice of career.
In most of the baptist church today, there is some excellent pianists playing in every keys.@@SugarBearMosher
This would be far more useful as a playlist with every piece uploaded separately.
That is all you have to say? Lol
