Hello all,
i just finished to hear the new chet baker cd „the lost holland concert featuring dick twardzik“ on rlr records. There are three concert recordings from september 18, 1955 in scheveningen, netherlands, september 21, 1955 in mainz, germany (formerly on philology records) and september 24, 1955 in zürich, switzerland. Wonderful music and new jewels in the short discography of pianist dick twardzik!
Now my question: the last two tracks on this cd are from september 24, 1955 in zürich („happy little sunbeam“ and „moonlight in vermont“, incomplete). Liner notes by one matías rinar mentioned twardzik on piano, jimmy bond on bass and peter littman on drums but here is chet´s announcement: „thank you very much, it´s very groovy to be here this evening in switzerland my first trip to switzerland. Just finished doing little television bit (?) and now come over here to play a few tunes for you with a very wonderful rhythm section. Siro and elsie bianchi and rene nathworth (?) in the rhythm section...“
So, it´s not his quartet with twardzik, bond and littman!
Siro bianchi plays bass and elsie bianchi piano but knows anybody the right name of the drummer? I understand „rene nathworth“.... and where are the others of chet´s regular quartet? Is there any tv appearence of baker from switzerland? (he mentioned it!)
There is no answer in the online version of jack chamber´s dick twardzik biography and discography here

and here

maybe in the now(?) coming book „bouncing with bartok“ by jack chambers. (man, we are waiting for years for the publishing!!)
any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks in advance!
Keep boppin´
