#yiv4529070704 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}Was just listening to Leo
Green guest hosting The Clare Teal Show (Jazz FM, February 13th)
Of Van Morrison's "Moondance", he claims "I'm even reliably informed that Frank
Sinatra made a recording of this song, which featured Harry Edison on trumpet,
but unfortunately his version has never been released".
Has anyone ever heard of this?
Richard I have all of the Reprise work sheets, catalog with master
numbers, full page of unissued recordings.There is nothing. I interviewed quite
a few musicians who worked many Reprise sessions. Never a mention.But anything
is possible. Frank did record Tom Shapiro's "Nobody Has A Better Dream Than
Me." Song wasintended for "Trilogy." Frank did 19 takes. Bob Gaudio is a close
friend of Tom's. He had me contact him. Tomgave me a detailed description of
what transpired. And there are other sub rosa efforts. Have you
seen "Belfast ?" Van Morrison music is the dominant sound throughout.Ed
