Chittison Recordings (Digest 96.07.10)
By Paul Johnson

Marc S.

I've never heard of any rolls that were cut by Chittison but maybe
someone else out there has more information.  John
Farrell of England has cut at least one of Chitton's performances
onto roll but I can't name it without checking the collection.

The good news is that there is a whole CD of Chittison
material on the Classics CD label.  It's called `Herman Chittison
1933 - 1941' #690.  His performances of Harlem Rhythm Dance
and Nagasaki are truly amazing.  I picked up my copy at a
Tower Record store but also try Worlds Records out of San Rafael CA.

Hope this helps and hope you have luck locating the CD - it's
well worth twice the price.
