Is there any kind of index to this massive collection? Also it would be nice to know which tapes (or portions of tapes) have never been issued on LP or CD.

The Pettiford link references the RLR 3-CD set titled "The 1958 European Tour" by JJ Johnson and Kai Winding. Two of the songs (Tenderly and Making Whoopee) on the Unique Jazz LP are not shown on the Amazon track listing of the 3 CDs. I wonder if this is a case of mis-labeling the tracks on the CDs or if the LP really has two songs that are yet to be released on CD.

David Ayers- many thanks for the link to Oscar Pettiford. The link answered my questions.

Does anyone know any discographical information about this LP? The label is Unique Jazz (UJ-25). The cover says "made in Israel", the LP itself is marked "made in Italy". There are 9 cuts by 5 different groups. Artists are Phineas Newborn (2), Red Garland (2), JJ and Kai (2), Zoot and Lee Konitz (1), and Zoot (2). Oscar Pettiford and Kenny Clarke are also listed but not specifically to a cut. Only date info is "Late 50's". Most cuts do sound live. Is this a compilation of 5 short bootlegs? or what? The music is quite good and the recording quality (mono) is also quite good. The LP made a nice CDR.

Bump.

Pacific Jazz released a 12-CD series (plus a sampler) titled "West Coast Classics". Absolutely outstanding music!

Kevin- many thanx for this lead on Jay Migliori. I will pursue and post results.

My favorite is "Trane's First Ride" on the obscure Oberon label. AFAIK the LP has never been reissued on CD. Done at Birdland with Dizzy Gillespie and Milt Jackson in early 1951.
