    I well remember the review of Ole in Jazz Journal in, I guess, 1962 The reviewer unfavourably compared the playing of "George Lane" to Boyce Brown. Of course in those days we didn't know definitively who "George Lane" was and I am not sure that the reviewer had heard any of Eric's records.

    We should have had 7 AND 8 by now! I do hope this series hasn't died a death

    Looking on streaming sites, it is claimed that 6/8 is on the 1953-1954 "Dizzy Gillespie in Chronology" CD. Manteca Theme / Contraste / Jungla / Rhumba-Finale / 6/8 (05-24-54) is shown as lasting 16:29 which implies 6/8 is not really there given the discogs timings. I can't listen to it to confirm

    If you look at the "other images" on that discogs link you will see that there is a shot of side 2 which does indeed include Contraste/Jungla/Rhumba Finale https://www.discogs.com/release/12735433-Dizzy-Gillespie-And-His-Orchestra-Afro/image/SW1hZ2U6MzY4ODg4MDc= It appears you can get 12 minutes on an EP. Surprises me. There are also shots of the liners which for me are illegible unfortunately

    Also the timing given for "6/8" (4:47) is very close to the timing of "Rumba-Finale", the third part of the suite. Sure looks as if you are right

    I don't think that's right either, it was recorded in mono so any stereo issues are fake. "Pres and Teddy" was, as it happens, the first jazz LP I bought, in 1961

    The sleeve notes, which can be seen on Discogs, clearly state that it is unreleased 🙂 It's by the larger group that appears on MDM and Lock Em Up

    Hah. Me too but it was Leo Wright, not James Moody. Same night that I saw Coltrane and Dolphy. I'm old now but I was young then.

    I have read through the explanation given here but I still do not understand why some tracks on "The OKEH Ellington" are not available for this series. What has happened since 1991, when "The OKEH Ellington" was issued, to bring about their unavailability? The changes of ownership seem to have been over by 1940. I don't see how the sale of EMI in 2012 is relevant.

    Volume 2 now on Amazon and presumably other streaming services
