If they are indeed out of print this is a good idea.

Any recommendations?

All those showing their love for Buddy and Illinois over on the BFT thread should be interested in this: https://storyvillerecords.bandcamp.com/album/count-basie-at-the-aquarium-1946?from=fanpub_fb

Didn't Miles do the same thing? If so, that explains it.

I should probably try to hear more Jacquet in non-JATP settings.

It's credited to Coltrane and the liner notes explain that it's also known as "Miles' Mode".

There's a very nice selection of Kurt Weil songs on the 2nd disc.

Which Mosaic? This is great cut and seems to me to be rather subdued by their standards.

Never trust anyone who puts Ph.D.after their name. (Says Joe Medjuck, Ph.D.)

The winner and still champion! I remember Milt Hinton, Osie Johnson and Barry Galbraith being the New York go-to rhythm section. (Often with Hank Jones?)

I saw that group in '64. Remember being really impressed by Workman.

And there was always the Schwan's Record Catalogue but I've heard almost no person or institution has a complete run.

I read it a long time ago. IIRC (and I often don't) it connects KOB to many other movements in the arts. I liked it. BTW I really liked the first chapter of the new book which was quoted above. Even though I've claimed I'm not going to buy any more books about either Miles or Dylan (I am still buying nearly everything about Ellington) I'll probably get this book. KOB has a special place in my heart. I got it from the Columbia Record Club when it was first issued and I thought that if this was jazz, I loved jazz.

Yes and sometimes for a musician's complete output. There's a Miles Davis discography on Wikipedia from which you can see that in 1957 Miles had five great albums released: Walkin', Cookin', Bag's Groove, Miles Ahead and the first Lp actually titled Birth of the Cool. What kind of impact must that have had?

There's also this: Blue Moment: Miles Davis's Kind of Blue and the Remaking of Modern Music

I'd like to be able to find release dates of records. That gives an understanding of when a recording might have had its earliest influence.

I can't get the "Show more credits" to work. In case anyone else is as clueless as me: It's Fathead, Art Blakey, and Dr. John. All three get writing credits for the song, which is a bit simple for my taste but I love Mac's piano solo. He does sing on some cuts and on one Blakey plays piano!

Well, different drummer makes all the difference.

There was a sequel!!

I'm only seeing 10 cuts on either site. To quote Randy Newman "Maybe I'm doing it wrong." (I am computer illiterate.)

I remember them featuring Mel Torme on one release.

IIRC she was married to a great disc jockey who was responsible for taping Garner's Concert by the Sea. I heard him once broadcasting the origins of much of Sketches of Spain. Forget his name right now.

It's not the LA Times. It's a guy who who usually writes about Latino life saying what it means to him. I think it's interesting to hear from a non-musician non-white.
