Since starting this thread I learned about a recording of "This Is Always" by Lem Davis, Prestige 915, Oct. 16, 1951 that has never been reissued. The rhythm section of Teacho Wiltshire, Leonard Gaskin, and Teddy Lee is the same rhythm section that did Pleasure's "Moody's Mood" four months later on Feb. 9, 1952. Lem Davis is also on that recording.
None of the members of that rhythm section or Lem Davis are on Pleasure's original recording of "This is Always", September 29, 1953. However, Teacho Wiltshire was involved in Pleasure's 1962 remake of "This is Always" linked to above by mikeweil--(he copy of the 1953 recording on youtube from the 78 is very noisy; Pleasure's vocalese is the same on the 1962 remake).
Vincent Pelote of the Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University-Newark, in a reply to my query, stated that the Institute does have a copy of Prestige 915. Any member (1) located close enough to Rutgers-Newark to make feasible a visit to the Institute, and (2) have sufficient interest in this to make the visit to listen to Lem Davis's "This is Always" to determine if it's the source of Pleasure's two recordings?
An appointment is necessary to visit the Institute: https://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/newark/visit-study/institute-jazz-studies
It would be great if someone could check this out.
(Or maybe a member just happens to have a copy of Prestige 915).
