Al McKibbon & the art of bilocation

Still researching Cal Tjader discographical details:

There is a George Shearing MGM session (info on the original single releases from the Bruyninckx disco, I added the LP and CD issues):

George Devins (vibraphone) George Shearing (piano) Jean "Toots" Thielemans (guitar) Al McKibbon (bass) Bill Clark (drums) Armando Peraza (congas -1)

New York City, March 25, 26 & 28, 1954

53 S 3043 Get Off My Bach MGM 12079, E-3293

53 S 3044 Stranger In Paradise MGM 12132, -

53 S 3045 I’ve Never Been In Love Before MGM 11754, E-3175

53 S 3046 Minor Trouble MGM 12227, E-3293

53 S 3047 Basso Profundo MGM 12182, -

53 S 3048 Mambo Inn -1 MGM 11754, Verve 529 900-2

53 S 3049 Drume Negrita -1 MGM 12038, E-3293

53 S 3050 Cool Mambo -1 MGM 12227, E-3175

The liner notes of the MGM LPs E-3175 and E-3293 (which I have) state Tjader plays on all tracks.

To make things even more unsure, I remember some entry (taken from the Verve Shearing CD Verve 529 900-2) that I cannot locate at this time, saying this version of Mambo Inn featured Tjader and was recorded at a different date ....

But there is a Tjader session:

- Cal Tjader Plays Afro-Cuban / Ritmo Caliente -: Cal Tjader (vibes, timbales) Eddie Cano (piano) Al McKibbon (bass) Armando Peraza (congas, bongos)

Los Angeles, March 25, 1954

Goza Fantasy LP 3-17, Fantasy EP 4021

Panchero Mambero - -

Ritmo Caliente - , Fantasy EP 4022, Fantasy F-8374

Mambo Inn - -

Bernie's Tune - -

All titles also on Trutone TLP 1027, Fantasy 3-216, Fantasy F-8077, Vocalion LAE 556, Fantasy F-24712, Fantasy FCD-24712-2.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks a lot, Guy - can you copy and paste all the Shearing entries for 1953 and 1954 from Lord? Would be great! Thanks again!

Because: If both sessions were recorded in L.A., Tjader would be the more likely vibist on the Shearing session!
