mikeweil Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 This site lists a Jimmy Jones 10" LP for Atlantic from 1953: ALR-127 - Piano Solos - Jimmy Jones [1953] ... but doesn't list titles. Can't find it in Lord, don't have my Bruyninckx at hand. Anybody here who has heard it or has details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 No sign of it on the Jazzdisco.org Atlantic discography, either. BSN are pretty reliable, so I'd say it exists somewhere. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 My Bruyninckx doesn't list it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I did a search for 127, but there wasn't one. Pity Jazzdisco,org didn't put a 10" list in their site. Still sure it's around somewhere. Has anyone got the Atlantic discography by Michel Ruppli? MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 This link shows a Billboard that lists many albums in this series: http://books.google.com/books?id=ah8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA33&lpg=PA33&dq=%22jimmy+jones%22,+piano+solos&source=bl&ots=5SUW4NVicd&sig=IHOEdNr8YBatQDxE0BkN13PAJgE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=nWEqUY3_PNGL0QGa1IGQBA&ved=0CEUQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22jimmy%20jones%22%2C%20piano%20solos&f=false Some of these clearly contain material that did not originate with Atlantic. For example, the Barney Bigard was on an obscure label called Rex (not the more familiar Rex label that some of you may know). The Pee Wee Russell material is from HRS. Ruppli lists three trio (not solo) sessions led by Jones in 1957. Since the Billboard ad is from 1951, it can't be those trio sides. If the material on the listed album really consists of solo recordings by Jones, my guess is that they might the solo sides he made for Wax.

According to my Bruyninckx they were made in 1947. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Thanks all - these are the solo sides Jones cut for Wax (according to Lord): Jimmy Jones (p) solos or acc on some sides by Al Hall (b) Bill Clark (d) New York, 1947 W116 Empty space (trio) Wax 106 W117 What's new ? - W118 When I walk with you Wax 113 W118-X? When I walk with you (alt) Wax 113 W119 I'll see you again Wax 110 W120 Mad about the boy Wax 110 W121 Someday I'll find you 111 W122 Zigeuner (ah added) - W123 Clair de lune 107 W124 Lover man - W130 New York City blues Wax 112 W131 On a turquoise cloud Wax 113 W132 Bakiff Wax 112 Since later group recordings of Jones for Wax were reissued on Atlantic your hypothesis seems plausible. Lord says they are all on a Classics CD - that would be the reissue to look for. Since they are 12 tracks plus one alternate, the Atlantic 10 incher couldn't have contained the whole bunch, anyway.

Chuck Nessa Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I stopped looking for that one a while ago - the prices were nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I stopped looking for that one a while ago - the prices were nuts. The Classics CD is available from private sellers on Amazon UK for around £14.50 / $22 / €16.80 (including tax, which will be deducted for non-EU orders) plus shipping: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B0000945YL/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well, in that particular case I went for the download that was available. I have all the discographical data from Lord - with one exception: there is a singer on "Empty Space" - now who is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Another buying option would be the Storyville release: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) The vocalist on "Empty Space" is identified as "Lynn." I meant to post that many of the Jimmy Jones recordings on Wax are also available on a CD issued by Storyville (as mikeweil just noted in the short time that it took to post this). That's how I have some of this music. This following link provides some information on the Classics and Storyville releases: http://www.depanoram...ms/04dems1c.htm Edited February 26, 2013 by jazztrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks, that's pretty exhaustive info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 p.s. I am enjoying this piece of Ellingtonia immensely, as dies my wife ... I think I'll rather look for the Ben Webster Classics discs for the remaining Wax sessions instead of getting the incomplete Storyville compilation.
