Discographies on the web


mikeweil

Recommended Posts

I thought it might be a good idea to collect links to discographies of jazz musicians spread over the internet, thoroughly researched ones that is.

I got the idea earlier today when receiving an e-mail from the Darmstadt Jazz Institute linking to two files with the chronology and discography of Lee Morgan - the author has written a biography and wanted to update the listings in the book. Attention: clicking these links will open a download window for the pdf files:

https://www.press.umich.edu/pdf/leemorgan_chronology.pdf

https://www.press.umich.edu/pdf/9780472115020-Discography.pdf

The book on the publisher's site: https://www.press.umich.edu/132323/delightfulee/?s=supplemental_materials

More to come - please feel free to post your recommendations.

Moderators: If this thread proves to be useful, maybe you can pin it?

In this case, a subscription to the Tom Lord discography site would be worth considering .... 

Rust covers recordings up to 1942.

The listings on https://www.jazzdisco.org/ have to be taken with a grain of salt. Compare their Wes Montgomery disco, e.g., with the one Noal Cohen just finished, linked on https://jazzdiscography.com - these are some of the best and most elaborate.

Has anyone ever attempted a complete Coleman Hawkins discography?  Can one be found within Rust? 

Rust will include Hawkins recordings up to the recording ban in 1942.

Jean-Francois Villetard did a two volume discography of Hawkins covering through 1957.  Not online as far as I can tell.

No, it doesn't ... I've read only parts of it so far, but it's definitely worth it!

:tup Will get around to it at some point!

 

 

By the way, here's my Bobby Hutcherson discography

It's no longer comprehensive; it needs to be updated -- because I haven't revised the site for LONG time. Also, the discography is album-based, rather than session-based -- since I didn't have access to those details.

Despite those shortcomings, it may be useful to some folks. ;)

Ah, that's yours! I've actually used it at least twice in the past few weeks... have been waiting for those revisions for a long time ;)

on jazzlists.com there many artist and label discographies with the level of detail varying a little from list to list - nevertheless I find this a very useful tool

Musicians:

http://www.jazzlists.com/index.html

Labels:

http://www.jazzlists.com/SJ_Labels.htm

and one more, Michael Frohne has posted quite a few discographies on his blog (Booker Ervin, Hans Koller... loads of interesting stuff)

http://jazzrealities.blogspot.com/

see the list on the right for some guidance

Thank you for all the excellent posts on this thread.  I find much to love about this Bobby Hutcherson discography.

I presume that  you could find  all the Hawkins discographical information in Lord.  Am I right to presume so? 

You are - but remember that insuch a giant project there can always be mistakes or omissions. Major artists like Hawkins are treated with much care.

Billie Holiday's most complete sessionography, to my knowledge, is: http://www.billieholiday.be/index.html

 

Former member Michael Fitzgerald's Jazz Discography website contains plenty of "artist discographies", as well as an even larger amount of "leader discographies":

 * David Pamquist's The Duke - Where And When ("TDWAW") website goes far beyond a simple discography, trying to provide a complete chronicle of Duke Ellington's life. Anyway, it is worth spending a few thousands of hours just navigating through this endless source of information or checking some specific gig, date or recording. Long life David! (and some other contributors, among which I am proud to have contributed with some bits of information)
