Yes. that's the recording I referred to in my post of last Monday (4 May) when I mentioned the vinyl release of this recording on IAJRC 48.

The Lord Discography also gives the May 11 date. There is also an earlier version listed from a Lincoln Hotel broadcast by the band on either March 27 or April 3, 1944, which apparently was released as an extra track on Dizzy Gillespie Masters of Jazz volume 5 that otherwise covers January-March, 1945.

Yes, the LP shown under your Discogs link ist the one I was referring to. As for the Mosaic booklet, it's surprising they list the May 11, 1944 date for the V-Disc recording by Raeburn. (The digital version of the Bruyninckx discography gives this date too.) Not that I would mistrust Mosaic but I'd have thought the compiler of the V-Disc reissue on the DAN label had his valid reasons for giving the September date.

Clark Terry is indeed on track 12. His sound is so personal that I can usually identify it within a bar or two. You were also correct identifying track 14 as "Deep River" by Archie Shepp & Horace Parrlan.

This was posted on Facebook with the following caption: Lou Donaldson with Herman Foster, John Webber and Larry Johnson (?) at George Jazzcafé in Arnhem, The Netherlands, October 23, 1988. Photo by Joop van Osch That's a very young John Webber on bass. In 1988, he would've been 23. I actually didn't know he was playing professionally that long ago.

O Of course the Shepp-Parlan is 14, not 13.

“Chick Corea & Origin A Week at the Blue Note” disc 1

Staring off with “Black Art Jazz Collective: Presented By The Side Door Jazz Club.” Quite a band!

8-16: Most of these I have no idea, but: 12. Very nice tune, I think the trumpeter is Clark Terry, it reminded me his great solo in "A tune for the tutor", a personal favorite. 13. I got this: "Deep river" by Archie Sheep and Horace Parlan.

Jason Moran / Marcus Gilmore / BlankFor.ms - Shards (Red Hook Records, 2026). Very interesting album. I've listened to it a couple of times today.

The lady has a great set of pipes. The arranger knows something about arranging. But somehow every time it starts to get going with a little jazz feel, it pulls up short and delivers cringey, artsy-fartsy schmaltz...

I already have it and I love the album. Why didn't I think of that before? It's "In light of blackness" from Black Unity Trio "Al-fatihah". Great choice!

I agree. Today the mail came. And with it a second package from The Lost Recordings with the Coltrane and the Getz Zardi's UHQCD sets. I think my second order was not canceled as it was said to be. Sigh. Worse problems are possible!
