This weekend's posts are special to me, because I've known that Mike LeDonne played a good bit with Percy France, especially at Showman's and at a place in New Jersey but this WKCR Day broadcast is the only known recording.

Tom Harrell "Number Five" High Note cd The fifth High Note release of this excellent quintet!

So, yeah William Parker.

Kinda needing some answers here?

Parker & Zorn also shared the stage in Peter Brötzmann's Berlin Djungle. Horvitz, Parker, and Butch Morris also have a trio LP on Black Saint. There are, according to the William Parker Sessionography, a number of live collaborations not intended for release as well. The Alto Madness date with Jemeel Moondoc and Tim Berne in 1989 would have been fun to witness!

do the AAJ boards still exist? I don't feel like looking at that site & giving them traffic.

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.

May 9 Tania Maria - 1948

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