The Legge is not owned by BN. It was licensed from Vogue.

I forgot to mention the Mobley quartet record.

and your call yourself....

Starting with the 1501 & 2 (Miles), 1503/4 (Bud), 1506/7 (JJ), 1509 (Bags), 1510/11 (Monk), 1518+20 (Silver), 1521/22 (Blakey), 1526 (Brownie), 1531/32 (Fats), 1535 (KD) and 1537 (LD) - these are all compilations of singles and 10" material into the 12" form. The Blakey I mentioned earlier were sides from '47 originally issued on 78.

BN owns the Green date, the Mecca date, the Hipp and the two Best of the West lps. No Parlan 10" material, but previous issues include the 2 Hopes, and the Moody/Blakey material.

OH! You are such a tease! Yup, but about once a year I "put out"!

The extra $12 plus shipping is worth it........just save the Soul Jazz disc and sell it on ebay in a couple of years.

I'm looking forward to....to.......Damn, it was on the tip of my tongue.

April 22, 1971.

A very white program. What is going on.

Can't be any good. Bunch of white guys nobody's ever heard of. That must be why I'm "pushing" it. AND pay no attention to the next recording I did with them. The addition of Charles Tyler was a crass commercial step by a desperate record producer. I'm sure it is just a coincidence ECM picked 'em up after me. Let me see... ECM records Bowie, AEC, Leo, Roscoe, Hal after I do - might there be a pattern here? Seriously, Hal's subsequent death was a big blow for lots of fans and friends.

It is my understanding most of the Revenant is from the Ayler tree cds.

No mention of Green Acres.

I think it comes from Byas.

Nils Winther, owner/producer of SteepleChase is a VERY canny marketer. I would not put it past him to list the wrong takes on purpose, to screw up the cd burners. On the other hand, he's a sloppy producer, and they may be "real" errors.

Go with the box.

Strata East was basically a "vanity label". If you had the bucks to pay for a session, they would issue it. A bunch of friends of Tolliver and Cowell bit. The label "style" was dictated by the sessions issued, but it was really the same as a public access channel.

Black Lion issued a dandy lp called It Don't Mean a Thing (etc) with Gonzalves, Earl Hines, Al Hall and Jo Jones. You should hear them negotiate Over the Rainbow.

A quick check of Rust indicates the Boswells are on the last two titles only.

and it is spelled Thelonious.

Do writer's searches on the web sites of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC. If you don't find what you want, contact me.

Probably my favorite show only aired for one season - Tim Reid's "Frank's Place". Tim's previous gig, "WKRP" wasn't bad either.

As far as I know, New Jazz was a subsidiary of Prestige and most/many of their records were reissued on Prestige. But, hellyeah: don't forget it, they had some great stuff (like Dolphy, Waldron, Carter, etc. etc.) ubu Not only was New Jazz part of Prestige, it preceeded it. From the first session on Jan 11, 1949 (Konitz/Tristano), through November '49 (Wardell), all issues were on New Jazz. The Prestige label was introduced for the Stitt/Bud Powell sides of Dec. 11, 1949.

I know Randy dislikes Destry. He was bummed when it was partially reissued before.

Paul's best stuff is with Duke, he knew how to present him. Favorites are the Fantasy date called "DE and his Orchestra featuring PG". This must be an OJC. Another great performance is on an old Columbia lp called "All American in Jazz". This was on cd from France some time ago and includes a PG feature titled "I've Just Seen Her" which is any price you have to pay.
