Huh? Both statements are true. Or are you saying that presenting something as "work" is inherently bad? Mike

Nah, hell freezes over when Syd Barrett joins the four onstage. Mike

Well, Buell Neidlinger WAS the leader on some of that Candid stuff and the Mosaic set is "The Complete Candid Recordings Of Cecil Taylor And Buell Neidlinger" and where's Buell? - hmmm, white guy. Chet Baker was NOT the leader and YET he is still there on the cover even though he's only a "with" on "The Complete Pacific Jazz and Capitol Recordings of the Original Gerry Mulligan Quartet and Tentette with Chet Baker" - hmmm, white guy. But affirmative action was put into place so that NONE of the THREE white guys made the cover of the Bix/Tram/Tea set. So there. Justice prevails. Mike

Were any of the included Blue Note sessions issued by any name other than just "Donald Byrd"? Who had the contract with Blue Note? Is Pepper on the cover of any of the original issues? Obviously, they couldn't leave out Adams's name entirely since they weren't including Fuego, Mustang, etc. which don't have Pepper. In this case, a "with" would have worked just as well - despite the fact that sometimes Byrd and Adams worked under Pepper's name (10 to 4). Mike

Where does Benny Goodman play trumpet? Or is that just something told in a story, never recorded? Then again, his brother Irving did play trumpet. Could there be confusion there? Mike

That one is "topical" - all about the news of that time (but there are still some things which never go out of style - like National Brotherhood Week). My favorite is his first album, the 10" "Songs By Tom Lehrer" which is much more accessible, in my opinion. Mike

Tom Lehrer is a favorite of mine, but he had nothing to do with Schoolhouse Rock. His "Silent E" and "L-Y" songs were written for "The Electric Company", a show on PBS (perhaps most famous now for featuring Morgan Freeman). Mike

http://www.treachers.com/pages/1/page1.htm...h=1099162921507 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0871546/ I haven't had a meal at an Arthur Treacher's in at least 25 years. I do have fond memories, though. Mike

Dorough is wonderful and hugely important, but let's not minimize the work of the others who made great contributions to the show, including Dave Frishberg (who wrote I'm Just A Bill), Lynn Ahrens, and the singers like Grady Tate and Blossom Dearie, among others - full details here: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~varnum/Stor...choolhouse.html Mike

Please see the Kenny Barron discography on my website. Mike

Holy Christ - that tune (correct title is "It All Comes Back To You") is probably my favorite on that record!!!! It's a piece by Onaje Allan Gumbs, medium tempo, kind of leaning towards a rock/latin/gospel straight eighths sound, and I have the solos memorized I've listened to it so much. It's on the Best Of Woody Shaw LP on Columbia too. I am seriously bummed about this. Why not leave it on Stepping Stones and keep Escape Velocity on Woody III and reissue *that* too. Not *thoroughly* satisfied at all. Mike

Bill Saxton is standing in the front row with a hat. http://www.nj.com/greatday/clickableimage.ssf If you click on his face there is some additional info. Mike

What exactly has changed since the revamp of last year (July?) - that was when I stopped using it much at all, so I can't really see any difference from then. Has it gotten even worse than that? Mike

Yes, but it's also on the page I listed - on a cassette tape, performed by "artist unknown" - it's the first tape listed. Mike

My vote on misspelling goes to Bill Connors for the ECM album "Theme To The Gaurdian". http://www.billconnorsguitarist.com/billco...iscography.html Connors insisted to the Germans that he was correct - saying who were they to question his command of the English language?! Ooops. FWIW, Bruyninckx (& Lord) have corrected this to "Guardian". Mike

Not in Bruyninckx - here's the only entry: -Nina Simone sings Ellington- : Nina Simone (vcl,p) acc by big band incl. strings + The Malcolm Dodds Singers (female vcl group) New York, 1963 I got it bad and that ain't good (*) Colpix CP425, Rhino R2-7272 (CD) Do nothin' till you hear from me - Hey, Buddy Bolden - Merry mending - You better know it - I like the sunrise - Solitude (*) - The gal from Joe's - Satin doll - It don't mean a thing (*) - Something to live for - Note : Entire session also on Colpix SCP425, Pye (Jap)XM-139-Y, (Jap)UPS-2032Y. (*) Also on Roulette CDP7.98584-2. Mike I came up with this: http://americanhistory.si.edu/archives/d53016.htm but that's not a whole lot of help.

Not sure I understand the question. Also, how are you doing a "leader search" - I am just searching on the text string "gerald wilson" (look in "Currently Selected Indexes" which is all letters A-Z) and it comes back with the letter W - scroll down to the fifth entry (after Gerald Wilson's appearances with Larry Williams) and there's the Gerald Wilson section (listed under the name Garland Wilson). Are you searching for GERALD WILSON (case sensitive)? Theoretically, that should work as a leader search - but obviously only if the info is correctly entered! Mike

Yup - Garland Wilson; followed by George Wilson & Jimmy Hinton; then Garland Wilson again!!! Mike

Chico San and Samba Yantra are by Chick Corea. I Will Wait For You is by Michel Legrand. The Creeper is by Sonny Red Kyner; The others are by Donald Byrd. Mike

According to Bruyninckx (& Lord), the film version also appears under the title "Sweet Georgia Brown" on Extreme Rarities 1008 (hoping that it's not as much of an extreme rarity as the Bean box). Mike

I believe Arkadia acquired Postcards. Mike

There are SOOOOO many. How about "You stole my wife, you whore thief you" (should be "horse thief") But why isn't this in the discography forum? Mike

Man, that logic does NOT apply here - note that my first listing shows the 1996 Verve CD issue "Lee Konitz Meets Jimmy Giuffre". That 2-CD set was an EXCELLENT quality legitimate issue. Mike

Oh - I get it - take the whole premise of things and then don't follow it, ergo "Bill Evans with Lee Konitz" *without* Bill Evans. Following up on the second entry I listed: Eddie Bert, Bill Evans out, Jim Hall (g) added New York, October 30, 1959 22965-11 You're clear out of this world Verve MGV8362, (Jap)J28J-25102 [CD] 22966-6 You are too beautiful - - 22967-1 The more I see you - - 22968-5 You're driving me crazy - - , Giants of Jazz (It)CD53182 [CD] Note: Verve MGV8362(mono) = Verve MGVS6131(stereo). All titles from Verve MGV8362 also on Verve (F)230444, (Jap)POCJ-2149 [CD], HMV (E)CLP1406, (E)CSD1331. Mike
