Re Armstrong: listen to his solos on "Potato Head Blues" by his Hot Seven. Re Mulligan: don't know what to say, as Mulligan discs make up the highest number by any artist in my collection. Re Brubeck: at least we can agree on this!

Beveridge Stafford Cripps Aneurin Bevan (You must be older than I thought, Sidewinder! Ernest Bevin Herbert Morrison and his grandson

Anderson Morrison Nissen (Only MG is old enough to remember these, and he doesn't seem to be around these days)

That collection of names rings a bell. I saw a package at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester in the late 70s that included the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orch, Freddie Hubbard, Richard Williams, Jimmy McGriff and Jeremy Steig - no Kenny Burrell, though! I don't remember the year, just the month - November - as fog at Manchester Airport had separated the band from their uniforms and charts, so it was jamming in informal dress. What date do you have for the recordings? Were they taped live at a concert somewhere?

Without doubt, the 1956 sessions that produced Miles's Workin', Cookin', Steamin' and Relaxin'. Together with Red Garland, they create jazz rhythm section perfection as far as I'm concerned.

Sonny Rollins, Alfie

Here's my list so far: http://open.spotify.com/user/davidayers/pl...y9p3D2UfHLANSZM I included anthologies as they often have tracks from albums I can't find (Wes Montgomery etc.) I don't have a list of JHCDs or JHAS to work from. The Archive Series are maybe the most interesting (U.S. musicians visiting in mid 60s, like the Stitt/Scott and Stitt dates, Golson and a few more... but like I say I can't find a discography. Some artists I didn't follow through on and might be there... I'm afraid my list is lo-tech and involves ball pen and lined paper.
