I remember playing "Milestones" complete with Coltrane sheets of sound solo in the refectory at Leeds University - a venue, incidentally, which was to become famous a few years later for The Who Live in Leeds. I suppose that the 45 rpm version of Horace Silver's "Senor Blues" was produced with the jukebox market in mind.

Background to my current re-reading of Leitch's excellent autobiography:

Track 1 "Ooh Bop Sh'Bam" Powell, Navarro, Dorham, Stitt Track 4 Sidney Bechet, Tommy Ladnier, "I've Found a New Baby" Track 11 Phineas Newborn?

Recent boppish three tenors and organ date. Nice!

And from your list, Peter I saw the following: Stitt (twice), Lee Morgan, PJJ, Louis Hayes, Konitz, Pepper Adams, Dexter, Thad, Mel (twice), Frank Foster, Wess and Newman. Some others I saw who I don't think were in either list were: Cozy Cole, Earl Hines, Jack Teagarden, Woody Herman, Paul Desmond,
