  1. Track 1 Title track fom Claudio Roditi, Free Wheelin': The Music of Lee Morgan. Roditi (tpt), Andres Boiarsky (tnr), Mark Soskin (pno), Buster Williams (bs), Chip White (dms) Recorded 29th July 1994 at Van Gelder Recording Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ. Reservoir Records. Have loved Argentinian-born Claudio's playing since I first heard him twenty years ago with Paquito D'Rivera at Wigan and with Dizzy in the United Nations Orchestra in Manchester.

  4. I have that one and very nice it is too! I suppose a vinyl disc on Peter Ind's label is a bit of a rarity now.

    Worth mentioning Budd's solos on Dizzy's "The Champ" and Basie at Birdland.
  13. Ross Bagdasarian William Saroyan Rosemary Clooney (any guesses on the connection?) Cheated. I thought maybe Rosemary Clooney had some sort of Armenian background. No - she didn't appear to, but who knows? To save others the trouble of checking, Bagdasarian & Saroyan wrote "Come On-a My House". George Clooney Wayne Rooney Bel Mooney
  14. It was an LP featuring Sonny Rollins - I don't remember which - and the liner notes were by Ira Gitler. Guy Sonny Rollins Plus Four Ah, yes! Thanks! I've just found it reprinted in the booklet of the CD. (Sorry, no scanner, Ubu )
  15. There was a 1950s LP (on Prestige perhaps) that had on the back a genealogy of tenor influences set out as a diagram. Anyone remember what it was?

  18. Late, but to the point! You're the first to identify Track 5 as Allen Eager's "Booby Hatch" from 1946 with Max on drums. First, too, to name Shorty Rogers as composer and arranger on Track 7. Correct on these, too: Hawkins on Track 6, Claude Williamson soloing with Charlie Barnet's Orchestra on Manny Albam's "Claude Reigns" on Track 8, "Jersey Bounce" on #10 and your assumption that tenor and bari are same player, Parker's "Segment" and "Relaxin' at Camarillo" on #11 and #13, respectively. Many thanks, Jeff! Still unsolved are the orchestra on #2, who's playing on #4, the leader/group on #7 and the pianist on #9 .
