Jimmy Rowles was a big Wayne Shorter fan, & recorded a number of his tunes over the years. Devil's Island (Some Other Spring, BAJC, 1972) Chess Players (Paws That Refresh, CHOICE, 1974) Miyako, Tom Thumb, Tell It Like It Is, Running Brook (Pretty Eyes, PROGRESSIVE, 1976) Lester Left Town, Chess Players (The Peacocks, COLUMBIA, 1977) Mama G (Red 'n Me, ALL LIFE, 1979) This is what I could find in my collection - I'm sure there are more. One of my favorite tributes to Wayne is Shorter By Two (SUNNYSIDE, 1983) by Kirk Lightsey & Harold Danko, a whole album (11 tracks on the CD) of piano duet interpretations of Shorter tunes. Worth looking for!

Have seen it many times, always enjoy it. It's probably the only 50's rock & roll film with name actors and high production values. "Rock pile dust is in my shoes........."

Not failing at all - enjoyed all of this. I remember speaking with another person who had taken Davis' class, and he mentioned that Davis had dissed Kenny Burrell, or at least this was how I interpreted it. This would have been the "Night At the Village Vanguard" album, which is one of my favorite Burrell records. If you think of any more, please carry on!

The redhead is Gwen Verdon. She always made my thermometer rise. I think it's Dick Shawn singing "A Little Help". Love the hair, Dick! I agree about Bing - the greatest. A cheesy slice of show-biz history - brought a nostalgic smile to my lips.

In rereading my last post, I see that I failed to mention the name of the 1987 book to which I was referring. It is "Blues Records 1943-1970" by Mike Leadbitter & Neil Slaven. Although published before the onslaught of CD reissues, it is still an invaluable work.

BB King’s recordings for the Biharis have always been a nightmare for discographers. The 1987 edition took several giant steps in sorting out the mess, but in consulting the book now, I can see that there was still a considerable amount of guesswork involved. Adding the nearly 20 years of LP and CD released by Ace since the book's publication only complicates matters worse. Anyway, I think it is valuable to mention what they have to say. Many years ago I had heard rumors of "under the table" sessions that BB made for the Biharis after signing with ABC, but L&S make no mention of a 1965 session for the Biharis, but they do show four of the titles cited by allblues as coming from 1961/62, at the end of his stint with them. The last two are not listed at all. Ain't Nobody's Business 1961/62 Blues Stay Away from Me 1961/62 Eyesight to the Blind 1961/62 Five Long Years 1961/62 Make Me Blue A Woman Don't Care The fact that the basic track for “A Woman Don’t Care” is mono implies that this may be an earlier recording. As for “Bad Breaks”, L&S attribute it to a 1953 session, first issued in the 1960’s on the single Kent 470, and on the LP “Boss of the Blues” (Kent 529 / United 7750).
