I'd say you're on the right track here - it appears that all 4 titles from that Signature session havn't been released - check the link below https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/nc991730us Your mention of that Cole tune made me laugh - I remember first hearing it on the Cole Mosaic box in the mid 90s - I used to sing along with it to my children who got a buzz out if it & used to join in too

I count 51 Musicraft tracks (including 3 alts) via Lord - what about a double CD then? I'm surprised the Andorrans havn't attempted this unfortunately the four tracks from The Signature session (two unissued) are not on this Classics CD I'm wondering if Signature 15005 related to the two unreleased tracks from tyhe session Buck Clayton (tp) Trummy Young (tb) Milt Yaner (cl,as) Don Byas (ts) Ernie Caceres (bar) Billy Rowland (p) Hy White (g) Al Lucas (b) Jimmy Crawford (d) New York, December 4, 1944 SRC154 Let me call you sweetheart Signature 15006 SRC155 Lame brain (unissued) SRC156 Please, please, please Signature 15006 SRC157 Flogalapa (unissued) Note: For a session of January 4, 1945 on Continental C6005 as by James "Trummie" Young's All Stars, see under Clyde Hart.

Most of this material is sourceable & has had CD release, the trickiest being the Trummy Young Signature session - apparently only ever released as a Signature 78 (according to Lord). I did a crosscheck yesterday & have all of this material bar the Trummy session & the Teddy Wilson one (available on a Classics CD). BTW, Wilson did a significant number of recordings for Musicraft throughout '45 to '47 - could easily be a boxed set.

OMG!!! Just opened my emails & saw Mosaic's latest - all of my Christmases have come at once - I have been waiting for this for quite a few years now. So So good One down (Byas) & one to go (Wardell Gray)

and it's even had a CD reissue on Esoteric

He's also very contactable/approachable - I've done so a couple of times I've been picking up all of the Modern Harmonic & Cosmic Myth CDs (& occasional LP) soon after release

an MFP special - has become a kitsch label (at least here in Australia) - I've had a copy of this for years

Scored this in the Haden complete Montreal 6CD box a few years back https://www.discogs.com/release/2412236-Charlie-Haden-The-Montreal-Tapes

First thing that came to mind on seeing the lowermost image was the Pere Ubu track "Young Miles In The Basement"

Thanks Mark - what a blast - that's why I have so much admiration for Hawk

what a pity - it was a site I ventured to frequently

also just ordered (direct) plus the new Philly Joe Jones/Elmo Hope Birdland, Joe Albany unreleased session & Toshiko Akiyoshi's Trios & Quartets 53-58

yep, they've reissued the 3LP Playhouse set (500 more copies) essential HT/PAPA release IMHO

next two PAPA at IUCC doubles ready to go this month (October) - received an email from Nimbus https://www.nimbuswestrecords.com/shop-5/p/pan-afrikan-peoples-arkestra-live-at-iucc-112579-2cd-shipping-oct https://www.nimbuswestrecords.com/shop-5/p/pan-afrikan-peoples-arkestra-live-at-iucc-42780-2cd-shipping-oct

many thanks Mark - what a diverse range of material covering 13 years of Birds live output I've created the ordered playlist on my iTunes & am currently listening, BTW I actually have 19 of the 21 recordings you list

one of my more recent Melle finds was on the Creel Pone/Alpha State label (yes, I know it may not be legit) - it's a double CD covering his three "electronica" releases from 68-71 ie Tome IV (Verve), Waterbirds (Nocturne) & The Andromeda Strain (Kapp) both 10" & 12" versions https://alphastate.nyc/products/gil-melle-the-andromeda-strain?_pos=1&_sid=a21186b41&_ss=r

The Montgomery Riverside box has 12/14 tracks - only missing tracks are 1. alt #1 of S.O.S. 2. Released version of Full House but with the original Wes solo (from that take) reinserted & the other excised will pass on this one

we used to watch it here in Australia in the 60s - I always preferred David to Robert RIP

big shout out for the live Masadas Also Derek Bailey (includes Joseph Holbrooke Trio & Tony Oxley) & of course any Milford Graves

another outstanding graphic novel is the Monk effort by Youssef Daoudi https://www.amazon.com/Monk-Thelonious-Pannonica-Friendship-Revolution/dp/1626724342/ref=sr_1_2?crid=340X52AK132R5&keywords=thelonious+monk&qid=1695684713&s=books&sprefix=thelonious+mon%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C458&sr=1-2 There's an Albert Ayler graphic novel in the works being undertaken by Dean Westerfield - he's also a fan of Tapscott/Arkestra (see link) https://angelcityjazz.com/explorations/westerfield/

been doing that for years The recording of this historic concert is presented in its entirety for the first time in this edition. The remastered original tapes have been used to produce this CD, ensuring excellent sound quality. With little publicity and only one star arrived from America, Miles Davis, Bruno Coquatrix, owner and manager of the Olympia, accomplished an impressive feat by presenting a sold-out concert on Saturday, November 30, 1957, at 6 p.m. André Hodeir in Jazz Hot had written, "This concert by Miles Davis was one of the most beautiful jazz concerts we have ever heard in Paris. Brilliantly supported by Kenny Clarke, René Urtreger, Pierre Michelot, and Barney Wilen, the great trumpeter gave the best of himself in many passages." The producer and owner of this recording was the late jazz promoter Marcel Romano, who brought Miles Davis to Paris. After more than 60 years in storage, Romano’s nephew and heir discovered the tapes and sold them to Fresh Sound Records for a commercial release. The music on this album is a magnificent testament to Miles Davis’ engaging and captivating style, showcasing his unrivaled ability to push his peers beyond their limits and share his boundless creativity and inspiration with them, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and minds. —Jordi Pujol
