No, Sonny Rollins also.

Don't know the answer to that, but Paul van Wageningen and Rob van Wageningen are (were?) not related.

I heard Ayler in 1964 and 1966.

I was fortunate to be there that night - Comblain-la-Tour, August 1, 1965.

When asked about certain things in his "autobiography", Miles answered "I don't know, I haven't read it".

Saw both Roach groups live - the one with Hubbard and Spaulding in the autumn of 1966 and the other with Bridgewater and Pope in 1981. The first didn't leave much of an impression due to Rollins and Ayler playing that same night. Wasn't overly enthusiastic about the second either, although it was always good to hear Max of course.

# 6 - Nat Adderley, Johnny Griffin, Gene Harris (I think).
-
#14 - Guitar player is Billy Mackel?
-

Goodday - An old BFT (I think it was #95) had a track (Autumn in New York) by Don Byas with the Kurt Edelhagen Orchestra. I can't find it in the archives anymore. As I'm working on a comprehensive sessionography of DB, studying all his recorded legacy as well as collecting all data on him (which will, in course, hopefully result in a volume on the man's Life and Work, I'm much interested in obtaining a copy. Would that be possible somehow? I have a newspaper cutting saying that it was broadcast by WDR on May 31, 1961, so it was recorded before that date. Another title recorded was Dancing in the Dark. Being originally from Amsterdam (I now live in Portugal), I have had the good fortune of hearing DB play on many occasions during the 1960s, in both formal and informal settings.

Track 5 Lucky Thompson? No, don't know which record it is. Just recognized Lucky Thompson (especially the fast runs towards the end convinced me, as well as the overall tone). Could the pianist be Tommy Flanagan?

They may not all be currently available at Amazon, but a broader search will find you many. Check here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83140263/Don%20Byas%201946-1972.pdf

These tracks have been reissued innumerable times on many different labels and in many different combinations.

John Coltrane 1953 Nestor Records (James "Coateville" Harris)
Caravan replied to Mark Stryker's topic in Discography
It's Coltrane, no doubt. When I first heard these sides years ago I was not tipped, but knew it was him right away. Not really hard if one knows his early work with Dizzy and Hodges (check his solo in Castle Rock with Hodges ' band, live 1954). The Coltrane Reference (DeVito et al.) lists the Coatesville Harris sides as Trane's only (known) recordings from 1953 ("date unknown, but most likely 1953") and comments: "Coltrane is identified by aural evidence only, but we consider the evidence overwhelming". -
John Coltrane 1953 Nestor Records (James "Coateville" Harris)
Caravan replied to Mark Stryker's topic in Discography
The flip side is entitled Ham Hocks And Hominy, it also has Coltrane. I have ivr.files of both sides (which I could play on my old computer, but not on my new - anybody any idea what an ivr.file is and how to deal with it? I know nothing about those things). -
I have the complete "Don Byas Come Home" video on CD-R somewhere, including him playing at Newport with Dizzy's rhythm section of the time and chatting with Pops (among others). I've seen Don playing many times during the 1960s, in both formal and informal settings.

Has Charles Tyler been mentioned? I especially dug Eastern Man Alone (with Dave Baker on cello, and two bassists). Made me laugh.

No love for Hasaan here?

Ditto on St. Nick's. He plays things you don't always hear him play. I wish the other soloists were recorded. Probably Jimmy Knepper was saving tape. He probably was, but I don't mind - it's part of the legacy. Bird was surpassing himself that night. After all those years and playing the LP and now the CD countless times, I still find the atmosphere totally mesmerizing.

Agreed!
