That also applies to those who allowed Milt Jackson to sing. IMO.

Joe henderson - only track I know:

Kenny Dorham - he had his vocal feature with the Eckstine band, but there are two tracks made for Debut, and an album for Riverside. That's all there is.

It's plain fun! And the one on the Anthony Cox LP is so sensitively pseudo-Brazilian - nobody else could do this.

Yes, but not the Higgins vocal!

One of the tracksfrom that Amii Stewart LP was a hit in Italy the year I was on vacation in Sicily with my girl friend - whenever you turned on the radio, you copuld bet it would be broadcast within the next hour. As a friend said back then, he didn't like her music, but she made great album covers .....

Yes!

Listened through 3 & 4 yesterday, too, today it's 5 & 6

The latter is slightly better, almost as good as his first for Pacific Jazz. Fantasy could have made a twofer CD of them.

Finally somebody who is competent to continue the Dorothy Ashby jazz harp lineage. Just finished listening to this one 4 LPs on two CDs. The first two are almost all in slow tempos and not jumping, the last with Kenny Burrell and Eddie Costa is the "jazziest". Not for those who consider Jimmy Smith the ultimate jazz organ.

Any more opinions? I finally got a copy of the box and am enjoying it. But I didn' have much of it, just the Decca sides on an Affinity LP reissue, and a few of the pre-Capitol sides on the musical biography box set. To me, this places Nat in a broader musical perspective.

Yesterday it was discs 7 and 1, today it's disc 2 so far.

This will soon be slightly revised and published on jazzdiscography.com - stay tuned.

Now that's sexy!

That's why this track sounds so familiar to me!

Here ar some: Yes: https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/teddy-edwards-albums/5471-sunset-eyes-teddy-edwards-quartet-complete-recordings-4-lps-on-2-cds.html As I said, Cuscuna overlooked this like so many other oddities, I won't blame him, as there is no definite Pacific Jazz discography, but he could have looked into Lord. Even Jordi Pujol didn't catch all of them! I love this single - I love these vocal tunes by jazz instrumentalists. Reminds of Kenny Dorham's "Chicago" for Debut which remained unissued until the OJC CD. I always play this several times in a row.

Thanks for the nice words. I sure will! As long as I can listen and type, that is .....

Got this today, and it sure swings! I was no t aware Cole was that close to the 1930's swing and jive tradition.

I bin an fan von "med aona schwoazzn dintn".

I schliess mi aun. Unser fümfundzwanzigsts is next jahr.

I had some unexpected days off this week, so I had time to finish the next project: Lloyd McNeill Discography

Pacific Jazz released a considerable number of 7" 33rpm records, meant for DJs, or radio play, or juke boxes? The single Harold Land track with Jackie Davis seems to be a one shot affair. I cannot find any other tracks with about the same personnel or whatever. The two compilations, btw, have different edits of that same track - the one on the LP I just bought unfortunately is the shortened version. And yes, it would take someone like James Harrod to sort out all the different versions of tracks Richard Bock used on his compilations, and list the CD reissues they were added to as bonus tracks. Fresh Sound thought about some, Cuscuna used some, but both overlooked a few.

Vinyl afternoon and evening: If you how Jackie Davis plays the Hammond and enjoy it, you can buy this. If not ..... sound is excellent, and Irving Ashby and Milt Holland play tastefull accompaniment. iIf you dig Davis, you may fare better with either of the two double CD reissues, both sound good: Both include Jumpin' Jackie but otherwise do not overlap. Listen to some samples. If you like his organ style, which comes from Fats Waller and Milt Buckner and has almost nothing in common with the newer Jimmy Smith followers, then you will enjoy it. Otherwise, you will think it is corny.
