Right now I have no means to connect my computer to the HiFi. But it is on the list. To make sure one would have to compare all existing issues of a track. Sometimes they are just different edits, sometimes they are alternates. Some of the tracks on compilations are leftovers from LP sessions, like the Teddy Edwards with Hampton Hawes, which was made at a Jimmy Witherspoon session. Many labels did so, but Richard Bock was the wildest.

Looks like an example of Richard Bock's obsession with editing:

No - seems like they got stock of boxes from a pizza service that closed due to the pandemic. Box shows no signs of use with foodstuffs. The Amy/Bryant track here has the same duration as the one on the LP, so it may be identical. That said - those Pacific Jazz samplers are a pain in the ..., discographically. Edited versions, alternates - all without notice. Those two World Pacific compilations are erntirely different affairs.

Well, yes, but can he play trumpet? Quarter-tone, that is.

Just discovered this old thread - my discography of Paul Bryant might be helpful - his recording activity is all between 1960 and 1965 but all is interesting. The first revision is due, as I just found out by aural comparison that the the takes of This Is The Blues on the Pacific Jazz sampler with the same title and the LP The Blues Message are different! I am not surprised, as Richard Bock used unissued takes in most cases for his samplers.

Just unpacked a parcel from a Swiss discogs seller (they call themselves Vesuvio Records and used a pizza box for packing ....) as they had an affordable copy in good condition of a Pacific Jazz sampler I always wanted to have: It turns out the take of This Is The Blues on this sampler is different from the one on Amy/Bryant's The Blues Message LP and the Select. So Mosaic missed a take! (They also could have included the one track from a McCann session in the Select - this was reissued on the CD version of Les McCann in New York).

The recent releases on Cryptogramophone are all worth a listen.

He will never grow these sideburns.

RIP. It is great that he kept his inner jazz connection all the time. But I must admit that I never liked the Stones or listened to what he was playing on their records.

AFAIK from James Harrod's research, there is no audio or videotape from this show. At least Calliope did not issue music from this show. I have yet to hear the two Fantasy LPs and the one with Howard Roberts, but Like all the others a lot. The pairing with Griffin is special.

1984 Japanese issue. I haven't played this in years, and notice how many Coltrane licks Joe Henderson uses .....

French Musidisc pressing. The cover is a bit worn, but the disc is in fine condition.

That's a rare LP, with the Gonzalez brothers in the band. Will have to pull this out. I had breakfast with this here:

Yesterday I revisited this box set:

My latest discography on organist Paul Bryant, whom most may know from his recordings with Curtis Amy, is now online: https://jazzdiscography.com/paul-bryant-discography/ What do you think about his playing? I like it, or I wouldn't have compiled the disco. I love his blues and gospel touches that he always uses in unexpected ways with great dynamics. Here are the covers of all the LPs he was on:

I will open a thread about Paul Bryant in the artists forum.

JPC lists it at 46 Euros. I will have to pull out the 3 CD set and hear what the music does to me today.

He was a jazz drummer.
