The Lord Disco has Galbraith playing on more than 600 sessions, but most of it is orchestral or backing singers - George Russell and Hal McKusick were the only real progressive things he did. playing rhythm guitar for other guitarists was another speciality. He started with Claude Thornhill in 1941. He must have been an excellent reader, adaptable to what we now call mainstream of any kind, as a rhythm player and obligatos when required. There is half a two-guitar album with Kenny Burrell on Prestige. As it was never completed the three tracks ended up on a Guitar Soul compilation or a Best of Kenny Burrell LP. This one shows Galbraith the bopper. Both LPs have all three tracks.

Many jazz players knew some on the piano. Cal Tjader played quite a bit on this album: Milt Jackson, did, too.

FWIW - "Guitar and the Wind" was included as a bonus album on the Lonehill CD reissue of "Oscar Pettiford's The Manhattan Jazz Septette" Just placed it on the listening pile. Just saw this CD goes for ridiculous prices on amazon.

No idea. It has to be confirmed that Billy, Willy, and Willie Gardner all are the same person.

As I said the book is due later this month. Until then .... I could ask Wayne Enstice about it. I will direct him to this page.

Disc 2 of this today and another new acqusition: Except for the Balbastre pieces, rarely heard music, and a good essay by Hollick on the situation of organists during that time in France. Best ordered form the label directly: https://www.rvrcd.com/shop/revolution-douglas-hollick-rvrcd71/

Wayne Enstice just informed me that the memoirs od drummer/singer Dottie Dodgion will be published by the end of March, 2021. From what he told me it will be an interesting book to read. https://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/catalog/32cqa5sk9780252043598.html

Excellent playing on a beautiful sounding and well recorded instrument, and a highly original program beyond the simple downplaying of Ordres. Recommended.

Herbie Mann is on this, uncredited for contractual reasons. He was allowed to record one album in two years on other labels than Atlantic, but did more, of course. There`s a note found on discogs: " The identity of "The Fluteman" remains in question. While Herbie Mann has confirmed to researcher Dan Skea that he appears on this record, producer Creed Taylor has also informed this researcher that Hubert Laws is the mysterious flautist. Given the aural evidence, it is possible that both appear under this title." And I wonder if that "Henry Watts" credited for playing vibes actually was Roy Ayers - no other recordings by that guy to be found. This and Herbie's A & M LP would have made a nice twofer CD.

Excellent, and the only complete recording of one suite of this underrated composer.

Hi all, to further progress my work on a discography of Tito Puente's RCA years I need a copy of the second volume of the "progressive side" CDs: I can't find any used copies on the web. If you can point me to one or send me a CDr of it (I have found the paperwork on discogs) I would be grateful. I need to listen to that one outtake that was not released anywhere else. Thanks!

Some new acquisitions this afternoon: Excellent playing on both. A complete recording of Storace's print, at last.

The remastering on the opening piano solos is better than any other I have heard so far.

Yesterday, while starting to read Carlos Santana's memoirs:

Yesterday and today:

That one is on my eternal wish list.

Nothing in the Lord Disco that qualifies for this purpose.

The Davis Trio tracks are marked "rejected" in the Lord Disco, as is "Paper Moon" from the nexr part with Hubbard, Fuller, & Griffin. There are four marked "unissued" and one more "rejected".
