Finally I got me a copy of this Japanese reissue. But on first listen I think my Pacific Jazz LP sounds better. Will have to compare....

That was one of my first Mann LPs, pulled from a huge cutout bin in my late teens - loved it from the start. The live companion is The Wailing Dervishes Here is a festival video with oud player Chick Ganimian, among others:

This drummer/composer/educator may be not that familiar to US jazz fans, as he moved to Europe long ago - here is a nice documenary on his work: http://www.doughammond.org

Just fantasizing an album that never happened: Paper Mann - Herbie Mann plays Charles Tolliver feat. Roy Ayers

"Media" companies?

That's a very underrated album. Pat Rebillot's tune "Mauve Over Blues" is a timeless beauty.

Jim, you're mistaken - it's not "Paper Man" (that Mann recorded for the "Windows Opened" LP) - the tune is Tolliver's "The Ringer" which was on Ayers' first Atlantic LP "Virgo Vibes". Yes, they owe him some money, and they could have checked that out.

It rocks!

Wounded Bird CD reissue from 2000 - just noticed this sounds slightly different compared to the 1970 Embryo LP!

Well, I knew ... ,,, once saw a video of some Herbie Mann live performance where he played some mean cowbell. Can't remember the tune and can't find it on youtube, but found a 1967 video of Mann's band at Newport with Ayers, Reggie Workman, Bruno Carr, and guests Chick Ganimian on oud and master drummer Michael Olatunji - even Workman picks up a tambourine, Ayers some wooden agogo. Second half has Joao Gilberto's band. Herbie invented world music.

As it turns out I do have the book "Latin Jazz: The First of the Fusions" by John Storm Roberts - overlooked it as it was on a different shelf than the other two. The Cole album is mentioned in just one paragraph, without references. But the passage makes clear that he mixed up the 1946 shellac disc with the 1958 LP, in which Chocolate Armenteros may have participated, as Roberts got from "Latin music scholar René Lopez" - without giving a definite source.

I thought so - but I think I'd kick myself in case I'd missed it.

Same here. Reading this is a limited edition made me give in.

I'm sure it does, and I can wait - no B-anxiety here. As long as they don't start smashing foreign goods .....

2010 vintage

They are listed as unissued in the official Blue Note discography, not as rejected.

While checking the data for Wilson's sessions in Ruppli's Atlantic Discography I noticed that the Vault sessions before Ramblin' have master numbers in sequence with Atlantic sessions - the association between the labels must have been close.

Got the same notice ...

Anybody here ever heard this Blue Note 45? Who was Leon Eason? This was part of an otherwise unissued session: Leon Eason (tp,vcl) acc by Dottie Dudley (org) John Simmons (b) Ronnie Cole (d) Hackensack, N.J., May 17, 1959 tk.1 I'm in the mood for love Blue Note 45-1745 tk.3 I'm in the mood for love (unissued) tk.7 Because of you (alt) - tk.8 Because of you Blue Note 45-1746 (not released) tk.13 Song of the islands - tk.14 That's my home 45-1747 (not released) tk.18 I'm just a gigolo - tk.20 All of me (unissued) tk.23 Blueberry Hill - tk.24 Cape Cod - tk.31 Lazy river Blue Note 45-1745 tk.35 I'll never smile again (unissued) tk.37 Sweethearts on parade - This other 45 makes me think of some Babs Gonzales connection:

I had to correct my post above - I took the info fom the Lord Disco, but whoever copied the data from Michel Ruppli's Atlantic Discography misread the personnel note to the Lindy Opera House sessions, printed on a later page - Amy plays only on one track with the Wilson quartet with Ayers, 8124 Woody 'n' You. I got the Atlantic Disco from the library today to cross-check. Never trust Lord or discogs or anybody on the web without consulting the original sources!
