Listening and comparing will be the only way to find out - I find the older tunes rather improbable for a 1959 Messengers bandbook.

Anyone know his favorite brand?

Check it here: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Blakey/chron.htm According to Michael Fitzgerald's listing there is a private recording from the two performances in Düsseldorf.

I, too, had my Monkish moment when I heard Jackie-Ing on the radio - the tune fascinated me so much I kept on singing it to myself so I wouldn't forget it. When I finally had access to the Riverside album it was from (Five By Monk By Five) - decades later when I got the Riverside Box - it was the first I put on to see whether I still remembered the tune correctly. I had been hooked on Monk by this tune.

This double CD on Acrobat gives a nice overview - I'd go for that one if I didn't own so many LPs. http://acrobatmusic.net/?cid=5&AlbumId=971 1 Haven't Named It Yet Lionel Hampton & His Orchestra 2 All on Lionel Hampton & His Orchestra 3 Double Trouble Blues Hot Lips Page Band 4 Ram Session Buck Ram's All Stars 5 You Need Coachin' Hot Lips Page 6 Shady Side Of The Street Rex Stewart & his Orchestra 7 The Man I Love Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 8 Hurricane Blues Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 9 The Major And Minor Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 10 Liza Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 11 That's The Groovy Thing Pt. 1 Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 12 Birmingham Boogie Hot Lips Page 13 Texas And Pacific Hot Lips Page 14 Let's Ball Tonight Pt. 1 Earl Bostic's Orchestra 15 Where Or When Earl Bostic's Orchestra 16 Cuttin' Out Earl Bostic's Orchestra 17 Hot Sauce Boss Earl Bostic Quartet 18 8.45 Stomp Earl Bostic Quartet 19 Artistry By Bostic Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 20 Apollo Theater Jump Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 21 Tiger Rag Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 22 Temptation Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 23 Watch Where You Walk Boy Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 24 From Midnight Till Dawn Earl Bostic & his Orchestra Disk 2: Track Title Artist 1 Earl's Imagination Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 2 Choppin' it Down Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 3 Serenade Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 4 Don't You Do It Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 5 Flamingo Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 6 Sleep Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 7 Moonglow Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 8 Ain't Misbehavin' Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 9 You Go To My Head Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 10 Cherokee Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 11 Steam Whistle Jump Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 12 Bostic's Boogie Blues (Smoke Rings) Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 13 Cracked Ice Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 14 Blue Skies Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 15 Liebestraum Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 16 Blue Moon Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 17 Harlem Nocturne Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 18 Stompin' at the Savoy Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 19 Special Delivery Stomp Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 20 Goodnight Sweetheart Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 21 Wee-Gee-Board Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 22 Up There In Orbit Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 23 Ducky Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 24 All The Things You Are Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 25 Jungle Drums Earl Bostic & his Orchestra 26 Where Or When Earl Bostic & his Orchestra But "Blows a Fuse" is great, too, the CD version on Charly can be found on amazon, here's a track list: Medium 1 Cherokee Two O'Clock Stomp Cuttin' Out Earl Blows A Fuse Disc Jockey Nightmare That's A Groovy Thing (parts 1 & 2) Don't You Do It Moonglow Seven Steps Steam Whistle Jump Flamingo Filibuster Who Snuck The Wine In The Gravy Mambostic 8:45 Stomp Sleep Harlem Nocturne Night Train Tuxedo Junction Special Delivery Stomp

Not an onion, but beetroot, if I'm not totally off course. Would explain the pun in the album title, too.

The one clarinettist that really caught my ear in recent years was Swiss Marcel Lüscher - but there are very few recordings he did ...

Same here, will check out Larry's recommendations.

Placing Pass and Groove on the cover certainly was an attempt to draw bigger sales - these sessions are probably a bit "jazzier" for the uninitiated. From the jazz police, Bostic mostly gest honorary mention for having Coltrane in his band and being a superior technician, but is labelled as too commercial by most. That CD introduced me to a different side of Bostic, as I had no idea he had recorded in an organ combo context, and I really love the stuff that Pass and Groove did together in California, no matter with whom. They were a great team.

This is great, Steve ....

Among my sister-in-law's record album (she had a job in a record shop for a few months) was an Earl Bostic 45 of Flamingo. Through the years I bought two or three LP compilations, his unmistakable alto style is part of the soundtrack of my teens. Most recent acquisition is this CD: Bostic in a 1963 organ combo with Groove Holmes and Joe Pass - definitely worth checking out.

Thanks all - reading your memories brings up some more of my own: - a TV documentary on the river Nile, which had an African teacher going to Southern Sudan playing Ray Charles' Hit TheRoad Jack on a cane flute - I happened to have a similar model and tried to play it myself ... - a TV live recording of German scat singer Willi Johanns with Jon Hendricks as a guest which lead to my ongoing fandom of scat vocals. - a TV broadcast of the Don Ellis Orchestra at Monterey - three bassists, three drummers, strange, exciting rhythms etc. - unforgettable.

I remember two or three instances when I heard some jazz that kind of got me hooked - the sound lingered in my mind, I wanted to know more, get more etc. There was an EP with the first four Prestige tracks of the Modern Jazz Quartet in my sister-in-law's collection - I put it on, didn't understand a note but was fascinated and listened to it again and again (and as a consequence, confiscated the record. I still have it.). https://www.discogs.com/de/The-Modern-Jazz-Quartet-All-The-Things-You-Are/release/3796575 Another track was the Atlantic recording of Equinox by John Coltrane which I heard at a party, which was an otherwise unpleasant experience for me, but that music haunted me. I'd be delighted to read similar experiences from other board members ...

Only the real greats can deal with such an unexpected, unfamiliar context, and she definitely could. It's amazing how different the albums are that McFarland wrote for O'Day, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, and Bill Evans, and they all responded and could keep their musical selves. Quite an achievement on both sides.

A pure Carinyena from Catalunya, 2015 vintage - very strong flavor. Am I the only wine connoisseur here?

I ordered a copy of the Sinatra with Norvo after reading about it earlier today!

That one is really worth seeking out - one of the most natural sounding live recordings I own. Excellent musicianship, too. A well -rehearsed, tight band.

You're going to Berlin?

Me neither - got it from jazz by post in Munich, Germany's leading jazz mail order shop of the day, who, btw. distributed the first ECM releases.

I remember I skipped it because I didn't approve of Keepnews' selection, either. Used copies of the Classics and Masters of Jazz CDs are pricey and the first covering the January 1939 Columbia session duplicate many tracks from the Decca sessions included in the Mosaic box. I'm close to getting the CBS 4 LP box once again ...

Not really. I also have all but a few tracks on the Dial box, and still I'm tempted. I probably will go for it when it runs low, like JSngry said.

Jon Hendricks? Annie Ross?
