Here's a more accurate and detailed discography of Sam Jones' dates as a leader: https://jazzdiscography.com/Leaders/sam-jones-discography.php Does any board member happen to own the one 45 rpm single Riverside has released? If so, please contact me - I would like to compare to the LP takes to find out whether these are alternates or edited takes. d. XY-160sv Thumbstring(Ray Brown) / arr: Ernie Wilkins - 3:41 Riverside 45RF-45477 — Sam Jones Orchestra e. XY-159sv Unit 7(Samuel Jones) / arr: Ernie Wilkins - 3:51 Riverside 45RF-45477 — Sam Jones Orchestra

My latest finished project is a discography of bassist Sam Jones' dates as a leader: https://jazzdiscography.com/Leaders/sam-jones-discography.php

Even Tjader did them. A great songwriter.

Excellent and brand new recording!

👍

Ah, the sleuthing gang at work, successfully.

Definitely not .....

Sorry, no. You are all thinking of trumpet players. Let me say it was not his main instrument .....

Thanks for the nice comments. The tune of # 1 has already been identified, the Montgomery Brothers had recorded it, too. The pianist of # 2 is inded Rowles. You never heard him sing? The vibist of the last track is not a giveaway. For the rest, enjoy reading the others' comments.

Not Drew and NHÖP, but both well known players, one of them lived in Sandinavia, too, for several years. Doesn't anybody recognize the tune?

C'mon folks, there is more about this BFT than the one mystery trumpet track. In contemporary terms l sould have said it was an independent label, btw.

None of the trumpet players or labels mentioned.

It was released on one of the major jazz labels of its time. And yes, it's a perfect BFT item, obviously.

Valerio Losito has the sweetest tone of all baroque violinists!

Great cover!

They will be playing here on February 22 - l just bought the tickets!

Pulled this from the shelf, inspired by this thread. It's all very nice, but somehow this does not grab my attention as e.g. the Bob Brookmeyer Select.

I will wait until I give a hint - or maybe I won't 😛 Yep. Well, yes, and no.

This is the only reissue including the Parrot 78's!
