Roach recorded only two LPs as a leader for the label, and no sideman dates!

Tonight's bedtime discs:

I confirmed quite a few errors with that method during my research for the Cal Tjader Discography. Tracks that were attributed to the wrong sessions, mistitled, that were different takes on various issues. etc- Everything is possible, including takes listed somewhere that probably never existed. But Lord or whoever supports him with data, or the authors of label discographies, never can have listened to every existing issue, simply too much for a complete overview jazz discography. That is for the specialists. Basic rules are: 1. always consult a second independent source and 2. Listen to it yourself, whenever possible. E.G. I once got me a shellac record at an auction, had it transferred to digital, and in the studio during playback it turned out Tjader doesn't even play on it! Further investigation got me a tape from a fellow forum member that confirmed the 78 I had was a reissue of an earlier issue from a different session without Tjader. You never know until you listened yourself.

That Blue Note twofer was my intoduction to Herbie, IIRC. But I replaced it with the CD reissues of single albums and then the Blue Note box set.

Wise decision. The only way to confirm would be to get both issues, listen and compare.

Today's good night music:

Haha ...... get it from the label, they offer two cd promotional packages of new releases: https://encelade.net/index.php/en/hikashop-menu-for-products-listing-2/product/26104-marin-marais

Brand new release. Extremely beautiful playing, the perfect introduction to this composer's work,

So I guess I am lucky to have bought an original size facsimile reprint in th 1970's. The (very small) publishing company even offered single leaf facsimiles for framing of which I bought two that have been on my bedroom wall ever since. He was an enlightened man. Just got a free ticket for this tomorrow: https://www.staedelmuseum.de/en/holbein

The Avengers never left my memory after I once heard it. R.I.P.

Anyone heard of him?

The weekend bottle: Le Mas des Flauzières, Cuvée Julien, Séguret Côtes du Rhône Villages AOP, 2018

I would certainly like to hear that! As soon as I have renewed my Frankfurt library card I will consult the Verve discography.

Thanks for posting that link. They added the bonus tracks in a different oder and to different albums than the reissues I have. The single edits are not different takes, just edits. Maybe they now have better discographical info, which would explain their changes in bonus track order. Being a big Nina fan, I'm tempted. German retailers list it at € 64 to 70.

I have the seven single CDs that EMI/Parlophone issued in 2005, all with bonus tracks, remastered, and new liner notes. Folksy Nina was included on the Carnegie Hall CD as they come from the same session. I want to read track lists before I go for this new box. The tracks on my seven CDs add up to 107 also, so I don't expect new material.

As I said, Jungla is a 6/8 part. My guess is the studio staff mesed up when naming a re-take. "Okay, let's do another take of the 6/8." Which is the part titled Jungla. The Verve discography is full of such items.

My mistake, of course it is a different system.

The two versions from the Afro Cuban Suites have different master numbers. A "Finale" is the last part, always - O'Farrill's other suites always have the 6/8 part somewhere in the middle. A corrected track list would be: Manteca Theme Contraste - Bolero-Son Jungla - 6/8 Rhumba - Finale As I said, the "6/8" may just have been misplaced in the layout.
