Stereojack turned me onto this record many years ago. The CD reissue includes two bonus tracks recorded the night before.

Off the top of my head, I remember the "Pigmeat" Markham sides with Oliver Mesheux's Blue Six as not having been reissued by Mosaic. There also is some music that Blue Note licensed, perhaps from Vogue (?), and had included on some 10-inch LPs that were not reissued by Mosaic.

I'm fairly sure that I posted this a few months ago. Yep. See October 30, 2016. The reclining instrumentalists are easier to remember.

I already posted this one (see Dec. 23, 2015).

Yes, Carney did record on Blue Note. Two dates as a sideman. Edmond Hall Swingtet date on May 5, 1944 and the Jimmy Hamilton and the Duke's Men date on November 21, 1945.

Thanks for the additional information. IPO has put out some excellent Roland Hanna albums, and I keep hoping that there might be more to come.

In John Chilton's "The Song of the Hawk" there is some discussion on pages 384 and 385 concerning a 1969(?) recording that Hawkins had done with Roland Hanna, Eddie Locke, Buddy Catlett and Norris Turney. Chilton says "This session was speculatively organized by a friend of Roland Hanna's in the hope that a recording company would buy the tapes, but so far they remain unissued." Unfortunately, there are no footnotes or other information provided concerning this session.

Been posted before (by me). See December 13, 2015.

Looks familiar. Yep. You posted it yourself on September 14, 2016.

Fletcher Henderson recorded Stealin' Apples with his own band on March 26, 1936 and again on October 25, 1937. According to Walter Allen's "Hendersonia" these were described by Dick Vance as head arrangements. Allen has an extended discussion about Stealin' Apples. I'll provide some of it below: >>> This is another another 32-bar Fats Waller tune, which for some reason seems pretty much confined to the Henderson and Goodman bands, at least on recordings. Fletcher's great 1936 "Christopher Columbus" band made a fine recording for Vocalion, which simply consists of a piano intro and chorus (4 + 32 bars), and then successive choruses by Chu Berry tenor sax, and Roy Eldridge trumpet. Buster Bailey then blows for 24 bars, with the band riding out for the last 8 bars of this final chorus. Not really much of an "arrangement" at all; although credited to Fletcher Henderson in Driggs' Columbia LP booklet, Dick Vance says it was a "head." His 1937 recording ... is the identical routine (different soloists) except that the intro is by the band instead of by piano. This number never really became a Henderson arrangement until he did it for Goodman. The easiest known version is the July 8, 1939 Camel Caravan broadcast, and may be taken as the prototype. >>> Allen then provides information on 15 different versions by Goodman.

Harumph notwithstanding, the music is really exceptional.

I agree. Evans solos on clarinet on the original studio version of Jumpin' at the Woodside. Lester has some nice, long clarinet solos on the two versions of Texas Shuffle.

Belated birthday greetings David!

Volume 2 is out. Just listening to it now. Life is good!

Duplicate. See Dec. 19, 2015. Duplicate. See Nov. 30, 2015.

Duplicate from last December. We had a slew of Turtles covers in this thread back then.

This one comes to mind:

Ouch! That looks painful!
