Ken, I guess you are referring to: http://fatswaller.org/fatscd.html Jim: In any case, there are plenty of Fats Waller broadcasts and airchecks out of the JSP collection, plus several private recordings, as well as some alternative takes from commercial recordings. So, being a Fats Waller completist is not that easy.

This 2016 CD, produced by his mate and stride master Louis Mazetier and issued by French label Black&Blue, is a very relevant addition to François Rilhac's very reduced output as a leader: only four commercial albums released under his name. On top of that, we have his contribution to discs by clarinetist Maxime Saury, Joel Lacroix Jazz Orch, Jean Loup Longnon Big Band, Marcel Zanini's groups, Buster Benton, Bert De Kort & his Dutch Dixieland Pipers and Gilbert Leroux Washboard groups, with some piano solo features.

Well, this pretty much covers the commercial discs released under Rilhac's name. Then we have his contribution to discs by clarinetist Maxime Saury, Joel Lacroix Jazz Orch, Jean Loup Longnon Big Band, Marcel Zanini's groups, Buster Benton, Bert De Kort & his Dutch Dixieland Pipers and Gilbert Leroux Washboard groups, with some piano solo features.

Still Rilhac time! Stridin' along my keyboard at the office!

What f*****g genius! Gone way too soon in tragic circumstances... This 2016 CD, produced by his mate and stride master Louis Mazetier, is a very relevant addition to his very reduced output as a leader.

More Dex, now pianoless:

You're probably referring to Dexter Gordon - The Tower Of Power! (Prestige PR 7623), the companion disc to Dexter Gordon - More Power! (Prestige PR 7680), which also includes one track with Moody. Both discs stem from the April 2&4, 1969 sessions.

Excelent research, thanks for the link, bertrand! I would have expected Mike to post it on his main page at www.jazzdiscography.com. Maybe he is reshaping and restructuring all his different discographical projects.
