I think this CD release (2006) went unnoticed: Art Tatum and Herman Chittison - The remarkable art of Tatum - Tea for two (Audiophile) This issue combines two World Transcription sessions. The Tatum session (11 tracks), under Milt Gabler's supervision, was recorded on January 5, 1944 by the Art Tatum trio with Tiny Grimes and Slam Stewart and was previously issued in an Audiophile LP under the name of "The remarkable Art of Tatum" (AP-88) with less than 27 minutes.

The original "Swingin' With Pee Wee" LP is one of my desert island discs (geez, I love what he does on "Englewood"), and "Portrait Of Pee Wee" is also a very remarkable date. On both dates he shows he was much more a complete musician than the dixieland-type he was ordinarily considered, and that in fact he was much more comfortable with flexible and "modern" rhythm sessions, faraway from the steady rhythm of trad jazz drummers.

I'd also love to see his two Honey Dew discs ("Gumbo" and "Hot Licorice", both from 1964) reissued on CD. These two discs come from a pickup date in 1964, where he jams on dixieland numbers with several local musicians from New England.

The one on Columbia is titled New Groove and was reissued on Collectables. The Impulse! is Ask Me Now! I really love the one he did with Henry "Red" Allen: The College Concert of Pee Wee Russell and Henry "Red" Allen which is also on Impulse! and shamefully never reissued on CD to the best of my knowledge. Thanks for this information, jazztrain, I'll be doing some research into tracking this down. Any help on where to find (on-line) a copy of that Japanese CD reissue of "The College Concert" CD? I'd love to have that disc!

I finally ordered it through amazon marketplace, for less than 7 EUR. Eagerly waiting to listen to some "fresh" Pee Wee!

Anyway, I will get it, since I don't have the original CD issue.

Got the Laubich/Spencer many moons ago. It's a very thorough work... though please note it dates from 1982, and hence it's not updated anymore. A couple of years ago I took the time to cross-check it with the discographical information from the Live Tatum series from Storyville, and IIRC there was some material not listed in Laubich/Spencer. And no CD listings, of course. You still can find it reasonably priced second-hand in some internet stores: Bookfinder search No online discography, to my knowledge. And I am with brownie regarding the possible new remastering for the Solo Masterpieces boxed set. I bet no new remastering has been used.

Thanks for that "advance review", Pete.

Here's a Hank Jones Discography hosted at AAJ: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/musician_d...phy.php?id=8166 It's a disc-oriented project (as opposed to session-oriented), listing 492 discs so far. Additions, corrections, comments... can be addressed to this Hank Jones thread at AAJBB.

Last friday I bought a bunch of recent RVG's for 7.95 EUR apiece: -Ike Quebec - Bossa Nova Soul Samba -Baby Face Willette - Face to face -Walter Davis Jr. - Davis Cup -Lou Donaldson - Gravy train -Thad Jones - The magnificent Thad Jones -Duke Jordan - Flight to Jordan

Yep, I'm afraid this looks like their new "recycling our catalogue" policy again (as with the Duke Box).

Thanks for the info, brownie. Has anyone cared to compare the tracklist from this box set with what was previously available from Storyville and/or other labels?

Discs received. Thanks! Best regards, Agustín

Excuse me but besides "Ben encounters Hawk" ... you mean "Coleman Hawkins and Confrères" or "Ben Webster and Associates"?

I didn't know that was still available. Where did you get it? MG Second hand, from a member of this board...

There were two volumes of a thorough Coleman Hawkins discography published several years ago. Compiled by Jean-François Villetard. The third volume never did make it, as far as I know... To my knowledge, Chris Sheridan was working on a Coleman Hawkins bio-discography (remember his great work on Monk and Basie!), but I have no idea of the stage this project is in.

At first I thought you might be referring to the Bayou club recordings, but I see from the literature that Roy and Hawk recorded with Joe Jones ( not Philly Joe) in Buenos Aires June 16 1961. Body and Soul was one of the tunes. These are aparently part of a West Wind CD entitled Jazz Festival in Latin America.. there were 6 tracks, Body was a feature for Hawk, The Man I love for Roy. Love for sale a trio for Tommy Flanagan. The rest of the Cd was by other artists. This may be what you have or some bootlegged verion of it. PD: Okay, I have to ask: did you just KNOW that? I went home and dug up the disc, and that seems to be pretty close. "West Wind 2018" is printed on the disc and there's a little blurb indicating "Rec. at American Jazz Festival in Latin America, 16 Juli 1961 at Teatro Municipale, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil." According to the track listing: 1. Rifftide: Hawkins, Eldridge, Flanagan, Abdul Malik, Jones (Jo, not Philly Joe) 2. The Man I love: Eldridge, Flanagan, Abdul Malik, Jones 3. Body and Soul: same as 1 4. Love for sale: Flanagan, Abdul Malik, Jones 5. Caravan: same as 1, but essentially a 6-minute Jones drum solo 6. Love come back to me: same as 1 The sound is okay, the playing is very enthusiastic, the uncredited liner notes are somewhat surreal. Some blah blah blah, then they end with "Later in his career, bearded like the prophet he was, Hawkins continued handing down his huge-toned jazz commandments until in 1969, ominously taciturn and worn thin from a permanent diet of lentil soup and brandy, he died." From their catalog numbers, and after checking the Jazz Records Label Listings project , I am afraid these are different discs. Here's the cover for West Wind 2018:

(hey, you still there?) was referring to, many moons ago: The Jazz Festivals In Latin America (West Wind 2062) Found used copies for around $60.00 at amazon, but skipped them!

Thanks for all the work and the time your investing. It's gotten to be a fantastic resource that I have consulted many times! Thanks for the kind words. The update is now online at http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Montoliu/. All the best Agustín

Do any of those books include any picture from March 12 & 13 at the Windsor Cinema, Barcelona?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot, Stereojack. So this Barney Wilen dissertation is wrong, as it lists two tracks from that concert in the Europa LP (Indiana & Now's the time) [see page 111] and this Stan Getz online discography is right. Are there liner notes in the Europa LP? If so, do they mention if "Indiana" was recorded at a "regular concert" from the Festival or at a mammoth jam session that took place the last day of the festival (and that also included Dizzy Gillespie and Tete Montoliu)?
