bichos mentioned it on another thread, but I thought this amazing website should deserve a separate discussion. A real labour of love! BIRD LIVES...

Thanks for your input, Allen. Let´s hope someday the Eubie Blake Music LPs will be reissued on CD.

Looks like the Golden Reunion in Ragtime LP [stereoddities: C1900] recorded on 1962 by Eubie Blake, Joe Jordan and Charlie Thompson has been reissued on CD by Hapi Skratch (???) :

Eubie Blake playing "Charleston Rag" to be found here (1979): "10th Anniversary New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival" (Flying Fish):

Eubie Blake is included, leading a trio on "Maple Leaf Rag" and "Maryland, My Maryland", in this Jazzology release, "Jammin´ at Rudi´s", recorded on 1951.

There´s also Eubie Blake on CD, as an accompanist for Alberta Hunter:

Gracias, Fernando. There are also three tracks by Eubie Blake and his orchestra on this Frog CD, "Thumpin´ and bumpin´" [DGF11]:

To my knowledge, "The eighty-six years of Eubie Blake" (Columbia C2S847/22223) recorded December 1968-March 1969 [Eubie Blake, Piano solo] hasn´t made it to CD. Neither have made it any of the LPs he made for his own label, Eubie Blake Music: -Eubie Blake, Vol. 1 Featuring Ivan Harold Browning [Eubie Blake Music: EBM1], recorded 1971 by Eubie Blake and Ivan Harold Browning. -Rags to Classics [Eubie Blake Music: EBM2], recorded 1921 & 1971 by Eubie Blake. -Eubie Blake and his Friends Edith Wilson and Ivan Harold Browning [Eubie Blake Music: EBM 3] recorded 1971, performed by Eubie Blake, Edith Wilson and Ivan Harold Browning. -Sissle and Blake: Early Rare Recordings, Vol. 1 [Eubie Blake Music: EBM 4], recorded 1921- 1927 by Sissle and Blake. -Eubie Blake: Live Concert [Eubie Blake Music: EBM 5], recorded May 22, 1973 by Eubie Blake. -Eubie Blake Introducing Jim Hession [Eubie Blake Music: EBM 6], recorded 1974 by Eubie Blake and Jim Hession. -Sissle and Blake: Early Rare Recordings, Vol.. 2 [Eubie Blake Music: EBM 7], recorded 1919-1931 by Sissle and Blake. -Eubie Blake and his Protégés [Eubie Blake Music: EBM 8], recorded March 18, 1974, by Eubie Blake, Jim Hession, Mike Lipskin, and Terry Waldo -Eubie Blake Song Hits [Eubie Blake Music: EBM 9], recorded 1975 by Eubie and His Girls. Right?

Being such a giant, and with that amazingly long-lived career, the ammount of Eubie Blake´s music available on CD is embarrassingly scarce, IMHO. -We have that Biography CD with piano rolls, "Memories of you" later reissued by Shout! as -And the AIE release "That´s ragtime!", taken from a Stereodditty LP plus a two LP set intended for broadcast and never issued commercially: -And there´s some live Eubie Blake in this Chiaroscuro CD, "Jazz piano masters" (alongside Dill Jones, Teddy Wilson and Claude Hopkins): -"Tricky Fingers" on Quicksilver: And what more is on CD?

¡¡¡ FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, CHRIS !!!

...and -I´m never happy anymore was also included in The Per Husby Orchestra - Dedications (1985) [Affinity AFF136; Hot Club HCRCD21]

According to Lord´s discography, -Never been in love was also included in Wyatt Bull Ruther´s "Ruther IV" [Van-Los Music VLM3605] with Gerald Brashear (ts,cga). Frederico Cervantes (p,viola,tp) [aka Freddie Gambrell (p,viola,tp) ], Wyatt Ruther (b), Ron Floreno (d), recorded in North Vancouver, B.C., 1972 -there´s a song called Weekend in several albums (no indication if this is Dameron´s composition): *Walter Wanderley - Kee-Ka-roo (1968) In fact it´s an unissued take from this session *Tamba Trio/Four (1968) [A&M 3013] *Hiroko Kobuku (1992) [JVC VICJ127] *Marc Russo - The window (1993) [JVC 2035-2] *Lenny Andrade and the Fred Hersch Trio - Maiden Voyage (1993) [Chesky JD113] *Gilles Bernard - Mot (1997) [Efendi 005]

Thanks, Claude. That seems reasonable.

Thanks!

Curious to know who´s the pianist on track 7. Any more guesses?

I´m afraid your link doesn´t work, brownie.

A couple of Columbia 2005 reissues: -Woody Shaw - Stepping stones: Live at the Village Vanguard -Miles Davis - Live in Tokyo

Now this is stupid... otherwise, could someone explain it? Basie Clef/Verve box ---> ebay: 147 USD MosaicRecords website ---> 136 USD

Extracted from Mainspring Press website:

Wynton Marsalis - Black codes (from the underground) Columbia CD --> CK 40009 (1985) doesn´t list a seventh track (5:22), listed simply as "Blues" on all sources checked. Same on later reissues???

Here´s the cover of "West Coast Hot":
