Yes indeed! You know you've got too many records when you can only get albums like this one out once in a twelvemonth. Must play it soon. MG

Had to check my mailbox when I saw that. I've got one, too!!! MG

Art Hillery plays organ throughout on Plas Johnson - LA '55 - Carell Music MG

Since "To qualify -- said musician has to play ONE instrument on nearly the entire album," then I'm putting in Bill Easley - Wind inventions - Sunnyside Bill plays mostly clarinet on this one, with a little bit of alto sax and flute (but anyway, his main instrument was a tenor sax ) MG

I'm not sure, because it's the only one of his Kudu albums that I haven't got, but I think the reason I didn't buy it was because Grover Washington Jr played soprano all over "A secret place". MG

I've actually seen an album or two where Ray Charles plays alto sax--I believe for the entire album. I can't track down the info though right now. Edit to add that it was a tribute to Charlie Parker, iirc That's "Soul brothers", with Milt Jackson. Ray plays piano on most, if not all, tracks, but gets in some alto playing, too. And Milt gets in some piano playing, when Ray's on alto, and guitar playing. But they're both on their main instrument most of the time. But you've reminded me about Ray Charles - Genius + Soul = Jazz - Impulse Ray Charles - Genius + Soul = Jazz Live - Golden Age of Jazz Ray plays organ throughout these two albums. MG

Well! Thanks Bob! MG

No drummer mentioned on mine, either. But the CD sez J C Heard. MG

I've often regretted not getting those "Black California" albums. And once more to the regret shop today. MG

Well, bugger me! Greatly shamed at not recognising Pharoah. MG

Not sure an electric piano counts instead of an accoustic one. Well I'm sure . An electric-piano is as distinctive from an acoustic piano as a harpsichord or a clavichord ! If , like many others , Randy Weston had played electric-pianos for years then I wouldn't have cited him , but Blue Moses is noteworthy for being the only electric-piano album he's recorded . Kay.

Wynonie "Mr Blues" Harris - Rockin' the blues - Proper MG

Choice was a one man operation owned by Gerry McDonald. Gerry served as his own engineer and was a very nice guy. In the '50s Gerry worked for a tape recorder company (maybe Concord) and had one of the first stereo recorders on the West Coast. Dick Bock let him set up his machine at some PJ sessions to try it out. Years ago he told me he still had the tapes. He was very proud of his version of Hoagy Sings Carmichael and vowed to issue it some day. Thanks Chuck. How interesting that there is a completely different set of tapes for that session. MG

Nat Adderley - title track from "Blue autumn", on Theresa, with Sonny Fortune, Larry Willis, Walter Booker & Jimmy Cobb. Had the LP a long time, but the other day, this stopped me in my tracks (again ) Agree with Hot Ptah that Fortune is better as a sideman. MG

Bin lookin fer yeers, kid. No luck so far. MG

Events have shown that it was. Let me see... MG

Huh? MG Dark humor from a guy in Dallas. Abraham Zapruder is/was the guy who captured the John F. Kennedy assassination on film. Ah, thanks - I see it now. MG

If you're referring to LaShun Pace or Rev James Moore, have you heard the music? MG

Ah! Also Phil Upchurch made a number of disco sessions on bass. Best if they remain nameless MG

Not sure an electric piano counts instead of an accoustic one. What about electric or accoustic guitars? Or saxes? Or trumpets? Or basses? MG

Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis - 1951 session for Royal Roost featured Billy Taylor on organ. Two Roy Eldridge sessions, of 13 Feb and 23 April 1953 featured Oscar Peterson on organ. MG

Boncana Maiga - The best of Salsa - Melodie Jose "Chombo" Silva plays violin throughout. MG

There are about a million sessions on which Wilton Felder plays bass. MG
