FWIW, Lord lists take 5 as unissued and take 4 & 6 as being the ones on Cell Walk For Celeste. Are you certain that you hear three different takes? Then another take apparently has slipped out without it being known. Has happened before.

Very well done!

I believe it's because of demands from the estate of Richard Carpenter, the "composer" of the tune. Couldn't they just retitle it Sid's Ahead, or something? We may have talked about this before, but "Walkin'" was first recorded in 1950 by Gene Ammons under the title "Gravy" and (minimal though the line may be) is a Jimmy Mundy composition. It also has a predecessor in El Sino, recorded by Leo Parker in 1947 - with Ammons on tenor!

Well, speaking of Buddy Rich... and...

I thought Chicago school would be something like Bud Freeman -> Eddie Miller. There is also an interesting line going Don Byas -> Lucky Thompson -> Benny Golson. Early John Coltrane was clearly influenced by Dexter Gordon, but later Gordon showed an influence from Coltrane, which is quite interesting to hear. And, although Bird didn't record much on tenor, what exists is superior. It is particularly interesting to hear the 1953 Miles Davis session with both Parker and Rollins on tenor, and hear how similar Rollins sounded to Bird.

It was really composed by Eddie Vinson.

Lionel Hampton seemed to smile a lot. He also recorded Gay Notes in 1946.

The Clintons. Correct!

I have one for you. Who are these?
