NP: Earlier this evening: and Need to pull that one out and give it a spin. It's been a while. Thanks for the prompt.

I think so. Not certain.

Speaking of Hawk, there was some talk recently on the board about a thorough online Coleman Hawkins discography. (I can't seem to find the thread now.) In any case, a few days ago I stumbled across the documents below, which outline all of Hawkins' solos on record -- everything he recorded, not just his works as a leader. The author also offers notes and comments on each session. 1922 - 1939 1939 - 1949 1950 - 1959 Very helpful info, I think, for anyone who's digging into Hawkins' work. Incidentally, these documents are part of http://www.jazzarcheology.com, an interesting site with many other discographies. Enjoy.

I just picked up Louis' Complete RCA Victor Recordings for a few dollars at a local shop. It's the earlier (1997) release, as shown below: Unfortunately, the liner notes are missing. Can someone who has this set scan the liner notes and send the copy to me? If so, I'd be very grateful. Please message me if you can. Thanks.

Oh, I bet that does sound good. And I love that music too. Not having that particular recording, I'm going to give this Kubelik / Bavarian RSO version a spin:

Frank Foster - Swing! (Challenge) with Ted Dunbar, Mickey Tucker, Earl May, and Billy Hart

Dizzy Gillespie - Afro (Verve/Norgran, 1954) Chico O'Farrill's big band arrangements on this record are SO good. And Diz sounds inspired throughout!

Dave Burrell - Momentum (High Two) with Michael Formanek and Guillermo E. Brown

Thanks.

This looks interesting. I have Askenase's recordings of the Preludes, Op. 28 on a Heliodor LP. Very fine playing. But that's all I've heard from him.

Sphere - Flight Plan (Elektra Musician) A favorite of mine.

David Murray - Saxmen (Red Baron)

Yeah. NP:

NP: A pleasing coincidence: This record was made on my 2nd birthday. Earlier: and

Gene Ammons & Sonny Stitt - Together Again for the Last Time (Prestige)

Outstanding! NP: Sonny Stitt - Endgame Brilliance (32 Jazz) Originally released as Cobblestone LPs Constellation and Tune Up!
