Recordings of the majority of these European concerts were part of the contracts for musicians appearances. Most of them were legally broadcast. As a citizen of a country which is a member of the European Union where the copyright limit is 50 years, I do not have any second thoughts about acquiring these recordings. Another recent thread about the Lost Quintet.

Starting to read 'Charles Delaunay et le Jazz en France dans les Années 30 et 40' by Anne Legrand which came out last week. A well documented book on the fascinating figure that was Delaunay. The book was published after Anne Legrand's thesis that won her a ph.d. at the Sorbonne University. Looks excellent right from the start!

This Nat Simpkins seems to be her only recording for Muse

Lee Konitz 'Jazz A Confronto' (Horo) with Dave Cliff, Peter Ind, Al Levitt

The usually reliable Michael Fitzgerald Jazz Discography also has 1972 as recording date for 'Motivation'.

That is sad! Always liked the Soul Sisters album.

I am not really sure there are two versions of 'Bones for Zoot' even if the current online Lord Discography list the two versions of 'Bones for Zoot'. Neither includes a vocal by Annie Ross. There is a Japanese CD reissue of 'A Gasser' - with bonus tracks - that has an instrumental 'Bones for Zoot'.

Jimmy Jones was famous as a singer accompanist. Beside his celebrated work with Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald, he also took a major part in two of Helen Merrill's best albums, the EmArcy one with Clifford Brown and the MetroJazz session (with Kenny Dorham) 'You've Got a Date with the Blues'.

As soon as the Lonehill people lay hands on a copy of 'Motivation'

'Motivation' is an album I have been wanting to listen to for years. Have never run into a copy of it. No indication that it was ever reissued!

A favorite musician. Much too discreet. There are so many great albums where he plays an important part. I have a special regard for his contributions to some of the best Sonny Stitt recordings: 'New York Jazz', 'A Little Bit of Stitt', 'Stittsville', among others, not to mention the albums with Sarah Vaughan (the sides with Clifford Brown and 'Swingin' Easy' ...) Joe wrote: Jones recorded a handful of trio sides with Joe Benjamin and Roy Haynes in the mid-50's. I have them on a CD, paired with a George Wallington "European" trio of similar vintage. Not sure of the original circumstances of their recording (Vogue?), but excellent stuff. These were recorded for Swing/Vogue in Paris in 1954 when Jimmy Jones was part of the trio which backed Sarah Vaughan when she made an appearance here.

Lon, I just hope you're right!

and many more!

Does this mean this is the end of the Storyville DETS reissues?

Hank Mobley's swan song. This version should have retained Josef Kosma and Jacques Prévert's original title in french 'Les Feuilles Mortes' (Dead Leaves).
