Looks like this thread is getting off track. The original question referred to BN Doubletime CDs. A specific series. Morganized posted an image of the real thing on his post #7. Others that have been mentioned are plain double (or triple) BN CDs. Not Doubletime ones!

The Complete Pacific Jazz Live Chet Baker, vinyl disc 3

Great story! Great writing! Thanks for posting it!

From AP:

June 12: 1947 - Wardell Gray/Dexter Gordon Quintet (Jimmy Bunn, Red Callender, Chuck Thompson) record session for Dial ('The Chase') 1953 - Chet Baker/Stan Getz Quartet (Carson Smith, Larry Bunker) perform at the Haig, released on PacificJazz (West Coast Live) 1956 (also June 19) - Mundell Lowe (Joe Wilder, Trigger Alpert, Ed Shaughnessy, etc...) record session for Riverside (The New Music of Alec Wilder) 1961 - Don Friedman Trio (Chuck Israels, Joe Hunt) record session for Riverside (A Day In the City) 1962 (also June 13) - Herb Ellis (Buddy Tate, Ray Bryant, Gus Johnson, etc...) record session for Epic (The Midnight Roll) 1964 - Grant Green (James Spaulding, Joe Henderson, Duke Pearson, etc...) record session for BN (Solid) 1970 - Lou Donaldson (Blue Mitchell, Ted Dunbar, etc...) record session for BN (Pretty Things) 1993 (also June 13) - Jackie McLean (Cedar Walton, David Williams, Billy Higgins) record session for Somethin' Else/BN

Pretty sure the answer is No! Wasn't Art Blakey's Orgy in Rhythm released as one of those doubletime CD?

Damn right I have edited the typo in my earlier post. Adding a couple of June 11 sessions: 1928 - Jimmy Blythe 'The Dixie Four' (Buddy Bur ton, Bill Johnson, Clifford Jones) record session for Paramount 1987 (and June 12)- Freddie Hubbard-Woody Shaw Sextet (Kenny Garrett, Mulgrew Miller,Ray Drummond, Carl Allen) record session for BN (The Eternal Triangle)

Roland Kirk 'Left and Right' (Atlantic)

Neveronsaturday, if you sill looking for that Jazz In Paris sampler CD/Catalogue, PM me

France produced the music and the boxes. It took the Germans to provide the essential information! There seems to be hope for Europe, still

It took sixty years for the music to be heard outside of Town Hall and to become an Instant Classic! The wait was really worth it!

Latest opus from Eric Watson with his current group: http://www.actmusic.com/act9429_e.htm Have not heard that one yet!

June 11: 1940 - Benny Goodman sextet (Charlie Christian, Lionel Hampton, etc...) record for WBC, released by CXolumbia ('Six Appeal', 'Good Enough to Keep', etc...) 1953 - Tadd Dameron (Clifford Brown, Gigi Gryce, Benny Golson, Philly Joe Jones) record session for Prestige 1955 - Lennie Tristano (Lee Konitz, Gene Ramey, Art Taylor) perform at the Sing Song room of the Confucius Restaurant, released by Atlantic (Tristano) 1956 (also June 12) - Oscar Pettiford and his Orchestra (Art Farmer, Ernie Royal, Jimmy Cleveland, Gigi Gryce, Lucky Thompson, etc..) record session for ABC-Paramount (The Oscar Pettiford Orchestra in Hi Fi) 1957 - Sonny Rollins (Sonny Clark, Percy Heath, Roy Haynes) record session for Riverside (The Sound of Sonny) 1963 (also June 12) - Roland Kirk Quartet with the Benny Golson Orchestra (Richard Williams, Don Butterfield, Harold Mabern, etc...) record session for Mercury (The Roland Kirk Quartet Meets the Benny Golson Orchestra) 1964 - Jacques Dieval (Donald Byrd, Eric Dolphy, Nathan Davis, etc...) perform in Paris, released as Eric Dolphy 'Unrealized Tapes' (Westwind) 1980 (thru June 13) - Bill Dixon (Steve Horenstein, Alan Silva, Freddie Waits, etc...) record session for Soul Note (Bill Dixon in Italy) 1996 - Richard Galliano (Birelli Lagrene, George Mraz, Al Foster) record session for Dreyfus (New York Tango)

Can somebody explain why this Ayler/Cherry Vibrations CD which was in thousands of bins over the last few years is being sought by so many people, some of them willing to pay $200 for it? Sound on this reissue is not that great. Sound on the original vinyl beats the CD by a mile!

Watson - who has been living in Paris for a long time now - has also recorded the highly recommended opus 'Your Tonight Is My Tomorrow' for Owl with Steve Lacy, Jean-Paul Celea on bass and Aaron Scott on drums. 1987 session. Got this on vinyl but I think it's also available on CD. Can't compare with the Mingus tribute which I never heard!

Mezz Mezzrow Memorial - Theatre des Champs-Elysees 6 Mars 1953 (Vogue) This double LP was issued in 1972 after Mezzrow died in Paris. Mezzrow's fellow musicians included Buck Clayton, Russell 'Big Chief' Moore, Gene Sedric on tenor - and dueling with Mess on clarinet on one tune - Red Richard and Kansas Fields. Don't thing this pleasant concert was ever reissued.

Never, welcome to the zoo

Rosco, thanks for looking that up in all the right places! Your contribution welcomed! And welcome to you on this Board!

Same album - and same six tunes - except mine is on vinyl! The logo on the right hand corner of the cover of that Iturralde/Hawes is definetely Blue Note! The vinyl I have has the same cover (with a 'Hispavox Special Edition for Fresh Sound Records' logo instead of the BN one)! Interesting Fresh Sound/BN connection

BELLS by Albert Ayler! And the neighbors 'ld better shut up

Couw posted (# 55) a link to that CD plus catalogue. The booklet was CD sized. I stopped writing on catalogues several years ago when I went back to old BN catalogues from the Lion/Wolff era and a Saturn brochure and found all my added notes on them! I keep the new items pristine nowadays!

Spanish BN? I have that Iturralde/Hawes meeting on Hispavox/Fresh Sound vinyl, a February 1968 date. BN issued that too?!?
