    Great pick.

    Iverson's list has some gems but good lord it's maddening to read his articles. Anyway, he was spot on with the selection of Ellington's Piano Reflections and many others. The article's selections and the ones listed here will be fun to explore.

    Ah, good to know. I've heard so many versions of this tune but never knew exactly who did it first. I think that Crew Cuts version was used in the movie Road House as well. And spot on that being a Jamaican cover. Alton Ellis is a legendary singer there and his covers of American doo wop and soul are always worth a listen.

    Were the Chords the original? I've always loved this version from Alton Ellis:

    Didn't know Endea Owens was from Detroit. This looks fantastic. Congrats on the project!

    I've never studied that cover art before but noticed it also doesn't appear to use that law of thirds that Miles used for his designs. The pic of Larry himself is great though.

    Honestly a lot of them look fascinating. I picked up the Dorham and the In With The In Crowd books.

    The Ellington and James Johnson books look intriguing as well. I thought I saw 2 books on Duke but it was just one. Edit to correct again: there are 2 Ellington books. The second is Jack Chambers Tone Parallel.

    For sure. I'm of the opinion that one can't truly get an accurate history of anything in the US without accounting for organized crime syndicate involvement.

    Love that record and if there's any real complaint from me about these Black Jazz releases is that they're EPs instead of LPs. Kind of like that Sonny Fortune/Stan Hunter Trip On the Strip record.

    There are some titles there that I really like. But I've been shifting to downloads for the most part due to space issues. I think the concepts of the Tone Poet and Classic series are great, and I hope they continue doing them. Helluva legacy from this label.

    J Jazz collection from BBE.

    In the video he's playing a keyboard perched atop the B3 correct and it looks/sounds like a Rhodes - correct? Was this a common set up for Larry?

    Thanks for putting this all together and starting the thread. Definitely will explore this bc I'm not familiar with much of Stitt's work in collaboration with the organ.
