Which would that be, I wonder? I have the Bohemia recordings on Progressive PRO-7001 (vinyl), and except for one VERY brief "The Peck" (which come up twice but which I cannot really consider a real tune) I cannot see any alternates. Otherwise, another George Wallington fan here. The Prestige recordings (as reissued on that twofer in the early 80s) are my favorites but everything else from that period comes very closely behind. The Progessive lp is supposed to contain alternatives to the Prestige Bohemia issue. Both are included on the Lonehill 2cd at the head of this topic.

Yes, another fine album. All the early Wallington albums are excellent, and he wrote some interesting pieces. I can't say I was very fond of the late solo recordings. Ive not heard them for a while but I recall that his touch was nice but to me they seemed overly romantic.

Me too.

Thanks for the reminder Bob. Spotted this in the Radio Times but it sliiped my mind. Did your hear the previous week's Kind of Blue programme with Guy Barker?

More than enjoyable. I love Wallington and I love the Bohemia session. And I like Art Taylor, he swings for me, rushing tempos or not. One comment though, the alternates ( I have the Progessive vinyl) don't add that much imo.

Good to see this great set available again. I still have the vinyl.

Lonehill issuued this on "Gerry Mulligan Sextet Complete Studio Recordings with Art Farmer, etc". They coupled it with "A Butterfly With Hiccups". It does have a bonus track, an orchestral 'The Lonely Nights' (Night Lights) from 1965. The tracks are in chronological order, not lp order. It's on LHJ 10222. It's probably not what you are after but it's an interesting issue.

Last on was vinyl, the Roulette recordings, quartet, the first with Tyner and the Ray Draper Quintet. Some nice melodic trane there.

51!, still a youngster. Happy Birthday kh.

Glad it's not just me - Blue John has always been oddly unsatisfying. But That Certain Feeling - yeah! And I thought it was only me! Nice sleeve note by Terry Martin.

John Patton; Blue John. Blue Note EMI Pathe Marconi DMM. Always found this an odd unpolished session. Now Patton again, That Certain Feeling. Blue Note, Blue and white Liberty. Much better!

Thanks for the reminder Bob, not had DP's big band out for quite a while. But playing "Now Hear This". (Blue and White Liberty). The uncredited vocalist is Andy Bey.

At a guess I'd say that better than 95% my collection is by US born or based musicians.

Belated birthday greetings, hope you had a good day.

Bobby Brookmeyer and his Orchestra. RCA (Fr) Jazzline (1956)

And another in Jazzwise

Fortunately Murray has slowed up on the new releases over the last few years.

I liked David Murray from the off in 1976. I've been collecting his stuff ever since. Next is Miles.

I have two by Lou Donaldson.
