There is also this one:

featuring Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins and Budd Johnson

What are the (different) tracklists on these albums? As far as I see these are just two different editions of the same album.
1. Squatty Roo
2. Tribute to Louis Armstrong: When It's Sleepy Time Down South/Confe ...
3. Them There Eyes
4. It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)
That is the one I recommended.

I'm glad I bought any of the JPJ Quartet LPs when I spotted one of them - a very underrated band, playing excellently and not simply a retro swing group, much more than that. These guys were playing!
Same for any Hines Quartet recordings with Johnson.
The complete(?) JPJ Quartet recordings (studio and live) have been (re)issued on Storyville.

Budd Johnson can be heard to good advantage on Benny Carter's "Live And Well In Japan", a Pablo album of a 1977 live concert featuring (besides Carter and Johnson) Joe Newman, Cat Anderson, Britt Woodman, Cecil Payne, Nat Pierce, Mundell Lowe, George Duvivier and Harold Jones.
I see two albums with that title and different tracklists - can someone explain ...

Another fine album is "Blues A La Mode" on Felsted, that can be obtained as part of the Complete Felsted box sets by Solar or Fresh Sound respectively (the session is also on a Lonehill reissue called "The Stanley Dance Sessions").

Listen to the sound of Paul Chambers on the two Contemporary LPs by Art Pepper (A.P. Meets The Rhythm Section & Gettin' Together) and then any RVG recording of Chambers - Du Nann and Holzer were head and shoulders above RVG, sound-wise, IMHO.
Yes, absolutely right!
-
Yes. It is a live recording of the Quintet with Jimmy Deuchar, Terry Shannon, Freddy Logan and Allan Ganley. Sound quality is very good and the music is great!

I am very happy to have found a copy of the 8 cd Mosaic box set "Classic Columbia Condon Mob Sessions", everything (box, booklet, discs) in excellent condition, for $172 (shipping incl.) through an amazon dealer (the current exchange rate of $1 = 0,8 Swiss Francs making this a good deal).

Kenny Washington once wrote about Nash in some liner notes that he had the best time of all the drummers of their generation.
I am approving this statement without reservation. Nash is one of the hardest swinging drummers extant. For me, if Lewis Nash is the drummer, be it a big band, a combo or a piano trio, it is a guarantee of a tight, swingin' rhythm section. Here are some albums I have with Nash on drums (all of them are highly enjoyable recordings):
Brian Lynch: Back Room Blues
Benny Green: In This Direction
Steve Kuhn: Looking Back
Tommy Flanagan: Beyond The Bluebird
Lew Tabackin: I'll Be Seeing You
Jimmy Heath: Little Man, Big Band
Mike LeDonne: Soulmates
Clark Terry: What A Wonderful World
Tommy Flanagan: Let's
Tommy Flanagan: Lady Be Good... For Ella
Lew Tabackin: What A Little Moonlight Can Do
Clark Terry: Portraits
Rob Schneiderman: Dark Blue
Bill Mays: Ellington Affair
Larry Willis: How Do You Keep The Music Playing?
Oscar Peterson: Meets Roy Hargrove And Ralph Moore
Scott Hamilton: After Hours
Tommy Flanagan: Sea Changes
Kenny Drew: Falling Leaves
John Lewis: Evolution II
Classical Jazz Quartet: Plays Bach
Ray Brown: Walk On
Don Friedman: Waltz For Debby
Gerald Wilson: New York Sound
Don Friedman: My Favorite Things
Roland Hanna: Milano, Paris, New York: Finding John Lewis
Gerald Wilson: In My Time
Helen Sung: Helenistique
Classical Jazz Quartet: Plays Tchaikovsky
Ted Rosenthal: The King And I
Gerald Wilson: Monterey Moods
Helen Sung: (Re)Conception

This one is highly recommended too:
"The Last Time I Saw Paris" on the Venus label with George Mraz and Leroy Williams

I am currently listening to "Get Happy" on the Concord label. Sandke performs tunes by Monk, Mingus, Miles Davis, Ellington as well as standards by Arlen, Berlin, Donaldson with a great line-up of Ken Peplowsky (ts, cl) Robert Trowers (tb) Kenny Barron (p) John Goldsby (b) and Terry Clarke (dms). Recommended!

I am just listening to a very satisfying album by Jimmy Maxwell on the Progressive label by the title of "Let's fall in love". This is top notch mainstream jazz, nicely arranged by David Berger. Budd Johnson has some great spots on tenor sax and - in one case - on clarinet. The rest of the personnel apart from Maxwell on trumpet and Johnson are: Dave Berger (tp, arr) Art Baron (tb) Kenny Berger (bars) John Bunch (p) George Duvivier (b) Ronnie Bedford (dms)

Ordering CDs sounds like a colossal hassle. No credit cards? Pay by check up front not even knowing if the disc(s) are available? Getting a rebate check if 50% or more of the order is available otherwise having to be contacted to see how you want to proceed. Four weeks turn-around time? I'd have to be very desperate for a disc to even consider buying off the web site. It's a horrible business model for the physical discs. Maybe the downloading side works out better.
You are expressing just what I was thinking! Ordering discs is exceptionally complicated, so that it keeps me off buying items from this website.

Two reviewers on amazon.co.uk presume these to be BBC radio transcriptions from 1959 by the same big band that performed at the 1959 Newport Jazz Festival (featuring among others Dickie Hawdon on trumpet / bass trumpet, Laurie Monk on trombone, Danny Moss on tenor sax, Dave Lee on piano and Kenny Clare on drums.
Can anyone here provide accurate discographical information on these recordings? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a killer arrangement by Bob Florence, that can be heard on the album "Treasure Chest"; it is conceived not as a tender ballad, but as a hard swinging medium tempo big band chart.
