Charlie Christian moved his left hand a lot. http://home.elp.rr.com/valdes/xcrpt.htm "7" `

In one of the more bizarre examples, the composer credits for Mercer Ellington's "Things Ain't What They Used To Be" (sometimes Duke Ellington and Don George get partial credit as well), on the CD reissue of the Jim Hall Trio "Jazz Guitar" album creatively get transformed to to "Duke Ellington / Johnny Mercer"). A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, indeed! I assume, but can't confirm, that the same error appeared on the original LP (can anyone confirm this?). Jim Hall's original Jazz Guitar LP says "By Ellington and Mercer" .

The last one was MJCD 202, Billie Holiday, Vol. 17: June-September 1949, released 27 May 2002 "7"

The definitive CC biography is already in the pipeline: Solo Flight See the March 7 entry. "7"

Thanks, Jim. ghost's link ID's the gentleman in question. Don't know if he visits this board but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Blues band--dunno, that's what I heard. "7"

Solo Flight Go here and scroll down to May 1941 "7"

Message to Adrian Ingram (last known to be playing in a blues band in England): Please contact your ‘Gibson L5’ publisher, Ron at Centerstream.

By the late 1940s, Django, besides going electric, was quoting many of Charlie Christian's licks. "7"

Garth-- You may be interested in visiting the "Solo Flight" website: Solo Flight if you haven't done so already. Glad to see you also mentioned Billy Bauer. His "You Stepped Out of a Dream" is exceptional by any standard. Only heard this aircheck on a bootleg LP (probably put out by Boris Rose) decades ago. "7"

They also list Thelonious Monk as being on the recordings. He's not ! "7"

Been lurking, John. Never miss any of your posts. "7"

The discussion group is an independent board unrelated to the CC website. Unfortunately, Broadbent has been unsuccessfully trying to bring down the board for the past couple of years--presumably out of envy. He has, however, driven many posters away from what had been a very good BB. "7"

I have the original 1957 LP release. The back cover reads: PACIFIC JAZZ PJ-1227 "7"

The 'They' referred to material released by companies from the Definitive group from Andorra/Spain. I am well aware of the added - and very welcome - material that is included in releases from other labels. Then we are in complete agreement, brownie. Since you specifically addressed dmitry, I assumed that you were replying directly to his question which (to me) implied all European countries. Cheers, "7"

Never say never, brownie. Sometimes the European labels issue never-before-released material and/or improved sound. Like Masters of Jazz, Phontastic, Jazz Band for the former; Frog, Hep, the afore mentioned JSP for the latter; and Jazz Unlimited on both counts--to name a few. "7"
