The one right off the top of my head is Chet Baker. Dozens of sessions as a leader but not much music composed by him. Can anyone think of any others?

Anyone have any information if this whether it ever got released. Rare Jazz Recordings Uncovered 1940s Lester Young Jam Session Recording Discovered During a news conference announcing the fourth annual National Recording Registry, the Library of Congress also announced the discovery of a jam session featuring jazz great Lester Young. Speaking on the Young discovery, Loren Schoenberg, executive director of the Jazz Museum in Harlem, said, "Yes, this was Lester’s absolute zenith and there is precious little extant from this period. Imagine a new Shakespearean sonnet, Chopin nocturne or Hemingway short story – that's what we have here – an American master, a true iconoclast, at his very best." Three disc sides were found among a donated collection of about 150 16-inch lacquer discs -- a fragile, pre-tape recordable format -- which will be digitally preserved by the Library as part of its continuing digital preservation initiative. Eugene DeAnna, head of the Library’s Recorded Sound Section, said that no one previously knew about this hidden jazz treasure, and he spoke about the compelling story behind the discovery, which was simply labeled "Jam Session, December 29, 1940": "The outer sleeve had some pencil marks showing first names that would be of great interest to jazz aficianados – Doc, J. C., Shad and, most intriguing, L. Young," DeAnna recalled. "When our audio engineer cued the disc, we were delighted to find a jam session featuring Lester Young leading a small band in an unidentified nightclub." Young was accompanied by Shad Collins on trumpet, Doc West on drums, J.C. Higginbotham on trombone and Sammy Price on piano. The recording is especially significant because it was recorded during a vital period in Young’s career, when little of his work survives. According to DeAnna, it is speculated that Young was performing at the famous Village Vanguard in New York City. "At one point the emcee announces that the chile con carne is ready," DeAnna said. A similar announcement was made at last year’s National Recording Registry news conference, when the Library announced that historically significant concert tapes, featuring the legendary jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk and iconic saxophonist John Coltrane, had been uncovered in the Library’s recorded sound collection during preparation for preservation. Those recordings were released as a top-selling CD in 2005, under the title "Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall." Larry Appelbaum, the Library’s Recording Lab supervisor and jazz specialist who discovered the Monk-Coltrane tapes, will lecture on "Hunting for Jazz Treasures: Discovering the Monk-Coltrane Tapes," at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19, in the Mary Pickford Theater, LM 301, James Madison Building, 101 Independence Ave., Washington, D.C. The Library of Congress (www.loc.gov) is the nation's oldest federal cultural institution and the world's largest library with more than 132 million items, which includes nearly 2.8 million sound recordings. The Library's Recorded Sound Section holds the largest number of radio broadcasts in the United States – more than 500,000.

The reason I ask, in the Clifford Brown's appearance on the Soupy Sales show, Soupy mentions to the audience that "Clifford and Max appear in the new movie Carmen Jones." I have not seen this movie and wondered if Clifford is actually on screen or just heard playing the trumpet. I will need to find this movie so I can watch and see for myself. The Soupy 3 minute clip I thought was the only known film of Clifford Brown.

Anyone here see the film "Carmen Jones" from 1954? What was Max Roach and Clifford Brown's part in this movie? Reading a blog it states that both Roach and Brown are in this movie. It can't be with them playing, since there is only one known 3 minute film of Clifford Brown on the Soupy Sales show.
