Ephie Resnick/Marty Grosz: The End of Innocence (Mark Records) A seemingly homemade record of trombone and guitar duets. Charming and real. My copy has an address for Ephraim Resnick stamped on it. Wonder if he still lives there? The image above is actually the back cover, but it was all I could find.

Be patient and in time the Andorrans will bootleg everything you might be looking for.

I've never been moved by this record. I don't know whether the problem is Mickey Roker (probably), Joe Pass (very possibly), the safe repertoire (possibly), or me (again possibly).

I'm not sure this was invariably the case. The Beatles meant nothing on the R&B singles chart (as opposed to the Stones, who did have a few R&B hits). So when musicians like Willis Jackson whose albums were definitely aimed at the black community, recorded their songs, it doesn't seem to me like a good strategy for cashing in; you don't cash in on something that's unsuccessful. MG It's possible that Willis Jackson or others who appealed to a black audience didn't have a primary interest in recording Beatles songs, but perhaps their record companies did. Even then, rock (and funk) had put a devastating hit on the jazz market and everyone was looking for a crossover success, however it might happen. You may be right that it was the producers who got these songs recorded by Gator and others. But these musicians had always been interested in playing white pop songs like 'Glory of love', 'Angel eyes', 'She's funny that way' and 'South of the border' etc etc. I saw the Beatles songs as being part of that thread of entertainment jazz. MG You may be right also. The only way to know would be to ask any of the artists or producers who are still around and hope for a straight answer.

Bought mine at Stereo Jack's about 25 years ago. Can't remember the price, but I'm sure it was less than $15.

So you think that only jazz collectors have deep pockets? http://www.ebay.com/itm/300969625287?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 I won't be spinning THAT 78.

If you wear a tuxedo often enough, it ceases to be a "tuxedo". No offense, but that sounds to me like the kind of line that Wynton might lay on people.

Off the top of my head, The Complete H.R.S. Sessions. Much of it is unavailable anywhere else, and the sound quality of what is available isn't the best.

Couldn't choose one, so: Two formidable tenor sax performances: "Oleo" from This Is Buck Hill (Steeplechase) "My Romance" from The Real Bud Freeman 1984 (Principally Jazz) String Quartet Opus 76, No. 4 When the "Sunrise" Quartet ended, I felt like standing, applauding, and shouting "Bravo"! I didn't, but it probably would have been a very good thing if I had done so.

Let's get honest. What this was - especially back in the 1960's - was jazz musicians and their record companies looking to cash in. Nothing more, nothing less.
