    I have an original copy of the JCOA release of that album. The one before the JCOA/Virgin edition. It came with a JCOA/New Music Distribution Service flyer.

    The back cover was black, indeed. The red labels were the same as the red labels that are on the discogs.com page but came with a 'Made in the USA' sign at the label's bottom.

    Love that album!

    Have the same issue, brownie. Haven't listened to it in much too long a time.

    I'm guessing that #3 is by a Perry Bradford band. He wrote the tune and the vocal sounds like he. If it is Perry Bradford, I have to get this version. The band is magnificent. I know that Louis Armstrong recorded with Bradford. Is he the trumpeter? The version I have - August, 1925 on Columbia (reissued on Frog) - is good, but earthbound. This version positively soars.

    Must get this one. Is it from the Timeless CD? Guess it's been reissued a number of times.

    If this isn't Perry Bradford, please ignore all of the above.

    OK - #12 is the 1953 Metronome All Stars with vocalist Billy Eckstine and, among others, Lester Young and Warne Marsh.

    Full personnel: Roy Eldridge (tp); Kai Winding (tb); John LaPorta (cl); Lester Young, Warne Marsh (ts); Teddy Wilson (p); Billy Bauer (g); Eddie Safranski (b); Max Roach (dr); Terry Gibbs (vis); Billy Eckstine (vcl)

    Great choice, Jeff - both for the music and the uniqueness of Pres and Warne recording together,

  9. Coleman Hawkins: "A Documentary" (Riverside)

    A great find and a fascinating listen! P.D. (remember him?) was my hookup, and I still feel gratitude.

    P.D. was also the one who provided me with a copy of this item.

    I had not asked for anything but I mentioned in one of the early O. threads that 'A Documentary' was one album I was really looking for.

    P.D. asked me for my adress and a few days later an envelope arrived at home with the copy. I emailed him with profuse thanks and asked him if there was anything I could get him in return? No reply...

    PD was also the person who provided me with a copy of this. So three of us owe him our thanks.

    Incidentally, Riverside also issued as single LP, Satchmo and Me: Lil Armstrong's Own Story - A Jazz Doumentary. Have an LP copy of that one.

    Gave a very quick skim through of some of the later tracks last night. Immediately recognized #12 because I have it in my collection. (Should give a thanks to Chuck on this one. I picked it up because of a mention he made.)

    Don't want to give it away this early, but it's (I believe) the only time that two great tenor saxes recorded together.

  13. What music did you buy today?

    In the mail today:

    Ives Plays Ives - The Complete Recordings of Charles Ives at the Piano, 1933-1943 (New World)

    The Six and Seven-Eighths String Band of New Orleans (Smithsonian Folkways)

    Let me know how the Six and Seven-Eights compares to the American Music double CD.

    Will do when I get a chance to listen to it.
