Discovery Records has been one of my main research areas for years. When I requested copies of AFM contracts for the label I was disappointed that Local 47 did not have any on file for 1947, the date that Jepson and Tom Lord attributed to the Phil Moore compositions and Calvin Jackson solo piano performances. As it turns out there were no contracts as Moore recorded these works independently in late 1947 and early 1948. https://jazzresearch.com/albert-marx-discovery-records-part-1/ Jim

Many years ago several members of this forum suggested (or rather urged) that I put together all of my bits and pieces about Pacific Jazz into a narrative history of the label. I am happy to announce to the forum that my history will be published by McFarland this year. McFarland direct and Amazon are accepting pre-orders.

The latest addition to my Jazz Research blog examines the Art Pepper Discovery sessions. http://jazzwestcoastresearch.blogspot.com/2016/04/art-pepper-discovery-sessions-james-a.html Over the years many discographers have wondered why there were no alternate takes from the first recording session on March 4, 1952. I think that the answer lies with the fact that the session was financed by Robert Scherman using his Skylark Records license. Scherman was a thrifty producer and saving alternate takes was not something he practiced.
