👍 - as Verve Records / Polydor K.K. UMV 2617 [Japan 1982] on my shelf

I also have this but have not listened to it lately. It seemed to me that´s a sampler of some remainders, I have heard that some of the stuff was on a sampler album titled "The Jazz Scene", at least that´s what an older musician (Allan Praskin) told me. 

The 1949 combo sessions, well somehow they sound half hearted. It´s the same group that shortly afterwards went to Paris for the first time (with Dorham, Haig, Potter and Roach), and what they played there is exiting. On the studio date nobody knows what was the reason to add Tommy Turk. Tommy Turk was a great technician on the trombone, but in general I miss the "message". 

The session with the vocals is fun, I like it "In The Still of the Night" and so on......

Since "My Ideal" is the "torch song" of me and the wonderful young Andreea Irina, who is my love since I noticed her when I had a gig in town and for coincidence we did "My Ideal" as a ballad feature, and SHE was in the audience, I spotted her, the most beautiful girl I ever seen, and you know the lyrics...."or will a pass her by and never even know that she´s my ideal"..... and after the first set I went straight to her and said "you see, I didn´t pass by, I recognize you, you are my ideal" and that it was. 

When I spinned this for her, sure he loved the voice of Earl Coleman, but she really soaked up Sonny Rollins´ solo. So deep that girl, so much music, I mean stunning beauty, youth, and in combination with outstanding musicality. 

My Ideal remains our torch song.....

is the Tadd Dameron thing the live sessions in the Roost ? I have it, it´s great. But I also have an old Musidisc LP which has two features of Kenny Haggood doin´ "Pennies from Heaven" very slow, and "The Kitchenette Across the Hall" which I never could find as a standard, it has nice lyrics about a guy who falls in love with a girl that lives in the "Kitchenette Across the Hall". Maybe the tune and the lyrics is Tadd Dameron ? 

I think I have the double LP "Tadd Dameron Band 1948" on the Milestone label, which is strange, since Milestone for me was a label of the 70´s with artists like Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson, former Blue Note Artists.....

That's a very cute, romantic story;

Yes, the Jazzland record is live material from 1948. The notes do not actually say where it was recorded.

By the 1970s, when the "twofers" were appearing, Fantasy owned the catalogs of both Riverside/Jaazzland and Milestone, among others
