P.D. Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 (edited) Braff had three record dates from this period that were issued on Phillips / Epic June 26, ’56 Quartet date with Dave McKenna, Steve Jordan and Buzzy Drootin June 28 ’56 Lawrence Brown, Coleman Hawkins, Ernie Caceras, Don Elliot ( on vibes ), Nat Pierce, Freddie Green, Ed Jones, Buzzy Drootin Four tracks only July 10, ’56 Sextet with Pierce, Elliott, Green, Jones and Drootin 14 tracks in all, 15 if you include a second take on Moonglow 12 of these were issued on the Braff! Cd I think there may be some confusion here, although I believe that someone reported a completely unissued Braff session promised as part of the set. Buck Clayton With Maelowe Morris Probably the quartet set from ’53 Jerome Dar gtr, Les Erskine drms Buck Clayton Special From ’58 Vic Dickenson, Buddy Tate, Dick Katz, Walter Page, Bobby Donaldson Bit of a rare one, I haven’t seen this around very often Herb Ellis.. Midnight Roll Two groups, three sessions Frank Asunto (tpt) Buddy Tate, Ray Bryant,, Jimmy Rouser ( bs) though Israel Crosbys substitutes on one track.. Gus Johnson They contributed 7 tracks to the LP, not all musicians play on every track The final four tracks had Roy Eldridge , Tate, Bryant, Crosby and Johnson My copy is beaten up.. will be nice to have a cleaned up CD. I am familiar with all the records except the Clayton Special, and as I said above, I think that there is some confusion as to the braff as tracks from his sets were issued both on Phillips and Epic.

P.D. Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 (edited) Forgot the Burrell From ’61 A series of sessions Illinois Jacquet, Hank Jones, Major Holley, Osie Johnson Followed by same with Jimmy Crawford on drums Then a set with Eddie Bert, Hank Jones, George Duvivier, Louis Hayes Finally another quartet with Leo Wright, Jack McDuff, and Joe Dukes drums. This amounts to 9 tracks total Although the recent CD issue Moten Swing, about a year or two ago, expanded the music to18 tracks via a couple of unissued tunes, and unissued alternates of most of the original tracks Edited October 15, 2004 by P.D.

Dan Gould Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Although the recent CD issue Moten Swing, about a year or two ago, expanded the music to18 tracks via a couple of unissued tunes, and unissued alternates of most of the original tracks And I thought this was one of the sets I didn't have already. Is it a foregone conclusion that the Ben and Sweets date has no alternates or unissued tunes? That one is a stone classic, but it would be great to hear more from them. Quote
P.D. Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 And the Hawkins / Terry date had Major Holley and Dave Bailey to complete the rhythm section. This and the Sweets / Webster are both good sessions, but yes Dan, I think they were " Let's go in the Studio and cut an album dates" I doubt that there is anything extra from these dates.. but Mosaic has surprised me before.

montg Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Posted October 15, 2004 Thanks P.D.!! This set's looking better and better. Quote

Cd I think there may be some confusion here, although I believe that someone reported a completely unissued Braff session promised as part of the set. The Epic LP was issued as 'Braff'. The British Philips had different tracks from two of the sessions (the two sessions sans Hawkins) plus several alternates. The Philips was a rare item. Glad to see it being reissued. Quote
