Chas Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 The Pacific Jazz Piano Trios Mosaic Select includes Rowles' Liberty side which was material Rowles recorded for Nocturne in 1954 . Rowles did 10 tracks for Nocturne , all of which were issued on Fresh Sound's 3-Volume Complete Nocturne Recordings box . The Mosaic Select only has the 9 Nocturne tracks that actually came out on Liberty and offers no explanation as to why they chose to add 2 Rowles trio tracks from 1956 instead of the tenth Nocturne trio track ( done at the same session ? ) which is a version of All The Things You Are . Presumably this is because Capitol/EMI don't own the rights to Nocturne recordings that were not issued by Liberty , but I would have expected Mosaic to give us better discographical detail . In that connection , what about this trio date done for Vantage ? : If I'm not mistaken , Vantage was Bob Andrews' L.A. label that issued his amateur recordings that were done live locally . Three 10-inchers , one each by , Hampton Hawes , Anthony Ortega and Pinky Winters were issued in the mid-Fifties . Some of Andrews' other recordings came out on Xanadu in the Seventies . On the 9 Vantage Rowles trio tracks ( presumably recorded live circa 1953-54 ) rhythm support is provided by John Simmons and Frankie Capp . Also , I assume this Japanese Norma issue is this music's first and only issue . Can someone here provide the discographical details that Mosaic should have ?
