Prestige did not give this session matrix numbers (nor to Rhoda Scott's "Live at the Key Club"). But there would have been session notes by Esmond Edwards and/or Rudy Van Gelder. I assume (big assumption) that Michel Ruppli would have had access to these notes in compiling the Prestige discography in 1980. The entry for this session reads

Light and lovely ------------- PRLP7191, PR7357, PR7407, OJCCD940

Straight no chaser ---------- PRLP7191, --------- PR7407, OJCCD940

Woody 'n you --------------- PRLP7191, ---------- PR7407, OJCCD940

Bingo Domingo ------------- PRLP7191, --------- PR7407, OJCCD940

I'll remember April --------- PRLP7191, PR7309, PR7407, OJCCD940

But this appears to be a track list of the original LPs. Nonetheless, it MAY reflect the runing order of the shows. I rather think that the Willis Jackson listing, which also follows the track order on the LPs does also follow the playing order.

I've added in the current CD issues, just to be helpful

OJCCD is called "The tenor scene"

PR24206 is called "Live at Minton's"

OJCCD1085 is called "Battle stations" - the two tracks were tacked onto a completely different Jaws/Griff album as bonus tracks.

All of this material will fit easily onto two CDs. Total playing time is about 135 minutes.

that would shift my post's "sets":

1) first set

2) breakfast set

3) midnight set

4) late set

Makes sense, only why the hell "breakfast set"? if the third set was the midnight set, the first would have been well into the evening, I assume!? I assume that's because that set has been released under that title (now known as "The Tenor Scene"), but still... the whole release practice here seems a bit weird, but I guess that's how it goes with such lengthy live sessions. They had to fill up the "Early" and "Late" albums with one track each from the "Breakfast" to make full longplay albums... but anyway, it's of course great to have that whole recording available on official albums, for sure!

Thanks for your help, MG!

Breakfast is before you go home for the night.

I have it on a compilation of all that early 60´s stuff , my wife bought it for me for Chrismas.

Great stuff since I sometimes play with a 2 tenor tandem and they´s work on some stuff from that repertory.

Well, Epistrophy is very fine.
