Coleman Hawkins "Thanks For The Memory"

[Brute]

Can anyone direct me to the discography for these sessions? Is there a "complete" Hawkins discography online somewhere?

The Japanese import CD has extra tracks that were not included on the album and thus no info on them. Thanks in advance!

Am listening to that Xanadu LP right now. It includes sessions of 17 May, 14 November, 21 November and 1 December 1944.

The "Thanks For The Memory" session is the 1 Dec. 1944 session. But this is not a Coleman Hawkins session at all but rather an Esquire award winners session (listed as by "Leonard Feather's All Stars" by Jepsen ansd Bruyninckx). Bruyninckx does not list any extra tracks from that session beyond the 4 on the LP.

Are you sure those extra tracks are from that session (or one of those 4 sessions) at all?

It probably would help immensely and clear up things if you could list those extra tracks not included on the LP.

The four starred sides are from a July 27, 1944 date issued on Manor and on Regis. They were previously reissued on LP on Onyx 217.

The personnel are: Charlie Shavers (t), Edmond Hall (cl), Coleman Hawkins (ts), Clyde Hart (p), Tiny Grimes (g), Oscar Pettiford (b), Denzil Best (d).

My recollection is that Edmond Hall only plays on two of the sides.

Two other selections from that date (Shivers and It Had to Be You) were apparently not issued.

Thanks for that, Jazztrain. I just assumed they were all from the same sessions but I guess not.
