There are a number of Contemporary sessions that remained on the shelves for many years:

Courtis Counce - Sonority (although that's more a compilation of leftovers, recorded 1956-58, released 1989)

Hampton Hawes - Bird Song (unreleased trio date with Paul Chambers and Larance Marable from 1956, released 1999)

some of the Art Pepper sessions? I don't have details ... and a Helen Humes?

There should be more ...

Does anyone know if 'Saxes in Hi-Fi' by 'The Jazz Workshop under the direction of Al Cohn' recorded, I think, for Epic, with Al, Zoot, Eddie Wasserman, Peanuts HUcko, Sol Schlinger among others, has found its way to CD?

Free the Atlantic Trios!

[BruceH]

ok, one that's not off topic now: Lucky Thompson's marvellous Candid album, released first in its entirety in the 80s, I think (one title was on one of those samplers):

That's a good one!

[BillF]

Oh my ... there's so much ...

One item that comes to mind is Shorty Rogers' 1956 "Clicking with Clax" session for Atlantic that wasn't released until much, much later.

It's great session

There are more Candid LPs besides the great Lucky thompson session that were released only in the 1980's due to the label's bankruptcy:

as well as CDs with unreleased Mingus, Cecil Taylor, Otis Spann .....

[medjuck]

There's the Ruby Braff session that remained unreleased until it appeared on the Mosaic Columbia Small Groups box set.

[Chuck Nessa]

Free the Atlantic Trios!

I got 'em and you don't.

I was going to mention those, but I thought they'd come out on LP briefly in America. Didn't read the sleeve notes when looking through the CDs

Any more faves??

And remember, STUDIO DATES ONLY, and NO Blue Note dates (at least none originally recorded for and by Blue Note).

OK, I'm not always in the mood for this one. But I do think it is fascinating...

Other Aspects

Yes, released on Blue Note -- but my memory is that they were all private recordings that Eric had made, which were in his possession (later his family's), not seeing the light of day until this CD (in the late 80's).

The 15-minute composition"Jim Crow" is powerful stuff (with an operatic soprano, no less). "Improvisations and Tukras" (with traditional Indian (India) instruments) is curious and interesting (at least once, if admittedly not so much for repeated spins). And the solo flute tracks were and are always welcome in my book (I've always thought Dolphy was a stunning flute player).

Not the most important Dolphy date in anybody's collection, but a real honest curiosity, in a good way.
