According to the book "Jazz Milestones - A pictorial Chronicle of Jazz 1990-1990" , no jazz album has been recorded on my birthday November 1, 1968. Is that a holyday in the US too?

From the week around that day:

- Miles Davis - Filles de Killimanjaro

- Philliy Joe Jones - Trailway Express

- Barney Kessel - Swinging Easy & Hair is beautiful

- Big John Patton - Understanding

- Ronnie Scott - Live at Ronnie Scott's

- John Tchicai - Cadentia Nova Danica

- Stanley Turrentine - Always something there

Not much to get excited about (except Miles of course). I have to find that Tchicai album :)

Don't have a discography at hand, but I know that A LOVE SUPREME was recorded on Dec. 9, 1964, exactly one year before my birthday.Ā  Close enough--I'll take it!

December (7, 8 and ) 9, 1965:

J.J. Johnson - J.J.! (The Dynamic Sound Of J.J. With Big Band) - RCA

I can't off the top of my head name a recording from my birthday--02/11/47--(wait, when were the Bolden cylinders recorded?)--but I'd like to hear whether anyone knows of recording dates whose musical substance was somehow affected by news events. For instance Billie Hollliday's gently ironic reading of Gershwin's "Things Are Looking Up" was recorded just days after George Gershwin's untimely death.

On the day that I was born (March 6, 1954), Miles Davis recorded a quartet session for Blue Note with Horace Silver that appears on "Miles Davis Vol. 2". I had enjoyed that record for many years before I noticed.
