Dameron/Navarro Royal Roost issues

[jeffcrom]

Back in October, Lazaro Vega posted that he was looking for the Jazz View CDs of Tadd Dameron's band with Fats Navarro at the Royal Roost. I found copies for him and for me. I figured that there would be some overlap between them and the Milestone CD Fats Navarro Featured With the Tadd Dameron Band. It turns out that the first ten tracks from the Milestone CD are also on the Jazz View CDs - that's all of the Milestone tracks except the three on which Kai Winding replaces Navarro.

That leaves plenty of tracks on the two Jazz View CDs which aren't on the Milestone. The Jazz View tracks often have Symphony Sid's spoken introductions, which is cool, but the high end has been drastically rolled off to eliminate surface noise; this affects the sound very negatively. So the Milestone issue sounds better, even with surface noise. Anyway, they're all worth having, and I finally got around to making a little chart of which of the Milestone tracks are on which Jazz View CD. I tried to get the PDF just the right size to fit neatly into a CD booklet, but I got tired of fooling with it before I reached that point. If you download this chart and print it at 80 or 85%, it should fit pretty well.
