romualdo Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Any idea as to which was the earlier/original cover? Also, I think this was only recorded/released in mono Edited January 25, 2011 by romualdo Quote
Big Wheel Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Any idea as to which was the earlier/original cover? Also, I think this was only recorded/released in mono Don't know the answer to your question, but I have always wondered why the CD credits BOTH Hampton Hawes AND his pseudonym of Henry McDode. Does either version of the LP do the same? Excellent, underrated record BTW. Quote

Wow, didn't realise that McDode was HH!! found a good list of jazz pseudonyms http://list.dincom.co.uk/pseudonyms.html Don't have the LP's, so I can't answer that one for you Nice to hear Gerald Wilson's trumpet playing & I just can't get enough of Teddy Edwards!! Thanks for the info Edited January 25, 2011 by romualdo Quote
king ubu Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Yes! Excellent album! Didn't know about the Hawes alias either... and indeed: never enough Teddy Edwards! Quote

mikeweil Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago I have my doubts about Henry McDode being a pseudonym for Hampton Hawes. If Hawes couldn't be credited for contractual reasons, what sense would it make to credit him for one session? The Lord Disco shows McDoide on a total of four sessions (I can't access it at this moment). One is from 1949: https://www.discogs.com/release/9147738-Big-John-And-His-Orchestra-Too-Late-Blues-Shindig Quote
