bertrand Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Five examples to get started. In each of these examples, the artist did record the song elsewhere, as a leader or sideman. Sonny Rollins: What’s New Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention: Absolutely Free Grant Green: Grant’s First Stand Butch Warren: Butch’s Blues Buddy DeFranco: Sweet And Lovely Bertrand.

David Ayers Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 There's a record I can't remember where the self-penned title track was recorded but not used on the album - I'll try to remember which that was, maybe not even jazz - so my tweak on this question is, any albums where the title track was recorded at the sessions but not used?

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Hard to think of, except by accident. Mark Whitfield's 'True blue' doesn't contain the tune 'True blue' (though Tina Brooks' album of the same name does ) Nor does Hank Crawford's 'True blue'.

Rosco Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Gil Scott Heron- Winter In America. The song of that title appears on the album The First Minute of a New Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Ah yes! And 'Beginings (first minute of a new day)' appears on 'From South Africa to South Carolina'. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John L Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Lou Donaldson Lush Life. It is an interesting question as to why Blue Note decided to change the name of that album (Sweet Slumber) to Lush Life. Sonny Criss - Mr. Blues Pour Flirter. The song "Blues Pour Flirter" was released separate from the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song "Blues Pour Flirter" was released separate from the album. Lush Life was the title assigned to the "unissued" album. When the session was finally released in Japan it was called Sweet Slumber. Later Cuscuna discovered a number of cover designs for unissued sessions and released them in the US - Lush Life was one of these. One more title on topic is Dizzy Reece Star Bright, though the spelling is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B. Clugston Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Miles Davis, Big Fun. "Big Fun" was released as a single and was also a preliminary name for one of the songs the live band frequently played during that era.

mjzee Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'm not aware of a song titled "Softly As A Summer Breeze". It sounds like a song title. I thought it might be a sequel to Softly As In A Morning Sunrise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Litweiler Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I was extremely annoyed that Pi issued a CD titled "Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City" by the Art Ensemble of Chicago. It's bad enough that that CD doesn't include the title work - someone at Pi told me that they didn't know about the existence of the great Jarman / Delmark performance of the poem "Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City" (Nessa's second recording for Delmark). What was worse about Pi's blunder is that, just a couple years later, Roscoe Mitchell's beautiful orchestra-+-baritone setting of Jarman's poem - the real thing - appeared on the Abrams-Mitchell CD "Spectrum" (Mutable Music). Anybody confused yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
