Is this all the 5 BN´s plus "Our Man in Paris" ? Roost means the 1947 session with "April" on it and the 1953 session with "Embraceable You" on it ? It´s interesting that people talk more about the BN 1953 session than the Roost session from the same period. I almost never read something my concrete about the 53 Roost session, it is great, both the ballads and the fantastic "Woody´n You" and the only version of "Bag´s Groove" I heard from Bud. 
But in General I like most the things with horn players added like the first BN and the side B of the third one, and the Dexter session...

 

"Our Man in Paris" is not included, probably because Bud was not the leader.

In my collection, the "Fiesta" "Bird and Diz", "Swedish Schnapps", and "Cole Porter" have the same album covers, the others were Vol. 1 "Night and Day", Vol. 2 "Strings", Vol. 3 "Now´s the Time", Vol. 7 "Jazz Perennial"....so on,

I don´t know who gave them the vol. numbers, since it´s not chronological. I think it is 8 volumes, it was Japanese LPs. I think the one I listened most too is "Swedish Schnapps". 

Thanks for that Info. Had always the Idea # 1 to 3 is a different series. Volume 7 is  regretablly missing here. Your "Parker with strings" has also this cover

Yep.  Started there and have been fanning outward.

Carlos Garnett - Let this Melody Ring On (Muse, 1975)

Man, this record is good.

Just all kind of zaniness going on, but with great tenor playing too.

I remember finding a used copy of that LP decades ago, with a lush version of "Take the A Train." Glad that Might Quinn reissued it on CD before ceasing operations.

Well, I discovered that LP while I was working on my 70s jazz blog.  I liked the album -- but it didn't whack me upside the head, so I didn't dig more deeply. 

Recently, I circled back around to Jackie & Roy again, and this time I really fell hard for them.  A Wilder Alias and other stuff besides.  I've been listening to them a lot lately.  I've discovered that I really enjoy most of their music thru the years -- but especially their recordings from the 1970s and 1980s. 

It's been fun.

I think this LP may be where Donald Fagen picked up the "Ricki" riff.
