Does anyone know what albums were released on Billy Higgins label World Stage records. The only 3 I have been able to find are:

Black Note - 43rd and Degnan

Robert Stewart - Judgement 

and

Philippe Vieux QT - Point of Vieux

 

I'm wondering if anyone has any info on other releases. I haven't had any success researching on the internets

Charles McPherson - Illusions In Blue

The original issue, possibly?

Long shot here, but Black/Note - L.A. Underground...definitely released on Red, but see this: R-5129596-1440603360-1913.jpeg.jpg

But then, this: http://www.redrecords.it/item.aspx?id=170&tipo=releases&lang=ENG

I don't know...sounds like label pimping and/or willfull-ish "ignorance" to me.

The All Music Guide cites Judgement as having been released on World Stage Records. It is the same recording as that released on RED, for whom I credit with the first release.

Thats interesting, I own Illusions In Blues on Chazz/Jazz label and its copyright date is 1990 and states its a live recording but doesn't list the location.

Possible it was reissued by World Stage 3 years later I supposed. Chazz/Jazz appears to have been located in La Jolla, CA, so the SoCal proximity leads to this being a possibility as well. 

 

Thanks!!!!!

The Lord Disco has only these two, with a note that the latter was reissued on Red Records. IIRC Higgins had a good relationship with the Italian label.

I believe the stream of the album Robert has on Youtube for judgement states it was reissued by Red.

Album                                                          Catalog No.       

Black Note - 43rd & Degnan                        WSR 1011

Charles McPherson - Illusions In Blue *      WSR 1012

Robert Stewart - Judgement                       WSR 1013

                                                                     WSR 1014

The Philippe Vieux Qt. - Point of Vieux       WSR 1015

Faye Carol - The Flow                                 WSR 1016

 

* Based on the Robert Stewart insert, it lists Illusions In Blue as catalog No. 1012. The Chazz Jazz (McPherson's label) release has a 1990 copyright date, which would pre-date it to the World Stage Records labels first release in 1991. There are a couple interesting articles about this album archived with LA Times, where it seems Charles had a dispute with the venue that some songs were recorded at. All the article list dates that indicate the Chazz Jazz release was after 1990 since it doesn't seem it had quite been released in 1991, but was available in 1993: April 2nd, 1991 articleApril 23rd,1991 articleJune 2nd, 1993 article. I honestly have no idea what to make of all this but its interesting.
