Is there a Pacific Jazz Records Discography?

[Hardbopjazz]

Does one exists in a hard copy? I've searched on Amazon, but didn't fine one.

Unless you find something, the best source I know is https://jazzresearch.com/category/pacific-jazz/

Chuck beat me to it. If anyone could do this, it is James Harrod. Those thousands of edits and scattered releases make it a nightmare.

One of the things that stalled me in writing a history of the label was what Mikeweil noted, the PJ discographty is a can or worms that is beyond establishing firm data. So I have given up including a discography in the history, instead just writing a chronological narrative that includes specific data I have researched.

This must be taken with a grain of salt. E.g. they identify both takes of This Is The Blues by Curtis Amy and Paul Bryant which l found out to be different.

PJ-18: Picture of Health?? And this on a record featuring Chet Baker and Art Pepper? Wonder what kind of sly underhanded "humor" this is?

The title, of course, was "Picture of HEATH", who you will know had the same hea(l)th problems as Chet and Art. 😗

Yes I KNOW the title is "Heath", of course, but would not have remembered offhand that he had the same heath ...er .. health problems as the two featured artists. So ... given THEIR notoriety, there was something Freudian about this kind of error ...

Yes, indeed. I recall reading that Jimmy's "hea(l)th" problems had landed him in prison at the time (a fate, of course, that Art and Chet were to suffer at other times) and that the charts for the Picture of Heath session were somehow smuggled out.
