Stevie Mclean Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 (edited) I am wondering if anyone can confirm my understanding of the way that JazzDisco lists the takes from a recording session. For example, for this John Patton session: John Patton Quartet Marvin Cabell, soprano, tenor sax; George Coleman, tenor sax; John Patton, organ; Leroy Williams, drums. Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, June 9, 1969 tk.5 Buddy Boy Blue Note CDP 7243 8 53924 2 9 tk.16 2 J - tk.23 Man From Tanganyika Blue Note CDP 7243 8 35221 2 5 tk.25 Cissy Strut - tk.30 Dragon Slayer - tk.33 Sweet Pea Blue Note CDP 7243 8 53924 2 9 * Blue Note CDP 7243 8 53924 2 9 John Patton - Accent On The Blues 1997 * Blue Note CDP 7243 8 35221 2 5 John Patton - Memphis To New York Spirit 1996 I assume that the takes listed are total from the whole session and not for each song. So assuming that these songs listed are the only songs attempted at the session, then: Buddy Boy: 5th take 2 J: 11th take Man from Tanganyika: 7th take Cissy Strut: 2nd take Dragon Slayer: 5th take Sweet Pea: 3rd take Edited May 22 by Stevie Mclean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 But does the chosen take have to be the final one? Could they have made 15 takes of 'Buddy Boy' and then one take of '2 J'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess it's hard to estimate exactly how many takes we're done for each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
