Discovery Records - The Phil Moore Masters

[JamesAHarrod]

Discovery Records has been one of my main research areas for years. When I requested copies of AFM contracts for the label I was disappointed that Local 47 did not have any on file for 1947, the date that Jepson and Tom Lord attributed to the Phil Moore compositions and Calvin Jackson solo piano performances. As it turns out there were no contracts as Moore recorded these works independently in late 1947 and early 1948.
