Big disappointment: Most new cars do not even come with a CD player. Instead you are expected to stream music from your phone or what ever. For us old timers this is a good reason to hold on to our older cars that have a CD player. In fact my 2010 car has a 6-disc changer which is wonderful. I guess if I am forced to buy a new car I will have go to a stereo store and have a CD changer installed. Unlike missing CD players in new cars I do not miss cigarette lighters and ash trays.

Brad- no. JWC Group is on Yahoo.

Capitol issued an LP (T-656) in 1955 featuring June Christy backed by Stan Kenton. This LP, also available on CD, gives a good sample of his solo piano style for American songbook tunes.

The owner-moderator of the Jazz West Coast Group (James Harrod) responded to my email and sent me instructions how to access the group again. Many thanx to him.

What happened to the Yahoo Group? After Organissimo, Jazz West Coast was my favorite. Can this blog be resurrected somehow, perhaps as an Organissimo topic?

Latest information I have obtained on TRLP-8: Three songs initially intended for release on TRLP-8 have been released on the Mosaic Paul Chambers Select 3-CD set (MS-005). They are "Trane's Strain", "High Step" and "Nixon, Dixon and Yates Blues". Still unknown is what other songs were recorded and never released.

Columbia released several excellent Dave Brubeck LPs in 1965 through 1969. They are all available on CD except for "Compadres" and "The Last Time We Saw Paris". My favorite of this series is "Jackpot" recorded live in Las Vegas.

I have a beautiful set of Japanese produced Transition CDs released in 1994. They are exact versions of the LPs: TOCJ-5885 (TRLP-20) Watkins At Large TOCJ-5886 (TRLP-4) Byrd's Eye View TOCJ-5887 (TRLP-17) Byrd Blows On Beacon Hill TOCJ-5888 (TRLP-19) Cecil Taylor Jazz Advance TOCJ-5889 (TRLP-30) Jazz In Transition TRLP-30 includes 2 tracks that were not included on the original LPs: "Crazy Rhythm" in Byrd's Eye View and "Sweet & Lovely" in Cecil Taylor Jazz Advance. Also included in TRLP-30 is "Something's Gotta Give" from the Jay Migliori Quintet (TRLP-18). The notes in TRLP-30 have a discography of the TRLP-18 session which was recorded on November 7, 1955 in Boston. For unknown reasons this LP was never released and remains a mystery today.

Sampler is TRLP-30.

Two of Tom Wilson's Transition recordings have never been released on LP (or CD): TRLP-8 "Pepper Adams-Curtis Fuller" and TRLP-18 "Jay Migliori". A song from each was released on the Transition Sampler (TRLP-30)- "Train's Strain" from TRLP-8 and "Something's Gotta Give" from TRLP-18. Perhaps the complete tapes exist in an archive that someday may come to light .

Some terrific Bunny Berigan 1931-1936 recordings was released on CD by the International Association of Jazz Record Collectors (IAJRC) CD-1013.

Both TRLP-8 and TRLP-18 have never been released.

Found it. Waiting for LP in mail. Thanks Jeffrey.

I would not put the sleeves with the records back into the album cover. Doing this causes wear on the cover edges eventually resulting in split edges.

More information please. Looks interesting.

I have down-loaded Fourmost Guitars MP3 from Amazon that includes the 3 Chuck Wayne tracks. Still available on Amazon.

Bump. Still looking for TRLP-18.

Still looking for TRLP-8 and TRLP-18.

Still looking for LPs from the Transition label- TRLP-8 (Pepper Adams/Curtis Fuller) and TRLP-18 (Jay Migliori).

Bump.

There are 4 Jam Session LPs (#100 thru 103). They all contain West Coast Jazz music from the 1950's. If you are interested in more information PM me.

Fresh Sound Records released a CD (CD-157) that included the 7 tracks from Wardell Gray Xanadu-146 LP plus 2 extra from the session- "Keen And Peachy" and "Lady Bird". The 2 tracks totaling 18 minutes were too long to fit onto an LP. These 2 tracks are on the Jam Session LP (JS-101).

Legacy Records LP MK1000. Recorded in Louisville, Ky 1958. The label is not the Columbia/Sony label but another obscure label. Artists are Don Murray, Dave Klingman and Gene Klingman.

Dave Brubeck on Fantasy. Also with Miles also helped Columbia.
