Hard to remember that these late ones are the same Sonny Stitt as was recording on Prestige back in the early 50's

I have a few of these (including some of the samplers) My favourite was the always the Roswell Presents which (at that time) had cd tracks that for me were then impossible to find. Now have them but still like to spin it as a treat now and again.

Like alot of sites - as soon as someone moves things - everything gets moved Here is what and how I found it again https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Down-Beat_copy(1).htm So...as today is March 15th (depends when you read this 🙂 ) https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/DownBeat/60s/62/Downbeat-1962-03-15.pdf Here is March 15th from 1962 and - oh boy this threw me when I read it on page 15 "THE ROAD CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM The jazz world was saddened by the sudden death of bassist Doug Watkins, killed in an automobile accident near Holbrook, Ariz., in the early morning hours of Feb. 5. Arizona Highway Patrolman Kenneth G. Hagin told Down Beat that Watkins, driving his own car, crossed the highway and rammed head on into an oncoming pickup truck. The bassist apparently had fallen asleep at the wheel. The-driver of the truck, Hagin said, was uninjured. Also unharmed were Watkins’ passengers—trumpeter Bill Hardman, 29; tenorist Roland Alexander, 26; and Fred Green, 28. The party was enroute to San Francisco where Watkins, Hardman, and Alexander were to join the new Philly Joe Jones group at the Jazz Workshop. Jones and pianist Elmo Hope had flown to San Francisco from New York. Watkins, a native of the jazz-rich Detroit area, was among a wave of young jazzmen from that city (including his cousin bassist Paul Chambers) who caused a flurry of excitement when they descended en masse on New York City in the mid-1950s. Prior to leaving Detroit, Watkins toured with the James Moody Band and worked with pianist Barry Harris. Coming to New York City in August, 1954, he played with trumpeter Kenny Dorham and worked briefly at Minton’s".... Thats my Sunday evening filled back with sadness

Gosh. What a great pity and what a contribution to the world of jazz Don Made. Thanks for letting us know Dan

Wow that Live at the Left Bank sure is tempting and been listening to a few samples so now might have to buy a copy! Nice find

Well I have all three - the Ruppli, the Swing Journal (alongside those for many other labels) and now these interesting 4 volumes and I find them all helpful and interesting. What I find I enjoyed was Tad's writing and input - not facts - I have the Ruppli etc for those (and many of the LPs/CDs also) I never saw this as a discography but as a blog (which I happened to have completely missed online - now in print) - a document about "listening to" Prestige with yes - some facts missing or lack of access to all the music available - that was never the point for me.

I am SO grateful for this coming up as I have now (in a fit of utter recklessness(not for the first time)) ordered the paper back volumes 1 to 4. I have to say I have been pouring over Volume 1 since they dropped and I am so impressed and a huge thanks @ListeningToPrestige for your effort, passion and notes - fantastic - absolutely fantastic idea.

I see now what you mean. Well: A records are never 100% readable or written down correctly B My stories have got slightly embellished over the years and changed somewhat - dont think I am alone. C May have been the info from the transfer tape changed to the records when mixed

I think sometimes that as new info comes out then occasionally the session order gets corrected however I thought that this was related to new titles/mix ups since addressed by those present etc....why...what you found that makes you doubt this?

I only just noticed the filled letters - and I have seen this often - there is so much visually I miss. For me - new covers for the 70's usually work well. Off now to listen to Love Drops from Mothership

Kicked me out of a desert of music to get Pax back on - Calliope here we come!

What a lovely resource - not all my cup of tea but this little gem looked interesting: https://www.otrcat.com/p/jazz-club-usa

Wow - this would be lovely to see when the resources and audio can work in tandem

Great recording - listened to it last night - however please note I have a faulty last 2 tracks which skip and seem poorly printed to CD - not the live recording. I note others have had similar issues - so be warned. However the other tracks were beeeeautiful to listen to so still worth it. Lets see if my replacement is any better.

This is helpful intel - so I am diving in and ordering this and the Freddie Hubbard set AND to cap it The Three Sounds live recordings as well -- and finally got the Joe Henderson and McCoy Tyner  live set I figured I rarely see live music and never saw these guys at the time (pre birth ) so will treat myself over the next 3-5 months

I quite like Lonnie Smiths The Awakening from Afrodesia - not too many good tracks on there but this was one and a few less rinky dinky Groove Holmes tracks were worth hunting out like this and also paired him off with Jimmy McGriff - this was recorded live Boston More info on the label here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groove_Merchant and loads of resources here http://www.jazzlists.com/SJ_Label_Groove_Merchant.htm I am now off disappearing down a 1970s organ fest rabbit hole as it reminded me to go find Reuben Wilson Sweet Life Yes!

TV networks have been churning out worse with less plot changes - this even if it runs to ground with a note to say the recording was awful - would at least close the file.

Cue very dramatic music ! The plot thickens......

Oh wow - where to start - such a back catalogue and introduced me also to so many other artists. What a character and what a legacy. My fav 3 right now: (as is firing them up on the system -will change by next week!) Alligator Boogaloo Callin All Cats and that recording of John Pattons Funky Mama I was lucky enough to have a whole set of videos of him playing along with Lonnie Smith which although not live in person were a pretty close second. Many of them are thankfully on YouTube...talking of which - I have just found this -

Wow - that is a very nice find.

No need to apologise This stuff needs time and effort Listening now to Woody Shaw after a whole heap of Bobby Hutcherson - lovely Website a little noisy with graphics but loving it so far Jazz on Class

Do tell more? Is this one of the "live" tapes we had access to or something new? I knew this was a keeper But none of my work = Javier Gonzales - wonder if this sprung up the sorts of leads thesis can ie "well did you ever speak to ...." Hope so For Javier's sake Such a rich piece of work - turning what we say here as "well I heard" into cited quotes etc

Did you want access to the thesis? - I remember putting that here for wider reading: https://andybleaden.blogspot.com/2007/07/thesis-on-john-patton-by-javier.html I also put it onto a pdf - not sure now why - probably so I could print it back then: John Patton Thesis by Javier Gonzales

The Steppin out lp I remember seeing quite a bit in UK Secondhand record shops - remember hearing it and was nearly tempted and also Boss Tres Bien and quite liked the title track - in fact - now I have just also found a version on youtube and that floats my Sunday morning stuck in because it is raining boat!

I have had this for years and years and did not ever have the brains to work out the Ray Draper set was the one from Prestige (or as it says here now I have my glasses on - from Jubilee Records!)
