Can suggest "Howard Roberts is a dirty guitar player" ;-}}

Horst Jankowski was featured in many radio broadcasts from radio Süddeutscher Rundfunk Stuttgart which I have taped for my collection. For his discography look here: https://www.discogs.com/artist/59283-Horst-Jankowski Horst Jankowski is also found on my MPS 2-LP-set "Jazz made in Germany" MPS 0088.053 from 1981. He was member of the Erwin Lehn orchestra at radio Stuttgart (former SDR). Here is the content of that set + a pix from his "Jazztime Stuttgart EP (Bertelsman label) with 4 tracks: you go to my head / blue moon / There's a small hoterl / basically Jake

Missing Volume VII Here is the rest

Correct. Wasnt it "Auto-Motor Verlag" and changed later. ... and also thanks for that DB link from 2011. Really hadnt seen it . So this topic was discusses some years ago. BTW I have the Down Beat magazine from 1956 (incomplete) / 1956 to 2013 missing 5 or 6 single copies + many years of the german "Podium". Have also alot duplicates to trade of someone is interested. Here and then Down Bear & Jazz Posium are really useful for a research. Very interesting are the DB blind fold tests with some famous artists. Those with Miles are really "something" . Is it allowed then to discuss the DB Yearbooks here?

Another interesting source are the DOWN BEAT record review books. They were issued from 1956 ( Volume I) up to 1963 (Volume VIII) Content is a replica print of all the reviews from the Down Beat jazz magazine. Have all volumes except Vol VII but have the complete single copies of DB 1962. Vol. I has 230 pages, vol. VIII has 318 pages

Thanks for the Info I should mention that "Jazz Is Beck" from Munich ( editor Manfred Scheffner) has issued for JAZZ also yearly catalogs " Bielefelder Katalog" with 3 Indexes - Track Titles - Artists (Interpreters) -Labels. Dont know whether they ever were available online. [these were published in Germany only I think] - Have the volumes from 1975/75 up to the late 1990s:

Well here is the Hamilton (missed the Ralph Burns indeed but have it now on my want list) ;-]]

Interesting Information about the content of the MCA Jazz Lab series (silly covers indeed). Have them submitted nearly completely at Discogs here: https://www.discogs.com/label/635161-Jazz-Lab except the Vol 1 which I have as original.

Yes I have them all from the former "Jazz is Beck". Admit it was a lot of money but they are really valuable.

Issued by Muse Records in 1975

was part of the "lost" B.H. thread ;-]] Like it. My favorite tenor sax player of them all

A great 2 LP set is the following MCA Records MCA 4113 " Jazztime USA " - The Best of Bob Thiele's Classic Jam Sessions of the 1950's

Re: Ray Brown with a big band: Hi Larry, nice find really and what a price! As a mainly big band collector (but also a lot of small group jazz here) I have these 2 for quite some time in my stock: Brown,Ray ...with the Allstar Bigband 1962 Verve(jap) 4008 Brown,Ray Ray Brown / Milt Jackson - arr O.Nelson & J.Heath 1965 Verve (jap) 2076 The Oscar Peterson Trio with the All Star big band was also reissued on a Verve CD 821 896-2 (german edition) and is arranged and conducted by Ernie Wilkins. Really a "burner".

Sooner or later for a collector the need arises to find more Information about his collection. The liner notes for many labels were not always informative (missing data for playing artists, recording date a.o.) So beside collecting records I was also interested in Information about the main labels, the cover art by well known artists as David Stone Martin, Jim Flora a.o. In an old thread here at Organissimo I found the following Information: Nice books, Japanese text but they have what I suppose are complete label listings by album, organized by catalog numbers. They contain photographs (mostly black and white, some color) of most album covers (the fronts) with credits. Handy references. The Blue Note Book / The Prestige Book / The Bethlehem Book . That brought me back memory lane and to look at my jazz book shelf because I remembered that I had these and some more. There is one with the title - "West Coast Jazz 1950 - 1961" (An Anthology Of California Modern Jazz) - The Riverside Book (Discography of all series) - Jazz Hero's Data Bank (complete issued recordings) for selected artists - Blue Note Book (a definitive edition) - Blue Note Book (edition 1998) They all are witten in japanese language which I cannot read. But in the content of every LP is listed by Cat #, a thumpnail cover scan in b&w, recording date, artists and tracks in latin characters so the important data are availabel for the collector. Here are the scans of these Items. Would be interesting to learn if among the members there is more material of such kind available.
