Bill did not arrange for the jazz scene alone but was sucessful also on pop and rock arranging for groups. He had a broad feeling for music and melodies. Have most of his works (official & unofficial) and can only say I like everything I hear from him.

Today in memoriam - great concert

😁 👍 👍 😁

Liberty LRP 3380 (FSR reissue 1985) - Bob Florence " Here And Now" - rec. 1964 - Engineer: Bones Howe

Verve MV 2087 (Japan 1974) - Stan Getz & Bill Evans - "More Previously unreleased Recordings" - rec. 1963

Norgran MG N-1065 (Japan 1995) - Various " An Evening Of Jazz " Featuring - Sonny Criss And His Orchestra /Tommy Turk And His Orchestra / The Six

Yes do agree what you say. Good coverart is very important for me too but seldom seen these days. I may refer to DSM on CLEF/NORGRAN & Verve. The music inside is excellent.

Norgran MG N-1094 - Buddy DeFranco " Odalisque" - rec. 1953 (A) / 1954 (B)

😁 ❤️ 👍 A 'classic' for me even it wasnt Stans favorite! Yep! A great one!

Ah yes I can follow that. The history of Discogs at the beginning had another purpose. If you start such a database its simply an empty skeleton without any use for collectors. The most important feature and need was to fill it with data. So every member was invited to add as much as possible. The second period they started then later with the real business Idea to make money charging a percentage of provision on the new created 'market' section for those who want to sell something. For us as jazzfans one most important data is missing in the system. Its the rec. date. Discogs never cared for this. For the collector however ist important to learn and see how an artists improves his position within the music to reach a 'top' position. Discogs is in my opinion NOT a music database (any noise in any form is submitted) but a decription of physical individual characteristics which is not what a musicfan is looking for. You did mention it above. So I use Discogs the way you do and not the way those "crumbhunters" & bureaucrats see as most important. Thanks for you insights.

Its not a bad one. Have it and play it here and then.

😁 💗 Love it. A 'classic' for me. Yes indeed a great compilation. Have the UA & PJ material on vinyls 😁 💗 👍

Yes indeed. Contemporary had excellent live recordings. Its a favorite label I have colleted for many years beside Pacific Jazz/World Pacific
