A very nice article. It made wonder what may be lost before anyone today ever knew it existed. Full article. https://josephwwashek.substack.com/p/the-jaki-byard-78-rpm-mystery-record Records are endless, their number infinite in the span of human life, not only the records manufactured now and sold new but also all those of the past, the classic icon and the unknown masterpiece records which are sometimes found in the flea markets, the Goodwills and the junk shops in the same bins with multitudes of the records, probably not heard by anyone for decades, of artists; some once popular, all now long forgotten. No one could hear or know of any but the tiniest percentage of all the records that exist. The record collector searches in wondrous puzzlement. Discographies are guides to aid record collectors in their hunting and gathering in the infinite. The jazz discography, the result of many decades of work by many researchers, exceeds 34,000 pages and theoretically lists all jazz records by even the most obscure artists with label and issue numbers, the recording dates, the personnel, and the names of the tunes. But what if a record by a well known and highly respected jazz artist wasn’t listed in the jazz discography? In the world of jazz collectors and scholars, it would not exist, even as a fabled rarity. No one would search for it. Scholars wouldn’t seek information about it. Collectors wouldn’t ask each other, “Have you ever seen a copy of ..…….. ,” seeking confirmation and assurance that the record existed and that it could be acquired given enough time, determination, and money. The record would be waiting, silent, until a collector found it.

I thought there was a discussion on jazz in commercials. I couldn't locate that thread, but here's a commercial. "The Sidewinder" Not a jazz musician in a commercial, but a jazz tune in one. https://instagram.com/p/DCAniQaMhNz/
