Wow Peck, Pee Wee and Jack!

PEE WEE!

I've noticed I haven't!

Well so far I see he was engaged to Bardot, but not married to her. . . . What did he do for an encore!

This Jazz in Paris one looks great. . . I love the guitar sound he had then, I think it must be those pickups, right Jim? Okay, who was he married to. . . I guess I better do some research!

A few tracks have shown up on compilation cds, the one that couw mentions, and also the title track has been on the Chess Jazz Story collection. . . it's possible he was playing from one of these. Or it's possible it has been released in Japan, though I haven't seen this to be the case.

My Main Man, with Bennie Green. . . I don't believe it has ever been on cd, but I would like to be wrong.

Those look like darned good deals from half.com to me. I've never seen these cheaper.

BIG agreement here with you there.

Lots of good suggestions here. I'm with you on Flanagan Tod; I listened to about three sessions of him backing up Coleman Hawkins yesterday and he often pulled my attention. What great touch! Here's one I'd like to see: Complete Verve-labels Lee Konitz. I was shocked to see how much unreleased stuff there is on an online discography.

I'm completely with you Matthew on all counts. How about a Keynote set? Nah, nevery happen I've suggested an Una Mae Carlisle set, complete recordings would make about four or five cds (depending on what extra is out there to be found) and I want the damned booklet! I doubt it will ever happen.

I believe they are simply facing an economic issue and deciding that without name recognition they will sell even fewer than a contemporary American jazz artist sells, and that it is not cost-effective to release these here.
