I would, however, hope that being a music lover is not intrinsically incompatable with being a music curator at the Smithsonian.

Definitely NOT mutually exclusive, I would think!  Just two different angles on the same thing: musicophilia.

Different jobs, different "responsibilities."

I have one LP with that same strange and somehow a bit cheap looking cover design. 
Junior Cook is great and I have seen him together with Bill Hardman, or also with Louis Hayes as I think.

I don´t have that, I think with a few exceptions I have a big hole in my Dexter discography. I have the early Savoys and Dials, some of the Steeple Chase and later the CBS LPs after his return to the States. 
It may be that the reason was that Dexter in the late 60´s and early 70´s was not my main focus, it was a time when his playing might not have been so much in fashion in the USA. 
But I think I remember I heard a Dexter Gordon at Montreux from that same time at someone´s place and it was more interesting for that time, since it had Fender Rhodes and electric bass, so it might have been more "modern" at the time I heard it......., but really: I became a fan of Dexter only after I had learned that there were men before Mingus, who´s names were Bird, Diz, Fats, Bud, .......and naturally: Dexter !

I wish Tito would've listed the personnel on his albums.

I hear Charlie Palmieri's organ on several cuts, but I'd love to know the names of all of the musicians.

@mikeweil, IIRC, you were working on a Tito Puente discography.  Is that correct? 

If so, I'd be first in line to use it.

Yes, I've noticed this as I've begun exploring more salsa (and Latin music in general) over the last few years.  Often, neither the recording dates nor the musicians are listed.  And it would be nice to know who they players are (especially), so you can do "musical hopscotch," jumping from sideman to leader, leader to sideman, to expand one's knowledge.   . . . The discographical details on (most) jazz albums help facilitate that.

It is an adventurous "research journey" but also part of the fun .... and often it helps to listen even closer to recognise/distinguish individual musicians ....
