Thanks!

I don't need any personnel, recording dates, locations, etc. All that stuff is in the Cuscuna/Ruppli book. What I'm interested in is the information that isn't.

"Gravity Point" is listed as 5:10 (not 6:10) on my Liberty/UA BST 84339 copy.

[brownie]

Wolff beat me to the Roaches! Please note that its Frederick Roach (not Freddie) on the cover of 'All That's Good'.

I have the Kenny Cox and will post the details when I get home later today!

Ed: oops! Bill Fehnor beat me to that one too!

[couw]

FWIW, track timings on the Freddie Roach Brown Sugar TOCJ 4168 CD are slightly off from what Wolff posted: 4'20" - 7'16" - 6'40 - 6'52 - 5'05" - 6'40"

[Bill Fenohr]

Brandon is correct, the actual time on Gravity Point is 5:10. The album jacket i had has the mistaken time of 6:10.

Beautiful - just need Soul Symphony and in less than a day, I'll have had a number of questions answered very efficiently. Thanks to all.

The Elegant Soul listing reminds me of another puzzle that I just solved - V. Pea? What kind of name is that?

Known Blue Note compositions -

the two from The Three Sounds: Elegant Soul

Do It Right Now

Elegant Soul

four from Blue Mitchell: Collision In Black

I Ain't Jivin'

Jo Ju Ja

Keep Your Nose Clean

Kick It

and one from Blue Mitchell: Bantu Village

Bush Girl

Frequent collaborator is Dee Ervin. I was thinking that V. Pea (or Vee Pea, as it is expanded in other sources such as the GEMA database) might be reference to VP - a Vice President, maybe of Liberty/Blue Note? Hmmmm.

In fact, it's Virginia P. Bland, according to BMI (where I learned she composed over 100 tunes). This is someone I know nothing else about. If anyone's got more, I'd be curious to know.
