I did the best I could. This isn't easy.

[mikeweil]

It would be easier to help you if you stated what you specifically want.

Why didn't you include issue numbers? Do you have the Riverside box?

Or do you want to know whether this is the complete contents of the box set?

There were two editions, an LP set in Italy, and a CD set by Fantasy. The latter has a few more tracks.

You could check here - but this may contain some inaccuracies.

[EKE BBB]

Go to:

http://www.howardm.net/tsmonk/recordsb.php

And click on "Riverside: All the details here" and you´ll get all the discographical information for "Thelonious Monk - The Complete Riverside Recordings.

Riverside RCD-022-2 15CD set"

[couw]

an alternative booklet for the Riverside set can be found here (MSWord doc). Instructions here.

[Mr Mingus]

Do you have the Riverside box?

You could check here - but this may contain some inaccuracies.

←

i dont have the box, but I have almost all of the cd's that make it up. The first draft I posted was taken out of the link you gave, but it has different info than the one EKE BBB gave. For example:

Disc 2 track 8 - I Surrender, Dear

The first url says that on December 7, 1956, Clark Terry (tp) and Paul Chambers (b)

only played 'Bemsha Swing'... should I completly trust EKE BBB's link?

[Mr Mingus]

Im sure I can. Site looks pretty devoted. thx 4 the help.
