Michael Fitzgerald Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 (edited) According to the Fantasy catalog (2002 print and online), the Prestige CD "Soul Summit includes material by Gene Ammons/Sonny Stitt/Jack McDuff. One track is "Scram" with an R. The dreaded allmusic site credits this to "Feather" presumably Leonard (and ASCAP does list a tune of this title by Leonard Feather) and the narrative says it's played by McDuff with Harold Vick. However, BMI shows a tune by this title composed by Jack McDuff (which I tend to go with here). If it is performed by McDuff, this is the sole title included from a December 1, 1961 session. Here's the puzzler - several of the other tracks on this CD are by Ammons from April 13, 1962. The final track performed at that session was "Scam" - no R, which according to BMI is a title composed by Gene Ammons. So........which is it? And was it the same on the original "Soul Summit, vol. 2" LP (7275) or did someone read the title wrong and grab the wrong tape at some point? Or is it all just a coincidence? Thanks!

Mike ← I don't have the CD, but I can tell you what's on the LP's. "Sock" (7400) contains a tune entitled "Scam" (comp. Ammons) rec. 4/13/62 "Soul Summit Vol. 2" (7275) contains a tune entitled "Scram" (comp. McDuff) rec. 12/1/61. Don't know if this answers your question!

Michael Fitzgerald Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Yes, it helps - I guess it's all a coincidence. But apparently the credit to Leonard Feather is definitely wrong. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Here's a little related tidbit - The CD issue of "Brother Jack Meets The Boss" is listed as having SIX tracks in the Fantasy catalog (2002 print and online). However, the dreaded allmusic site lists an additional timing (6:10) for a tune with no title, no composer. Amazon also has this seventh track (listed as "Bonus Track"). In fact, the tune is "Ballad For Baby" which is also found on the "Soul Summit" CD. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
