Any yet the stuff on that 1938-41 disc (including the RCA material such as "Blitzkrieg Baby") is among the most widely re-re-reissued material by Una so basically most of the music should be around (offhand I can think of 3 or 4 RCA LPs plus one on Harlequin) if you don't shy away from secondhand sources. The 1941-44 fills a much more obvious gap of recordings that have not been recycled that often.

The Harlequin I have, but it's material from 1942-44. What are the records or disks you are talking about for the 1938-41 material? Thanks so much!

It's available as a download in the 'Complete Jazz Series' on e-music and amazon (in the UK at least).

Still awaiting confirmation on the Chronological Classics thread but these seem to be the JCC in new clothes for the download age.

If you don't do downloads, won't be much help. But it is a way to get the music (no discographical info, though).

For some stupid reason, we Americans can't download these reissues. I don't get it, but that's what it says when I try to order this. I've tried on a few sites with no luck! I want to thank you for weighing in, though. I reallly appreciate it.

I'm not sure we're talking about the same Harlequin disc:

The 6 tracks of her London session of 20-05-38 are on "Safely Locked Up In My Heart" (Harlequin HQ 2076, also fetauring Lil Armstrong sessions and 2 tracks from 1939 featuring Una Mae Carlisle as pianist with Danny Polo etc.)

6 tracks from her 02-08-40 and 13-11-40 sessions are on "The Greatest of the Small Bands Vol. 6" (RCA FXM1 7124, Black & White Series Vol. 141)

Her 10-03-41 session (4 tracks incl. Blitzkrieg Baby) is on "The Greatest of the Small Bands Vol. 3" (RCA 741 117, Black & White Series Vol. 106) and on "Swing Vol. 1" (RCA LPV-578), and others.

Which makes a total score of 16 out of the 21 tracks of the 1938-41 Classics CD.

Maybe worth checking out (if that CD really proves elusive) unless you have most of the other (fine!) music on those LPs anyway.

Not sure if Blake is doing lps or not.

The session with Lester Young has been on cd a number of times, including the appropriate volume in the Masters of Jazz series, and the Blue Moon small group series. It's one of my favorite sessions of all time.
