No problem, but I am afraid the others do not really have a leader track record to speak of ...

Session of 17 Feb. 1948:

John Dankworth (cl), Eddie Thompson (p), Bert Howard (b), Vic Feldman (dr)

Session of 12 June 1951:

Vic Feldman multiple records vibraphoe, piano and drums

Session of 19 March 1954:

Vic Feldman (vib), Stan Watson (g), Lennie Bush (b), Freddie Manton (dr and Indian drum)

Session of 14 July 1954:

Vic Feldman (vib and congas), Tony Crombie (p), Lennie Bush (b)

See what I mean?

P.S. I COULD list my first Johnny Dankworth and Tony Crombie leader LPs ever purchased but I am not sure this is the idea behind this thread in the long run ...

Thank heaven there's a Victor Feldman in the stacks (actually, binders):

with Carl Perkins, Leroy Vinnegar, Frank Rosolino, and Harold Land

[Big Beat Steve]

Uh oh ... back to well-trodden hard bop territory, then?

Nobody around here ever bought any of the numerous Johnny Dankworth leader records? (There are some that would have led straight to Ronnie Scott and therefore to Tubbs, but oh well ... )

O.K., MY first Frank Rosolino record comes from the same stable:

Frank Rosolino Quintet on Mode LP 107

also feat. R. Kamuca, V. Guaraldi, M. Budwig, S. Levey (again )

[mjzee]

Much better...

Conte Candoli (tp) Frank Rosolino (tb) Dexter Gordon (ts) Lou Levy (p) Leroy Vinnegar (b) Stan Levey (d). I first had this on a Bethlehem reissue "Stanley The Steamer, featuring Dexter Gordon."

[Tom 1960]

First Frank Rosolino purchase:

Features Harold Land and the very familiar names Victor Feldman, Leroy Vinnegar and Stan Levey.

[Dan Gould]

Not much different from where we've been but my first Harold Land purchase was

In addition to Blue, Kirk Lightsey, Reggie Johnson and Tootie Heath were on board.

[Tom 1960]

My first Blue Mitchell album was Blue Soul. Featuring Jimmy Heath, Curtis Fuller, Wynton Kelly, Sam Jones and Philly Joe Jones.

[Dan Gould]

[Shawn]

My first Duke Jordan...

Flight To Denmark w/Mads Vinding & Ed Thigpen

[Big Beat Steve]

My first Duke Jordan...

Flight To Denmark w/Mads Vinding & Ed Thigpen

Too bad my first exposure to Ed Thigpen (Jutta Hipp at the Hickory House) doesn't qualify according to the stricter rules of the game. At tleast that would get us out of the hard bop rut again a bit ...

[JohnJ]

Duke Jordan - Flight to Jordan

With Dizzy Reece, Stanley Turrentine, Reggie Workman and Art Taylor.

[Big Beat Steve]
